THE REPUBLICAN Party OF VIRGINIA
CANNOT SUCCEED UNDER ITS PRESENT Or
eANIzATIoN.-In speaking of the present
organization of the Republican party of
this State, with Gen. Malone at it's head,
the Valley Virginian says
"We are we'll satisfied the party can nev-
er succeed under it, and that it is the duty
of the people who constitute the party to
demand a change. More especially is this
necessity pressing since the infamous secret
circular Was made public and the plot ex-
posed by which the people are to be gagged
popular sentiment suppressed, and the
party organization prostituted to the selfish
purpose of one man. No man who could
concocs such a plot is fit to direct the dssti-
MES of party, or to dictate its policy, nor
can he command its confidence.
Controlling the columns of Republican
journal We have felt it to be duty to the
party to criticise and expose the unprece-
dented and intolerable despotism which has
been the ruling influence in it's management,
and endeavOr to arouse the people to the
fatal mistake they are making of keeping
silent for fear of being charged with being
''kickers" against the autocracy that has
been permitted to rule and govern and
dominate all the party's interests. No par
ty can live and grow under such conditions.
1t is not entitled to live, if it should COM
placently submit longer to one man power,
and the methods which have been forged to
crush out the manhood of those who consti-
tute it. -
We venture nothing in saying the Repub-
lican party in Virginia under its present
management will never win a victory. We
venture nothing in saying that if the plans
and plots of the chairman are carried out,
Virginia will give Democratic majority Of
10000 this fall, and send, if not full, very
nearly full Democratic delegation to Con.
gress. 1t is this we would prevent, and il
| is with the people to say whether it shall be
or not. We have done and mean 60 do our
duty, as we understand it. 1t is for them
to do theirs

The Alteghony Sentinel is laboring under
the erroneous impression that an extension
OF the session of the Legislature would
have entailed additional expense on the
State. In an extension, the members
draw no pay-in a regular or extra session
they do. The Democrats were willing to
serve ten days more without pay, that they
might complete their legislation-the Re-
publicans were not, and voted unanimously
against the extension.

The HnhenZOllernS.

The new Emperor of Gsrmany-whon
for two generations We have known as the
Crown Prince ("Our Fritz" )-takes the title
of Frederick III. The last Prussian sover
eign named Frederick was called the Great,
the most illustrious of the Hohenzollerns.
There have been seven sovereigns in this
line, beginning with the first Frederick,
who was born in 1857 and crowned in 1701
The second, Frederick William l., was the
real founder of the Prussian monarchy
His character, as written by Macaulay, was
that of an incorrigible brute, but this yer.
dict Carlyle reversed and redeemed in his
marvellous portrait of the strong willed
pious King.
Frederick l., called the Great, was born
in 1712 and assembled the throne in 1740
His history is known of all men, ''the last
of the kings" as Carlyle called him. HI
reigned forty years, and was succeeded
by a nephew, Frederick William H., who
kept the throne after fashion for clever
years, and allowed the monarchy to fall into
enervated ways. His son, Frederick Viii
liam Ill, the granddaughter of Frederick
the Great, grandfather of the present EN-
peror, was to ascend the throne in 1897 anG
reigned until 1910. He was the antagonist
of Napoleon and was overwhelmed at jena
Prussia falling into sad abasement and ruin
The dormant virtue of the German people
and the Kings sturdy good seuse, however
led to the revival of the Prussian power
which was shown in the Waterloo invasion
of France. His son, Frederick William
w., became King in 1910, reigning i,
stormy fashion until 1857, when insanity LEI
to his retirement, death supervening in 1861
when the recent Emperor came to the
throne.
The Emperor Frederick III. ia the eight
of his line. The Hohenzollerns have aver
aged reign of twenty seven and life O
sixty-six years each. The average, how
ever, is increased by the great age of th'
late Emperor. Of the seven sovereign

they were sxty.-N. 7. Herald.

Hon. ChaS. I. O'FerraI Interviewed.
The Washington correspondent of the
Richmond Dispatch, under date of the 9th
inst, says
''Mr. O'Ferrall to-day, discussing the
political outlook for the coming campaign,
said: II think there is no doubt that Cleve-
land will be nominated at St. Louis without
opposition and by reclamation. New York
will present his name and none other will
be mentioned. He will sweep the country.
The people want an honest administration,
and they know they will have that from
him. He is his own man and administers
his high Office according to his own ideas
of right. There is no kitchen Cabinet at
the White House nowadays. The great
issue of the campaign will be whether the
country will have pure and honest Demo-
cratic Government or an impure and dis.
honest Republican Government. The tariff
of course will be an important feature, and
it is very important that satisfactory bill
shall be passed by the House of Represent
atives. Democratic congressman must do
their duty on this question and pat the
responsibility for any failure to reduce the
surplus upon the Republican party. The
House ought to pass tariff bill reducing
the surplus, relieving the people of the high
taxes on articles of necessity, aud repeating
the tax on tobacco and fruit-brandies. i
believe such bill will be passed. Virginia
will give the Democratic candidate big
majority whoever he may be, but Cleve
land would be the strongest man we could
run in that State, and believe in all the
States. III my opinion Mr.. Blaine will be
the nomineesof the Republican party. l
think him the strongest man they have, but
Cleveland will beat him again as he beat
him before. Blaine and Harrison will pro-
baby be the Republican ticket. The Demo-
Gratis will be guided in their selection of a
candidate for the vice-presidency moro by
the policy of location than by personal pre-
elections If Cleveland is nominated the
vice presidency will go West, and it will go
to the State where in the opinion of the
convention it will do the most good. My
personal preference would be Assistant
Postmaster General Stevenson, who has
proved himself to be sterling Democrat,
aud has made hosts OF friends all over the
country"
