HAMPDEN.SIDNEY.

We do not wish TO appear to Interfere
with the plans Of our friends IN Tide
water, but il seems TO us that II Hamp-
den-Sidney College is going TO move, IL
ought TO come TO Richmond. The
Theological Seminary is here and well
pleased with its location, and Hamp-
den-Sidney would be equally pleased,
if il should follow suit
Would il not be well for the Chamber
Of Commerce TO consider the question

venerable institution in Goods cOun-

other college in the land Of like age and

twenty eight years Of existence, with
an average attendance Of over one hun
dred students, and only one death from
disease. No epidemic in the history Of
the school, not even an endemic; Of |
what other school in or out Of Virginia |
with even score Of years Of life can
that be said ? We agree with our wOr-
thy brother that il Hampden-Sidney

belief that it would be for the greater
glory Of the God Of the church and the
highest good Of the young men prepar-

Union Seminary should sell out in
Richmond and resume its accustomed
place by the side of Hampden-Sidney

FAKE" RECIPROCITY.

Washington dispatches assure us
the platform that will be submitted to
the republican national convention
are experiencing some difficulty in the
proper wording for reciprocity resO
luton. Why should there be any? The
platform makers do not desire any
form of reciprocity and they wish the
convention to declare against reel
procity, in effect. The truth is that
like all professional platform makers
they desire to build a deceptive struc
ture; they wish to give the party such
cleVerly WOrded resolutions that the
'standpatter" will be delighted and the
reCiprOcist not offended. In other
words, they wish to make a statement
that will not be plain and definite.
OF one thing, however, we can be
pretty sure, and that is that somehow
the gist Of the declaration will be in
favor of that queer kind of reciprocity
that proposes the encOurag cement of
the importation into the United States
of the things we do not produce. But
why should there be an oppressive
tariff, to begin WITH in commodities
not produced in this country and yet
in demand here? That is hardly in
accordance with the theory of protec-
ton. A protective tariff was not in
tended by its original advocates to be
a burdensome tax. but surely a tariff
higher than is demanded by revenue
requirements on commodities we do
not produce and are not trying to pro-
duce is burdensome.
The less republicans talk about that
deceptive gold brick kind of reciproc-
ity the better it will be for the party
in the approaching campaign.

RELYING ON THE CREDULOUS.

The main republican effort in the
present national campaign is mani
testify addressed to a lower rather than
a higher or enlightened national in
cate symbol worship among the peo-
pie. Although, in the campaign of
1900, the republican party made
large use of symbols, conspicuous
among which was the full dinner
pail" it's present charlatanism goes
further. Nothing in political history
approaches it's modern stock of false
tokens. The number Of it's inventions
is reasonably attributable to necessity.
Upon scarcely any other theory than
necessity can we account for such
liberal employment of political genius.
The republican party is making its
fight for existence with mere symbols,
tokens, catch words and phrases.
prosperity" REFORM 'Protection,"
Reciprocity" are among the chief
items of its stock in trade. Laid open
to intelligent scrutiny, each of these is
meaningless and empty. A Massachu-
sets republican convention the other
day admitted that Reciprocity" was
nothing more than a deception. Pro
more reality for the masses than if it
We're spelled backward. Reform" is
absolutely without application. Pros
perity,' as ascribing a condition attrib-
utable to politics, is a label without
glue. Yet these empty sounds. by la
borious repetition, have become stere-
otyped, and the party in it's present
straits is reduced to them.
1t was Macaulay who observed that
every political sect has its esOteric
and exoteric school, its abstract doc
trines for the initiated, it's visible
symbols, its imposing forms, its myth
illogical fables for the vulgar. But, by
its sole employment of them in the
present campaign, the republican par
ty confesses that it has nothing better
to offer than the symbols, forms and
fables. 1t deals with the credulous
and defies the initiated, there being no
morale, no theory with which to per-
suade the latter. The true explana-
ton of the tariff vicious
circle could not be offered as a cam
paign argument in favor of prolonging
its power. The truth is deadly for
renewal of tenure.

upon men in less honorable station.
But why not an editorial estimate
of a waiter, if he was a good waiter,
as Henri seems to have been? Ii
isn't the task or the opportunity that
dignifies the man so much as the way
the man performs the task or i'm
proves the opportunities. This is a
very old truth, and it has been said a
great many times a great deal better. 1t
is deserving of repetition because it is
so easily forgotten and so generally
disregarded Who ever thinks Of re-
counting the virtues of a waiter and
enrolling him among those deserving
Of public commentator for having
led an honorable and useful life? And
yet if it be true that the "mnas a
man for a that" as the poet says
he is, why not waive the humbleness
Of his station and honor the man who
is faithful over a few things as was
done in the parable?
We only honor our own sense Of
fairness and justice when we recog
nize merit wherever found and the
only reason it seems strange, as in
this instance, is that we have fallen
into some bad habits of thought and
adopted some false standards of life.
1t is good thing sometimes to come
back to the first principles in our esti-
mates of men and things, and it is
gratifying to find worthy man in
one of the humblest walks Of life re-
ceiving recognition for true worth in
the editorial columns Of one OF the
great journals of the country. 1t JUS
titles the hope that we have not de-
parted so far as we may seem to have
gone from correct estimates Of true
manhood; that wealth and birth and
power have not entirely dazzled our
eyes and warped our judgment SO that
we cannot discover how much of real
heroism and nobility Of spirit; of I'M
selfishness and diligence in we'll do
ing is to be found among the men and
women who do the simple tasks and
occupy the modest stations in life.

WAR CORRESPONDENTS.

1t is the fashion for some news
papers to kick because the japanese
and Russians do not allow correspond
ents access to all parts of the scene Of
military operations on sea and land.
It was the custom during the rebellion
to allow correspondents everywhere.
only a few commanding officers re-
fused them free access to their head
quarters. General Sherman was one
who had no use for them.

Editor Statesman.
"Sir-In connection with the fol-
lowing statement published by you:
1.-The Walla Walla county delega-
ton at the republican state conven-
ton evidently played a double game
on the question of Incorporating a
railway commission plank in the party
platform. f. L. Brunton as a member
of the committee on resolutions stood
with the majority report, making no
mention of a railroad commission, but
an appointive commission came before
the convention the Walla Walla dele
CATION is reported to have voted solid
ly for commission plank after it had
been beaten long before Walla Walla
was reached in the roll call. HutsOn
of Franklin, who is the nominee for
joint senator to succeed Oliver Corn
we'll was also a member of the resOlu-
tions committee and signed the major
ity report
Il would say that on behalf of Mr..
Charles T. HutsOn and myself and in
a spirit of absolute fairness, we re-
quest that you reverse the above state
ment, both Mr.. Hutson and myself
having signed the minority report
Should any friend of the commits

action in this matter, would respect

censure without legitimate reason.
The assertion that l carried buggy
whip into the Sharpstein school for the
purpose of chastising the principal, II
necessary. is ungrounded. l was sum-
moned to the school by a message that
my daughter was badly hurt; too much
so to come home. Any mother would
in her terror have done what l did.
FASTENED to the scene at once. MY
rig was standing outside and l drove
having the whip in my hand as l did
so. In my hurry and excitement l
forgot to leave it in the rig and did
not even know l carried it. 1t is also
untrue to state that l berated Profess
sor Bond before the pupils. l talked
with him at the head Of the stairs dur
ing recess. Every pupil was in the
ward l did not dirorganize the classes
as has been stated. The only disor-
ganization l could see was due TO the
unWarranted punishment inflicted on a
helpless girl. AS to why l did not ap-
near at the court trial, as 1 was anx-
ious to do. it is fair to say that a plea
of guilty was put in for me under
misapprehension and that only the
grave illness Of my son prevented me
from fighting any attempt to have me
fined for creating a disturbance when
created none. This same family
trouble has prevented me for several
DAYS from putting myself right in the
matter.
Il wish to ask what mother would
not hurry to a school post haste If IN
formed that her child was dying. My
daughter is not an unruly child. She
is nervous to an extreme and very sem
sitive and the whole trouble has
risen through the inability of her pres
ent teacher to understand her. Other
teachers who knew her nature have
had no difficulty at any time. l feel
that the child, also as we'll as myself,
has been done a gross injustice by this
treatment Knowing this condition If

over contemplation Of the fact that a
delicately constituted girl had been
damned back and forth against a seat
until she was injured what parent can
blame me, 1 regret that through being
unable to come to the trial that the in
Fiction ia heavy fine has put me in
a wrong light before the people. l
trust this will do something toward |
correcting it.
