POPULISM AND REPUBLICAN,
ISM.

A special to the Washington Post from
Kansas City says that Former State
Senator Edwin Taylor, one of the lead
ers Of Populsm in Kansas and the West.
will support Theodore Roosevelt for Pres
ident, and declares that it is his observa-
ton that there will be stampede of
Fopulists and Socialists in that direction
next campaign.
We are not surprised to hear it. Mr..
Roosevelt has undoubtedly been catering,
whether Intentionally or not to Populists
and Socialists, and he has given them
good reason to support him. For our
part, We hope that this Kansas Populist
is right In his forecast. We hope that
the Populists and Socialists will In the
next campaign cut loose from the Dem
ocraHc party and associate themselves
with the Republican party. Moreover. 1t
seems to us ut and logical that this
change should take place, There Is moth
Ing in common between Populism and
true Democracy; there is much in COM
mon between Populism and Republican
ism.

John WEsLEY,s WORK.

To-day the Methodists Of Richmond Will
begin the celebration OF the bi-centenary
Of Methodism, this being the two hum
.dledth year Of John Wesley's birth. It is
an event Of interest and Importance, not
to Methodsts only, but to all Christian
denominations and to the whole Christian
world
John Wesley was the man for the crisis
Of his time. He was raised up for great
work, for necessary reform; he realized
the divine nature of his CALL and with
the courage and herolsm of Saul Of Tar
sus he went manfully and fearlessly and
lcvoutly to the task, and accomplished
the work that was set before him.
The church had become In his day a
great machine, and Its one object seemed
o be to exploit itself and to make strong
organization. largely regardless of the re-
ligious needs Of Its membership. John
Wesley, with the true spirit of democracy
md the true spirit, Of, Christianity In his
heart, saw that the true aim of the
church SHOULD be to exploit the individ-
nal, to promote individual piety. and that
he church was worse than useless when
It's activities were turned in any other
direction.
The little society which he organized
within the church OF England was founded
upon this principle. upon the principle Of
personal piety. 1t was small beginning;
It was like the bit Of leaven which a wo-
man hid in three measures of meal, but
il was the leaven of righteousness. and
~ once 1t began to work, nor did 1t
ease until the lump had expanded In all
directions and until 1t was entirely leay-
ened.
The whole Christian world caught the
pirit OF Wesleyanism. and to-day there
is no church worthy OF the name In all
Ghristendom which has not his missionary
spirit, which does not exert Itself for the
promotion of personal religion among Its
members.
John Wesley Is remembered and glorihed
ana beloved by the Christian world when
men more famous than he have been for
got, because he loved much and devoted
his life and his talent and his great heart
to the cause of humanity. 1t is meet and
right that the Methodists of the world
should celebrate the glorious achieve.
ments OF this glorious man. and 1t Is meet
and right that Christians OF all denomina'
ticns should join with them In this nota-
BILE religious festival.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

The General Assembly has suspended
work for the time and the members go
home for a much needed rest. IT has been
n busy session and much valuable work
has been done.
Statutes necessary to carry Into effect
the suffrage provisions OF the new Con-
stitution were enacted, and bill prohipi-
ting the use of money In elections was
passed. No bill legallzing primary cleo
lions was passed, and II the bill agreed
upon In committee Is the best that the
General Assembly is going to do. nothing
has been lost by this delinquency. The
provision in this bill fo- State and con-
gresslonal primaries Is n mere make
shift. and in some respects is worse than
the present convention plan, which the
bill seeks to preserve in all its essential
features. But of that later. we hope the
members will think better Of it before
they return to work.
Legislation needful to put the Corpora
ton Commission in active operation was
enacted and the commissions machinery
Is now complete.
One Of the most radical measures of
this session is the Mann law to regulate
the sale of liquor, which practically gives
prohibition to the rural districts. The
bill was passed in response to a COM
polling temperance sentiment throughout
Virginia.
Several important appropriations were
made. the largest being 100000 for the
Jamestown Exposition Company. and
$4,000 for the st. Louis Exposition. An
additional appropriation Of $4,000 was
made to the Farmvlle Normal and an
equal sum was added to the appropria.
ton to the Polytechnic Institute at
Blacksburg. The Petersburg Normal for
colored pupils also came in for an extra
of 5000. These In response to an i'm
