JUDGE PRENTIS AND THE
SUPREME COURT.

The tremendous industrial develop
ment and activity; the millions of dol
lars of capital invested and the large
property rights of Tidewater Virginia
deserve and demand representation
upon the Supreme Court of Appeals OF
Virginia
Nor is complaint made of the pres
ent personnel of the Court, although it
is the personality sought. but sought
on account OF his familiarity with the
local customs, conditions and manner
of doing business.
For this reason the Virginian-Pilot
has urged the election of Hon. r. II.
Prentis. OF Sulfolk. as member of the
Supreme Court of the State. And in
doing so. we have ever present n lively
sense of the Importance of the posi-
ton. There are few men so well fitted
by nature. by habit. by prepare ton. by
ability and by experience to adorn the
highest court in the State 1t is not
always in politics that journal feels
it is speaking the unanimous sentiment
of a community in requesting the ap-
pointment of an Individual, but the
people of Underwater" feel their need
of representative on the bench, and
are happy in having a man perfectly
fitted 10 represent them.
When the good people of this judicial
circuit were looking for a capable
Judge, Judge Prentis allowed himself
to be prevailed upon to give up n
lucrative practice and become a Cir
cult Judge mt small salary. Our peo-
pie now have an opportunity to display
their gratitude.
The public press and the Bar have
spoken, let the political organizations
do the same. One must hand up his
plate in the political world, however
deserving the cause!

the Legislature. Can it expect that u
Congressman shall be conceded to 1t
also? Is it not rather extravagant
demand to make? 1t is better to be
conservative in these matters. 1t is
certainly unwise to antagonize the
Democratic party in Virginia, where 1t
is all-powerful. and where 1t has never
turned a deaf ear to any reasonable
demand of labor, because one of its
candidates refused to support q bill in
the Legislature that the best lawyers
of the State say would have been de-
clared demonstrations had 1t ever be-
come u law.

A WORD WITH LABORING MEN

The withdrawal of Mr.. j. B. Flynn,
the Socialist Labor candidate for Con-
gress in this district, gives the repre-
sentatives of organized labor an oppor-
tunity to avoid the serious mistake Of
putting out labor candidate at this
time. The Virginian- Pilot warned la
boring men before the first nomination
was made that they were preparing to
take an unwise step; in view of subse-
quent events and the proposal to make
another nomination on Saturday night,
1t would now repeat with emphasis
that laboring men are going counter
to their own best interests in this mat
ter
1t is not necessary to say again that
labor candidate cannot be elected
The labor unions have no right to die
tate to their members in politics, and
they will not be able to do it. The Re
publicans have united onNVise, and any
hope of securing the support of the
.Bowden faction of that party is mere
moonshine. In short the whole move
ment SINNERS down to. an attempt to
defeat Mr.. Maynard, the Democratic
nominee.
This. we repeat. Is unWiSe, The
Democratic party not the Republican
party. is the friend of the laboring
man. Mr.. Maynard, the Democrat, not
Mr. Wise, the Republican. is pledged
t. measures that will benefit the work
ingman. 1t is not n question between
Mr.. Maynard personally and organized
labor. Mr.. Maynard is the candidate
of the Democratic party, and the re-
representatives. of organized labor par
ticipated in the convention that made
him the candidate. BY every honora-
BILE rule of politics they are pledged to
his support thereby
There is another phase OF this ques-
ton members of the labor unions
should consider: the Democratic party
has dealt generously with organized
labor in this city and county. Labor
mas had larger official representation
than any other class of citizens. Or
samzed labor has been for years con-
ceded a member of the Legislature
from Norfolk city. This city is now
represented in part by Senator Foster,
who is plumber, and by Representa-
1--we Lyons, VINO Is q tailor. Does this
show any disposition on the part of
the Democratic party hereabouts to
deny the claims of labor to representa-
ton?
The Virginian-P Pilot says to those
who are in this movement for a third
ticket that the men who have always
stood for every reasonable and legiti
Z mate demand OF organized labor are
impatient at the fight it is making on
the Democratic, party in this district
9jn a great national crisis, when a sin
s gle Congressman may have the decid-
Ing vote in the next House, determin-
ing the policy of the country for the
next two years. We warn the repre-
sentatiyes of organized labor that If
another candidate is put in the field
whether he accomplishes the object of
his nomination or not, organized labor
Will have made enemies of many who
( ere now its best friends, and who will
not hesitate to oppose the demands OF
labor hereafter.

COMMENT IN LONDON.

LONDON. Dee. t+.-5rhc adoption by the United States Nenatc of the Dav.s :tTlpIulunUt to the E-iauacrfyie treaty yesterday is; evidently regarded ;.~ far t,o WrgEty d matter for hurried commrut by the L.n@uu muruinss jour nuiS. Accordingly The Iiiucs and mot of the other papers will poStpune until tolnuryoW their editorial 1reaunrnt of the question in its present phase. The Daily Chronicr However, publishes @ short Iote. i'll which it s;y>:
 The news k very serious indeed. Ii means, ill word, that tn" jinEue> anI -Angophobes of the United States S>nat' have tIiumphcl and that We are hagl, again today where We were at The time of the Venezuelan inlhroGiio and Pr,.~.- dent tIVVeland'S inSulent aisu provocative speech. The better feeling manifested during the SpaniSh-Amrrirsln war has. been shaken hy pro-Boer syApath:c~, ana it is noa sWampeJ by self interest.
 The Americans intend tn fortify tEe canal in spite of the treaty enga cement to the contrary. We cannot possibly stand by and allew the Ctuyton-BulWrr treaty tt bc thus iulpe1iOusly set NS.ltr. The good relations between the two countries must. of necessity be GfaNe.y menaccd. This is the outcome of Mi. McIlinleys reelection. Worse couli uGGutS nave HdllttllGa II -AAl' AoLs <tLl A1ett been returned.
 The Daily Graphic remarks: We have no doubts as to the result. Angfo-Amer- jean craftsmanship will find an amieabie solution of the difficulty created by American jingoes. We fail to see, how ever, how the Clayton-Bulwer treaty can be got rid of without the Mosquito terri tories reverting to Great Britain
 The Standard observes: Tt is more of q rebuf for President Acl[inley's execll- tive than for Great Britain. England cannot possibly accept the Hay-Paunce- fote treaty thus amended, and 1t would be insulting to the people and govern ment of the United States to assume that they would either denounee the Clayton Bulwer treaty without offering an equitable equivalent or contemplate the gross illegality of disregarding ii. There will be time enough to consider | the slbrogation of the treaty when Wash ington formally tenders suggestion which would certainly be approached by i Great Britain with every desire to assist l the United States to carry out T project highly beneficial to American eonatneree. l but is cannot be supposed that We would 1 abandon our treaty rights without soild l consideration in return.
