SOME of Col. Watts Democratic friends
have been telling it around that he has an
nounced his intention of never voting a
Republican ticket again. From what we
canlearn they have misunderstood the
Colonel. He supported Mr., ST. Clair for
the Senate but ever since the election has
protested that he was as good Republican
as he ever was, The Democrats Nay be a
little too previous in claiming Col. Watts
as their own. They ought to be more par
tcular in speaking of the position he occu-
pies.

THEY SHOULD BE PUNISHED.

At the recent election in the city Of Phil
acelphia certain ele6CG. 5ficers made
fraudulent returns OF ISae a5tes in their di-
visions, and the result has beer, thatthree
of them have been promptly brought he
fore q court and sentenced to heavy pun
ishment. The sentence is fine of $500
each, imprisonment for nine months, dis
franchisement for four years and disquali-
fcation from holding Office seven years.
This is severe butjust punishment former
who have perjured themselves and COM
mitted an outrage upon the elective fran
chise. If such punishment could be in
flicted upon those election officers in Nlr-
GINA who are guilty of similar frauds we
would have healthier state OF affairs IN
our Commonwealth, and would not be
held so much in contempt by the outside
world. In some sections of our State
frauds in elections are not only condoned
and defended but q premium is placed
upon them. At Smithers precinct, in
Henrico county, few years. ago fraud
was committed similar to that in Philadel-
phia, and the punishment melted out to the
election officers was so trivial it was con-
sidered farce. Afterwards, in 1896, the
registrar of the same precinct, ne believe,
fraudulently prevented large number Of
voters from registering, and the courts
were either unable or unwilling to punish
the offender.
In the recent election the electoral board
of Cumberland county fraudulently failed
to print the name of the Republican can
didate for the House of Delegates upon
the tickets printed for that county, and
when called upon to give reason therefor
excused themselves by saying that they
did not know how it happened. A SINH
lar excuse was made by the election off
GERS who perpetrated the frauds alluded to
in Philadelphia, hut they will he severely
punished. The electoral board of Cum
berland county will not only not be pun
ished, but will be rewarded by being re-
elected to the positions they have dishon-
ored. 1t is very plain that the election
laws of Virginia have been framed to fur
nish opportunities for cheating and TO pre-
vent the punishment of the officers who
commit frauds. The result has been that
ballot boxes are being tempered with anC
frauds perpetratel in every section Of the
State. Elections have degenerated into
farces and the whole moral tone of the
body polite has been alarmingy cor
rupted. Without the honest people o
Virginia band themselves together an(
wipe out the laws which not only sugges
frauds in elections but prevent their pun
ishment, there is no telling to what low
estate the politics of the Old Dominion vii

CHATS ALLTHERE is IN IT."

A few days ago two editors were con-
versing, one of them aDemocrat, the other
a Republican. During their talk they were
expressing their disapproval Of the selfish
course pursued by certain political lead
ers, who have been using their party as
means for securing Offices for themselves
and their immediate friends. A gentle
man standing by remarked, ''that's all
there is in politics any way" and seemed
to be astonished that two political editors
should seriously and earnestly condemn
the prostitution of political organizations
by party leaders for their own immediate
benefit. 1t may be that the views ex-
pressed by the gentleman, who was by
stander, are held by a great many intelli
gent and worthy citizens. If these views
are correct to what an unfortunate condi-
ton have the political parties Of the coun'
try been brought. Being true, can we
wonder at the contempt which a great
many people hold for politics or be sur
prised when we see so many voters dis
posed to sell their votes for money con-
sideration? fthe political organizations
have become so corrupted that they are
only used for the purpose of bestowing Of
fees on certain men who have captured the
organizations, there ought to be regenera-
ton of the parties. Political parties
should be built upon principles. In a
government like ours they are necessary to
define the policies of those who are to adj
minister our national affairs and shape the
legislation that becomes necessary through
tie progress and development of our
country. The perpetuity and usefulness Of
our republican government are dependent
upon the purity of politics and honesty of
our statesmen. There always have been
and always will be corrupt men inpolitical
parties, but we do not believe that the
politics CT this country have SO degenera-
ted that parties are no longer used for any
purpose except to place partisans in office.
Ifsuch conditions do prevail, tits the duty
of every citizen who loves his country and
is devoted to the liberty which is secured
to every man, woman and child by our
splendid form of government to become a
politician, net for office but to assist IN

and expressions. Coming into existence,
they find themselves weighed down with
taxation; compelled every day to toll
severa. hours extra in order to pay the
money which some former king spent on
needless wars or on mistresses; compelled
to toll other hours to support an armament
which must be kept because the peasant
just across the frontier is toiling to keep
up an armament equally large. TIER sons
are spending the best years of their lives in
camp, kicked and cufIed and insulted by
officials, marching and counter-marching
and drilling. AS the peasant or artisan
goes to his home after the weary day he
sees at the cross roads the sign which tells
him where he must report at q moments
notice for service in the field in case OF
war, leaving the land to be TILED by his
wife and his daughters-all this not be-
cause of any choice of his, not because of
any mistake that he has made, not because
of any negligence with which he is charge
able, but simply and solely because of what
happened generations ago. He is in the
power Of forces which he cannot control.
This is the old world by no means at Its
worst. If we go further east the situation
is infinitely more trying and the outlook
more hopeless. The millions of people are
in virtual slavery; they are utterly I'M
prepared for liberty, while yet they can
never be prepared except by liberty of
which they dare not dream. These peo-
pie, alas! are utterly destitute of the con-
ISOLATION which Demosthenes pointed out
to his fellow-citizens. 1t is not easy to see
what the Russian moujik can do to relieve
his country of the evils which burden it,
but it is literally and absolutely
true that every calamity under which the
American people suffer excepting the rare
instances of tornadoes, cyclones and
earthquakes) is due to our blameworthy
selfshness or cowardice, and its contin-
uance or repetition might be prevented
by the exercise of forethought and patriot
ism.
A country in which the press is free, the
pulpit is free, the platform is free, the bal
lot is free, can blame no one for the ills
which itself can remedy, and it has this
encouragement that it need but make up
its mind, and keep it made up to see the
evils disappear, But it must be considered
that all this, viii oh is our encouragement
and our opportunity, may he our reproacE
and our calamity. All this gives Serious
ness to life in republic, The people who
are the victims of cause which they can
remedy have at least whatever happiness
may come from a sense of responsibility;
but he who lives in free State has some
thing else to do than to laugh and sing if
he would escape the reproach of his own
conscience and the reproach of postenty.
Let us be thankful that along with our
broad land, with its infinite diversity of
climate, its boundlessness Of production,
with our immortal ancestry, the best ever
granted to man, there has been given
opportunity, opportunity, opportunity;
that we may make our present and our
future just what we will; that all the ex-
perlence of the past is ours to use in build
ing up the most prosperous country on
which the sun ever shone.

and the alarming deficit in the revenues Of

1t is not customary or even allowable
for a Chinaman of quality to do his
own love-making. That is a duty
and privilege belonging to his father
or to his nearest male relative consid-
erably his senior. The wooing, how
ever, is not less ELUSIVE than it would
be If left to the love-sick swain him
self. Here is a letter from a mar who
desired the daughter of a neighbor as
a wife for his ION:
"On my knees I beg you not to de-
spise this cold and common request,
but listen to the words of the matri-
moEial agent and give your daughter
to my slave of a son, so that the pair,
bound by silken threads, may have the
greatest joy. In the beautiful spring
time ! shall offer wedding presents and
give a couple Of geese. And let us hope
for long and continuous fortune, and
look forward through endless genera
tions to the fulfllment of genuine love.
May they sing Of plenty and have every
JOY. On my knees 1 beg you to 0 IN
slider my proposal favorably and throw
the mirror-hke glance Of your eyes on
these lines" To this letter the father
of the bride replied that he would at
tend to the portion of his poor and
poverty-stricken daughter, that she
might not be without bedclothes, cot
ton clothing, hairpins and earrings.
Therefore twas to be hoped that the
couple would have constant fortune
