Tho Henry County Bulletin and some
other Democratic papers in the Fii'h
Congressional district arc ridicuiing the
effort Of the Republicans to make the
virginia election law an issue IN a purely
national election.
our contemporaries are saying that the
Virginia election law is wholly without
the campaign and has nothing 10 do with
the case. but if Swanson is elected by
narrow majority and Mr.. Parr his oppo-
,ent makes a contest before the House.
our CONTEMPORARIES viii find that the Nir-
oinia election law has a great deal to do
with the case and that it will figure most
oouspicuously I'm the proceedings. Mr..
Parr will contend that the Virginia cicc-
ton law was framed for Che purpose OF
electing Democrats by fraud, and viii
show that the opportunities for fraud un-
der that law are so great that it is not
TO be supposed that INSCRIPTIONS politi-
clans would resist the temptation TO pro-
Ut thereby Before a Republican House
the burden of the proof viii be upon Mr..
Swanson. Mr.. Parr win moi have to prove
that Mr. swansons party was guilty Of
fraud. but Mr.. Swanson will have to show
that the election was fairly conducted IN
spite of the fact that there is abundant
opportunity for fraud under that law as
it now exists.
We have more than once called attention
10 the fac, that Mr. Epes, of the Fourth
district and Mr.. Young of the Second dis
trict. lost their seats in Congress by viz
tue of the Virginia election law. Mr..
Swanson escaped by dilatory tactics but
he may not come of so luckily next time.

"AN IRREPREssiBLE CONFLICT.
We quote rather often in The Times
from the editorial columns OF the Allan
Ia Constitution because that paper more
than any other Southern journal repre-
sents the political sentiment Of the
masses in the South The Constitution
is close observer of current events,
and like some other papers we know VIII
always De found on the popular side Of
every important question. Find out what
the Constitution is saying and you will
generally find out what the people Of
Georgia are thinking, for the Constitu-
ton always stands IN with the crowd.
We said the other day that Organism
was stm strong ia the South, and this
fact IS emphasized 10y a recent editorial
I'm the Atlanta Constitution. The article
is headed IAN lrrepressible Conflict. q"
and starts out with the statement that
cotton is quoted at is cents per pound
and wheat at 60 cents per busheL Moth
ing Is said about the immense crop Of
wheat and the immense crop of cotton
following upon the Fwels Of crops quite
IS large last year But the low price Of
both IS attributed 10 the gold standard.
And this Is the conclusion which the Con-
stitution draws from this condition. We
quote:

Chief Engineer Melville Says Their Ma

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2O,-The war just
ended was the first in which modern
steam vessels have had a thorough trial
So says Chief Engineer Melville in his
annual report.
The engneer-ln-chief says there was
n remarkable absence of casualty in the
machinery department of vessels of the
nghtlng squadron during the war,
But the torpedo boats could not show
tho same excellent record The report
says;
at Is a sad state Of affairs that nearly
every one has had some accident, and
the machinery OF some at the close Of
the war was in a condition that can onrS
be described as horrible, The boilers were
burnt, cylinder covers broken, plstons
and valves stuck and everything In bad
shape, This condition of affairs seemed
attributable to two causes, the absence
Of trained engineering supervision, and
the handling OF the boats for duty for
which they were not Intended"
The engineer-in-chief includes in his
report very strong Recommendation

sonnel bill now pending in congress
