REGULATION OF RATES.

There is belief among Democratic
Senators that no action will be taken py
Congress this session touching regula
ton of railroad rates. This regulation
has been almost a hobby of MIR. Bryan 5
and we little thought that We wouiu
so soon see any Of bis ideas taken hoiu
of by Republican President ana
Republican Congress. with such ap'
parent determination to push them 10
results. Senator Joe Bailey of Texas,
is one of the senators who asserts
positively that nothing will be DONE
and be seems to think that the Kepuo
licans are only trying to make DelleVe-
Of course there are other important
matters which will have nothing done
with them. The tariff will not DC
touched, and yet it is really more I'M
portant than anything else. Ii, now
ever. the tariff lords can push trouble
off themselves they will not care who
it falls upon. 1t therefore is likely
they may join in the cry against the
railroads in order to turn public gaze
away from their pernicious acts ahs
the paternal laws under whicrthe.
are now robblng and have for year,
robbed the public.
But the subject is large one. Whei
this or any other Congress passes a iaV
which will give the public the reiie1
thinks it ought to have. then mas con

of the age. The regulation OF rates

RemodeIing Store Room.

Messrs. w. W. Putnam q Co., are
making some needed changes IN their
already commodious store building on
West Main stress. All three stories
and basement will be used by Them
on the firstfloor will be found dis
play OF organs and smaller instru-
-nents and pianos on the second.
To this end wide stairway
inside the store is being built
from the first to the second floor, the
elevator for lifting instruments up ana
down from cellar to third floor, being
placed further in the rear to make
room for the stairs. The two floors
will be done over entirely. and when
finished will present handsome ap'
nearance. When all alterations art
made the stock fully recruited, the DIS
play will probably be the largest OF th'
kind in the state, with the finest Ia
lciIities for handling. These change
have been made necessary by the steadi

DECIDEDLY IT.

A decided case of 1t, has been deVel'
oned in the Southwest. Those VINO
have been to the Virginia Legislature
were accustomed to hear statesmen
from that quarter norate on line
Great Southwest" Language was
often not sufficiently expressive to con-
vev their ideas and the admirlng
listener was compelled at times to call
ON his imagination after the dictionary
was exhausted. Senator Johnston,
Col. Withers, and later Gen. Walker,
Col. Wysor, Gen. Ayres, Col.Slemp ana
many other of her noble sons have
held assemblies rapt In admiration at
the story of her greatness and wealth.,
and the half was not told. But IL mas
remained for Col. Slemp, that rising
star in the Republican armament to
spread the panorama of the "Great
Southwest before the admiring gaze
of the public in its true light. He has
carried the story further than Rich
mond where the Others were wont to
tell it, and leave 1t. He has gotten 1t
across the Potomac and whispered it
into the ears of the Chief Executive OF
the nation. AS all roads led to Rome,
90 must all official positions go to the
Southwest. The U. S. Marshal for the
Western District of Va. must be ap-
pointed from that quarter, and OF
course the office itself must be reInov-
ed to that fitting and congenlal cline

NOT A "CRUM" BUT THE WHOLE
LOAF,

DIR. Crum has at last been confirmed |
by the Senate as Collector of the port
at Charleston, 8. G. He has been given |
the incest slice off the Republican
roast In that State. This has been a
long drawn out fight. Mr.. Roosevelt
made the worst break in this appoint
ment he has made during his admins
tration. The celebrated dinner with
Booker Washington was not half as
bad, the postoffice row at Indianola,
Miss, was small when compared with
DR.. Crum's elevation. In the first
place the Office is not one which any
ordinary man can t1ll, much less
rather ordinary negro. 1t is one OF
the most important offices in the State.
Nearly everybody doing business
through it is white and comes in direct
contact with DIR. Crum. Republicans
disliked the mix, but their hands were
tied and their mouths sewed up, but
Democrats made an open kick. The
President, however, had said the word
and like the laws of the Modes and
Persians, there was no changing him
when he had once announced his pur.
pose. Andrew Jackson, we believe it
was, who said BE sure you're rig hit
and then 60 ahead" Jackson had a
qualification which was an urerring
guide "Be sure you're right" If Mr..
Roosevelt would only be sure before
he butts into many things he would
save the nation many attacks of nery-
business. He acts just the opposite
way from "Old Hickory Mr.. Roose-
welt goes ahead and don't care a darn
whether he is right or wrong, making
might" force thing TO be right and
thereby causes trouble. Nobody OBJ
jects to his appointment of negroes to
offices they can fill satisfactorily. Ii
the government wants negro postmas
tiers in negro settlements by all means
give them to it, but in white settle
ments there is no good to be subserved
by their appointment and much harm
might be caused. A decent New York
town would object to some scurvl
bum of a white man being appointed
to an important position, though b
might conduct the office well. Such 1
community would kick as Justify owe
the appointment of negro. evel
though the whites might all be Re
publicans, as any Southern communi
ty. When negroes are appointed il
Southern States to positions like tina
DIR. Crum has just been made to fill
the belief is unavoidable that they ar
appointed for no good or high pul
pose, but really to humilate the whit
people. This Crum incident ought t
be a lesson to Mr.. Roosevelt and teac
him how to handle the race probler
better than any other one he has Learn
ed. teach him to avoid intentional il
suit to the white people of commun
~, and make his appointments in
way calculated to improve the service

FAREWELL TO TIE FLAG.

There is some chagrin amongst
MARYLAND Confederates, especially
survivors Of the 1st Maryland cavalry,
over an effort there is being made TO
move their battle flag from the Con-
federate Soldiers home to the capltai
at Annapolis. 1t seems that when
Gen. 7. T. Munford disbanded on the
goth of April, 1855, his being one or
the last commands to disband, this
hattie flag was in the hands OF Col.
Gus. Dorsey, the gallant commander
of the 1st Maryland. He put it away
where it was safe. and years after
when a Confederate Soldiers home
had been erected in Maryland gave
the flag to that home, and since thaf
time il has decorated the home ,anC
draned the bier of each of the soldiers
who died there. Now comes the story
that it is to be taken to Annapolis ant
hung in some obscure corner. Blu
what seems to gall most is that ther
were Maryland regiments III vi

Iaaaart Stands With Bryan

VIM. j. Bryan, National Chairman
Taggart, John W. Kern and others,
the policies of the future were discuss
ed, and MI. Taggart, it is said. gave
his allegiance to Mr.. Bryan, and ad'
mitted that the recent campaign had
been a failure because the party had
trusted to the influence of the rich
rather than to the votes of the people
as whole.
He is said to have agreed with MI
Bryan also that the next campaign, II
the Democrats hoped to win, must be
conducted in favor of the reforms Mr
BRYAN advocats, even at the risk o.
driving away those who fought thu
hardest in 1896 and returned when MT

of liquor. 1t comes to the conclusion
that prohibition is failure and license

more attractive than bar rooms. and
in this way hopes to control an evil
which it has been unable to control
otherwise. The total abstinence peo-
