SOME SUGGESTIONS.

We would suggest that the toilet

glazed brick walls and sheet metal be
used in construction, that new win
dows be put in, the present one en-
larged; that the indirect radiators be
removed to one of the adjoining base
ment rooms; that the sewer pipe be
continued for ventilation through the
roof; that brick air pipes be provided
for trap ventilation under the base
ment sink and the wash basins on the
first and second floors; that the range
closets be replaced with carthern
syphon JET closets, properly equipped
with sanitary appliances; that the
urinalS be of the automatic flushing

The air IS full of peace talk and the
President is hopeful that negotiations
looking to a final conclusion OF hostilities

hcI pride was so great that she could
not gain her consent TO yield without a
struggle and bitterly has she paid FOR
It. pride goeth before a fan" and
SPANS fall has been attended with the
most disastrous consequences. The con-
test has been one-sided from the start
and SPANS resistance has been pitiful
indeed.
But her men have demonstrated that
they are not lacking in courage and
Spanish honor has been vindicated. That
seems to have been her only idea in

accomplished that purpose. she can row

AN UPRoAR IN THE VALLEY.

Some Of our esteemed contemporaries
in the Valley of Virginia are frotting
themselves sorely over a very brief edi-
torial which appeared in The Times of
July 10th. headed "Bolting Encouraged"
It was a bit cruel. we reckon. in weather
like this TO sprinkle salt on the raw
places, but we did not intend to be
cruel We did not realize at the time
that It would hurt so severely.
The stanton Spectator and Vindicator
which did not for years lose an oppor-
tunity TO rebuke boiling was much els
pleased at the defeat Of Mr.. Flood before
the Covington Convention and fearing
that there would be disaffection in the
party warned the victors against too
much elation. ut cannot be expected,
said our contemporary. chat the eastern
portion OF this district will for all time
stem up and vote for the candidate die
tated by the Valley. and when such die
tatlon takes place. and they are forced
not only to DO this. but at the same time
TO accept a minority candidate. THERE
OUGHT TO BE LITTLE COMPLAINT
IL THEY GROW CARELESS AND
FORGET THE DAY OF ELECTION"
(caps ours)
The Times has been so often rebuked
by the Spectator and Nindicator for re-
fusng TO support the nominee Of the
Chicago convention. that we would have
been less than human IL we had not re-
produced with fitting comment this pro-
nouncement from the editorial columns
Of our esteemed contemporary. in which
It showed sympathy. to say the least.
With those Democrats who were disposed
to withhold their support from the noli-
nee OF the Coyington Convention.
We are very much amused to note
that the Staunton Record. which has de-
voted much of It's space, editorislly and
locally, TO an effort 20 break the force

our contemporary cannot thus call us
of the scent. The idea that we are OPP
posod 70 Judge Quarles and that we are
irving to defeat him is too absurd
statement to be treated seriously. be-
cause every reader of The Times knows
that we rejoiced over the nomination Of
Judge ouarles as a defeat OF the political
machine and commended him as gem
tleman in every way worthy of the dis
,,ngp,shed honor that has been conferred
upon him.
Not n bit OF It. The point, and the
only point. In the little article in The
Times which seems TO have caused such
n FURRY in political circles. was that the
stanton stalwart had shown sym
natbv with the disaffected and had come
about as near as It could TO saying that
they we're justified in boiling because
n minority candidate had been forced
upon them. and that several other free
silver newspapers in this district had
reprinted the Stalwart's article, giving
It at least a tacit approval
That's tho point. Don't miss H. Ana

with the platform. but TO the fact that
their candidate was defeated.

MIR. MUNFoRD's ARGUMENT.

! Wa print I'm another column a communi-
| cation from our friend, Mr.. b. b. Mum
! ford. IN explanation OF his reference TO
| the bearing or the school book question
| on Virginia politics. and we must say
| that he has made a most able argument.
| Just such as We would have expected
from him. and that ne has made q very
ctrong plea in behalf Of the party or
which he is an honored representative.
But Mr. Munford has not convinced us
that politics has anything TO do with this
subject and that the welfare OF the Dem
ocratic party should Influence the Board
OF Education In making its selection OF
text books for the public schools. 1t is a
question wholly without the sphere or
partisan politics, and although Mr.. Mum
ford has most ngeniously argued that
the welfare OF the public school system
depends upon the success OF the Demo
cratic party, we insist that this question
shall be decided without reference 10
party consideration.
MIR. Munford did not mention this con-
purpose was TO influence the members OF
the Board who hold office by grace Of the
Democratic party. With tho shrewdness
Of a trained lawyer he laid emphasis
upon the great Democratic principle OF
local self government but after all the
sum ana substance of his argument was
that il would hurt the Democratic od-
ministration IL such radical changes
should be made as 20 require patrons OF
the schools 20 purchase new books for
their children. II seems to us that Mr..
Munford's references were most uniortu-
nate. and we cannot but believe that IN
dragging this question into n discussion
In which it has no place ne mas oohe ms
cause more harm than good.
Mr.. Munford also quotes from his elo-
ouent speech TO show that he was IN iav-
or Of the merit system, and that he put
che intrinsic merit of text books above
every other consideration. Undoubtedly
Mr. Munford could not afford TO make an
a~-ument before the state Board of Edu-
cation I'm favor of inferior books. But we
make bold the statement that II he poll
tical question be any argument at ALL
and II It have any influence whatever on
the Board OF Education. 1t is paramount
10 everything else. Politics has no con-
sidcrauon for anything but Itself and its
interests. Politics does not consider mer-
it but expediency availability. 1t is not
the most meritorious man VINO gets an
office. but the man whose fncumbency
can best promote the party's interests
we had an apt illustration Of this fact
IN a recent contest before the city Coun-
Gil.
Politics would demand Of the State
Board OF Education that 1t make no
changes in the books. or that 1t make
complete change, according as party In
terests were concerned, without any sort
OF reference to the merit question. And
so we say that If the political question
Is to be considered. it will take precedence
over all other question. That is the way
OF politics. did,.
