1t Is purely a family fight. and one
not free from bitterness. In the first
place. the people of this city remember.
only too well. the Legislature and the
members that elected Martin for the
Senate. If there ever was hot Lee"
city 1t was Norfolk. One could hardly
find a Martin man upon the streets;
and when 1t was known that a Norfolk
vote had gone for Senator Martin.
committee of citizens visited Richmond
and had uncomplimentary things to
say. Those stirring and exciting times
are not forgotten. and although an "in-
vestigation" followed. it was but an
investigation" at last, leaving behind
1t a bitter determination to bring out
the whole matter when the time came.
Such a time may never come: indeed
st Is now history, and sad history for
old Virginia; for the people were dis.
satisfied. and cried aloud against the
Senator-elect bewailing as much the
defeat OF the gallant Fitzhugh Lee as
they did the choice" by the Legislature
OF "A Midnight Tunnels Candidate"
The memory of the manner of Lees
defeat for the Senate has ever since
ranked in the bosom OF the people, and
they have longed for the chance to
"even up" Some say that Tyler wait
ed too long about coming out; but be
that as 1t may. II a fair chance is
given, neither Fitz Lee nor Tyler will
be ashamed OF the vote cast against
Martin. 1t is clear that candidates for
the Legislature must announce before
hand, their choice for Senator.
Right upon the heels of this fight is
the fight between Young and Col.
Boykin, of Smithfeld. for Congress Col.
Boykin is Senator Martins spokesman
and right-hand man, and has. in and
out Of season. diligently fought for his
friend.

(From National Watchman.)
The Standard Oil gag is now to be
put on all the professors of that pc
troleum-soa institution of learning
known as the University of Chicago.
John ID. Rockefeller, the university's
patron saint, wants no more antitrust
talks coming from the members OF the
faculty. Mr.. Rockefeller thinks trusts
a good thing and considers it. unbecom-
ing in his pensioners to refer to them
in sighting terms. Moreover, he has
decided this talk must stop or he will
screw the lid on his bari.
Dr. Harper has already ordered the
gag applied. 1t takes the form OF q cir
cular letter. has been sent to each and
every professor. and is officially signed
by George S. Goodspeed, recorder of
university. 1t is as follows:
while it is the privilege OF every
member of the university to entertain
whatsoever opinion he may choose con-
corning controverted questions of pub
lie interest and to express that opinion
In any proper way and on any proper
occasion. 1t is nevertheless desirable
that great care should be taken to
avoid involving the university, even by
implication, in such controverted mat
ters.
ions On such subjects should be scru-
pulously disassociated from all uni
versity relations so far as possible, that
by such scrupulous regard for the good
standing of the university in the opin-
ion of all classes real freedom of speech
and of action will be promoted"
OF course. no mention is made OF the
subject of trusts or the dangers of
concentrating great wealth, but each
professor can easily read these things
between the lines
To make the ukase still more bind

Harper's all-powerful cabinet-will

SENATORS-SCANDAL.

1t Is grave and serious thing to
believe that there is corruption in the
choice of Senators. The breath OF
scandal. wreakng with charges Of
bribery and log rolling" have too
much a scnblance of truth to be pass
ed by unnoticed. The outspoken will of
the people has been too often defeated
for one, to sit supinely by and believe
not. that things are, that should not
signifies scandal" Prior to the last
election of United States Senator in
this State, the fair eScutcheon of the
Old Commonwealth had been free and
pure. That is too recent an occurrence
TO require details. The good people OF
Virginia. and the people of Norfolk in
particular, remember only too we'll how
members changed their politics in a
day-maybe in a highland cast Il vote
for Martin when they were expected,
by conhding constituency, to cast
that ballot for the gallant Fitzhugh
Lee. Some of those members have
reapcd the harvest they deserved at the
hands of the people. but the Senator
that received their votes still retains
his seat in the U. S. Senate and now
seeks reelection.
1t is true there was investigation"
by the Legislature. 1t is true that the
people arose in their Indignation and
get?
For the first time in the history of
Virginia. whatever may be said of
other States. there is a sad blotch upon
her Senatorial history. The press and
the people boldly demanded, and had,
an invest igation. Are the good people
| of Virginia, and particularly of Nor
folk, going to let slip them the chance
of showing again the Indignation evil
denced by them during the session of
the Legislature that elected Mr.. Thos.
s. Martin Senator of the United States
Al this moment the most active work
is going on in his behalf. Every in
fluence and effort is being extended to
carry Norfolk-always a strong anti
Martin city. Let the good people of
Norfolk awake to the situation, and IL
they are not for Tyler let them be
against Mr. Martin.
1t is we'll to suppress party dissension
when possible, and never we'll to ex-
plot domestic difficulties in the public
press; but there are events that should
be remembered. and incidents, even in
ones own PARTY, worthy of being con-
demned as well as those worthy of
praise. ] is sincerely to be hoped that
the people of Norfolk will not forget
the Legislature that elected Mr.. Martin.

BRYAN'S CRITICS.

Now and then some sniveling critic,
whose only source of inspiration is hie
own conceit, looms up before the pub
lie with the declaration that Bryan
is running himself by speaking all over
the country" If that were true the
critic, if wise. would allow Mr. Bryan
to proceed with his work of self-de-
struction without a word of admonition
or ccnsure. But it is not true.
No man wcakens or ruins himself by
speaking the truth to intelligent peo-
pie. Mr.. Bryan is a man of flesh and
blood and likes TO meet his fellow man
face to face and instruct him in the is
sues confronting the people of the
United States. The time has passed
when great men. leaders and teachers.
coniine themselves to their Offices or
homes. and depend on reaching the
people through indirect agencies. Mr..
Rryan's heart beats in sympathy with
the great public heart; lie is a states
man whose intellect is vigorous. well
balanced and cultured. whose motives
are patriotic and pure. and who. there
fore. has cndeared himself to the people.
Mr.. Bryan has Il mission 10 perform
and is too brave to shrk Il duty. He
sees in the restoration of silver TO the
people the only PREPARATION for the
wrong perpetrated upon them by I'M
scrupulous financiers: he sees in gov
crnment-protcctcd trusts n great me-
mace To the prosperity and liberties of
the people: he secs in the incomc-tax
the just and equitable method of tax
alton; he sees in the abandonment Of
war in the Philippines, and in the re-
storat ton Of peace. and the endowment
of liberty in the land, the only hon
orable conclusion of an unholy war. ana
the only course consistent with the fun
damental principles on which our gov
eminent is founded and have ever been
its sure foundation. and knowing the
true relation of these things to our
national life he dares instruct the peo-
pie.
Mr.. Bryan is stronger with the peo-
pie to-day than when, in 1896. he re-
ceivcd a majority of the Impoverished
and intelligent vote OF the country. and
what. made him the choice of the peo-
Pile then, makes him their choice now.
and will make him their choice next
year.
The men who presume to criticise
him and predict his sclf-destruc,ion on
the hustings. realize that unless the
tide of public opinion can be diverted
in another direction. the people by an
overwhelming majority will. under his
leadership overthrow. the corrupt ad-
ministraticn 1t Washington and restore
government of the people. by the peo-
pie. and for the people, as our fathers
administered 1t.
