feasible al the present tlme, L recommend
the extension Of the ocean mail act of
1891. That act has stood for some years
free from successful criticism of it's prn-
ciple and purpose. 1t was based on theo-
ries of the obligations of a great mari
time nation, undisputed in our own land
and followed by other nations since the
beginning of steam navigation. Briefly
those theories are, that it is the duty of
a f1rst.class power SO far as practicable
to carry its ocean mails under it's own
flag; that the fast ocean steamships and
their crews, required for such mail serv-
ice, are valuable auxiliaries to the sea
power of a nation. Furthermore, the
construction of such steamships insures
the maintenance in an efficient condition
of the shipyards in which our battleships
must be built
the performance of such necessary func-
tons of government is certainly war
ranted, nor is it necessary to dwell upon
the incidental benefits to our foreign
commerce, to the shipbuilding industry,
and to ship owning and navigation which
will accompany the discharge of these
urgent public duties, though they, too.

With an appetite whetted for further
adventure, Captain Boynton busted
himself for another four years with

public and then hurried to Cuba to

with the ingratitude of his allies, he
left the island to join In the Franco

the Spanish Pretender, followed that
emperor with few campaigns against
the Turks In the Balkans, and then re-

The lawlessness at Pine Beach near
the Jamestown Exposition grounds
was roundly rebuked some days ago
by the Norfolk Landmark; and as
we say in an editorial on the first
page Of this issue, the press of Vir-
ginia generally will do it's part in
urging the suppression of all kinds
of disorder there. The Landmark
we'll says that the violators of the
law at Pine Beach, on Sunday or any
other day of the week, need not ex-
pect to have it easy their way. The
pride of the Virginia people and
their high ideal of right, of law and
order, will see to it that such things
do not continue.

PROBATION AGAINST DISEASE.

No more important matter can
engage the attention of persons liv=
ing in towns, and people in the
country as well, than the proper
cleaning of premises. This is the
season Of the year when cleanliness
of premises should occupy a large
place in the care Of municipal officers
and private individuals. With the
exceedingly wet, cool spring, follow
ed by sudden change to extremely
warm weather, the conditions for
diseases of various kinds are quite
favorable. Already news comes
from different parts of the State
that typhoid fever is becoming
prevalent, and this should suggest
care and attention to these matters
of cleanliness, which will promote
health and prevent disease.
Health officers of towns and cities
should be especially careful, for
little neglect of duty today may
cause death and sorrow and sadness
to many persons tomorrow.
Sometimes for want of proper at
tention to such things d town or
is visited by a scourage
Of disease that blasts its prospects

not care to live in. or move to; a
in which fatal diseases

PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES.

The possibilities and probabilitie
for the nomination for President b,
the Democratic party next year arr
being discussed right freely.
The Washington Post thinks thai
there is no chance for a Southern
man to be chosen by the Democrats
1t says that neither party can vet
name President from the South.
ana does not even suggest when such
a thing will be possible.
Then in some quarters there is
free discussion concerning the
chances between Bryan and Hearst
Both Bryan and Hearst are canGi-
dates for the nomination, whether
they have declared it or not. Tho
Charlotte Observer says that while
Hearst is candidate he doe, not
expect to be elected, but proposes to
defeat Bryan and thus "shoy his
power over the party" Represen-
tative Livingston, of Georgia is
quoted as saying that if we are to elect
Democratic president next wear #
must be man who will draw from
the dissatisfied element of the Re-
publican party.
With Bryan and Hearst both work
ing hard for the nomination thus far
ahead Of time, it would seem rather,
a hopeless chance for those who wait
until all che strings are set by the
advocates of these two men.
But many things can turn IN and
doubtless many things will turn up
during the coming twelve months.
and SO the Democratic party need
not feel sure Of it's allegiance to apv
one man yet. We are inclined to be-
heVe that Representative Livingston
Is right in his conclusion that tho
man to win must be one who is able
TO draw well from the Republican
party.
