A Hot Political Eight.

About the hottest political fight Of recent
years finished yesterday. in the elections at
Lewisham and Dulwich, suburbs of London
where the 'Nonconformists," as Church of
England people call those of any other
faith. bulks large. The fight has been most
excited over religion and taxes, or rather
Mr.. Chamberlain's fiscal plans. The results
or these bye elections are regarded of great
Importance, as they are the first to take
place In greater London since the fiscal
scheme was sprung on the country. The
liberals have raised the education question
and even the importation of Chinese labor
into South Africa. but the unionist candi-
dates have done their best to confine the
issue to the policy of free imports. Both
Chamberlain candidates have been elected
and these two great populous boroughs
show that they are directly and emphatical-
ly on the side Of Mr.. Chamberlain. Their
verdict will doubtless have much effect on
the situation.
Americans are not at present greatly con-
cerned In these elections. but 1t may be In
teresting to learn to what extent the Non
conformist" Introduces his religion into
politics. For instance, Dulwich for a week
past has been placarded with posters as
follows:
GOD.
who will you vote for? God or man.
mon? Love or hate? Peace or war? Jus
tice or jobbery? Crime or virtue? Shut
your door. pray to your Father in secret;
ask God. your Father, for light and leading
Weigh the two men in the balance. Look
at their acts Look at their characters"
Here is another In the same VEIN
"Oh, God, the Father of all, Boer or
Brfton, black or white. master and slave

and love. Show them their duty and fill

THE UNISON WEED.
PrOba bly a Legacy to Us From South
America or Asia.

Once upon time the name of James
town must have been very sharply
shortened. Within the memory Of
many people now living James was
pronounced "Jeems;" in fact, we be-
lieve that that was the accepted pro
nunciation of our Nirginian forefa-
Tiers But "Jim'' must have been the
diminntivc of "Jeems," as we'll as of
James; at least we judge SO because
what is popularity known as "the jim
son weed really is the jamestown
weed.
Nor is there any reason to suppose
that this contraction was made jeer-
ingly or sneeringly. More probably 1t
grew into use Jess So and we find
intelligent Americans to whom it has
never occurred that there Is any con-
nection whatever between jamestown
and Unison. All the same, the au-
thorities say that "Jimson" Is 'short"
for the name Of the place where the
English made their first permanent set
Element In what Is now the United
States and where the Old Dominion's
first capital was located.
The jimson weed, however, IS not q
native plant, but probably came to us
from South America or Asia. 1t is
question how it got to jamestown, but
we believe it is conceded that 1t is not
indigenous to Virginia. If it was de-
liberately and designedly imported, 1t
must have been because of Its medic
inal value; certainly not for its odor.
which is vile; certainly not for its flow
ers and leaves, because they do not
compare in beauty with those of scores
Of native plants. And, while this weed
is now recognized as having some me-
dicinal value, it may not have had that
reputation then" with Europeans. The
Chinese, however, use it to some ex-
tent incidentally and may have done
so from time immemorial, that country
being little given to the acceptance of
new ideas or new remedies.-Richmond
