The election is over and the Demo
cratic flag does not wave in triumph
as we had expected. 1t has gone
down though not in dishonor and
will be raised again when the battle
for right and truth and justice is to
be fought again.
That the result was a surprise 10
us We do not deny. With such a
standard-bearer as William Jennings
Bryan, we deserved to win, and that
he did not, only shows that we have
fallen in evil times and that the peo-
pie of the country had less regard
for the constitution of our fathers
and the sacred principles handed
down by them than we had expect
ed.
We are glad too that we are not Of
that class, who are now saying IL told
you SO" and who are disposed to
blame MIR. Bryan for the defeat and
disparage him in any way for the
part he took in the fight. He was
the true representative of democracy
before the election and is still, and
greater In his defeat than his sue
cessful competitor or the thousands
who may try in any way to detract
from his fame.
But now that the verdict has been
declared, there is nothing left, Of
course but submit with as good grace
as possible and to hope that "McKin-
ley prosperity" may not be as mean
ingless in the future as it has been in
the past.

Every farmer on the Eastern Shore,
who needs light on any subject in his
avocation and wants to get out OF
some of the old ruts In which he has
been running for years, ought to be
present at the Farmers meeting to
be held at the courthouse on the 18th
inst, and no progressive farmer can
excuse his absence on the day, be-
cause of the conviction that he knows
it all. He must conclude that there
is sonnet hing to be learned by him in
the practical talks that will be made
to him and be present to profit by
them. 1t must occur to him, how
ever we'll posted he may be in some
respects, that there are other things
he ought to know after reading the
notice of the meeting of Hon. 5.
Wilkins Matthews, published in our
issue of to-day. For instance, one of
the subjects to be discussed will be
the proper use of commercial ferti-
lizers" and no farmer on the Eastern
Shore, whatever his success may
have been, will say that he has not
suffered by the improper use of them
and does not need information in
that respect. That there is any
farmer on the Eastern Shore, that
does not need information, in regard
to the diseases of hogs, poultry,
fruits and potatoes, also to be dis
cussed on the day, goes without
saying Taking these things for
granted. of coarse, there are some
things our farmers do not know, and
they are surely too intelligent not to
be willing to learn from the practi-
cal experience of othe rs how TO avoid
the mistakes which they have made
in the past by attending the lnsti-
tute and profting by the informa-
ton which they will receive from
it. They know, of course, how 10 grow
potatoes, but have not yet learned
how to prevent or remedy the di
seases which often cut short or des'
troy the crop. They are convinced
as to the necessity Of using fertili-
GERS, but have not yet learned how tc
increase the fertility of the soil by
using them with the least possible ex'
pense to them. The speakers who
will be in attendance at the Farmers
Institute at Accomac G. H., on tbs
10th, propose to tell them how they
can remedy the diseases and curtai
expen ditures and save money il
using fertilizers and there ought tC
be no question as to whether they
ought to be ON hand to hear them.
Farmers, it is duty you owe your
selves to be present, and We believe
you are too intelligent and wide
.awake-to- yourinterests not to avail
yourselves of the opportunity to in
form yourself by hearing discussed
things 80 important to you and SC
essential to the betterment OF your
condition.

Virginia entered into the dispen-
sary business on a small scale in
A pril last. The State Monday received
it's first dividends from this innovas
ton on the plan Of conducting the
tipping traffic. A check for $3.50 was
received Monday at the Auditors
Office for the State bar established In
the little town OF Franklin, in
Southampton county. This amount
represents the Commemorative
profit in this initial dispensaYy. The
law authorizing this State bar was
passed at the last session OF the Gen
eral Assembly as an experiment. The
town Of Franklin maintains the dis-
pensary and sells liquor only in
packages, to be drunk away from the
premises. The Commonwealth re-
ceives one-fourth of the profits of
the business. The check received
represents the States dividends for
six months. Franklin, the town In
which this experimental dispensary
is located, is one Of the greatest ap-
ply brandy making sections OF the

ing this statute is likely to cause a
movement for demand for dispen
sary laws for other sections of Vir-
ginia, if not for the whole State.

ChiIdren's Labor.

It is alleged by the American Journal
of Sociology that the number of child
workers is increasing in the United States.
In some States children under thirteen
wears are prohibited from working in
factories, or elsewhere. in others the limit
of age is fourteen. and in others sixteen.
II has been sometimes alleged that
children are employed in the factories of
the Southern States. making the average
wages of the worker so low that Northern
mills. under restrictions in this respect,
cannot compete with those of the South.
1t may be well to remember that any leg
islation against the employment of chill
dren in factories, mines, and other trades
is a thing of very recent date. Until the
agitation in England, in which Lord
SALISBURY took a prominent part, little
children were forced to work in factories
and coal mines and made to serve as
chimney sweeps TO say nothing of the la
borious life which apprentices and errand
boys sometimes led. There was probably
an outcry against paternalism when the
state took TO interfering with this sort of
thing. the master sweep arguing that if a
boy occasionally smothered in a chimney
or emerged with abraded knees and elbows
and painful burns, it was nobody's business
but his and the boys. But ii has gradual
ly been recognized that it is not safe to
give one class of human beings absolute
control of another. not even when fathers
and children. or husbands and wives. are
concerned. The good father will not object
to the very mild legislation which obliges
him to educate his child and refrain from
making the youngster support himself un-
til he can do so without imperiling the use
fulness Of future years. The good husband
will not care whether the law allows him
10 beat his wife with small stick or for
bids him TO beat her at all. because the
idea Of striking a woman will be abhor
rent to him.
Thus, it is best for the State as well
as the children that every child should be
busy. up to the age of fifteen or sixteen
with getting an education, and that its
Young strength shall not be overtaxed with
regular employment during the years
which should be given to mental training
and healthful exercise. This may be hard
on some large families where there are a
great many children and only one respon-
sible breadwinner, but it will be benefit
in the end for the employment of women

and children at less than the average
wages brings down the income of the man.
If women are to be employed at all, they
should be paid as men are, for what they
do; and children should be ruled out of the
whole matter.
1t has been suggested that If we deprive
the poor man of the money which he might
receive for the child's work. and send that
child to school for several years when it
might be contributing two or three dollars
week to the family treasury, he ought to
be paid for the loss. 1t is possible that.
If competition grows much sharper, some
thing of the sort may be necessary; but 1t
is not likely; for where children are kept
out of competition with adults. wages usu-
ally reach reasonable height. With strict
economy, an able-bodied man can take care
of family on the average laborer's wages,
and there are numerous ways In which
children can earn or save money, and still
not come into competition with their elders
IN the factories and shops. In villages and
small towns they can always be made use
full in gardening and poultry raising
which add an appreciable amount to the
family income, and are not too heavy a
tax on the child's strength, the work being
for the most part light and varied. In the
cities the problem is more difficult; but,
after all, the cities do not include very
large proportion of our population. At any
rate, it seems clear that it is very bad for
the community in general to have large
class of children compelled to work, fore
going their chance of education; and this
should be prohibited by national not
merely by state legislation. 1t will rot dc
/ TO have large sections of the population
| grow up ignorant in any part of this coun-
I try. 1t is not going to be an easy matter
/ to weld our different nationalities and
races into one nation; and it never can be
+ done at all unless the whole population
can be reached by books and newspapers
/ There is nothing except the printed wo:t
which can influence the whole of this
country at one time. Education is the
only counteracting force which can save Us
from sectionalism.

A NAVAL OFFICERS REWARD.
Programme OF the Wainwria n {
sword Presentation.


Commander Richard Wainwright will be
made the recipient of a handsome sword to-
morrow afternoon at the Columbia Theatre
The exercises attendant upon the ceremony
will be as simple as possible, those having
them in charge proceeding on the theory
that the people want to honor the gallant
naval officer, but do not want too much
oratory.
The President. members of the Cabinet
and high officers of the army and navy,
Miles. will be present. The President. Ad-
mfral Dewey. and General Miles will occupy
boxes, and the rest of the distinguished
guests will be seated upon the stage
There was some doubt as to whether Mr.
Mckinley would be able to attend owing TO
the press of business and the fact that to-
morrow night is reception night at the
White House. but that question was settled
Yesterday when he signified his intention to
be present.
More than three times the seating ca
pacity OF the Columbia has been already
covered by requests for tickets. and there
is no doubt that the largest hall in the
city would have been filled by the putlic.
In the matter of distributing the tickets
the subscribers to the Wainwright testi-
monial fund have been favored and they,
together with the members of the VAIN
wright family have been the first to receive
them. The theatre and stage will be hand
somely decorated for the occasion.
The committee will cclSst of Messrs.
c. c. Glover chairman; George II. l1arries,
c. ]. Bell. f. p. B. Sands. and John Pore
The Marine Band Orchestra, of twenty
pieces will be in attendance and Will play
from to Ais.
Mr.. c. C. Glover, chairman of the rom
mittee will announce Mr.. John Joy Edison
as the presiding officer of the occasion.
Mr.. Edison. after a short address, will in
troduce Mr.. F. P B. Sands, who will de-
liver the main address of the occasion. Mr.
Sands is a warm admirer of Commander
Wainwright. and has been largely instrL-
mental in bringing about the testimoniaI.
Mr.. Sands will hand the sword to Secre-
tary Long who will then present it to Com
mander Wainwright with a few fitting
words. After short musical interms-
sion. General Harries will present to the
hero of the occasion the superb silver set
provided for in the testimonial Command
er Wainwright will close the ceremonies
with whatever he may wish to say.
