View Of the Field.
j The recent convention has renewed at
tention to the candidacy OF more than.
one man who seeks high Office at the
hands OF the people of Virginia: The
nomination OF Hon. Harry st. George
Tucker to the position OF one of the
electors at-large from Virginia is looked
upon as placing him in the list of as
pirants to the governorship. Mr.. Tucker
has not said that he seeks the nominal
tion, but It has been often suggested In
the press OF the State and elsewhere that
he was good gubernatorial timber, and he.
has said some things which would lead
to the belief hat he would like to occupy
the chair now filled BY Governor Mon
tagnc.
Mr. Swanson was one OF the conspicu-
Gus figures of The convention. ne makes
friends on every hand. He received many
assurances of support. and he will go
home feeling more than ever encouraged
to believe that he will be the nominee
when the polls are closed on the day of
the primary next year for the nomina-
tion of a candidate for the governorsh!p.
The convention was controlled by warm
friends OF Mr.. Swanson and it is only
fair to say that many of those who.
sided with tho minority in the conven
tion want to see him In the executive
mansion.
Was Winning Friends.
Mr.. Willard was a frequent figure In tho
lobbies Of the hotels, and while he did
not take an active part in the delibera
tions OF the convention. he saw as many
of the delegates as did any other man IN
Richmond. The extent of his acquaint-
ance is remarkable. 1t Is doubtful If there
are any candidates for a State office who
know so many people Predictions of
the nomination of Lieutenant-Gove
Willard are numerous.

SOME PR B4cTICE NEEDED.

It cannot be denied that until there is
 hniversal and stable peace 1t is well Ienough for nation to be prepared to defend itself. And it cannot be denied
 that if there is to be any shooting 1t is
 well enough for those who do it to be able to shoot straight. The National
 Board for the Promotion of Rifle Prac- tice has for its object the systematic
 encouragement of citizens to make themselves good rnarksmen, believing that in this way within a few years the
 United States will have more than a, million men. who for practical
 purposes on the line of battle, will meet nearly all the re-
 quireinents of the most efficient
 soldiers in the world. Tn formulating
 its recommendations it's committee has given much consideration to the plans adopted by the civilized nations of the
 world for the purpose of encouraging rife shooting among their citizens.
 and it adds that Ito those who are ac- custonled to the use Of firearms we be- lieve one thing is evident beyond all question, and 1t is that high degree of skill in rife and revolver shooting and the confidence which knowledge
 . of this skill gives will make timid man brave and a brave man more cour- ageous. For the better execution of this scheme three lines of work are proposed, the encouragement of rifle practice in the State militia where nec- essary, in military and other schools and among those who may be called up- on for military service in time of war Coming to details, the matters which it {, Is advised should receive attention are shooting galleries, field ranges, arms, ammunition, supervision, inducements, literature and publicity, and all are ex- plained at considerable length.
 At the outbreak Of the war with Spain comparatively few of the volun- teers who then enlisted were familiar with the government rife or accustomed Q shoot at long ranges. As we may not always have spaniards to fight it will be well enough to practice shooting a title before people who can shoot begin firing at us.

APPREcIArED cHIsAMEs.

It is not surprising to read that the
 experiment of introducing Chinese cool ies to labor in the gold mines of the
 Transvaal has been a great success.
 The arrival of the cooiies has enabled mines previously inactive to resume op- erations and enlarges the output of op- |erating mines that were short of labos.
 The more laborers there are the greater

 White men will not work at mining in South Africa, fashion or the climate
 putting all manual labor on the coiored
 race. It results that only by getting in
 more Kafirs and Chinese can the Brit ish element be materially increased.
 The number of available Kaffirs is lim-
 tied, but the Chinese can be had in any
 number and they do. it is found. better
 work. So far not over five thousand of
 the Chinese have been brought in, but fifty thousand will ultimately be im- ported. Provision has been made against a new race question by requir- ing the Chinese to live in compounds and to return to China at the expiration of their term of service. Strict regula- tions prevent their escape, since 1t is intended that they shall be miners, and nothing else. Their introduction is ap- proved in the TransvaaI but in Eng land it was made a party question. and many votes have been gained by repre- senttng 1t as inimical to white labor. Its advocates hold, however, that 1t is an economic question.
