A case against Lille Buford, a negro
woman was called. and there arose in
the audience a negro youth who bore

The youth was the witness against the

list party in North Carolina, edited by
Senator Marion Butler. 1t IS q typical
Populist TRADE against gold bug. railroad
monopolies and trusts, the central idea
being that the Democratic party has de-
termined to abandon the free silver issue
and all advocates Of free silver are put
on their guard.
The article is ingenious and should be
studied well By those who have the inter-
est OF the Democratic party at heart 1t

IET TIE FLAG Ely.

Stewart, Of Portsmouth, and passed by
the Grand Camp. providing that the His
tory Committee be instructed to consider
tho advisability OF maturing a plan 10
have the Virginia State flag raised on
the public school buildings Of the State,
has our hearty approval We believe in
States rights and in the individuality
and separate autonomy Of the States as
provided for in the Constitution. We be-
lieve that that doctrine should be i'm
pressed by object lessons upon the minds
Of the rising generation. and we know of
no better object lesson than the flying
Of a Virginia rag over the virginia school,
houses In which the children are instruct
ed.
There is a strong and growing senu-
ment in this country in favor OF power
full centralized government, and in our
opinion 1t is a dangerous doctrine that
should be combatted in every possible
way. Let us teach the children Of the
State that Virginia existed before the
Union was formed, and that in going
into the Union this old Commonwealth
conceded to the Federal Government only
such powers ana functions as should be
necessary to the protection Of the States,
but yielded nothing that might limit or
compromise her glory and prestige and
independence as a sovereign State. The
public schools are a State institution and
in exemplhcatlon Of the States SOW
ereignty, and t is most appropriate that
the nag Of Virginia should be displayed
over every school building in witness of
that fact.
