Naval officers, however, point out that
orders for this movement we're issued a
month ago and that with the Massa-

TIE proceedings OF the closing days
of the present session Of Congress are
sufficient to disgust every Intelligent
American, who is personally disinter'
ested. and has the slightest regard Tor
the welfare of his country, with repuo-
lican institutions as now conducted IN
the United States. Legislation is not
enacted for the good OF the people, or
even for that of the republican party,
but, leaving cut Of view all ideas OF
fraud and corruption, solely for the con-
ysnience of the President and the lead
ers of bis party. Schemes and projects
that are not only unconstitutional, out
bear on their face the very imprint OF
robbery, are hurried through, In order
that Mr.. Mckinley, bis Cabinet and
the members of bis Congress may be
SHARED the annoyance and trouble OF an

THERE Is no doubt of the fact that
many worthy white Virginians will be
denied the privilege of voting by the
imposition of an educational and proper
ty qualification upon suffrage, or that
some vicious negroes will retain that
privilege by that imposition, but those
who suppose that the former would not
prefer to stay away from the polls
than have whole wards, cities, counties
ADD districts of their State carried by
negro msjorities, to the injury of every
moral and material interest OF their
State, are ,gregiously mistaken. Some
Virginians are poor and illiterste, but
very few OF them are devoid Of the nstu.
raj feelings of their race. Nor will the
illiterate negro property holders object
to the qualifications referred to, as they
well know that they are 10 the same
boat with intelligent white taxpayers,
and that their property will be safer In
the hands of such people than 10 those
OF men elected by the votes OF ignorant
aui reckless members OF their own race.
