entertaining show to all who attend. We
ioub, not that the promise will be made
good There is as much enterprise anu
local pride 10 the square inch III Danville

live men of the place get together and pull
together in any public undertaking, they
always make success.
Danyiiie is q show within itself. Its
great tobacco factories and warehouses,
It's extensive cotton factories and other
industries are always worth seeing. 1t has
first-class electric line, and Its principal

TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER Is. 1900.
WE ARE PER1LlNG EVERYTHING.

It is most unfortunate for the Interests
of the United States that the crisis in
China arose while the Presidential election
was pending. Mr.. Mckinley is essentially
q politician. and while sincerely anxious,
we have no sort Of doubt. to secure this
.country's interests at every point, ne
nevertheless has his eye upon the voters
and he thinks It much mora important
that he should be reelected than that the
peopl. of the United States should have
their own IN the East. The busaboo OF
imperialism gives him, in our opinion,
unnecessary uneas.ness, and he fears that
firm and strong policy in China Will be
used 10 his disadvantage before the voters,
and, therefore, it is that he has sent to the
Powers his latest manifesto.
1t was all right for him TO tell Germany
that he would no; take the position recon-
.nended by her, Of demanding the sur
render OF those responsible for the Chinese
atrocities as a condition precedent to peace
negotiations. But it was all wrong for
him TO intimate. as he plainly does, that
this Government proposes 10 enter into
negotiations with China al once .or a set
Element Of all matters OF difference be-
tween China and the United States, wheth-
er the other Powers concur with it in
ihinkin. that the best course to pursue.
or whether they do not. That is about

only be inspired by the fear that the i'm
peralists will draw off votes from him
If they can continue to say thai the Presi-
dent IS acting il concert with the crowned
heads of Europe in the Chinese matter.
Mr.. Mckinley should forget, n this Chi
nese business, thai there is any pending
election. The people OF the United States
have immense interests. present and fn-
ture, in China, and those interests should
be protected a; any and all costs. Co-ope-
rating with the other Powers. this coun-
try has dominating position that viii
certainly secure attention for all Q. its de-
mands, and that will secure protection Of
what concerns US. But If we separats
from the other Powers, and undertake 10
play our own hand by ourselves, it is
entirely possible that we shall be badly
left and that we shall lose everything in
China.
With the United States out Of the coal.-
ton, ii is entirely probable that England
can b. induced 10 assent 20 what Russia ana
Germany wish 10 Go. Russia wants to an
mex Manchuria. and Germany wants a
large slice of Chinese territory adjacent
1o her settlement kaiou-Chiou. When we
are out OF the coalition, it is not to be ex-
pec.ed that England Will stand up alone
against Germany and Russia. and she will,
IN all probability, therefore. abandon her
opposition to their designs upon being
given a large share of China as her part.
This is the ACKNOWLEDGMENT and division of
China, and the endging Of all our rights
and interests there.
We cannot conceive OF any considera-
tons that are sufficient 10 Withdraw US
from the concert of the Powers. With
them we are potential. out of the coalition
we are nothing.

bonds has advanced, sometimes almost to
a prohibitory figure. but when the de-
mand for currency slackens, or when the
banks would retire their notes and sell
their bonds. the price falls. 1t is i'm
possible. under such conditions, to main
tain flexible currency system.
q There has been great outcry for some
time past from certain sources against a
monopoly OF the currency of banks,
and there is some ground for the com
plant, SO long as the right TO issue notes
Is restricted to national banks. We be-
1ieve that the Government should go out
of the banking business, but we do not
believe that it should confer the privilege
Of issuing notes upon one class OF banks
and deny It to others. The country needs
a system by which currency will be based
upon general banking assets. That is the
true principle, and we shall never have
truly flexible currency, which Will issue
in time OF need and retire as the demand
slackens, until this principle is made the
basis OF our currency system.

mastering prosperity that ours will be

the same difference IN natural resources
existed between Germany and England as
does between China and England the
British statesmen would be confronted by
as gloomy future as could be imagined
But the iron and coal and cheap labor OF
China are not OF the same international
value as they would be II they were found
in England. From the foundation of the
world iron and coal have existed, and for
hundreds OF generations men used sharp
ened sticks and Clipped Hints. until the re-
sourcefulness Of some genius moved INTO
the larger field for metal weapons.
From the beginning of the world the
ocean rolled its wild e1pa1se between the
distan; shores, and the wind blew where
it listed, and the mariners waited in port
praying to the God OF winds, Eolus, or
any other God. for favoring gale, until
some one learned TO tack against the wind
and behold. the vast possibilities Of sailing
in any direction al Will!
And so to-day In China the establishment
Of great iron and steel works at Han
yang, the Chicago Of China, Goes not
mean any great revolution IN the iron in
aus;ry OF the world, for the Chinese are
following In steps OF the more advanced
nations, and following great way off.
The works are situated at one of the
greatest natural centres OF commerce in
the world Within few tens of miles lie
coal and iron ard limestone. On all sides
are to be found thousands of patient and
capable laborers Strikes are unknown,
the market is enormous ard the works are
operated al a loss. No nation and no man
can a, one minutes notice take up the
method Of life OF another nation or man
and hope by a single bound to reach Where
another has painfully climbed.

GENERAL APATHY IN VIRGINIA.

GENERAL APATHY IN VIRGINIA.
II NC may judge from the Weekly Press
OF Virginia. the paramount issue this
wear is trusts We receive at this office
nearly every weekly paper in the State
and we have examined these exchanges
of last week with a view to ascertaining
the drift or political sentiment in Sir-
sinia 1t is q notable fact that many OF
them, make no mention whatever in their
editorial columns OF the issues Of the cam
naisn. Some Of them refer briefly TO Mr..
Bryans letter of acceptance and let it go
ar that. A few refer to Imperialism and
n,ilitarism, but these subjects are not dis
cussea at length. AS for free silver, il.
any one OF these contemporaries feel any
,nteres, In that subject they dc not mani
fest il in their editorial columns. We
find no allu.s;on in last weeks issues TO
silver.
AS already mentioned, the Virginia ea-
tore seem to be thinking most about trusts,
IL we may Judge from their editorial eN-
o,ess:ons but the most striking fact is
that they SEEN to be taking little or NO
interest in national politics, although the
election is only a few weeks OFF This is
not surprising. For one thing, there Is really
no contest in Virginia this year, except
few of the Congressional districts. Again,
the people are getting along very well
and they are not to be frightened by the
aiacn2ists in either party. They are true
To The Democratic party. and if the Repub-
leans should make determined effort to
capture the State, the Democrats of Viz
g,nsa would arouse themselves and make
fight worthy of the cause. But they see
no occasion to get excited and SO they are
going about their business giving little
thought to politics.
