CIV. THE pARTY.

The members of .the National Demo-
cratic Committee have lately been in
conference in Chicago, and it is given
out that free silver will continue one of
the leading planks ia tho next National
Democratic platform. If the men who
are now I'm charge Of the party's affairs
shall have their way it seems quite clear
that this will De done. Chairman Jones
and his immediate associates said that
the free coinage of silver was necessary
10 the prosperity of this country, and they
seem determined TO stick 10 it i'm the face
OF the fact that the greatest prosperity
which the country has ever known has
come under the gold standard
NJ Jones and his associates seem de-
termined. If they can. to put the Demo-
cratic party once more ON the Chicago
platform and fight the battle of 1896 over
again. But we have lingering hope that
these men will not Doe permitted TO have
their way We know that thousands
upon thousands OF the very best men i'm
the Democratic party are opposed Co pur-
suing this suicidal policy and We at least
hope that wise counsc,s will prevail and
the party viii Doe saved from destruction.

While The Times has upheld the delin-
muent tax law. we have always saved
fine point hat the law did. i'm some cases
work hardships Indeed we go so far az
TO SAY that i'm a few cases which have
come under our observation the law has
worked gross injustice. For example
am old woman living i'm Richmond had
little home out in Henrico county upon
which the taxes had been regularly paio'
with o. solitary exception for eight OF
ton years. For some reason she was de-
linouent for one year, but it was an over
sight. She went on paying her taxes
was never notified of her delinquency
and bv and boy the lanl-grabber hed
an application to purchase the property
for taxes.
An attempt was made, so 1t IS SAID 10
serve notice upon her, but she was not
found. and so notice was made by publ
cation. The old woman never read "a
newspaper. perhaps was not able to read
Al any rate she did not see the notice
and did not know that her property was
delinquent, that it had been bought IN
by the State and that it was about to- be
sold TO the land-grabber.
Indeed. she does not now know that her
property has been sold for taxes be-
cause her friends who have the case in
hand have kept it secret from her The
only way that her friends found out that
the property had been sold was through
publication in one of the local papers OF
the transfer to the land-graober.
We say that this is scarcely less than
a public outrage This old woman owed
the state about seven dollars I'm taxes
and she was ready and willing to pay
her Indebtedness, if she had been pre-
scented with a bill. but the bin was not
presented and she has been deprived Of
her home for which she paid with the
savings of a life time for the sake OF
this insignificant debt TO the state 1t Is
not necessary 70 say that this is a wicked
perversion of the law. The law was not
designed 10 deprive any man of his prop
erty. but only 20 compel the delinquent
to pay his just dues to the state The
defect is not in the law but i'm the execu-
ton of it. Notice should have been serV-
ed and the old woman should have ha'
abundant opportunity TO pay her deIin-
ouent taxes and save her property from
the land-grabber. Ne shall not here at
tempt TO point out the remedy for this
dciect. but we do say i'm general terms
that a remedy must be found. The PEG.
ple OF Virginia will not tolerate such
gross injustice as is manifested n the
case which we have cited.

The interesting question which the war
in the Transvoal presents az the present
time is what indications Of its final re-
sult do the operations up 20 this point
present?
In splte of The frequent successes the
Boers have met with we cannot see that
indications 20 far hold out the smallest
prospcct OF final success TO them. AS a
matter OF fact. The campaign so far has
been complete failure upon their side
The theory upon which they went into
me war was that they would rush the
British garrisons in the country before
they could receive succor from home
and oyerwhelm them with superior num-
bors and make them prisoners before any
relief could reach them. But the Stub
born and obstinate defense that has been
made by the English at each point at
tackled has upset all of the Beers plans
and nulnded an of their calculations.
They have made a dead failure Of what
they started out to accomplish. They
have not taken a single point besieged,
and except for the lootng forays they
have made into undefcnded territory,
the military situation IS just the same
to-day as it was when they threw their
ulumatum in Queen Victorias face.
