IN A HOLE.

We know very well that there Is a
solid Republican vote in Virginia always
ready to be polled irrespective Of cause,
principles or persons. 1t represents The
opposition 10 responsibility and honesty
and rallies party vote that is a very
appropriate representative Of the great
fraud party that stole the Presidency,
and was kicked out for doing it.
This immense vote in Virginia has
been under the control of a master be-
cause the voters we're taught the practice
Of freedom, and the custom of a new
slavery without the morality Of the old
regime and with all the vice Of the new.
Perhaps the world has never seen such
q degrading spectacle as the sell out of
the colored race to a political master
after the people had been politically and
socially freed.
The Democrats have honestly done all
that could be done to protect the negroes
OF Virginia, and they have voted taxes
on the whole people to educate the
negroes. But the result is still, as for
twenty years, the solid black vote polled
for the foreign party that goes all the
time against the local interests of the
State. If there were patriotic men re-
presenting the Republican party in the
South with any ideas of local good TO the
people the general wickedness of the
party might be overlooked.
But invariably we are confronted with
a set of candidates who are the minions
of personal bossism, or who have been
discarded by the boss because they had
not the sense to acknowledge the supe
rior power of political pirate who had
the capacity of organization.
The idea that Malone is ruined by the
uuarrels in his own party is great mis-
take, and the supposed quarrels will not
cost the Republicans thousand votes.
The Republicans or Readjusters, or
whatever they may be, will all vote for
Harrison, and we remember that they |
have enough to beat US unless there is
very active canvass to bring out the
Democratic vote.
The issue between the two parties is /
one of argument, and thus far the Demo
Gratis seemed 20 be uninformed on The
main point, which is a question of re-
duciion of taxation.

There are three rules. he said I'm

Judges could only be brought TO believe
that as no two men arc alike, so no two

and that walk may be fair and yet diff

highly praised by competent judges Of
walking, whom equally good jGdges had
pronounced incapable of fair walking: in
fact, in no other sport is there room for
such wide variance of opinion among pre-
sumedly honest and intelligent men
The fundamental principle Of fair
walking Is that one foot must be on the
ground all the time; this is imperative.
as can easily be demonstrated by trial.
A violation of this rule must result in

Captain Howard Patterson, an old
salt, explains that minor officers Oh
ocean steamers are not subjected to the
same examination as captains aud first
mates.
Captain Patterson also points out the
fact that these officers are not required
to give proof of skill as nayigators. Let
us suppose that the captain and first
mate are washed overheard and lost-a
not improbable occurrence-then the
serious problem of getting the ship into
port arises. The ship and the passen-
gers are then in charge Of an incompe-
tent person.

the arguments for a reduction of war
