A VOICE FROM THE SOUTHWEST.

The Abingdon Virginian says:
The representativcs-Steel Campbell.
ard Jennings-frOm this county are
pie, god to vote for honest elections. and
the people expect 10 see them place them
selves on record on this subject.
This is simply conhrmatory Of what we
said the other day that there is a strong
and determined sentiment in this State for
an honest election law, and. when the
Legislature meets next winter we believe
that an earnest effort viii BIZ made 10
secure such n law for Virginia.
We sincerely hope that the effort will
be successful We hope so not only I'm
the interest Of good morals and clean
politics. but in the interest Of the material
welfare Of the State. We believe that
Virginia could have no better advertise
ment at this time than the simple state
ment that q law had been enacted I'm good
faith guaranteeing to every qualified
voter the right TO vote his sentiments
and to have his ballot returned as cast.
This has been n bone Of contention in
Virginia for many years and the state
has suffered in consequence. The people
are tired OF It, and we believe that they
are determined that this reform shall be
accomplished.

We referred the other day to the in
creasing interest in fruit culture in Viz

the earnest attention Of the Virginia
farmer. for our statement that a good
apple orchard in some sections Of the
state is almost as valuable as a Florida
orange grove was not exaggerated.
In yerifcation OF this. we see it stated
that DIT. Emmett d. Boaz, Of Albemarle
county, recently shipped fifty-one bar

sold at public auction for t5l7C5. an ave

We have learned casually from n friend
that the article in The Times on Sun

persons as a reflection upon the SINGER
ity of the disclaimer by The Dispatch Of
the part imputed to it. We desire 20
say that this view IS utterly unfoundcd
and that Mr.. Cheeseman's statement
was taken by The Times as absolutely
conclusive, that the management Of Tho
Dispatch had no sort of connection what
ever with the business. We do not SEQ
how our remarks could be construed diff
ferently from this view, but as it appears
possible, we wish to emphasize the fact

VICTORY FOR EDuCATioN.

The Board OF Aldermen last night voted
in favor Of the extra appropriation 10
keep the public schools open for the fun
term. and in our opinion acted wisely and
to the best interests Of the city.
To close the schools before the regu-
lar term shall have expired is to dis
courage the teachers, demoraliZe the pu-
pills interrupt the course Of study which
has been mapped out for a complete ses-
sion. and seriously impair the work Of the
year. All this 10 saw nothing Of the
bad moral effect in this community. ana
the bad impression created abroad Of
shortening the school term for the lack Of
a few thousand dollars.
The Times contends for the great prin-
ciole OF popular education. II is no triiling
matter, for the education of the masses
hes at the basis Of our civilization. We
believe in the public school system, In
Nh efficient system. for the better the peo-
pie are educated. the better will be our
citizenship. and the better qualified will
the people be to deal with questions of
public concern. That is the principle for
which we contend.
But in taking that position we must not
be understood as censuring those mem
bers Of the city legislative body. who, In
the conscientious discharge Of their duty,
as they understand it, have thought 1t
proper. in the interest Of reform and
,,o,o,,.r 10 stand nv the letter Of the
resolve to compel each and every depart
ment OF city government TO keep its eX-
penditures safely within the limit Of It's
allotted apportionment Of funds. 1t Is
more important TO the city now to have
mr. honest. brave and economical admins
tration than Il is to have a week more
OF open schools but. in orr Judgment the
alternative is not presented, and we are
for having both.

THE PASSING OF HANNA.

Mark Hanna is having hard time oil
II In his fight for the Senatorship There
is an omen revolt against him In the
state Of Ohio. and no one who studies
the situation fails to see that Hannas
candidacy is responsible in great meas
ure for the falling of In the Republican
vote I'm Ohio. lie was a heavy load for
the party to carry.
He jumped into political prominence
with a bound as the manager OF Mcknf
ley's campaign last year, and his success
in nominating and clecting Mckinley
made him the party leader. II he had
then retired from the field of active
politics the members of his party would
have felt most kindly towards him. But
no sooner was Mckinley elected than he
came forward as candidate himself
fora position in the United States SEN
ate. and now ne claims sort of life
Icing lease on that Office as a reward for
his work Many honest Republicans re-
sent this sort OF audacity. They do not
regard Mr.. Hanna as a Statesman and
they object 10 putting a man Of his stripe
in a high position OF government upon
the sole plea CT reward for party SER
vice.
Hanna has not shown up well in this
contest. When managing McKinleys
campaign he declared that his only pur-
pose was 10 advance the political inter
ests OF his friend and put him in the
White House. lie made tho impression
upon the public that Il was a labor OF
love. but II that had been the case. he
would. as soon as the election was over,
have gone back TO private life. asking
no other reward for his service than the
affection Of his friend. the President. and
the approval OF his fellow Republicans.
But 1t seems now that Hanna used
Mckinley as stepping stone TO his
own political ambition. That he has
been a source OF worry and embarrass-
ment 10 the President during the past
several months is an open secret and IT
has been boldly asserted that nothing
would give Mckinley more pleasure or a
greater scnse OF relief than the retire
ment of his friend. Hanna. from the field
OF active politics.

lions now are that Hanna viii be re-
