PoLIrIcs ls rotten game at best
but we did not believe that there
were any so debased who would
openly advertise their votes as so
much wares to be knocked down to
the highest bidder. In Chicago a
club of one hundred men have
banded together with the publicly
announced purpose of selling their
combined votes to the highest bidder
OF any party. The buying and selling
OF votes has come down to us from
the first Roman Republic, presum-
ably carried on through the inter
venlng ages. and it will continue
unto the millennium, but this year of
grace, 1900, is probably the first to
make record of the fact that the
degrading and virose practice is
unreservedly admitted to be COM
ponent part of the game politics.

Porto Ricans Disfranchised.

The Republican Administration
and Congress automatically and
deliberately DISTINGUISHED thousands
of citizens of Porto Rico, and they
were denied the privilege of voting
at the recent election which was to
provide constitution for the island
In the annual report made by Sec
rotary of War Root in December,
1899, he says, on page 755 of said
report:
81 think the basis of suffrage should
be that all who read and write or
who hold property up to small
specified amount may vote and no
Others"
While a number of States, such as
Massachusetts,, North Carolina, Con.
necticutt and Louisiana have pre-
scrlbed educational qualifications for
voters, this Republican measure en-
acted for Porto Rico is the first at
tempt in the history of our Republic
to prescribe property qualification
since Thomas Jefferson, the great
champion of human rights. succeeded
IN giving to every man, rich and poor
alike, the right to exercise his cleo.
tive franchise as a free American
citizen.
How many thousands of Porto
Ricans under Spanish oppression
have never had an opportunity either
to learn to read or write or to acquire
property. These are not, under Re
publican rule, permitted to vote, vet
nnder the Spanish rule they were
never denied this right.
What, then, must be the natural
conclusion? The party of trusts,
through whose influence free trade
was denied by Congress to the Porto
Ricans, has arbitrarily dictated a
property qualification for the voters
of that unfortunate island.

Chinese troops, armed with modern
weapons, are marching from ali the
provinces to join Tuug Flu Hsiang at
Siugan Flu, where the Chinese Court
has gone. The Chinese still possess
modern guns and an immense guam
tity of stores.
There is not the slightest intention
on the part of any power of demand
ing that the Empress Dowager be
physically punished for the part she
played in the recent outrases; i'm
fact, should she return to Pekin she
would undoubtedly be given ample
protection. But it is the expression
of most of the powers that the En-.
press be excluded from further par
ticipation in the administration of
the Chinese Government.

Drink Causes Father to Shoot
Daughter

Fatal shooting of a young girl by
her father occurred last week in Han
over county. Va. The man Is Junius
Manteo, a farmer, and from all re-
ports he did not intend to shoot the
girl. Monteo, disappears, was on a
spree, and while in that condition
got his gun. The mother and the
12-year-o!d daughter, fearing he
would hurt himself, attempted to get
the weapon from the man when it
was discharged. At the time the
girls stomach was pressing against
the muzzle of the gun. The shot
tore her to pieces. She fingered in
terrible agony during the day and
died the following night.

WASHINGTON, Oct, Sih, 1900.
Mr.. McKinley'S return 20 Wash
ington this week is to be followed bv
increased activity of the adnainistra-
ton ~ the campaign. Ike and his
party managers are desperate, aud
every scheme that will Get out votes
is likely to be in full swing these
last few weeks of the campaign.
Voters in states which the Repu6li-
can managers cansider doubtful, who
are employed in the government de-
partments in Washington, have all
been given to understand very plain
~ that they must 60 home aud vote
or take the consequences. What
states the Republican managers con-
slider close or doubtful NAV be Judged
from the fact that this notice has
beer given voters from New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut, West Vir-
gInia, Maryland, Kentucky, Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan.
That they have no expectation of
carrying Kansag or Nebraska or any
OF inter-mountMn states of the far
West, may be judged from their hav-
ing left the voters from those states
free to use their own discretion about
going home to vote.
Mr.. Mckinley is counted upon by
the party bosses to do something Of
fcial to try to raise a hurrah between
this and election. Just what this
Will be has not leaked out, although
the expectation has. 1t will be well
for the Democrats to be on the
lookout for any sort of move on
the part of the administration
that may be calculated to catch
and enthuse those who do not look
below the surface of things and to be
prepared TO counteract the effect of
any such move. AS statesman.
history may not give Mr.. Mckinley
very high rank, but as slick poll
tician, up to all the tricks of the
trade and having the ability to or1gi-
nate some of bis own, Mr.. Mckinley
is top liner aud will bear close
watching.

uniting that Bryan and Stevenson
will carry Chicago although they are
publicly claiming that they will get

cede Chicago is to concede the state,
as the returns in '92, when the state
was carried by Cleveland, and in 90,
when it was carried by Mckinley.
show that as goes Chicago, so goes
the state.
The Chinese trouble is now put
forward as an excuse for the failure
of the administration to DO something
towards compelling the Sultan of
Turkey to pay those long-s:auding
American Missionary CLAIMS. 1t will
not be surprising if big bluff is
made just before the election of using
force to compel the Sultan to settle

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION

If we do not need the aid of the
Nirginians resident in other States
and really we can do without them
we should make the best use of the
material we have at home. Are
We going to do it? Now, "honest
lnlun, are our people resolved to
send to the constitutional conven-
ton their very wisest and best men?-
Richmond Dispatch.
The convention should take as n
model for its basis of representation
the House of Delegates, constituting
a membership of one hundred dele
gates, which would be body neither
too large nor too small, and then
care should be exercised that there
shall be suflicientnumbe of LAWYERS
among the members-real, able and
experienced lawyers, who know some
thing about the theory as we'll as the
practice of their profession, and to
whom the per diem of the conyen-
ton would be the least consideration.
There is no danger that enough law
yers will not get in, for if there
should only be two or three of them
everybody will know that they are
there, and it will take everybody to
keep them from running the con-
vention their own way. We hope
there will be good membership of
the better class of farmers and of
merchants and manufacturers-men
of scholarly habit and thought-and
we should be particularly pleased to
see two or three college professors
there, men like Harry st. George
Tucker, for instance, who has added
the breath of scholar to his accom-
plishments as lawyer.-PetersJurq
I'lder-Appeal.
In connection with the election of
delegates, there is discussion going
on in the newspapers in which the
view is taken by most writers that
the majority of members of the con-
vention ought not to be lawyers. 1t
is admitted that the presence of a
considerable number of sound, sensi-
bic lawyers who are known to be
friendly to constitutional reform is
both necessary and desirable, as their
skill and training will be much
needed; but it is pointed out that
there are vast number of questions
with respect to taxation, finance,
county organization, schools, etc.,
which can be as we'll, if not better,
settled by intelligent laymen. Again,
1T has been said that the lawyer dele
gates may be embarrassed somewhat
when they are called npon to vote
for a reduction Of the number of
judges and that they would proba-
bly, gladly welcome the help of lay
delegates. Our own desire is that
The convention shall be thoroughly
representative "of all classes" 1t
would be unfortunate, we think,
should it be overwelghted with dele.
gates of any particular class or in
terest. Our advice to each constitu-
ency is to select the most earnest and
capable man it has provided he be a
real friend of constitu tional reforn).
lawyer or no. If that purpose be
kept constantly in view by the people
the membership of the convention
will pretty surely give satisfaction;
IT not. not. The people of Virginia
demand "new Constitutions" and
will be satisfied with nothing less.
