The editor Of the New York Sun,
who has been studying political con-
ditions In Virginia, has reached the
conclusion that the Virginia Democ-
ray will not instruct it's delegates for
William J. Bryan-certainly not with

the way, are Virginia Democrats GER
tain that Mr.. Bryan will be a candl-

Based on the climate at the time,

There isn't q sufficient reason why
there should be mosquitoes in the city
OF Savannah. The city is high above
the river level, its soil is as absorb
ent as blotting paper its drainage is
perfect. and it has plenty of pure
water for all flushing and other pur-
poses deemed necessary There isn't
any reason, then. why we should toll
crate mosquitoes, when we can get rid
of them by exercising just a little
care. If each householder will con-
stitute himself committee of one
to rid his premises of stagnant water,
In even the smallest quantities, and
the city will see that the sewer traps
are flushed or sprinkled with oil as
often as may be required. we shall very
shortly have mosquitoes town, and
doctors bills and funeral expenses will
be ACCOMPLISHMENTS News.
There is no sufficient reason for a
mosquito pest in Richmond. If the
precautions suggested by the Savannah,
News were taken here, there would be
no mosquitoes to make night hideous
Mosquitoes, like weeds, are the crop
OF negligence.

this worlds goods than he was the day
he made his first appearance in the
Senate their hearts go out to him
With a fervor unimpnired and with a
warmth which neither time nor change
will ever moderate. He has but to say
the word and Virginia Democrats will
rally to his standard responsive to an
instant impulse.
Meanwhile there is no ina ginable
danger that Virginia will be led away
after the false gods of socialism. The
State has had its experience OF dab,
Bling with railroad ownership and
bears the burden Of q public debt to-
day by way of grim reminder. Mr..
Bryan made no adherents among INTEL
ligent VirEinianS with his Madison
Square plea for government interfcr-
ence and control. He merely quicken
ed memories of bitterness and sorrow,
convincing them that their sad object
lesson was worth more for wisdom
than all his easy academic oratory.
Even though Mr.. Bryan should sud-
denly eschew his heresies, recant all
bygone mischief and pipe his sweetest
music to the keynote of Virginia's
fondest creeds. he would still be as
nothing In comparison with John W
Daniel, who is loved and honored
throughout the Commonwealth for
what he has done, what he is, and
what he may be counted on to he under
any conceivable conditions. Mr. Bryan
may tickle their ears, but John Daniel
holds their hearts, and the heart still
cuts figure at the south.-New York
Sun.
Any complimentary notice Of John
w. Daniel and any honors that may be
6nc ~.
to be bestowed are appreciated by vir-
gnia and the South. The people Of his
State believe in him and know that
he is worthy Of any honors nation
| can offer, and of his ability the whole
country knows. There is no position
in the gift of the nation that he would
not worthily fill
