WHAT MAKES A TOWN.
Richmond Times.

That which more than any thing else
distinguishes this age of progress from
the dark ages of the past is the exaltation
of the individual. In olden times the in
dividual counted for little; the govern
ment was everything. 1t mattered not
that the people were poor and oppressed;
it mattered not that there were no public
institutions of learning. that there were
no asylums for the afflicted, that there
were no public charities; it mattered not
that thousands and thousands were slain
in battle, provided only the government
might be strong and able to resist its
enemies from without and within. The
prevailing idea was that men were made
for the government and were the slaves
thereof.
But when our forefathers came and set
tied in America, the ruling principle with
them was that the government should he
tor the individual and that his good should
he matter of public consideration and
of greater consideration than government.
They said that the function of govern
ment was to protect the individual in his
personal political and religious liberty,
and the work which those great and grand
men then inaugurated revolutiOnlZed the
civilized world. The mother country, not
fully realizing conditions IN this country
and not fully approaching the principle
for which these men commended, attempted
to trample upon their rights, and the
war of the Revolution came. 1t was in
deed revolutionary war 1t revolution
lied this country, and more than that,
it revolutionized Great Britain. The
British learned from the Revolutionary
war that the surest way and the only
way to retain the good will and loyalty
of their colonists was to give to the colo.
nists local seIfgovernment and the great
est personal and religious liberty possible.
The result of that policy was to strength
en- the ties which bound the English
colonists to the mother country, and from
that day to this English colonists have
been as loyal to Great Britain as English
men to the manor born.
This great principle of individual exal-
talion has spread all over the world, and
it will continue to spread until the Amer
lean idea becomes as wide as the earth
itself.

Literary Death Bed.
London Globe.l

London Globe.
A correspondent is proceeding in lit
erary journal concerning the use of death
bed scenes in fiction and on the stage.
The question is asked whether it is right
to act death on the stage, or describe the
dissolution of soul and body in the pages
of novel. If death is to be rigidly omit
ted we must sacrifice many of Shakes
peare's plays, while Thackeray and Dickens
would be only two of the great masters in
the innumerable host of novelsts con-
demned to perpetual banishment from
pUlite libraries. Nevertheless, the ques.
ton is worth arguing, because the modern
actor and the modern novelist seem to
take a morbid delight in rendering the

THE ATLANTIC UNION.
An Interesting Project for Making
Americans at Home in England.
London Times. !

London Times
The Authors Club last night enter.
tanned at dinner at their clubhouse in
Whitehall Court several of the members
of the new organization known as the At.
antic Union. This body, which is com.
posed entirelyof members of the English
speaking races, is of a social character
and aims at Offering hospitality to any
colonial or American visitors to London.
The union has already number of men,
bers. The chair was taken by Lord
Monkswell, and among those present
were Sir C. Walpole, Sir Walter Besant,
Sir ]. Kennel Rodd, Mr. Evelyn Ashby,
Mr.. E. w. Brabrook, Mr.. Reid Lewis
and Mr.. P. w. Clayden.
The chairman, in proposing "Success
to the Atlantic Union" said it was in.
tended to draw closer the bonds between
England, her colonies, and the United
States of America. With regard to
America, the union was absolutely deter
mined that they would never in any
shape or forn interfere with the Ameri-
cans in their internal affairs. There was
no political significance either on this
side of the Atlantic or the other about
the union. If, regardless of any conse-
quences to themselves, they were deter.
mined, even in the face of popular impa.
thence and strong popular feeling.

THE wholesale Acknowledgement of the
colored vote of the South will, at the next
re-apportionment by Congress, certainly
cause a reduction in the representation
of this section both in Congress and the
Electoral College. Then there will be a
big kick by the Democracy, though it is
confronted with the provisions of the
Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitu'
ton and knows that part Oh the Constitu-
ton is being wilfully and deliberately
violated.

In an editorial, under the head of
"America's Best Policy" the Richmond
Times of the 25th inst, says: "We said
the other day that we would be glad to see
a square fight this year between protection
and the Democratic principle Of tariff'for-
revenue-only." The Times must be an1-
ious to join in fight in which it would
certainly be defeated. That issue was
fought over in 1892, and the tariff for-rev-
enue-only side won. The people remem-
Der what followed. The bitter experience
of the people under Democratic tariff is
too recent to be forgotten.

The so called anti-imperialists held a
meeting at Cooper Union, in New York,
last week. Though the hall is not hard
to fill it was not filled, and the meeting
in point of numbers was sore disap-
pontment to its promoters. Carl Shurz
had been advertised as one of the speak
ers. He usually draws well, but on this
occasion did not draw. The country Is
disguised with the men who are trying to
embarrass the Administration in its Phil
ippine policy and lend encouragement to
the insurgents.

THERE will be another election in Ken
lucky for Governor next fall. Under the
provisions of the State Constitution Beck
ham can remain Governor until the next
general election. The Goebelites, no
doubt, regret that there ls such a provis-
ion in the constitution, as it will necessl-
tate repetition of the crooked work by
which they have gained control Of the
State. Coming along with the Presiden-
tial election next Fall it may be that
frauds to some extent can be prevented.
II il understood that the Republicans will
re-nominate Taylor for Governor.

We heard Democratic friend remark
a few days ago that if the constitutional
convention carried and the negro vote
was eliminated from politics in Virginia,
the Democrats of the eastern part of the
State would be lost, that their occupation
would be gone. He said they had grown
so accustomed to stealing negro votes that
with the opportunity or necessity removed
they would be like Othelio, their occupa'
ton would be gone.

IT is amusing to hear some of our Demo
cratic friends talking of the recent decis'
ions of the Supreme Court of the United
States in the Kentucky Governorship case,
as if it was vindication of the Democracy
The wish mo doubt is father to the thought,
and it requires great stretch of the
imagination to place any such construction
on the courts decision. 1t is more to the
point to say, that the Supreme Court held
that it had no jurisdiction to punish the
Kentucky thieves.

THE Kansas Democrats have held their
convention and not only sent delegates to
the National convention instructed for
Mr.. Bryan, but instructed them to vote
for no man for Vice-President who is not
now a. I'D has been in complete sympathy
with the Chicago platform. There is no
doubt that the Populistlc element is now
running the Democratic party in enough
States to absolutely control the National
convention. So we may look for the
adoption of a platform at Kansas City
that will be the Chicago platform intensi-
fed.

THE gold Democrats are very anxious to
have the free silver issue left out of the
platform to be adopted at the Kansas City
convention, and insist that a platform
shall be made on the live issues of the day.
Who ever knew the modern Democracy
to be alive OH any live issue? 1t is always
looking backward and raking up old issues
to 90 before the people upon. The free
silver issue was Anticipated, but Bryan in
fused good deal of life into it.

HEAVY AMERICAN LOSSES.
100 Killed, Wounded and Missing in
Philippines in Ten Days.

Manila, Sept. 24.-The insurgent DEM
onstrations last week prove to have been
more extensive than was at first report
ed From Cagayan and Isabella prov
inces and the northwestern districts of
Luzon come accounts ofinsurgent opera
tons and American precautionary meas
ures. Merchants in the province of Al
bay are getting their hemp to Manila
as rapidly as possible, fearing that other
wise it will be burned by the insurgents
At Iloilo there was considerable ankle
ty lest an uprising should occur, but the
insurgents there are ceasing their ac-
tivity and returning in white clothing
to the garriSoned towns of the district.
AS a resumption of insurgent operations
is considered quite probable, the Ameri-
cans there are taking the necessary
steps.
The American casualties in killed,
wounded or missing during the last ten
days approach 100, including SinilOan at
the east end of Laguna de Bay, where
the insurgents after the enga cement,
delivered ten bodies of our dead.
Documents captured in Manila show
that the insurgents activity in this
vicinity was ordered by rebels here, fol-
lowing instructions from the Hong Kong
junta.
Senior Buencamino has received from
AguinaldO an answerregarding his peace
proposals. Aguinaldo declines to con-
slider them and declares that he Is un-
willing to agree to a compromise.
