TO THE sTAY-AT-HoME VOTER.

The stay-athome voter. or the fell
low who takes to the woods" is
mainly responsible for bad government
in city. State and nation. He is nearly
always q man of intelligence. lie is
nearly always Il newspaper reader and
knows what the questions ut issue are
and what sort of men the candidates
are.
He is more often than not n man who
knows the right and does not do it,
A citizen fitted to discharge n citizens
obligations, he shoulders these obiga-
lions upon less competent persons and
then grumbles that they are not prop
erly discharged.
There are several hundred stay-at-
home voters in Norfolk, and few 9TH
ers who will take to the woods
Some of them propose TO abstain from
voting because they do not fully APP
prove OF the platform and candidate OF
either party. On that account they
nre willing to trust the selection of the
man who will control the destnics of
76000,000 people for four years, to the
men who will sell their votes for 81
bill-for 1t is a notorious fact that stay
at-home voters are more numerous
than purchasable voters, and they yet
permit the latter TO exercise the bal
nnce Of power where honest men are
equally divided
Most of the stay-at- home voters in
Norfolk are men who sag they are
Democrats but cannot subscribe TO the
financial views CT MIR. Brayn. Some OF
them are opposed TO Mr.. NIcf<inleys
open disregard of the Constitution and
reputation of the Declaration OF hide
pendencc. Mr.. Bryan Will carry Vir-
GINA whether they vote for him or
against him. That does not excuse
them from the fulfllment Of a citizens
duties, but it obscurcs. in O. MEASURE
the necessity for fulnllment.
This excuse does not apply 70 tho
case of the Democratic nominee for
Congress in this district He IS q
Southern Democrat. and the fnyorlte
charge of the stay lat home Democrat
against Mr.. Bryan-that he is a "Wes-
tern Populist'-docs not apply To sir.
Maynard. a vote for him is not vast
cd. Every vote is needed II you pro =
pose to stay at home to day because you
don't like Mr.. Bryans silver coinage
views, and think he will pay United
States bonds in silver but are not will
ing to stand for Mr.. McNinley's Impc-
rinlism. why don't you show the faith
that is in you by voting for the Demo
cratic nominee for Congress-? Mr.
Maynard may be able, with his Demo
cratic colleagues. to force return to

OUR MERCHANT MARINE.

The subject of American shipping is
one which will occupy the attention
of Congress at this short session. There
was a time when the United States
commanded the Atlantic with her
Ocean clippers, and there We're more
American keels furrowing the Pacific
fifty or sixty years ago than ever there
were of any other nation. The position
at the present moment stands thus:
The United States has made such Won
derful strides as an exporter of dome
site merchandise that she is now on
the point of leading the world yet in the
province of Ocean shipping she is only
a third rate nation, as the statistics of
the Naval Bureau show.
This fact may be a surprise to many
but it is a fact, and when an unpleas-
ant fact crops up it may be as we'll to
face it. Bradstreets' devotes nearly
three columns to the subject. OF the
change in relative proportions of ship
ping it says:
THE documented tonnage of the
United States comprised 23333 vessels
OF 5,l64,S39 gross tons which repre-
sents an increase of about 300, 900 tons
over the preceding fiscal year. This
is the first time since the Civil War
that the tonnage exceeded 5000, 900
tons though it is worth noting that it
falls below the maximum tonnage
reached in 1851 by almost $4,000 tons.
At that date the shipping of the United
States was larger than that of Great
Britain and almost equal that of
the British empire, but today the Brit
ish shipping amounts to 14261, 900 gross
tons"
The chief portion of United States
tonnage is engaged in the coasting
trade. Last year, 4,SSs, las tons, which
is more than the total Of German and

The Mormon celebration is quite an
event. The number of Mormons on the
islands is quite considerable. What
ever criticisms there may be upon the
Mormon church in Utah, as far as we
know the Mormons in this Territory
they have proved an industrious, clean
living and well behaved people. That
George Q. Cannon, who planted Nor
monism here should return after fifty
years to join in the jubilee celebration
is a remarkable incident, and it is to be
hoped that the long journey may not be
hurtful to the venerable pioneer.

In commenting on the recent divorce
scandal, the New York Law Journal
the official paper of the courts, says
that divorce lawyers as a class are dis
reputable. "Of course" the paper con-
tinues, at is possible for lawyer to
make a speciality of divorce cases and
abstain from dishonorable practices.
The bench and bar and more intelligent
lawyers are, however, we'll aware that
divorce lawyers as a class are shysters,
and that all suits in which they appear
are subject to legitimate suspicion"
Hanging round divorce courts, even for
other professions, is not very reput-
able occupation. Sooner or later it al
ways resolves itself into prufiency.

The snub which Kruger has received
from the Emper"~ Of Germany will
dampen the ardor of that willy leader.
OF course in France he met with a
brilliant reception because the French
wanted to work off their venom against
England. But the French assistance
to the Beers has consisted of wordy
sympathy without any tangible result.
The guerrilla methods of warfare
which Kruger has practically urged,
are looked upon as unjustifable by the
Germans.
