THEN AND NOW,

Two editorial articles have appeared re

contemporary the Lynchburg News, which
interest us no little One OF these has tt

referring TO the failure OF the London anG
Globe Finance Corporation. the News re-
| calls that the failure of Barring Brothers
in London several years ago was the be-
ginning of the financial depression which
was felt throughout The commercial world
in the early nineties, the effect III the
United States being no less marked and
no less disastrous than it was IN England
1T required five or six years. says our
contemporary, Ito recover from the de-
preston, but the recovery is now COM
plete, the recent failures in London caus-
ing scarcely a ripple in the New York
money market The News declares that
this fact is an indication that New York
is becoming. if it has not already be-
come. the financial center of the world,
and also indicates the changed attitude
OF the United States towards the money
markets OF iofelSn countries, ana II duuS.

fears that the crash in London will be fol

pHIM ARIES AND NOMINATIONS.

The statement that the party leaders
have practically decided to hold primary
election TO select delegates to the Guber-
material Convention, instead of ward
meetings as had been previously sug-
gested, will be received with a great deal
of satisfaction by the public Of Rich
mond. and the reason is not obscure, for
in a primary the worldngman and the
peace-loyer. who is often the best citi-
zen, has Il chance to make his views
heard which is often denied him abso-
lutely by the ward meetings where judg-
ment goes by clamor and choice by voci-
ieratiou.
The primary when properly exercised
and when only one question is before the
people, comes as nearly giving the public
wishes as be obtained under any
known form Of government. There are
great numbers of methods that have been
discussed. such as giving the minority a
chance TO vote as was done in the Tyler
Ellyson fight OF '97, but the details do not
effect the spirit of the primary as opposed
10 ward meetings. 1t is striking fact
that when a question is brought before
the people directly, in voting TO affirm
rr reject a Constitution or to choose be-
tween two candidates where sufficient in
ierest is taken to bring out large per-
rentaSc OF the voters, the judgment OF
the people is more than apt TO be sound
and their confidence is rarely misplaced.
And it should he SO, for in matter of
IL; no o. 4
is given a chance TO make its weight felt.
But when voters are required to go out
at night after a hard days work to a
noisy and crowded hail. and amid the
ciamor and personalities of a holly con-
tested fight decide who they wish to send
rs delegates, a responsibility and a diff
Guilty are presented that deter u great
number Of men whose Judgment is of the
utmost need to the welfare of the com
1nunity from participating in the form
of election so proposed, and the result
is that the cry of ring rule is raised on
The day after the election is held.
In Virginia it is doubly important that
The primary be held in matters of this
sort, for the nomination carries the GER
tainty Of election and the choice of the
delegates carries the nomination. Every
voter therefore. is entitled to the best
and surest known method Of making his
preference known and felt, FOR the pub
JIG knowledge Of the voters wishes does

have been murdered by his partner,

The fool had asked for no advice,

But the wise man had him buttonnoled,
And so he had to stay!

CURRENT IOPICS.

The statistician of the Department of
Agriculture has supplied the New York
Times with statement for several
years Of the quantity and farm value of
leading crops, from which it appears that
nine crops We're worth to the farmers
S2,275, 1852 in 1900, an increase of s24S,
$50, 29S over 1899. The increase is over y
per cent. III round figures the increases
over 1899 were as follows: Corn, Sl2I.-
100000; wheat, s46oO0,000; buckwheat,
81 900, GOO; hay, S2S,Ooo00o; cotton, $4,000,
900. The decreases were: Oats, $40, 600;
rye, sl.Oo0,0 900; barley and potatoes, each
$4,000, oe0.
1T is not to be supposed, explains the
New York Journal of Commerce, that
this sum OF money has passed into the
hands of farmers, for the greater part Oh
the corn and hay, and a substantial part
of some of the other crops, was consumed
on the farm. But the value OF the crop
to the farmer is not impaired by the fact
that he can use it at home. OF these
nine crops much the largest value was re-
presented in 1900 by corn, followed after
a long interval by hay, then after com
paratively small intervals by cotton and
wheat, and this after long intervals by
oats and potatoes. The other three crops
in the aggregate reach only one-half the
value OF the potatoes.
The Roanoke Times says:
ut is said in Washington that at the
next session OF the Virginia Legislature
an amendment to the present separate
car law will be introduced, making the
measure applicable to all kinds OF street
railways. 1t is earnestly to be hoped
that no such foolish amendment will be
sought. The street railways of the State
are not in the business for the fun OF ii
and are, therefore, giving the best service
they can. 1t is to their interest to give
good service With such an imposition
as this upon them, the result will be that
she service will have to be doubled. OF
chat the public of both races will have
30 put up with half the service it now
enjoys With a railroad it is different
and the law was complied with, with not
| great deal of Inconvenience. If the
legislature does this thing it will he fol
owing an unwiSc and uncallcd for
curse that will do incalculabie harm to
the street railway interests Of the State.
We have seen no occasion in Virginia
or separate cars on the street railway
mes and we do not believe that there
S any general demand on the part OF the
whites for such Il measure.
