PAY BEFORE YOU PLAY.

The assessment of candidates who
will run in the approaching primaries
has been severely criticised, and pro
badly with justice. 1t seems rather
sad in Virginia where the average
Office seeker is poor but respectable,
that he should be compelled to put up
more money to become candidate
than he could possibly have at the end
OF his term after practising the strict
est economy in Office. 1t looks as if
politicians had learned the game of
draw poker, where i'm order to play one
must ANTE, and yet it would be unjust
to suppose that the average politician
outside Major Jim Stubs. ever under
stood what the word ANTE meant.
We are sure, however, that could our
forefathers return and behold each
candidate pushing bis stake up to the
center OF the table before the game
begun" he would be Mortified, because
in ancient days in this good old COM
monwealth few men ever stood for
ONCE who had money enough to pay
their stage fare to the seat of govern
ment. and when they returned they
left behind them many gentle remind
ers OF their having spent the winter |
there. but which had no further known |
value. What would such men have
done had they been compelled to pay,
or put up the actual cash, before their
names could have been placed on the
ballot2 This is indeed an age of COM
mercialism, if not graft, a breaker of
traditions, and we hear it intimated
that many parts of the State will hold
no primaries because even under the
assessment there will not be money
enough to 60 around. 1t will be curl
GUS to behold the sections of the State
where such a thing will happen. We
are certain Of one thing, it will not
occur in any part of the State where
the Organization" does not hold sWay.
or think it holds sway.

A PROBLEM SOLVED.

Last week the SPECTATOR publishes
few interviews with prominent mer
chants, lawyers and financiers, touch
ing the senatorial Situation, that ii
the SPECTATOR purported to have in
terviewed such gentlemen, the names
being withheld. The fact is, no inter
views ever took place, the whole being
kind of dream of one Of the SPECTA
TORS reporters. He dreamed that ht
might have obtained such interviews
if he had gone amongst the prominent
men of the town, but be never did 60
AS strange as it may seem the SPEC.
TAToR has been approached by varl.
GUS merchants who thought that they
were the ones to whom the interview
referred. Lawyers in different moods,
some laughing, others piqued, have
dropped in on, or accOsted the editor on
the street, to the number-well we
don't want to be too specific elling
him that when they talked they did not
exactly do so for publication, and that
they supposed casual cOnversatl on
was regarded as confidential. So too
with the tinanciers. We have many
prominent ones In Staunton, several
who combine little politics with bus
mess. Several of these have come for
ward, and each has gently upbraided
the SPECTATOR for bringing them SO
conspicuously before the public. When
they talked, they said, they supposed
that whilst the reporter would sup
press their names he would not place
their utterances in such words that
their acq uaidtances would know them
as quickly as if their names had been
signed to the interviews. OF course if
their acquaintances knew them by
what was said in the purported inter-
view, they must have talked to their
acquaintance before hand in the same
strain, hence no harm could follow,
but just how SO many different mer-
chants, lawyers and business men
could give utterance to the same words
in one short interview which never
took place we are at loss to know,
and that too when our reporter sat
down and wrote the purported inter-
views in his own den, or dreamed
them as he lay upon his downy couch.
The trouble can only be solved in
one way. The interviews were alleged
to have been had with PROMINENT ="
men, hence most everybody in his
calling OR profession thought he was
the person meant. Once the SPECTA-
TOR had some actual interviews with
actual men, whom it styled .'promi-
nent." The case was a sad one. Those
omitted from the list or overlooked, in
many instances became cool, in others
unfriendly. Having now tried the use
of that word in two ways, we have
concluded it is dangerous word to
use in StauntOn, so great is our list.

FAIR PLAY, PLAYED OUT.

There has been an impression ere
ated, or sought to be created, tina,
great liberallty and magnanimity were
SHOWN by the Martin element of the
State Central Committee in the selec
ton of later date than was expected
Tor the primary, and that Gov. MOnta
CUES opportunity to canvas the State
was In no reasonable sense abridged.
We are prepared to state that there
was no magnanimity in the affair, if
there had been September 9th, 18th,
18th or 18th, might just as well have
been adopted. The committee which
has been organized by the ''organiza-
tion, and so organized that nothing
but organization methods prevail, did
nothing that they were not compelled
to do. They met Oh the 10Th to fix a
date for the primaries, they undertook
to fix the date ON the 10th of August,
but such date would cut off many
Legislative candidates and it would
have been impossible to have given the
required 60 days notice, The people
will take notice that the date was fixed
just as soon as it could have in decency
been, and almost as soon as it could
have legally been, and it was not fixed |
even at that date without a great
struggle on the part of those who were
not for Senator Martin.
We publish below what the Times
Dispatch of the 10Th said of the causes
and the reasons which led to the
adoption of the 22d of August, where
it will be seen that magnanimity and
fair play to Gov. Montague had moth
ing whatever to do with the matter:
1.-The Democratic State Central Com
nlttee, after a session lasting hours,
finally agreed upon Tuesday, August
I'D. as the date for the State primary
sOr the nomination for Senator, Gov
ern0r and other State officers, elective
n November. This date was adopted
lbout midnight, after the committee
lad already adopted August 10th as
he date. A reconsideration of this
was moved and carried
without serious objection, owing to
he fact that under the terms of the
'arty plan, which requires sixty days.
of date of primary, it
would be impossible in many cases for
legislative candidates to be voted for
n the same primary, and would there.
y subject them to great expense and
ardshlp. A stubborn and long con-
inued fight was waged on this prOpo
ition. The advocates of a late prima-
y strenuously opposed the early date I
nd offered amendment after amend
nent, and when voted down resOrted
o calls for ayes and noes. Finally
his was ended by limiting the amend {
1ents to those already before the +
OHSe.
The dominant faction in the com
1ittee, the friends of Senator Martin, d
ED a conference and concluded that
would be wiser to select later date. r
accordingly the motion of Major
Gaines to reconsider prevail
d, and the later date WAS then unani- c
lously agreed to- t

AUGUSTA BEATS THE WORLD.

One who rides down the Valley Turn
pike as far as Willow Spout, which il
not more than eight miles, will en-
counter three toll gates. This shows
| thrift. We have read of the Beef
trust, and the Standard Oil, and other
corporations which look into the peO
pies pockets and count the cash there
and then lay their plans to get it.
These have been very successful, but
the Valley Turnpike Company for its
size and opportunities distances them
all. The b. 81 o. railroad belongs to
the trusts, 1t is a good tariff collector
and it's rates for travelling and carry
Ing freight are stiff enough, but it costs
more in tolls to drive in ones own We.
hlcle to Fort Defiance than it costs to
ride there on the railroad, the railroad
furnishing everything. Three toll
gates within eight. miles will do tolera-
bly, well, but there is room for five
more-One every mile, and just why
one is not placed every mile is marvel
Gus. By this means it would make
little difference whether the traveller
went up and down or across the pike
the toll collector could get him. We
call the especial attention of the au-
thOrities to the fact that it occasional.
ly happens that persons cross the pike
without being compelled to pay, q
thing which must disturb those in
authority greatly. A toll gate Is
thing no well regulated community
can afford to do without. The people
between Staunton and Willow Spout
are peculiarly favored both by nature
and art, such high art as the owners
and controllers of turnpike know
how to practice. But other portions
of the county between Willow Spout
and BurketOwn must seem neglected.
for down there they lack one toll gate
at least to be on a par with their
to the South of them.
