There will be fun in Virginia next
fall when the congressional campaign
opens. The indications now point TO
IL triangular fight in every district.
The popdlists have expressed their de
termination to place candidates in
every field, and it is said that the re
puhliclns will do likewise.
The Washington correspondent of
the Richmond Times has what h. re-
garl> a. reii ,ble inform ttion that the
republicans have already arranged to
make II desperate effort to carry the
SecoLd, Fourth, Ninth, and Tenth
districts.
The Fifth may be add ii To this list,
we think. We were reliably Informed
som time ago that only little work
in bringing about greater harmony in
their own ranks WAS necessary TO en-
able the republicans to present IL very
bold frOnt in this district Democrats
might as well make up their minds to
it. they are not going to have any
walk over this year. and to win they
will have TO do some right Lively irot
ting
But we democrats sometimes require
real opposition to show ourselves what
busters We are.-DanUitle Register.

THE ROAD QUEsTIoN.-The Danville
Reqister notes the fact that no ad
ditional legislation is necessary in Ordel
to give to the counties of the State thu
use of cOnvicts to work the roads
Nov, therefore, says the Register
''the.road question is simply this: |
is with the counties, and if the peopl
of any community want to improv
their roads they can do so by simpl
taxing themselves to pay for convict
to work them. By paying for convict
is meant paying for their maintenanc
and support while working" which
being interpreted, means that eac
county in the State may have goo
roads, if the people of the county wi
pay for the work. That is the Who'll
question in a nutshell, as we hav
several times pointed out.
