Voting is n Citizens Duty, Not
a Personal Favor.

The man who is the most agree
able fellow personally may be the
most disagreeable politically. The
man who is personally unpopular
because Of coldhess in his demeanor,
or any other merely temperamental
misfortune, may he admirably quail
fed for the honorable discharge of
duty.
If the decision lies between a can
didate whom you like but who is not
qualified for responsible political
duties, aud a candidate whom you do
not like, but whom you know to be
q strong, determined, and strictly
honorable man, vote unhesitatingly
for the latter. Do not srcrifice the
good of your party to the mere mat
ter OF personal attractlveness. Do
not, as Mr.. Jerome of New York sug-
gests, vote against man because he
is lacking in the sense of humor.
Sense of humor is not the test of
fitness for responsibility. Neither
is the quality known as goodfellow.
ship.
Citizens ought to be governed in
their politics as they are in their
business. They ought to have GER
tain moral principles as the rock
foundation, OF course, and certain
lines of policy dependent upon their
own opinions as managers of their
own affairs. TO carry out their ideas
and be entrusted witE their business
interests, men do not select subordi-
mates with view primarily Of en-
gaging smiles and agreeable vocabu-
laries, and all that sort of thing.
The first thought of any honest and
intelligent business man when en-
ploying representative is: Is he
trustworthy? Is he capable? Politics
is the business of the citizens collec-
lively. The same principles of in
telligent self.interest should govern
citizens in voting as govern them in
directing their individual affairs.

The editorial bears the very ex-
pressive caption "The Home Brig

manner:

old Confederate of fifty battles that

ought to put the stout young war

people be kicked into silence the

OUR MARVIN WRITER.

Good old summer time has passed
with all its Joy and merriment, and
the golden autumn is here and the
forest is clad in its varied colors of
beauty; in the midst of which We
pause and think of the journey of
Life-how, as a little lamb upon the
clover sod and over the meadows
roams, so the human family in the
spring Of life, when the tint of the
rosebud is upon its cheeks and the
sunlight of usefulness ready to dawn
in ita life, roams the unguarded and
reckless paths of life.
Soon the spring time of cur lives
passes, and the summer comes and in
like manner quickly passes into the
realms of eternity, and yet all our
powers of usefulness. are lying DOR
mant within us. Next comes the
frosty breeze Of autumn, decaying the
life which was once so rosy and agile.
One foot in the grave and the other
upon the shores of fleeting time, and
yet that one foot of power is not tread
ing paths of usefulness and right
e0usness.
Before we realize it the shadows
of winter are upon us, and we see in
the fast approaching horizon the icy
hand of the angel of departure beck
oning us to the final reckoning. Then
we look back with regret upon a
wasted life, upon unimproved oppor-
tunities through the mighty telescope
of conscience, and reflect with sor-
row in our hearts. Why not begin
to ;be useful while we are young?
Then when the autumn of life comes
our joys will be many, and in the
Great Day Of all days we shall wear,
not q crown, of thorns, but crown
of glory.
With best wishes to the CITIZEN,

THE NORFOLK PRIMARY,
tRichmond Ners Leaser)

Nstchnsohd Netrs Le<sser.)
From all accounts, the viva yoce
feature of the Norfolk Democratic
primary was an unmitigated farce,
and the general conduct of the cleo
ton was an outrageous travesty ON
fairness and honesty. For a long
time the party in Norfolk has been
split into two factions, and the squab-
ble has involved SO many intricacies
and phases and 90 much of personal
feeling, elimination and recrimina-
tion that to the outside world it has
been about as unintelligible as was
the Schleswig- -Holstein affair, when
that muddle and quarrel was or. As
to the fight of Tuesday, however,
this much we gather: For that oc-
casion, at least, the factions represents
ed, respectively, the Administrations
lists and the Observation-Disclosures.
The former controlled the election
machinery, and whatever the merits
OF their cause ran the election in
the regular old ring fashion aud mp
on the principle that the other side
had 10 rights the administrationists
were bound to respect. The machine
dominated the polls absolutely, hav-
ing shut the antis out from any rep
resentation which could keep a tally
upon the voting and check fraud and
manipulation; and the viva voce
system, says the Norfolk Ledger,
"was present only in form. The
publicity feature for which it
stands" adds the Ledger, "was absent,
the only portion of the public that
heard a voter announce by word of
mouth his choice being the two
judges and one clerk to whom the
announcement wss made" As we
understand from another source, at
each polling place Gordon of police
kept the crowd beyond ear shot, and
the voting and general proceeding
partook very much of the character
OF a secret society performance.
The Norfolk Dispatch, while in
full sympathy with the good govern.
ment movement as represented by
the administrationists, denounces the
methods introduced in the primary,
and does not hesitate to express the
conviction that Tuesdays experience
marked the passing of one-party
politics in Tidewater Virginia. 1t
does not believe that the defeated
and discounted element will return
in its entirety to the Democratic
fold, but on the contrary, is of opin-
ion that from it the "new white
mans Republican party" will draw
largely. And what the Dispatch
foresees as to Tidewater Virginia
will surely come to pass, not only
there, but throughout the State,
unless such unfair. unclean and dis.
graceful methods as obtained in the
Norfolk and ether primaries are
abandoned Immediately. The party
leaders aad authorities may "a, well
set it down once for all that the
masses are determined to root out
corruption at elections and see that
the electorate is regenerated, even at
the cost, If necessary, of party dis
integration and Republican suprem-
acy. If they cannot make the
Democratic party respectable and
honest they will build up re-
spectable Republican party in the
State. preferringuc that to con-
tinuing in political nest that is
constantly being befouled BY fraud,
corruption. trickery and all manner
OF unclean recourse.

1t has aIways been a question why
oysters from Virginia and Maryland
were not shipped to England. 1t is
generally conceded that the oysters
OF Connecticut and New York were
longer lived and would stand the
journey better than the southern
oyster, the waters of Long Island
Sound being colder, etc. Tne trans-
portation from New York is better
than at Baltimore, fast steamers
leaving New York almost every day.
The oysters are on the steamer the

SUNDAY SODA WATER.

Williamsburg, Pa, telegram to the
Philadelphia Record
The crusade against the sale of soda
water in drug stores on Sunday in
this borough under the old blue laws
took peculiar turn early this morn
ing.
Yesterday the druggists had repre-
sentatives at every church where paid
singers are employed.
A Justice Of the peace kept his office
open and at twenty seconds after IL
this morning suits were filed against
all of the singers who appeared yester.
day. All were arrested today and gave
bail for their appearance.
Yesterday the druggists and confec-
ionerst defied the burgess and kept
their stores open as usual for the sale
Of soda water and other soft drinks.
Today they were arrested as usual and
paid their fines. There Is every indi-
cation Of a very bitter fight
