Presidential Timber.

While not advocating any particular
candidate for President on the Demo-
cratic ticket next year, we feel that
too much has been said about there
not being the proper presidential tim
Der in the party.
John A. Johnson now serving his
second term as Democratic Governor
Of Republican Minnesota, strikes US as
being of the right calibre. He is a
man who rose from the humblest
station by his own indomitable grit
and unusual ability. From the time
he was fifteen years Of age he support
ed his mother and several younger
brothers and sisters. At the same
time he put in his spare time in study.
When quite young man he became
the editor Of a paper in his home town,
which brought him into prominence
as a forcible and able writer. He was
later sent to the State Legislature 10y
the Democrats where ne made rep
utation as a statesman and in 1904 he
was Democratic candidate for Cover
MOI being elected over his Republican
competitor by a plurality Of some 5OO'
votes whilst the rest Of the Democratic
State ticket was defeated and ROOse
Welt carried the State at the same time
by tremendous plurality. TIVE
years later when he was again a can
didate he was reelected by 200
plurality.
He is a man beloved in his old hom'
town and there can be no stronger
testimony as to what man really il
than the evidence Of those who know
him best.
He is true to the Democrat princi
pies of tariff for revenue only, tie
curbing Of monopolies and govern
ment by the people. Being a man
from neither the North nor the Soutl
but from the middle Northwest
there should be little difficulty in unit
ing on him and he would carry not
only his own Stale but very probably
Indiana and Illinois.

consuming. And yet the government
by an iniquitous tariff law makes
millionaires Of the one class while IL
imposes a burdensome handicap upon

Isitnot time that the farmers were
realizing their power to make laws as

tutions as easily as they can improve
the condition of their soil?
The strong men who are making

We will rely upon our representa-
tives in the legislature to secure an
appropriation Of 100000 for the State
Normal and see to it that the jim

up-to-date science hall and the build
ings are yet to be finished. The one

Whatever other effects the panic may
have. il has at least dealt death-blow
to the tariff superstition. Perhaps In
no other way could we have got rid Of
it. Hereafter, any man who uses the
argument that you must not demand
the abolition Of tariff Outrages, since,
if you do, you will impeIil prosperity,
will be laughed at. The way is at last
open to attack the question Of protec-
tive duties in statesmanlike fashion,
without having to face the abuse and
prejudice and idOlatrous ignorance
which have for years made it difficult
to deal with the tariff like rational
men.-N. Y. Evening Post.
Just so. Thinking men know that
the unjust and iniquitous tariff is the
parent Of our financial woes. Roose-
welt a Republican, fighting trusts, and
indicating the DINGHY tariff, is a c)los-
sal farce.

NORFOLK AS HOST.

The man who says that Norfolk
generally was guilty Of extortion dur
ing the exhibition must have fallen
into the hands of sharpers. Our ex-
perience there, and it wasn't confined
to a single hotel or to one visit, was
that prices had not been raised over
the level Of pre- exhibition days. As
i'm all cities and at all times 1t was
easy to buy fine things for which fine
prices had to be raid, but comforts and
even luxuries could be had all during
the exhibition, and at reasonable fig
ures.

pRAlslNG THE PRINCE EDWARD

We notice that the Richmond Tines
oi-natch has made editorial common
dst'on Of the honesty Of "a Prince Ed
,ysrj negro. Albert Redd. 1t seems

el bv mistake. and ON finding that IL

..tv. But our contemporary should
NOT measure the Prince Edward stand
ard of negro 10y the Richmond brand
Honest negroes are so common I'D TINS
county that they arouse no comen'
except from quarters where this class
is rare.
A Prince Edward negro has noequal
among his kind in the State for his
honesty. His courtesy and gentle
ness OF manner as compared with the
Richmond output are as sunlight COM
pared with darkness. 1t is true that
he sometimes keeps articles that he
fnds. but I'M his innocence he does THIS
only to reward his honesty, thereby
anticipating the reward he would gel
from the original owner. In this he
shows a childlike innocence and
cuilele,sne,s that is touching, although
not altogether regular among gently
bred people.
We realize that in making these
observations. we may ar use that
malignant jealousy that the Times
Dispatch exhibits whenever anything
or anybody is classed above the Rich
mond product. Our greeneyed con-
temporarv may retort that we have
hanged four negroes iu this county in
three years and that a fifth is now
awaiting the rope. But this apparent
lv bad record cannot be charged
,gainst Prince Edward. Three Ofthe,e
rocroes wer~ from elsewhere; they
came here with bad records and
through the vigilance of the best coun-
Nv officers i'm the State, were caught
and HANGED fate they deserved be-
fore they attempted to pollute the
innocent and sacred soil of old Prince
Edward. The fourth negro was a
native. but it was brought out in the
testimony that he had come into col
usion with whiskey so mean that 1t
could not have come from anywhere
else except Richmond. This negro
should have been excused, but the
iurv thought that even a negro ought
to have better sense than to tampeI
with Richmond whiskey, especially
when the best, most insinuating and
most delightful and harmless brands
are sold at reasonable rates in the
Farmyille Disrensary.
As for the fifth negro, who is now
unwillingly awaiting his hanging, he
went North, stayed there long enough
TO get tainted with meanness and came
back to this county Of good soil, good
people, and glorious sunsets with
enough Of il to turn Prince Edward
from am Eden into the wilds Of Hen
IicO.
Honesty and gentleness and courtesy
are as thick among all classes in Prince
Edward as blackberries in a Negro
graveyard. The fact that one Of oul
old hams was recently taken does moi
hurt the statement. Anybody thai
wouldn't take a Prince Edward han
along with him when opportunity
offered would be fit for a lunati'

CONSUMERS AND PRODUCERS.

That was an excellent article which
appeared in a recent issue Of the
Washington Herald, from the pen OF
Frederick j. Haskins, as all the arti-
Giles from the same pen are, on the
subject Of Improving Agriculture, -
in which he draws sharp contrast be
tween the work of mil ers, oil drillers.
timber cutters and others i'm similar
calling and thatOffarmers. He states
with startling emphasis, that at the
present rate Of consumption the coal
supply of the country will be exhaust
ed in seventy-Gve years, that the nat
ural gas will not last for generation,
that the artesian wells are losing their
force and that the timber will be con-
summed within a quarter Of a century.
Turning to the work Of our farmers he
says with good hope and cheer:
But there is today one great conserv-
ing fOrce-the farm. While every 9th
eriudlstry is tearing down, the farm
or is building up. While others are
rubbing the soil of its treasures, he Is

Gent cultivation, scientific treatment,
