HISTORY OF THE ELKS.
CONTINUED from 9Th page.

Jim Milne at this point favored the
crowd with q vocal solo which was well
received. Park Pitman com planned
that the song was to- long. ard pro.
posed that q fine be assessed but the
complaint failed to have the desired
effect. Mp. Milne was greeted with
deafening applause. Following this
portion of the program the orchestra
struck up the inspiring strains
and for moment patriotism took pos
session of the crowd and the scene
presented was most interesting. Plates,
saucers, spoons, and in fact most every
thing on the table were used as musi-
cal instruments in assisting the or
chestra in this patriotic piece. A:
the conclusion of this piece Chairman
Gatlin requested all present to stand,
and gave the following toast.
"TO our absent brothers-where e'er
they be, on land or on sea, we drink to
thee"
The orchestra then struck up the
"Star Spangled Banner" and all
present joined in singing the chorus.
Mirth ran rampant and laughter
reigned suprmme. It was a night set
aside by the Elks for enjoyment srd no
mistake was made to mar the pleasure.
Every thing that could be wished for
was there and plenty of it and no one
was sighted.
Geo. Ogden, Carl Ennis, Cash
Sroupe, and William Graves, served as
walters, with AL Howard as their chief,
and did excellent service. No one was
overlooked under their watchful eyes
and shey never tired in answering the
calls.
Joe Crosby sang two solos which
were well received and Harry Wood
recited "Mark Antony's address to the
Romans" which was we'll delivered
and met with great favor.
Taking it all in all the affair was q
grand social success and adds addi-
tional honor to the popular order of
Elks

A Funny School Book Settlement


A pleasant story is going the rounds
on the confusion of school book adop-
ton in this state. A clever book agent
in one of the rural districts represent
ing Silver, Burdette q Co's exec lent
series of readers known rs 'Stepp1ng
Stones to Literature" cleveriy sized
up the board that was to pass upon this
question and always referred to them
as the 'Silver Readers" leaving of
less to say that that board determined
to grasp the opportunity and train up
the children on silver readers so that
they would help repair the Crime OF
49, and get rid of the Ubiquitous gold
standard. In fact, one old fellow
said he knew that HoRe Tyler II
he was made governor would
look out for the interests
of silver on every occasion, aud be was
glad to know that he had given them
an opportunity TO have silver readers
| in the public schools! The school book
question has been an acute one for the
past months here in Virginia, and the
state board of education made 1t even
more acute by throwing the final settle
ment of what books shall be used, upon
the various county boards them selves.
There seems very little reason in the
state board of education's tabooing any
books whater, if they are good, and
then turn over the final decision in the
matter to county boards. They only
narrowed the circle OF choice, and in
narrowing the circle of choice left
out many good books, and did not
decide on anything. The professors
in the University of Virginia. which is
a state institution, in a large degree
make their own school books through
the system of magnificent lectures
which are printed and delivered
there. Why cannot the next leg
islsture employ Virginia teachers to
make books for the Virginia children
and let the state own the copyright to
| these books az d manufacture the books
and sell them ut cost to the public
school children OF Virginia? This
plan would secure the perfection of
school books and place them at mini
mum cost to the poor children of this
commonwealth. This plan is above
criticism. and will finally be the man
ner of dealing with this question.

The Knights of Labor must feel
keeuly their disappointment in having
their candidate Eylar turned down so
fatty in the convention. The Knights
worked hard for Eylar, WHO was well
worthy of their support, yet the vote
cast for Mr.. Eylar was discourag-
ingly small. The Knights are
not alone out in the cold, though,
for the railroad boys who confident
ly counted on the nomination OF
Joe Grant are downcast over the
result, and mutterings of an independ-
ent ticket are heard on every side.
Most of the support that Grant did re-
ceivs in the convention came from that
element that Grants political friends
called the 'silk stocking" element.
These men showed by their action that
while they disapproved of the Grant
Patterson com animation they did not
propose 70 forsake Grant on that &C.
count. 1t is not the fault Of the third
ward that Grant was thrown over.

The primaries are conducted here,
as in most places, in such a way that
there Is every opportunity to resort to
packing for the purpose of securing
this or that set of delegates. In sys-
tenn like the one in force here, the real
voting franchise is exercised at the
primaries, " hen delegates are chosen to
the convention. But while the system in
use is as fair for one as for the other,
still it lis usually the case that one side
Is rather more INSCRIPTIONS than
the other, and there is good chance
for the more ur scrupulous faction to
win. The least that could be done to
purify the ballot in this city would be
to require every man desiring to vote
at the primaries to show his
registration, certificate. Then If the
uames are taken down as the votes
are cast, with reasonable care the
chance for repeating and for illegal
voting is small. The great problem
among the better element in this city
Is how to eliminate the ignorant, venal
Mexican vote from the question as far
as Dos sible Ifone side will not descend
to buying up these stray votes that are
auybody's who cares to pay for them,
the other side will, and the result is q
premium on dishonesty and fraud.

out along the broad plans now indi-
Gated, will in q few years belong to the

whose power for good or evil will be
tremendous. Let US now, before we
have committed ourselves to anything,
provide for the future and see that we
get some substantial return for our
gifts to those who wish to invest in
the new enterprises. Remember that
this is no doubtful venture. The new
project will have clear field, and there
is not likely to be any serious attempt
at competition for many years. Let
US take care that we do not put our
selves in the pot for another mans

THE railroad men are thoroughly
iisgusted at the way they were shut
out of everything in the democratic
county convention. The railroad ele-
ment cuts q very large figure in this
county, and it is not easy to explain the
apparent disposition on the part of the
county leaders to ignore the claims of
,his large and important body ofmen. 1t
is certain that the railroad men as q
class are to be placed among the bet
ter element OF citizens. They are
usually more independent in politics,
although they are inclined to stay to-
gether in any fight, being by nature
somewhat clannish. But this very
characteristic. it would seem, would be
counted upon by q political leader and
made to bear fruit. Grant was turned

A few of these states, notably Mary
land, Ohio and Rhode Island, have al
ready held their senatorial elections.
1t will be observed that this list in
cludes all the most populous states of
the Union. with the exception Of Illi-
nois, Kentucky and Iowa, and indicates
the vast national Importance OF the
of the state elections yet to be held.
Moreover, throughout the union the
mem bers of the next congress are to be
elected, except in the few states where
they have been elected already. the
composition of the house of represent
atives of the fifty-sixth congress de-
ponds upon these elections, and conse-
que ntly the voters will necessarily be
most impressed with the responsibility
of dealing with great national que5-
tions growing out of the war. In New
York, specifically, the governor and
lieutenant governor and the minor
state officers, usually elected In alter
nate years, are all to be voted for this
wear: all members of the Legislature in
both branches and members OF con-
gress are to be elected.
1t will be the last general congress
ional election before the presidential
election of 1900 aud the last held sub
iect to the national ceneus of 1890.
Never since the government was
founded has there been an appeal to
the Judgment of the people OF graver
consequence. The future of this great
republic depends on that election. No
questions which are relatively of any
Importance enter into the election any
where except those affecting the
national destiny.

completely

down completely. His defeat
can be looked at in one
way only, and that is as direct slap
at the railroad boys. Grant made q
great mistake when he went in with
the Patterson gang. If he had kept
out of that unbo'y alliance. and had
cast his fortune with the anti-Patter-
son contingent, he would have had a
good chance for recognition in the
convention. AS it is, he, as the only
representative of the railroad boys,
has been left completely out in
the cold. The charge is freely made
that Patterson used Robinson simply
"a blind, to draw strength from Ten
Eyck. Many of the railroad boys be-
lieve that Grant was similarly used,
and that there was never any serious
intention of pushing him forward. The
railrc aders are in a good mood, gen.
orally speaking, to support good in
dependent ticket which would give
them some recognition.
