Generally the people are settling down
to the conviction that Senator Ciark's
act in procuring an appointment to a
seat just made vacant by his own res

has preceded it in securing his seat or

FARMERS, PROSPERITY.

The Marshalltown Reflector has an
article on Farmers Prosperity, in
which it tries to minimize the encour-.
aging conditions which prevail in ag-
ricuitural circles. There is discour-
aging tone about it. suggestive of a
hunt to find something to complain
about. 1t reluctantly admits that

ideal condition for one class but why

just as easy for the Reflector to ignore
all economic conditions and Jaws as a

adjust its politics to such a situation.
It IS true that it would have difficulty
in adjusting these prices. but no more
than it has now in trying to Ignore
present prosperous conditions. One
reason for this prosperity, if one may
judge by the Reflector, is that "repub-
lican organs" have gone around and
placed a prosperity tag on everything.
Apparently they are exercising more
power than the dreaded octopus"

TALKING UP A TOWN.
(Danvllle Register1

The best SERVICE the citizens of "a
town can do is to talk IT'S interests and
10 act consistently Herewith The most
enterprising cities and towns OF the
South and of the whole country are
those whose citizens are most loyal to
IT, everywhere and all the time, and
most public spirited. When the people
are proud OF their town, enthusiastic
over its achievements and advantages
ana hopeful for its future. the stranger
at once puts that down as live town.
IL he Is seeking a place to invest or To-
cate 1t is In such u town that he hangs
up his hat and unpacks his trunk. II
the inhabitants of Il town have an un-
shakable faith in It's desirability as n
place OF residence and In its future
growth and development. they impress
the stranger favorably. On the con-
trary, when he finds men running down
their own town, finding fault with 1t
and publicly criticising 1t or apologize
| ing for 1t the strangers faith finds no
inspiration. If town has anything to
commend 1t, the people who RESIDE and
nave their all invested there, and who
expect to live and die and be buried
therein should not be ashamed to show
their love for and loyalty to It, Every
Vitizens should be an optimist so far
as ms own town is concerned. at least
a pessmist Is but n croaker, a prophet
or EVIL who casts n shadow wherever he
| goes and to the extent of his ability
! chills the enthusiasm OF others. He
probably hopes to gain reputation for
superior wisdom by sneering at his own
town. when as n matter of fact he
merely arouses the contempt of strang-
ers. Ones town may not be the largest
In the country nor in the State. and 1t
Is unreasonable to expect 1t to contain
all that the larger cities offer of COM
forts and entertainments and public in
stitutions: but, 1t is -one's own town
and should command his commenda-
| ton. and not his condemnation. 1t is
there he gets his living. and 1t is his
duty as well as his own interest to do
all he can to promote it's prosperity.

good cheer it gives the people of Nor
folk to be their hosts with the hope
that they may find their visit n plea
sure to themselves. as we believe 1t will
he of much use and benefit to the State.
The Vlrgnian- Pilot has steadfastly
fought for an "amended constitution to
he submitted to the people for ratinca-
tion or rejection, it comes now to leave
1t all to the Convention. and it does so
with the full confidence that Virginia
will have an amended Constitution ra-
titled by the people.
The body of men composing the Con-
vention are representative men. Seldom
IS such an influential body brought to-
gether for political purposes. They are
fresh from the people and many in
structed as to the manner of their vote.
We trust to these representatives to
voice the sentiment of the people as
against any private or personal inter
est seeking to defeat measure OF such
great Importance and necessity.

NOTES AND OPINIONS.
WHERE WHIST IS NOT ALLOWED.
New York AdXertiserO

Progressive whist is one of the world
ly amusementS that come under the
ban of the Ocean Grove authorities as
sinful or inclining TO sin, and. there
fore. there can be no progressive whist
at Ocean Grove with the knowledge of
the authorities. and without pains and
penalties.
This fact was forcibly impressed on
the minds of a number of ladies in
Ocean Grove on Friday. They had got
ten up Il progressive whist party for
charity. and. when the party assem-
bled. it was to be confronted by the
stern mandate of the authorities pro-
hibiting the game. Thereupon, the Ia
dies marched in procession to Asbury
Park and there and then INDUCED in
the prescribed amusement.
This intolerance in purely social mat
tcrs is possible only under the peculiar
governmental conditions that exist at
Ocean Grove which. beginning as a re-
ligious summer camp meeting. has de-
veloped into n large town with II per-
manent population, not by any means
in harmony with austere ideas of the
Camp Meeting Association. 1t is a
question how long these peculiar con-

NATIONAL CONVENTION DELE
GATES

Delegates to the National Convention
at Kansas City should be selected
First, on account OF their party record
and standing; and secondly, on account
OF their belief and sentiments regarding
the principles of the party.
The Virsinian- Pilot does not even an
ticipate what the Kansas City Conven-
ton will do.
Judging the future by the past, we
believe, however, that the next nominee
OF the Democratic party will be VIM.
J. Bryan, and that the platform will
cnunciate those Democratic doctrines
that guarantee the greatest good to the
greatest number; that have the interest
of the People at heart, and which were
endorsed by the very founder of the
party-Thomas Jefferson.
If there is one thing that Democrats
admire, it is openness and frankness.
Let there be no trimming" in this
matter by the Convention which meets
ii this city to-day Let it go out to the
world that Virginia Convention has
met the issues before 1t squarely and
honestly; that 1t has expressed its con-
victions upon those matters in such a
manner that people know for what it
stands and for what they are voting.
and the principles of the party of
which they are members.
The party is supposed to be in the
interest OF the people. 1t is not there
fore expected to please those persons
who live and grow fat at the expense
of the masses. 1t seeks the greatest
good for the greatest number.
And we may say in passing. that if
the Democratic party of the State of
Virginia is going to cvade the issue.
it might as we'll say it is afraid of the
principles OF the party, and it might
as we'll join the Republicans There is
still Il Democratic party. and there are
still brave and true men to stand by
and defend it. 1T is the Democratic
party that has outivcd years of defeat
at the national Notwithstanding
stronger each year-for its principles
upheld it: and they are the principles
thct Will live long after the traduccrs
OF them are dead and forgotten.

RE-ADoPT THE BARBOUR CLAUSE.

The Virginian-Pilo had hoped that
the Convention for adoption to-day
would do away with the very objection
able trait Of Capitalization of power in
the State Central Committee and the
taking away of the peoples rights.
The old rules. adopted ut Lynchburg
and used by Chairman John S. Bar
bour during his regime, contained n
clause that left all local disputes to be
settled in the respective districts in
which they arose. BY some manner of
means, not even explained during the
late unfortunate Islands episode" (but
then brought most disagreeably to
Light, the "home rule" clause was
eliminated. thus giving the Central
Committee and chairman the power,
wherever the scmblance of n dispute
could be kicked up. TO name the
nominee in any district, regardless of
popular choice. And this is just what
1T means.
1t was confidently believed that the
present committee would profit by sex
ample and learn that not even the
divine right of kings" would prevent
the Democratic white people of Viz
ginia from expressing their choice and
voting for that choice But the com
mittee does not seem to have pronted
1t. therefore, remains for the Conven-
ton to protect itself and the people;
and we most respectfully appeal TO tho
Convention to disregard the recommen-
dalton of the committee in so far as il
increases It's power and takes away the
rights of the people
Let local disputes be settled at home
Let every candidate know that he must
appeal TO his constituents. and NOT TO
the State Committee
1t is sincerely to be hoped and most
confidently believed that the Conyen-
tion will put back into the rules the
clause providing that all local matters
of dispute concerning nominations shall
be settled by the District and County
Committees in which the dispute arises
Follow the advice of the Hon. Beverly
B. Munford and other men of his
ability. and keep close to the people"
That's the idea. The Virglnan- Pilot
appeals TO the Convention to rc-adopt
the old Barbour Clause" We fight
Cor the interest of the party and the
people.
