London Financiers Alarmed.

London, Nov. 2. - Financiers are
greatly worried over the Russian siIua-
ton and the gravest fears are entertained
that unless quiet is restored soon, a
panic may develop in Paris which would
affect the money markets Of the world.
France is now the largest holder of
South African securities, and if there is
general rush on the part of the French
6nanciers to unload "Kafirs" on the
market, this would knock the bottom
out Of the London exchange and cause a
wave of depreciation to sweep over all
markets, which would necessiIate con-
certed action On the part of the financiers
all over the world to stop.

the many new departures the people are

following:

Black Day For Match Hunt

A "back day" marked the opening
near Upperville yesterday of the Grafton
Middlesex match between American
and English foxhounds, for, on account
of high winds and dry weather and con-
sequent lack of scent, the hounds were
unable to work. For two hours Coles
worth, the huntsmsn Of Mr.. Higgin-
sons Middlesex pack (English), labored
strenuously with his 1871 couple to raise
a fox, but at FIVE minutes to 10 the at
tempt was abandoned and the party OF
SO horsemen and horsewomen who bad
followed patiently began their long jour
ney for home, some II miles away.
Miss Dulany, of Grafton Hall, rode over
a 4-foot bsrbed wire fence in taking an
in-and.out jump across a road. Mr.
Chamberlain, of Boston, fell at a ditch,
and Paul Whiting, of Massachusetts,,
came a cropper over a stone wall. This

THURSDAY EVENING. NOV. 2. 1905

The GENERAL ELECTION in Virginia
takes place next Tuesday, when the suf-
fragans of the Old Dominion will do
what they have done for many years
pas,-roll up large democratic ma
iority. While there is no anxiety
whatever concerning the overwhelming
affirmation of the peoples nomination
last August, there is always a small per-
centsge who suffer from languor at gen.
eral elections. 1t is earnestly hoped
that every democrat will not only con-
slider it his privilege to vote, but that be
will recognize the fact that il is duty
incumbent upon him which he should in
no wise sbirk. The republicans have
nut ticket in the field which was beaten
before it was nominated. They have
endeavored to raise issues, but they have
proven to be flashes in the pan and have
practically influenced no one. The
school question is regarded by them as
the paramount issue, and they pretend
n favor the distribution of "free books.
The bait remains motionless in the
water, as no democratic taxpayer IS
silly enough to even nibble at it. In
the first place the suggestion is imPracti-
cable, as it would be equally Improbable
to any one who contributes towards the
spslentation of the State government.
Should books be distributed to scholars
gratis taxpayers would inevitably be
called upon to pay for the same by hav-
ing their assessments increased. 1t
would merely be robbing Peter to pay
Paul, while the profigate and thriftless
class who pay but small proportion of
taxes. would receive the benefit Of the
expensive hobby; besides, under the
present regime provision is made for every
district in the State to provide books TOR
the deserving poor children. There is
another feature to such an experiment
which should not be forgotten. When
the State gets ready to spend thousands
of dollars in school books, agents will
come to Virginia in clouds and the at
tempts to induce the board OF education
to adopt this or that series will belegion.
There is no telling what inducements
NAV be offered or what means will be
,sorted to in order to receive contracts,
inueudoes are INDUCED in now con-
rning those to whom educational mat
RS are con6ded, there is no telling
.lat aspersions may be justly or nn-
Justly expressed under such regime.
The intelligent voter has no need of
warning; but those who are thoughtless
and who are liable to be led astray
should read both sides before they vote.
