LEARNING FROM AN ENEMY.

In view of the tremendous outcry which
has been raised by the sivertes about
| the tally-keepers Of the sound-money ad-
vocates and the use of money TO secure
fair and honest return of the will OF
the people. it is very interesting to see
what the national campaign leaders OF
the Chicago Populist party are advising
and Offering.
1t has been strenuously asserted by the
local leaders Of that party, that keeping
any tally of voters was unlawful, and
threats of arrest and imprisonment have
been made Of any one who dared to be
what Burns has called.

The tally-keeeping thus directed. ac-
companicd by the dreadful threat Of be
ing denounced as a bribe-taker and I'M
worthy to be called a citizen, is infinitely
worse than any plan to secure an honest
election proposed by tho sound money
advocates in Virginia. But that is not

UNWHIPPED OF JUSTICE.

proceedings that would result in any
benefit to those disfranchised.
To any one who reads the testimony
In the case, and who knows the excep-
tionally high character of the jury, II
will be apparent that there is vast
chasm between what the dictates OF
reason and of right suggest as proper
in this matter, and what the jury have
found to be the rights Of voter under
the law of Virginia. What has happen
ed to the voters at Shumakers precinct
may. under the law, as it has been de-
termlned in this trial. happen to any
other voter, and there IS no citizen Of
Virginia-howeve long he may have
lived III his community, and however
well he may be known-who may not
some day find out that one OF his dear
est rights has been taken from him
between suns. and have no redress.
The moral Of this whole case is that
the election laws of Virginia need thor
ough overhauling. That they have been
devised to give almost unlimited power
for the perversion and the denial Of
the right Of suffrage by those in charge
of the administration OF elections has
been demonstrated. As was said by a
machine leader since the Parker law
was enacted. the capacity Of the election
laws of Virginia for accomplishing re-
suits" is beyond belief.
This condition of things cannot last
or stand, and will not. The people OF
Virginia will protect themselves by APP
propriate legislation hereafter.
