THE STATE LIBRARY.

In providing a new governing body for
the State Library the Constitutional Con-
vention, we think, indicated desire
that the Library should be put upon a
better footing and made more useful
hereafter than 1t has been heretofore.
Those who have managed 1t hitherto
have shown ability and devotion, and de-
serve we'll of the public. but In the very
nature of things they could not adapt the
Library to the best modern methods.
They were encompassed by conditions
and hampered by traditions, which they
were powerless to break. We are not
blaming or belittling them; by no means.
Mr. w. w. Scott. who has served ac-
ceptably good many years as librarian.
and who is a learned and accomplished
gentleman, has taken a new position--ln
charge Of the Law Library-and so the
office OF State Librarian will be vacant
so soon as his successor is appointed.
say, October 1st. This place the library
committee holds should be filled by some
one who has been trained in a school
established for librarians, and We cannot
but believe they are right.
1t distresses us to think how disap-
pointed most Of the candidates must be,
but we firmly believe that the course re-
solved upon by the committee Is the
proper one. At time when the Library
is to be started upon new career, 1t
is of the highest Importance that the
hand at the helm should be that Of an ex-
pert; a man up-to-date in the making OF
catalogues and In all the other work
pertaining to a great library. If, in addl-
ton to these qualifications. one can be
found who is somewhat at home among
books relating to Virginia. so much The

That is all right In appearance, but the

another place. I'm the historic principle
OF protection"
That is the principle" to which De-
mocracy is uncompromlsingly opposed.
With the principle of protection once rec
ognized there will undoubtedly be class
legislation. No tariff law can be built
upon that principle without bestowing
special favors upon some classes to be
injury OF other classes. The only tariff
which does not discriminate is the tariff
for-revenue-only, and that is the kind OF
tariff for which Democracy must stand.

pies upon which the party was founded.
1t has been abundantly demonstra ted
that the manufacturers Of this country
can sell their goods in foreign lands In

They have learned to manufacture at
the lowest possible cost, and with Amer

men, the best In the world. there Is no
occasion for tariff to protect Ameri-
can wares from foreign competition. The
whole theory Is wrong, and IL Democ-
racy does not fight that theory 1t Is not
Democracy save in name.
In 1892 the Democratic party went be-
fore the people with straightout dec
laration in favor OF tarifr-for-revenue-
only. and 1t won magnificent victory.
If the party will plant itself upon such
principle next year, other planks In the
platform being equally sound, and put
forward a man in whom all classes OF
people have confidence, we verify believe
that the victory Of 1892 will he repeated

A BRAVE SHERIFF..

The proclamation Of Sheriff William
c. gill. of Chesterfield county, is entitled
to be framed and given place OF honor
In the home Of every law abiding Citizen
of Virginia. It is a frank and manly
statement Of the situation and righteous
and courageous appeal for law and order.
He offers no apology for calling out the
troops, as he deems 1t his duty to do so
In the interest of the public peace. He
calls upon all good and law abiding citl-
zens to aid him in preserving law and
order, declaring that tho law must and
shall be enforced at all hazard and with
out respect to person.
He gives warning that all evil.disposed
persons showing resistance to the law
will be promptly arrested and prose
He commands all idlers to keep off the
streets, and he warns the people against
gathering in crowds along the line of the
street railway. and forblds all noisy and
dlsorderly conduct
II am determined" says he In con-
clusion, 80 far as in my power to main
tain the majesty Of the law and to pre-
serve the fair name OF Chesterfield coun-
ty from being furnished by riots and
mobs"
All honor to Sheriff Gill! He is an
officer who knows his duty. and who has
the grit and the grace to discharge it
without fear or favor. This proclama-
ton has the sound Of bugle call, and
all law-abding citizens of that vicinity
will be thrilled by 1t and will rally to the
support OF the sheriff. If we had such
officers everywhere in the State of Vtr-
ginia and at all times, the riotous ele-
ment would rarely have the holiness to
assert themselves, and law and order
would almost invariably be maintained.
Long live the sheriff of Chesterfield; long
life to him as man and long life to him
as a public official and conservator OF
the peace!
