OF the income tax provision, refused to
sign the only tariff reform measure
passed since the war, and while thun-
dering against the trusts in his mes
sages, did even less than Knox has done
to interfere with their high-handed
methods.
His administration, instead of being
a fountain of Democracy, sending forth
pure and refreshing streams, became a
stagnant pool, from whose waters foul
vapors arose-poisonous to those who
fingered near. Having debauched his
party, he was offended by its effort to
reform and gave comfort TO the enemy.
Virginius killed his daughter to save
her chastity; Cleveland stabbed his par
ty to prevent its return to the paths
of virtue.
And. now, still gloating over his po-
htica' crimes, he invites the party to re-
turn to him and apologize for the con-
tempt which it has expressed for him.
Will it? Not until the principles of JEFF
ferson are forgotten and the works of
jackson cease to inspire"

as the opponents of true Democracy.
These hundreds of thousands, with
their trusted leaders, are yet smarting
from the stings inflicted by Bryan's
scorpion lash; and they will not permit
their wounds to be treated with a har-
mony ointment that bears the BRYAN
trademark.
The Nebraska politician will find his
efforts as harmonizer failure. The
breach will be widened, and will be
wider with Mr.. Bryan as the President
ial candidate in 1908 than it has ever
been since he took the party by the
throat in 1896.

A DANGEROUS EXPRESSION.

The claim that English Edward is
every inch King" has as little to rest
on as Chinese lady. He is a good fell
low, full of tact, and wearing the limi-
tatlons of a close environment with
genial philosophy. The only power he
Yields is that of an engaging personal
lty, and he retains the semblance of
leadership by never opposing the policy
OF his ministers or espousing the pecu-
liar theories of either party. But for
real Kingship he isn't in it with the
head of our so-called republican govern
ment- Edward would not dare do that
which Roosevelt does with impunity
every day he lives. -Norfolk Virginian-
Pilot.
Our brilliant contemporary, the Vir-
ginian-Pilot, too frequently becomes
reckless in its disposition to say bril-
liantly sarcastic things. The above is
another manifestation af that disposi-
sition. 1t is just such expressions as
these, found in reputable journal, that
fire the brain of the anarchist crank
and encourage him to commit the horri-
bic deeds of an assassin.

MR.. BRYAN AND HARMONY.

On the 5th inst the Nebraska Demo-
Gratis met in State convention, and Bry-
anisn with rampant hand controlled its
actions throughout. The platform
adopted is supposed to outline the one
which will be presented by Mr.. Bryan
to the Denver convention. 1t treats of
every issue, small and great, that can
be possibly brought into the coming
campaign, except the two which Bryan
short time ago intended should be the
paramount issues-Government owner
ship and initiative and referendum.
Evidently he is beginning to play the
role of a compromiser and harmonizer,
very ludicrous and difficult part for
him to fill The press reports say
that harmony was the keynote at the
Nebraska convention"
Can it be possible that Mr.. Bryan be-
lieves that he can harmonic the war
ring factions in his party, and possibly
lead a united host to victory? 1t is
true that he has before, in the campaign
of 1896, exhibited q wonderful capacity
for fusing discordant elements, repre-
senting different political parties; but
ne has never before shown any desire
or ability to harmonic the radical and
conservative elements in his own party.
1t is too late for Mr.. Bryan to as
sumo the part of peacemaker. Only
as radical fadist is he strong; and his
most signal failure will come when he
tries to act as a conservative. Besides.
1t was only short time ago that he

but he afterwards hurled at Mr.. Cleve-

most whitening and contemptuous re-
marks. Here are some of the things
Mr.. Bryan said about the formerly hon
ored Democratic President:
He (Cleveland) secured his nomina-
ton in 1892 by a secret bargain with the
financiers, his committee collected from
the corporations and spent the largest
campaign fund the party ever had; he
filled his cabinet with corporation agents
and placed railroad attorneys on the
United States bench, to look after the
interests of their former clients.
'He turned the treasury over to a
Wall street syndicate, and the financial

formed did violence to the idea of COM
pactness, and were a travesty on the re-
quirement for contiguous territory.
The recent so-called redistricting
measure made no change in the two
districts, except that of taking Floyd
county from the Fifth end attaching it
to the Sixth. This has made the Fifth
District a Typographical monstronsity
similar to the Sixth, the Fifth being
nearly cut in two at the point where
Carroll and Patrick counties adjoin.
Originally the Fifth District had about
twelve thousand fewer inhabitants than
the Sixth, now it has forty-two
thousand less. So, the Virginia Legis-
lature has violated the provision of the
Constitution which requires that dis
tricts shall have, as nearly as practical
bic, an equal number of inhabitants.
The requirement has been reversed by
taking from the lesser and adding to
the greater.
The Virginia Democrats have been so
long disregarding their obligation to
support and maintain the Constitution
Of the United States that they have
learned, without having any pangs of
conscience, to violate an oath to support
and maintain the Constitution of their
own State-well knowing that their pro-
fessed reason for making the new or
ganic law was to secure honest politics.
by relieving them from the necessity
for stealing the negro vote.
Every member of the General Assem-
bly, who voted for the measure which
redistricted the Fifth and Sixth Districts
violated the oath he took when he was
sworn in as a member of the General
Assembly. Those who comprehended
the provisions of the Constitution and
still voted for the bill wilfully violated
their oaths; and those who did not I'M
derstand the Constitution were ignorant
viOlators of the organic law.
1t will surely take something more
powerful than the new Constitution to
reform the consciences of the partisan
Virginia Democrats.
There is no doubt in our mind that
this redistricting bill is obnoxious to
both the Federal and State Constitu-
tons. The people of the Fifth District
should unite, without regard to politics.
and test its constitutionality in the
courts. If the courts have no jurisdic-
ton in the matter. then, it should be
brought directly before Congress. Ger
tainly there must be relief somewhere
for such an outrageous disregard of law
and morality. VIII the people of the
Fifth permit their interests and politi-
cal integrity to be made football by
conscienless machine politicians?

Chemistry In Common Things.
(Pittsburg Post. }

A little learning is never more dan
gerous than in such sciences as chemis-
try, especially those branches of it an
piled to commercial fields. Your real
scientist knows the danger of INSULT
cient congratulations. Your practical
man must have everything reduced to
exact figures. Yoke the two of them
up to the same enterprise, and you have
a sorry team of it. There is no element.
for instance, more desirable in soil for
purposes of fertility than nitrogen.
There Is no element more abundant in
the atmosphere than this same nitrogen.
And yet until it is put into available
form this nitrogen is worthless. The
same of other constituents of soil fer
tility.
For years the superiority of graham
over the white -four has been preached.
1t is higher in proteids, the nurtritive
qualities, but when the matter of diges-
ton is considered the white flour is
claimed by recent investigators to be at
least as good as its rival that is made
from the so-called whole wheat. In this
connection it must be recalled, too. that
cooking often adds digestibility to or
takes it away from food. There is no
way in which the housewife can better
prepare herself to be real helpmeet so
far as expanding the family income is
concerned than by acquiring some of
the knowledge about food values and
the effects of cooking upon them which
is easily available in number of well
written books on the theme. People
sometimes get misled in seeking to
adopt science to common things, but
there is no better way to progress than
to seek its aid and instruction.

In the congressional election in 1898.
just one year before, between Epes.
Democrat, and Thorp, Republican, the
total vote polled In this cOunty-both
Democratic and Republican-was only
l,25S, or ATS less than were certified to
have been cast for Judge Mann in the
election in which the poll books were
stolen.
An account of the election in Motto
way, sent out from Blackstone the
night of the election, said: whites
and blacks seemed to vie with each 9TH
er in their enthusiasm to cast their bal
lots for their countyman, Judge Mann.
for the Senate"
That the stealing of the poll books
from the county clerks office was not
an incident of a commonplace robbery
has never been doubted. The Richmond
Dispatch, in its report of the crime,
said, November IL, 1899:
Some of the papers in the office were
disarranged in the hunt for the poll
books, but Clerk Deane has been unable,
after diligent investigation, to find that
any other papers were pilfered. The
ballots were left undisturbed.
Judge Mann was opposed in that cleo
ton, not by q Republican, or a negro
sympathizer, but by a white man. one

While on the subject of elections in
Nottoway, in which Judge Mann has
been candidate. we recall that an
ugly situation developed following the
contest for the State Senate in 1899 be-
tween +. P. Buford, of Brunswick, and
Judge Mann.
Buford carried Brunswick by I.I79
majority, and Lunenburg by ITO major
ity. Nottoway, the only other county
In the senatorial district, gave Mann
LOSS majority on the face of the re-
turns as certified to, and insured him
the seat by 339 net in the whole dis
trict.
Buford's friends alleged irregulari-
ties in Nottoway, and Mr.. Buford was
seriously considering the ACCESSIBILITY of
contesting Judge Mann's seat in the
Senate.
THEN WHAT HAPPENED? THE
OFFICE OF THE CLERK OF NOT
TOWAY COUNTY WAS BROKEN
OPEN ON THE NIGHT OF NOVEM-
Der 10TH, THREE DAYS AFTER
THE ELECTION, WHICH WAS
HELD ON THE 9TH, AND THE
POLL BOOKS WERE STOLEN.
