The "Virginian Language" is the best on earth, in spite of the jealous sneers of The Montgomery Advertiser and The New York Sun-and we might add, The Charlotte Observer. True. The Charlotte Observer has not yet said anything, but we'll wager, on general principles, that it is sneering-Norfolk Landmark.
 But The Advertiser hasn't sneered. The Observer may be at it behind the door but we are not going to sheer at your Virginia Language" It is composed oi the English of the cavaliers and the mel nfluous syIlables of the Powhatans and while we do not admit that it is the best on earth we do admit that it is a splendid language.for Virginia!

 On not one of the important questions to come before Congress at the approach ing session--reciprocity, ship subsidies, tariff revision or the colonies there seem to be any substantial agree ment upon the part of the Republicans The g. 0. party is at sixes-and-sevens on all these matters, and with President left and going in strong for civil service reform the prospects are that there will be the. greatest party smash up in the near future that the country has wit messed since the days of Garfield and ConkIing.

Referring to the fact that Alabama has gained about twelve million dollars worth of personal property in the past year The Atlanta Journal says it would be more correct to say that "she has dis covered that amount which had been hid out before'' Some of the increase may be due to better assessments, but most of it is q real addition to that species of property. Alabamians are doing some prospering themselves.

Kansas has more ready money on hand at this moment than it ever had before in all it's history. Its banks are filled with cash. There is on deposit in the national and State banks of that State about SSS.- 000.O00, which is in the neighborhood of $50 for each man, woman and child in the State.
 The people of that State are evidently pursuing the plan followed by Pharaoh and are laying up while they have plenty. in order to be provided for when the years of famine come. We hope that time will not arrive, but certainly the people of Kansas have much reason to be thankful over their present condition.
 
 The Tampa Herald calls attention to the fact that the vote for the Demo- cratic candidate for Governor at the late election in Ohio was about O,O0O less than the vote for MT, Bryan in 1900, whereupon The Pensacola News thus comments:
 If the above means that the Ohio Bryan Democrats deliberately knifed the Democratic candidates, because the ma jority of Ohio Democrats had repudiated Bryanism and returned to genuine Demo- cratic principles the fact is one that reflects no credit upon that faction And if that policy is to mark future campaigns in other States, notwithstand- ing the almost universal demand for Democratic harmony as d prerequisite to Democratic success, the malicious en- joyment of another Democratic defeat win not be confined to the Republican opponents of Democracy

The voters of Alabama are too smart to be fooled with such b9lderdash. They remember how Governor Johnston warned them against the new Constitution, i'm plying that homestead rights, the right of trial by jury and other valuable priv ileges might be endangered. The framers of the new Constitution gave the people more power than they ever had before thus answering with actions Governor Johnstons wordY warnings.
