gave its support mainly to Mr.. Nc
kinley in nearly all the close States.
The agricultural vote divided as usual.
Small tradesmen and professional men,
in the main, voted according to their
previous party allegiance. The "finan-
cial element" constituted the only dis
tinct class. IL made itself conspicuous
alike for lis intolerance and its unscru-
pnious methods. For any consequent
popular distrust and dislike. it and the
Republican party are responsible.
They cannot escape that responsibility,
or shove it off on Mr.. Bryans shout
ders. Despite this illiberal and fanati-
cal clannishness of capital no man can
point out one single instance in which
Mr.. Bryan has appealed to the preju-
dices of labor. rather than to the judg-
ment of the individual laborer.
The Republicans inaugurated and
profited by classism in rolitics. 1t is a
matter of common knowledge For the
brutal conspiracy of the Trusts against
the citizen. this classism was primarily
responsible. That the Democratic party
and its nominee should appeal to the
citizen, as against the Trust, is logical
and entirely legitimate.

ITS WIRES Are CROSSED.

Tie Nirginan Pilot has n profound
respect for the Bel Telephone Com
rany. IL is distinctly n versatile in
sttution. II is equally an adept at
stringing wires ana yarns. 1t can give
plausible reasons chat are as long as
its longest lincs) why it should he al
lowed 10 do anything it wants to do;
whether it be to cut rates, or double
them. We do protest, however that it
sometimes does too little honor TO the
popular Intelligence
ly way OF example, it is now CON
tending Chat. in granting its franchise,
Councils did not violate the Southern
states franchise. "a franchise is
merely an ordinance" says the Bell
Company can one Council pass an
ordlnan that subsequent Council
cannot amend or repeal? Certainty
not. therefore our franchise merely re-
peals that part of the Southern States
franchise which pledged Councils TO
subject all telephone companies to the
same restrictions as the Southern
States Company"
RMS is very pretty and ingenious. Its
one drawback is that it isn't true. y
franchise is not only an ordinance, but
is likewise q contract. Under it the
party in interest acquires certain
rights that the City cannot violate
Otherwise, street car company that
has spent millions OF dollars, in put
ting in n system, could be deprived by
Councils of its franchise two years af-

forwards, and bundled out of town by
the mere shift OF repeating the ordi-
nance granting the franchise.
Councils can repeal the Bell Com
pany's franchise because they reserved
the right to do so. They cannot repeal
or amend the Southern States fran
chise. because they did not reserve that
right. IL the City Councils grant a
citizen or corporation certain rights
and privileges that are made the basis
of Investments, or even If they are not
subsequent Councils cannot infringe
those rights and privileges without the
power is reserved to them. Councils
therefore. could not. without the con-
sent of the States Company, legally
disregard their contract with that com
pany. which bound them to put the
same restrictions in all telephone fran
chises granted thereafter. 1t could no
more repeal that part of the ordinance
granting the States Company's fran
chise. than the States Company could
refuse to pay the city 3 per cent of
its gross receipts, or furnish it n cor
tain amount of service free.
The Bell Company has got its wires
crossed.

A REPUBLICAN, INCONSISTENCY

| "A good deal has been said bv tbo 20
publican press and Republican orator,
in this campaign about Democratic in
consistency In demanding freedom for

southern negro. The Virginian-Pilot
mas already exposed the fallacy or tb,+
particular argument, and does NOT nro-
pose to go into the merits of il f,rtber
Ihere is, however, a remarkable short
slShtedness on tile part of Republicans
IN advancing it that is worth noting
Let us suppose that the treatment of

of that fact? That the white man win
not allow the colored man an equal
share in government. Sensible men no
longer contend that the Northern white
man would act any different than the
| southern white man in this respect. Ii
the White man-as the Republicans AL
lege-has contrived, despite constitu-
tional amendments, to deprive n color
ed race living under the constitutions
and the flag, of an equal voice in the
government. is ii likely that the whit,
man will ever accord an equal voice
in the government to q colored race
that Is not under the protection of the
constitution-accord to Republican
statesmen?
| If the white man has robbed the ne
gro of his rights as n citizen after no
had been endowed with them is it like
~ that he is going to cndow the Fill
Pine with them hereafter?
1t is plain, therefore, that if the Re
publicans are telling the truth in their
attempts TO show Democratic incon-
sistency. they are booming the Filipinos
to permanent bondage. Nobody, in
fact who is at all informed believes
that the Filipinos will at any time.
however remote, be given the rights of
American citizens. 1t is against all his

the Dutch in Java; the United States
in Porto Rico. rule as the absolute mas
ters.
So far as the Filipinos are concern
ed. they will never be freemen as citi-
zens under the American flag. They
can he American vassals or Filipino
fieemen. There is no other choice
Their capacity for self government will
not have anything TO DO with their flu
ture. However great their capacity.
they will never have an opportunity to
exercise 1t if the United States retains
the Philippines. That is the way of the
white man, and he is not going TO
change his way.

That there is classism in politics at

TO question. We have come. in fact. to
a condition wherein it is possible to

IS TIE BELL FRANCHISE VOID,

The Bell Telephone Company has de-
termined to run the Southern States
Telephone Company out of Norfoll,
or absorb it, 1T wants to do this for
two reasons: In the first place, that
would give it Monopoly of the local
Held In the second place, it would va
cate the Southern States franchise.
It's reasons for wishing that fran
chise vacated are of the very strongest.
So long as the Southern States fran
chise remains in force it is n stand
ing menace to the Bell Company. and
constant reminder that there is n
iiaw' ana serious one, in the Bell
franchise; that would involve unpleas-
ant possibilities for the Bell Company.
1t might be called upon to indemnify
the city for damages incurred by the
city's breach of contract with the
Southern States Company. 1t is even
possible that the Bell Company's
franchise might be held by the Courts
to he illegal and void. because Coun-
ellis exceeded their powers in granting
it. in that it impairs the obligation of
the city's contract with The States
Company.
The Bcll Company seems to be OF the
opinion that If it can get the states
Company out of the way it's own fran
chse will then be cured of its illegali-
ty, as it would no longer be in CON
ilct with a city ordinance. Such. how
ever. is not the case. The Bell Com
pany's franchise cannot be thus lid
Of &c. tni INT Of II a.,
feotive-and it clearly seems to be So
it has been Illegal alb inifio and is as
though it never existed. -he Bell
Company. however. may be aware of
this, but be depending upon the
adage: What is everybody's business
is nobody's business" to enable it TO
establish Il Monopoly under its present
questionable franchise.
The Bell Company has another po-
tent reason for Wishing the States
Company's franchise vacated. That
franchise fixes Maximum rates. Just
so long as the States Company lives
profitably at those rates, ii proves that
the Bell Company is eXtortionatc if i;
exceeds them. This is awkward. 1t
rouses hostile sentiments i'll the bosom
of the man who is charged $22 a year
more for Il phone than he feels is fair
and just. This is troublesome and
loses the Bell Company business. So
long as the States Company remains,
also the Bell Company can not cut
rates without violating its franchise.
If it can once get the States Company
out of the way it can then maintain a
monopoly, because should an indepcnd-
ent company attempt to enter the field
the Bell Company can freeze it out
from the start by dropping its rates
before the other begins its service, and
therefore another reason why Councils
should fix specific minimum as well
as maximum TyTrus.
This should make it sufficiently plain
TO Councils what the objective of the
Bell Company is 1t is after a Monop-
oily, and it win get it if Councils do not
make a Monopoly useless TO the Bcll
Company and the American Telephone
Company by subjecting them to The
same maximum rates as the Southern
States Company, and also liking min
