FELT THE STING.

The Danvlle Bee did make news
paper, published in the city Of Rich
mond, feel keenly its sting rs it went
buzzing around one day last week
The aforesaid newspaper, Democratic
in name, but TO all intents and purpO.
ses, essentially radical, had underta-
ken to make silver the paramount issue
Of the Kansas City platform when the
Democrats, who framed that platform
had expressly declined SO TO do, where
upon the Bee went to singing.
Wincing, flinching, Sinking, the
Richmond city gold bug cried out:
"Of course we can't make it the prom
inent issue but the Republicans will"
Who cares, that is what Democrat
cares, what Republican tries to make
of a Democratic platform ? 1t was not
written to please them. The average
Democrat would feel ashamed of it if
it did please Mark Hanna. Gear
the Greeks bearing gifts" was a wise
precauti0n in the ancient DAYS. Fear
Republicans when they have any good
thing to say Of Democratic work is
present day wisdom.
The Farmville herald. [volume] (Farmville, Va.) 1890-1934, 1900-07-20

"This year Americans are to decide
whether the Republic as the fathers
made it shall endure or whether il
shall be replaced by an imperial form
of government; whether it shall cor
tlnue government with opportunities
for all or whether it shall be one with
opportunities confined to classes only.
1t is this thought that makes every
rejecting American anxious for his
country in this political revolt of the
year nineteen hundred. y ChdrlOtes-
UiiLe Progress.
Our brother hasn't drawn the issue
too sharply. A government for the
people" or "by the people" for "classes
only" is the paramount" issue of the
hour.
The Farmville herald. [volume] (Farmville, Va.) 1890-1934, 1900-07-20

The idea of dollar playing no part
in business transactions, only yard
stick by which things are measured,
as certain gold bug newspaper, pub
llshed in the city Of Richmond gravely
contends, is sheer nonsense, unadul-
terated foolishness.
Suppose the editor of the aforesaid
newspaper should undertake to 90 TO
the Paris Exposition on a yard stick.
how far would he "get to go?"

MCKINLEY PROSPERITY.

We confess there is such a thing eX
tant in this year of our Lord, 1900, anC
that it has bad "name to live" fol-
the past few years, but that it i;
"abrOad in the land, " we most emphat-
ically deny. Carnegie revels in it,
Hanna chuckles over it, Morgan smiles
that it is so, bankers rejoice in it, own
ers of mules welcome the war-orders,
and so do the packers of "embalmed
beef" but that the great body of work
ing people recognize it we again deny.
Farm products are no higher, but taxes
must of necessity be, so cost of living
has been nothing reduced, though when
young Mr.. Havemeyer married the
other day, he, the son of law made
millionaire, could afford to invest in
bridal present more money than will
be spent by one hundred families in
the town of Farmvile the next twelve
months. This Is not said in criticism
Of the expenditure. Mr. Havemeyer
had the money and had a right to
spend it. We go further and say that
rich men ought to spend money lavish
~, but we do mention the royal fea-
lures of the nuptials to emphasize the
fact that this is peculiarly the rich
man's'"prosperity," of which we hear
50 much, and not the poor mans.
Rich men have always had more
money than poor men, and this will |
continue to "last syllable of recorded |
time" The "poor with you always" is
OF God and not Of man, but the "poor
poorer and the rich richern is of Re-
publican origin.
When the Pullman estate doubles in
four years, the Standard Oil declares a
dividend of $4,000, 900 year and Car
negie makes S42,OOO,OOO annually, the
beneficiaries will, of course. shout out
loud ana strong, prosperity" "pros-
perlty," but there are so few thus to
holler that we are driven again to say
that the Mckinley prosperity is Crib
bed, cabined and confined" in its oper-
atoms. 1t is palatial rather than peo-
pies, and belongs to parlors rather than ,
{
We want to see the day when the
'one-galiows fellow" can afford two.
The Mckinley property doesn't look i
hat way. Mr.. Bryan is headed that I
way. AT least we think so, and we o
nave as much right to an opinion as /
he average gold bug. II

succeed Representative Dick, rs Secre-
tary Of the Republican National Com
mittee, it was simply changing one
Hanna made man for another. Heath
will reign the position of First Assistant
Postmaster General, but it will not be
rs punishment for having had hand
in giving Nicely a chance TO steal Cuban
Postal Funds. In fact, Heath knows
too much about Hanna's campaign
methods in 1897, to make it safe to
attempt to punish him, even if it were
considered desirable. 1t is among the
probabilities, if Hanna can win again,
that Heath will be member Of Mr..
McKinley's next Cabinet.

NOTIFIED.

VI course they knew all about it be
lore but on the 18th INST, Messrs
Mckinley d Roosevelt were formally
notified of their nominations. Sena.
tor Lodge presented the good news to
Mr.. Mckinley and Senator Walcott to
Mr.. Roosevelt.
The speeches Of notification were
made up Of glorification of deeds
already done and prophecy of better
Things yet to be done. The responses
trembled on the verge of responsibilities
so grave, but in each case "Barkas was
willing" and nothing but death or
defeat will keep the name of either
from the pay roll. Mr.. Mckinley had
much to say Of "l6 to l." but not q
word of imperialism" Hanna has
reminded him of where the shoe does
the most pinching. The people will
not fail, however, to tread ON those
cOrns.

parting Of the ways" Just So Mr.

DISASTROUS DEFEAT.

There has been fierce fight between
the Chinese forces and those Of the al
lied powers at Tien Tsin. An effort
was made to storm the walled city.
The Chinese We're victors, and inflicted
heavy loss on the attacking forces.
The American loss was heavy, estima-
ted as high as % per cent.-many Off
GERS among the number. All the gov
ernments represented in this move
ment against China are preparing to
send other troops to the scene of action
The situation is so grave that Congress
may be called in extra session. This
should be done without delay. We
ought to quit playing at politics until
this overshadowing problem has been
solved.
Little Japan whipped large China
but the world combined hasn't done it

Boys Refuse to Debate.

lady living in a State not far dis
tant, Who was very much interested in
Woman Suffrage, determined to get up
a good, lively debate upon the subject
IN the High school of her city.
She spoke to some O. the girls about
1t and they said, "All right, we are
ready for the affirmative" She sought
the boys who were frequently winning
debates on sundry subjects and asked
them TO take the negative and to her
dismay every boy refused. When oues-
toned as to their reasons they sad.
The girls will beat u.s." But" said
she, Il will help you. | will give YOU
every document published by the Re-
monstrants-besides all the arguments
that have been made in the various
Legislatures for several sessions. From
these you can argue that Taxation
without representation ds not tyranny
and that Governments do not derive
their just powers from the consent of
the governed.
Why said the boys, eve can I go
back on the Constitution of the United
States" You will have to, for your
side of the question. Several State
Legislatures do so every winter" she
replied. You can bear down hard on
the fact that bill for prize fighting
passed in the Colorado Legislature
since women began voting there"
How many women are in the Legis-
lature, inquired the boys
only three" said she, and they all
voted against the bill, but this passed
for argument in the Iowa Legislature
this session from one of the most intel
ligent counties in the State and also
from various other sources You can
also say that only 80 per cent. of the
votes cast in Wyoming in 1896 were
cast by women, and that they have
never passed any great reform meas
ures or secured Prohibition. You will
have to trust to luck that it will not
occur to the girls that only one-third
of the voters of Wyoming were born
women anyway, and so they can not
yet outvote the men. Whenever you
get into a corner just say Women
don't want to vote"
Yes, but the girls would say, what
about those petitions from $4,000 of the
