TORN UP STREETS,
And Some of the Disasters to Life
which They HIVE Occasfoned.

For months the streets OF New YORK
have been reeking with poisonous odors,
and this is also true OF most cities tn
America These deadly gases have come
from the exposed sewer pipes. gas pipes,
and from the turned-up soil saturated
with malaria Every breath drawn has
carried some of these death germs into
the body.
The important question to US all -

having contracted 1t, how it can be cured.

clans always prescribe a stlmulanL ivr

and pure stimuants alone can dc IL.
But unless they are pure, instead Of as

GENERAL WALK Err.

OF the ex-Confederates who are mem
bers Of the Republican party in Virginia.
General James A. Walker held the hign-
est army rank. And since Colonel Lamb
charged the Brady-Agnew faction WITH
neglecting to ortrust their leadership to
men who were Confederates, it has been
a matter of great interest to know
whether the General would side with the
Brady or the Lamb wing of the party.
letter just received from him states
that it is his purpose to support the
Lynchburg ticket
This is undoubtedly an accession OF
great Importance to the Lamb party. 1t
indicates. among other things, that the
masses Of the Republicans of this State
will be at the polls on November I'd to
vote for their nominees as usual.
Brady, Allen, Agnew, Waddill, and Bow
den have done all that they could to
crush this movement, but have signally
failed. though they have had the help of
Mark Hanna. We shouldn't wonder II
President Mckinley himself did not now
consider it worth his while TO give the
matter serious attention.

MUNICIPAL PRIMARIES.

| The next great primary OF our party
! in Richmond will be held for the purpose
Of nominating a municipal ticket. This
primary will take place seven or eight
months hence. and II we wish our speciai
law amended so as to meet all of the de-
mands OF that contest we shall have 10
Amply TO the Legislature for action at It's
session, which is to begin in December
next.
In our judgment the Richmond primary
election law should be so changed as 20
put all of our primaries under its protec-
ton. Whenever any wrong is done at any
primary. that wrong-doing should be pun
isbed Just as II IL had been done at
regular election. The present law is loose
and uncertain, and does not require all
primaries TO be held under 1t.
Again, it would be well TO have the
method Of conducting our primaries pre-
scribed In our law, and. We think, mat
method ought 10 conform as nearly as
practicable to the method adopted for
regular elections. 1t IS better for the
voter that II should be so; ii is better for
the judges and clerks Of election that 1t
should be SO. Most of the men who con-
duct our primary elections also conduct
our regular elections. and are, therefore,
skilled in the latter method.
Very fortunately, there has been little
trouble at our Richmond primaries, but
we cannot expect our run of luck to con-
tinue forever. We would. therefore. bet
ter surround our primaries with all the
safeguards that other large cities have
found desirable TO have. And so our
City Democratic Committee. realizing the
Importance of revising the law. has APP
pointed a subcommittee to consider the
subject. Thus the matter is open for
discussion. And it would seem TO be OF
the utmost concern to our party that we
should have all of our primaries con-
Quoted under the aegis of the law. and |
that this law should correspond, as far
as may be, to the general law which !
governs the regular elections.
How does that idea strike the average |
citizen who is interested in city politics?

THE noyAL WORM TURNS.

We are now having some spicy personal
| aftermath OF the 0raeco-Turkish war. III
| will be remembered that the followers OF
| Rail- have been persistent In their efforts
| TO make the Crown Prince responsible
for all the disasters to the Greek arms.
Time and again they have charged him
with utter incapacity, and even with
cowardlce, and from the background OF
their attacks upon the Prince. General
smolensk has been thrown out as the
only Greek soldier and hero.
At last, however, the royal worm has
turned and Is singing his enemies and
critics Constantine now makes a state
ment, in which he declares that when he
saw that his country was In danger or
war with Turkey. he cautioned the War
Department repeatedly that the army
was totally unprepared to enter on a
campaign. The infantry. he says, was
armed with the condemned Gras rifle,
which the French Government had sold
to Greece at s. apiece. The cartridges
were more than sixteen years old, ana
to fire at 800 yards it was necessary to
raise the sight to 800, so inferior was the
powder. The cavalry was non-existent.
The artillery was armed with an inef-
fective and obsolete weapon, and the
cadre of officers was deplorably weak. In
many companies numbering 400 men there
was but one officer and he a worthy busi-
ness-man. ignorant Of the science OF war.
His Qhe Crown Prince's) own chief of
staff was an Athenian architect, but not
a trained soldier and his divisional com
manders never had handled a brigade or
his regimental leaders a company.
Moreover, Constantine afiirms that from
generals to privates the Greeks had no
idea of discipline. each man doing as he
pleased, and he charges that in this re-
spect Smolensk was the chief offender.
To be specific he charges that at the |
battle of Domoskos Smoensk, who COM
manded 1900 fresh men, refused to obey |
his (Constantne's) order to come to his |
support when, had the order been obeyed. |
the tide, as is admitted by foreign mill
tary critics, would have been turned !
against the Turks. He also claims that
Smolensk's Wanted victory at Velestino
was nothing more than an outpost en-
gagement
Unless the Crown Prince has overstated
his side of the case, and 1t is said That
foreign officers attached to both armies
bear testimony that he has not the won
der is that the Turks did not make still
shorter work Of the Greeks.

HANNA's MODERN VIRGINIA.

At the annual meeting of the Mar
quette Club in Chicago Saturday night
Mark Hanna spoke of Ohio as the
modern Virginia in that she has fur
nished so many presidents to the nation
1t Is not recorded, however, that Mark
stated as he might have done that the
modern Virginia" has failed i'm one
great duty as a mother Of presidents
that was strikingiy illustrated in the
presidential motherhood Of ancient Vir-
ginia-that of training the presidents
she has furnished TO the nation in the
political way they should go. Nor
does 1t seem that Mark called attention
TO the fact that the modern Virginia"
unlike the ancient Virginia, appears
also to have signally failed to impress
upon the offspring she has reared for the
presidential office the advisability of
keeping out Of bad company.
We very much fear that the short
comings in respect of these matters Of
Hanna's modern Virginia" place her
decidedly in the category of the very
advanced new woman.

HOgc TyIer's Luck.
CRoanoke Tlmes.)


A striking example Of luck Is fur
nishcd in the case Of Hon. j. Hoge Ty-
ler who. though for years thwarted in
a worthy ambition to be Governor Of
the great State Of Virginia. at last found
in all the preliminary steps towards Sc
curing the Democratic nomination every
thing happening just as he desired, I'M
til, when the convention met in this
city, the honor which he had hitherto
sought i'm vain was accorded him unanl-
mously amid the plaudits of thousands
Of admiring friends. Nor has the good
fortune which made him the Democratic
nominee for Governor ceased to shower
her benefits upon him and the ticket
Of which he is the head AS time goes
on all chances of opposition have been
frittered away until now. as If In Gull
mination of Major Tylers luck, as far
as the gubernatorial office is concerned,
the Republicans, instead of presenting
a solid front 10 the Democratic phalanx,
are hopelessly divided into two factions.
one of these factions has. it is true,
recently nominated a ticket; but as the
elements of cohesion are wholly lacking
among the Republicans Of this State as
a whole. and as the ticket nominated by
the Democrats will receive practically
the unanimous vote Of the party, it's
majority may reach $4,000.
The effect of the nominations made by
the Republicans at Lynchburg will be to
increase the activity of the Democrats
while the serious division in the ranks
Of the former will most certainly tend
to lessen the interest Of the rank and file
of the Republican voters in the result.
Whether Major Tyler's extraordinary
tpt,t, ~ 10 oly ho
him to the United States Senate as Mr..
successor remains to be seen;
but in view of what has already hap
pened. and the large majority he is
sure to receive i'm the vote for Cover
nor, it is not at all improbable that he
may be the first Governor Of Virginia
SO honored for years.
