A Tribute to the Press Of Virginia.

Before Diminishing the question OF
''Christian Dailies," which has Deen
under discussion for some time past,
The Evening Leader will say. in behalf
of the of Virginia, that
thew are moral and even religious IN
tone. We see practically all the news
papers of Virginia, but we never see
anything immoral OF indecent in thelr
columns. The news matter is clean
and the editorials are nearly always
uplifting. These newspapers expose
crime and turn the light into dark
corners, as they should do. But they
do not deal in scandal MS a stock IL
trade, and when they are compelled
to repoct criminal cases the story Ii
told in the most delicate way. with al
little as possible of offensive detail.
We note, also, that the newspapers
of Virginia devote a great deal OF spac
to the dissemination of religious intel
ligence. Hardly an issue of any Wiz
| ginia newspaper appears without som
sort of religious news, local or other
wise. We do not think it too muc
to claim that the press of Virginia ]

is no need of Sheldon methOds.-Rich

CIVILIZATION IN POLITICS"
Defense Of the Advocates Of the Chicago
Platform anu of Bryan.

Editor Post: Being a native of that
section Of the country which has long
been the buttress of attack OF the bigots
whom you SO scathingly rebuke in the
editorial, "Civilization in Politics" in
your issue of the End instant, and since
the political situation is beginning to
be examined with care, and even the
friends of the administration believe
it is at least wise to organize and con-
~ciliate, I cannot refrain from stating
a few facts which indicate at least the
respectability of the vote cast for the
Democratic party in 1896.
No pen could more forcibly contrast
the civilization of the country districts
with the cities than does your editori-
al, and speaking as one of the support
ers of the Chicago platform, L wish
to lay before you these undeniable
facts:
That that platform received the in
dorsement of 1000, 900 votes than
any other platform ever received up
to that time; that it received an alb
solute majority that year OF consider
ably more than half q million of the
white votes of this country;that where
the original stock which constructed
our government has retained its purity
and remains uncontaminated in the
South we find the vote for the Chicago
platform almost unanimous; that ID
that section of the country where men
carve out their own fortunes and by
their W labor and skill had brought
forth frem the bowels of the earth the
metals with which to make the coin OF
the Constitution (the West), and who
do not traffic in those coins for a liveli
hood. there we found the strongest
support.
Whether the $500, 900 white Ameri
cans, born and bred, who supported
the Democratic platform Of 1896 wer
right or wrong, there will be no deser
!, lions this zeal on account Ut the lacl
of character of those who voted for
in 1896, and if the Republicans expec
to win over any votes this year reason
must be brought forth Or it will take
greater political campaign fund tha'
!. did the campaign of 1886 to hold thei
t own, and it will avail them little t
: assail the respectability or 'civillza
: ton of the vote for the Democratl
party in 1896.
Whatever else may be said of tn
class of men who voted for Mr.. Brya
in 1896, the history of this countr
and of all other countries goes to sho'
that whenever constitutional libert
, and human rights are in jeopardy tina
\ is the class of people upon whom th
country will have to depend for ii
security. FRANK LYON.

cR0NJE N HIS MEN.

When the long roll call is sounded
On the camping ground OF tame,
And each hero of the ages
Answers "Present!" to his name,
Mid the first of all the n wers
That shall ring out clearest then
Will be heard the steadfast voices
OF brave Cronje ind his men.
When they felt the British lion
Drawing carer to his prey,
And they heard his growl of thunder
Growing deeper day by day,
They still fought with hearts undaunteo
Till all hope of aid had fled.
Till they saw their friends and brotners
Fen their women mid the dead.
They are victors, though defeated,
They have to the nations shown
| How the men of veldt and mountain
Can, though dying, hold their own
| Let their names be biaZoned proudly
On Times honOr-roll, and, when
| Men shall seek the names OF heroes,
Call brave Cronje and his men
