A REMARKABLE ERROR.

Senator Stands has at last been adj
mitted to full fellowship as a Democrat,
after having been made to stand out in
the cold a long while because he and
the Democrats of his district dcmurred
to the arbitrary conduct of Col. Day
(father-in-law OF Senator Martin) and
because he dared to respond to the call
of his fellowDemocrats and defeat Col.
Boykin for The State Senate. The
Senate, in a final caucus over this con-
tumacy in free country and an indie
pendent State, admitted Senator Stands
to equality in the caucus against the
report of its committce) by vote of 10
to Is. The friends of the Democratic
party are to be congratulated OH this
result.
Senator Glass, of Lynchburg, greatly
contributed TO this happy result by
proving that the State committee did
not have original and exclusive juris-
diction over State Senatorial nominal
ton, in cases of dispute; but that the
laws and regulations adopted by the
State Democratic convention for the
government of the State committee and
the party expressly provided for the
settlement of such disputes by the dis
trict committee; but, strangely enough,
the circular or pamphlet copy printed
and furnished by the State committee,
wholly omitted this provision! Thus de-
priving candidates and district commit
tees of their rights. and clothing the
State committee with greater powers!

We are continually told that China
has granted Concessions" to this or
that nation-France. England Russia,
the United States. Germany, &C.; but
we see no reciprocity anywhere in re-
spect to these concessions. China, it
seems, does all the conceding. and other
nations do the accepting. China's con-
cessions are really in derogation of her
sovereignty and independence. and, of
course, no other nation In the civilized
world would grant them, or be asked
TO do so; but no concessions whatever,
even of the most ordinary kind, arc
granted China in return. We consider
this mcan--ay, doubly mean; for it is
obvious that China is either inveigled,
dupcd. or hulldoZed into these conccs-
sions. and then brutality told by the re-
cipients OF these favors that they grant
no such concessions to any nations and
grant no concessions OF any kind to
China. That. you see, Is our higher en-
lightenment and ciyilizationl

AMERICANS FOR AMERCANsl

We were once n homogeneous people,
with no aristocracy and no proletariat,
no masses, nor classes. Our richest
men were George Washington and Ro-
bert Morris; the former, 'the first in
war, the first in peace, and the first in
the hearts of his countrymen;" the lat
ter spent and was spent" in behalf of
his country, until he was Impoverished.
Both were pure patriots, who loved
their fellow-men and their liberties.
Now we are divided into classes and
masses. Who are responsible for this?
THE MEN WHO RAN THE WAR
AGAINST THE SOUTH. BUT RAN
AWAY FROM IT! The men who never
shouldcrcd musket. nor faced one but
for four years speculated on the war
on death, wounds disease and misery;
and became enormously rich, while the
masses OF the people fought, suffered
and died!
That was the beginning of the new,
imperial era. The soldiers came out Of
the war-if they survived at all-dis-
abled, and poorer than when the war
rapidly and enormously rich, in safety:
became capitalists, bondholders, bank
ers, usurers. spectators. shoddyites;
and now they and their children are
their unfortunate descendants are the
masses.
These distinctions, thank heaven! are
yet far from being so marked in the
the Union; but, strange to say, the
masses (the ex-Federal veterans and
their sons) are still run by the classes
in politics as they were in war, all
same classes are still preying upon
them and bctraying them to imperial
ism and servitude under the name of
Republicanism. 1t is a most pitia BILE
spectacle! the men who went to battle
singing "Old John Browns soul Is still
marching on!" duped into supporting a
cruel war of subjugation upon Agui-
naldo and his pcople-colored people,
just emancipated from Spanish slavery.
for whom Old John Brown would have
fought and died!
But Filipinos and all other men are
secondary considerations when the real
issue here and now is that of the Amer
lean masses-with no discrimination on
account of race or color-struggling for
living and for liberty against these
war-born classes that never smelt the
smoke OF battle, but made money while
better men lost their blood and life.
1t is no more a war Of sections. but one
of all the people against an olgarchy
OF mi!iionaires, bondholders, banks and
trusts. The men of the North, East and
West must now stand shoulder TO
shoulder with the men of the South for
common rights and interests; and they
who once fought to give the black man
freedom, must now fight for the white
man, to preserve their own liberties
from the blight and bosom Of sordid
oppression.

HOW TO FIGHT.

The Baltimore Sun, still claiming to
ments, asks. "1ow Shall The Battle Be
Fought" The Virginian- Pilot replies:
mot by running away from the enemy;
not by repeating Republican and gold
lite lies; not by surrendering; not by ac-
cepting the advice of spies and traitors;
truth, the right, the people. whatever
may betide." To the same effect Mr..
Nv. j. Bryan has always answered,
everywhere; and. speaking of him, the
Sun says:
1t is impossible to refuse Mr.. Bryan
the credit of having at all times the
courage of his opinions. In his speech
in this city Saturday night, as in all
his speeches, he made 1t clear to his
hearers that he has no opinions to con-
ceal, qualify or retract upon any of the
issues of 1885, not plank in the Chica-
go platform to discard. but that he
stands to-day, to use his own words,
''for all that he stood for in 1896. and
for several new things"
While that is true OF Mr.. Bryan. 1t is
equally true of some so-callcd Demo-
Gratis that they do not have the courage
of their opinions. and are towards to
the marrow of their backbones. The
banks, the bondholders, trusts and cap
italists have stricken them with terror
until they dare not say that their souls
ARE their own; and of course such men
have no convictions that they will not

cock crows thrice, at the bidding Of
gold or it's advocates.
The amazing phenomenon of the age
Is the recrcant Democrats OF the At
aantic States and cities. who, utterly
bulldozed by the money-powcr. sneak
around Mr.. Bryan and implore him to
become as they are instead OF being
true. honest and brave for the right.
Cannot SO noble an example inspire nor
shame them? No! At the clink of gold
they cover like whipped ours and wish
that silver was indeed dead and buried.
They wish they could believe that oft
told lie; reason, conscience. morality,
truth and right, fact and argument re-
flute the tale: yet. though they know
that gold is the shibbolcth of wrong
and oppression. they hope to receive
some mercy from the oppressors in con-
sideration for their treachery to silver
and the people.
Everybody knows that no argument
has ever shown that silver is n mistake
or nm evil, and that gold is the savior
of men. On the contrary there has
been no argument on the side of gold
except the ultima ratio OF money:
sMoney that, like the swords of
kings,

Rockbridge county News should accuse
the peerless Bryan of running after
false gods and the Democracy of the

The grocers, as q whole, have got tired
of giving credit to everybody who comes
into their stores and they are beginning
to consider plans by which they may
keep track of those people who are slow
payers or who try to beat their creditors
out of their money altogether A large
part of the time at their meeting last
evening was taken up with a discussion
Of this matter OF credit and the problem
was finally referred to the board of
creditors.
The resignation of L. ]. Peterson, one
of the directors, was received and accept
ed and Q. P. Holman was elected to fill
the vacancy. The grocers are already
beginning to think of picnic, and a COM
mittee was appointed last evening to take
complete charge Of the arrangements.
The date and place for the outing has
not yet been settled, but the grocers are
determined to make the picnic one of
the best, If not the best, they have ever
had. During the past year interest has
been growing in association work, and
the association Is now unusually strong
and the grocers expect to be able to turn
out several thousand at the picnic

LETTER REFERRED.
At the conclusion of the reading of the
letter motion to refer it to committee
of three for consideration was adopted
and DR.. J. G. M Mcclure, president OF
Lake Forest university, DR.. William r,
hoffman, of the Fourth Church, and DIR.
w. j. Chichester, Of the First Church,
were named. DR.. Herrick Johnson pFesi~
dent of Mccormick theological seminary,
who had been named, withdrawing on the
ground that he had already expressed his
opinion in favor Of the acceptance of DR..
Hills resignation.
The committee spent some time in dis
cussing the letter, and finally decided to
ask for two weeks in which to consider
the matter before making any recon-
mendation 10 the Presbytery and the re-
quest was granted by a unanimous vote
Although none OF the members OF the
committee would express an opinion as to
the probable recommendation to be made
many of the ministers present stated they
did not favor allowing DR.. Hills TO demit.
as his opinions on certain Presbyterian
doctrines were not confined to himself,
and that, therefore erasure of his name
from the rolls of the Presbyterian church
would be opposed. Such action they
stated would be regarded in a way as
favorable to DR.. Hills, as 1t would allow
him to become preacher of the Congrer
gational church without doctrinal exam-
nation.
