swANsoNIAN DEMOCRACY

The Charlottesville Progress thinks that
the party collar in Virginia exists only
in the Imagination Of those who denounce
II and would have The Times to "be ex-
plicit"
Congressman Swanson said at the recent
meeting of the state Democratic Commit
tee that to be a Democrat was to submit
ourselves to the dictum of the state COM
mittee.
Every Democrat. therefore. who meas
ures up to Mr.. Swanson's standard wears
the party collar. Could anything be more
explicit"
Now let us be explicit in negative
way. In reply to the swansonian detni-
ton of Democracy. the Democrats Of
southampton said.
1--WE are not willing TO obey The dictates
of any part Of the party organization
when it attempts usurpation Of power or
attempts TO enforce a law Of its own
creation which denies 10 the majority Of
the Democratic voters in any section the
right TO decide for themselves who shall
De their representatives in any position"
The Democrats who adopted that resolu-
ton do not wear the party collar.

GETTING GAIN.

We print elsewhere communication
from an esteemed correspondent who COM
plains that this Is an ago Of greed and
gain" both as TO individuals and corpo-
rations. That IS quite true. but not pecu-
liarlv true OF this age. Man IS not moro
greedy in 1899 than he was when Jacob
swlndlod his brother out Of his birthright.
In an ages and among an nations and
tribes there has been the Same desire to
get gain. and some have prosperod at the
expense Of others. There are greater pos
sibnities in this day, the field is broader,
and tho opportunity to get rich is TO more
mon than ever before But tho desire for
gain is not greater than IN days that arc
past. Indeed, there never was m age
so generous as that in which VIC live
Money was never put TO such good uses,
there never was an age in which charity
wac disbursod with such lavish hand.
VIC hear a great deal about the extrava-
eance OF government, about the pomp and
splendor Of miilionaires. But if our cor
respondent read the text of the Sunday
school lesson last Sunday he must have
been impressed with the extravaganza of
the King Ahasuerus, who gave feast to
the nobility and afterwards a feast last
inc a week TO tho people at large, and
he must have noted that Prince Hannah
offered to pay the King in silver money
a sum equal 20 sixteen million dollars IN
United States currency for the privilege
Of putting "a whole nation 90 death.
This is not bad age. il is the best
age that the world ever knew. There are
more millionaire than ever, but there arc
also many more men in moderate circum-
stances. and. comparatively speaking.
fewer paupcrs. We hear great deal
about the hard lot of the plain people,
but when were the plain people so well
to do? When did they have so many
privHeg g. when did they enjoy so many
Of the comforts and Injuries Of lite?
There is not day in the year when the
plain people Of America do not enjoy if
they viii a more luxurious feast than
that which King Ahasuerus gave to his
subjects. Every American citizen is
sovereign, and is dependent upon no king s
bounty for his feast.
As for greed, it is a vice ana It is
sending many a man to his doom. But
the desire TO get gain is not in itself
wrong. 1t IS in Gods providence, the
incentive TO action. If man did not desire
TO improve his condition, to outstrip his
neighbor. 10 get riches and honor. there
would be no enterprise ana no great
achievements. The whole world would
soon be consumed Of dry rot, and man
would descend to the level Of the brute.
Have dominion is a divine decree, ana
that IS the Genesis Of rivalry.

Undoubtedly the round robin" protest
Of the cores Doudents. published in July
was largely responsible for the removal OF
the censorship. The authorities have in-
sisted that 30 Instructions have been sent

The Atlanta Constitution is much inn
pressed with the excellent financial ex-
hibit which Virginia is able TO make and
thinks that Georgia will do well to study
the Virginia way. 1t says:
Many lectures OF Auditor Marye's re-
port possess special interest. Not only
has the STATE purchased $4,000 of her
bonds at cost of about $4,000 Tor re-
tirement. but the manner in which she
was enabled to accomplish this is of in
terest. The amount brought into the
treasury during the fiscal year under the
provisions OF the "land-grabbers' act"
was $4,000 as against $3O00.A in 1886;
S43.6S0.50 IN 1897, and SO, 25s.4 I'm 1898.
As a result of the legislation of the
last two sessions Of the General Assem-
bly, the State was saved $4,000 in crimi-
nal expenses. The saving this year will
be something Ike $4,000 This reduction
in this particular branch Of the expenses
of the commonwealth Is largely the re-
suit OF the change in the law which now
requires misdomeanOr cases TO he tried
by a justice Of the peace instead OF by
county and corporation courts. Prior 10
this reform the criminal expenses in some
of the counties were enormous. The
criminal expenses in 1896 were S37S, 29l.57,
or over $1,000 day.
This IS a good exhibit and speaks well
for the administration OF the Democratic
party, which has been in power for fifteen
years. Some Of our machinery Of gov
eminent IS clumsy and expensive par
tioularly as 70 our system of county gov
eminent, but it cannot be denied that the
States affairs have been honestly and
efficiently administered.
IL Is well enough, also. 10 note how well

WHERE WE SHALL STAND.


We DO not think that the people Of the
pursd States generally understand very
Ees rly the quarrel between Great Britain
tnt the Beers. but 1t is gratifying TO
b. American people to learn that our
stste Department and the President have
both made declarations which show Eng
and that she will have the heartiest
syrnpathy Of this country in the expected
war. it Is very clear that England Is
the Transvaal's sovereign, and the ground
of dispute really is whether her Sover-
eighty is to be respected or whether 1t
Is 10 be fiouted as the Beers please. Un-
doubtedly, the complaints Of British sub
,ects in the Transyaal are producing
marked effect In England and upon the
mind of the English Cabinet but at last
when she marches her soldiers upon the
Beers. it will be for the purpose OF COM
polling unconditional submission TO her
authority, and as the contest has as
sumed that shape, she must fight It out
40 the last stage OF her own existence
will be at stake. She can no more permit
one single Boer TO dispute her authority
than she could permit the Englshmen
who dwell in Kent county 10 do so. There
IS in effect a rebellion in her Boer terri
tory, and that rebellion must be crushed
with British authority oheerfully recog-
nized and submitted 10. or England, her
self. must go out Of existence.
The announcement, therefore, that she
Is raising a force doubiy as large as any
that the Duke Of Wellington ever COM
nanded when crushing Napoleon, need
not be a matter of surprise. She is noti~
sying the world in raising this great force
that she will fight the world in arms,
before she will allow one single boer TO
dispute her authority, for she must be
prepared to maintain that position or the
British Empire must 80 to pieces.
