Meat Eating Cause of rheumatism.

There seems to be growing conviction
among many people that we eat too much
meat, prominent woman said recently
apropos of the SUBJECTED have not eaten
any beef for nearly year, and I feel like
a new woman. Lnsed to have rheuma-
tism, but now it is all gone"
To an enthusiastic gathering of vege-
tarians at the special meeting of the Veg.
etarisn Society of New York. held in Car
negie Hall, a short time ago, Nine. Lilli
lehman, the distinguished prima donna,
relate how she first became vegetarian
and how in her opinion the cause of
vegetarianism could be aided.
at is most gratifying to n1e to come in
contact with men and women who, like
myself, are devoted to ideals. We must
regard ourselves as vanguard of coming
generations, and if we would be champions
we must live in recognition of Natures
laws. regard it as a duty to acquaint
myself with all moral and aesthetic aims.
l am solennly bound to support those
who devote their lives to high and ideal
purpose. 1t seems to me that all ethical
striving must eliminate in the great ethical
aim Of being natural.

Our Election Laws.
Richmond Times.

| Richmond Times.
In the report by House Election Com
mttee No. 3, ina the case of the late Jas
A. Walker VS. William F. Rhea, from the
Ninth Virginia District. there is a severe
criticism of the Virginia election laws.
The committee reports in favor of Rhea,
but our election laws are criticised as ere.
pugnant to all lovers offair play and honest
elections" The report concludes with an
appeal to the Constitutional Convention of
Virginia and to the General Assembly to
take steps which will insure the fair and
free vote end an honest election.
1t was with this end in view that the
Constitutional Convention was called.
There is an honest and earnest desire on
the part of the great body of white voters
in Virginia for radical reform in our cleo
ton methods. Until the blight ofnegro suf-
frage came upon us elections in Virginia
were strickly honest, and such thing as
ballot-box stufflng and fraudulent counts
was unknown. But self. preservation
forced the people of Virginia, in those Sec
tons where there is large number of
negro voters, to resort to those objection
able measures to which the House Com
mittee refers, and it was finally determin-
ed that the only way to get rid of them
was to rid ourselves of the cause. Hence
the call for the Constitutional Convention
to devise come means CT eliminating the |
negro vote from our politics, and with that |
out of the way, there is every reason to
believe that the evil will disappear.
Heaven grant that this may be the case.
1t is humiliating to honest men of Virginia
that such criticism as the above should |
have been passed upon elections methods !
in this noble Commonwealth by members
Of Congress. Time and again in congress
ional contests have our election laws been
exposed and denounced; invariably they
have been cited as prima facie evidence +
against the Democratic contestant, or con-
testee, as the case might be. Even though
The Democrats were fairly elected, it was
that the Virginia laws we're
designed to cheat in favor of the Democrat
lnd was used against him. fs

The Age of Retirement.
New York Evening Post.

Every little while discussion arises as
TO the time of life when a man ought to
retire from active participation in affairs
The public is asked tc consider whether
there is not a certain limit of years when
a man no longer ought to give away his
money, when farmer ought to hand over
his feds and granaries to his sons and
daughters, when an editor ought to stop
writing anything but "reminiscences which
he is pretty sure nobody will read. Out
in Minnesota the other day logging party
returning from lis Winter camp, was found
to consist of one contractor, aged seventy.
eight; another contractor, aged sixiy.6ve;
one helper, aged seventy-nine; one horse,
aged twenty-three, and another horse
aged twenty-one. They built their own
camp, cut Their own roads, and piled up on
the frozen lake 100000 feet of pine timber.
Further than these bare details the
chronicle is silent, but there is enough to
show that in the logging camps of Min
nesoia the question Of the age of retire
ment is still under debate, or has been
indefinitely postponed.

The question has been asked, SIN what
way are Chamberlains Stomach & Liver
Tablets superior to pis?" Our answer is:
They are easier and more pleasant to take,
more mild and gentle in effect and more
reliable as they can always be depended
upon. Then they cleanse and invigorate
the stomach and leave the bowels in
natural condition, while pills are more
harsh in effect and their use is often
followed by constipation. For sale by Jno.

Some Nuts to Crack

Editor of The Times.
Sir:--'rle total number ,f-white voters
in Scott county is 1876 The total nun,
Der of negro voters is l4l or less than 8
per cent. No attempt is made-to deny
that fraud and perjury have been practiced
in Scott 10y the Electoral Board and by
the Judges of election to such an extent as
to give this country an evil notorlety
throughout the State. Many months ago,
The Times printed overwhelming proof
that this is true. Now we have the press
reports that Judge Richmond brought the
matter before the conference ofthe Demo-
cratic members of the State Convention
and gave full and explicit statement of
the methods practiced in Scott. He also
stated that the Electoral Board in Scott
county, whicii is responsible for the dis
honor and fraudulent administration OF
the law whel eby the white voters of Scott
are deprived of the right of suffrage, have
been reelected to Office by the Democratic
legislature, with full knowledge of the
facts. Now there is no question of negro
domination in Scott county. There is no
pretext that fraud and perjury in this
country are practiced for the purpose Of
overcoming the negro vote. There is no
denial that the voters defrauded are white
men. This dlsposes effectually of any
claim that white men will not be de-
frauded under law framed for the pur-
pose Of promoting and protecting fraud
and perjury. Now, if this action of the
Legislature is not formal endorsation and
commentator Of the disfranchisement of
white men, what is ii? If it may not be
accepted as indisputabIe evidence of the
purpose of the Democratic party to deny
the white men Of this State the right Of
self-government. what does it mean?.
If the State Convention, knowing the
facts in this matter, refuses to take any
action to secure honest elections hereafter,
can its refusal be taken otherwise than as
evidence Gifts purpose to encourage and
promote fraud and to make government
of the people farce in Virginia? Here
it seems to me- is a fair and reasonable
way to determine whether this view Of
the question is correct. Let Major Daniel
or Colonel Goode, ar any other politically
sane member of the convention pledge
himself to endorse action of like character
10y any other Prohibition party, the Social.
ist-Labor party, the Populst party or the
Republican party. Suppose the Prohibi-
lion party shall come into power in Nir
ginia. Then let us fancy that the Elector-
al Boards and the judges of election in
Scott county and in ali the counties and
cities of the State shall follow in the foot
steps of the Democratic party in the per
petration of fraud and perjury. Let us
fancy that Prohibition Legislature shall
endorse this course on the part of elective
officers. Will the Democratic members of
the State Convention pledge themselves
to approve and endorse this action OF the
part of the Prohibitionists? Let us hear
from them. Do they claim for themselves
and the Democratic party exemption from
all law human and divine, moral and insti.
tutional?

We do not object TO the proclamation
of the new Consultation because We think
it would be defeated if submitted to the
present electOi ate, but because we dislike
to see oul political foes act with such
.perfdy, and believe the Convention will
be usurplng an authority that does not
belong to it, if it does proclaim. OF course
the Constitution can be ratified with the
Walton law, just as the question of call
ing a Convention was carried.

THE Richmond News is the only pro.
miment Democratic paper in Virginia that
has the courage to oppose the prOclama-
ton of the new Constitution. 1t says that
the advocates have but two arguments
against submission. zone is that the
office holders and the corporations will
defeat it; the other, that the majority of
people are willing to have it proclaim
ed" The News shows that the first rea-
sun is senseless, if the secOId reason be
true. Tie News says" If the people of
Virginia, after thoroughs discussion and
reaching clear understanding of the new
Constitution, are opposed to accepting it,
they should have an opportunity to ex-
press their opposition in the constitutional
manner at the ballot box" This is n
great truth expressed in few words; brt
the Convention when it claimed sovereign
ty in itself, superior to the people, showed
its purpose of usurping authority that be-
longed to the people.

in February. l.. G. Niblack, editor of

scheme, has been several weeks in
perfecting details. It is planned to run
a train of Pullman cars. carrying 300
citizens of Oklahoma. from Oklahoma

to cover ten days. The train will be
decorated with banners and the re-
personalities of the different towns
ami counties will distribute adver-

enjoy the benefits of statehood.
1t is believed that the presence of
this number of energetic men in Wash.
ington will attract more attention than
all the petitions and memorials that
could be presented to congress. There
will be a carefully selected committee
to seek the acquaintance of metropoli-
