No Court

The nine soldiers Of the seventfeth
Regiment, who had been enga ged by the
Giffen Company in the production Of the
Girl I Left Behind Me- struck for
higher wages yesterday afternoon a few
minutes before the curtain rose for the
matinee performance. Their demand for
81 for each appearance instead Of so
cents was refused, and without further
argument the squad was dismissed. The
uniforms they discarded were in five
minutes afterwards on stage hands and
members of the company, who volunteer
ed to act In this capacity. The whole
trrobule was so well managed that no
hint of the strike was given tho audience
Mr.. Giffen will make no further effort
to secure soldiers, but being we'll pleased
with the recruits mustered in yesterday
afternoon, will continue them through the
weeks performances. The strikers first
told their troubles to Mr.. Duane, the
stage manager, who called in Mr.. Giffen.
Informing him that the whole army had
struck.
Mr.. Giffen said there would be no court
martial, but that his company did not
want any .'red flag men on the boards
He discharged the spokesman Of tho COM

whenever his name was mentioned he
was sure to suggest some otiiersto take

of duty compelled him to obey. In

rule OF conduct. He gave a. great deal

strength was almost exhausted In the

such meeting his friends all knew that
there was good excuse. He never neg
1ected any duty OF this Character which
he took upon himself. As president Of
the official body of his church he was
an inspiration on the one hand and a
conserving force on the ether. He in
spired his brethren with his own devotion
to tho work and with his enthusiasm. yet
restrained them by his amiability and
genuencss. II there was friction in any

was especially interested in the young
and none VIII weep for him more sim
ccre1y than the members of the Sunday
school he served so affectionately, He
was also deeply Interested in the Rich
mond Male Orphan Asylum, of which he
was for sears director. Yet he min
istered with equal zeal to the need and
comfort of old men and old women, and
made life sweeter for them. His religion
was a religion of service. A large part
of his income was given away. but he
gave 10 the needy in addition that which
is better. He gave sympathy and COM
fort.
It were not becoming to speak in de-
tail of his home life, but it was beau
tiful; and it was in the sanctity of his
home that the best part of the mans
nobility of character was seen. Here
as elsewhere and in other departments OF
life he was an example.
This article is not intended as an
obituary. To many men and women in
the community Mr.. Morton was not
known SO modest and retiring was he.
But we nave chosen his character as the
subject of an editorial article on citizen
ship. John Morton was in our estimate of
men model citizen. and his life was
a grand. sweet sermon. Somebody said
yesterday that if Richmond were COM
posed of men like him, It would be a
model city. We believe it.

ENGLAND'S "BREAD TAX"

Great Britain proposes to impose a tax
upon imported grain, and the New York
Tribune says that there can be little doubt.
despite the earnest and sincere disclaimer
OF Sir Michael Hicks-Reach that the pres
ent 'treimposition of the system" will be
regarded as a step toward protection.
The Tribune seems to glory in the Incl
dent as vindication Of American tariff.
That is a strained view. Great Britain
is in financial straits. She has for sew
eral years had a most expensive war on
her hands, and her resources have been
severely strained. She is running behind
In her expenses and she must resort to
some heroic measure to raise more money.
The tax on bread-stuffs. if imposed, will
be forstf1e purpose of raising revenue and
not for the purpose Of protecting" the
planters of England. There is a wide
difference between tariff for revenue and
tariff for protection.
But suppose Great Britain should adopt
the American idea of tariff for protection.
that would argue nothing in favor Of
the system in this country. It would
rather argue a retrogradc movement in
England. Long years ago England adopt
ed a free-trade policy and under that pol
icy became the richest and most power
full nation on earth. She was the great
creditor nation and it was her pleasure
and profit to make trade as free as pos
sible.
But in the course of events conditions
have changed in the world. Another
great nation has sprung up in tho new
world, and we have become rich and
prosperous, despite our tariff. We are
going forward and Great Britain is going
Backward; we are getting to be a creditor
nation and our trade and influence are
extending all over the world. We are
now in position. as England used to be.
to dictate. We are now SO strong
THAT we do not need pro-
tectiye tariff if we ever needed it. It
is now to our interest. as it formerly
was to Great Britains. to make trade as
free as possible. If Great Britain is
going to adopt the protective policy it is
an evidence olzAeAszN e<1hAe9e' % ~ " outu
be an evidence of our strength to aban-
don it.
The protectionists may talk as they
please. but there is manifcstly5 a growing
sentiment and disposition in this country
toward free trade. 1t will not come sud
denly. 1t will take time to adjust our
industries and trade to the new order of
things. But the tendency is none the
less sure. and by degrees the protective
wall will be torn down. It may not come
in this generation, but the time will be
when trade between this country and
other nations will be as FREQ as ever It
was between England and the nations
Of the earth.

The New Suffrage Plan.

The New Suffrage Plan.
The Clarke Courier thus quotes dis
t,nguished lawyer and member Of the co1l-
stitutional Convention:
There is no general property Guall1i-
cation required. Under the new su sun
plan. as it now stands and as 1t will IN al
PROBABILITY appear in the new Constltu75
tom the following people can register
prior to January /, 1904:
1. Soldiers or
2. Sons of soldiers, or
g. Persons paying the State 81 taxes
on property or
4. Persons who can read any clause Of
the Constitution and give a reasonable
explanation e it; or If they cannot read
can give a, reasonable explanation, of IT
when read to them.
I believe every white man IN Clarke
county can register under one OF Inc
other Of these provisions. In fact, there
are few, If any, who can't register under.
the three first clauses, viz: soldier, son
of soldier, or Taxpayers of one dollar.
If there are any they will have the OPP
portunity of registering under clause d.
After January, 1901, all persons not pre-
viously registered, will be required to pay
up all back poll taxes for three years be-
fore they can make application. Then the
applicat ton has to be made in writing.
without aid. Il n other words, after jan
uary, 1904, there will be only g. reasond-
BILE educational qualification
There are. of course, the poll tax pre-
requisite and a few other minor details,
but the above outline will enable every
man to see if he has been disfranchised.
You will notice that all the qualifications
arc in the alternative. II a man was
soldier, that settles it. II he is a son OF q
soldier he gets in. If he is neither a, SOL
der nor a son and pays 81 taxes to the
State on his property he can register II
he is not a soldier, son of a soldier nor
pays one dollar taxes. he still has a right
to register If he can read and give q
