EXPENSES OF OUR STATE.

In another column OF this issue we
print a letter from the editor of the
Southern Planter. In It he replies to
certain observations OF ours and under
takes TO show how. In due season. Vir-
glnia may meet her Increase OF obliga-
tions without increase OF taxation.
we invited the Planter to unfold It's

only have funds with which 20 meet an

his suggestions are practical and to what
extent they are likely to be adopted we
leave the reader to determine. Suffice
Il TO say now, that the most important
"cuts" that he urges could not be made
without changes in our State Constitu-
ton. and 10 put these into effect would
require five or six years time.
We agree with him, however, that Vir-
ginia can and Should reduce her eS-

BEWARE.

We warn the Democrats Of this State
not to be beguiled into the belief that
the Republicans are divided and indiffer-
ent TO the results of the coming cleo
ton. They are far from being so. The
Mckinley Administration has given a
quasi consent to the candidacy Of Nc
Caull. Roller, and Lyons in order that
the negro vote may be brought out to
help elect anti-Danlel legislative candi-
dates.
The enemy Is not asleep, but 'possum-
ing. and our information Is, that in most
parts of the state he will poll his full
vote on November I'd. So County and
City committees would be wise to be
watchful and active particularly where
opposition legislative candidates have
entered the field.
II the present apathy and overconfl-
dence continues with Democrats, We
much fear that we shall suffer surprise
and defeat in many quarters. Rouse up.
friends. and not only make sure OF a
fine working majority In each house OF
the Legislature. but give to Tyler, Echols,
and Montague the prestige of full and
enthusiastic party vote.

SCHOOL HISTORIES.

The American Book Company answers
some of our recent editorials on the his
tory question in a letter which We print
in another column to-day. 1t announces
that IT will not make any objection TO
the addition of other school histories 70

that this would clarity the history cor
troversy very much.

tracts next year. It will rest with the
State Board of Education to say whether
II will have Barnes's history or not and

1t is reported by the Interstate Com
merce Commission that the number Of
persons, passengers, employees, and
others killed and injured in one year on
an Of our railroads would constitute the
casualties Of a serious battle, that would
cause mourning throughout the country.
The railroad casualties, however, &C.
curing, as they do, singly or in small
groups. and being scattered over so much
territory and the entire year. do not at
tract much attention, except when they
result from some terrible railway acct
dent. The great majority Of casualties
occur among railroad employees, whose
number II Is stated. about equals the
number Of soldiers the United States had
under arms during the civil war. and il
is considered that by far the largest pro-
portion OF these casualties is due to the
carelessness of the victims, who take all
sorts OF chances In switching cars making
up trains. &c. At the same time. it is
regarded as beyond question that there
will be an immense decrease in the num-
Der OF employees killed and injured when
all freight trains shall have been equipped
with alT-brakes and improved coupiers.

Rv willis GAYLORD CIark.l

By Willis Gaylord Clark)
Solemn, yet beautiful to view,
Month of my heart, thou dawnest mere
With sad and faded leaves TO strew
Pale summers melancholy bier.
The moaning Of thy winds | hear,
AS the red sunset dies afar.
And bars OF purple clouds appear,
Obscuring every western star.
Thou solemn month / hear thy voice;
1t tells my soul of other days,
When but to live was TO rejoice,
When earth was lovely 10 my gaze.
OH visions bright: OH blessed hours;
Where are their living raptures now?
I ask my spirits weared powers
/ ask my pale and feyered brow.
Alas, for Time and Death and Care,
What gloom about our way they fling!
Like clouds in autumn's gusty air,
The burial pageant Of the spring.
The dreams that each successive year
Seemed bathed in hues Of brighter pride,
At last like withered leaves appear
And sleep in darkness. side by side.

Too Mrch Apathy.
Redford Democrat.O

So far the Democrats of Bedford have
shown little interest in the State cam
paign now I'm progress. The voters nave
been more or less concerned about who
shall represent them in the Legislature,
but otherwise they hardly know cam
paign is on. Past experience has demon
strated that the best interests of the
State demand that the Democrats should
remain I'm control of our State Govern
ment. but the average citizen does not
look beyond the present. and hence the
apathy that now prevails in Democratic
ranks in Bedford. The election is only
three weeks off. and unless active Work
is done the vote will be small and
Democratic victory uncertain. General
apathy is the most dangerous foe we have
10 encounter.
