erful opponent kept upon its. good be-
havior. The democratic ticket this year
will be all the more praiseworthy in its
personnel by reason of the energy adver-
tised by the republicans.
This same duty presents itself in several
other southern states. There. as in Vir-
ginia. the republicans have long neglected
to put forth their best efforts. Their ac-
tivity has been intermittent until at times
scarcely the semblance of a party organi-
cation remained. The excuse has been that
it was useless to play against loaded dice.
Why spend money on campaign and drum
up votes when the election laws were such
as to discourage all hope of success?
Still the proper thing to do is to keep on
trying. Put up candidates, the very best
obtairable. and go before the voters on
latforms thst mean something and can be

The South and the Railroads.

In letter from Lincoln, giving an ac-
count of Mr.. Bryan's program for control
ling the next democratic national conven-
ton, appears this paragraph:
Especial attention is being paid to the
south, where Col Bryan was most dis
appointed last year. 1t is in the south that
he has had his largest and most enthus-
aStic audiences. He believes that If he can
bind the rank and file to him he can win
back the greater part of a strength that
was practically solid in joining hands with
the east at st. Louis
If Mr.. Bryan adheres to his present plat
form he may find it necessary to pay good
deal of attention to the south. Government
ownership of railroads is certain to en-
counter serious opposition in that section.
to the development of which, during the
past twenty years particularly, railroads
have contributed SO much. Moreover, those
railroads represent an eastern influence;
and not until New York is converted to
Mr. Bryans new issue will it be an easy
matter for him to convert the south to it.
He will discover that he has tough propo-
sition on hand.
The south supported Mr.. Bryan in 1896
for two reasons In the first place he was
the democratic nominee-which alone would
have been sufficient to secure her support
and in the second place she had long been
an ardent advocate of the free coinage of
silver. He was representing an issue to
which in Congress and elsewhere she had
repeatedly given her votes. In 1900 there
was no contest. Mr.. Bryan taking the nomi-
nation by unanimous consent. Last year
Mr.. Bryan was not, by his own choice a
candidate. The south supported Judge Par
ker at St Louis because it had been repre-
scented to her that on a conservative plat
form he could win.
Bryan will be making his first campaign
in the south for instructed votes and
on an issue new to the south. He has vet
to try his eloduence there against oppo-
sition. He has never converted the south
to anything. Her views on silver and a
low tariff long antedated his own. and
were formed by men of her own rearing
and in her own commission. But when
lie canvasseS down there for governme mt
ownership of railroads, and all that this
tralization, he will encounter directed
from New York, a very strong power
working against his scheme.
If he wins elsewhere, and is nominated
again in 1908. the south, as before win
be easy ground for him. She is for the
democratic nominee every time, and ON
any platform the party in national COM
NeutiOn may choose to write That is
reasonably certain.

Earthquakes and Volcanoes.

The great Indian earthquake of a short
time ago. which caused the loss of many
lives. seems to have been a warning of
another CONFUSION within the earth's crust
similar to that which caused such a ter
rife cataclysm in the West Indies three
years ago and was accompanied by other
manifestations at various points on the
earth's surface. Now comes word that

Soufriere on the island of st. Vincent has

perhaps with tragic results.
