The Virginia Democratic platform
and the character Of the candidates are
such rs to thoroughly harmonic the
Virginia Democracy; but the real point
about the fight is that tho white people
of Virginia must maintain their civili-
xation.
The picture in the current number Of
Puck represents the African King of
Congo contemplating the last specimen
of modern invention, and seemingly de-
termlned TO brandish his club at any
thing. We know that Its better for the
negroes in the South to agree to the
rule Of intelligence, wealth, Christian
ity. and all modern ideas represented by
the white people. We know also that
any contradiction Of that idea merely
brings ruin and chaos. The Northern
people at one time got an idea that tho
negro race could produce big leading
men, and they undertook to put for
ward Fred. Douglas as a specimen.
Fred. Douglass is half-5reed, and
even as balf-breed, with the mind he
inherits from a left-handed deal, he has
not the intellectual and moral power to
formulate any plan by which nature B
law eau be contrsdicted.
The best thing and the only thing FOR
the Southern negro TO do is TO accept
the situation, which is decree of ma
ture that makes them inferior to the
white race.
The white Republicans of Virginia
may claim "A certain sort Of respectable
ty, and there are many of them who
from certain family influences arc
gentlemen.
But the present position Of ex Gov
srnor Cameron and the Lewises aud
others shows that no honest and pa
triotic man can follow the personal
flag Of Malone when there is nothing 10
him and his party but political piracy.
We can well understand that Messrs.
Cameron. Riddle5erger. Yost and many |
others conceived tho idea that Republi-
cans might do the State Of Virginia
good: and we can zee how they changed /
their opinions.
We do not see now that Malone has
the support of any good men, aud the
desertion from his ranks is the best
proof of his coming failure. All that
Malone has is the promised doodle
from Boss QUAY.

But the fact IL that the Federal party
was a dude party, and that Jefferson g

pan Of American politics.
The Republican party Of to-day ID the
tradition Of the old aristocratic Federal
party. Ii carries itself merely by the civil
war sentiment. The principles of the
Federal party committed suicide when
they came against American Demo-

LIBERTY, BEDFORD COUNTY. VA. Sep.
TENDER This town will soon be quite
an educational centre. The Metho1ists
are building Randolph Macon Acade-
my, 80 a cost OF between sixty and sev-
enty thousand dollars. The buildings
are now going up. and will be finished
so as to Opsn the school in the fall Of
1890. This school will fiji great want
IN this town and section Of the State.
IL IS understood that a first class faculty
is to be employed. Beside, this. the
Baptist Association, which met here
few weeks ago, determined 10 es-
tablish female institute at Liberty, so
the town will soon have good schools
for boys and girls.
The Granville Santarium is located
here. Tins is hospital for the sick
and afflicted, and is now open and
ready 10 receive patients, with DR.. I.
NJ. Bower as resident physician. This
sanltarlum has quite history. The
money for tho buildings was raised by
Mrs. f. III. Nicholl. an English lady.
mostly through the chain letter system.
Five thousand dollars was gotten in this
way, and about three thousand dollars
by private donations, chiefly by Mrs.
Nicholl and her father-iu-law, who
lives in London. The sanitarium is
by a board Of managers Sc
lected from the different denominations
Of the town. 1t has no endowment.
Protracted services are being hold at
St. Thomas Episcopal Church in the
neiShborhOod Of Oteryille, by the
Rev. L. w. Jones. of Liberty; the Rev.
Lyman b. Wharton, ID. d., professor at
William land Mary College. and the
Rev. L. Meade, evangelist Of the gpis-
opal Church.
The crops are Indifferent about here.
The people are threshing wheat, much |
II which is injured by the rain. There
IRE some good tobacco and corn crops
n this valley.
The Rev. I. w. Jones, OF Liberty. has
,een called to take charge Of st. |
.homas Church, and Is to hold an
fternoon service once a mouth.

GENERAL LEolTIME. the deposed Pres
ident OF Hayti. who arrived in New
York this week, says that he accepted
that office at the request of the people,
and that he resigned as soon as they
asked him to do 60. Unfortunately for
the Generals reputation for accuracy,
il is TOO well known that he did not
honor the request TO resign until 1t was
enforced with powder and bullets.
And that reminds Us of the descend
ing scale in the affairs of the Island OF
Hayti ruled by negroes.

OUR American Pinafore diplomacy Is
a wonder and delight to patriots, who
see the American csgle painted red.
There has been systematic piracy on the
property leased by the United States
under undisputed title. This question
is apart from the one Of national or in
ternational jurisdiction over alleged
ocean waters. The intruding vessels
show that they have no belief in their
right to fish by running away end
throwing their sealskins overheard on
the approach of a government vessel.
These evasions Of ourcruisers apparently
occur at points 30 close TO our islands
that the high sea claim cannot be set up
by the marauders.

THE Republican party cries aloud for
protection. All the time the masses of
the people pay tribute to monopoly.
Trusts can be organized without the as
sistance of protective tariffs wherever
opportunity may be offered for COM
bination of aggregated greed and
money. But protective tariffs invite
the formation Of Trusts by the offer of
legalized bounties and premiums to
their promoters. Many Trusts would
be impossible if the government were
no, party to the conspiracy against
the public welfare.

/ HARRISONISM \ DREARY FAILURE. --
The first test Of the popularity of The
new administration has been made AT
the congressional election in the Third
Louisiana district. That constituency
was Democratic in 1884 by 600:
in 1856, by 1880, and in 1888. by
1881. The administration lead
ers declared that. although %. 900 votes
were cast last fall Gays election was
practically without opposition. and
that with the influence OF a new con-
troll at Washington the colored voters
would rise and elect Minor, a model
candidate of the ideal Republicanized
new South.
Warmolh was appointed collector of
the port of New Orleans to help the
contest, and the flower of Republican
Congressional chivalry went to the
Louisiana lOwland, TO assist Minor and
enjoy his triumph.
An anchor was, it is true. cast to
wIndward IN the shape Of preparations
TO contest close result and 10 seat
Minor even If Price should win.
But the entire scheme has been
knocked to flinders. The Republican
combination Is showed under by
majority larger by some two thousand
than that of 1883. and the ghosts of q
legion of Eliza Pmkstons could not
evoke from the hard facts and solid
figures Of the Democratic triumph the
faintest hone 10 base Republican con-
test on Nelc York star.

But we are inclined to think that the

Allthe same. the promises are strong

held back in order to multiply the prom
