oates tefore the primary were his friends
We have received communication from
an esteemed Richmond correspondent, in
which he says that our reply to the News
is well and aptly put, and expresses the
sentiments OF thousands of people in this
and other Congressional districts. IT, for
one" he adds, twill never go near the
polls in a primary election and vote viva
voco for one candidate against another
good party man
AS for the Richmond district. he says
that he is equally friendly with each Of
the avowed candidates for the congress
ional nomination, and he will not be put
In the position OF publicly making
choice between them.
The Roanoke Evening World reproduces
our remarks and adds this comment:
We agree with Tho Times upon this
point as general proposition. The can
didates in primary belong to the same
political family, and their respective
claims are submitted to party brethren.
Very naturally such conditions might cas-
lily tend to the embarrassment of the yot-
ers; and. in fact keep hundreds Of them
from the polls. But it should be borne
in mind that a fat from the party's high
est forum has been issued upon the sub
feet, and even though it may not espe-
cially commend itself to some Demo-
Gratis, the rule should be obeycd by the
organization. If 1t works hardship, or
prove unwise. the proper remedy is to
seek its repeal.
The Times believes In standing up for
the law. whether 1t be the law of the
land or party law; or, to put the propo-
sition in the slang of the street, 1t is our
doctrine that when any number OF men
engage In a game they should abide by
the rules. But It is an old saying that
the best way to get rid of bad law is
to enforce it. The State Committee had
the right to adopt this plan Of voting.
and we agree with the Lynchburg News
and the Roanoke Evening World that 1t
is the business OF Democrats throughout
the State to observe the rule, SO long as
it is in force. II Democrats do not like
the rule they should make their COM
plant to the State Committee and request
that it be changed

THE RIGHT OF STOCKHOLDERS.

An Interesting question involving the
rights of stockholders has been raised In
the answer of the Northern Securities
Company in the second bill filed by the
State of Minnesota against that corpo-
ration. 1t is claimed in this answer that
the Minnesota bill is untenable because of
its failure to include all who are lightful
defendants. Every purchase involves a
sale In purchasing the shares of the
Earthcrn Pacific Railroad Company the
Northern Securities Company purchased
from persons VINO had perfect
right to dispose of their holdings.
There are many OF these, remarks the
New York Sun, who had no connection
with the transaction. save to sell their
shares to this regularly organized securi-
flies holding company. obviously con-
cludes the Sun, ''in their exclusion from
the suit there can be no adjudication an
nulIing such sales to the securities COM
pany. A decree to such effect, as prayed
for by the petition. would necessarily de-
prive the original sellers Of their property
without due process Of law"
The courts have the power to dissolve
n, Illegal corporation. but from lay
mans point of view we cannot under
stand what right a court has, when a
man has disposed Of his property In good
faith and received his pay therefor. to
compel him to undo the transaction. to
return the money which lie has received
for the property which he has sold and
receive the property again.

CURRENT TOPICS.
The Southern Education Board.

The Southern Education Board.
There seems TO be n disposition among
some to discredit the efforts being made
by the association known as the Southern
Education Board to help the cause of
education in the South. The opposition
to this springs from the fact that the
money furnished for this purpose is con-
tributed by Northern people.
There Is no one more opposed to the
acceptance Of aims than the Courier.
especially when these aims come from
an enemy, either as an individual or as
a community. Did we regard this as
sistance from the gentlemen who are
behind this movement and those who
contribute to it as aims giving, we, too.
would be opposed to it. But we fail to
see it in that light. Certainly there is
no more of aims taking in this than in
the general system of public schools.
Tho methods and intentions Of this
board have been thoroughly discussed
in the public press. and their only de-
sire seems TO render assistance where it
will do the most good, in the commu-
mites where it is most needed. And do
not the Southern States stand more in
need of better education than any other
section of the Union? The census sta
tistics on illiteracy certainly show this.
The work to be done by this board in
the South is placed entirely in the hands
Of Southern men. the best they could
get. Is it supposed that these men could
be induced to engage IN anything which
would tend to lower the pride Of their
fellow countrymen ?-Blac kstone Courier.
