and Missouri compromises.
Who were the traitors in 1860? Were they
the men who stood for the letter, or those who
imbibed the spirit?
The need of the hour is more Lincolns-more
of the spirit of '76-more honesty in politics
and commerce and more restraint upon men
who debauch our youth, or who, through COM
bines, rob the masses.
The balance of trade has been in our favor
since 1894, and the American people ought to
be the wealthiest people on earth, but are not
Somehow, the balance in our favor has not
panned ont. Money does not flow this way.
English. German and French own too many of
our securities. We have surplus, and sell
abroad, to keep even OH our interest payments
Let there come a time when we have no surplus
to sell to foreigners, or not enough to pay in
terest, and it is evident that America will be
drained of gold. The owners of gold will soon
own the world These are lovely things to ac.

Election day is near at hand anc
beyond all question the most import'
ant in the history of our country
Questions confront us as neve' before
such as imperialism, militarism apo
trusts, inin.mical % republican In
stitutious and which threaten the
destruction OF the liberties of the
people, and it behooves everyone
therefore, to inquire what duty re-
quires of him in the great battle OF
ballots in November. 1t is not enough
for us to say, that there j. no doubt
as to the way in which Virginia viii
cast her vote. That may be true, bu'
it does not relieve us of the duy Of
being on hand on election day to cast
our votes as freemen and to show by
votes our condemnation of those who
now seem 10 have no regard for the
constitution of our land or the llber-
ties Of our people. That we may be
qua ified. therefore, to exercise the
privil eyes If freeman, We couuse
every democrat who is not registered
or who has no. obtained bis transfer
to attend to these dutles at once. To
the people of Onancock precinct es-
pecially is this advice important. The
registration books at that pace nav
ing been destroyed by fire everyone
must registe and this fact may be
lost sight o. by tome if no. attended
to at once, and many votes thereby
be lost to our party Virginia expects
us to give a good account of ourselves
in November and Accomac must re-
tain her place at the head OF the
Democratic column, when the vote is
counted, whether her votes are need
ed or not.

Origin of "DIxie'S Land"

The original song, "Dixie's Land"
was composed in 1859 by Daniel EN-
NETT as ''walk.around" for Bryant's
Ministries. Mr.. Emmett frequently
heard the performers in circus make
the remark, II wish l was in Dixie
as soon as the Northern climate be-
gan to be too severe for the tent life
which they followed. This expression
suggested the song, "Dixie's Land"
1t made hit at once in New York,
and was speedily carried to all parts
OF the Union by numerous bands of
wandering minstrels. In the fall of
1860 Mrs. John Wood sang it in New
Orleans in the burlesque of "Poca-
hontas," and before week had pass
ed the whole city had taken it up.
A New Orleans publisher saw possi-
bilities in the music, and without the
authority Of the composer had the
air harmonized and rearranged, is
suing it with words embodying the
strong Southern feeling then existing
in New Orleans. October Ladies'

Political.

Defenders of the administration
went TO know what is militarism?
The answer is easy to find. Every
time you stamp q telegram, bank
check, or any other paper of value,
militarism sticks to the tongue. In
one item we have a burden Of hun,
dreds of millions placed upon the pub
lie. And that is only the beginning
Atlanta Constitution.
Republican political experts now
admit that there is great danger that
Mr.. Mckinley will Loo I-a;~->a- md
Illinois. In both States the trouble
is the trust issue. In the former it
has attained hopeless proportions.
In the latter, tie situation in Chicago
is so desperate it is admitted that if
great gains cannot be made to offset
the antitrust vote of Cook county,
the State is gone. Trusts and
GerIna 1-American opposition to i'm
perialism are doing effective mission
airy work for Mr.. Bryan.
The predictions of Thomas b. Nc
Kee, the clerk of the House of Repre-
sentatives, and who has been in
charge of the campaign document
bureau OF the National Republican
Committee have caused alarm among
the administration leaders in Wash
ington. Mr.. Mckee openly asserts
that if President Mckinley carries
Illinois or Indiana that it Will be al
most a miracle, ascribing the causes
for this condition of affairs to the
labor troubles. Mr.. Mckee is, Of
of course, in an excellent position to
judge of the political feeling in the
Western States, and being an Indiana
himself, makes his state
ments that Mckinley cannot carry
those States all the more interesting.
Senator Wellington has returned
from his four-day campaign in Mich.
igan enthusiastic over the reception.
He says that beyond question the
gold Democrats of Michigan have
returned to the Democratic party.
Il do not believe that per cent. of
them can be found outside" he said.
"On the other hand, the issue of
i'm p erialism E I'd the trusts, especially
the forme has caused a large defec-
lion from the Republic: 4 tanks.

81. ;tic wo Ike for Mr.. b 2an's cleo
ton are r en- who have been lifelong
and who now are earn

The meeting of he stockholders OF
the Eastern Shore Produce Exchange
at Onley, Saturday, was frl of en-
couragement to those who are look
ing to it for better prices for our farm
produc: and he increased prospect
fu which tho -
the Eas ern Shore, whatever their
avocation or calling. The gatheriD:
was happy one, harmony prevailed
in all the proceedings of the NEE ling
aud the e seemed 10 be but one senti
ment among the stockholders, that
the organization meant success to
them and must be sustained what
euer obstacle may be thrown in the
way OF its success in the future. They
believe in the Exchange, of course,
because they know that it has been
of inca culable value o them in keep
ing up the prices this season, and
justly conclude hat results w be
greater to them year by year as the
organization becomes more perfect
and gets more under its control the
produce of the Eastern Shore. That
the mosS of those outside Of the En-
change will see before the shipments
of another season begin, that the
interests are with those who are
striving to keep up the prices Of the
farm products rather than with those
who are in business for what they
can make out of il, ought not 10 be
debatable question. The good results
of the Exchange have been too
patent already, though almost sti
in its infancy, for anyone 20 doubt
where duty should lead them.
