FARMERS. ACT.

Those who have given the matter
close consideration say that the
greatest burden of an increase of the
tax on manufactured tobacco would
fall upon the tobacco farmers.
Manufacturers and dealers have
already taken action in opposition
to the proposed increase and the
farmers should not remain silent.
The most available and probably
the most effective manner in which
they may enter their protest Ii by
writing letters to their Senators and
Representatives in Congress. This
should be done at once. There is no
time for delay. II Senator Pritchard
or any member OF Congress from
North Carolina shall vote for the in
creased tax, lee them not be in a
position to say that they did rot

falsified yesterday when Judge Brad.
ley ordered the acquittal of John e.
Searles of the charge of contempt.
1t has been judicially established now
that Messrs. Havemeyer and Sear.es
do not hold the Senate in contempt.
These are the only two American
citizens OF whom this can be said.
The acquittal of Mr.. Searles ought
TO spur the Senate to push the in

On account of the probability that
the States income will not be suffi-
Gent to meet all the special appro-
priations made by the last Legisla-
ture, there has been some apprehen-
sion that the effect of the bonus pro-
vided for such townships as shall
vote, in August, for supplementary
school tax would be lost to an APP
preciable extent. The matter has
been set at rest, however, by the
adoption of the following resolution
by the State Board of Education:
"That in case the general State fund
shall not be sufficient TO meet the
payment OF the $50, 900 appropri-
ated by the Public School Law of
1897, the Board Of Education
authorizes loan from the School
fund to the general State fund sufii-
Gent TO meet such appropriation or
so much Of il as may be called for.

Election of Senators.

haftIOTu OOuTdIt.
In view OF the impracticability of
accomplishing the popular election
of Senators by an amendment of the
Constitution, it would be well for all
parties, and especially the majority
party of each State, to submit the
claims of the various candidates for
United States Senator to direct
vote at the primary elections. 1t
would not only relieve the Legisla-
ture of many discreditable contests,
but it would be carrying out the chief
theory of popular government, and
the many scandals which attend
Senatorial elections would be avoided.

KENrUCKY's LEAD.

The lead taken by Kentucky indi-

opinion which demands that all of
the principles set forth at Chicago
shall be reaflirmed. However, those
formerly known as gold Democrats,
and who did not act with our party
last fall, but who propose to do so
this year, will not care which of the
two plans is adopted.
Some Of them, we believe, have
been thoroughly converted to the
free silver belief, and Others who have
not been, will support our nominees,
notwithstanding the fact that free
silver platform will be adopted by
the Roanoke convention. We under
stand the DHuville Register and the
Alexandria Times both to take this
position. Here in Richmond, we are
convinced that many gold Demo
Gratis will certainly fail into line with
us in the coming contest, vastly pre-
ierring to take pot-.uck with us
rather than with the enemy.
