SUICIDAL POLICY.
Richmond Times.l.

Richmond lnnes.I.
The action of the House yesterday on
th Norfolk and Western bill is to be de-
plored. Railroads are great factors in the
Development Of any State, and it ought
to be the pleasure Of the Legislature to en-
courage the building of new roads and the
extension of lines already in operation
where no unreasonable privileges are re-
quired.
No one railroad in Virginia has done
more, perhaps, to develope the resources
of this State than the Norfolk and Western
road, and it would be great benefit to
that corporation and the State of Virginia
for it to have an outlet to Washington.
So far as we can learn the road asked
for nothing unreasonable, and its petition
was made in good faith with view to a
desirable extension. Instead of passing
the bill, however, and granting the road
the privilege to extend, the House killed
the bill by lacking on it the preposterous
amendment.
II there was any real objection to this
bill the fact should have been made known

SUBSCRIPTIONS.
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY, 3, 1898.
UNFURL THE FLAG!

The Republican flag was practically
fmled in the elections in Virginia last
wear. In those counties of the State where
it was foated by some of the brave men
of the party it was fired upon by those
who should have been its most eager pro-
tectors and in many instances it was
torn and desecrated by those who had
control of the party organization.
A deep disgust was created among the
rank and file of the party by the regenades
and unwise members of the party, who,
either joined the enemy or insisted on
lowering the flag before the Democracy.
The more the results of the election last
year are studied the more profound is the
impression that the attitude of mastery
inactivity" adopted by the State organiza-
ton was mistake. This being true no
time should be lost IN rectifying the
blunder. The Republicans in Virginia
who do the voting are more welded to
their political convictions than ever before.
They are convinced that the doctrines Of
"Sound Money" and Protection" as set
forth by the national platform are necces-
sary for the welfare and permanent pros
petty of our country. The results that
have followed the return of the Republican
party to the control of our National Gov
eminent have convinced them of the
soundness of the financial and economic
policies of that party.
1t is now patent that the great financial
battle of1S96 will have to be fought over
again in 1898. The free silver men who
control the Democratic party are resolved
to make the currency question the lead
ing one of the Congressional elections that
are to be held this year. In every State
in the Union the advocates Of a sound
currency will be called upon to perform
their duty. The Republicans of Virginia
should not only be willing but eager to
raise the party flag again and do battle
for the righteous cause of sound cur
rencv. The election next Fail will be q
National one and the ballot box suffers
will not be able to do their work unchal-
lenged BY systematic work at every pre-
cinct IN the State the Republicans can
detect and sufficiently establish the frauds
committed by the Democratic election
officers to effect the unseating of the
Democratic candidates who secure the re-
turns by frauds. The Republican effort
in the State would not, therefore, be as
seemingly hopeless as in State elections,
where there are no means that can be en-
ployed to set aside frauds and punish the
criminals who cheat electors at the ballot
box.
Our party in Virginia should be prepar-
ing for the election next Fall and the party
flag must be unfurled in every county in
the State. We must have united and
harmonious party, and plans should be
formulated for uniting the factions that
fought each other last year, In ourjudg-
ment State convention is the means to
accomplish the desired end.

Maryland Is politically pretty well in the
hands of the Republicans now, but OF
course the erection of a new and enlarged
penitentiary has no bearing on that CASE
Richmond Times.
OF course not, but if the Times is cor
rect in its statements about the ballot-stul-
fling and cheating that is done in Virginia
by election officers, the State penitentiary
would have to be greatly enlarged to ac-
commodate the ballot thieves that ply
their work under the protective wings Of
the Democratic election law.

THE friends of sound and stable cur
rency will have TO meet the Bryan Dem
ocracy on the money question next Fall.
The question is again forced TO the front by
the advocates of free silver. The Republ-
cans are for sound money and must stand
united for the good cause. All factlonal
differences should be cast aside and per-
sonal spite sent to the rear until the bust
ness welfare of the country is placed be-
yond danger and the national credit saved
from destruction.

An Exploded Argument Against Annexa'
ton.

indianapolis journal (Rep.).
Annexation does not necessarily imply
clothing the natives of Hawaii at once
with the rights and powers Of citizens.
Nothing of the kind is proposed. The
islands would doubtless be held in terri
torial condition for a long time. 1t has
been nearly fifty years since we acquired
Arizona and New Mexico, and they are
still Territories and likely to remain so for
some time to come. 1t would be just as
easy to hold Hawaii in a state of long Ter
ritorial tutelage, and probably before the
middle of the twentieth century it would
be as thoroughly Americanized as Arizona
is now. There is nothing in the native
population argument as a reason against
annexation.

TIE Virginia Legislature is still talking
retrenchment, but is making no intelligent
movement in that direction. No matter
where a proposition to cut down expenses
is made some one is enough interested tc
stop it at that point, and another has tc
be looked for.

In Union There is Strength.

There seems to he some prospect "t
the ladies who are promoting the
Olympia souvenir fund getting into Il
ianglr over little matter, OF detail,
very generally regarded IL Of no err
cial Importance to any iody. The
question u, t. who originated the
PROJECT, and the scope it should assume,
ar matters which lia," been and viii
b. determined hy events. We cannot
change the past, and only direct, in a
degree, the future.
Had the presentation 81 the chris
tcning gift been made before the cruis-
or had established record, it would
have been very proper t" have con-
tine.i the obligation i0r securing the
memcnt" to the municipality honored
by the name. But that time has
passed. The noble ship has cstab-
li>hcd fame which Cndcars her to
the people of the nation as well rs city
and State, and Il bauble which might
have been appropriate for the bantling
in i,cr infancy, would be ridiculous
offering now that she has attained
stalwart proportions As has been shown
by her Titanic achievements.
1t is, therefore, proper that any tes-
timonial that may bc offered should
he one in which her officers and crew
would feel exalted pride. There is q
task imposed in making it, which will
test the patriotism Of the whole State
to adequately meet. To extend its
scope beyond the limits of the State
would be impractical, but to make
it matter of pride and duty of the
whole northwest commonwealth seems
to be just the thing which should be
done.
There is manifest propriety, how
ever, in centering the management of
all aids employed in raising funds in
the organization perfected last May in
this city. Unity of purpose and action
is as essential in this matter for sue
cess, rs in any other earthly project.
This, we believe, will be readily con-
coded, and that the aggregate amount
raised will be devoted to the single
purpose OF doing the grand" in the
most appropriate and acceptable form.
The ladies should remember that in
becoming prominent factor in this
matter they are giving evidence as to
capability OF management of affairs of
polity, which at this time may largely
influence the vote on the constitu-
tional amendment granting impartial
suffrage. 1t will not do to place IL
club in the hands OF the opponents OF
woman's emancipation, who have
shown zeal so remarkable that it
must be born of some latent selfish
interest which enables them to flood
the country with pamphlets that at
tempt to show women to be incapable
of self-government.

HELEN GOULD showed herself a
noble woman by expanding $4,000
of her pin money to promote hospital
charities for our sick soldiers during
the late war with Spain. And now,
alas, she exhibits the ruling passion
for unrighteous gain, when she joins
with her brothers to withhold from
Howard Gould $1O,OOO,OOO, by striving
to carry out the insane provisions OF
her fathers will, in declaring her
self opposed to the cstimable young
woman he has married.

IT used to be the custom with
olden time sheriffs to tell the
convicted murderer as he stood upon
the scaffold, how many minutes he
had to live. This solemn warning
was supposed to aid the trembling
culprit in making peace with God by
the victim before the fatal trap was
sprung. Now the Republicans Of
Washington have barely eighteen days
longer to live, to marry and give in
marriage and disport themselves in
sublunary folly before the awful day
of their final destruction dawns upon
them. Would it not be wise for them
to set themselves down and think
upon their latter end?

says that the export of wheat and

that the grain trade feels confident
the crops abroad are shorter than had

ficiency in other lands.

NOBODY CLAIMS THE REwARD.-In
its issue of October 18th, the Olympian
makes positive statement that dur
ing the last year OF Republican admin
istration, from July LIST, 1895, to June
80, 1896, the debt of Thurston county
was reduced in the sum of 1924, 328.52.
Mr.. Byrne, candidate for County Com
missioner on the Peoples ticket, in
commenting on this statement, offered
to pay 500 to any person who could
show that instead of being reduced by
the amount stated it had not been in
creased by at least $4,000. And this
offer, we are authorized to state, ap-
plies to the five preceding years as
we'll. 1t is plain proposition, still
nobody has yet appeared to gather in
the shekles.

THAT DANGEROUS" AMENDMENT
Oily seems to be almost overcome with
terror over the submission of the pro.
posed amendment to the Constitution
authorizing municipalities to desig-
nate the classes OF property to be sub
ject to taxation. Whatever may be
the objections to the measure, it is at
best only release of constitutional
inhibitions now imposed, and will be
ineffective unless a majority of the
people elect majority Of the Legis-
lature, and majority of the law
makers deliberately resolve to extend
statutory aid. Thus it will be seen
that, even if our neighbours fears are
we'll founded that the result is wholly
in the hands of the people. If the
people are capable of self-government,
as we proudly boast they are, no
harm can possibly result from giving
them authority to do, or not do, GER
tain things as in their discretion may
seem most proper. This was undoubt-
eddy the view taken of the matter
when such good Republicans as Messrs.
Deckebach, Dorr, Frink, Harper.
Lewis, Megler, Pussey, Range, War
burton and Wooding, of the last Sem
ate, and all the Republicans in the
House but one, voted for the measure.

Oily lis trying to make "handle"
out of the fact that the County Treas
urer, failed to run his office on the
salary allowed for that object, an I'M
dertaking that was said to be impossi-
bic at the time the canvass was on.
Mr. Frost promised to do so, if it was
within the range of possibility by dill
ligent effort and hard labor. He
made strenuous effort, but was COM
PEELED finally to ask the Commission
ers for aid; or allow the service to be-
come crippled and inefficient. That
is the history of the matter in nut
shell. 1t comes with the effron,ery of
Satan from Republican high pres
sure public functionary to censure this
course, with all the facts before him.
1t was simply impossible for any one
man to perform all the duties imposed
by late laws upon the Treasurer of
this and many other counties.

A LoNG-DIsTANCE PHONE. - Last
week Spokane people talked with their
San Francisco neighbors over 1900
miles of wire, without any appreciable
difference in volume or tone between
conversations with Portland, less than
half that distance. Within a month
it is thought that the line to Rossland,
B. c., will be completed, and extern
sions made in California which will
increase the distance to 1000 miles.
OF course the equipments are first
class in all respects, and the line con-
sists OF a double metallic circuit Of
heavy copper wire, which is the best
known conductor OF the subtle fluid
which carries the air vibrations over
space and rearranges them with such
marvellous fidelity.

Does " Polly Want q Cracker"P

A protective tariff means that wher
you buy your goods at home you no.
only have your goods at home but you
keep your money at home too, that EN-
ployment is given to home labor who
manufacture the goods, and who in
turn eat the products of our farms ant
wear the products of our factories A
tariff for revenue only, means that il
you buy your goods abroad, about q
year thereafter you neither have the
goods nor the money, and consequently
no work for the American workmen.--
Oympian.
10 state the matter truely and with.
out political .fnesse, a protective tariff
means enabling the manufacturer tc
form trust and sell his products at q
price that will enable him to put w
his share of a twenty-million- dollar
corruption fund to faint politics at its
fonntain-head. A tariff for revenue
with incidental protection means the
establishment of healthful compe.
tition which protects homes and labor
to reasonable extent, and keeps just
rs much money at home and places
just as much in the pockets OF the
American workmen.
1t makes one tired to find people
continually harping upon the old
party chords which have been twanged
from the Tyre for-oh, so many years.
But then, Polly pardon! Oly>
learned his lesson in youth, and is but
fulfilling the text, Gin after years it
will not depart from him." in repeat.
ing such palpable misstatements.
A protective tariff is a prohibitory
tariff, and it is the only kind OF a
tariff which serves the purpose OF
Avarice and enables the amassinc OF
colossal fortunes from American
manufactures

AN INTERESTING TROPHY gear.
TURED" BY SUPPOSED FRIENDs.-It has
just been ascertained that the crew OF
the flagship Olympia sent some time
ago a captured Spanish flag to the
people of Olympia. 1t was, according
to press dispatch, sent from Manila
to II. ii. Malstrom, of Tacoma, to be
delivered by him to our civic autbori-
ties. The arrangements were made
by Thomas Toohey, likewise of Ia
coma, who entrusted it to James Cullin,
a passenger by the steamer City Of
Sidney, on late voyage over from the
Philippines. 1t is said that the San
Francisco customs officers seized the
emblem, and have attempted to divert
its destination to Mare Island. NAL
strom has been corresponding with the
crew of the flagship and the San
Francisco officials, so far without re-
suit. Mayor Lane has taken up the
matter and will use all due diligence
to secure the trophy.
p. S.-A report is now current that
the flag story, rs narrated above, is a
hoax, and that no ground whatever
exists for it.

WASHINGTON BARLEY OF HIGH
GRADE.-Barley is another crop which
promises we'll this season. Drouth
has caused failure of the crop in
California, and this has made brisk
market i'll this State, to supply the
foreign, rs we'll as the local demand,
which does its ordering through San
Francisco dealers. There has been a
heavy crop in some of our Eastern
counties and it has gone to supply
this demand, and grain authorities
are confident that this assures a
permanently established market, for
our barley is OF much higher grade
than that grown in California, from
the larger per cent. OF saccharine mat.
ter possessed by it. Hitherto, it is said,
foreign dealers were not aware of a
better grade than the California pro-
duct. The output this year is esti-
mated at 10000 tons, and it COM
mands at tidewater 1923 per ton. The
great advantage in raising barley is, in
the fact thatit does not exhaust the
ground like wheat. Eastern WASH
ington is peculiarly adapted for barley,
as the hot sun and dry climate are
not wanting which insure the sweetest
and best grade.
