~rRrE sILyER"is STEADILY DYING

Several days back we commented upon
the platform which Mr.. BANDS Missouri
Convention had adopted to show that
his hold on the Democrats Of that State
has been very greatly weakened. and
that free silver" has nothing like the
grip there that 1t has heretofore had, or
that il is now generally supposed 10
have. AS we get more detailed informa-
lion concerning what took place at the
convention these facts come out all the
more clearly.
Mr. Bland said in an interview a few
days bacis of the platform adopted: 1T
I Is right-right in principle and right in
policy. do not see how we could
have made better platform. II is plain
and direct without being offensive to the
minority"
But Mr.. Bland went to the Missouri
Convention TO get a platform adopted
that would condemn Mr.. Cleveland's ad-
ministration; that would endorse himself
as the proper candidate Of the Democra-
cy for President and that would endorse
the free coinage of silver at a ratio of
IL to ]. He succeeded in neither one OF
these objects. He was ANONYMOUSLY de-
feated In ALL The convention endorsed
Mr.. Cleveland. 1t ignored Mr.. Bland, and
IT adopted silver resolutions which the
soundest men win raise no objection to.
While declaring for free silver. it de-
ma nd In an.
coinage that shall not disturb the set
tied and fixed order OF things. 1t was
about the same thing as to say that the
silver dollar must have a dollars worth
Of silver In 1t.

rnEIEssoN or NoKroLK's ELECTION

Our partys defeat in Norfolk Is mat
ter that should receive the most earnest
thought and consideration from every
Democrat in Virginia. 1t would be totally
misleading 10 ignore all other elements
involved In this contest and put it down
ms at all prohibition" victory. The
Prohibitionsts are strong in Norfolk, and
they worked zealously and enthusiastically
in this election. But they could never
have carried Norfolk as they have car
ried IL, by themselves. or with the aid Of
the Republicans. If the Democrats had
been united and satisfied. They have
had this prodigious triumph because they
were aided and assisted by many of the
foremost Democrats Of the city. and many
of the best Democratic voters who have
no faith in Prohibition principles voted
for their candidates. There was rebel
lion in the ranks Of our party in Nor
folk, and 1t would be very foolish in us TO
overlook or affect to ignore the fact.
1t is the part Of wisdom to recognize
It. to seek out the cause. and TO remove
that cause.
1t is not necessary TO look far for the
cause. It lies In the fact that The party
iE Norfolk had become nothing but
machine. and machine suspected. with
only too much reason, of securing its ends
by improper methods. The good people
of Norfolk have submitted TO the tyranni-
cal rule of this machine until, in their
opinion, forbearance had ceased to be
virtue. and the only resort was in re-
volution. This is dangerous resort, but
we cannot deny TO our brethren in Nor
folk the right to determine for them
selves when conditions have arisen that
make this resort necessary.
But Norfolk's case should cor tain les
son of very deep moment to the Demo-
Gratis of every other quarter in the State.
Norfolk is not the only place in the
State where machine methods have be-
come the rule. They have become preva-
lent all over the State, and there is
Norfolk in many counties In the State,
and the same causes which overthrow
the party in Norfolk will overthrow it all
over the State If the evils are not cor
rected. II Is idle for us TO close our eyes
to patent facts. The people all over the
State are Disguised with machine politics.
and they are demanding everywhere that
our party shall clean itself of them abso-
lutely. There is yet time to save the
party, but 1t cannot be saved If past
methods are adhered to. Norfolk should
be a warning TO us that the Democratic
party will lose control Of Virginia unless
n comes back 10 it's good old rule that
every man shall be allowed TO vote Just
as he pleases and have that vote counted
as the voter designs that 1t shall be. In
that lies safety; in the opposite there is
nothing but disaster and disgrace

his letter, and he makes a point that
Is worth noticing. He says:
1.-The Times contends that II is unjust
to allow A 10 go untaxed on his income
OF 1898, unless Il, who has an income of
$4,000 Tor more) is also allowed TO 20 IN
taxed. Now If 3 is allowed an exenD-
lion from tax on $3.50 of his income. and
is taxed only on the excess tone dollar
where Is the injustice? Do not both en-
JOY an equal exemption? Under the laws
OF Virginia incomes not exceeding $500 are
untaxed while those exceeding that
amount are taxed on the excess. Does
The Times consider this a case OF unequal
class legislation? II not, wherein lies the
difference?'
The injustice is right here II is an
injustice to one man to make him pay a
tax which another man who is able 10 nav
1t is exempted from paying II the prin-
ciple is admitted, the entire burdens of
Government may be cast upon the form
mer set OF men while the latter set is
allowed 10 go tax-free This would be the
most abominable form Of class taxation.
1t would be making part bear a burden
that should be ratably borne by all.
For this reason, as we have many
times said. II there IL to be an income
tax at all, 1t should be imposed upon
all incomes. There is principle how
ever, recognized in the Jurisprudence Of
all civilized people which is expressed In
the Latin maxim. de minimis lex non
curat." There may be right, but Il may
be so trihing that the law refuses tn
take cosnizance OF IL. On this principle
there are certain incomes that NAV be
properly exempted.
