Some OF the virginia hepuVllOa"o "P
pear TO have listened so long for a pro-
mise of Office without a whisper OF en-
couragement that they think the Pre- l.
dent is Benjamin the Silent. Perhaps a
few silent recogDitions OF Malone will
prove the eloquence Of an act as supe
rior TO the utterances Of the Promise
Bureau, which is known well to all
shrewd observers of Washington poll
ties. There be many country
politicians who have dwelt for
two seasons in the bright light
of that Promise Bureau, while
their papers" were in pickle and Cab
met chiefs waiting for hotel credit to
play out, and the member from our
d strict" to decline any further loans.
The last step is to pawn a watch, and
when the office-seeker gets to that
point he is expedited honeward by a
emile and assurance that his papers
are filed and will come up III their
turn" The member excuses himself
from further assessment with an addi-
tional assurance Of hope, and even
when his case is IN drticul0 morris
which, being translated, signifies
"pursted still the ofiice-seeker floats
away on frail raft, thinking to get
into consulshipa at Hong Kong, OF some
other seaport.
But, behind all this dallying and
lying. the politicians, from the Presi.
dent down to deputy bureau chief.
know one hard principle, and that Is
to recognize the power that commands
the votes, and they are smart enough
TO know whether an alleged "leader
in State has any power that a states
man must respect.
And that is why we say and we sing
that unless Mr.. Harrison changed
Washington politics he will see that
Malone commands at least $4,000 ne
gro votes that he can muster or dis
integrate and demoralize. and that he
is the man with the ability and pluck
to use that power-win or lose. II
there is any other Republican politician
in the State who can organize and
command that cohort we Tetract our
opinion IL the effect that Ma
hone is virtually the leader OF
the Virginia Republican party He
made the men who now kick against
his autocratic rule and personal con
ceit. and he is the man to let them
know that he can break up the party
and its kickers with it, root and branch.
A Pirate King has been known 10 leave
the enemy and the hoped-for booty In
order to take time to make a recalcl-
trant deputy pirate walk the plank with
nothing but the chance of shark to
keep him company under the glad
waters of the deep blue sea-
We should say, therefore, If the anti
Mahoneites wish to preserve any politi-
cal existence they had as well make up
their minds to put on that collar again
a1d get out license from Malone TO
practice politics in his circuit. Other
wise IL will be simply game between
them and Malone which shall get their
party beaten first.

The political aquarium which floats
the hopes and aspirations of the Prohibi-
ton party has not quite bursted its dam.
but it is not by any means the water
power that it was year ago. Time was
when the aquatic philanthropists calcu-
lated on irrigatiug the entire political
power Of the country. washing away
all the rum and beer, and enhsting
lovely woman in the task OF
absolute prohibition. But lovely
woman has not responded in sufficient
force to encourage the ProhibitionIsts
who have endured a setback all along
the line except certain points like Kan
sas, and there the political lunatic asy-
lum has made itself and its cause such
objects of ridicule that the next cleo
tious will probably overthrow the pres
ent dynasty, and the tyrant man will
resume his rights
