There is demand for increased appro-
priatiens for the construction of naval
vessels, for providing coast defences, for
deepening rivers and harbors and for
doing lot Of other desirable things. At
the same time there is strong oppo-
sition from the administration and from
the Democratic members of Congress to
increasing the revenues. What the pres
ent emergency needs is some one who
can re-work the miracle of the widow
cruise, can make a revenue already in
sufficient for the expenses of the govern
ment hold out for the building of naval
vessels and the construction of an elabo-
rate system Of coast defences, besides pay
ing for the ordinary expenses Of the govern
ment. We know Of no way by which the
problem can be solved except perhaps by
inducing the chaplain of the House to
Use his influence as he has been very
fond Of doing.

The excuse that the Southern whites
have always offered for suppressing the
negro vote is that it was necessary TIC
promote good government. Let the ne
groes vote, they said, and ignorant adyen-
tuners would get the offices and a con-
dition would be created intolerabls to all
respectable citizens. 1t is generally ad-
mitted that in no Southern State has
the suppression of the colored vote been
more thorough and complete than in
South Carolina. The government there
Is as essentially white mans govern
mont as it was before the negro was en-
franchlsed. Neither in the sele ction of
state officers or national offiee does the
negro participate. Nevertheless we find
at the head of the state government q
man who is the mere tool of another
man, the latter thoroughly disreputable
we find in the Senate, representing the
state, man who within week has won
national distinction as blackguard, and
in the House another man who stands
up and declares that he believes seces-
sion was justifable and that he would
favor it again under circumstances SINH
lar to those in which it actually took
place. Evidently something besides the
black vote must be suppressed in South
Carolina before it Will get that good gov.
ernment which it processes to desire.

When we wrote our editorial paragraph
OF Saturday morning relating to the can
didates in Ward 3, we had reason to be-
iieve that Mr.. Kent had withdrawn from
the aldermanio contest, as we'll as Mr..
Nickerson. Subsequently Mr.. Kent seems
TO have reconsidered his decision and
determined to iun. There are therefore
three candidates for alderman in that
ward. Mr.. Zenas Thompson, Mr..
James C.Kent and Mr.. Edgar E. Rounds.
There is condition in this ward that
demands the presence of every respect-
sable Republican voter in the ward at the
caucus Thursday night and we cannot
urge them too strongly to turn out.

II. Curtis's i'm the Chicago Record
The foregoing dispatch 10 q Chicago
paper, intended TO encourage the bciles
that Virginia will cast her electoral vote
for William Mckinley. discloses plan or
lawless evasion and criminal desperation
that ought to fortify every self-respectins
Vlrginian for a mans part at the election
gramme proposed for Virginia that was
enacted by Madison Wells and the uns
speakable scoundrels who stole the elee-
tora votes OF Louisiana and Florida fo1
Rutherford b. Hayes in 1876.
The Australian ballot system was enc
grated upon the election laws OF Nir>
ginia to shield dependent voters from the
vindictive punishment which partisan
prejudice might infiict. This system was
adopted to prevent coercion and intimida-
ton OF voters by their employers, and par
ticularly by corporations. But here II ~
proposed 10 have a dual election-one IN
der the supervision OF sworn officers OF
the State; the other under the espionage
Of hired spoilers. And II Is gravely u.s.
serted that IL the poll returned by thu
sworn election officers of this Common
wealth does not conform TO the partisan
poll taken by the spies set over them by
the Mckinley Aid Society, the Governor
of Virginia will reject the official count
OF the election and certify the poll mada
by the spies.
There is the programme In It's naked,
ness: a hideous travesty OF decency and
fsirness-a palpable intrigue for either
stealing the electoral vote OF Virginia for
Mckinley or so beclouding Bryan's title
TO il as to make the presidency depend
upon another such Infamous decision a.
that which deprived Mir. Tilden OF tho
scat to which the people had elected him'
But, thank God, Virginia Is not Ike

wealth is not beset by Federal bayonets-
We do not have to countenance such y
crime as that proposed in order 10 gec

domination. And oe-betide the men who
undertake I'm advance TO impeach the
sovereign will or the people and 10 set
up a spurious poll against the lawfut

WASHINGTON, October 22.-The third
and final session OF the Board OF Direct
ors Of the Catholic University OF America
this morning was very brief. and the only
business transacted was that OF changing
the annual meeting-day from the Wednes-
day after Easter. which In practice had
been found generally inconvenient. 10 tho
second Wednesday Of october. in order
to coincide with the annual meeting OF
Archbishops
The board also issued the following
statement, before adjourning:
THE board wishes it to be UNDERSTOOD
by the public that there are absolutely no
factions or sectional differences amongst
the members. The election of the candl-
dates for the rectorship was unanimous.
To speak of the triumph OF this or that
party. OF conservatism or liberalism. ma
tionalism or Americanism, Is to misrepre-
sent the whole situation. All the members
OF the board are equally American IN
spirit They have but one thought, and
that is the welfare Of the University. and
it's steady progress toward the highest
Catholic education"

O'FERRALLs PAST.
His Endorsement of Populism In
1890

His Endorsement OF fopuiism IN
1890.
duray Weekly Union)
Just now. when Governor OFerrall has
severely scored his critics through
lengthy article in the Richmond Times,
in which hs says that in 1928, and 1894
he severely denounced Populism, II may
be interesting 10 many who now diifer
with Governor O'Ferrall TO know that IN
1880 he endorsed a set OF resolutions for
the Farmers Alliance OF this county.
which embodied far more OF the Populist
principles than the Chicago platform does
to-day. We herewith append five OF the
eleven resolutions presented by Mr.. Rit-
tenhouse on behalf OF the Farmers ALI
ance of this county. and also copy or
the endorsement written and signed by
Mr.. OFerrall then a candidate for Con-
gress from this Ohe SEVENTH district on
the Democratic ticket. Below are the
resolutions. which we wish TO remind the
Colonel that he endorsed, but now de-
nounces as being too Populistic for MIN:
>. Resolved. That we demand or our
representative that they put forth their
best efforts to secure the free and I'M
limited coinage OF silver.
3 Resolved That we are i'm favor OF
the repeal Of the national-bank act
g. Resolved, mat we idNoI tue SONtil
ment control or ownership or rairoads
and telegraph lines.
Z. Resolved. That we demand that the
election OF United States senators be by
a direct vote OF tho people.
10 Resolved. That We demand the en-
actment of some legislation that will
create a flexible currency-the Sub-Trea-
sury plan, OF something better.
II. Resolved. That We cannot support
for Office any candidate who will not
pledge himself 10 the support of these
resolutions and the platform OF the
State and National Farmers Alliance and
Industrial Union.
Adopted by Page County Alliance at
the October meeting. in 1880.
O'Ferralrs endorsement:
I endorse the resolutions recently SUBJ
mitted to me by Mr.. Rittenhouse on be-
half Of the Page County Alliance. They
are sound I'm principle and perfectly con-
sistent with my. political record. The
Alliance is authorized 10 publish this en-
dorsement, II IL deems proper

The above is n true copy OF the resolu-
lions and endorsement, both Of which are
filed with the papers Of Page County

GALA large crowd OF men. women.
and children assembled this afternoon AT
MELVILLE church. about six miles from
this place. to hear the issues OF the cam
paign discussed and partake OF an oyster
supper. which had been prepared by the
ladies of the church. The orators of the
occasion were: r. ". Mann, Jr, OF Pc
tereburg; Colonel J. HasSlns Hobson, or
Powhatan. and Hon. Miles NJ. Martin, OF
Richmond city. The speakers were IN
troduceG h a very happy manner by
Chairman King. who presided over the
meeting. Mr.. Mann opened in speech
of forty minutes. which would have done
credit TO an older head. His remarks
were both logical and eloquent. and were
frequently interrupted by applause.
Colonel Hobsons speech was a strong
plea in behalf of Bryan. Sewall and Epes.
He handled the silver question in most
pleasing and convincing manner. Mr..
Martin closed in speech OF one hour
and a quarter. which captivated his hear
ers.
colonel Hobsons visit to Sussex has
added strength TO our ticket.
