THE ACTION of the republican Con-
oressional committee of the Eighth dis
trjct at Manassas yesterday in unani-
mousIv determining to hold a convention
in this city on September 20 and NOM
mating a candidate for Congress was a
surprise to many, as it was expected the
committee would adjourn without re-
solving on such a course. The fact that
the district is strongly democratic ana
that in the ordinary tide of events the
election of republican to Congress from
this section is almost an imposslblllty,
has caused many to speculate on the
real object of the committee. The time
when certain people endeavored to Sc
cure the nomination for the purpose OF
advertising themselves before the adj
ministration has passed, and the con-
clusion that something more important
is in contemplation has been reached by
some who watch the political sky There
is always more or less suspicion in poll
tics, and the more penetrating seers are
discerning what they believe to be the
real object of the republicans. BY the
provisions of the new constitution OF
Virginia many colored people who here
tofore cast votes will be deprived Of
franchise, and an opportunity will be
afforded the party in whose interests
they invariably vote to test the validity
of the new election laws, which they
will not be slow in doing, and should
the next House of Representatives be
raniiblican and a contest come before
the elections committee the outcome
would cause no little apprehension to
the democrats of this district, especially
should the party in power have need OF
another member of the lower house.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. JULY %, 1902.

THE EXTRAORDINARY announcement
is made that President Roosevelt VAL
expect each member of bis Cabinet 70
mount the stump in his interests in the
approaching campaign. This Is an en-
tirelv new departure in American poli'ics,
and the most interesting feature is
that the action of the Cabinet officers
will be due to direct intimation from
President Roosevelt that he desires them
TO 90 forth and war in his behalf. The
President himself is to make campale II
speeches during the fall, which is I'M
usual. and he has told his Cabinet Of
6cers that he wants them to do likewise.
In 1884, when the republican party
managers began to realize that there
was a likelihood of Grover Cleveland
becoming President, they compelled
James G. Blaine, then known as 1.-THE
tatooed man." to head the procession IN
the campaign and make speeches.
MANY republicans became Disguised at
the show and voted for Mr.. Cleveland
Previous to that time it had been re-
parded as beneath the dignity of Presi-
dental nominees to make speeches dur
ing a campaign; that work was lett Z
their champions. Grover Cleveland
was elected in spite of the circus anc
side shows in which the tatooed MAJ
was the prominent feature. Mr. Roose
welt is determined to 90 further than tho
the man from Maine. He will not only
climb to the top of the band wagon him
self, but compel the members OF hi
Cabinet to follow him. There Will 81

NEGOTIATION wrrH THE VATICAN.

NEGOTIATION WITH THE VATICAN.
Archbishop John Ireland, in an IN
teryiew in st. Paul yesterday reviewed
at some length the progress Of the negotia-
tons conducted between Judge Taft aud
the Vatican, and took to task certain
Catholic organizations that had assumed
TO question the fairness ofthe adminstra-
ton toward their co-religionist. The
archbishop said: eyes; the news from
Rome is quite satisfactory, and, lam sure,
unite correct. Private adyices coming TO
me from the most reliable source, confirm,
in all respects, the dispatches recently
published. The sovereign pontiff and
other Roman authorities are delighted
with Gov. Taft personally, and with
the negotiations in course of progress be-
tween him and the Vatican. Reports
sent out by the correspondents of certain
London papers to the effect that the
pontiff was displaced with the manner of
acting of commission of cardinals APP
pointed TO treat with Gov. Taft, were
absolutely unfounded As stated in this
mornings Roman dispatches, the pontilf
assured Gov. Taft that he was most salts
fled and happy at the results so far
obtained, and that he was confident the
negotiations begun in Rome would be
the starting-point of complete and
satisfactory solution of the question un-
der discussion. This statement sums up in
the most exact manner the situation as
the Vatican views it, and as it really is. "

TROUBLE IN FRANCE.-After the dis
tribution of prizes at school belonging
to an unauthorized congregation in the
Avenue Parmentier, Paris, yesterday,
violent speeches were made to the as
sembled crowds denouncing the govern
ments action in closing the establish
ments of unauthorized congregations.
Fighting ensued, the crowds breaking
through the police Gordon and shouting:
.'Vive la Libertep' Several of the
speakers were arrested Further dis
turbances and some arrests have occurred
in other places. The determined firm
ness with which the government is carry
ing out the law against unauthorized
congregations is lashing the clericals to
fury, which eliminated in yesterdays
disorderly demonstrations. Similar
though less violent, scenes accompanied
the closing of the schools and the depar-
ture of the teachers at other places. As
matter of fact, however, the clericals
are manifestly in a hopeless minority
throughout the country. Many munic-
ipal councils in all sections of France,
including those of snch important cities
as Lyons, Tours, Epernay and Beauvais,
are voting resolutions approving the
government $. action, congratulating the
ministry upon their frmness, and urging
it to continue its defense of civil society
against the encroachments of the
congregations.

THE necessity of a high school is now being impressed upon the minds of the parents of Flagstaff. There are now nearly a hundred boys and girls who are in need of the high school course. Flagstaff needs and must have a high school. -Coconino Sun.
 In this connection we want to say that we have thought over the scheme of a union high school, to be located at Flagstaff, for the bene- fit of the advanced pupils of the four northern counties. The scheme is all right, no doubt, for the pupils from the smaller and more isolated towns, but from Williams stand point it would seem unnecessary. We have a large two-story brick school building that has ample room for all present needs Now our pupils are only carried through the eighth grade-preparatory to entering upon high school work. This further work could be carried on right here with no, or little, ex- tra expense And it should be. In this way many pupils could re- ceive a high school education that would be imFos ible did they have to stand the expense made neces- sary by living away from home. Let us push the matter a little and advance our pupils in our own schools.
