EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS

We hear of many Democrats conf.
IDENTIFY predicting that Virginia will be a
Republican State in less than five yeais.
The Republicans of Nebraska are very
hopeful of sending a solid delegation to
the next National House of Repre-
sentatiges. The present delegation con-
ssts of two Republicans and four
Fusionists. The Fusionists were all elected
by small pluralities in 1900. There is
strong probability that there will be a
gain for the Republicans of four Con-
gressmen from Nebraska.
The Richmond Times says: "All the
political parties, except Colonel Bryan,
are beating about the bushes for par
amount issue." Our contemporary is mis-
taken. The Republican party is not beat.
ing the bushes for an issue" 1t has a
splendid one to present to the people. 1t
is Republican prosperity versus Dem.
ocratic adversely" And the Republican
party is sure to win on this issue. The
people have not grown tired of prosperity.
The Staunton Spectator says at is the
spaniel which licks the hand that smites
it. The miners much resemble that
animal. The more the Republican party
kicks them around the more they lick its
hand" This is not very complimentary
to great army Of American workingmen.
The miners are intelligent enough to know
that the Democrats pat them on the
shoulder with one hand, but take from
them with the other the work that will
give them bread for themselves and their
families.

A New Tulip Bed.

Mr. Charles NJ. Schwab has made"
SIS, ,5OO,O 600. He bought the Bethlehem
Steel Works for 81 500, 900, 60 it is report
ed. He has "sod" it to the Shipbuild'

or, as the report runs, for $lO,OOO,OOO of
trust deed certificates, $S,OOO,OOO Of pre-
ferred and IS, 100000 of common.
This is the way people once "made'
money in the tulip mania in Holland.
Every one concerned "made" a lot OF
money until some foolish man tried to
realize. Even Mr.. Schwab cannot eat the
shares and bonds of the Shipbulldlng
Trust. They will not do for wallpaper.
The trust can make no more money than
the business of its separate plants can
make united, and there is not one Of them
10 the knowledge of all men, but has bad,
aud not long ago, the dryest Of dry years.
SIhis money can be made" only by
selling these securities to the public. Will
the public buy? 1t has seen Asphelt smash
and vt has watched Rubber go down and
it seen even the great Steel Trust hanging
at priSees which are ridiculous if people
really believed that full years in iron and
steel can last.

To Test the Suffrage Clause.

pGhmond, Va, August l2.-The ne
of Virginia are making every
baration to fight the suffrage clause o.
~ new constitution. They have already
s.;o led S., 900 for the purpose Of paying
-, ,Insel to make up case and carry it ;o
United States Supreme Court, and
A. by expect on Monday to have all the
6ney needed for these expenses. On
lat day the Virginia Educational Associa-
.;bn will meet here and be addressed by
fading men of that race. There are GOO
lelegates to that body, representing every
lection of the State.
Letters have 5een received here from
Hon. John S. Wise and ex Senator Thurs
Aon, of Nebraska, who have been, with
others, retained as counsel. These letters
are to be read before tie association when
the appeals are made for contributions for
money to fight the constitution. 1t is un
derstood that Mr.. Wise's letter is partlcu'
larly strong in urging reasons why the suf-
frage provision of VirginiA's new organic
law should be defeated.
Booker T. Washington will be here on
the 23rd and address a meeting of edu-
Gators, Governor Montague will make an
address on the same occasion. Both will
speak plainly on the negro question, it is
expected.

Letter TO n. P. Britain.

Dear Sir: Devoe lead and zinc not only
goes further than Mixed Paints-except
lead and oil, the only paint that covers as
well-but is full measure.
Few paints, that are cold by the can'
are full-measure; generally they are about
ten per cent short. The same is true OF
almost everything-factory weights and
measures are almost always short.
Lead and oil is an honest paint; the
only object to it is chalking of in three
years.
Devoe lead and zinc neither chalks nor
peels, but lasts twice us long as lead anu
oil.
Yours truly,

some time.
Official arrangements had been made
to permit the generals to witness the naval

London, Aug. 16.-The Boer generals
reached London in the course Of the after
noon, and were loudly cheered in the
streets. Asked why they had declined the
governments invitation to witness the
naval review, the visitors remarked that
they were "too tired after the long war
and needed rest"
1t is still uncertain whether or not they
will return to Cowes and see the king.
The scene at the railroad station on the
arrival of the Beers was remarkable. An
enormous crowd of people gave them a
welcome as hearty as given to Lord Rob
erts and Lord Kitchener when they ar
rived here from South Africa. Shouts OF
"good old Dewet," "our friends, the
enemy" and "brave soldiers ALL" were
frequently heard amid cheers. General
Dewet was fairly cornered by mob and
had to be rescued by the police who by
sheer force cleared a line Of retreat
for them.
