NO OBSTRUCTION.
The Democrats Urged to Place No
Obstacle in the Way Of the
RrnnhlIcan Policy.

Prosperity being the aim of the
democrats as we'll as the aim OF the
republicans, we shall be glad to see
it brought about by the republicans.
1t is Il matter above party, and SUI
perior to mere theories. We do not
believe that the republican pro-
gramme will restore prosperity, but
we shall be glad to be convinced that
our belief is erroneous and that our
belief has no stable basis. No intel
| ligent person desires to nurse error.
We had rather he convicted of hold
ing false doctrines than TO see the
people of the country remain any
longer in the depths of the appalling
business depression and confusion
that has spread over the country.
But the republicans cannot fairly
test their theories unless the demo
Gratis give them fair field and the
fullest opportunity. If discussion is
desirable there can be no objection
! to that, but when the time for action
comes (and it should come promptly
the democrats will serve the inter.
ests of the country us we'll as those of
their party by permitting the repub
licans, without resOrting TO parlia
mentary technicalities, to redeem the
pledges made in their platform with
as little delay as possible.
For the first time III its history, the
republican party is brought face to
face with purely business issues apart
from sentiment or sentimental preju-
dice. We confidently look forward
to its complete annihilation as the
result of the present crisis. And Yet,
ii it succeeds III restoring prosperity,
it will gather new life and strength,
and we shall not begrudge it these
benefits, for will we not have pros
periry?
The Constitution having demon
strated that the democrats will not
offer factious or obstructive opposi-
zion to the republican programme, it
is now in order for the leaders Of that
party TO get together and promptly
redeem their pledges. The people do
not propose to wait for four years for
prosperity. If the republican party
has not demonstrated its ability to
carry out its promises by 1888 the
democrats, with the Chicago plat
form III their hands, will so upon the
stump in the Congressional campaign
and wipe out the republican majority
in CongresS.-Atlanta Constitution

4 Prosperous Georgia Farmer.

w. It. NJ. Brown, of Dewy Rose,
Ga, is one of the most prosperous
farmers in the State. He has fifty
acres Of land, which four years ago
yielded one fourth of a bale of cot
ton to the acre. This year he raised
on the same land forty one bales of
cotton, which he sold for 81, 14S and
the seed for $24G; 500 bushels of corn
for $24G; 100 bushels of oats for $50,
and 100 bushels of sweet potatoes for
S25. Besides this he sells weekly 4
dozen eggs at 10 cents a dozen, 40
pounds of butter at Is cents pound,
and 80 gallons of buttermilk att cents
a gallon, making for the year $40 so.
This, added to the produce of his
land, makes an aggregate sum of
80, 1880. Mr. Brown employs three
men at an expense of $50 a month.
He spent 1910 for guano. incidentals
$50 and Sl15 for the keeping of three
mules, making the general expenses

SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1897.
Entered at the Postoffice at Accomac
@. H.. Va. as second-class matter

William Mckinley was inaugurated
on Thursday as the twenty. fifth
President of the United States, with
the usual ceremonies incident to such
an occasion and similar demonstra-
tions of Difference and respect by the
mighty throng in attendance, due to
the chief magistrate of this nation
and always accorded to him on the
day of his acceptance OF the high
position of responsibility and honor.
The ceremony, by which Mr.. Nc
kinley was indicted into Office, was
81 brief event and now an 'insub-
stantial pageant faded" APPLY as
scribes the parade and everything
incident to it, but brief and ileeting
as they We're, the destinies of this
nation in the short period of time
were committed to Mr.. Mckinley and
the party which elected him for the
next four years, and no one who
loves his country can be Indifferent
TO the good or the evil which are to
be the result of his acts as executive.
Whether he and his party will prove
worthy of that trust and give to US,
that prosperity which has been
promised us with such u mighty
flourish of trumpetS now concerns us
and every patriot, of course, what
ever his past political affiliations
will hope that they will be able 10
keep the pledge made 70 the people
Elected as Mr.. Mckinley was on the
financial issue, il cannot but be the
hope of every citizen, that the fnan-
cial legislation of the new admins
tration will rebound TO the interest
OF the people. Everybody nearly in
the South needs the good times
prophesied by Mr.. Mckinley and his
party, and cannot but hope that his
administration will be prosperous
one.

The sands in the hour glass of Mr..
Cleveland have at last run out, and
there are many democrats who have
been waiting them with interest who
are not now sorrowtul. Whether he
has deserved we'll of them or not is
question, Of course, which every demo
crat must decide for himself. But.
however, much some may love and
praise him, the fact cannot be con-
cealed, that the rank and file of his
party do not believe that he has been
true to them or their interests.
In our opinion no one has ever
been President with such a reckless
disregard for the wishes of the peo-
pie who elected him to office or
could have done more to disrupt the
party that placed him in the Presi-
Dental chair. That he has been the
creature of trusts and combines, in
stead of a friend of the people, dur
ing his term OF Office as many
believe, we cannot either af
firm or deny, more than to say
that many OF the acts of his
administration have indicated lean.
ing towards the people of moneyed
interests entirely at variance with
the promises made by him before he
was elected President. That he
leaves the Office of President repu-
dated by large majority of the
democrats of the country there seems
to be little doubt. Whether their
Judgment of him is correct or not,
one thing seems to be certain, that
the parting with him as President
gives no pain, even though his sue
cessor is a republican.
The Richmond Dispatch about sizes
up the situation and voices the sen
timents of the people in the follow
ing:
Few tears Of regret will be shed
because Of Mr.. Cleveland's retire
ment from office. Instead OF his four
years term putting the country into
clover" as the campaign song OF
1882 promised, all the forebodings OF
those who opposed his nomination
have been realized. He has sue
ceeded in doing incalculable injury
to his party, without beneftting the
country at large; and, whereas, he
came into power amid the shouts Of
many admirers, his going out brings
feeling of relief that cannot be
concealed.
Yes; the people rejoice at the close
of Mr. Cleveland's term, even though
it ushers in the Mckinley Admins
tration. Bad as Mr.. Mckinley and
Mr.. Hanna are likely to be in their
management of this country's affairs
it is inconceivable and unbelievable
that they can make worse mess
of them than Cleveland has made.
Grover, Grover,
No more years of Grover;
Out he goes, and true dem
Ocrats are glad it's over.

cover from the shock for long time af-
terward. Many attribute his life OF
bachelorhood to this cause. His first
European tour, in 1904, was a journey
undertaken for the benefit Of his health.
While in Rome he met the American
painter, Allison, and resolved to become
an artist. Happily this wild idea was
abandoned and he returned to New York.
He again took up law, the only prOfes-
sion Of which he knew anything, and
was admitted to the bar. He was lawyer
in name, however, as he was never
known to plead a case. Ashamed Of do
ing nothing Tin which he was INDUCED
by his brothers), he endeavored to learn
enough about commercial arithmetic
to help his brothers, but Of this he made
a failure. He joined them in bringing
out the periodical called "Salmagundi, "
meaning "a mixture" the object Of the
paper, like that OF the Spectator .(the
first periodical in England, IT'D, to re-
form the town"
After running twenty numbers, the

humorous vein to local papers under the
name Of "Johnathan Oldstyle.'

Breidenthal on Socialism,

In discussing the strength of the So
cialist element in this State, Mr.. Brei-
denthal said recently to reporter:
"I do not think it will be a sharply
defined issue in the next campaign. The
time Is not ripe for that yet. In fact,
| believe that socialism is not confined
by any means to the Populist party.
There are a great many Republican
Socialists, and there will be a great
many more. l, for one, would hate to see
it made an issue of the Populist party
at this time, for that would antagonize
a great many believers in the theory
outside the party lines.
"The part that socialism will play in
the next campaign is purely Of an edu-
cational nature. The people are think
ing; the people are reading, and when
the proper time comes they are going to
vote the way it will do the most good"
