THE DIFFERENCE.

Kentucky cannot thrive under an cleo
ton law which Is warranted to elect
party fayorite, whether or not he be the
choice of the people. And according to
Colonel Wattcrson the Goebel election
law is that sort Of a laW.-Richmond
Times.
Well then how do you expect Virginia,
which is under the same election laW,
to thrive?-Spirit of the Valley.
The difference between Kentucky and
Virginia is this: In Kentucky there ara
few negroes. the Republican party being
composed almost entirely of respectable,
courageous white men who are In all
respects equal to the Democrats. In
Virginia the Republican party is COM
posed almost entirely Of negroes. We
speak of the State as a whole. OF course,
there are exceptions in certain locaii-
ties, and our Harrisonburg contemporary
will understand that in making this
statement we mean no reflection upon
the respectable white Republicans of the
Valley. The great body of white men
in Virginia belong to the Democratic
party, and there is practically no or
ganized political opposition to that party
For these reasons 1t is plain to see
why an election law Of the character IN
dictated may do for while in Virginia,
when it will not do even temporarily
for Kentucky. Politics is practically
all ore way in Virginia, and as there
has been no opposition to the Demo
cratic party there has been little oppo-
III 1, tJ,a
Democratic party made. Yet there is
great danger here in Virginia. Methods
which are used against the Republicans
are now used too often inside the party,
and there is no use trying TO- conceal
the fact that strong opposition has
grown up within the ranks of the party
Moreover, unless there shall he some
radical reforms in our election system,
lust as sure as the State stands there
will be split in the Democratic party.
with what result no man can foretell.
Party leaders see this and. therefore.
it has been determined to call a constf-
tlAtional convention to deal with this
question. It has been determined to
remove every obstacle which stands in
the way of fair elections in Virginia.
It has been determined in short, to
eliminate the ignorant negro vote, and
when that has been done there will be
no excuse for election trickery in this
state. and the occupation of the present
election law will be gone. Therefore,
The Times is heartily in favor OF the
Constitutional convention, and we sug-
cest to our esteemed contemporary, the
Spirit of the Valley. that in our opinion
| it will do the State a valuable service
and will aid in purifying elections IN Vir-
| GINA by giving this convention move
ment its support.

Of that which is already here
The Times has often said that It would

which provided for the creation Of

be composed of discreet men, who would
take up the whole question of taxation
and formulate some plan by which the

get her just revenue. We were also
heartily in favor OF the Glass bill. pro-

auditors. who should go in and out among

see that they were all discharsing their

belonged to her. But both of these Hsils
We're defeated. The Legislature would
ter mature elaboration, would sugges:
modern system of taxation. but in the
dying hours of the session this personal
property tax bill is sprung upon the SEN
ate and before anybody has time to read
i: carefully and consider it the vote IS
taken and the bill is passed.
The Legislature refused TO pass tho
Glass bill because it was said that this
would put spies on the office-holders of
the State. But 1t passes this personal
the affairs of private taxpayers and an
noy them and then write in a book for
the inspection of the public all that in
spying they have found out. 1t exon
crates the public servants and those who
handle the public money from any eff
fective accountability, but hires men to
hound the private citizen and expose his
personal business to the curiosity of all
the courthouse busy-bodies.
more detestable contrast between
what should have been done and what
was done has never occurred in the his
tory of Virginia, save when under the
infamous reconstruction acts the wisest
statesmen of the Commonwealth were
disfranchised and the corntield negroes
were given the right to vote.
The Underwood black and tan conven-
ton of thirty years ago did nothing more
sordid and radical than did this LeSlsia-

Governor has signed.

So long as there is a true Democratic
party standing upon those principles
which were handed down to us by the
patriots of old, Just SO long viii the Re-
publican party be held in check and the
Republic will be safe from those who
would change our form of government.
1t cannot be said too often that this is
the true mission Of the Democratic party.
It is the great conservative body Of this
country, and it is discharglng its duty
and performing its mission whenever. it
is fighting Repubi.canism, and quite as
truly so in defeat as in triumph.

CURRENT TOPICS.

Colonel Thomas Wentworth HlgSinson,
the veteran aboiitionist, soldier, lecturer,
and writer, has a golden word OF advice
for Young men in the March issue of Sue
cess:
1.-THE danger of being too changeable IS
especially. apt to predominant in a coun-
try like ours, where things are more in a
state Of flux, less fixed and settled than
in older countries, and where there are
more opportunities to branch out into
new fields. In England, for instance, If
one starts in some particular line, 1t IS
very difficult to get out of it, but here 1t
is a comparatively easy matter.
II should therefore. say to young peo-
pie: Beware OF the temptation to persist
in following an occupatio or profession
merely because you have started in that
when once you find that you are utterly
unadapted to it; and still more beware
of the temptation to fly from one thing
to another, to be constantly fiuctuatinS
in Your choice, for this will surely lead
to failure and disappointment-an incom-
plete life
That is all right, but bet the young
man be careful about selecting his gall
ing, and let him be careful how he
makes change. The man who runs
from one occupation to another VII! be as
the proverbial ,"rolling-stone that gathers
10 moss It is concentration and direc-
ton that count and bring results.
President David Starr Jordan, of Le-
land Stanford University, Palo Alto, Cal.
made an address in Chicago on Sunday
last on 1.-THE Blood of q. Nation
He said the present century would Wit
ness the downfall of Great Britain. and
that ultimately the people of South africa
would have their freedom. In emphatic
terms Dr. Jordan stated that the present
inhabitants of Great Britain We're mere
shadows of their forefathers in point OF
brains and health. He believed that q
nation which POUNDS its destiny Oh war
must reach Q speedy decay, because
great war saps the vitality Of the best
blood in the nation.
| War is undoubtedly brutalizns, but
DR.. Jordan is very far wrong when he
says that Englishmen are deterioratlng.
English character was never put to a
severer test than during the late re-
| verses to British arms in South Africa,
! but 1t was as firm and unhinching as
Gibraltar The moral courage of the na-
/ ton was equal to the emergency, and il
is that which makes a nation great
