kirdle the fever that lies dormant IN the
breasts of nine-tenths of the people OF

hility Of securing a franchise In the

is row laying plans for the organization
of n tri-citv league. to embrace Rich
mond, Manchester and Petersburg. to run

are good clubs in these cities. and the
rivalry is great, so that good crowds
ray be expected to see each game. Pc
tcrsbursc seems to have awakened to thu
old enthusiasm.

held to-day. and the result viii be
awaited with interest by all baseball
fans.

MAX NC READY,

II agree in what Baron Shibusaway,
the japanese banker, said in regard to
our present prosperity. and his speech
will reappear in my paper. In the first
place, the prosperity spoken of is not
universal, as claimed. The laborinG man
has not received an increase in wages
proportionate to the cost of living. there
fore he is not getting his share of pros
peTity. In so far as the farmers have
prospered it is due to natural conditions
and not to the governmental policies of
the Republican party. A large proper
ton of the commercial enterprises are
built upon fictitious capital. and can only
make dividends on their watered stock
by wholesale extortion from the public.
If they prosper. the people will suffer. If,
on the other hand, the people secure pro-
lection from this eXtortion, the indus
tries will have to pass through a period
of reorganization. The Spectator and
the plunger are making lots of money.
but there is an end. and a disastrous one,
to this sort Of prosperity"
1t is not necessary to say that the
charge is the saying OF Mr. William j.
Bryan. Mr.. Bryan is never so eloquent
as when he is denying prosperity, ex-
cept it be when he is talking about hard
times. Mr. Bryan is evidently making
ready for d calamity campaign in 1904.

TEACHING AS PROFESSION.

Recurring to the question of underpaid
teachers in Virginia, there is this phase
Of It which is not to be overlooked. We

quit the school-room to engage in some
other occupation. Nor can they be
blamed. for no ambitious young man is
willing to teach Indefinitely In the public
schools of Virginia at the very poor com
pensation that the State allows and with
little or no prospect Of advancement. Bt
he never SO intelligent and diligent and
faithful the pay which he receives js

And so we have in our public schools

Of making this their permanent profes

thing better to do and always with the
idea that they will shake the dust OF

In a recent interview In New York,
Mr. Bryan said:
"In regard to the new party movement
only knew what I have seen In the
papers. and that to me seems based
upon the contingency Of the Cleveland
Hill element obtaining control of the

that contingency is likely to happen.
nor do I see that any good is to come
from a discussion of such contingency"
But if the contingency does happen
will Mr.. Bryan bolt and Join the Petit

it? That is the question he should
answer.
