OPTICAL objections 10 married men
in the enlisted force of the army have
been renewed by the war depart
ment in an order recently sent out
60 recruiting officers and regiment
Al and other commanding officers.
There has always been natura. oh
lection to this for the reason that the
accommodation at military posts do
not admit of many families. Another
reason is found in the fact that men
make better fighters and can be- or
dered here and there easier when they
are free of family responsibility. The
enlistment of married men will be per
mitted only for good public reasons.
NEARLY all the claims arising from

auditor for the navy department states
that many of these claims are exorbit-
ant, but that the treasury was COM
PEELED to pay them, as there was no
way of disputing their accuracy. Four

CITY AND COUNTRY VOTERS.
The Latter Are as Well Posted as The
Former on Political Questions.
Boston Journal (Rep.l

Boston Journal (Rep.)
Governor Boutwell, gives a queer expla-
nation of the strong support received last
Tuesday by the Republican party and
what he calls 'imperialsm" from the
voting populations living outside Of cities.
He finds that in the country the voters
were not SO we'll informed politically as Gin
the larger centers, where people have time
to read the papers. where they are in
closer touch with events, and where they
are more accustomed to change"
The truth is that the closest political
reading is done in the country, and the
political discussion which in the city is
brief and superficial except in the very
presence of an election, is carried on In
the country twelve months in the year
With tireless interest and the most scrupu-
lous care for detail. The city man who
shares his interest In politics with forty
other concerns is not in the same class az
far as political information goes with the
intelligent farmers, mechanics, manufact-
urers and storeekeepers Of the country.
Governor Boutwell's remark reminds US
of the experience of a Boston man who
started stamping some twenty years ago
for the Republican State Committee. He
was elegant, refined, beautifully dressed
and meant we'll He had booked up on
current politics and with companion was
assigned to Massachusetts town about a
hundred miles from Boston, There he
found an audience of several hundred men
of the type we have been describing-men
who made reading serious business,
whose interest in politics never tagged,
who could have given among them Off
hand the names of candidates, the size of
majorities and fair synopsis of party
platforms for thirty years back.
When the Boston man vas introduced
he laid off his handsome light overcoat, a
novelty in those days, advanced to the
front of the platform, and, smiling and
bowling, began thus "Fellow-citizens, it
must be great qualification to you that
gentlemen from Boston should come so far
to enlighten you as to the Issues Of the
election and to instruct you concerning
your political duties" This to an audi
ence in which every third man would have
been glad to try fall with the speaker In
q political argument on any subject. The
silence was appalling, the speech became
almost tragedy and on the report made
to the State Committee the ambitious
young gentleman was taken off the stump
and called home.
No, no, Governor Boutwell,, there is
nothing in politics that is good, there is
nothing in political reading or political
discussion that the city can fell the
country.

THE GOEBEL INFAMY.
Democratic OfiClaIs Steadily ROhblng
Taylor Of His Vote.

Washington Post independently
1t begins to appear that the Kentucky
campaign, which opened with the infa-
nous nomination OF Goebel by the Demo
Gratis, is destined to close with the even deep
er infamy of Goebel's election by fraud. The
Louisville Courier-Journal, which has be.
come the exponent, if not the authorized
organ, of Goebelism and its methods, is
now telling us under triumphant headlines
and with honest pride how the pure. mind
ed Democratic officials throughout the
State are steadily robbing Taylor Of his
vote, and as steadily overcoming by the
foulest and most insolent expedients the
Republicans legitimate majority. What
was begun upon the scale of petty larceny
the theft of isolated ballot boxes and
the disqualification of small groups OF
voters here and there-has reached the
proportions of wholesale plumber and
spoliation. The Goebel officials have
bodily abandoned the iurtive, plecemeal
system, and are now stealing by counties
instead of by precincts. The most vora'
cious and arrogant carpet-bagger that
went South in reconstruction times to raw
age States and loot their treasures would
turn in his grave to.day-turn with envy
and regret-if he could know what a bung-
ling journeyman he was compared with
this Kentucky adept.
We risk nothing in the assertion that In
the history of American elections there
has been no spectacle more disgraceful
and abhorrent than that now presented
by the Kentucky Democracy. That the
Republican candidate has been elected by
clear majority is beyond all question:
That the election officials, aided by Demo-
cratic courts, are gradually but surely ex'
tinguishing this majority, is patent to the
dullest understanding. 1t is a spectacle
fraught with humiliation and with shame
And what makes it especially odious in
the ewes of decent men is the fact that
Goebel. who devised the machinery OF
fraud, is to be the beneficiary of its opera
ton. The disgust and anger generated by
these proceedings include the entire coun'
try. Honest Democrats, honest men-all
who care for justice, honor, and self're'
spect-resent, denounce, and brand them'
1t is safe prediction that the Democratic
party, not only in Kentucky but in the
nation at large. will be the victim OF such
victory of villainY. The installation OF
Goebel through the detestable methods we
have described will give Kentucky to the
Republican party for years to come. No
honorable man can possibly pndone those
methods or permit himself to be identi-
fed with them. The struggle is no longer
between Republicanism and Democracy.
1t is between righteousness and crime!

THE newspapers report that Governor
Tyler in his forthcoming message to the
Virginia Legislature will have some enter
tanning things to Guy about the use OF
money In Virginia elections. The general
public will have more respect for and con-
fidence in the motives of the Governor If
he will call attention to all classes Of cleo
ton frauds in the State, and to the wicked
election law which furnishes such unnum'
bered opportunities to a political machine
to commit all kinds of outrages upon the
ballot box, without any fear of punish
ment. Perhaps the Governor thinks 1t
would be a waste of time and labor to I'M
dertake to convince machine manufacl'
ured legislature that its creator IS an ini-
guilty that should be destroyed.

The South Has Plenty of Money.

Savannah News DEM
The South is receiving ample evidence
that there is far more money atioat within
her limits now than there has heen before
in many years. Cotton is being held Ill
the interior in quite large amounts. While
the crop is considerably smaller than that
of last year not nearly so much cotton is
reaching the poi is as there did in past
years when the crop was no larger than 1t
Is this year. In past years it was not pos
sible to hold the cotton in the interior, be-
cause the banks had not the money to
enable those owning it to DO so. This year
there is plenty of money for that purpose,
and it is not borrowed from New York. 1t
is money belonging, to the South. The
country banks have an abundance OF
money. Some of them have more than
they can lend on such security as they
want. and those that want money to help
hold cotton can get it, and do get it, from
the city banks. The fact is the South is in
a better material condition than che has
been for long time. The testimony In
respect to this State is that the farmers,
with the exception Of those of the small
section which has suffered from drought,
are in exceptionally prosperous condition.
1t is gratifying that it is so. There are no
more deserving people than the farmers,
and there woul'l be very general feeling
of satisfaction if they wtre even more pros
porous than they are.

the PRESIDENT AND THE CRITICS.

Ever since President Mckinley was in
augurated there has been certain class OF
newspapers and also a certain class of poll
ticians that have been continuously criti-
cising every policy he has originated and
every step taken by him to carry out that
policy. These newspapers and men have
insisted upon him doing precisely the OPP
posite of what has been done, contending
that his positions were wrong, that disast-
err would follow their enforcement, and
that he would lose the confidence of the
people as a final result. In the face of al
the severe criticism off partisan press and
opposition party the President has fear
lessly adhered to his policy, with an hon.
est purpose at heart, which has not only
won the admiration but the confidence of
the people. His position on the tariff
question has been demonstrated to be cor
rect as we'll as on the money question.
The same can be said of his foreign policy.
From the very beginning of our trouble
with Spain until the present time he has
made no movement that has not provoked
the hostility of the critics, but in every i'll
stance the results have shown that he was
right, and those who censured him were
wrong. At the very first opportunity to
do so the people accorded to President
Mckinley vote of confidence that has
never been equaled in the history Of our
Government. The elections on the 7th
inst. ought to stop the meddlesome crit
les, but they are perverse set and will
continue their ridiculous utterances until
another rebuke shall come in 1905

PERSONAL NOTES.

John J. Smallwood, president of the
Industrial and Collegiate Institute at
Claremont Va, was born a slave and
largely educated himself.
1t is said that Lord Roseberry has be-
come almost hermit. He spends most
of his time at his country houses and rare
ly visits London, except on Sunday.
Senator Thomas Staples Martin, who is
running for reelection in Virginia, is to
give a valuable collection of books on
State history to the University OF Vir-
GINA.
The University of Illinois has secured
the services of Carroll D. Wright, United
States Labor Commissioner, as special
lecturer in the department of economics
Cecil Rhodes, who is one of the richest
men in the world. went out to the African
diamond fields as poor boy with his
brother. Their whole fortune was in their
outfit, but from the first they "struck it
rich" Mr.. Rhodes is only 46 years old.
Lieutenant Winston Spencer Churchill,
the only son Of the late Lord Randolph
Churchill, is again acting as war CORE
spondent, this time in South Africa.
Though only 25 years old, he has been
through four campaigns, including the
present. The others were ill Afghanlstan,
Cuba and the Soudan.
Ex-senator John H. Reagan, the sole
survivor of Jefferson Davis Cabinet and
the orator at the recent Unwilling OF the
Davis statue at Richmond, is 81 years old,
but is still in good health and active in
politics. He is still at the head of the
Texas State Railway Commission. He was
born in Tennessee, and, as a mere lad,
walked all the way to his present home.
The recent innovation made by the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, decreeing that
uniformed employees should wear gold
stripes indicative of their length of service,
results in the greatest number Of these
stripes being claimed by Captain W. d.
Green, who has been an even half centu'
~ with the B. & 0. He began as a
freight conductor, but has now been a
passenger conductor for forty-eighr years.
He was never suspended and to-day, at
the age of 72, is in active service.
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1899-11-23

The significance of this table is plain.
1t shows that President Mckinley receiv-
ed this year the strongest vote Of conf
dence given to any President in q year be-
fore the Presidential election since and in
Guiding 1883. In that year five of the
eleven States voting declared continued
confidence in the Republican party. In
1887, when Cleveland was President, five
of the eleven States voted confidence in
the Democratic party. Four years later
when Harrison was President four of the
twelve States voted in favor of the Repub-
lican party. Again in 1895 only three out
of twelve States showed confidence in
Cleveland by!going Democratic. But in
1899 eight out of twelve States, or two
thirds, voted confidence IN President Nc
Kinley.
This is a striking proof Of the trust the
country has in the present Administra-
ton. 1t is a vote of confidence such as no
President has had for years. 1t is fully
justified, however, by what has been
achieved already and by the promises of
what will be achieved in the future.
