Fair Play in Politics.
{ Warrenton Virginian }

II there il one thing above another
which can be- said to the credit OF the
Virginia people it is that they believe in
fair play. Indeed the slogan Of Mr. Mon
tague's campaign was " a fair field and
no iavors. That the people and not n
few men should choose their public ser
wants: that every man should come
squarely before the people and submit
his claims and not depend upon any set
Of men 10 choose them for the people.
These principles inspired the public
mind until the whole people Of Virginia
seemed to arise TO assert them. And yet
no sooner have they spoken and selected
their own candidate for governor, than
do we find few men caucusing and con
ferring for the purpose OF naming for the
people their Attorney General, and as the
result. candidate ercandidate has been
urged to run. and finally two or three
have yielded 70 the urgent request Of
friends and agree to accept the honor
if rendered them.
How does this cOmport with the
principles of Mr.. Montague campaign,
which have been 20 heartily endorsed by
the Virginia people? We have no idea
that the candidacy of these gentlemen
was either inspired or approved by Mr..
Montague or that he was in any way
party to it, But it is being done by
those who were lOudest in the support of
him and his views, and to that extent
they are putting him in n false and incOn-
sistent light.

VIRGINIA potatoes are now in demand
in all the Northern markets at prices
ranging from 81 To s. a barrel. The Nir-
ginia netted gem cantalOupe is being rec
ognized all over the world a. being with
out a peer in flavor, and is in active de-
mand The lot of the man with the hoe
seems to be- improving so far a this state
is concerned Richmond Times
And why not still further improve
it by urging the adoption OF our recent
suggestion that a test farm be estab-
lished also in Tidewater for expert
ments in truck farming? The day
will never come to stay when We can
have dollar wheat and sixty cent
corn. and without such prices the
cerealiarmer will never become fnan-
cially Independent. There is more
money in. an acre of trucks than in
five OF wheat and corn when properly
understood and managed. The re-
suits To be derived from such a farm
willnot rebound entirely to the benefit
of Tidewater farmers; up country
farmers will learn Il little more about
raising trucks. by which they can
labor less and earn more The Char
lotte farm will be- of benefit almost
wholly to the up-country farmer, and.
since the State is to support it, it is
nothing but fair that another should
be so located as TO benefit the crop
pers of Eastern Virginia.

The Constitutional Onventionhas
a glorious opportunity to show its
friendship and accord Justice to the
farmers the tOilers of this land.
Mr. BristOw, of Middlesex. has intro
duced a resolution in the Convention
which seeks to exempt from taxation
the privilege of selling all products of
the farm and dairy that may be sold

manufactured. The water products
are also included in this measure. The
cities might rebel against curtailing
their right of demanding a license tax
for the selling Of these products, brt
the benefits to the farmer would be
great. Those who live in the vicinity
of towns and cities suffer under what
are oftentimes unjust license taxes,
and while artisansins some professions
are privileged to sell without tax
theirproducts and manufactures the
oppressed agriculturist is weighted
down with and often excluded because
