individual members are concerned,
but the facts are there none the less.
The really sincere newspapers and
aforetime leaders who refused to sup

nominees in 1896 will be found back
in the ranks this year. fighting for the
platform that shall be made and the
leaders who shall be named at Kan

1t is TO be hoped, from any point OF
view that the trouble between the
Machinists' Union and the manufac-

fore the strike reaches national pro-

distress that so often attend strikes, a
strike of the machinists of the country

mendous strides in manufactures, and
the demand for machinery Is very

hich course will you take?

For seventy years the uniform and
unbroken custom OF submitting new
constitutions to n vote OF the PEOPLE
for ratification or rejection has been
observed in Virginia. Why vary or
abandon this custom? ARE WE
AFRAID TO TRUST THE PEOPLE?
Are the people less capable OF en-
frightened judgment. and patriotic ac-
ton now than heretofore? In denying
to them the right TO pass upon these
vital matters. are we not striking a
fatal blow at the fundamental basis of
government by the people? What
harm can result from our following
the precedents set before us for the
last seventy years? All considerations
OF prudence and wisdom would seem
to point TO the policy OF submitting the
work of the convention to vote of
the PEOPLE for ratification or rejcc-
ton. Our best safety rests IN that
course.

EDGAR ALLEN POE AS A SOLDIER
(R0ltimore Sun1

In the Alumni Bulletin of the Univer-
sity of Virginia. for February there Is
Il brief statement Of the results OF
careful investigation of the military re-
cord of T. A. Poe. the famous author
of the Raven" and many original
stories. Ii is shown by the records Of
the War Department at Washington
that Poe enlisted as private in the
United States Army, served nearly two
years with istinction.-attaining the
rank of sergeant major-and was nom
orably discharged. His enlistment
which took place three years after
Byrons death in Greece-was boyish
freak. prompted perhaps by books of
military adventure. He served under
the name of e. A. Perry, his right name
coming into the record only in connec-
ton with his offer of substitute. The
enlistment was at Fort Independence.
Boston harbor. May 26, 1927. Poe Is de-
scribed by Lieutenant II. Grlswold, who
enlisted him, as GO years old feet
inches in height. having gray eyes.
brown hair and fair complexion. He
was assigned to Battery II. First Ar
ferred to Fort Moultrie. S. c., and later
to Fortress Monroe, Va. Nearly two
years after entering the army Poe was
advanced to the n-commissioned
staff. having while at Fortress Monroe
showed ability that attracted attention.
On April IL, 1929. he offered substitute
and was hoEOrably discharged, having
at that time the rank OF sergeant
major. On July 1, 1890, Poe was adj
mitted to the Military Academy at
West Point and on March of the fol-
lowing year was dismissed by order Of
court-martial. The company roll shows
that there was no ground for the allie
CATION. made during Lincon's admins
tration. that Poe left the barracks at
Fortress Monroe and was absent some
time before his honorable discharge in
April, 1899. The university honors it
self by honoring the memory of its dis
tinguished alumnus. Its inquiries have
already brought to light various inter-
esting facts of his life, and 1t Is to be

What the moneyed interests induced
few Republican officials to trick Con-
gress and the President into doing in
1873 they are in 1900 strong enough to
COMPEL the Republican party to
openly give legislative sanction to. The
secret incubation of 1873 has pro-
duced such a diseased state of the body
polite and financial that only radical
treatment can be effective, and the

AT Edwardsvlle. in Pennsylvania,
there is man who is authorized by

to order mans arrest. arrest him, try
him, sentence him TO Jail, and guard
him while he is locked up. He is a
burgess of the town. justice of the

the Pennsylvanians permitted this one
man to corral five offices. when there
are not offices enough to go around

wonder.
