RE.MARKlNG THE MASON AND DIXON
LINE.
Richmond News

Richmond News
And now, this month, the famous old
boundary line between Maryland and
Pennsylvania, which is part of what has
been known for more than a hundred
years as "Mason and Dixon's Line, is 60
Ing to be re surveyed, 1t is not to be
moved, but simply marked with new
monuments where the old ones, which
were originally brought from England,
have disappeared, and furnished with
others at the western end, where none
have ever been. The States Of Maryland
and Pennsylvania have each given 81 900
for this purpose, and DR.. S. Pritchett,
superintendent of the coast and geodetlc
survey, is president of the commission that
will have the matter in charge.
Sometimes it happens in Europe, and
once in very great while-but don't tell
this-it even happens in America, that
people confuse Mason and Dixon's line
with that other one which was fixed at the
time of the "Missouri Compromise" in
1920 and which marked the northern
limit of slavery, showing that it must not
extend north of Missouri into the terri
tories. The mistake is owing to the fact
that SO much was said, during the Civil
War, about our having "no slaves north of
Mason and Dixon's ine;" but, really,
there was no connection in the beginning,
between the old boundary and the ques-
ton Of slavery.
1t seems odd enough to think that once
upon time the State of Pennsylvania was
owned by William Penn, and that Lord
Baltimore was the sole proprietor of Mary
land, Delaware and part of New Jersey,
too. But that is history, and the rest of
the story is that, one day, these two land
owners found that, owing to royalty's ig-
norance of American geography, the boun-
Diary line between their two colonies bad
been made to pass north of Philadelphia,
so that it shut Pennsylvania out from Del
aware Bay entirely. They tried to have
the matter patched up, but it remained
unsettled for more than a century. AT
last, in 1760, after Delaware had been
bought by the heirs of William Penn, sur
veyors were appointed, who spent three
years measuring the lines that now separ-
ate Delaware from Maryland. The pro-
prietors of the colonies then decided to
send out skilled mathematician to COM
plete the work, and selected Charles Ma
son and Jeremiah Dixon, who verified the
work of the others and finished the line
which has ever since been known by their
name.
10 the days of Mason and Dixon, stones
were erected at intervals of one mile along
the line and every fifth stone was en-
graved on opposite sides with the arms of
the lord proprietors, but there is a differ
ent plan in 1900. The marks to be used
are granite posts, three feet in length,
which will be inscribed with "P" on the
PENNSYLVANIA side, and an IN" on the
Maryland side. They will be replaced
closer together or farther apart, as condi-
items require.

WILL HONEST MEN LONGER SUBMIT ?

We know there are thousands Of honest
Democrats in the Ninth District and in
Virginia who in their secret hearts despise
the Machine methods by which the State
and this district are controlled. They are
also ashamed of the election law which
makes such methods not only possible but
suggests them. There can be no doubt
but that they would like to relieve their
State FROM the degradation to which 1t has
been brought by the action of daring and
unscrupulous partisans. But they have
been reluctant to raise their voices against
a dishonest election law and the frequent,
increasing outrages upon the-ballot-box,
because they were afraid they might injure
their party. Their silence and reluctance
have been accepted as scquiesence in what
the Machine has been doing and all honest
Democrats in the State have become the
victims of the Machine to almost as great
degree as have the Republicans. Go to
most of the counties in Virginia and you
will find men of small calibre, not only in
brain but in integrity, dominating the pol
ilics of those counties. These men have
become prominent and potential from no
merit but absolute subservience to the will
of the Machine. They control all OF the
party met tings in their counties, and make
it impossible for the best and most intell-
gent Democrats to appear in State and
District Conventions.
Encouraged by one success after another
in casting aside the conservative and
honorable men of the party, the petty
trickrter,; lave advanced step by step in
their ou,rAges upon the elective franchise,
until they have reached point where
honest men, regardless Of party, must re-
volt or witness a condition of political deg
radiation that will forever make Virginia
the scOrn of the civilized world.
The recent election WAS the most dis.
graceful mat has ever been known in the
history of the Commonwealth. The Dem
ocratic Machine made a bold and vicious
assault upon "the right preservative of all
rights" that has startled Democrats of in
tegrity and excited Republicans to pitch
of indignation that Is nearing point Of
revolution.
The can be DO denial of the fact that
systematic scheme of fraud was operated
in the preparation of the ballots that were
used on the 9Th inst. as revolving to the
consciences Of honest men as they were
successful in efiectlng the purposes of the
COuSCtuttlcH lllrll WIZ OiielAIelbCO anu
prepared them. So far as we can learn,
in every county in the State, the ballot
used was a dishonest one, prepared with
reckless and defiant spirit, to deprive the
voters Of all opportunity to vote unas-
sisted.
Honest Democrats you have seen the
ballots; yOu cannot doubt the purpose of
the men who fixed them. Will you long
er submit to the men who are disgracng
you pref =, the dishonest success of your
party or the triumph of honesty and
honor?

The Richmond Times some time ago
that the mission of the Demo-
cratic pan ty was to oppose whatever the
Republican party advocated. That mis-
sion will be well observed at the approach
ing session of Congress. The Republican
party, however, will go on successfully
with its work, and the Democracy will
continue to make itself ridiculous by its
futile efforts at obstruction.

You can look out for the Democrats to
take the back track, when the Constitu-

of restricting suffrage. They are afraid
their representation in Congress and the
Electoral College will be reduced. If there
is any one thing the average Virginia
Democrat dislikes, it is a reduction in the
number of offices.

TIE QUEEN HAS
 A PEACEFUL DAY Universal Condemnation of At- tempt on Princes Life Ex-
 pressed in Ireland.

Dublin April 6.-Queen Vlctoria's first day of residence in Dublin passed quite un- eventually. Such scenes as there were might well have occurred in London. The official announcement of the formation of the Irish Guards was not given out here. and came from London too late for the af- ternoon papers.
 Neither the Freemans Journal, the Inde- pendent nor the Irish Times comments up- on this this morning; but the Express says it is "a great and kindly compliment to Ireland," and suggests that the Guards should be chiefly composed of the remnants of the Irish regiments which have fought so valiantly in South Africa The same pa per deals editoria1ly with the attempted as- sassination of the Prince of Wales in the following strain:
 Nowhere has the attempt upon the life Of the Prince of Wales excited more lrni- versal or more profound horror and disgust than in the country which, on the day the attempt vas made, gave his royal mother a welcome whose cordialfty and enthusiasm has taken captive the imagination of the British people,"
 Everywhere throughout Ireland is heard an expression of very sincere satisfaction that the nerve of Sip!do was not equal to his criminal intent, and desire is keenly felt in this country to show by every means in its power how much 1t sympanhzes with the queen in the painful shock she has borne so bravely.

Soon after the Prince end Princess of Wales, both appearing re- markedly well, alighted on the platform
 The Prince smiled cheerfuliy, and after exchanging cordial greetings with the other members of the family conversed for a few minutes with the chief dignitares as- senboled. Outside the station @ large crowd of people had gathered and as the visitors drove toward the palace they were greeted with ringing cheers, which were repeated as they progressed through the city. The Prince and Princess of Wales and King Christian occupied the first carriage They were followed by the royal party.

Pres,deut Loubet indignant

Paris, April 5.-6:25 p. m.-Presdent Lou bet has sent an officer of his household to the British ambassador, Sir Edmund J.

 The French papers unanimously denounce Sipido's attempt the life of the Prince as detestable crime, and declare Eng lishmen must not hold "Europe's feeling of indignation against Great Brita,n's pol icy in South Africa responsible for the cow ardly act of a demented anarchist"
