FARMERS INSTITUTES.

In our news columns the Virginian-
Pilot has recently noted the appropria-
ton of a sum of money by the State for
the purpose OF holding Farmers In
stitutes." Many persons who have
never attended n Farmers Institute
have no idea of the nature, objects and
benefits of the gatherings so styled.
The object of Farmers Institutes is
to assemble together the agriculturists
OF the districts where they are held.
both males and females, children and
adults. for the purposes of open dis
cussion OF practical farm topics by
those present, including lecturers on
farm topics who are specially engaged
by the Department of Agriculture of
the State for this purpose.
The diversification OF crops is fav-
failure of one crop there will be other
crops that yield return to the farmers
The breaking away from sole allegiance
to the one great staple OF cotton. and
the raising of grain. stock and fruits,
has kept at home in many of the South
ern States vast aggregate sum Of
money that was formerly sent to the
North and West for these necessaries.
AS diversiiication of crops has become
more general in the South the standard
of living has been raised because the
farms produced meats. fruits. vegeta-
bles and other crops in diversity and
abundance.
The subject of Farmnrs' InStitutee is
OF special interest ut this time, as one
of these meetings may be secured for
the agriculturists OF this section il they
desire 1T. That our rural readers may
get an idea of Farmers Institutes, as
they are being conducted under the au-
spices of our State Board of Agricul-
ture. we publish in our news columns
an occount of that held on Thursday
last at Keysville, Va.

THE PERENNIAL LOVE OF SPORT.

All the newspapers yesterday morn
ing printed long accounts of how Bob
Fitzsimmons and Gus Rubin pounded
one another according to the rules CT
boxing, before big crowd at Madison
Square Garden.
The newspapers printed the account
of the fight because nine tenths of the
people who read newspapers, wanted to
know all about 1t. The average man
looked for the fight about the first
thing when he picked up his news
paper. Therefore. the newspapers put
the account where it would be easy for
him to find it,
There are three wars going on. Men
are killing one another in South Africa,
| in the Philippines. in China. The
shrewdest diplomats of the world are
playing for the hazard of the worlds
most populous empire. The best fight
ing men of the nations are assembled
to force their way to the capital OF
that empire. But the average man
wanted to know. il not first. then at the
same time. how "Fitzsimmons put
Rubin to sleep in the SIXTH"
The man who was not an average.
but who is Sporty" did not wait for
the newspapers to appear. He went to
the newspaper offices to hear the fight
read round by round, or he called them
up over the telephone. and asked how
the fight was going? Possibly once q
week somebody calls up to ask about
the war in China. That is the differ
ence.
After campaign of unparalleled ex-
element and heat in n neighboring
State. the crowds turned away from
the election returns to scan the bulle-
tins announcing which of the baseball
teams had scored victories. and which
had gone down in defeat
The conclusion is obvious-man is n
natural lover OF sport" He likes poll
tics and war well enough, as pastimes.
He likes baseball and prize fighting
even more.

COL. TAYLOR'S ARGUMENT.

Col. w. II. Taylor. president of the
Marine Bank and n director of the
Norfolk and Western Railroad Com
pany, in his speech before the Board of
Harbor Commissioners. on Friday,
took occasion 10 say that he did not
want 1t to go to the world that this
harbor Is already filled up. and that
there is no room in it for further en-
terprises that might desire TO come
here.
In this admirable sentiment every
citizen of this port will join. But to
continue filling up the harbor. how
ever. is not n wise way 10 prove that
1t was not already filed up. TO allow
a coal pier of~pearly a half mile long to
be extended out into the harbor may
be a convincing demonstration that
the harbor Is not yet filled up; but
that is a singular method of showing
to the world that fact
There Is a sort OF wisdom that leads
boys to finger buzz-saws to see If they
are turning, and to blow into gun bar
reis to see II they are loaded The re-
suits are historic. The wisdom that
would prompt this port to advertise to
the world the width OF Its harbor by

allowing somebody to build a coal pier

allowing somebody to build a coal pier
across 1t is of the Same brand.
Norfolk has room in it's harbor and
plenty OF 1t. There Is no objection to
the Norfolk and Westerns obtaining
fair share of that room and building
as many piers as 1t may want 500 feet
shorter than it's present long pier. and
dredging back to them; but to be al
lowed to extend out n coal pier nearly
one-half of mile straight out toward
the channel is more than n fair share.
To decry all opposition or objection
to the application of the Norfolk and
Western Railroad Company to run out
a long pier to the Port Wardens line,
and even beyond that line, on the plea
that 1t would indicate to the world
that this harbor is already filed up, is
an idea so entirely new and so sur
passingly dazzling that it's brilliancy
is binding.

COL. LAMBS PROPOSITION.

Colonel William Lamb proposes to
post Il forfeit of $4,000 that the pres
ent coal pier does not. and the proposed
pier at Lambert's Point would not oh
struct navigation, if the Virginian-P
lot will post like amount OH the other
side of the proposition. He will ask
the Secretary of War. he says, TO APP
point n commission OF Engineers to ex-
anime and report on the matter; their
report TO be decisive.
This n very lamb-like and bland pro-
position. Possibly Colonel Lamb re-
Sarded 1t as utterly without guile. We
do not. The Nirginian- Pilot several
days ago protested against the con
cession to the Norfolk and Western
Railroad Company. whereby it would
be enabled to get permission from the
Secretary of War to extend it's pro-
posed new pier into the channel. 1t
gave It's reasons-that the Norfolk and
Western is largely owned by the Penn
sylvania railway, strong political al
~ of the Administration. The Vir-
ginian-Pllot Gas Colonel Lamb will
readily concede) is not an ally OF the
Administration, The Norfolk and
Western, through the Pennsylvania
railroad. has a pull with the Admin
istraton. The Virginian- Pilot has not
1t does not mind saying that it would
not care to risk $4,000 on the impair
tiality of any commission named by
the Administration or the Secretary of
War. Along With the rest of the coun-
try 1t has observed the work of some
Administration Commissions. and ii
has not been filled with admiration
1t is not disposed to submit any mat
ter. In which it is interested. TO the ar
bitration of it's enemies.
The Virginian- Pilot said plainly that
it did not believe the interests of this
port could be safely left to the sole dis
erection of the Secretary of War, be-
cause of the influences that could be
brought to bear in favor of the Norfolk
and Western for the proposed conces-
sion. 1t has not changed It's opinion.
Certainly. then. 1t would not now be
willing 10 see the interests OF the port
turned over TO commission appointed
by the Secretary of War, for the re-
port of the commission, should 1t favor
the Norfolk and Western. would insure
the road the concession for which il
contends.
We have every reason for being full
ly impressed with the fact that the
Norfolk and Western Railway Com
pany, backed up and owned by the
Pennsylvania railroad, has n ire
mendous pair on the present Secre-
tary of War, and the Hanna Admins
tration; and, therefore, can afford 10 put
up rcry big money on The result; but we
hardly expected that Col. Lamb would
make such an open and public demon
stration of that fact.

AS an example of how little 1t takes
to start Mckinley organ to frothing,
and OF how little its frothing is worthy
the consideration of sane minds, note
the following from the New York Mail
and Express touching the adoption of
the suffrage amendment in North Caro-
lima:
by this monumental crime against
liberty and justice the electoral vote of
North Carolina has been absolutely
pledged TO Bryan. He is doubtless
proud of his victory
And vet this suffrage amendment
does not so into effect until July, 1902.

philadelphia Enquirer, Rep.)

The speech in which Mr.. Bryan re-
sponded to the formal notification of
ms nomination as the Democratic
candidate to the Presidency is remark
able chiefly for what it does not con-
tain. 1t consists of long and labored
elaboration of the proposition that the
United States cannot exercise jurisdic-
ton in the Philippine Islands without
contraVening the principles upon which
our governmental institutions are es-
tabiished. Some part of the argument
by which Mr.. Bryan seeks to maintain
this doctrine is ingenious and plausi-
Bile. but it is in the main too rhetorical
and insincere to convince the inte!li-
gent mind. It Is. moreover. open TO
the serious objection that 1t is ad
dressed TO an imaginary situation.

COUNT wALDERSEE TO
COMMAND.

The selection by Emperor William of
Field Marshall Count Won Waldersee to
command the German forces in China
and the report that he is acceptable
10 the Powers as q COMMANDMENTS
Chief of the allied army, produce u sit
uation that is unpleasant for the
United States. Either the Administra-
ton must assent to the program OF
Emperor William proclaimed in his
Bremerhaven speech to the departing
German soldiers, Spare nobody" or 1t
must put itself in the attitude of
standing out alone against the Ger
man officer who was undoubtedly
named by Emperor William with n
view to his selection as head of all the
foreign forces.
This is another instance of the din
cuities attending the role Mr.. NIcIlin-
ley is assuming to play in the East. 1t
is reported that Waldersec will not be
acceptable to Washington until there
has been elaboration of Germany's pro-
gram and some modification of Emper-
or Williams instructions. The reia-
tions of this country with Germany
have not been any too friendly for the
last two years. How will Emperor
William view the sole opposition OF this
country to a German Commander in
Chief? a miltarist pure and simple.
inordinately devoted to his army, will
not Emperor William consider It an
| affront? He will. of course, not con-
slider 1t n casus belli. but he is certain
to resent 1t. thereby disseminating the
strained relations OF the two countries.
1t is also interesting to inquire
whether the other Powers who favor
Waldersee will yield to the opposition
of the United States. Should they de-
cline to do so. the situation of the
American forces would be far from
| pleasant.

The Nireinian- Pilot desires that con-
cessions be granted ior as many piers
as the Norfolk and Western wants at
Lamberts Point, so they stop eight
hundred feet short Of the Port Warden $
line; but no LONG PIERS to obstruct
navigation and injure our harbor for
no other reason than to save the Nor
folk and Western Railroad Company

piers and dredging out, instead OF
building one long pier out in our har-

cities on this Port.

INDEPENDENCE WITH A STRING
TIED TO 1T.

There has been. since the terms of
the Paris treaty were made known, n
good deal OF skepticiSm as to the pur-
pose of the Administration to live up
to the pledge OF Congress to give Cuba
independence; nor has that skcpticism
been in the least abated by reported
declarations from authoritative quar-
ters that this pledge will be respected
1t is only lately. however, that the
method by which the fulilmcnt of
the promise made to Cuba and to the
world has been made known. Cuba
is to have. in effect. the same sort of
freedom that n prisoner has in the
penitcntiary compound. Thus, the Gu
bans have been instructed that they
viii be permitted to hold a constitu-
tional convention in September, but
here are the restrictions:
Il. The foreign relations of Cuba to
be managed through the American
government at Washington.
"2. Cuba to have no power to de-
clare war without the consent of the
United States.
%. The United States government to
have n veto power over legislation in
creasing the Cuban debt beyond GER
tain limits TO be set forth in the new
constitution.
"a. The United States to have n GER
tain well-defncd supervision over the
Cuban treasury.
20. The United States to retain for
a period of years, ii not indefinitely,
control of the Notifications which
command the port OF Havana and
other important cities of the repub-
lie"
Evidently independence" in these
days of Imperialism and executive de-
clarations OF war is n thing of most
dubious meaning and import. Possibly
this is the sort of Independence" that
is to be preserved to the republic. that
Freedom" as n possession of the indi-
vidual American citizen, is to undergo
this same radical transformation. and
the citizen Is to remain free to pay
his taxes serve his required term in
the army and vote In accordance with
the dictation of the politico- military
boss OF his district. Verify, will the
dictionaries have to be revised If old
familiar terms are to be Ineligible
under new conditions. Freedom. in
dependence, the Constitution, Christi
anity, civilization, progress. all have
come under this blessed Administra-
ton to have new meanings. and oppo-
site meanings, to those uniformly at
tached to them in the past.
To return TO this precious Cuban
scheme-it is plain that st is the pur-
pose Of the franchise grabbing. trust
cabal which controls and finances the
Republican party to do unto Cuba rs
it did unto Porto Rico. There will be
no independence for Cuba unless
cleaner and more honorable men shall
come into control of this government
for the Cubans cannot help themselves

More important than anything in the
speech itself is the spectacle presented
by such speech being made at all by
the chosen representative of great
political party-a party comprising
something like half the voters of the
United States. This may not make in-
perialsm the paramount issue" of the
campaign. but it settles once and for
ever the claim so persistently set up by
administration newspapers that anti
imperialism" is merely the fad of a few
malcontcnts and Il few "intellectuals. -
