Democratic SUCCESS Means Disaster.

The Democrats are anxious TO remove

it difficult, if not impossible, to do 30.
The conditions now are very much tie
same as they were in 1892, when Cleve=
land was last elected. The country was
then prosperous and everybody was APP
parently satisfied. But the election of
Cleveland Immediately checked the pros
porous condition of the nation, and as
soon as it became evident that the Demo-
Gratis would control both branches OF Con-
gress and be able to change the laws the
nation was filed with fear Of the future
and business languished.
Manufacturing enterprises stopped for
a lack of demand for their product. Mer-
chants were afraid to buy more stock than
they could Immediately dispose of, and

Is there any reason to believe that Par

party since 1892 been such as to commend

away the tariff, but WAS prevented from

the highest degree disastrous. The nation

Senator Fairbanks, speaking at Marco

the difference when Republican and DEM
ocratic party policies control the GoVern-
ment at Washington. He contrasIed what
he had just seen on trip over leading
Western railway with what be had seen
along the same line just eight years ago.
Then he found many dead engines in
the roundhouses and the sldlngs full of
empty care. A large part of the roads
equipment and many of the men who lived
by using it were idle because there was no
demand for their services. Today he found
the equipment taxed to the utmost-every
car and engine busy and every man to
whom their use could give employment at
work.
Yet there has been since 1896 no phys
cal change along that railway to account
for the change in the condition of the
people. Then Democratic policies and
Democratic blunders in government had
psralyzed industry and enterprise and FL
led the land with unused machinery and
idle men. Since then Republican efticien.

and these in turn have put machinery TO

1T is q lonely spot, wind swept and
dreary, but behind his lighthouse the
keeper has little plot of ground where
he raises chickens, with no fear Of
marauding neighbors. Recently the
steamer Princess May passed there dur
ing a bowling gale and reported dis
tress signal flying. Owing to the wealth

succor to the supposed distressed keep

THE Dominion government at Otta-

telegraphed back, ordering that the
fisheries cruiser Kestrel be sent to in
vestigate. She sped forth on her mes-
sage of mercy at once. Arriving at the
island she found high surf running.
For hours she battled with the waves,
waiting for a favoring opportunity to
send a small boat ashore. Finally her
captain made landing in his gig, He

The gentlemen at the Democratic head

to be pretty poor observers OF political

and conditions of men in the street and
elsewhere the almost universal opinion
that they are making losing fight. They

that since his speech ofacceptance the fall

that the campaign managers should know
these things. They should know, for Yer

Widows and Higher Education.
Chicago Record-Heral

Chicago Record Herald.
Some interesting figures are furnished
by the British Registrar General. The
sixty.fifth annual return, just published
shows that the proportion of English
widows who remarry grows smaller and
smaller year by year. The Registrar Gen.
erals figures concerning education and
matrimony will help to solution Of the
widow problem. These statistics show
that as illiteracy disappears divorce in
creases-a startliAg fact, indeed.
The Discrimination of people as they ad-
vance in learning to bear matrimonial re.
sponsibilities may, as has been said, &C.
count for the diminishing chances of Eng
lish widows to be led to the altar. No
other theory presents itself, hence it should
not be surprising if the widows were to be-
stir themselves and line up against educa-
ton, higher and otherwise. Terrific, in
deed, will be the shock if they ever do it,

'the silent class, along with the convicts,
idiots and and paupers.' Who put them
in that class? Not themselves, hut the
Virginia Democracy.
The Hon. Joseph G. Wysor US member
of the suffrage committee of the late con-
stitutional convention made a minority re-
port in which he assaulted the understand
ing clause as vigorously as did the News
Leader. He declared that it would be q
hardship on the industrial classes" and
would 30 Operate as 10 disfranchse many
of that honorable class. Ills predictions
and those Of the News Leader have been
more than verified, Now they not only
sanction the operations of the under
standing clause, Wy acquiescing in its das-
tardly work, but they Me upholding the
results that have flowed from the enforce
ment of the poll tax qualification for vot-
ing.
The News Leader tries to justify by claim
Ing that the responsibility for losing their
votes by failing to pay their poll tax rests
upon the men who have suffered the loss.
This position is entirely untenable. The
poll tax qualification feature Of the new
suffrage law was made deliberately for the
purpose of DISTINGUISHING the industrial
classes, the very white men it has depriv-
ed of their votes. We defy the News
Leader to successfully dispute this conten-
ton.
If the poll tax qualification was made
not to raise revenue, but to obstruct, re-
duce and restrict the electorate in Virgin
ia, are not the men and the party WHO
created the law responsible for its frultsY
Our contemporary knows that this If
true. Why then should 1t try to SHIFT the
responsibility from the shoulders OF tiiUse
who prepared the snare or pitfall to those
who are the unfortunate victims2
We would like for the News Leader TO
tell US what necessity there was for poll
tax qualification. Speak out honestly and
courageously. We want to know~lf there
is any satisfactory reason for disfranchis-
ing ten thousand honest white men in the
Ninth District we want to know it. Let
us and let the world know why the DEM
ocratic party in Virginia was constrained
to violate the pledge that mo honest white

contemporary. The closing paragraph Of
the editorial In question is wonder in
the way Of reckless assertion. The News
Leader says.
1.-THE time may come when Msssachu-
sets, fol instance, shall be peopled largely
by muIattoes, but the infection will not
spread this side of the Potomac river and
the results, good or bal, will be confined
almost entirely to Massachusetts and New
England"
If the Massachusetts, journals, and those
of the other New England States, we're dis
posed to respond in kind they could give
a severe rebuke to our Richmond cop;em-
porary. They might cay that if there be
no danger of the mulstto infection spread
ing on this side of the Potomac it is to be
accounted for by the fact that the section
Las already hecoHe immune to the mu'
latto infection-the disease having been
prevalent 80 many years, and having 30
thoroughly spread as to become moral
blight upon the South. They might make
profert of the negro population of the city
of Richmond, and of many other COM
munities, as evidence to support the
charge of illicit miscegenation. Then,
Booker T. Washington could be produced
us living evidence in support of the &C
cusation.
And proceeding further, the people Of
New England might inquire why the
laws of Virginia permit the intermarriage
of white persons and negroes?
With such abundant proof of the mu-
lstto infection in VirRinia-resultant from
illicit miscegenation-and with the fact
existing that miscegnation is now permit
ted by the laws Of the State, Massachu-
sets editors might very appropriately ask
our Richmond contemporary to take the
beam from its OWE eye before it presumed
to remove threatened mote from the eye
of the New England States
The most terrible feature of slavery as
1t existed prior to 1895 was the persistent
disposition OF lecherous white men, mostly
shareholders, TO cross the race barriers,
which God erected, and indulge in illicit
miscegenation. That the practice has
since prevailed in lessened degree is due
to the fact tnat slavery was abolished and
that there has been a constantly growing
race-pride among the negroes. The more
a pride of race is enlarged the DISPOSE
ton to mix the races will be corre-
spondingly diminished, and miscege-
nation will practically cease to ex-
Ist; though it may be encouraged
Cr permitted by statute law, as
is now the Gaze in Virginia. Both races
will become more averse to mixing social
ly or by marriage, because they will realize
more fully that the moral, intellectual
and physical welfare of each race demands
that they be kept absolutely unmixed.
Social equality is an impossible thing
between men Of the same race, and much
more impossible between men of different
races. Mixed marriages will be prohib.
ted by racial antipathies and commend.
able race pride. There may be excep-
tonsl instances where lustful white men
will cross the lines, but the pure white
women will continue to remain, as they
have always done, on their own side of
that line.
