NO REVOLUTION NECESSARY,

The Virginian Pilot notes that GER
tain of its contemporaries take the
ground that it Will require political
revolution to elect Mr.. Bryan to the
Presidency. There is absolutely no
foundation for. that assumption. So
far as a political revolution plays any
part In this campaign. the Republicans
Will be the beneficiaries. They won
by DOODLE and n political revolution in
1885, and to-day their only hope OF
winning is in Doodle and protracting
the lines drawn by that revolution.
AT no time since 1876 has 1t been
necessary for the Democrats to have
political revolution in order to win in
Presidential election. At no time
since then have they been without a
majority of voters in the States that
control the complexion OF the Electoral
College. At no time since then have
the Republicans had enough votes to
elect their candidate. They have won,
when they have won at all, by Demo
cratic indifference. disaffection or re-
volt. by money contributed by the pro-
tected interests, by splendid organiza-
ton and the sharp practices of un-
acrupulous politics.
1t is just so to-day. New York, In
diana. Illinois are Democratic States
this year; so are New Jersey, Della
ware and West Virginia. let who may
get their electoral votes. If the Re
publicans carry New York they will do
so because of Democratic disarfection;
| If they carry Maryland 1t will be by
the same means; if they carry Indiana
they will have to do it by the lavish
use of money.
We have said before, and we repeat.
that 1T is only necessary 10 poll the
| Democratic vote 10 elect the Demo.
cratic nominees. This implies and nee
essitates no political revolution, hut
merely n return to normal party con-
ditions. That there will he a partial
return to normal conditions is certain.
that there will not be a complete re-
turn is equally certain: Whit incre-

THE CRINAMAN AT BAY.

For the threatened revolt in Southern
China, the Powers OF Europe arc di
rectly and wholly responsible. For two
months the Capital OF the Chinese En-
pire has been in their hands, and the
Emperor, Empress Dowagcr and their
court have been fugiIivcs in their own
country from the victorious army Of
the allies. Pekin has been given up
to the pillage and loot of riotous SOL
dicry. and the Inhabitants have been

OF life. The capture of forts. the oc

the situation that stands out more
prominently than any other Is the
eager avidity with which each Power
seizes. the pertnacity with which it

which it turns loose. TO every discern

plain that the objective of each OF the

A PLEA THAT HAS NOTHING TO
DO WITH THE CASE.

The Southern Bell Telephone Com
pany claims that ii raised its rates in
this city because II was losing money.
Before the Telephone Committee of
Councils on Wednesday it asked for
another months delay, that it might
be able to prove to that committee that
pose to submit any statement in
'crifing to prove this; the committee is
to "tnufc representative" to come
down from New York and tell it by
word of mouth, and, preferably, by
secret. how the Bell Company is losing
money in Norfolk. This representative
might be person of flexible veracity,
hired for the occasion, for all the Tel
ephone Committee will know about it.
And, in order to afford this dubious
parsonage n private scance. the whole
matter was postponed to the 23d in
slant.
In fact 1t is none of the Telephone
Committees business, and it is abso-
lutely no concern of Councils, whether
the Bell Company is making or losing
money in Norfolk or whether the Bell
Company is charging a lower or higher
rate in other cities. That has nothing
to do with the question, or the merits
of 1t. The question is: "Shan the City
Keep It's contract with the Southern
States Telephone Company? Shall il
treat the Southern States, the Southern
Bell and the American Telephone Com
Danies all alike. or shall 1t discriminate
in favor of the two latter coInpanies?"
1t is no business OF the City Councils
of Norfolk to help the Southern Bell
Telephone Company or any other tele-
phone company to make money. The
Councils. after due consideration, fixed
maximum rates for telephone charges
in this City: there the legitimate pow
