THE VIRGINIA CAMPAIGN.

Yesterday was a fleld-day for the vir-
ginia Democracy. AS will be seen from
our news columns this morning, meetings
were held at various points in the State.
these meetings were as a rule we'll attend
ed, and some OF the best speakers in the
party addressed the people. Indeed, It
may be said that the Gay really marked
the opening of the Democratic campaign
in earnest. and that the opening was
most suspicious.
That for their part our speakers will
follow up the work Of yesterday there is
no reason TO doubt. The State Committee
will see to that. As far as pressing the
enemy from the stump is concerned, we
look for continued and steady aggressive
ness.
And as we have intimated before, not in
years has there been a congressional cam
paign in which discussion ought TO tell
Tor more in the interest Of the Democrats.
The Republicans are on the defensive as
to every issue that has been preached
They are vulnerable as TO every issue.
But 1t is not enough that we have this
advantage. 1t is not enough that we
are in position to force the fighting in the
arena of speechmaking. Much remains
for others than the speakers to do. In
order to the making of assurance OF VIC
tory double sure, the local leaders must
bend their energies TO the work Of orga-
nization. The doing of their part lies
in counting noses and In seeing to it that
the people go TO tho meetings, and that
every democrat is prepared to march to
the polls on election-day. Another duty
dcyolviIg upon them is to make certain
that no Democrat takes anything for
granted.
Last, but not least, there rests upon
them largely the responsibility of exposing
and circumventing any efforts that may
be made to practice the Hanna methods
Of influencing voters that were introduced
into the State by the boss Of the national
Republican party in 1885, As to this, there
cannot be too careful watching. On sew
eral occasions recently a suspicion has
developed that Hanna has not lost inter-
est in Virginia politics.
so we say that while our speakers are
fighting and driving the enemy in the
open, let the local committeeman and
other local party workers devote them
selves among other things, to perfecting
discipline and to smoking out any of
Hanna's emissaries and guerillas that
may be lurking in the bushes near the
Democratic camps.

DECIDED UPON.

The Ohio State Journal, which Is pub
lshed at the capital of the State of Presi-
dent Mckinley and his two chief spokes-
men, Hanna and Grosvener, says that enc
by one are disappearing the arguments
against such policy which the Amerl-
can opponents of retention of the Philip
pines have adduced
Nothing of the kind. To begin with.
what may be termed the primary argu-
ment against retaining the Philippines,
and which is coeval almost with the
foundation of the republic, has not only
not disappeared, but has not been weak
ened. 1t IS an argument which was fer
mulated by Washington, and was tier
ated, emphasized, and elaborated in one
way or another by Jefferson. Adams,
Monroe, and others of the fathers. 1t Is
an argument to which over a century of
experience has impaired cogency We
refer TO the argument against entangling
alliances.
Nor have the other arguments against
imperialism disappeared or been weaken
ed. On the contrary. each and every one
Of them gathers force pari passu with
intelligent study of the question. This is
especially true of the economic argument
The absorption Of the Philippines would
mean a vast increase in our standing army
and proportionate increase in our navy,
the creation of hundreds of new civil Of
fees and the opening up of hundreds OF
new channels through which the Trea-
sury would be drained. 1t would mean a
for, as cur possession of Porto Rico has
already shown, the revival of the carpet
bag instinct is a thing TO be reckoned
with in connection with the aftermath of
the war. Consequently, the absorption
of the Philippines would also mean that
live to see the present onerous war taxes
lifted from the shoulders of the masses.
No. There is no ground for the asser-
ton of the State Journal. Yet, consider
ing the source, the declaration of Gros-
venor In opening the Ohio campaign, and
Hanna's recent assurances as TO what the
President thinks, the assertion is sgnif-
cant. Our Columbus contemporary speaks
by authority of "the power behind the
throne" at least. Presidential outgiYings
as to a desire to sound public sentiment
on the Philippines question tosthe con-
trary not withstanding, what the State
Journal says is pretty good evidence that
a policy of imperialism is thing decided
upon nv the administration

BIG PROFITS IN WHEAT.
Bear Leader Pockets $75O,OOO Owing
to Letters Failure.

CHICAGO. ILL, September 26-kauf-
man, the st. Louis miller and bear leader,
has made a killing on the short side OF
wheat. He spent the last week In Chi
cago, going home Friday night with
profits of $4,000. made in the past four
months. He has secured about all the
money he lost fighting Letters bull deal
last year.
Every time he went short last year he
was run in at heavy losses, and had 10
mortgage most % his property TO meet
them. When Letters deal collapsed
Kaufman commenced selling July wheat
in June around si.l0, and followed 1t
down, his lowest sales being around ~
cents. His line did not exceed 100000
bushels, and was bought in the past week
at g. 1-2 to SO ID cents, 100000 bushels
being taken on Wednesday.
The big dealers are all out OF the mar
ket. Kaufmans line OF 100000 bushels
is comparatively small for him. as In
the past, when the market had gone his
way. no has sold as high as i5,cnOW
bushels.

France and Dreyfus.
Chicago Record.)


Awake awake, France. from the deep
And guardless slumbers of the night!
Still footsteps to your chamber creep,
And coward hands, that murder sleep,
But shrink in fear before the lght.
False visions whispering at your ear
The lying dreams that shun the day
Before the dawning sharp and clear
Shall vanish in their formless fear,
And in the sunshine melt away.
Up from your slumbers undismayed!
The traitors by your portals stand;
Arms ever for your hands were made,
The scabbard and the shining blade;
Strike, then, the foes within your land.
Tear off the veil from naked fact;
The army that you set so high
Must be of honest men compact
Soldiers unstained in heart and act
You cannot conquer with lie.

The wide range Of personal
blessings for which people are
thankful suggests treud Of
thought that is interesting. The
average man or woman, down
deep in their hearts, are not quite
sure of an overruling Providence.
Man naturally clings 20 his own
achievements and is proud of
them, and when thankful at all, is
like the Pharasee, thankful that
he is better than his neighbors.
The most helpless and weakest
human beings generally see more
to be thankful to God for than
those more Independent. A story
illustrative of this fact is told of a
Thanksgiving dinner at an asylum
for the INDECENT blind in one of the
states. Some great personges
were present and in their post
prandial speechesw were telling why
they were thankful, some for one
cause and some for another. After
they were through a little blind
orphan girl arose from her place
at the table and said that she was
thankful for all things This
poor little waif blind, and home
less and poor, could lift her sight
less eyes to heaven and say that
she was even thankful ior her
poverty and helplessness. Verify,
"a little child shall lead them"
