The military court which has been
trying General Stoessel. at ST. Peters
burg, for the surrender of Port Arthur,
has found him guilty and sentenced him
to death. The court, however, recon-
mended that the death sentence be COM

fortress and that he be excluded from
the service. The civilized world will
condemn the finding of the court.

the individual to fanatical attempt to
accomplish the impossible legislate
men, not into temperance and modera-
ton, but into total abstinence.
Neither DO we fancy the unholy al
lance by which it is attempted to force
this and other things upon us. We re-
spect the temperance movement while
kept within reasonable bounds. We
also recognize the utility and necessity
of politics and political organization in
government such as ours; but just at
present we have too much temperance
in our politics, and too much politics in
our temperance.
The tyranny of any majority-is bad;
but the tyranny of a majority COM
pounded of such a coalition is intoler-
able.
at cannot fail to result in a maxi
mum of intermeddling with private
rights, and minimum performance of
public duties. The one is apt to be sac
rifced to the interest of the cause"
and the other to the interest of the or
ganization.
1T is time to call halt"
There is much good sense and an
abundance of truth in this editorial.
1t is true that the ultra temperance ad-
vocates are not as consistent as they
should be. They pretend that the Anti
Saloon organization will have nothing
to do with politics, but the leaders of
the movement have made themselves
more conspicuous in politics during the
past three years than any set of men
in the State. In the last Democratic
Gubernatorial primary they arrayed
themselves solidly behind Judge Mann,
who is VIGOROUSLY one of the most
tricky and self-seeking politicians in
Virginia. In that campaign Claude A.
Swanson was supported almost solidly
by the liquor men; and it was charged
IN the public prints, and never denied,
that very considerable part of his
campaign fund was contributed by the
whiskey dealers. After Swanson was
nominated DIR. Cannon became as ar
dent supporter of Swanson as he had
formerly been of Mann.
Recently the political machine, of
which Governor Swanson is one of the
chief cogs, became aroused to the fact
that a great temperance wave was
sweeping over the State. A meeting
of the faithful was held, and it was de-
termined to make an alliance with the
prohibitionists, with Judge Mann as the
candidate of this combination for Gov
ernor of Virginia. The Machine wants
to beat the Hon. H. C. Stuart for the
Democratic nomination for Governor
next year. Swanson, Flood, Rhea anC
others of that ilk have entered into thi.
combination. The Journal is right il
calling it IAN unholy alliance" 1t viii

temperance cause; and the Anti-Salool
leaders will do their organization n,
credit by becoming a party thereto.

The NEW CONSTITUTION.

Under the heading: The Legisla-
tIre Should Remain" the Richmond
Journal gives somes hard raps to the
present Constitution of this State. 1t
says, in part:
The trainers of the present Consti-
tuition of Virginia were interpenetrated
by rooted distrust of the people, from
fall of gavel to sine die. Their one
aim appeared to be the cramping of the
feet in binding cloths, so that the
masses must needs walk only in the
ways blazed by the superior wisdom of
a hundred worthy gentlemen, them
selves fresh from the hands of the pop
ular potter. 1t seemed to be forgotten
that a Constitution is a fundamental
law or skeleton of government, best
when least amplified.

'It all proceeded from a distinct lack
of confidence in the capacity for self
government of Virginians. The crown
ing proof of this was exhibited when
the completed document was proclaim
ed instead of being submitted to the
electorate, as had been promised"
In the course of its remarks the
Journal severely assails the Constitu-
ton, because it undertakes to perma-
nently legislate for the people, and
says:
Indeed, our Constitution is not a
Constitution in the technical sense,
but is minute as well as general legis-
lation embodied in permanent form"

rect in its estimate of the character
and quality of this new Constitution
which was foisted upon the people by
trickery and the most outrageous de-
SCPlAOh. DuI Tic OOuTIldl Is wrong In
its conclusion that the partisan hotch-
potch, improperly called Constitution,
was brought into existence because its
trainers believed the people of Virginia
were not capable of self-government.
The cause of the outrage was purely
partisan. The whole object of calling a
convention and making a new Constitu-
ton was to make the State permanent
ly Democratic. 1t was evident to the
machine politicians that the great white
districts of the State were surely drift
ing into the Republican column. And,
under the pretext of getting rid of the
negro as voter and of stopping frauds
upon the ballot, it was resolved to not
only destroy the negro electorate but to
reduce the white electorate to mini
mum. The further precaution was also
taken to deprive the reduced white

Russia and Turkey.
New York WORLDLY

1t is a long way back to the time
when Russia and Turkey supplied
the news for the European cables.
We make history quickly now, and
squabbles between the Russian and the
Turk seem like old times. There are
critics who suggest that Russia is play
ing the new role of peacemaker. That
has yet to be proved.
Turkey has shown indications of de-
signs upon Persia, that toothsome bone
of contention so many times mauled
that one wondered what spoils could be
left for an Anglo-Russian agreement.
Persia occupies unique place geogra-
phically in Asia, and for her an unhap-
py one. She is the rich terminus of the
desert route overland from the Black
Sea and Asia Minor; she is close to
Afghanistan and the dangerous borders
OF India, and her situation makes her n
pleasant stepping stone for Russia's
southwark march. That march did be-
long to other days, indeed-the DAYS
when Russia possessed a Baltic fleet
and a Port Arthur, in addition to an
army of supposed efficiency.
Russia resents Turkish designs upon
Persia and is essaying the role of pro-
tector. The Turk is not likely to be
bluffed as of yore. True, the Sultan
generally played the game to the limit
and backed down only at the last mo-
ment. But he backed down. Condi-
lions are different today. The Turk has
seen Russia beaten by an Eastern pow
er and has seen her resources crippled.
