IMPORTANT TAX PLAN.-Probsbly

IMPORTANT TAX PLAN.-Probsbly
one OF the most important plans of tax.
alton which will be before the conssitu-
lional convention is that being prepared
by Congressman Flood and Judge Har-
rison, OF Winchester. This plan, MIR.
Flood says, relieves real and personal
property of all State taxation. He says:
II believe it can be demonstrated that
These classes OF property need only bear
the burden of taxes for county and city
or corporation purposes and not for OPP
Grating the State government" The
most important suggestion, though,
probably, is that the effect of this plan
would be that the cities and towns
would have to surrender their rights to
tax railroads aud other corporations.
Mr.. Flood, who is member OF the
suffrage committee also, declares that
few or no whites will be dislranchised.
Il may say" says Mr.. Flood, that SUI
fioient progress has been made to estab-
lish the fact that the report OF the CON-
mittee will practically disfrsnohise no
white map. No matter whether the
right OF franchise be based upon prop
erty Or some other qualification, there
is not the slightest chance for suffrage
clause that will dislrsnchise any consid
cradle number OF white men. 1t will
carry out the Norfolk pledge upon this

ton reigued among the strikers this

Snperintendent Brown of the Clark

mills. Capt. Brown says the entire
plant will be In operation before the
end OF the week. "We have no trouble
whatever" be said, sin securing men.
Some OF those who went to work this
morning are old employees and some
are new. We have many applications
on file and will send out word today to
those to whom we can give employ
ment. Everything is running smoothly
and we expect no trouble" Captain
Brown denied the report that negro
workmen were being brought to the
CITY. He said he was able to secure all
the M on he coald find places for from
Piltsburg.
The throDg OF strikers surrounding
the Clark mills Is very orderly and
there is not the slightest indication OF
disturbance. The strikers said that
they would make no efforts to get the
men at work to quit their jobs. The
shipment OF Welsh block tin plate to
this country to supply the market, i'm
ported since the strike began will be
brought to the notice of the national
republican committee by the Amalsa-
mated Association. They will recall to
the committee the hue and cry raised
In favor OF homemade tin some years
ago when it wss popular issue. Pos
sibly nothing of Importance will come

day; no signs of trouble OF any kind
Four mills are running all the time sod
two mills only one turn each. The de
serters rom the strikers ranks refuse Il

The STATE democratic convention
will meet 10 Norfolk next Wednesday.
So far as the ticket to be nominated is
concerned the convention has, or should
have, plain sailing. Mr. Montague won
his fight for the guberuatorial nomina-
ton and will be nominated on the first
ballot without any fsctional opposition
from Mr.. Swanson, or bis friends who
so calamity stood by him. Captain
Willard went boldly into the clnvass as
q candidate for Lieutenant Governor,
secured majority Of the delegates and
deserves the nomination. The same
can be said OF Mr.. J. L. Jeffries, who
made the canvass for Attorney General,
and, 1t is believed, has secured q ma
jority OF the delegates who favor him
for the position. There would be no
doubt of his election, which he de-
serves,-as he was the only man who at
the beginning announced his csndi-
dacy for the position aud made the
fight for it throughout the State-but
for the fact that be lives in the Eighth
district, the same district 10 which lives
Captain Willard. But that should not
be urged against him. He has done
good service for the democrats of Vir-
ginia in every congressional district,
and has always promptly answered TO
their calls and the selection of two cam
dates on the ticket from the same section
of the State is by no means unusual and
would establish no bad precedent. II
Captain Willard and NJ. Jetfries are
suitable candidates the mere fact that
they live in the same district should
not bar the nomination OF either. When
Gov. Holiday was elected. Attorney
General Field, from the Same section
OF the State, was on the ticket with him,
and the same can be said OF Governor
Fiizhugh Lee aud Attorney General r.
Taylor Scott.

was the only judicial officer who could
be persuaded to issue the warrants
against Garfield. His friends assert
that In Issuing the warrants he has In

publican, and the republicans are in

cater to the local sentiment, which
fsvors permitting betting at the race

"WEDNESDAY EVENING. AUG. 7. 1901.

AT TINE when so many were
breathing easier in the belief that the
turbulent sea incident to the late strike
of the amalgsmsted iron workers was
being allsyed, the waves and the sea
are again made to roar by the order oil
President Shaffer for strike next sat
urdsy. There are doubtless many
wives snd children who are viewing
this procedure with no little spprehen-
sion. But little OF the summer is left.
The fall will soon be Oh, bringing the
MANY wants of housekeepers-the
change of appsrel-the preparations ior
the winter with the necessary Increased
cost of living. The. thoughtful house"
wife. with her multiiudinous cares, is to
have apprehension added TO her onr'
dens when she sees the bread
winner idle. A few years ago,
when Coxey armies we're on the
road and the land swarmed with the
unemployed, men appeared at our WIN
dow sills as much suppliants for food ss
the snow birds which chirp against the
panes when the earth is carpeted In
white. There were no strikes then.
The grim issue-how to keep the wolf
from the door-absorbed everything
else. But times have changed in the
natural order OF things. With no
thanks to the political principles
thrust upon the country There
is work now OF some sort for sll who
desire il. There has been spurt in
most branches of Industry. The hum
OF machinery go long silent and the
clank of the anvil evidence better or
der Of things, temporary though it may
be, but, sad as it may seem, thousands
who short time ago emerged from en-
forced idleness are ready at the ipsi dixit
ola labor leader to lay down their tools
aud bring TO stop the wheels a short
time ago they rejoiced to see revolving
once more. Without espousing the
cause Of either party in this unfortunate
contest between employer and en-
ployee, we will but re-echo the convic-
ton of the maDy--that some effectual
agreement should be reached between
the parties to the dispute in order that
q large portion of the country be not
convulsed at every change OF the moon.
Since time began there have been
grievances among artisans and will be
unto the end. Some maybe real; Others
doubtless are imaginary. For ought We
known to the contrary Tubal-cain, the
first known artifcer and worker in
brass and other metals, may have had
trouble with those of his craft In ante
diluviap dsys which tarmoils were
brought to en- end by the food. We
are told there will not be another food
but labor excitements often bring a
food of trouble not only to the partic-
Ipants in the turmoils, but to many
Others who are pierced through with sor-
rows by the indiscreet acts of seitators.
The Alexandria machinists, apparently
wiser 10 their day and generation, saw
all this and avoided X by refusing to
quit work at the Southern Railway
shops at the behests OF few men from
another city.

northern audience. The truth has only
to be told and explained to white men
OF any section OF the country for them
to fully realize and understand the con-
dition OF affairs 10 the South. Ii the
northern newspapers would inveign
half as much against the cause OF the
lynchings 10 the South as they DO
against the lynchiugs, they might &C.
couplish more good. Senator Iii
mans plea 10 justification OF lynching,
40 q nunisbmeut for brutal assaults, rs
in accord with the views OF a majority
Of white men, whether they live In the
South or 10 the North. he bases his
plea on chivAlric grounds, contending
that ordinary legal processes are inap-
plicable to cases OF certain character
because southern women cannot be
brought into court to testify to their
shame before Q jury for the purpose OF
conVicting q black brute, who through
a auabble OF the law might escape scot
free. The Senator also undoubtedly
voices the prevailing sentiment OF the
South when he denies the equality OF
the black man with the white, and an
uounces that the whites will govern
the South 10 their own way.
