An Open Letter to the Citizens Of
Roanoke.

ALI over the city of Roanoke are heard
complaints and expressions of indignation
over this changing Of school books every 4
years. The law was enacted by the State
Legislature, they say, for the good of the
schools. Fellow citizens, we are not such
noodle-heads as to believe that. We have
our opinion as to the true reason. This is
a heavy cross on the working class who
find it almost impossible to make both
ends meet, without this needless expense.
In the writer's family of 8 children the
new books will cost about $l2. So what
will 1t cost those who have twice that
number? The children were told by the
teachers they would be allowed half price
for their old books. That is not true; for
IL books In good condition, the writer re-
ceived the sum of $l.30. The defaced
ones were refused at any price. Fellow
citizens, you have tsmely submitted to
this outrage long enough, Will you never
arise in your might and refuse to be fieeced
any longerP This speculative scheme will
deprive scores of poor children Of school
privileges. The percentage of illiteracy OF
this State is l3. What disgrace! The
ruling class seems to prefer jails and police
to school houses. Citizens, why do you
not demand compulsory education, and
the books furnished by the State. Other
States furnish the school books at a cost of
mill in the dollar. 1t would put a stop
to these book agents overrunning the
State every four years ct oAr expense
The writer would like this matter DISCUSS
ed by other citizens. Even if we cannot
accomplish much this time, it will be q
step in the right direction.
Mrs. EMMA GOODMAN.
The above is from the Roanoke World
of the 9TH inst. 1t is Democratic news.
PAL er and the writer is Democrat, all
her male reletives being connected with
that party.

THE CANDIDATES DIFFER.

The great mass of the Democratic voters
not only disagree among Themselves on
important national questions, but IL seems
that the candidates on the Presidential
ticket do not agree OIL the tariff question.
Judge Parker has announced his sympa-
thy With the tariff plank ofthe Democratic
platform which says that protection is
robbery"
Senator IL. q. Davis, the Democratic
candidate for Vlce-P lent, made a
speech at Wheeling, w. Va, on last
Thursday, in which he said the Republi-
can speakers were disappearing the
Democratic party on the tariff question.
Senator Davis said
"My position on the tariff was stated by
me in au address l made in the United
States Senate in 1883, as follows; am
for tariff that will yield sufficient reVe'
nues for the economical and proper ex-
expenditures of the Government, and in
that tariff believe incidental protection
to our industries is right and proper l
see no reason for changing my position as
then stated"
1t has generally been understood that
MIR. Davis is a Protectionist, and theoret-
ically as well as practically he has adhered
to the policy of Protection. He plants
himself now squarely against the plat
form on which he is running. He j.
forced to take this position or be convic-
ted of insncerity. He has been and Is
protectionist and cannot afford to TT.
concile himself with his running mate on
the Presidential ticket.

THEY ARE COMING AGAIN.

1t is announced in the Democratic pa
pers that Governor Montague and Senator
Daniel are coming again to the Ninth
Congressional District to speak in behalf
Of so. called Democratic principles and to
try to make the people believe that their
party Is worthy Of confidence We re-
member that these two distinguished gens
tlemen came into the district four years
ago and gave full assurance to the people
that the Virginia Democracy intended to
keep its solemn pledges made in connec-
ton with the movement for the making of
constitution. Mr.. Montague was then
Attorney General of the State and an as
piraut for the more exalted position he
now occupies. Major Daniel was then
United States Senator as he is now. Both
of them had written letters In which they
had declared that if new constitution
was made it would surely be submitted to
the people for ratification or rejection.
Mr.. Montague in his letter said that to
proclaim constitution would be In viola.
ton of the. fundamental principles under.
lying the making of all constitutions, and
that be would never give his consent to
such a course on the part of his party.
Senator Daniel had taken a similar posi-
ton.
In speech delivered at Wytheville
four years ago Senator Daniel declared
that the Republican papers and speakers
wers liars, because they we're telling the
people that the pledges Of the Virginia
Democracy made in the State convention
at Norfolk would he violated. Both Dan
lei and Montague in their speeches in the
Ninth District pledged that the constitu
ton should be submitted and that no new
suffrage law would be made that would
reduce the white electorate of the State by
DISTINGUISHING white men.
If Governor Montague and Senator
Daniel do come to this district to make
speeches in this campaign, we suggest that
they be asked why the pledge that the
constitution should be submitted to the
people was not kept. 1t will be interest
ing to know why the Honorable Andrew
Jackson Montague, after swearing that he
would meier consent, consented to an act
Of usurpation and of party per6dy. 1t
would also be interesting to hear the
Honorable John Warwick Daniel explain
away the statements in his speech at
WythevilIe that Republicans were liars
because they predicted that the Virginia
Democracy would do the very outrageous
things he afterwards helped it SO earnestly
% do.
Of course these gentlemen will come
gain with smiling faces and willing lips,

grave offense committed by him and con-
done a much graver offense perpetrated
by Mr.. Cleveland
In its comments on our editorial of the
18th inst. the News Leader says:
ave cannot understand what the Taze-
well Republican means by saying and re-
peatiBg in the article under discussion
that the laws of Virginia permit the inter-
marriage of whites and blacks. The truth
is our laws specifically and directly forbid
such marriages and provide punishment
for all concerned in them"
We did not say what the News Leader
attributes to us, but We did say that "the
laws of Virginia permit the iateimarriage
of white persons aud negroes" and we are
able to make that statement good
The statute law of the State as found in
the Code of 1873, Chapter 1872, Sec 8, did
forbid the marriage Of white persons and
negroes. That section is as follows;
"Any white person who shall inter
marry with a negro shall be confined in
jail not more than one year and fined not
exceeding one hundred dollars"
No penalty was put upon the negro ~ho
intermarried with a white person.
In 1887 a new or revised Code was
adopted by the Democratic Legislature of
Virginia. The new code was revised by
Judge Waller r. Staples, Judge +. @.
Burks and Major John W. Rely. The
first two we're ex-Judges of the Court OF
Appeals and Major RELY afterwards be-
came Judge of that Court. The revlsers
changed the above quoted section in the
Code of 1873 and placed it in the Code of
1887 80 that it reads as follows:
"Sec. S7SS. If any white person inter-
marry with coIored person, or any col
ored person intermarry with white per-
son, he shall be confined in the peniten-
tiary not less than two nor more than five
years."
1t will be observed that the words "col-
ored person" were substituted for me
gro." Then section 40 of the Code of
1887 is as follows:
every person having one-fourth or
more of negro blood shall be deemed a
colored person, and every person not col
ored person having one-fourth or more of
Indian blood shall be deemed an INDIAN !,
These are all the provisions contained in
the Code of Virginia with reference to
white persons intermarrying with colored
persons or negroes. So 1t will be seen that
for the past seventeen years under the
statute Law of the State negroes having
less than one-fourth negro blood can law
fully intermarFy with white persons. In
stead of specifically forbidding miscege-
nation, it is specifically le2alized.
Very few persons, perhaps, knew that
the statute Jaw of the Commonwealth was
of such nature. That such is the law
and has been for 30 many years demon
strates tnat all the pretended sppres
tensions of the Virginia Democrats about
miscegenation and social equality are
groundless. 1t proves clearly that under
no circumstances will either the white or
colored people be induced to intermarry
even when permitted by the law. There
Lave been and will be exceptions, but
these exceptions are so rare as only TO
prove the rule.
