DAY in TIE POLICE COURT.
Negroes Accused OF lobbing Maa as He
Slept.

Light-frgered exponents Of the art OF
thieving and some fighters gave Justice
Crutchfield his Quota of daily amusement
in the Police Court yesterday morning.
hansen Harkaday and Louis Fife were
up on the charge OF having robbed d. v.
Williams. another negro. Of q $40 bill and
a new pocketbool1. The evidence tended
to show that Harlladay had stolen the
pocketbooll and money while Martin was
asleep in Charlie Whites saloon, and that
Fife was an accomplice 10th before and
after the fact. Both were placed under
heavy security for twelve months and the
case was sent on to the Hastings Court.
William Fields, so it is alleged. hit
Virgil Cole in tho head with a brick and
knocked q hole about as big as a dollar
in his skull. This case was allowed to so
over until next Tuesday and will then,
probably, go to the Hastings Court. Do-
ra johnson, accused Of harboring Fields
after this alleged crime, was remanded
until Tuesday at the same time.
Robert Goode stabbed Maggie Woodson
in the shoulder and was sent to the Hust-
ings Court.
jeff Smith was fined $ for hitting Bev-
erly Elicit, and Kate Turner IS for abus-
ing Kate Fountain.
Sam Bell was accused of striking Sallie
Allen, but was dismissed.

THE .paoPERTY.HoLDiNa Glass;

We arc disposed to attach all due I'm
portancc to what is known as tho prop
er.y-holding class" The fact that a man
has a possession is, generally speaking.
pri.na facie evidence of the further fact
that he is thrifty and that he is interested
in good government. Such man Is
moro to be trusted with tie ballot than
The shifaess, thriftless tramp. who prowls
around from one place to another with
out aim or object in life, who accumuiates
nothing, who wants nothing except 1000
end rai,nent, at the expense Of somebody
else.
But 1t viii not 60 to say that all men
who are not possessed of a certain amount
OF property are thriftless and shiitiess'
md therefore not to be trusted with the
ballot: nor can it be said that ali such
men are not Taxpayers and therefore not
interested in the subject Of taxation
There are thousands and thousands or
men in Virginia who arc not to be III
Guided in what we usually term the prop
erty-holding class yet they arc in
scnse propcrty-lloiders. They are tax
payers. too, and they. are interested in
Scol government, in low taxes and an
economical administration of public af-
fairs These men are hard at work every
day, and although they DO not own
house and although they have not an
accumulation OF stocks and bonds, yet
they rent a house and therefore pay the
taxes on that house. and they buy supplies
md therefore pay their part OF the license
taxes which the government imposes
,Ipon traders. And many of them are
more useful than some large property
holders. who do nothing upon the face OF
Tho earth but collect their rents and clip
their coupons.
We insist that these men, wherever
they be found, are entitled to every con-
eideration Of law, are entitled to parti-
cipate in the a-iairs of government, and
st were shameful to class them with pau
pers and worthless ramps.

There will be a called meeting OF the
Common Council on Monday evening to

SEM. ENIAlIrY.

When the verdict was rendered In the
Corporation Court of Newport News last
Thursday, acouitting C. Aylette Ashby Of
the charge Of murder. there was the usual
demonstration. First, in spite of tho
warning of the court. there was applause
as the verdict was announced. After
that, according to the report, the inn
mense crowd pressed forward, impelled
by a single impulse. 1t was half an hour
before the acquitted man could leave the
house. This means that 1.-The immense
crowd. pressed forward and showered
congratulations upon ..the acquitted man
and iioinized him and made a hero Of him.
We say that such a demonstration was
unsecmly ard entirely out Of place. This
was a most distressing case. The man
who was shot was a man of high char
acter and lost his life through a momen-
tary indiscretion The man who slew
him is also a. man Of high character. and
it is doubtless the sorrow of his life that
he felt constrained to take the life Of q
feiIow-creature with whom his relations
had formerly been friendly. The jury
believed that he was justifiable, and it
promptly acquitted him; but there was
no occasion for a demonstration. We
feel cure that it would have been more
in accordance with the wishes of Mr..
Ashby if he had been permitted to retire
quietly to his home without any open ex-
hibiticn Of feeling on the part Of the
crowd.
We ar. too much given 20 that sort OF
gush in Virginia. In nine cascs cut Of
ten, no matter what the circumstances
be- when a man of popularity is acquitted
Of the charge of murder there is sure TO
be a great Demonstration in the court
room. and tic enthusiastic crowd is
surc to make ii appear that the man has
done son,e great deed which calls for pop
ular approval Such demonstrations are
both ullseelnly and unwise, for they put
false notions into the heads OF the young.
Every foolish boy who witnesses such
..popular uprising" gets The impression
that man who kills another man and
g tried ard acquitted is q great hero and
that his example is worthy to be I'M
tate. Sentiment is a good thing, and IS
to be encouraged. But sentimentality IS
sure to make a sorry exhibition of itself
on all occasions.

TIE NAN MHa SELLS IS VOTE.

Whatever may be said upon the general
qualifications of voters, whatever diver
sity of opinion there may be as TO who
should be allowed to vote, there can be
no two opinions on this point, that the
MAJ, who barters his vote should be for
ever thereafter disfranChised. There is
no more despicable wretch in the world
no man or woman lower or more con-
.er,ptible than the man who trades upon
the right of franchise. Such a man
should not only be excluded from the
ballot, but he should BE kicked out OF
society and become subject Of public
contempt.
1t is openly charged in some sections OF
Virginia that votes are regularly traded
!n as a commodity, some of them selling
as low as twenty-five cents apiece Nor
IS this sort of thing by any means con-
fined to negro voters. There are, we
have coed reason to believe. many White
voters in various sections of Virginia who
regularly sell their votes at election
times to the highest bidder. This is a
most hu1niliating statement to make IN a
Virginia newspaper, but 1t is Idle TO smut
our eyes to a painful truth
The members of the Constitutional Con-
vention should make some Investigations,
Sc they are not already acquainted with
the facts. with regard to this outrageous
abuse and whatever other clause may be
containca in the suffrage plan by all
means let it lce provided that the man
who sells his vote or who offers his vote
Tor sale and the man who purchases or
offers 10 purchase the vote of another
shall forever be disfranchised and That his
political disability shall never be removed.

WALLACE VS.. LAMB.

There is every indication Of a warm
fight tor Congress in this district this fall.
The only candidates so far in the field
are Congressman John Lamb and Mr.. eff
ferson Wallace. They are both we'll
known throughout the district and have
warm supporters in all the counties and
cities. The recent adoption OF pri-
mary plan for the nomination Of a can
didate for Congress will bring the two
leaders face to face on the stump, and
they are both .old hands at the bel-
lows, so far as public speaking is cons
cerned. Mr.. Wallace has expressed his
delight at the adoption of the primary
method of making the nomination. and
it is understood ftl,at it is equally satis-
factory to Captain Lamb While there
Is already muceIfa uiatStalk about the mat
