Regrets its Bargain.

The New York World, which did ali

elect Major Mckinley, seems to have
discovered that there is danger
ahead in the formation of Il new
tariff which will be burdenSome to
the country. The World ought to
have known that such Il result was
to be expected. 1t probably get
though what it wanted as it will
not have to bear the burden but the

1T is proposed to restore the bar
barous and cruel tax on wool, 10 in
crease the TAX on woolenS, to raise
the rates on crockery and glass, to
reimpose duties on lumber, eggs,
potatoes, onions, cabbages and hay,
but to continue the exemption OF
wealth in every form.
In 1866 the internal taxes col
lected on manufactures, aside from
whiskey, beer and tobacco agSre
gated $122, 100000. They were all
repealed. =,
"Other taxes collected from wealth
in that year were From incomes,

Uncle Sam Wants a County.

A movement is on foot in Wash
ington looking to having Virginia
retrocede Alexandria county to the
United States Government, but it is
hardly probable that it will amount
to anything, though it may assume a
political phase.
When the national capital was
established, and Washington was
founded, both Virginia and Mary
land coded portions of their territory
to the General Government for the
site. The Maryland grant was ac-
copied, and the Virginia land, which
embraced the county of Alexandria,
was coded back to the Common
wealth. The territory was altogether
ten miles square. 1t is believed that
the Federal Government wishes to
get back that territory so as to put
it under extensive police regulations,
and break up entirely the outrageous
violations OF law in the way Of
gambling, etc, which have long made
Alexandria county famous.
1t is not believed that the State
Legislature will grant any of the
States territory to other Powers
now, and The Governor, in an inter
view says that he would oppose the
movement fit developed any definite
form.
The object of the movement WAS
discussed by the Governor, after
which he said: The people in the
district should remember that nearly
all the crook sand criminals in AleXan-
dria county, who carry on their
nefarious business there, came from
the Washington side. There is equal
ly as much defilement going on on
the Maryland side. If they want to
stop the violations of law going on
there, they should stop sending their
lawless people over to the Virginia
side l have given great deal of
my time and labor to the breaking
up of the lawlessness in Alexandria
county, and think the condition Of
things up there is greatly improved.
though of course, there is some little
lawlessness being carried on in a
clandestine way. | am opposed to
any territory from Virginia being
given away. "-Richmond Dispatch.
Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1896-12-26

Old Virginia, despoiled as she has
been of her territory in the past, is
to be asked to cede to the District
of Columbia portion of Alexandria
county, and it is proposed if she will
not consent to it, to take it without
her consent, if possible. No vir-
ginian, would of course, entertain
seriously the proposition for a mo-
ment and men learned in the law
say, that if an effort is made to test
the constitutionality of the act of 1916
by which the land was conveyed tc
Virginia, which is threatened, and
thus to secure it, that there need be
no fear of decision adverse to the
State.

What is Democracy /?

A few days after the election last
November, in view of the claims
being made by the Palmerites that
they were the real democrats, letters
were sent by the Richmond State to
a number of the leading democrats
of the country asking from each one
an expression of individual opinion
as to what constituted democracy
and why he was democrat. Several
of these answers publishedsin late
issue of the State are given below:
In his answer, the Hon. w. j.
Bryan says:
l have not time to answer your
questions at length. In a broad
sense, democracy is a. government
in which the people rule and a
democrat is one who believes III sucn
Il government. In Il party sense,
democracy is defined by the Chicago
platform, and the person who sup
ports the party and its platformj can
call himself Il. democrat. SThe plat
form was entirely satisfactory TO. me.
In my Judgment it. applied = demo
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES present condl-
lions.
If a minority has a right to give Il
party definition OF democracy, then
there may be as many different def
nitions of democracy as there are
persons who desire TO wear the name.
The Hon r. P. Bland, of Missouri,
writes as follows:
A democrat is one who supports the
platform and votes for the nominees
of the democratic party. | am q
democrat because that party i'll its
platform of principles as announced
from time to time, and especially at
the last national convention at
Chicago, comes nearest my idea oil a
government "of the people, by the
people, and for the people than any
other political organization now en-
listing.
Governor Stone, of Missouri, replies
as follows:
l regard all those as Democrats who
