the old days the Indus marked the di-
vidipg lines between the Indian races
and the Afghan or central Asian
tribes, and at that time PeShawur was
well within the territory and infiu-
ences of Afghanistan. Even now the
city itself retains all it's old character
istics and is still an almost unknown
town.
The British cantonments are two
miles from Peshawur, and all the
white people have clustered about the
troops at that point, the result being
Il beautiful, well-kept town. No white
people live in Peshawur, excepting one
family of missionaries, while as for
visitors, there hardly dozen white
men who enter the walls of Peshawur
in a months time.
A big wall about fifty feet high sur
rounds the city, at one end Of which is
Il gigantic fortress where garrison
of British soldiers is stationed. Can
mons are constantly trained down on
the town, for there is always danger of
an outbreak among the 100000 Afridis
and Afghans who combine to make up
its seething, squalid population. White
civilians are cautioned against enter
ing the city without an escort, and
no one is permitted to enter its gates
at nightfall. The British soldiers and
officers seldom go into the town.
The Peshawur cantonments are

clubs. guest nights at the messes, and
many other amusements. The surpris.
ing part of it all was that one should
find so much gayety in such an out-of-
the-way place and that within two
miles of all that modern life should be
a great city almost unknown and al
most rs mysterious as the capital of
Tibet. But some one has said that
India is land of strange contrasts,
and he must have known.

Mr.. Montague must have made
some very plain talk about bossism
at Leader Hall, Manchester, on the
night of May the 3rd. 1t is time
some one should express what thous-
ands of democrats have long felt in
this State, says the Northern Neck
News. The democrats of Virginia
are so loyal that they stick to their
party under all conditions; believing
that reform in its ranks should come
from within and not from without.
But, they will not long abide a boss
or anything that sma cks of bossism.
That is one of the reasons of Mr..
Montague's strength with the masses.
They believe he stands against the
boss idea and and that idea is OBJ
noxious to them.

Senator Cockrell, of Missouri. in

free trade in sugar and tobacco, that
they were not in a condition to make

had nothing that could bind them:
that while did not vote for the
Plat amendments in the Senate.
yet believed it was best for them
to accept their provisions. l told
them plainly that there was one
universal sentiment in the United
States which they should know in
sdVance-that we would never per-
NIT the Island of Cuba to pass under
the control of any foreign govern
ment; that, for our own personal
security we would not tolerate the
presence of foreign unfriendly
government there, and that we want
cd them free, independent repub-
lie, our neighbor and friend, and
that if they accept these amendments
they could then provide for the elec-
ton and organization of a republi-
can government, and when so organ
lied 1t would be capable of settling
ell economic questions with the
United States by treaty stipulation. 4"

The Commoner, Mr.. VIM. J. Bry-
ans paper, recently reproduced an
extract from an article in the Rich
mond Times on the subject of divi-
sion of the school fund IN Nirginis,
and also Senator Daniels letter on
that subject, rs printed in The Times.
Mr.. Bryan quotes approvingly the ex-
tract from The Times as well as Sen
stor Daniels letter, and adds these
comments:
The question raised Is one of very
serious mpOrtance-of far greater
Importance than the educational
qualification which has been adopted
ia some of the States An educa-
tlonal qualification, however obiec
tlonabie II may seem AT the time, is
only temporary barrier, for with u
proper school system the franchise is
soon within the reach of all; hut TO
dlStranchise the negro by an educa
toual qualification and then DENY
him the means of getting an educa
ton, Is much more serious matter.
While 1t may seem hardship for
the white people To- bear so large n
share as they do of the expenses of
instruction for colOred children. they
find some recOmpense in the fact that
they own a large share of the taxable
property. In no State of the Union
Is there an attempt to make each
family or class pay for it's own educa
ton. In every community the ex-
pense of public schools is paid bv
general taxation.
Very often large tax payers have
few children or none at all, but they
are compelled 10 contribute TO the
support of schools because every citi-
zen of a community is interested ia
the education of all the members of
the community. Life and property
are more secure and existence more
tolerable IN proportion as the people
are developed in mind and character.
If the people of Virginia are
snoTtslghIeu enough 10 yield 10 the
temptation and abandon their efforts
to educate the black people among
them, they will pay terrible pen
atty in being compelled to live among
people brutslized by ignorance. The
amount of money saved would be a
small return for the peril which thev
would bring upon themselves and
their children. Jefferson, whose
dust makes sacred the soil of MONT
cello, was a firm believer in g com
mon school system which would
place the advantages of education
within the reach of every child.
Surely Virginia, the home of Jeffer
son, will not be the first State to en-
ter upon restrictive policy which
would condemn a portion of the
people to enforced illiteracy.

tendent. / entered this fight for
school superintendent at the solicita-
OF few of my friends here, and
many of them knew that advocated
Montsgue's nomination long before l
had any idea of seeking the position.
By-the-wsy, if Mr.. Wilson had gone
more among the people (the mssses)
ne would change his opinion as to
the sentiment of the county regard
ing the fight for the gubernatorisl
nomination. The people are for
Montague, and if they turn out to
the primaries he will be the one who
will capture two thirds of the dele
gates and not Swanson. Why, the
districts of Greenwsy and Chapel
two years ago voted for Senatorial
reform, of which Montague is the
leading exponent in the State today,
and Martin and Swanson and the
rest of the machine are known 20 op-
pose this principle and were respon-
sible for it's defeat in Virgins. The
people haven't forgotten the efforts
those men made to deny them the
privilege of expressing their opinion
directly in the election of United
States Senators.

lBy One Associated press.l

Lincoln, Neb.. May I'm a statement
made today. w. j. Bryan takes Senator
McLaurin. of South Carolina, to task for
what he declares is his political flop. Al
the same time Mr.. Bryan admits that SEN
ator McI4aurin's action marks the be-
ginning of movement in the South, which
will have an influence upon the politics
of the nation. He saws:
ut is not likely that Mr. McLaurin will
be the leader of the movement because
he is handicapped by the fact that he is
using his official position to misrepresent
the views and interests of his constitu-
ents. but some leader will arise TO give
directions and force to the aristocfacy
and plutocratic element for which Mr..
McI.aurin speaks. There is such an ele-
ment in every community, and now that
the race question no longer unifies the
white people OF the Southern States, II
will doubtless manifest itself.
Senator Tillman has already taken up
the gauge of battle thrown down By
Senator McLaurin and will doubtless be
able to marshal considerable majority
in that State, but the same influences
are at work in other States. where there
is greater danger of their success.
THE Democratic sentiment is strong
enough to resist and overcome the Nc
Laurin movement. but those who believe
that the man is more important thar
the dollar. will have to bestir them
selves"
