The Poll Tax.

To abolish the payment of the poll tax
as prerequisite to voting would be n
public misfortune. 1t would throw down
the bars to negroes and bummcrs, and
demoralize the suffrage. In the name OF
common sense, what is the occasion for
such change? We have purged the suf-
frage and by requiring poll taxes 10 be
paid six months. in advance we have
eliminated large number OF objection
able voters of both races. The negro is
no longer factor and the shiftees
whites. who used the voting privilege for
what they could get out of 1t, no longer
hang around the polls waiting for bids,
AS a consequence we have the best cleo
torate the state has had since the war,
and it would be reckless to change the
plan under which this reform has been
accomplished.
Where Is the hardship? The poll tax
for 1895. for example. is not considered
due until November, If paid during that
month. when other taxes are due, the
voter will be qualified to vote in any regu-
lar election to be heldin 1897. The same
rule win hold good in other years to
come. 1t IS only $3.50 year. and two
thirds OF the amount goes to the support
of the public schools. the residue going
to the support of government in the
counties and cities where collected. The
man who is unwilling to pay such tax
for the privilege OF voting is not a de-
sirable voter, and the state is better of
without his vote than with il.
The attempt to change this provision
of the Constitution is play to the worst
element in the State. and we hope mat
the Legislature will rebuke It in no
uncertain way.

The Old Bell Tower.

Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir-lt would be strange indeed If Vir-
Democrats, should order the destruction of
building which may fairly be considered
a memorial of the founding of true De-
mocracy in this country.
The old bell tower, succeeding an earlier
one and a range of barracks on the same
site, is the last survival of. an institution
which was horn during the desperate
struggles between Federalists and Re
pubieans at the close of the eighteenth
century.
The centralzng theories of the Federal
party. as illustrated in the alien and
sedition laws. gave great alarm to ali
publicans, as the Democratic party was
then called, not only deemed it necessa-
ry TO give emphatic announcement of
their beliefs. in Virginia resolution of
strenuous measures for the defence of
the liberties of the State and the peo-
Pile.
As it was thought that it might be nee
ures of the Federal party by force of
arms, the State of Virginia took elaborate
measures for this purpose. Quantities of
arms were purchased, an armory was

We're at the earlier bell house and bar
racks, which have been mentioned.
Fortunately for the country, the party
which had procured the means for armed
defense had no occasion to make use of
them. Their victory in the succeeding
presidential election and the crushing de-
feat of the Federal party dissipated for
many years the fears of violent Federal
aggression. With the election of Jefferson
began the era of real democracy in the
United States. The old building now
standing in the square is truly memo
rial of a most critical time and of men
who rendered great service to their coun-
try. AS such ii should at least be sacred
