IS his peer in every respect. and is a
man of great ability surpassed by few
men in the State. The contest In this
district Is between Mr.. Clayton and Mr..
Glass. and both are true Democrats. We
hope to elect Mr.. Clayton, and we submit
to the better judgment of our big and
influential contemporaries that they ought
to keep hands OF and allow us to carry
on this friendly contest between worthy
members of the same party. without out
side Interference"
II this has any reference to the editorial
article which appeared in The Times, and
the only one which has appeared on the
subject our Bedford contemporary does
this paper an injustice. We defended
Mr.. Glass against the attack that was
made upon him by the Virginia Fedora
ton of Labor, and In the course OF our re-
marks we took occasion to pay hish
and deserved tribute to Mr.. Glass by way
OF emphasizing the fact that ORGANIZED
labor in Virginia was making mistake
to antagonize a man of Mr.. Glass cnat-
acter and record as a public man.
We distinctly stated, however, that II
was not our purpose to boost MIN as
candidate for Congress, and by way OF
emphasizing that statement we expressed
the emphatic opinion that he wouio DC
elected in spite of this opposition.
We assure our Bedford contemporary
however, that we did not have the siighe-
est intention Of meddling with local poll
tics in Bedford, and certainly not to dis
narage Mr.. Clayton, for whom we enter
tain the highest regard.
Mr.. Glass is brother editor OF "no1h

THE NoRTHERNER IN VIRGINIA.

Some time ago we said in an editorial
IN Virginia. farms that the question was
asked by outsiders why lands in Virginia
were so cheap, and that 1t was very
difficult for land agents to convince peo-
nlc in the West and Northwest that ianos
which could be bought for from five 70
ten dollars an acre possessed any real
value.
CORRESPONDENT writing from WED
more, Va, says that it is not from any
natural disadvantage that Virginia lands
arc hard to sell. 81 am familiar says
he, with the conditions in the North
and also in the West and Northwest, ana
nowhere have found place where ma
tire has been SO prodigal in her bene-
hcence as in Virginia, and yet thousands
of settlers are pouring into the woods OF
Michigan. Wisconsin and Minnesota ana
the bleak and uninhabitable plains OF the
Iakotas and windswept table lands OF
Montana, and there. building up pros
nerous and contented neighborhoods
while large sections of Virginia are &C
ture"
He then goes on to say that settlers
from the North and West come into Vir-
s:nia and buy lands and attempt to make
a home here, but in the majority of cases
go away Our correspondent knows OF
one place that has changed hands two or
three times in four years and was each
time occupied by family presumably IN
tending to make a home In this State.
He is informed that another place has
changed hands twelve times in eighteen
CT twenty years. He concludes:
at is idle to say these people are
wothless Yankees and wouldn't be
satisfied anywhere" There are vital and
substantial reasons for their discomfort;
these reasons are the root Of the apparent
anomily of such cheap land as are found
in many sections of Virginia. and, may
add, these reasons must be met fairly and
charitably by the pople Of the State II
they would see this most favored Com
1nonwealth occupy the place it should hold
in the sisterhood of States"
We do not know what our correspond
ent means by this. We do not know why
it Is not entirely agreeable to Northern
and Western and Northwestern people
to live In Virginia. The people of Vir-
GINA are hospitable and they cordially
receive any man from any section who
comes here with the honest purpose Of
making himself good and upright citi-
zen of Virginia. We cannot but think that
IL any such settler finds the situa-
ton otherwise it is his own fault. If his
residence is not agreeable it is because. in
our opinion, that he does not make him
self agreeable.
If northern man comes here and at
tempts to NEEDLE with our local politics
and change tho order of things which we
know to be necessary to good government,
il no tries to introduce customs that are
new and contrary to the usages Of South
ern society if he comes here as a mission
airy or revolutionist he will undoubtedly
be given the cold shoulder. But If he
comes in with the determination to con-
form to our customs and to be a good
virginan. he will find that living in this
old State Is altogether agreeable If not

~ Is Il
he has a respect also for the promises
which he makes TO his friends.
, It would be great mistake for the au-i
thorities Of the law to jerk these re-
porters up upon al occasions and make
them TESTIFY In court to every bit of tn-
formation of a general character which
the newspapers publish. To be moro
specific, we think that it would be- Al
mistake to mako the reporters give evil
dencee concerning alleged violations OF
the Sunday law in this city. If the re-
porters say that Sunday law has been
violated, that the saloons generally We're
open, the authorities may accept the
fact, for the reporters generally know
what they are talking about when they
make such allegations. But it seems
to US that it is quite sufficient for the
reporters to make the general statement;
it Is for the authorities to furnish the
detectives and supply the necessary evil
dence in court. II the reporters are
forced into this embarrassing position
they will be inundated and they will
be reluctant to report, even in general
way, fragrant violations Of the law.
Say what you will about the power Of
the press, the greatest powers of thes
daily newspaper is in its news columns.
It is publicity that the evil-doer is afraid
Of. He cares very little for editorials
of a general character, but when he Is
exposed in the public print he knows
that the day of reckoning has come for
him. Newspa pers should be held respon-
sible for the statements that they make,
and they are not in the habit of lodging
such responsibility. But it Is In the in
terest of public morals that newspapers
be encouraged to print the news, and it
would be contrary to public policy to
draw the lines so tightly as to make
them afraid to report attractions of the
law.

an honest man because he has enough
respect for his wife to wish her to sit
down and spend her evenings in his COM
rany, instead of spending it in the kitten
en-, which she had probably occupied two
thirds of the day. Show me t4Ae faces OF
those two women, and l will point out
to you without any trouble the face Of

has been married 200 years. presume
the wife feels that she has been married
1900 years. I wish to say to the man
that, thanks to some faithful wives and
mothers, we still have gentlemen among
us who. even il they live with wife
forty-five years, have enough love and
respect for that wife to tighten as much
as posslule the burden of responsibility
that falls upon every wife and mother
in ordinary circumstances. When you

ton of thinking that "AA. w. L. and
also "F. NJ" may read what one woman
