Guiding Their Brains
Old Dominion Sun.

Old Dominion Sun.
The Performers" in the Democratic
party of Virginia seem to be cuddling
their brains as how to enforce the "Barks-
dale Election Law" by evading it. The
process decided upon is to assess ali the
city officials of Richmond according to
their salaries in order to raise campaign
fund. The claim is that if they are as.
sessed before they announce their candi-
dacy that it will not be in violation Of the
law, but simply "whipping the devil
around the stump" and reaching direction
by indirection. 1t would be more manly
for the committees to do as they did in
the Henrico election, simply ignore the
law and make their own wills and pur'
poses the rule by which they will be gov
erned The pretense of aiming to have
pure elections and enacting statute o.
tensibly to effect that result and then
scheming to deliberately nullify it, reflects
no credit on the party or organization that
engages IN such discreditable work. We
shall watch with some interest to see how
far this policy of evasion is practiced and
what comments the Democratic press will
make on it.

PARKER AN ACCIDENT
David B. Hill In the Saddle Riding Over
His Enemies.
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
Judge Parker is known simply as an &C.
cident. He was elected Chief Judge by a
"fuke," owing solely to the division OF
the Republicans of this city in 1897 and
the failure of thousands of them who had
no wish to elect Judge Parker, but were
determined not to lose their votes for
Mayor by any ticket splitting, to vote for
Judge Wallace. If the mere carrying OF
the State by Democrat constitutes him a
Presidential possibility then John Cum
neen is q much stronger candidate than
Judge Parker. He actually won when all
his fellows on the State ticket were beaten,
and he, perhaps, could gain the help OF
the Prohibitionsts of the country for the
Democratic ticket. But the personality
of the candidate, after all, does not much
matter. The important thing is that Hill
is once more in the saddle and riding over
all his old enemies. Judge Parker's name
is as good as any other for his purpose, es'
pecially as the Democrats in Washington
are making point of running some quail
ties rather than a personality for Presi-
dent. A strong personality like Roose'
welt, be it understood, is bad thing and
as undemocratic as Andrew Jackson

The Lynchburg News says: "There is
nothing in the platform of the New York
Democratic convention to which any
Democrat can object. 1t has been crit.
cised as a series Of platitudes or
political axioms." That was the criticism
OF Bourke Cochran made on the floor of
che convention. Mr.. Cochran also said
to the Hill men, who controlled the con-
vention: "And now you propose 10 NOM
mate upon it 0he platform) man who
can stand for anything or nothing" Of
course there Is nothing in platform Of
meaningless platitudes or about candi-
date "who can stand for anything or
nothing" to which any Southern Demo
crat can object. The Washington Post
says: "Once more the plan Of campaign
dictation by New York and compliance by
this section chiefly relied upon for votes
is to be tried"

Disease as a War Ally.

New York Times.
The dispatch from st. Petersburg to the
effect that an epidemic Of cholera and
typhoid is threatened at Hardin, the Rus
sian military base in Manchuria, is sur
prising only by reason Of the fact that it
was permitted to pass the censorship.
What has been learned from the ex-
perience 10 former wars seems to be easily
forgotten. In the Crimes the French lost
226 men from sickness to Ga from wounds
in each thousand. The death rate OF the
English was 179 from sickness and AZ
from wounds. In Mexico the French
lost, per 1000, 14O from sickness and 10
from wounds In the Russo-Turkish war
the Russians lost, per 1000, lib from
sickness and 40 from wounds. The losses
in the American Civil war during two
years June, 1861, to June, 1868, we're 53.2
per 200, of which S.6 were from wounds
and "A. 6 from sickness. In the Boer war,
while the figures are not at hand in COM
plete form, it ls well known that sickness
was vastly more fatal than Boer marks
manship, deadly as that was admitted to
be.

Louisville Herald.
This campaign finds that varied and adj
mirable orator, the Hon. Bourke Cochran,
again on the Democratic side after long
and varied journey among other parties
and even among many factions Only a
year ago it was announced that he in
tended to return to Ireland, enter Parlia-
ment, and espouse the cause of Irish free
dom. But there was nothin' dom when
it came to the point
Mr.. Cochran has the gift Of alighting on
the side of defeat. His temperance as a
Democrat must be disheartening to the
hopeful of that belief But he is an inter-
esting and vigorous figure on what may be
literally termed the stage Of politics. He
is great actor and poor prophet.

War and Progress
New York World.

New York World
In the ninety years of warfare, from
1890 to 1880, 100000 lives were lost, ac'
cording to Mulhall, and more than fifteen
billions of dollars spent. Europe has lit
orally been fertilIzed by human blood; is
it to be questioned whether the fertiliza-
ton has not cost more than the crop?
Enlightened craftsmanship must agree
with Macaulay that "the circumstances
which have most influence on the transl.
ton Of communities from poverty to
wealth are due to noiseless revolutions not
achieved by armies as sanctioned by
treaties They are carried on in every
school, in every church, behind 10000
counters, at 10000 fresides." War is
least of all their determining factor.

HOPELessLY CONFUSED

Our esteemed contemporary, the Nor
folk Virginian-Pilot, still continues to de-
mand that the Presidential candidate Of
its party be taken from the South; and
the delegates from Virginia be instructed
for a Virginian. 1t gives the subservient
Democracy of the South singing rebuke
for yielding everything to New York.
Our contemporary says:
"The plain truth is that in the New
York Democracy there is tug of war be-
tween the graft of the poor and the graft
of the rich-between plutocracy and social
lsm-between the corporation lawyer and
the dive keeper, the beer-slinger and tie
Spectator.
"The Virginian- Pilot, for one, is tired
of this sort of thing. 1t is persuaded, and
firmly persuaded, that out Of New York
this year neither sane policy nor q
strong candidate is to be expected. There
is not New Yorker In New YORK tnat
can carry the State for the Democracy if
this row is to be kept upland the chances
of peace are SLIM"
Our contemporary then asserts: "But
with the Democracy of the South it is
different. We have preserved traditions.
We have adhered to the principles. We
have made no bargain With Mammon and
no bid for Bedlam. We have neither
gone for pap nor gone to pot"
We admire the loyalty Of spirit which is
exhibited by our contemporary in its earn
est defence of the Democracy Of the South;
but cannot be otherwise than astonished

Brief Chronicle of the Important Happenings
To Build an Oil Mill.

Dr.. R. V. Powers, well known va
zoo county planter and capitalist who
moved to Jackson several months
since has been notified Of his appoint
ment as postmaster at Silver City, his
old home. The place was formerly
known as Palmetto Home, but a
change has been made in the name by
the postofice department, and DIR.
Powers is expected to qualify for the
office on the 1st of January. Although
he will probably accept the place, DIR.
Powers is not likely to bother with
the work of handing out mail to his
old neighbors, but will have a deputy
look after the Office. Just at present
DIR. Powers is engaged in formulating
plans to build large cotton oil mill
at Silver City, and work on the plant
will be commenced during the early
spring.
