POLITICS BOILING.
Democrats Stamping the State in
Great Shape.

Congressman w. A. Jones spoke
to an appreclative audience at Tap
pahannock Monday. lie made an
eloquent and masterful arraignment
of the Republican party and the
trusts. There was no Republican
present to reply to Mr.. Jones, and
the crowd was altogether Democratic.
Hon. Eugene Wlthers on Monday
in Pittsylvania introduced Congress-
man Swanson, who came forward
amidst a storm of applause. Mr..
Swanson was in fine feather, and said
he had hoped to entertain his hearers
with a joint debate with Mr.. Davis.
but the latter acted as be did when
ne, Swanson" challenged him for a
joint debate at the opening of the
campaign at Rocky Mount, and
would not meet him on any terms
Davis record as member of the Con-
stitutlonal Convention was then gone
into. Mr.. Swanson then expressed
IN very strong terms his contempt for
man who would talk about another
in the chimney corner, and not to
his face, saying that one reason why
the Republicans had never won in
this district was because they had
never nominated a man who would
meet him face to face.
Senator Martin spoke Monday for
Congressman Rhea at Smythe court,
and made fine impression. lie
thought the new Constitution, while
1T brought needed change in many
directions, was chiefly to be praised
for eliminating the negroes, whom
the people had tried for thirty years,
and by spending $l2,OOO,O0O vainly,
to make into good citizens. If any
self-respecting white man had been
disfranchised, if you would look into
the matter you would find it was his
own fault. While free silver, i'm
perialism and other subjects of
transient Importance might obscure
temporarily the great dividing lines
between the parties the great issues
would come back. Taxation was at
the bottom of all government, and
with us taxation meant the tariff.
and the issues growing out of it. One
OF these was trusts. Hanna q year
ago said there were no trusts i'm this
country, and now Roosevelt said we
had two kinds, good and bad trusts,
as a natural evolution of modern
business methods. Mr.. Martin
thought the good trusts, like good
Indians, are all dead.

HEATHSVILLE'S FAIR

The weather last week favored the
talr-goers, and although there was 8
fair-slzed crowd, it was hardly up to
that OF last year. In all save atten.
dance the meet was all that could be
desired. The attendants were from
among the best people of Northum-
berland and adjoining counties, and
the best of order prevailed.
On Wednesday the feature of the
day was the race between horses
owned by Capt. Frank Cooper and
Fred Fairfax. Cooper's "Bedworth'
won in straight heats. But the
racing palm of the fair was carried
off by Eddie Blakemore, Lancaster
youth, who had never been on the
race track before, nor had his horse.
The animal is marvellous two.
year old, and in the races which
he entered he easily cleaned M
several good horses of more mature
age. The crowd went wild a,
Young Blakemore's performance, and
be was carried off the track OH the
shoulders of the men. The colt made
a half-mile record of 1:223.
Exhibits in the ladies' and apri.
cultural departments were fair. The
free exhibition given by the Associa-
ton of wonderfully trained horse
aud educated pony always drew the
crowd around them.
The officers are to be applauded
for the efforts they are making to
build up Northumberland fair.

OFTEN in the commercial world
a drouth in one branch of business
produces q freshet in another line.
This has been true of the coal strike.
While the people of the mining
districts and those persons COM
PEELED to purchase coal at an ex-
orbitant price have been greatly in
jured by the strike, the manufactur-
ers of woodworking stoves and the
people of the rural districts who
have had wood 10 sell have profted
by prevailing conditions. Stove fac
tories have had to put on increased
forces, and the supply has not
been equal to the demand. On
the whole we of the country
have lost nothing because of the
scarcity of coal. Wood has been
at a high price, and will probably
continue so through the winter; work
tor the laborer has been plentiful;
merchants have been turning over
considerable money in their deals on
stoves and wood, and altogether
country sections have profited rather
than lost because of strike condi-
lions. We advance this merely as a
true statement of prevailing coudi-
tons.

FRIENDS and alumni of Virginia's
great University all throughout our
country are deeply interested in the
wrangle going on over the question
of amending the policy of the in
stitution so as to place chief exec
utive officer over her affairs and plan
of organization. Those interested
are deeply interested indeed in this
matter, and so radical and briefly
considered departure from the
time-honored custom, originating in
the ideas of Thomas Jefferson, meets
with storm of disapproval from the
host of her sons and admirers who
think best to make haste slowly. In
our opinion, however, it is rather a
question of expediency than of sem
timent which actuates this protest.
1t for the moment it could be clearly
demonstrated that the change would
place this noble institution on a
basis of an even greater advance
ment and prestige than that already
achieved and sustained among her
sister schools, there would not be a
dissenting voice in the matter. We
are glad the Board of Visitors have
taken more time for deliberation. No
doubt Mr.. Miles, the gentleman
whose name has been recently so
prominently mentioned in connec-
ton with this high office, is a young
man of brilliant attachments of
scholarship, but when the change
does come, if come it must, we cannot
but hope that some one Of more ma
t9red reputation and prestige-like
"oouroW WlIsUu auu HIS Uuu,uxr,,
at the heads of the great universities
OF this country-may be selected.

Now Messrs. Baer & Co., YOU have IN,
soldiers you wanted. Mine coal-Ricb
mond Times.
A very pungent remark from our
contemporary the week before arbi.
tration came over the breeze.
1t would seem 70 be the irony of
fate that the people of this country
should foot the bills for the main.
tenance of soldiers to keep up the
coal strike while paying dearly in
lack OF comfort that it brings. Not
all strikers have justice on their side
but in the present instance it would
seem that the coal barons had tzran.
nized it over their men and tho
people of the whole country. Had
the strike continued for a wear the
operators were big money in pocket.
Getting enormous prices for coal
WHICH they have held in reserve
none OF their mines being depleted
'y the stoppage, and paying practi-
caiiy no tax at all upon their yalua-
ole deposits, we cannot figure it ont
otherwise than that the strike has re.
suited In enormous financial oa;n
TO the mine owners. When mining
Is resumed the demand for coal will |
keep the price up and no one will |
profit by it but the mine owners
Certainly this is the most aggravated
ana disastrous strike ever known in
the history of our country, and if
there ever was incentive to law
iessness on the part of the people
they seemed to have had more of it
than ever before.
