BIG DAY I'M LYNcHBURG.
Magnificent Trades Parade Growing Event
OF Carnival.
Especial Dispatch to The Times

Special Dispatch to The Ttmcsl
LYNCHBURG, VA, Oct. T.-For the
third time this week Iynckourg again
turned out to do honor to King Carnival.
and If the other days were great, to-day
was simply immense. Main Street was
packed and damned with people, and at
times the crush was SO dense that 1t was
simply impossible to move from one point
to the other. The Trades Parade was a
brilliant success, and was participated IN
by the Fire Department, travelling sales
men on horseback, Company X, United
States Cavalry, Captain George Lang
horne commanding: two military cornpa-
MES four bands Of music and about one
hundred floats 1t was wonderful spec
tacle, and far surpassed anything of the
kind that has ever been seen in this sec
ton of the State.
The earnest rivalry among business
houses resulted in d remarkable display.
One float OF solid white, with beautiful
young ladies' in white pouring cornuco-
pas into the street, was drawn by forty
horses, handsomely caparisoned. Several
floats in violet and white, with lovely
young women in Respondent costumes,
attracted much attention
Other floats contained factories and
bakeries in full blast, showing black
smiths busily at work and ca:rriagemak-
ers hammering and saving. 1t was a
memorable picture.

tary Gage to come to the rescue u
short time ago and purchase Govern 4
ment bonds at a high price in order
TO put the money back into circuia-
Z ton. There are those who say that
the Government ought to issue all the
money and ought to exercise a super
vision over the finances and business
of the country generally. But Secre-
targ Gage, who is 4 man Of affairs and
who has for several years been at the.
head OF the Treasury Department. does
not believe in any such nonsense.
While under orr SYSTEM, said he in
another part of his address, 1.-The peo-
pie constitute the Government, yet in
its organization the Government is 4
legal entity, separate, distinct, imper-
sonal. Within its proper sphere of ac-
tion it is supreme, but it cannot tran
scend these limits without harm to IT
self and Injury to the people. In other
words, there are laws superior to the
Government laws which it cannot defy
and escape penalty. They are not
written laws. but they are discovera
ble-these higher economic laws which
have a way OF self-operation, blessing
the obedient and banning the violator.
Of these all men and all Governments
Should be afraid. and to their man
dates respect should be shown.
That is an old truth apty and force
fully expressed. The Government mas
its function, but the more it separates
itself from the business affairs OF lie
the better off the Government will he
and the better off the people will be.
The laws of trade are as sure as any
other natural laws. and we can no
more regulate these processes by nrl-
1iciai legislation than we can regulate
the force of gravity. 1t is time-hon-
ored American maxim that the least
governed people are the best governed
people. We may say with the same
i1uthfulness that the least governed
trade is the best governed trade.

Mr.. CAGES SENSE.

Secretary Gage made one of his sen
sible speeches before the American
Bankers Association. ut Milwaukee,
on Wednesday last, in which he eN-
pressed the opinion that there is too
close an intimacy between the Gov
ernment's finances and our commer-
cial affairs In every country said
he in celebrating the subject, there
is more or less intimate relation be-
tween Government tinances-debt and
taSa1ion--and the general commercial
or industrial affairs of such country.
In our own country that intimacy has
been, and is. injuriously close. Memory
readily recalls those periods when our
whole financial and industrial progress
has been severely checked while great
questions relating to the condition of
the TREASURY or the standard of money
have awaited decision.'
We need not speak OF The agitation
of the silver question several wears
ago. Everybody knows how much
harm that did, but fortunately thar IS
question of the past. However. ever,
at this time Of peace and prosperity,
{ when There is more money in circ,lia-
ZION than eyer before in the history Of
the country, money is scarce in New
i York, and it has been feared FOR some

Many years ago a worthy citizen, while
at work on Harrison Street, was Killed
under circumstances similar to #those OF
Mr.. O'Brien's death. For several hours
the affair was profound mystery, which
was finally cleared up by the Mayor OF
the city. who lived on the Heights. and
who stated that at the time ofsthe killing
he had fired a lnuslSet at some object IN
his yard. a bird perhaps. and the fatal
ball correspondent to the one he had tired.
These examples should be a warning to
all persons against the careless use OF

Should impress upon the police and other

n1ent Of the ordinance we have mentioned
|. Speaking of MI Mlontague's speech
in Roanoke city on Saturday night, The
Times says:
1t is seldom that a more comprehen-
sive clear and altogether satisfactory
speech is heard than this particular
one and it cannot be doubted that it
will result in much good. Those VINO
listened to the arguments of Mr.. Mon
tague and heard his concise, amphe
presentation of the claims of the Demo
cratic party in Virginia. could not go
away without renewed enthusiasm ana
greater hopefulness. But there was
something more to this speech. 1t FUR
nished the Democrats with that mate
rial needed for the furtherance OF their
cause. They now know where theii'
leader stands better than before and
can refute the many false statements
made concerning him. One such state
ment concerning Mr.. Montague was
that he had declared that no white man
SHOULD be disfranchised, a statement
that placed him in narrow and aWk-
ward position. He said nothing OF this
kind in Roanoke and surely he was
frank enough when he spoke here.
What Mr.. Montague stands for, and we
are glad to say it, is white man supre-
macy obtained fairly and squarely and
without injustice. to any. He believes
that in perpetuating the white mans
control and in helping him the negro
can be helped. That this will be accom-
plished by means of property quali1l-
cation he does not claim. And here Is
where the greatest injustice has been
done him. 1t has been said that he had
declared that the Constitutional Conven-
ton would impose a property qualilca-
ton and this has been used and reused
until there are not a. few who believe 1t.
He says that SO far as the convention
had gone there has been no attempt to
pass such a qualification and that not
one of the three plans submitted has
such a provision in it. And he is right.
Mr. Montague has been misrepresented.

THE DUTY OF TIE HOUR.

We are gratified to see disposition
on the part of Democrats throughout
the State ITO nominate good and com
petent men for the Legislature, ana we
are gratified also to see that NUM-
Der of leading men in this community
and that are showing disposition to
serve even at great sacrifice to their
personal affairs. But this is a time
when leading citizens are called upon
to make sacrifices for the good OF the
State. and the State has the same
claim in peace upon her sons that she
has in time Of war. The next Legisla-
ture will be one Of the most important
sessions of the General Assembly uhat
has been held in this generation, If not
indeed the most important. for, as mas
been so often stated, the body Will
be called upon to make a new Code to
conform to the new Constitution, and
it will be 4 work for experts and pa
triots. The members must not only
be willing but they must be well quail
fled for the complicated work.
not only have good nominees, but VIC
must elect them There is some dis
satisfaction throughout the State and
some grumbling here and there, and,
we fear, much Indifference. Virginia
Democrats must arouse themselves.
This is no time for gTumbling or in
difference. It would be scarcely less
than a public calamity for the RepuD-
lican party with its negro cohorts TO
get control Of the affairs Of State.
Democratic rule is necessary to good
government, TO the prosperity OF the
State and to the public peace. The
campaign will soon be ON in full force
and it will be a campaign in which
Virginia Democrats should take the
keenest interest. Our plain duty is to
elect Montague, Willard and Anderson,
and tirst-class Democratic Legisla-
ture.
