Diplomacy" he says, -is no sboemak-

a knee strap and put a patch on hole;
diplomacy Is not a craft which can be

tiles from the collection Of taxes for
the support of schools. The court
refused the injunction and disclaimed
jurisdiction in the matter.
Justice Harlan said that the edu-
cation of the young had been remit
ted to the several States and should
be generally left TO their control. The
Court had not been able to discover
that the Supreme Court of Georgia
had erred in refusing to grant an in
junction. The School Board was
confronted, he said, with the neces-
sity Of closing the colored high school
and turning the high school build
ing over TO the negro children of the
primary grades, or leaving the latter
without educational facilities. The
court failed to see that this was a
violation of the fourteenth amend
ment of the constitution. 1t was also
remarked by Justice Harlan, ia the
course of his opinion, that TO close
the public schools attended bv the
white children and thus deprive them
of educational facilities would not
aid the colored children in the least.
The evidence, he said, indicated that
the County Board had acted in per-
feet good faith.

FOR IRVINGTON.

Ihe CITIZEN wants to see better
means of communication between
the eastern and western sides of this
village. Theonly methods of reach
ing points between Irying's side and
the wharf have been by boats across
the cove, or by the road passing the
churches. 1t would be very easv
matter to make better connection
and We purpose holding consulta-
ton shortly with our towns people
on the subject. 1t seems to as that
the best method is by foot-wharf
between DIR. Newbill's and Robert
Georges landings, and between Can't.
W. L. Messick's and Capt. Alex.
wlnder's landings, each walkway
to have small draw for the passage
OF canoes. If any one has a better
suggestion let us hear it next Tues.
day nights at the Chesapeake Academy
at which time and place We hope the
people of this village will congregate
to discuss the subject.

BRYAN IN RICHMOND.

Hon. William Jennings Bryan add
dressed an immense crowd i'm the
Academy of Music, Richmond, on
Monday afternoon. The famous
orator was introduced by Hon. T..
w. Saunders in an eloquent address,
which won much applause.
Mr.. Brysn's address was along the
line he usually follows. Several promi-
nent Democrats on the stage re-
marked after it was over that it was
the strongest they had ever heard
him deliver.
1t cannot be said that Mr.. Bryan
was in good form, physically. His
voice was at times husky. That he
has been greatly taxing his strength
during the past few weeks was
evidenced by the fact that he was
much exhausted when he concluded
his address.
Mr.. Bryan said in part; "Three
issues are now sharing public atten-
tion-the money question, the trust
question and imperialism.
GAS to the relative Importance of
thee questions men are divided.
think the difference due somewhat to
the extent to which they have studied
them.
''Those people who have studied
the money question several years,
realize that the great financiers who
are behind the gold standard are also
back of every other abuse.
81 find there are others who have
come into contact with industrial
trusts aud realize that it is a
danger, but who have not yet learned
the connection between the money
trust and the industrial trusts.
1.-The question of imperialism is
more easily understood than any
which has come before the country
In recent years. 1t deals with the
elementary principles of government.
There are many who realize that inn
perialism attacks our theory of gov
eminent, who do not yet realize the
danger arising from the gold stand
ard and private monopolies.
son all these questions the Re
publicans are on the defensive. |
think the Democrats will push the
fight all along the line"
There were as many outside the
Academy of Music waiting to catch
a glimpse of Bryan as he came out as
there were in. Mr. Bryan seems con-
fident that the banner of victory will
this year wave DER the columns of
Democracy.

WHITE STONE ROAD BILL.

The CITIZEN has refrained from
commenting on the bill now before
the legislature providing way for
raising road funds in White Stone Dis
trict because it is matter of indif-
ference to us as to how these funds
are to be secured to cover the deficit
existing. That these claims are to
be paid goes without saying, and
that we, the people of this district,
will pay them, is equally certain; so
if the Board of Supervisors and Com
monwealth's Attorney think the
method they have advised the best,
we can see no good grounds for OBJ
lection. 1t is to be regretted that
the acts of some are calculated to
besmear the integrity of the county
and thwart the intents of her Super
visors. In the past they have dis
couraged payment of these just
claims, and recently they have melted
others to object to the passage of
the relief measure. We rereat that
it is utterly immaterial to us whether
the bill becomes a law or not, but if
it is now withdrawn or defeated, 1T
does not shift the responsibility of
the district or relieve it Of existing
obligations, but it will simply be an
evidence Of the fact that there are
those among us who can marshall
some support when they stoop to
low planes in their efforts to affront
others.
While the CITIZEN does not care
to endorse the measure it cannot re-
frain from re-echoing heartily these
sentiments from the Watchman of
last week: eff White Stone district
has gotten the benefit in improved
highways, the bill should become a
law, SO as to empower the present
Board to maintain the credit of
Lancaster, and reimburse our mer-
chants and others who have banked
Oh the credit of Lancaster. =
Let us show cur progressiveness by
holding mp the hands of any man or
set of men whose aim it has been to
keep our county abreast of any in the
State in the matter of first-class high
ways"
Small dealings and quibblings
should be frowned upon by our people,
for life is too short and the needs OF
the hours too great to waste time
over the strifes and prejudices of
petty political pimps.
