A FLING Al THE SOUTH.

The New York sun. which has never for
given the Southern States FOR the wrong
which the North did them. makes a mean
little fling az the South in commenting on
the results OF the recent election. 1t says
that in States OF the old Southern Con-
Sederacy. where the animostics Of the
civil war still dominate political sentiment.
an election, OF course, will express these
only"
What the sun means 20 say IS that the
Southern people will not hang their heads
and confess that they were wrong in ie-
Tending their rights In the great war
between the States. II is quite true that
the Southern people are not repenting
and recanting and that they have no
apologies whatever TO make for the. course
which they purscud, yet everybody who
knows anything about IT Is convinced that
war issues IN the South are dead. except
50 far as negro suffrage keeps them alive.
The sun Is an ardent supporter Of Presi-
dent Mckinley. and II It's editor will only
Interview the President as 90 the treat
ment which he received in Richmond dur
Ing his late visit. he will learn some things

THE JOURNAL DESERTS SILVER.

The New York Journal. which has boon
peculiarly the representative in the East
OF the free silver Democracy, reads the
party a lecture on the result of the re-
cent elections and declares tia the policy
which the party is now pursuing, II con-
tinued in the national campaign next
year. will inevitably result in disastrous
defeat. 1t says that If the party IS to
have a future lit must turn its face to
the front and cease grubbing among the
ashes of dead issues" II suggests as a
platform destruction Of criminal trusts:
no protection for oppressive trusts; public
ownership Of public franchises: a gradu-
ated income tax; election Of senators by
the people; currency reform; expansion
without Imperialism
The interesting part Of his is that the
Journal advises the party, in so many
words, to drop free silver and substitute
therefor currency reform" 1t declares
also in emphatic terms that the party
is losing by Mr.. Bryan's TRADES against
expansion. II says that it is probably
true hat the Philippine question will
have been retired before the campaign Of
1900 is fairly on, and that II the leaders
now commit the party to n policy that
will be totally obsolete before the Presi.
dental campaign begins they will leave
themselves nothing to fight for when the
crisis comes. "Worse yet" it goes on.
every act Of folly and perversity such
as this discredits a party and renders It
permanently weaker"
Generally speaking we do not attach
much importance TO what the New York
Journal says. except so far as It indicates
the popular trend. The Journal took up
free silver I'm 1896 because free silver was
then popular. and 1t established itself by
standing in with tie crowd in that event. |
ful campaign. But the journal Is now
sensible enough 10 see that free silver
has had its day and that the people Of
the United States will not tolerate the
proposal to call OFF our forces from the
Philippines while the air is still redolent |
OF the smoke Of battle. 1t also sees that |
as a business proposition the people are
unwilling to give zap the advantage which

There are two things for the Demo
party TO do. The first is to repudi-
ate Populistic heresies and get back on a,
Democratic platform. The sec

THE LESSON OF VIRGINIA'S ELEC-
TION.

There was one incident Of the election
last Tuesday which has not received much
attention. but 1t IS probably the most i'm
portant one TO the people OF Virginia Of
all those connected with It. except. Of
course. the proclamation that Ohio sent
out 10 the world that free silver and
Brvanism are no longer live issues.
Tn Incident VIC refer to rs SO important
TO the people Of Virginia is the defeat Of
Mr.. Boykin by Nv Stands for the State
Senate in the Isle OF Wight district. The
state Committee OF the Democra ic party
heard the contest between these two and
decided that Boylin was the regular party
nominee. and # called upon all good
Democrats TO vote for Boykin and scratch
Stands.
The district IS one Of the heaviest negro
districts in the State. where the suprem-
acy Of the Democratic party is supposed
to be vital % the very lives of the people.
NevertheIe s. when election day came. the
white people bv their almost unanimous
action repudiatcd Boykin and voted for
Stands. and the strange announcement is
made that Toykin's vote was almost
wholly given by the negroes.
Here are two astonishing things. First,
that the white people Of the district
should have cut the party nominee, and
second. that the Democratic nominee
should have got what negro votes were
cast. The charge is openly made that che
negro vote was bought.
But tina question aside; how did the
white people Of this negro district conn
to cut the party nominee and vote for
an independent? The answer is plain
enough. The Democratstof southampton
resented the arbitrary ruling of the politi-
cal machine and they rose mp in their
might and rebuked 10. They will not wear
the party collar and they will not tolerate
tyranny and bossism. There are thous-
ands and ten thousands OF Democrats in
other parts Of Virginia who are just as
independent as the Democrats OF
southampton. and the party leaders will
do well to bear that fact in mind. There
is a lesson from southampton. and as our
neighbor the Dispatch has well said. there
IS a lesson from Kentucky. Goebelsm
was rebuked in Kentucky and it will be
rebuked in Virginia as occasion demands.

THE DAVIS NJ

Now that the Daughters Of the Com
federacy have undertaken the work of
tuilding a monument 10 President Davis,
it goes without saying that the monu-
mcut Will soon be erected. We do not
mean to reflect upon those devoted Con-
federates who have had this matter in
hand. but the women Of the South are
in a better position than the men to raise
the necessary funds. They have more
time 10 devote to the work and when they
make an appeal the men never turn to
them the deaf ear. 1t is a great under
taking. but the Daughters of the Con-
Gederacy are equal to it and they will not
fail.
1t has been suggested time and again
that a monument be erected to the wo-
men Of the Confederacy. The Davis mon
ument will b. their monument, and the
only monument that they desire.

CURRENT TOPICS.

Our readers will be interested to note
the following evolution of a Joke. Soon
after the Danville riot in 1883 one of the
men who was doing police duty on the
outskirts OF the city saw an old negro
come out of the bushes, torn and hungry
and generally demoralized. lie entered
into conversation with the Old fellow and
asked him If he was a Republican. lie
got this reply. Nor, boss. l ain no Pub

went the rounds of the press. Five or

sense of humor he laughed over it hearth
iy and when he got back to Richmond

and once more II went the rounds of the
press
Last year when the Democrats of North
Carolina We're making such a fight against
the negro party the story was revived
and once more related through the col
umns OF The Times. Again it went the
rounds, was printed IN many Of the lead
Ing papers Of North Carolina, and on sew
eral occasions told from the stump by
Democratic orators. We had thought that
that was the last Of the story, but 1t has
been resurrectod for the third time, and
