"Our Next President"

Our washington correspondent says
that the Indications arc that Mayor
George B. Mcclellan, of New York city,
will be the next Governor of New York
state, and the logical nominee Of the
Democratic party for the Presidency in
1908. This Is not mere personal opin-
ion, but the drift OF sentiment in WASH
iDston. and so we have It again, three
years i'll advance, that the Democratic
party must take Its candidate from the
state of New York. Away With the idea.
Tho party took its&candidate from New
York last time and suffered the most
terrific defeat IN It's existence. There
are other States in the Union there are
other men In other States quite compe-
tent and worthy TO receive the party's
greatest honor and II public sentiment
continues to grow as II has done within
the past few months the Southern States
will have something TO say on this cub
ject when tho next convention meets.
Al any rate, 1t Is entirely too early to
say that In 1903 the party will be con-
fined TO the State OF New York In max
ins It's selection, II is too early to take
anything for granted,

The Bows and the Birds.

The Norfolk Landmark speaks of the
necessity of an active society In Vir-i
gnia for the protection Of our birds,
1t Is timely topic. There are game laws
III Virginia, and we take for granted that
they are for the most part observed but,
these laws are merely negative, and the
birds should have the fostering care Of
an active association of those who love
them for their own sake There should'
be State society, with branch societies
in every city, town and county We have
often spoken of the need OF such an assoc.
citation in tho city Of Richmond. The,
enemies Of the birds in the city suburbs
are the boys and their grit shooters and
air rifles. In the evening these young
warriors go out to battle with the birds,
and shoot and Kill them for tho mere
sport of taking life.
Several years ago a colony of little
fcathercd songsters settled down to house
Keeping inNthc trees sons Grove Road.
Their, wings were goldcn-ti tipped; they
were as pretty as art could make them,
and they had a merry song. They were
welcome visitors, and citizens Of the
neighhorhood enjoyed them and hoped
that they would remain as permanent
denizens. But IN a little while the boy
and his grit shooter appeared, and there
was bloodshed, and there was consterna-
ton, and In a little while tho birds had
taken wing and gone to more peaceful
community. It was an outrage; yet no
body said anything and nobody did any
thing, and the boys went forth to other
fields and other conquests,
AS a result of this sort OF warfare there
nre few birds in the suburbs of Rich
mond although the conditions In many
sectins are favorable to their habitation.
Hence tho call for q society In Rich
mond, not merely In the interest of the
birds. but In tho interest of the boys.
1t is lnhuman for boys to kill birds under
these !, circ,lmstances-little Insignificant
birds that are not fit to eat; that arc
not killed for that purpose, but are killed
simply FOR the sake Of slaughter. There
Is no true sport in 1t. 1t IS brutal and
brutnlizlng. or course, the boys do 1t
thoughtlessly, and thereofrc, there is so
much the greater need for an educational
society to teach them better, Let us
save both the boys and the birds. Let us
save the birds from the boys and the boys
| from their savage instincts.

.Republicanisn VS.. Democracy.

(
In referring to the fact that III 1876
Judge Lewis Informed President Grant
! that there was n demand for Federal
troops to supervise ut the election In
Petersburg the staunton Dispatch says
&s''rhere is an irrcconciable difference
/. between the man who holds to the theo-
rles of government that Judge Lewis en-
$tertains and the man who believes in
local government, jealous and of federal
\ interference. Judge Lewis act OF 1876
was merely symptomatic; he virtually
says by his expression Of pride over II
that he would repeat 1t on occasion.
Democrats will think twice before thoy
MIL abandon the party that is inbued
with n contrary spirit to vote for Judge
Lewis
It was in that spirit that we called at
tention to Judge Lewis affidavit. Wo
have not criticised him as man, we
have criticised him as a leader OF the
1 Republican party in Virginia, and We
have called ,pnblic attention to tho school
Of politics whch'he represents Judge
4 Lewis Is an orthodox Republican, be-
leving In centralzation, In u tariff for
y protection, and all the principles and
+.
doctrines of the Republican party.
which are tho antltheses OF the Demo-
cratic principles and Democratic doe
trines. We do not ask Democrats in
Virginia TO vote against him simply be-
cause he recommended that troops be
sent to Petersburg, Or because he held
office under the Malone regime. or be-
cause he did this thing or that thing, but
because he is the exponent of Rcpub-
llcan doctrine A vote for Judge Lewis
IS a vote for Republlcansm and for Re
publican rule in Virginia, and we are
opposed to both. II Is impossible TO sep.
arate and dlfferentiate the man from the
z party whose standard he bears and
whose principles he advocates vote
for the man Is a vote for the party and
all that 1t stands for For these reasons
no true Democrat can vote for Judge
