Very few people can afford to buy
cheap groceries. Consuming such
goods is carrying on a protracted
campaign against ones health.
That form of slow suicide is folly
to be avoided. Our groceries are
high quality and reasonable in
price. We can sell close because
we sell largely. Our customers get
their innings from our activity.
We are never headed in the race.

Pivotal State Figures.

PlNOtd1 Stdte Figures.
II there Is any law of political
oscillation, the Washington Tim es
is Of the opinion the two most typi-
cal pivotal states should swing back
into the Democratic column this
wear. Reference Is had to New York
and Indiana. Indiana was Repub-
llcan in 1872, Democratic in 1876,
Republican in 1880, Democratic in
1884, Republican in 1888, Demo
cratic in 1892, and Republican
again in 1896 on the electoral tick
ct. New York was Republican In
1864, Democratic in 1868, Republi-
can in 1872, Democratic in 1876,
Republican in 1880, Democratic in
1884, Republican in 1855, Demo
cratic in 1892, and Republican in
1886. Just what causes have con-
tributed to this curious oscillation
would be difficult to say. Each
state has been abnormally favored
in nominations by both parties, and
yet each party has suffered defeat
in both states with "favorite sons"
upon the ticket. The Republicans
had an Indiana candidate for presi.
dent in 1888 and 1892. and the
Democrats went to Indiana for the
tail of the ticket in 1876, 1880 and
1884. 1t appears that Indiana pol
itics are to a great extent controlled
by the sentiment of the voters in
the two neighboring states Of Hi
nois and Ohio. New York, though
apparently less infunced than Indi-
ana by the nomination of candidates
who are citizens of tn at state, had
a presidential nominee on one oil
the party tickets in 1868, a presi
dent and vice-president in 1876, 8
president in 1894, a president anc
vice-president in 1888, and presi
dent and vice-president again in
1892. tits coptended by some men
who regard the mselves as political
philosophers that changed politica
conditions arising from the admis
sion of new states and thelarger rep
resentation of western common
wealths, as we'll as from the new
lines of political division In the
country at large, have deprived
New York an Indiana of then
former primary as pivotal states
and IN the presidential election o.
1896 the two closest states in the
country were Kentucky, overwhel
mingly Democratic for many years
and South Dakota, which was rails
ed TO statehood in 1889. Two Other
close states that year were Kansa!
end Oregon, and tw oprobably clos'
states this year will be Maryland
and Wyoming. There are no long
er in important doubtful states any
preliminary elections, such as form
erly made Pennsylvania and after
ward OHIO and Indiana pivota
states. Rhode Island, Vernon
and Maine, which are reliably Re
publican, hold state elections in ad
vance Of the national contest, ant
Louisiana, Arkansas and Alabama
which are just as strongly Demo
cratic as the other three states
named are Republican, hold theil
state elections in April, September
and August, respectively. But the
withdrawal of the uncertain states
from the list of those in which dis
puted state contests were held in
advance of the general election hal
restored 10 q great extent the pol
iiical equilibrium between thu
states.

Prolix articles, editorislly and
otherwise, are being published by
he State press snent the deplorable
condition of the Virginia penitenti'
ary. II the statements are true,
there is just cause for Indignation
and harsh criticism.
Prisons, It is true, are pisces for
punishment-not for persecution
out the punishment the law con-
templstes is the term of confinement,
hence the length of the sentence Of
court is Requested By the gravity
Of the crime perpetrsted. The Law
does not design that prisons should
be places of torture and suffering
The conference.-the taking away
Of ones hberty-is the penalty the
law demands. And it is the in
tent Of the law that prisons, their
condition and environments should
be as comfortable as it is consistent
with the legitimate object Of prison
life to make them. The fact is, there
is a steady tendency in this country
toward prison reform IN the msnsge.
ment OF criminals, their humane
treatment and the provision Of whole
some surroundings. The more cor
servstive class of our people recog-
nizs the fact that criminals are hu-
man beings, and they should not be
penned up in prisons like cattle TO
die from filth ana disease.
The great trouble is that our pen
itentisry is overerowded, the yeniils-
ton is imperfect and the sleeping
hunks are inadequate. Compared
With the penitentiaries of some OF
the Northern and Western States our
State prison is q stigma upon Vn-
ginia's fair name. The subject is a
most serious one, and it should be
brought to the attention of the nexr
L gislature. which body should take
prompt action to provide the needed
relief.

In HIS message to Congress
President Mckinley made no sllusiOn
TO the suffrage laws of the outhern
States. This is q sensitive point,
and, no doubt, the course OF the
President was pursued premedi-
lately and sdvisedly. II is an indi-
cation, at least, that the President
desires to make bis second term an
era of good feeling and not an op'
Dortunity to revive sectional AMI =
nosities by thrustiDg Objectionable
measures upon Congress. There
may be some who wish to bumillste
the Southern States by reducing
heir representation in the national
government, but it is questionable
whether the number Of those rsdi-
cal psrtissDs is sufficient TO pass
any such law. o, course, the Dem
ooratic members would be sohdly
united in their opposition to sny such
party legislation. Such s status Of
affairs is highly gratifying from &
Southern viewpoint. This lsudsbl q
setion of the President eau only result
10 good. tits only the South-hater and
The radical partisan who clsmoss for
unjust and discriminating laws. The
present session of Congress will have
an abundance Of serious work to Go,
snd the more conservative members
will recognize the fact that it would
be unwise to dilly-dslly with ques.
tious that would revive sectional
feelings. Its safe TO predict that
the South has nothing to fear from
the present snort session Of Congress.
