Here Is The Divorce Cure.
Baltimore American Star.

Colonel Wardwell, the retired army
officer who died in Tombstone. Ariz.
the other day. left behind him the one
cure for the divorce evil.
A feeble old man dying from cancer in
his California home, he saw the faithful
wife beside him break out with the
most loathsome disease that comes to
human beings, the one sickness that in
stantly turns its victims into exiles from
all other mankind, leprosy. In spirit.
the Colonel quickly dismissed his own
Ills and was as strong a man as when he
hrst put on his uniform. The leprous
wife was no hateful thing to him. She
was no useless and helpless old woman
without charm for his taste. More than
ever, his wife was his sweetheart and
his care. The old soldier gathered his
soul into last gigantic effort to do his
duty to her, and, horrible though her
person must be, he picked her up and
fed. He fought the tumor that was
killing him fast; he battled with the
wits of health officers who tried to stop
them and send her to the colony of lep-
ers in Hawaii-he struggled on to es-
cape separation from her and to prevent
any other hand than his from comfort
ing and providing for her.
Death felled him on the dreary spot.
fttlngly, for him, called Tombstone.
But his last rational words were of her
and his final deed was of care for the
wife who, besides a leper, had then be-
come raving lunatic. Any couple with
go per cent. of the Colonels devotion
will never talk to a lawyer about di-
vorce. Nor will the wife ever be the
lady in the scarlet gown in New York

SHALL THE PEOPLE RULER

This the Roanoke Times says was the
burden of Mr.. Bryan's song in his
speech of acceptance. And it is anus
ing to see how the Democratic newspa-
pers in Virginia are harping on that
song. One would think, from the en-
thusiasm which our Virginia contem-
poraries are exhibiting over this ques-
tion, propounded by Mr.. Bryan, that
the Democracy of this State are thor
oughly welded to the doctrine of a gov
crnment by the people, of the people
and for the people
There is no doubt but that our gov

eminent was established to be a peo-
pies government, ruled by them
through the use of duly elected repre-
sentatives- In other words it was in
tended to be a peoples representative
government. Who will dispute this?
The Virginia Bill of Rights. which has
been embodied in the so-called new con-
stitution of the State, makes these dec
lsrations:
mat all power is vested in, and con-
sequently derived from the people; that
magistrates are their trustees and ser
wants, and at all times amenable to
them.
That all elections ought to be free:
and that all men, having sufficient evil
dence of permanent common interest
with, and attachment to the community
have the right of suffrage, and cannot
be taxed or deprived of, or damaged in.
their property for public uses, without
their own consent, or that of their rep
resentatives duly elected. or bound bv
any law to which they have not in like
manner assented for the public good. /"
How have the Democrats in Virginia
made good these declarations of the
fathers, upon which our republican form
of government was founded and which
our Democratic contemporaries are as
sorting has been violated by others?
The Virginia Democracy have DESTROY
ed representative government in this
State and have deprived the people of the
power which was vested in and derived
from them By most outrageous usur-
patton, body of men calling itself q
constitutional convention robbed the
people Of the source Of power from
which the rule Of the people comes-the
right to vote. With the right to vote
taken away from them, how can the
people rule?
The white population of Virginia of
voting age in 1900 was go, OOO. and pol 900
votes were polled in the presidential cleo
ton of that year. Of those voting more
than 200, 900 were white men. By the
new suffrage laws, fraudulently made
and treacherously proclaimed by Dem
cratic convention, more than one-half
the qualified white voters of the State
have been disfranchised. In 1904 only
I29, 900 votes were polled in Virginia at
the presidential election. At the Con-
gressional election of 1906 only 9O,sl6
votes were polled for both the Demo
cratic and Republican candidates. Only
about one-fourth as many votes were
polled in that election as were cast in
the presidential election of 1896.
Shall the people rule" in Virginia?
How can they rule when the electorate
is practically destroyed, and has been
Intentionally destroyed by the Demo-
cratic party in this State?
This wicked outrage upon the rights
OF the people has been upheld and de-
Tended by the Democratic press of the
State Now, are they not a pretty lot
to be shouting approval over Mr.. Bry-
ans question, Shall the people ruler"

Dollars and Patriotism.
Roanoke Times.
from the pain

ANOdnOke 1lmSS-
That all men in public life are not
venal and purchasable, the opinion
OF many to the contrary notwith-
standing, is evidenced in two recent
cases, brought to light by the death
of the parties. The parties are
Grover Cleveland and Senator Ali
son, of Iowa.
1t will be remembered that dur
ing Mr.. Cleveland's last administra-
ton, when the country was in the
throes Of one of the severest panics
1t had ever experienced, Mr.. Cleve-
land was charged with having been
the beneficiary to a considerable ex-
tent in the bond issue which the gov
eminent f1oated, and which was taken
slmost exclusively by the banking
house of j. P. Morgan & Co. 1t was
claimed not only by the political en-
emies of Mr.. Cleveland, but by men
of his own party who should have
been better informed. that he re-
ceived a considerable ''rake-off''
from Morgan & Co., for having been
allowed the privilege of subscribing
to so large block of the bonds.
When he retired from the presidency.
in the estimation of the public, his
wealth was in millions. The press
Of the country likewise charged him
with this, but so far as we are aware.
Mr.. Cleveland never made a denial.
1t was, therefore, a great surprise to
the country when his estate was ap-
praised after his death, that he was
neither a milionair, nor belonged
to the class of men of wealth of the
country.
Senator Allison, be it remembered.
was one of the men whom David
Graham Phillips, in that infamous
series of articles which the Cosmo-
politan magazine published under the
title of Treason of the Senate. &" MIC
tured as a multi-millionaire, obtained
from the corrupt practices of senator's.
When his estate was recently appraised
it was shown that he left an estate
worth less than $40, He was chair
man Of the Senate committee on appro-
priations, and undoubtedly had he been
a purchasable factor, he could have ac-
quired wealth almost beyond measure.
These discoveries must produce a
wholesome effect. Here are two men
who have been held up as arch-traitors
to their country; venal, debased, pur-
chasable, inviting the scorn of the peo-
pie who had exalted them to positions of
trust. Now, by common consent, it Is
agreed that terrible mistake has been
made, that these men were inspired by
the highest patriotism rather than dol.
lars, and every effort should be made to
undo the wrong. The announcement
can but inspire the people of govern
ment such as this with higher respect
for the men who are sent to Washing
ton.
There is no mistaking the charge that
corruption does exist in the halls of con-
Zress, but the very fact that public
opinion could mistake, with all the evil
ience adduced, in these two leading
Eases. clearly shows that the charge of
corruption is greatly exaggerated.

The Richmond Journal thinks that the
only remedial legislation needed in this
country is ITO Pluck Out The Thorn. >"
The thorn is our Protective Tariff. ac-
cording to the belief of the Journal.
Our Richmond contemporary ought to
remember that the people very unwisely
plucked out this supposed thorn some
sixteen years ago, and afterwards found
what they had torn out, instead of being
a thorn, was the heart of their industrial
progress and prosperity. The free
traders have become so afflicted with
hysteria that they are calling upon the
people to repeat the folly of 1892. The
proposition is about as sensible as would
be a suggestion from a physician to a
patient that is suffering with the head
ache to have his head cut off for relief
from the pain.

SPECIAL INTERESTS.

OECGlRl INTERESTS.
One of the most serious charges Mr..
Bryan Is striving to press against the
Republican party is that it is the friend
OF special interests. He claims or pre-
tends to believe that in their legislation
the Republicans are always looking af-
ter certain special interests or classes
OF business, and that the welfare of
what Mr.. Bryan is pleased to call the
Plutocrats is made paramount to the
interests of the mass of people by the
Republicans.
In this accusation Mr.. Bryan is about
as sincere as he was when he declared
In 1896 that it was the purpose of the
Republican party to destroy as a circu-
lating medium all kinds of money ex-
cept gold. The holiness with which
the candidate of the Democratic party
continues to assert that the Republicans
are the champions of special privileges
and special interests ought to Indicate
that he, Mr.. Bryan, has never been
friendly to any special interests. The
record, however, discloses the fact that
he has In the past been a most earnest
and aggressive advocate of what was
known as the silver interests. In 1896
he was the candidate of the Silver
Trust for the Presidency, and that was
why he so zealously endorsed the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio Of 16 to l. Previous to his nomi-
nation at Chicago in 1896, he had been
affiiiating with the Populists in Nebras-
ka, and had imbibed from them the doc
trine of free silver, as we'll as many
other doctrines to which he still adheres,
but that have been put upon the shelf
for the purpose of securing the Demo
cratic nomination this year.
That Mr.. Bryan was the candidate of
the Silver Trust in 1896 is proved by the
fact that his campaign was financed by
owners of the silver mines of this coun-
ty. 1t has been asserted, and not de-
MED by Mr.. Bryan, that the record
books of the Democratic National Com
mittee show that the silver mine own
ers contributed S2ss, 900, 900 to the
Bryan campaign fund of 1896. And
for that favor Mr.. Bryan advocated
their special interests, by proposing to
open the minis of the United States to
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
on private account at ratio of so cents,
or less, worth of bullion to the dollar.
If Mr.. Bryan's proposition had been
upheld by the people and the mints had
been used as he desired, the silver kings
of the United States would have doub
led their already enormous wealth in a
very brief time
When did Mr.. Bryan cease to be the
friend of the special silver interests?
Certainly not in 1900, when he demand
ed that the free silver plank in the
Democratic platform adopted at Chi
cago should be readopted and placed in
the platform at Kansas City. Has the
Silver Trust ceased to contribute to Mr.. |
Bryan's campaign fund, and is this the
reason why he has ceased to be the
champion of its special interests?

the people of New Mexico to believe
that the Republican party is in favor
of statehood. This is the same Repub-
lican party that, in the last century,
at st. Louis, June Is, 1896, put the
following plank in their platform:
1--WE favor the admission of the re-
naming territories at the earliest
practicable date, having due regard
to the interests of the people of the
territories and of the United States.
All the federal officers appoint d for
the territories should be selected

more than eleven years, during any
one Of which years New Mexico
might have been admitted to the I'm.
ion. This pledge, like all of the sub
sequent pledges which have been
made by the Republican party since
that time to admit New Mexico, has
been broken. Even the pledge of the
Republican chief executive made only
