Folly of an Anti-cartoon Law

Pictorial comment on men, measures and
issues commanding public attention is ana
always has been as legitimate and secure
against unwarrsnted legislative interfer-
ence as written criticism. 1t is guar
anteed right OF the freedom Of the press.
For any abuse of that right stringent
libel law affords an ample remedy. But
to declare that no public character shall be
cartooned without his written consent
would be equivalent to declaring that no
public character shall be criticised without
his written consent-New York Herald.

The Theater

The theater like music. scripture, and
painting, may be great moral and edu

been placed under the ban by Puritans,
Quakers and iconoclasts. But 1t Is only

recognize their educational possibilities.

SATURDAY, JULY 81, 1897.
Entered at the PostofIice at Accomac
@. H., Va, as second class matter.

The people in large crowds were in
attendance at the Court house on
last Monday, and had an object in
being on hand, but nothing was done
to excite their displeasure and after
spending the day lettering around in
q lazy, good natured way, returned
to their homes in the afternoon, with
the conviction that the day had not
been wasted by them. The gather
ing was democratic one, and the
convention held on that day at
tracted them thither. They were on
on hand, in other words. to watch
the proceedings of that body and
participate in them, if any ill-ad-
vised schemes were presented to that
body which, it was currently re-
ported, would be. Whether any
such were contemplated, or if in
tended, were held in check by the
imposing presence of the sovereigns
who were present to fight them, it
matters not how. 1t is enough to
state, that the convention was held,
transacted its business in quiet and
business-like manner and adjourned
without any demonstration showing
discussions in the democratic ranks.
The delegation to Roanoke will go
there uninstructed and is about
equally divided between the two
leading candidates for Governor, Ty.
Ter and Ellyson. The sentiment of
the people at the mass meeting was
overwhelmingly in favor of Hon.
Lloyd T. Smith, for Attorney-gener-
al, and the delegates in Difference to
their wishes will doubtless cast their
votes for him as long as he has a
prospect of being nominated for the
office by the Convention.

The Populist State Convention
met at Roanoke OF Wednesday with
about 200 delegates and visitors in
attendance. General James G. Field
was elected permanent chairman of
that body and made speech in
which he paid tribute to Hon. VIM
j. Bryan and Senator Daniel. A
platform was adopted at night re
affirming the principles set forth Ill
the st. Louis platform of 1896 and ill.,
sisting on the currency being issued
by the general government, and not,
by banks of issue; favoring the imme-
date enactment of non-partizan
election law, and declaring that the
populists cannot cooperate with any
party which does not pledge itself to
this reform. The platform demands
greater economy in State and county
expenditures, and in order to in
crease the legitimate revenues Of the
State declares that all stocks, bonds
and evidences of debt shall be taxed.
1t favors the running of the free
schools at least eight months in the
year and paying better salaries to
teachers Several attempts to
nominate candidates for Gov
ernor and Northumberland had
been made without result, accord
ing to our latest advices, and it may
be, that no nominations for these
offices will be made by them as many
Of the leading Populists have signi-
fed their willingness to support the
democratic ticket this fall. The opin
ion prevailing among many of the
politicians of the State is, though,
that the Populists would nominate
only candidate for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, and expect the Democratic
Convention when it meets to accept
and make him its candidate for that
Office.

All is sad within our dwelling,
Lonely is our home to-day.
For the voice we loved so fondly,
Has forever passed away.
His busy hands are folded,
His work on earth is done,
His life career is ended,
His battle fought and won.
Gone from EARTH yes, gone forever,
Tear dimmed eyes shall gaze in
vain,
We shall hear his voice, oh never!
Nevermore on earth again.
Home is sad, oh God how dreary
Lonesome, lonesome, every spot,
Listening for his voice, till weary,
Weary, for we hear him not.
