The Baltimore Sun has at last yield
ed to the inevitable and day before
yesterday began the publication of a
Sunday paper. The Sun held out for
many years. but the demand for pa
per on Sunday was so great that ii
could not afford to ignore it. Indeed.
If the Sun had not had such firm
grip upon the community in which it
is published it could not have held out
so long. Much of the prejudice against
the Sunday paper is without reason.
Most people have the idea that the
work on a Sunday paper is done on
Sunday. IN point of fact the work is
done during the week and on Saturday
and Saturday night The paper is de-
livered Sunday morning before most
people are out of bed. The Sunday
work is done on the Monday morning
paper and the Sun has been printing a
Monday morning paper ever since it
was founded.

4 CHANGE OF VIEW.

The DanvilIe Register says that rs
n general thing the more party nomi-
nations a candidate has. the fewer votes
he gets afterwards. IF :ne various
parties rendering the no1Gination to one
person stand for anything i'll principle
distinguishing them from each other
our contemporary goes on. lit is not
easily comprehended how one man can
spread himself over SO many platforms
and maintain his personal identity.
People prefer candidates who are not
pledged to perform Representatives,
Some Of us made similar arguments
when Mr.. William j. Bryan was a
candidate of the Democratic party, the
Populist party and the Free Silver Re
publican party. but the Danville Reg
lister was not then of the opinion that
it was impracticable FOR one man TO
be the candidate Of three political
parties whose cardinal principles We're
SO utterly unlike. We have often won
dered what Mr.. Bryan would have
done with these contending factions if
he had been elected President of the
United States i'll 1896. He was more
or less under obligations TO all Of them,
but if he had been true to Democratic
principles he could not have been true
10 the Popnlists and Free Silver Re
publicans; and if he had been true to
these he could not have been. true to
Democracy. No man can serve two
masters; it is Still harder for a man to
serve three masters. and there are 10
masters SO jealous and dictatorial and
arrogant as political parties.
1t cannot be too often stated nor too
strongly emphasized that the Demo-
cratic party is strongest in its integ-
rity. What We're it worth to the Dem
0cratic party to win i victory if ii
should in its victory be dominated by
PopuliSts and Republicans? The Dem
oc,atic party is not run in the interest
OF office holders Its mission in life
is not to find positions for those who
want Office. lis mission is first Of all
To put its principles into practice, and

This is one of the most difficult prob.
lens that the people Of Virginia have
eter been called upon to solve. On the
one hand is the organic law Of the
land, which Nirginians do not desire
TO violate or eyade. for they are a law
abiding people: on the other side IS
unrestricted negro suffrage. which has
proven to be Il curse TO the people of
this Commonwealth. and which las
brought Generalization far worse than

Its logical conclusion we Should have
all sorts directories in the penitentl-s
airy grounds running in competition
with factories on the outside. We re-.
call that several years ago when nenl.
Tertiary factories Were employed u
manufacturing tobacco a drummer
from 4 factory in q neighl>oring town
came home from one of his trips
through, the South with the report that
de met these pcnitentiary goods NJ
every turn and was unable to compete
with them in price. The penitentiary
ought not to be a manufacturing in
stitution nor a money-ma1ling lnstitu-
rion. We do not believe Tint the state
is under any neral obligation to teacn
the convicts 4 trade.
One of the most popular plans is to
work the conyicis on the public roads
of the State. But this seems to us to
be im7racticahle, and we have very
grave doubts if there would be any
substantial results in the State at
large. If all the conricts could be en-
ployed in one county for q considerable
length OF time the roads Of that par
ticular county would undoubtedly be
improved But when it comes to dis
tr-ibuting the convicts throughout all
the. counties in the State, there would
not be enough to do much good.
We have long been of the opinion
that the best system Of dealing with
convicts is to locate then on n large
plantation and work them in such 4
way as no make the institution self
sustaining. The competition with otn-
or farmers in the State would amount
to little or nothing and would not be
detrimental TO the agricultural inter-
ests of the Commonwealth. The con-
yicts could produce all their food sup
plies and have something to spare, the
women could be employed in weaving
cloth and in making clothes for the
convicts. and there might be black
smith shops and other shops to keep
the machinery of the farm in repair
On the old-timc plantations OF the
South practically everything necessary
to the maintenance Of the slaves was
produced on the plantation and we do
not see why this should not be the case
