Clifton Forge Review
A committee Of responsible citizens
Monday telegraphed Mr.. Fuller. wanting
10 arrange for an excursion train TO
Richmond on the 18th, to enable the peo-
pie to go there to hear the address Of
w. ]. Bryan. Mr.. Fuller would not an
swer. The request was repeated Thurs
day, and Mr. Fuller then replied that
the Chesapeake and Ohio did not find it
convenient to run excursion trains 10
Richmond TO the Bryan meeting
This shows the kind Of education"
corporations afford the people. When Mr..
Joseph Bryan, OF the Richmond Times.
and President Ingalls, OF the Chesapeake
and Ohio railway, arranged TO ''edu-
cate" the people In Clifton Forge how
they should vote on the money ques-
tion-ihat Is. for gold and Mckinley
trains were run from every section, and
rates put down TO nominal figures. But
when the other side of the question is
TO be heard, when the candidate OF the
Democratic party of the United States
arranges to address the people at the
capital of Virginia. II is not convenient
for the Chesapeake and Ohio road TO run
excursion trains for their accommodation
The people are not fools. and neither
are they slaves. and political tactics like
these will prove a boomerang TO any
party or corporation that adopts them.

Boiling and Threatening to Bolt.

CWarrenton Virginian)
The independent Democrats affect to
find treason in the following lines quoted
from letter written by Mr.. Bryan as
follows:
I'm June. 1895, was discussing the
silver question at Jackson. Miss, when
a gentleman in the audience asked me
II l would support gold-standard cam
didate on the god-standard platform, If
the Democratic convention should noml-
nate such candidate. | answered that,
while l did not believe that the Demo-
cratic party would take such action, l
would refuse TO support the nominee in
the event that il did select a gold
standard candidate on a gold-standard
platform. 1t was this statement TO which
Mr.. Carlisle referred when ne. a few
days later. called me a Populst, and re-
fused to debate the silver question with
me at Lexington, KY"
There is a great deal OF difference in
threatening TO do a thing and in doing
It, A man may be worried TO despera-
ton by an intolerable bore, and threaten
TO knock his head off, but so long as he
never does Il he will not be tried for
murder. Besides Mr.. Bryan's threat
10 bolt, II his language may be so con-
strued does not make the actual bolt
ing OF others any better. 1t is silly for
the gold men TO denounce MIR. Bryan for
a threat to bolt " he failed to have his
way, and then take comfort to them
selves for their actual boiling because
they could not have theirs.

NJ. T.. INGALLS, on A FAIR COUNT.

In the account given by the Richmond
Times of what was really Chesapeake
and Ohio employees mass-meeting, held
AT the Academy night before last. we
find President ingalls, reported as saying
I'm his speech that IF these same people
and newspapers who talk about coercion
would join with US TO see that every
man had free vote, and had his vote
counted. Bryan and population would be
put down.
so here we have President ingalls, In
veichlng against dishonest elections In
Virginia, and charging the supporters of
Bryan and Sewall with being "repudia-
tionists." Whatever may be Mr.. In
galls's personal history. II certainly does
not become any representative OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio road 70 talk con-
temptuously OF men or corporations who
scale down their debts The Chesapeake
and Ohio IS the successor. and. to some
extent. tho beneficiary. OF corporations
mat have operated that line and have
passed into '1nnocuous desuetude" with
out paying the average creditor even so
much as So cents on the dollar.
BOT. putting aside all such recollections
as these. We cannot but be amazed at
the presumption OF President ingalls, IN
coming down here from the North. as
the representative of great money
power, 20 preach fair elections 10 the
people o; Virginia. And his presumption
Is al the more astonishing since ne
claimed 10 be a Democrat until recently,
aud has always had more or less 70 do
with Virginia public affairs.
Yes, until recently. Mr.. ingalls, war
Democrat Untr recently. be was sup
posab.y IN sympathy with the Democratic
party OF Virginia. Never before has he
charged the Democrats OF Virginia with
eoerc.ng voters or making false counts.
IL = true that we remember him as having
been abnslpe Of us upon former oc-
e&sion. bD' We do not believe that he
eyer indulgsd ia any such serious asper-

Mr.. ingalls, then traced the history OF
the currency from 1873 up to 1898, when a
panic came. The Populists saw at this
time their hour TO destroy the credit of
the government, and but for Grover
Cleveland they would have destroyed the
credit of the country. The moment Mr.
Cleveland made his bond sale. business
commenced TO pick up, and there was
prosperity in the spring of 1895. Then
these Populists stood in the way of the
bond issues. They worked hard against
this policy, and business grew worse, and
will continue TO grow worse dnless we
have an honest currency. How long
would the Tredegar Iron Works prosper II
they wished TO pay off their debts with
80 cents on the dollar?" he asked.--Rich-
speech here
Mr.. ingalls, Is not candid. The most
active interference with the bond issues
came from the New York World, which
showed that the way the bonds were
being sold was a scandal and a shame
upon the country. Now, isn't this true?
Can President ingalls, deny II? Yet that
same World is not a Populist paper, but
a goldite paper, and is supporting the
decoy ticket.
And, In the matter OF 5o-cent dollar,
though Mr.. ingalls, may believe that free
coinage would depreciate the silver dol
lar to that extent. there are hundreds
who are equally as well versed in finance
as he is who hold a very different opin-
ion. Some Of these are found among
the opponents Of free silver Mr.. In
gals. however. considers 1t as settled
that cur silver dollar would be 5O-cent
dollar. We have no such fear. and never
had. Quite possibly. there may be some
depreciation. until II Is known that the
task our government has undertaken is
not beyond It's strength; but in no event
do we think It likely that Mr.. Ingalls's
view win prove to be true. or anything
like true.

The action of Judge Simonton. In the
first place, and that Of Judge Speer, IN
the second place. with respect TO the war
of rates between the southern railroads,
has gone far to convince the public that
the utterance OF the Chicago convention
on the subject Of government by injunc-
ton" was timely. The United States
Court judges are too liberal with their
injunctions. In the case under considera-
ton we do not undertake to say
whether Simonton or Speer is right. but
it seems unlikely that both can be- And,
in matters of such gravity, it would seem
that IL would be better that the great
questions at issue should be settled in
a more regular, formal, and deliberate
manner than is afforded by the summary
process of injunction. At any rate.
newspaper readers cannot fail TO have
observed that since the railroad case got
before the United States judges much less
is said than formerly by the Mckinley
ties about that plank in our platform
which opposes government by injunction.

For the sweet simplicity of sleek heads

padour is revived 1t is fluffy pompa-
Gour, and long drawn out. 1t is a pompa-
dour, soft and full, which reaches around
TO the crown of the head, where the coil

be produced unless milady's crown Of glory
Is plentiful and of the soft, dry quality
which lends itself to the crinkling persua-

Is certain, as these frames are composed of

The Ally England weuld Choose.

From the London Spectator.
The English would prefer a permanent
alliance with the United States to any
other that could be suggested, and many of
the wisest among them believe that such
an alliance is among the certainties of the
future The two countries have no con-
nictfng interests: they are not divided eth
er by race, religion, or political ideals, and
they have a profound reliance on each
others strength. endurance and fidelity.
The time, however, is not ripe. The two
nations have few common interests, they
ere divided by traditional antipa thies
which produce distrust, and one of them
Sislikes and repudiates the idea of being
involved IN European complications. Meth
er the antipathies nor the isolation of the
Union will last, America growing fast out
OF her seclusion; but for the present she
could offer us nothing except neutrality,
ana with that We must perferce remain
ccntented. That Is enough to secure our
hearty good will; but for working alliance
available for the next few years, we shall
Dc compelled to turn elsewhere; that is, In
practice, either to Russia or France or, 1t
may even chance, TO both.
