A CAMPAIGN oE RIGHT.

The present week witnesses the SER
ious opening of the campaign for the
success of Democratic principles in
this state. At no time has a political
campaign ever opened for the Demo-
cratic party under more favorable aus
pices than the present In state and
nation alike the people have given the
amplest indication of their dissatisfac-
ton with those in control of public
affairs and with their opinions and
methods.
In municipal affairs in this and the
adjacent city and county and else
where, corruption has been a Republic
an characteristic. In the management
of our state affairs demagogiSm and
extravaganza have ruled during the
past two years. Our state government
is huge political machine. Our state
treasury is an open contributor to the
successful operation of that machine.
Samuel r. Van SAINT stands for all that
Is most dangerous and most dishonest
in public life. His career in office
on airing his own vanity and advance
Ing his own political interests at the
expense of the good name and the best
interests of the people whose chief
executive officer he is. And Van SAINT
has given color and direction to every
department and every bureau and ev-
cry office and every politician in the
entire state official system.
1t will be strange indeed if, with the
record of corruption, inefficiency and
demagogism which has distinguished
Republican administration in state
and municipal affairs for so long, the
voters of Minnesota do not make an
ending on election day Of the entire
undesirable aggregation.
Not in Minnesota alone, but every
where throughout the country the peo-
pie have given color and expression
to their condemnation of the existing
Republican administration of national
affairs. Imperialism and trustism
have been the two great products OF
Republican national control. The
depth of significance which both insti-
tutions possess to plain Americans in
tent on the maintenance of Democratic
institutions has shown itself through
a variety Of channels during the past
two years. Out trade with other ma
tons is shackled in the interest OF
dangerous and unprincipled aggrega-
tons Of capital. The consumer is
robbed at every turn by this organized
gang Of industrial marauders. The cry
of prosperity is maintained, but the
popular prosperity which we see is

OUR STREET SERVICE.

There is no longer any disposition in
any direction to question the truth
that the main departments of our mu-
nicipal system are being seriously Grip
pied in their efficiency through the lin
itation placed on the extent of their
available appropriations under the ex-
listing charter provisions. Nor can it
be overlooked that the present condi-
ton of public sentiment on the subject
involves an urgent demand that the
charter commission shall provide for
the submission to the people of the
amendments necessary to enable the
requirements of the city service to be
adequately met.
The commissioner Of public works
outlined in these columns yesterday
fully and convincingly the most insist
ent of the demands made by his de-
partment for increased allowances
made necessary by the rapid advance
ment of the city and by the total made
quacy of the reduced appropriations
| under which the department has been
are materially changed from those
| which prevailed eight, nine or ten years
ago. The enforced economies Of the
past were needful under the circum-
stances which necessitated them. If
the reputation which the city possesses
for cleanliness and efficiency and COM
pleteness in all public utilities which
bear upon its sanitary welfare are not
to be wholly sacrificed some more in
telligent and sufficient provision must
be made than now prevails.
The prevailing cost Of material and
labor represents serious advance on
| that of past years; the growth Of the
city, it's increased population, and Ger
tain changes in our municipal service
such as the existing provision for the
sprinkling Of the streets, result in the
serious Gripping Of the work of this
department to an extent that may be
followed by the most undesirable re-
suits.
While the charter commission is en-
gagged in considering the amendments
necessary for more extended ana eff
| ficient park system and for tie Better
ment Of our fire service, that body
must of necessity take account Of the
situation which confronts those re-
sponsible for the efficient management
of our street and sewer systems, for
the effective removal and disposition of
the city garbage and for the efficiency
Of the city's engineering service. The
needs of the municipal service in these
regards have been fully stated by Mr.
Rundlett; the charter commission can
not close it's eyes to the disadvantages
maintaining the effort to perform the
needed work with totally inadequate
| resources. It is indeed but poor econ
omy which will force any department
of the city service to defer the meeting
Of its responsibilities, or which will
deprive 1t of the funds which are it's
due. Until the commission realizes
the needs Of our street service by pro-
viding for the necessary amendment OF
the charter, it is folly to expect that
the city will be able to maintain its
place in the ranks of advancing mu-
inequalities, or hope to impress itself
on those who may undertake to seri-
ously examine its facilities and advan-
tages as desirable place Of residence

Collins, at one time a highly success

.STARKE PUT IN JAIL
Spent Two Hours in Serving
Sentence of Court-Mar-
tial--Outrage, He Says.

The Governor having refused to inter
martial, Lieutenant John Starke was ar
rested and taken to the city Jail last
night.
The arrest occurred in the Office of the
Dispatch. where Mr.. Starke was sitting,
waiting to see one of the editors. Short
ly before o'clock Deputy Sergeant Tay-
lor accompanied by a constable, came
into the room. After speaking to those
present, Mr.. Taylor stepped to where
Lieutenant Starke was sitting and read to
him the warrant. Mr.. Starke accompa-
MED the Sergeant to the Jail without word
or resistance. The sentence was two
hours confinement. Mr.. Starke spent the
time in the Office of the jail sitting in a
chair. During the time. the prisoner said
very little and seemed ueeply grieved
and depressed.
The Governor refused to interfere with
the finding of the court-martial yesterday
and the warrant was put into the hands
of the officers shortly after o'clock last
night. It bore the signature of Governor
Montague and was countersigned by Cap
tain Thomas Spencer, the adjutant of the
court.
Mr. Starke has been in the service
twelve years and he remarked last night
that he was the only olicer OF his COM
pany who reported for duty when the
militia was called to the penitentiary
some time ago. He served through the
Spanish-Amercan war and was active on
behalf of Cuba before war was declared.
He said last night that. he thought the
finding Of the court a disgrac ceful outrage.
The Governor was seen last night and
from the conversation 1t is believed that
had he had the power he would have
modified the sentence, but the law says
that the finding shall be submitted to
the Governor for approval or disapproval.
He did not wish to disa pprove the en-
tire sentence and he was therefore power
less to act.
There has been a great deal Of talk as
to why Mr.. Starke. being a military prf-
soner could be confined in a civil prison.
The Legislature passed a law declaring
that all military prisoners could be so
confined. He was, therefore confined in
the city jail.
He left the Jail at five minutes past II
clock. He shook hands with the jailer
and thanked him for his kindness. He
then took car and went directly to his
home.
Mr.. Starke has been member of the
Virginia volunteers for twelve years. He
has always been d most enthusiastic SOL
der and it is pretty safe to say that
every man who has been in the Virginia
volunteers in the past decade knows. or
knows of, John Starke, a good soldier,
and good fellow. But he is a soldier no
smore-fOr good.

PlGG'S FIREWATER WENT
UP IN SMOKE AT DRY FORK
Big DistiIIery Destroyed by Flame,
in Pittsylvnnia-Loss Will Reach
Nearly Ten Thousand.

CHATHAM, VA. October 6.-(SpeciaL)
The whiskey distilling plant of j. H.
Pigg. at Dry Fork, was totally destroyed
by fire about 4 o'clock lnis afternoon,
entailing a loss roughly estimated at
from eight to ten thousand dollars. with
no insurance. The plant consisted of an
old distillery, which had been in operation
for several years, and a newly equipped
distillery, with ca pacity of twenty bush
els per day, which would run about 100
gallons of whiskey, and would have been
put in operation Tuesday morning. This
alone cost about s2,5OO. Three carloads of
corn and one carload of rye, which had
been stored in the building, We're burned
as was also large quantity Of beer.
This distillery is by far the largest in
the county The fire originated in the
boiler-room Of the old plant, and was dis
covered when it was but a small blaze
In less than five minutes the fire had
gained such headway that all efforts to
check the flames proved futile. Nothing
definite could be learned, but it is believ-
ed that the plant will be rebuilt. No whis-
key has been reported burned.

$1,000 FOR LICENSE.
Councilman Crenshaw's Or
dinance to Regulate
Whiskey Traffic.

The expected has happened. and fight
Is now on which has for its object tho
raising Of the liquor license In the city
to 81, 900 An ordinance of this nature was
presented last night at the meeting or
the Common Council by Mr.. w. A. Cren-
shaw, of Clay Ward.
AT the present time the amount charged
each dealer is regulated by the Counch
Committee on Finance, according to the
opinion Of that Committee as to the vol
ume of business done by the applicant.
The adoption of the proposed ordinance
would probably result in the closing OF
almost so per cent. of the saloons in the
city. It would certainly have the effect
of closing the places that give the police
so much trouble.
Text of Ordinance.
The ordinance WIS referred. at the
request of the patron. to the Finance
Committee 1t reads as follows:
BE it ordained by the Council OF the
city of Richmond that section of chap
ter 13 Of the Code of 1885, be, and the same
is hereby amended to read as follows:
'"The taxes imposed by the preceding
sections shall not include the privilege OF
selling. by wholesale or retail. any wines
or spirituous liquors, or any mixture
thereof except by apothecaries furnishing
the same as medicines on the prescription
of a licensed physician. For any such
privilege a tax, in addition to all other
taxes shall be imposed. and all persons
desiring suhc privilege shall obtain spe-
cial license, for which they shall pay
$1,000.
"This ordinance shall be in force on
and after February, 1st. 1903.
Others in View.
It has been pointed out that if this
or dinance passes both branches of the
Council. it is but the forerunner of
d number Of others that would work
great changes in the regulation OF bar
rooms in the city, which would make the
work of the police many times more eff
fective and infinitely easier.
There is sentiment for the removal of
all screens and painted windows and for
the closing of every door in the saloons
save the one that opens on a street and
not on an alley.
