contents. and profit by your observations.
Above all, be not deceived by the out
givings Of the apparitions regarding the
situation In. the Republican councils
II is true that there is something or
split IN the Republican ranks In Vir-
GINA just at present. But what does IL
amount to? After. IL not before, the meet
ing of the Republican State Convention at
Staunton both wings of the party VIII De
found Topping together, and ready TO
hover all the soreheads and malcontents
and boilers in the Commonwealth. The
fact Is apparent, and ought to be recog-
nized by every Democrat, that the fires OF
hope are now burning more intensely
under the Republican caldron than for
long time before, and 1t follows that I'M
usual efforts will be made to harmonic
all differences existing in the party. and
perfect Its organization. These steps VIII
be taken not merely in view of the ap-
preaching presidential campaign. In the
fall we viii also elect members of Con-
gress, and 1t is not a far cry from that
contest to the next Virginia legislative
and gubernatorial election.
And why this Republican hopefulness
and purpose TO pursue so vigorously the
work of party organization? We might
as well adllit that one reason Is the diff
ference of opinion in the Democratic
party touching the currency question. 1t
IL unquestionable that the Republicans
expect this issue to produce demoraliza-

went to Europe In March, 1851 as one OF
the commissioners OF the Confederate

THE TRUE DOCTRINE.

We shall be very much surprised II the
Baltimore Sun and those Democrats who
helped to overthrow the Democratic party
In Maryland and put the Republican
party In power in that State do not regret
their action before another State election.
They said they wanted the State and city
government reformed, and they gave the
job OF doing the reforming to the Repub-
licans. They have already found out that
the Republicans are not reformers. and
that, under their rule, there is likely to
be much worse state of affairs than that
Of (which they complained when the
Democrats were IN power. There was
never party hungrier for the spells Of
ONCE than the Republican party and
never q party that was so extravagant
in the use OF the money contributed for
public uses by taxpayers.
Some OF the recent appointments In
Maryland show that in order to satisfy
the negro voters OF their party and re-
tain their allegiance the Republicans are
putting negroes In positions formerly oc-
cupied by white men. The appointment
recently OF a negro TO school commits
rionership shows what may be expected
In Maryland from that party. This negro
school commissioner Ia making himself
obnoxious by advocating mixed schools

preached. All the reform tina; is needed
In any county. city. or State in the South
may be accomplished within the Demo-
cratic lines. To call In our political enc
mics 10 settle our family quarrels would
Be scarcely more justiflable than was the
course OF the British in putting the toma-
hawk into the hands OF the remorseless
Indian to bring to terms our patriot

WatfersOn Making Money.
Chicago Times-Herald.)

Henry Watterson has worked very
hard lecturing for the last two or three
years, and the result is, they tell me.
that he has $4,000 In bank to the credit
OF his private account. This sum he
expects to increase by 5000 before the
middle OF April when he will sail for
Europe, taking his family with him. and
stay there year or more. While abroad
he will write a biography Of Abraham
Lincoln. which will be his magnum
opus.
Everybody will rejoice in Watterson's
success, for ne Is the best fellow that
ever lived. Only I'm late years has he
been a money-saver; II he had begun
earlier he would be a rich man. AS 1t
10. with salary OF $1,000 year from his
great newspaper and a snug bank ac-
count, the wolf will never cross his
threshold. He Is well qualified to write
the biography of Lincoln. for, although
on the opposite side in the civil
war. he knew Lincoln as the friend
OF his father in boyhood, and has studied
his character thoroughly and sympatheti-
cally.
Moreover, Watterson has had more
than anybody else to do with bringing
the South to see the greatness of Lin
coins character. Depend upon 1t he will
write a book that will live.

A GOOD BANKING BILL.

The House of Representatives Com
mittee on Banking and Currency has
decided to report favorably to the House
the bill introduced by Mr.. johnson, OF
Indiana, to permit national banks to
issue notes to the full amount Of the
par value of the bonds deposited by them
In the Treasury as security for their
issue of notes.
This is the meritorious financial bill
of which we spoke several days ago.
There is no reason why it should not be-
come a law. AS to that matter, 1t would
be perfectly safe for Congress to au'
thorize the national banks to issue cir
culating notes to twice the amount In
value of the bonds deposited by them tc
secure their circulation. This would be
q short, safe, sharp. and decisive man
ner of drowning the clamor now heard
in so many places, and from so many
men. about the contraction OF the paper
currency of the country.

IL not at all modest in its demands and

"But, as a matter of fact, large ma
jority of the members OF the New

publicans, and have been active in their
efforts against the Democratic party. and
its candidates. as they are now in favor
of the British gold standard"
1--WE heartily agree with the chamber
that the time for doubtful phrasing and
party lodging is past. AT the same tifne
we are thoroughly of the opinion that In
so candidly indorsing the gold standard
the New York Chamber Of Commerce
has entered upon an adventure that Is
sure to result disastrously to its hopes
and expectations"
Here is food for reflection. A gold-bug
faction would rule out of the Democratic
party all Democrats who do not concur
with them in their financial views. whilst
sllverite faction would rule out Of the
Democratic party all Democrats who do
not concur with them in their financial

Nothing. will prevent the loss OF our
trade but the efforts Of such associations
as this"
Natural facilities" supplemented by
enterprise, are what make city great
In commerce or manufactures or in both.
1t Is strange that the merchants Of Bal
timore should have been so lacking In
information on this subject that Mayor
Hooper deemed II expedient to surprise
them by mentioning some OF the natural
and acquired advantages OF Newport
News. The Baltimore American COM
mends the Mayors admonitory remarks,
and adds that he should have said that
the conditions mentioned by the Mayor
pointed Enthusiastically to the ship canal"
That, 1t says, Is what Baltimore must
have to save the commerce of the Chesa-
peake. The American frankly admits
that "a great city Is building south OF

what Baltimore has lost by neglecting
the ship canal. But the American does
not despair. Much, but not all, has been
lost. Hope remains-the hope that the
ship canal will be built and that, In addi-
ton to Its effect on the Chesapeake trade,
1t Will give Baltimore an increased share
or the trade with Europe and Asia. The
new Baltimore and Ohio is urged by our
Baltimore contemporary to take a large
interest In this project.
The up-building influence OF such mat
ural facilities" as Newport News pos
sesses are not easily neutralized or or
set by artificial waterways. IL Is posi-
bie-indeed. we think 1t quite practicable
Tor Baltimore to largely increase her
trade. both foreign and domestic. by
building a ship canal But that Is an en-
terprise that calls for a large expendi-
ture. 1t means either tolls or tonnage or
loss or interest on cost of construction
IL means also large expenditure every
year for maintenance. Nature has be-
slowed on Newport News all that and
much more than Baltimore can get in the
way or shipping facilities by building a
canal. Mayor Hooper does not eyag-
gerate when he says we've got to hustle
or they'll lick u.s." Baltimore is an old.
great, and wealthy city. while New
port News Is but an infant. The compe-
tition Is not expected to be ruinous to
the former, but those natural facilities"
OF which Mayor Hooper speaks are bound
to exert great influence not only en- the
future OF Baltimore. but on the export
trade OF New York, Boston, and Phila-
delphia.

Ohio, who now seems foremost in
the ranks of the Republican candidates
for the presidency. was born in Ohio
In 1913. and entered the Union army
as private, but by successive promotions
rose to the brevet rank of major. He
was a captain on the staff Of General
Crook when that crook-officer, we should

Tennessee and Virginia railroad. and un-
successfully attacked Lynchburg. He
studied law after he came out OF the

then he became Governor Of Ohio. Now,
he wants to be President, an ambition
that Is discountenanced by W. b. ALI

Democratic party. 1t would suit us well
enough for him to be nominated-as the

but we hope that our own nominee will
win the race. Mckinley is running on
