TIME TO STOP.

II is natural that tho people OF fich-
mond should be intensely Interested IN
the murder of Mr.. John ". Scott ard
that they should be greatly desirous OF
running down the murderer, whoever he
may be. and bringing him to justice.
Every good citizen ought to lend his aid
to the police, but when it comes to idle
and reckless suggestions against this cltl-
zen and that. without any ground what
eyer for them, the time has come to call
a halt Nobody. seems to be safe against
these reckless whisperings.
Fellow citizens, let us reflect what Il
serious thing it is to charge n man with
murder, even when there is ground for
suspicion. But to connect 4, respectable
mans name with such crime upon Il
mere surmise is wicked, not to say crinei-
nal, and it is time to stop. Such whis-
perings are unworthy Of Us as q respccta-
BILE community.

We got along very well with a high tariff
SO long as we did not court the foreign
trade. but we are now compelled to nave
foreign markets for our surplus pro
ducts, and il VIC expect to sell to tho

There has been a great deal of srum-
bling abroad within the past several
months against the selfish policy of the
United States, and the foreigners have
been threatening to close their markets
against us II we are altogether selfish
we cannot expect the foreigners to be

Some time ago the Norfolk virginian-
Pilot said: Congressman swanson's dis
trict (5th) gavo Montague only $50 major
ity. Senator Martins district 9TH gave
him only 25G majority. Now, how was
that?
And the Petersburg Index-Appeal re-
piled: We can't speak by authority, but
perhaps it was because election officers

The Danyiile Register characterized the

shot, and the Danville Free Press makes
this reply to the whole:
A close analysis OF the recent vote in
tho Fifth District is a most profitable
study dor those who desire to understand
the institutions OF our beloved country.
And just here We viii say that the text
book of the Firginian-Pilot contains q Sc
rious typographical error, which We has
ten TO correct. The Fifth District, though
Democratic and returning, regularly a
Democratic Congressman fer many years,
and despite the fact that the negroes did
not como out in full force on the 5th of
November. not only did not give the
Democratic candidate for Governor a ma
E1ogo q majority of $40. This, at least,
was q center shot square in the back of
thu Democratic candidate.
The Petersburg Index-ADpeal offers a
tentative and ad honinen explanation Of
the Old Fffths behavior But let US see
what is implied in it,
There is first an assumption that cleo
ton officers have been carrying elections
regardless of voters and that they re-
formed for this special occasion.
Those who have jutifed unfair election
methods have done so ON the ground that
they We're necessary tor the preservation
OF our civilization and white supremacy.
Never mind about the soundness OF that
plea at this time, when we are on the ad
hominem lire ourselves.
Now, on the Index-Appeal's theory, the
party machinery of the Fifth District
must have lost sight OF our civilization
just at a time when its own orators were
telling us that 1t was greatly innperilled.
It is a fact that said party machinery has
never been credited with any love for Mr..

supposed TO represent IN the contest Of.

TARIFF AND RECIPROCITY.

Mr. Charles IIeber Clark, of Fhiiadel-
phia, is a member of the Reciprocity
Convention in washington. but it is man
ifest from his speech that he is not mitch
OF an advocate of reciprocity. He Open
cd his speech by reading the reciprocity
plank OF the Philadelphia platform, and
insisted that that was the only kind Of
reciprocity which should have consider
ation-one which should '.open our mar
kets on favorable terms for what we do
not ourselves produce in return fer free
foreign markets." fIc declared that the
United States had gained nothing from
reciprocity with Canada, from 1864 to 1866;
that Great Britain. under the preferential
tariff which Canada gave the mother
country In 1898, had really gained nothing,
and that when the United States ana
Brazil set up q reciprocity agreement the
years had not been as prosperous for this
country as subsequently under the Ding
ley tariff. lie believed that the South
should stand by the North and strive 10
make better goods instead of trying to
get the Oriental market in competition
with Gpoas mace IN -aahcheStcf. Inc
thing to do he concluded, is to head
off the forty millions Of goods from
France and not let down the bars to lie,
In fifty millions while we put up the
bars to let cut twenty millions. If you
are going to put the knife into cotton and
woollen goods there arc plenty of men

If NE could continue to sell our goods
to the foreigners and at the same time
prevent the foreigners from sending their
goods to us there might be something,
from a purely business point OF view, in.
what AR. Clark says. But it does not
stand to reason that we can continue to
seii to the foreigners while we continue.

teen minutes from the Battery to Harlem

the underground express trains that VIII
be used in the tunnels, however, there is

From the Battery to 10th Street in
New York on the west side is something
like twelve miles. Well, from Park Row
to 10th Street it is figured that the new
service will take only fourteen minutes.

A WARNING TO VIRGINIA,

Ex-Governor Johnston, of Alabama, has
issued a statement asserting that the rati-
fication of the Alabama Constitution was
obtained by gross frauds. he says that
the counties in which the white voters
predominant gave a majority against the
Constitution, but that enough votes were
fraudulently counted in the counties
where the colored voters predominant to
overcome the white majority and to Sc
cure an apparent majority for the Con-
stitutio1.
We take occasion to remark for our
part that it would be infinitely better 10
proclaim the Virginia Constitution than
to have ii ratified by tricllery and fraud,
And VIC hope that. the members of the
Constitutional Convention are all of that
opinion
