The virginia Election Inv.

The following paragraph from the Bal
timorc sun would seem 10 indicate that
that paper H. wiser now than IL was TWO
weeks ago when it was posing as the
enemy or bosses in Maryland. and MS the
friend of honest elections In Virginia
Read
There is a strong election-reiorm ele-
mrnt in Virginia. with whom many OF the
NEST earnest and thoughtiul Democrats Oh
the State are in sympathy. These men VIII
be able In time to secure such amend
ments 10 the law as will make It's adj
mlnistraiion as nearly fair and impair
tial as il il possible to have any cleo
lion law But If. without warrant. the
Republican majority in Congress shall
unseat Democrats elected under the
present law upon the general alleSa-
ton that the law H. unconstitutional,
when there is not a line in the law TO
warrant the charge OF discrimination
against any class OF voters, then the
cause OF election reform in the state
viii receive shock from which il will
be long before il RECEIVERS. II the people
q Virginia should have reason to thlnk
that "a Republican Congress seriously con-
templates an invasion OF the rights OF
the States, IL will be impossible To- So
cure their consideration for any scheme
of election reform. however greatly 1t
may be needed
Here the Sun gives itself away" 1t
is evidently afraid Of its new Republican
allies. IL tells them that II. without
warrant. the Republican majority In
Congress shall unseat Democrats elected
under the present Virginia law, then
the cause of election reform i'm Virginia
VIII receive a shock from which it will
bc long before ii RECEIVERS. Why did
not the Sun treat the Maryland Demo
Gratis and the Virginia Democrats before
the recent elections in the same liberal
manner in which that paper proposes
now to treat the Republicans in Con-
rress-that is. give them time to make
reforms? The sun will find that the
Democratic Legislature in Virginia viii
do it's whole duty in the premises: and
We will add that that paper. instead Of
figuring now as an ally of the Repub-
lean party. would have been aligned
next winter with the Democrats of the
old Dominion Ia the work Of making
whatever reforms are needed In her cleo
ton laws
But what sort OF election "reformers"
are these new allies OF the Sun?-these
new allies in whom IL has SO little con-
hdence that 1t is afraid they will un-
scat Democrats in the next House of
Representatives IN violation OF the Con
stitutlon of the United States? Reeds
gang are expected TO put Republicans
in the place OF Democrats in that body,
not upon evidence Of fraud and cheating.
but Hpon the general allegation that the
law under which they We're elected is
unconstitutional Tho charge is 20 be
changed entirely. Instead OF arraigning
wrong -doers the Republicans Will ar
racn the law OF Virginia.
Let the sun ponder this subject. ana
repent and do its first works" Ii is
surely In bad company now, or will
be when the next Congress assemblies.

Among the amendments TO the new
code Of ordinances adopted by the city
Council night before last was one pro-
vidins that strect-cars in approaching
cross streets shall stop on the near
side" instead OF on the far side" as at
present.
This system is In vogue in number Of
important cities, and We doubt not has
its advantages. Numerous accidents
some serious. some slight-have occurred
here and elsewhere on account of tbs
efforts made by persons walking or
Striving to cross a street before an APP
preaching car reaches them. We are
told that statistics show that more street
car accidents occur at crossings than
anywhere else, and that most OF them are
the result of the reckless efforts OF per
sous to cross the street-car tracks a
few feet ahead of approaching cars. We
have also observed that transfers often
seem disposed TO drive over persons en-
gagged in getting on cars. Any one who
doubts that this is true may satisfy him
self on this point by siationing himself

nearly 30 many persons injured by troll

comparative exemption In this respect
can only be attributed TO the exceeding

Men Must Work
Women Must Weep

1t was a great poet who
pcnncd the above lines, bnt he
was very much mistaken. He
was wrong in saying that
women must weep. women were
never intended to pass their lives
in misery. Why should they
weep:
Women's Weaknesses are the
curse of womanllood. They have
wrung tears from many wife
and mother, What pathetic
story could be told of the suffer
ing caused by sick headaches,
backaches. misererable tired feel
ings and the thousand and one
painful symptoms which SO
many women endure. But it is
all unnecessary.
They Can Be Cured. Thousands
of happy women testify to this
fact. Ask them and they will
tell you how much they owe to
the benefit received from taking
Warmers Safe Cure, the best and
most reliable remedy for all all
ments of womankind. AS Il
means of relieving and curing
kidney, bladder. and female trou-
bles, and even the dread Bright's
disease itself, this great Safe
Cure has never been equalled.
a short trial will speedily prove
what it can do for weak, weary,
women who need help.

The Fredericksburg Free Lance calls
down" the Dispatch for saying that Gene
raj Malone was long member Of the
National Republican Committee. as well
as chairman Of the State committee. and
asserts that General Malone never held
for a full term Of four years a place on
the national committee" According TO the
Lance. Malone did not appear. at a
national Republican convention until 1884.
and was not elected member OF the
national committee until 1892. lie held
the position at the time Of his death.
We suppose The Lance is right; but We
must insist that, considering that Ma
hone was new convert to Republican
ISM we ought TO be pardoned for using
the word ''long" where we might have
better said three years"
