TOBACCO CULTURE UNDER COVER.

Mention has more than once been made
IN these columns OF the new industry in
Connecticut of raising tobacco unher
cover. The tobacco-planters are very
.auch in love with the idea and the Hart
ford Post says that the greatest activity
IS now noted among these planters, in
spite OF the fact tina. two feet of snow
covers the ground. Since the Depart
ment of Agriculture demonstrated the
chance of success in '.shade-growing
many persons have planned to try the
experiment.
Paul Ackerls. who. according to the
Post. is one of the best-inforr.ed meE on
this subject in America, IL speaking the
other day on the subject said:
80 far as am now informed, there

(By Associated Press

NEW YORK, Teb. 27.-An incident that
happened at the launching Of the Meteor
is told at the expose of Wallace DoWney,
one of the yachts builders.
When all was about fixed for the sis
nal to release the blocks that held the
Kaiser's yacht fast Prince Henry turned
to Mr.. Downey and asked:

The Prince turned to speak to some one
near him.
Just then Mr.. DoWpey got sign
from the shop foreman to give the sig

guest The Princes back was turned

notice this, and stepping back to where
the Prince stood, he almost unc onsc:ous-

This was too good a joke for the
Prince and after the yacht slid off the
ways he and the yachtbuilder had a good
laugh over it.

DEh0LRA.Y'S tUlUaE.

In reply to our Virginia contemporaries.
we said the other day that Mr.. William
j. Bryan was one Of the Iivcliest aSita-
tors in this country and that he would
do the Democratic party a great deal OF
harm yet. Some time ago The Manhattan
Club OF New York invited u number Of
leading Democrats throughout the coun-
try to take dinner with the club and talk
over the political situation and see II
something could not DO done to ha--
monte the Democrats. Mr.. David Ben
nett Hill made a speech, in which ne
proclaimed, in the main, the principles
of the party. He sugSestei q Platform
under which Democrats might reassemoie
oud -o-unite. Mr.. Bryan makes
sighting alhlsicn to Mr. HIPS speech
and says that, while it is 100 carry 10
formulate Z platform: and 20 predict WEat
issues will be employed. it IS quite proba-
bic that the Democratic national plat
form il 1904 will DC written by those who
believe in Democratic principles and
whose loyalty to the party is not under
suspicion,' which means, i'll Mr.. Bryans
opinion that it will be written by men
who Believe n Organism In confirma-
ton of that, lie says that The Kansas CITY
platform will be rc-affir:ned, and in con-
clusion he takes occasion 10 slap at those
Democrats VINO refused to support him
It is needless to deny that Mr.. Bryan
ss;u has a considerable following. Even
chose who are tired of Kim Go not know
lust what 10 do with him. There are
extreme mon. some OF them claiming
10 be Democrats and others avowedly
Populists, who still accept Mr.. Bryan as
their political prophet and guide. They
will be in evidence in the next national
convention, and they Will not harmonize
unless they can have things their way
We confess that the outlook just now
IS not very promising for Democracy.
If the party could only be reunited I'M
der some such platform as Mr.. Hill has
outlined it would have q splendid chance
FOR victory in 1904. But there was a rev.
olution in the Democratic party in 1896
and the old saying is true that revolu-
lions do not go backward. The dit
Eerences between old-line Democrats and
Democrats of the Bryan order are so
great that it will be hard 10 bring them
together upon common and satisfactory
platform.
Since the above was written we have
seen an article from the Mobile Register
much TO the same effect. The Register
says:
The Bryan banner bears the motto mo
Surrender and MIR. Bryan frankly ad-
mits that he vail prefer a continuous per
Torrance of defeat to a victory achieved
l.y corporation with the aisloyal eie-
ment of the party.
Time may work a revolution in the
rank and file OF his followers, but Mr..
Bryan declares u am here, and here |
remain, and there will be no moving
OF him. The reorSanzers will have TO
accept one or other proposition: Let
MIR. Bryan have his way and another de-
feat, or proceed without reference 10 Mr..
Bryan. The last policy would seem to
lie the only reasonable one.

Crane Talks OF His Past.

William IF. Crane was in town over
Sunday, and he told be a idle tale OF his

twenty years. he said, and was
member of the Holman Opera Company,

naradins the streets with banners and
lights. FINALLY Holman, proprietor of the
organization, who had also won medals
for the skill with which he played the
snare drum, hit upon a happy scheme He
marched US through the principal streets,
beating his drum with all tho yigor and
fincsse he could command. It was not
before a crowd was following us, hypno-
tized to a certain extent by Hoiman's ac-
complishments and wondering what
would happen next. He insenuously lea

let us m 1T RIGHT.

We heartily agree with our esteemed
contemporary, the charlottesville Prcs-
r.es that the sum of $4,000. which it is
proposed to appropriate, is insufficient to
make such an exhibit at the st. LOUIS
Exposition as Virginia should nave.
The Progress thinks that it were netter

show. We think so. too. Virginia ought
10 have ?. representative exhibit at this
Exposition, and it ought to be sufficiently
attractive to draw the attention OF Vlsl-
tors to the resources ana natural ao-
yartaSes of this State.
OF course. a very good exhibit can be
made for $4,000, but it will not be such
an exhibit. in our opinion, as Virginia
ought to have. The Legislature should
not be niegardly about this matter. If
the members do not believe it will do any
good to send an exhibit to st. Louis, then
they ought not to vote one dollar for
that purpose. If they do believe IN an
exhibit, by all means let them make one
that will be a credit to the State-one
that Virginia visitors will be proud to
point out-one that Will in itself attract
attention and be a true advertisement
of the States resources. In order to 90
this a good round sum of money Will be
necessary, and it should be appropriated,
or the whole matter should be abandoned.

AFTERMATH /

The London Times, says Professor
Goodwin Smith In the March Atlantic,
after a little wavering carried its vast
power to the side Of the South, whose
cause it embraced with an Intensity, not
to say with a fury, surprising in COM
pariSon with the SurefGoted discretion
usually characteristic of its management.
To the last it persisted with undated
confidence in assuring its readers of
Southern victory. When from Grants
lines before Petersburg, Richmod was al
most in sight, and it was evident that
the next move on the board would be
checl1mate, the Times continued to give
ear to the asseveration of Mr.. Spence
that the triumph of the South was at
hand. The Times really represented only
the weather. and more aristocratic
class in England. In America it was
taken as representing the whole nation.
