LAssISG. May 6.-During the dis
cussion Of the street railway ten-hour
ball. in the senate, Tuesday. Senator
stevens maintained that the bill as
amended was Of no benefit to the
laborer, but wholly in the interests of
the street railway companies. Senator
wlsner proved himself the champion ef
the railway company, and Senator
Sharp strongly supported the amend
n,ent. Senator Wilmington thought the
bill an unnecessary interference. ~ the
employees seemed capable Of protecting
themselves. Senator Smith sald ne
could not vote for the bill as amended.

rlared II one OF the best measures for

Introduced during the session. He
wanted tkc bill referred to the Commit
Tee on Labor.
Wisner's Vigorous Oppositiou.
Senator WIsner insisted upon the un-
constitntionalityo the bill. as the courts
could not interfere with any mans
working twenty-four hours day if he
.anted to do so. Senator Park charged
that past administrations OF the State
had SO skillfully arranged things that,
when measures IN the interest of labor
we're proposed. some one should come
forward, just rs Senator Wisner was
now doipg. with the cry OF 'unconsti-
tutlonanty" TO defeat them. The mo-
ION to refer the bill to the Committee
on Labor, where 1t would meet with
friendly treatment, was then lost by
vote Of l3 10 Is. Ten of these nay
votes were Democrats. and Demo
cratic L,eutenant-Governo broke the
tie by voting with the negative. The
proposition TO give the bill fair show
for existence having been defeated by
Democratic votes, In the interest of the
Detroit street railway monopoly. Sena-
tor Park was graciously permitted the
favor OF sending his bill back to the
committee of the whole.

The Alliance IN Virp1nia.

Presumably goodly number Of the
persons in attendance upon the State
Fair are members OF the Alliance. They
will mako themselves known and felt as
such. They belong to an organization
which may grow into large proportions
or may droop and die. Their demands
arc not all based upon visionary notions,
nor upon hopes destined never to be
realized. We have never ridiculed any
OF their demands except that for the
sub-Treasury scheme or the proposition
to convert the whole Union into ware

tobacco. &c., &C., TO be kept therein a.
basis upon which TO lend money to land.

The Success OF the Fair.

Our Fair Is o success. The attend
snce Yesterday was great qualification
70 its managers, and as the people went
there to see people as we'll as the exit
bits, it pleased them too. 1t was a grand
gathering and large one.
Though agricultural and mechanical
exhibitions are hardly in consonance
with present ideas of metropolitan great
ness, for want OF anything better to draw
country and city folks together they
serve an admirable purpose, and while
every one in the community is not
equally benefited by them. that they
are advantageous to the general pub
lie we entertain no doubt.
II they were productive OF no other
good purpose than to keep up Old ac'
quaintanceships. that would be asuffic'epf
reason for their continuance at least M
til we can supply their places with some
thing better.
We have excellent grounds and spa
cious buildings, and every year we should
put them to use. and by fairs or enter
tainments of some sort bring the people
here to see rs. In this way we may DO
something to counteract the effects OF DIS
eliminating railroad schedules. which are
estranging yirginians from their capital
city.
1t is not necessary to resort to vast ex-
penditures but We ought always to try
to present some novelties and to have
military displays like those OF yesterday
And we should no. forget to recognize
the services of public spirited citizens
like President BUFoRD end his commit
teemen, who, without other hope OF reward
than the approval of the public, give to
these enterprises vast deal OF precious
time and intelligent labor
The success OF this Fair should inspire
us to greater efforts aud induce US to put
the society upon q business footing Tor
the great work before 1t

FRIDAY. OCTOBER 80. 1891.
Another Word to Democrats.

The warning which we yesterday
sounded in the ears OF the Democrats OF
Virginia was not perfunctory eau
ton.
1t was meant to serve upon tho good
and true men OF this State due notice
that they must 60 to work in the cause
OF Democracy if they would next week
experience the consciousness OF having
performed their duty. 1t was to the
white men intended TO be reminder
that every Democratic vote cast next
Tuesday will tell, or ought to tell, in be-
half of the rule OF the white man.
II was meant. in short. to wake up the
drowsy Democrats il any such there
be and to notify those Democrats who
have hitherto during the present cam
paign conteuted themselves in the be-
Lief and expectation that the Demo
cratic party had buried all its enemies,
and, like ALEXANDRA the Great, had no
more worlds TO conquer. that oil tho
workers are just as much needed now as
they ever were, and must show them
selves and begin their work at once or 1t
will be too late to do so.
We know how hard it is for the Demo
Gratis TO realize that the Republican
party in its existing apparently demoral-
lied condition is an enemy moro to be
feared than it was when on some coca.
sions it presented much holder front
TO the Democrats than it does now. But
We beg all such Democrats and oil
others not to take success next Tuesday
for granted, but to go to work at once
70 secure good results by good work. 1t
may seem TO you now that the matter 10
not important but you will experience
deep regret next week If you learn that
you and others like you have made a
Republican triumph in Virginia posi-
bic. Do not subject yourself to this NOR
LITIGATION. You will have no excuse even
plausible to offer for your delinquency.
You will have done to your country an
injury whose results may last longer
than your life. You will, in a word,
have done yourself and your children an
irreparablc wrong.
Be not disposed to trade with the "ln-
dependents" An Independent candi-
date is @ candidate who expects to secure
Democratic votes because he is not a
true Republican. and Republican votes
because he is not true Democrat or,
10 phrase it differently. because he is
capable as he supposes OF being on both
side. at once. Pray do not trust such
men. Do not let yourself be misled by
such characters However, we do not
wish to say any hard words even about
the independents. We know that there
are some good men amongst them. Nor
is it necessary to employ harsh language.
DO your duty as Democrats, or, what
is the same thing, as loyal Virginians,
and all will be well. The November
elections will in that event add another
to the long List Of Democratic triumphs
which the true men Of this honored old
Commonwealth have gained during the
last decade.

Tha Onnnnents Of Our Candidates.

The Opponents Of Our Candidates.
With formidable opposition to the
Democratic nominees in sixty counties,
the canvass has become altogether
worthy OF public attention.
Most people have given it little
thought, because they felt that there
was no danger to be feared from our old
enemies. Kind. good, trusting souls,
they received as Gospel the assurance OF
General MALONE that the Republicans
would put up no legislative candidates
and that the field would be left wholly
10 the Democrats.
What do we now see =?
Why our party has an enemy before 1t
In two thirds OF tho counties, aud We
may reasonably look out for trouble in
dozen more counties.
In some instances our nominees
are opposed by men whom we can rely
upon as honest Democrats-Democrats
who will GO into our Legislative caucus
and stand by the decision OF that body
In the nomination Of United States Sena-
Tor, basement officers, etc. but the
great majority Of independents are Of a
different ilk.
The Little General is not going TO al.
low the negro vote to be given to any
candidate who is not likely TO be useful
TO him; useful to him either as IN &C.
tive and avowed partisan or as dis
turber Of the peace Of the Democratic
party. He has so far managed this cam
paign as shrewdly as any in which he
ever took hand. He has managed it
BY not seeming to have anything to do
With il; but though ostensihly absent
he has been present in reality and now
when he finds the Democrats but hall
aroused TO their danger he il coming in
10 il 70 deal Us blows from his straight.
out Republican shoulder.
Notwithstanding the "no-candidate y
circular there are two dozen Republican
candidates in tho field in Virginia, but
afIes I'll we have 10 fear independent,
more than these. Where Democrats
end Republicans confront each other
