A Great Snap.

Every once in a while some
cheerful individual remarks to us:
well, now that the paper is out
you can take it easy for three or
four days" and we are reminded
of what another country editor
once said. Yes, how delightful
it is that a country editor has
practically nothing to do be-
tween press days. Business runs
along automatically. When pa
per bills become due money drops
off the trees with which to pay
them. Subscribers vie with each
other to see who can pay the
fartherest in advance. Adver-
tisers beg for additional space.
And the way the news hunts up
the editor is also pleasant to con-
template. There is something
really peculiar about the way
news items act. When the paper
is out the editor simply goes to
his desk and leans back In his
easy chair and looks wise and
waits for the next weeks press
day. The day before press day
the people line up in front of the
Office door and then they file past
the desk and tell him all the
news of the week. He writes it
up in fifteen or twenty minutes,
takes it back and hangs it on the
copy hook. The compositors
take the copy, shake 1t over the
type cases, say a few mystic
words, the type flies into place
and after few passes by the
foreman the forms are ready for
the press again. And the editor
goes down and deposits some
more money in the bank. It's
the greatest snap in the cata-
logue.

Bryan is back aud has made
his speech. lis reception was
certainly most remarkable one
though every effort had been
made by the democrats to make
it an enthusiastic one-and give
it every appearance of spontan-
city. The address is an able one
especially from democratic
point of view. The subjects are
we'll treated and it will uudoubt-
edly be the keynote of the demo-
cratic campaign. His remarks
also give evidence to the fact
that John Sharp Williams, of
Mississippi, succeeded in seeing
him before he sailed from Europe,
and succeeded in impressing upon
him the fact that if he intended
10 again be candidate for presi-
dent he must modify his views on
the subject of the ownership of
the railroads provided he desired
the support of the people of the
southern states. He made the
desired modification--which
shows that Bryan can learn-and
declared, that while he favored
municipal ownership, he believed
federal government should only
control the trunk lines and the
other systems should be owned
and operated by the states. This
will save the south from the
nightmare which the people OF
that section have had for some
time that government ownership
might mean the adjustment of
separate cars for the whites and
the colored people. The fact
that Bryan made this change in
his views is also an evidence-if
any were needed-that he intends
to again be a candidate for the
position of chief executive-if it
Is possible to secure the demo-
cratic nomination--provided
Teddy adheres to his decision to
not be candidate. If, however,
Roosevelt is forced to accept a
nomination, Mr.. Bryan will not
be anxious to sacrifice himself
for the third time.

A Stir in Music Circles.

Music lovers of this city are
much interested in the success of
"Azaleas," new two-step Inter-
mezzo that is being played by
bands and orchestras all over the
country.
"Azaleas" is popular in form,
but unlikeimost popular" pieces,
is really musical
"Azaleas" is one of the new
Lyon & Healy publications and
we predict that it will not be
long until every piano is decorted
with a copy.

The active political campo ign
III the state will probably not
last more than four or five weeks.
The republican administration
which stands before the people
for endorsement, stands for clean,
business methods, fair dealing,
the proper discharge of official
duties in all departments, for
economy without parsimony, de-
cency without hypocracy and a
proper and conscientious dis
charge of responsibilities to the
people of the state 1t is to be
desired that the campaign in the
state shall be fairly and decently
conducted by all political parties,
that the right of candidacy for
Office shall be accorded every
man, and that the same good
faith shall be observed between
political opponents as should be
observed in every fair and square
rivalry. The fair-minded and
unprecedented voter who examines
the record of the state admins
tration will admit that the affairs
of the state have been honestly
and creditably conducted and
that there is no reason why any
republican should hesitate to cast
his ballot for the nominees on
the republican ticket. The
candidates are the choice of a
large majority of the delegates
selected by the republicans OF
the state and entitled to the
support of all republicans. Ant
there is no good reason why they
should not receive it. The RE
PUBLICAN believes they will ant
that the ticket will be elected b,
a larger majority than that o
two years ago.

BATTLESHIP RAMMED
THE Liner MONROE PUTS THE
VIRGINIA TO The BAD.
sattIeship's Steering Gear Is Derana-
ed. Causing the Accident-None
Hurt-Both Ships safe-The Vlr.
olnia viii Soon Be Repaired-Is
Raked on the Starboard Quarter.

Norfolk, Va, Nov. 4.-The battle
shin Virginia was rammed Saturday in
Hampton Roads by the Old Dominion
liner Monroe. Both vessels came af-
forwards to this port.
The Monroe, inward bound from
New York, landed her passengers at
her pier, while the battleship, follow
ing shortly under her own steam, pro-
ceeded to the Norfolk navy yard.
The Virginia sailed from Old Point
about 8 o'clock bound for Norfolk.
Shortly afterwards the Monroe came
in, following the battleship through
Hampton Roads. Off Seawall's point
the Virginia slowed down and the
Monroe Immediately rang down.
The Virginia's steering gear seemed
to become deranged and she steered
out of her course. The Monroe could
not stop nor change her course in time
and struck the battleship on the after
part of her armor belt and raked her
starboard quarter. One set of the bat
tleship's davits were turned inboard.
while two of the six inch and one of
the three inch after guns were raked
and otherwise materially damaged.
The Monroe sustained a bad twist of
her steel prov and the damage to her
may prove more serious than is now
apparent. A survey will be made of
both vessels.
There were many immigrants aboard
the Monroe, and when the ships
crashed the women set up a loud out
cry. They were soon Gained.
1t is stated that the battleship had
no pilot aboard at the time of the col
lision. The Old Dominion officers state
that the Monroe is not badly damaged.
1t is stated at the navy department
that the accident to the Virginia will
not delay the department in making
use of the vessel, as she had just been
ordered to the Norfolk navy yard to
be laid up for two months to make
necessary changes in her ordnance
outfit.
