WARD WAIL1NGs AGAIN.

With each recurrent budget comes
the howl from various wards that logs
have been rolled and triggers set to
street funds along some plan which had
not been thoroughly agreed upon by
all the members. The wonder Is that
the roar Of disapproval does not go up
oftener and from more threats than
those Of the disgruntled members Of
the Council. If the citizens would only
stop to think, every one is interested
in this problem, and the best interest
ward system Is definitely abandoned.
The amount of money that has been
wasted through the ward system in the
past is very great, and unfortunately
can never be recovered, but at least
the city of Richmond can learn by err
rors of other days, and can do away
with conditions which have proved
obsolete. The ward system must go,
and when 1t does this city will be at
least In the way of receiving better
administration OF Its resources than is
possible at present. The only way to
satisfactorily administer the funds
available for streets Of this city Is to
have definite plan prepared by the
City Engineers Department. and then
turn over to that department all avail
able funds for this purpose. There has
been entirely too much in the past of
curbing, guttering and paving at odd
spots for the benefit of individuals and
without reference TO the best welfare
of the city as a whole

No Anarchy In Virginia.

Virginia cannot afford to wink at
anarchy. She has ever been the home
of Godfearing. law-abiding people who
know how to right their wrongs and
protect themselves without resort to
the methods of the incendiary and the
assassin.
The first raid by night-riders in Vir-
ginia should be sufficient reason for
the mailed fist of the government to
be brought down with crushing force
upon the outlaws who would enforce
mandates of their own making upon
free citizens of Virginia by threats and
violence.
Conspiracy of the kind embodied in
the whole diabolical idea of might
riding" should be punished with the
utmost severity allowed under the laws
for the protection of peaceful men and
women who mind their own affairs and
90 not attempt to regulate those of
their ighbors.-Portsmout Star.

Call Out Militia.

The tobacco trust is no doubt as
black as it has been painted but this
does not justify the tobacco planters in
making war on the trust. They may
but even this is not good policy. for.
to use the language of we'll known
American, the devil does not have to
buy his coal from the coal trust. We
believe in peace at all times, and there
should be some effort made to get the
warning factions together and thus
bring to an end the work of the night
riders. the anarchists and the mid
might assassins. If lawlessness is to
prevail in the country, then the life of
no man is safe, and surely the people
of Virginia are averse to condition
like this prevailing in their midst. If
an we hn llne thst Is sssep,

Give Them the Cold Lead.

There have been some written

the kind to happen in Virginia, but

BRYAN AND DANIEL
Comments Of Virginia Press on Dan
iel as Delegate at Large.
Dnnicl for President.

DnulCI ZOE pTcsIuCuSs
Former State Senator A. r. Thomas,
of Lynchburg. In an interview states
that the Bryan advocates in Virginia
will make a fight to prevent the cleo
ton Of Senator John ". Daniel as
delegate to the National Democratic
Convention.
And SO, because Major John w.
Daniel differs from the peerless and
tho matchess" Bryan, he Is doomed.
The partisans of the sccond-dcfeated
are organizing to defeat Daniel as one
of Virgina's delegates to the Denver
convention. Virginia's gifted and great
Senator 1t seems. is to be denied adj
mission to the National Democratic
Convention because he has the au-
dacity to refuse to bow down and wor-
ship the great Ncbraskan. The tyran.-
no interference. and Will not tolerate
any opposition from Daniel. But Danlel
has not been defeated yet, not yet.
Daniel. who imperiled his life for Nir-
ginia; Daniel. who barred his breast
to the storm of shot and shell for
Virginia and the South: Daniel, who
was shot down In tho forefront OF the
battle; Daniel, the ex-Confederate SOL
resenting, in part, his beloved Virginia
in the National Democratic Convention
because forsooth, he will not blindly
follow the great orator, Bryan. AS a
protest to this we suggest that when
Nirginias convention shall be held II
shall send delegation to Denver un-
instructed. but bearing with them reso-
lutions of Virginias Democracy that
Daniel is Nirginia's choice for nomi-
nation for President, and that Virginia
Is proud of this, her son; proud of his
services to her In peace and in war. and
declares him worthy Of filling the high
honors in the gift of this republic

Attempt to Humll,nte Major Daniel.

We hope and believe an effcctual
lesson Will be taught those who are
trying to ostracize Major Daniel and
prevent his going as one of the four
delegates at large to the National DEM
ocratic Convention, simply because, ex-
ercising his right of manhood and free
speech. he has declared his opposition
to government ownership of railroads
and some other of Colonel Bryan's doc
trines, never embodied in Democratic
PLATFORM. Most men admire the man
who has the courage OF his convictions.
Major Daniel has frankly but politely
expressed his disagreement with Colo
mel Bryan. while great many other
Democrats who feel just as he does
nave lodged. Has the time come in
Virginia when a Democrat Is to be
punished for daring to have opinions
Of his own and to give utterance to
them?
If those who are talking this way
arouse the ire of Major Daniels friends
throughout the State. there will likely
be discovered a lot of boomerangs that
nobody had thought were in the air.
The man who attempts to cast a slur
on Major Daniel in Virginia under
takes a, large contract.-Staunton Dis

The Immortal.

Since my soul and I are friends,
i so laughing On my road;
Whether up or down it wends,
I have never felt my load.
For the winds keep tryst with me,
And the stars share in my Joy;
Meadow, Hill or sky or sea,
/ create and destroy.
Hope or fear or bliss or woe
Fits shadow on the sod:
Life and Death perpetual flow,
Underneath them I am God.
Smaller than the smallest part.
Larger than the moving whole;
One in the divided heart
And the Universal Soul.
Neither curse nor creed know,
Doubts that darken. faiths that shine;
Time and space are empty show,
All that ever was is mine.
Silent, deathless. centred fast.
Ancient. uncreated, free,
came not to birth at last,
Universes are of me.

AND
COMMERCE
Wall Street.

New York. Sept. 1.-The firm IN
dertone of the market again today
was undoubtedly attributable to the
sympathetic effect Of the strength in
the Hartman stocks. southern Pa
cific was the conspicuous feature of
the day as on many days past, the
movement was preceptible to a great
81 or less extent in stocks of all prop
critics with which the Hartman name
is CONNECTED as a supposed dominant
or controlling force. This brought in
Illinois Central and Erie as well as
Union Pacific. Southern Pacific pro-
ceeded on its way to new record
levels, crossing los during the day.
Whatever realizing sales were brought
out by the rise were absorbed with
an aggressive determination that had
an impressive effect on speculative
sentiment toward the whole market.
The movements elsewhere were not
notable and the volume of the market.
outside OF these restricted lines was
not large. Rumor continued busy
with supposed projects for neN fnanc-
ing Of Southern Pacific looking to the
retirement of the preferred stock.
4 llfot Univ - oit -
official quarters. where the persistent
rise in the shares of those properties
are preferably attributed to improv-
ing business conditions and confidence
in their continuance. Such improve
ment was not strikingly reflected in
any news Of the day and news items
were regarded as evidence of the slow
ness of the betterment. Such was
the statement Of earnings of the
Pennsylvania system for July, The
drastic cut of $4,000, 700 in the operat-
ing expenses effected for that single
month fell SS17.3OO short of the
noun of the falling off in gross
earnings which thus measured the de
crease in net return for the Ii46nth.
The lines west of Pittsburg and Eric
also showed a decrease Of $S11,50O in
the net compared with last year, not
withstand'ng a retreaChment of ST.
402. 500 in the operating cost. Such a
showing is not encouraging for the
belief in effective reCuperation up to
that time in the varied traffic of that
extensive system. The weather bu-
reau's weekly bulletin confirmed the
view of needed elements in the
weather factors at work on bOth the
cotton ana corn crops. The market
had a period of declined heaviness at
the outset, during which selling or
ders were said to come from both
western warehouses and from foreign
quarters. The profit sales were re
sumed at different times, so that the
sustaining influence of the Hartman
stocks was partly ncutralized. The
large absorptions of bonds is a fea-
ture of the preset situation, which is
not surprising in view OF the redund-
ant state of the money market,
In connection with this active mar
ket for mortgage securities it is re-
ported as significant that new incor-
porations for a million dollars and
upward of share capital fell to a low
er total for August than for any other
money since the area of large cor
porations opened. The days oppos-
ing movements balanced each other so
far as to leave the net results small
