RICHMOND DEMOCRACY.

Democracy in Richmond now con-
sists of any old thing. White, black,
tan or any other color, stripe, quality,
or make up. Niggers are as good as
any so they promise that they will
support the nominees. The only thing
that bars any voter down there from a
Democratic primary, is to be certain
that he will support the next Demo
cratic nominee for president. Those
able Democratic journals the Richmond
Times-Dispatch and News-Leader are
throwing fits over it, and are nauseated
at the thought of a Democrat being
expected to vote for the Denver nomi-
nee. Lovely Democrats these, -glori-
Gus party leaders they. We hope the
niggers voting at Richmond as Demo
Gratis may prove as sweet to them al
ways as they seem to be just now. How
real Democrat could feel afraid to
pledge himself to vote the National
ticket, nobody but those who have
SHE'D it heretofore can tell. The thing
looks like Jopseph's coat.

NATURAL MISTAKE.

The habitual .drunkard who mis-
took the Salvation Army captain for
the chief of police, as he was entering
bar room last week, and we hear
staggered with fright, should note that
one wears a red band on his cap, and
the other does not, and that the one
wears a satisfied smile and the other
does not. He might 60 further and ask
whichever one he met to takea ''smile'
with him, but as both would likely re-
fuse he would be just where he started
The best thing for the II. d. to do is to
keep away from bar rooms until the
Salvation Army marches by, then he
will get his bearings easier, and not
suffer from those sudden jars, so well
calculated to bring on heart failure.

SOUTHERN SETS PACE.
THE SOUTHERN RAILWAY
WAGE CASE.

The undersigned mediators who have
endeavored to settle the pending con-
troversy between the Southern Railway
and allied companies and their contract
labor, in accordance with Sec. 2 of the
Erdmann Act, have found the en-
ployees unwilling at this time to ac-
cept reduction of wages, because, in
the opinion of these employees, the
present depression in business has not
continued for sufficient period to
justify reduction.
Under all the circumstances of the
case, irrespective of its merits, we are
of the opinion that the interests of the
public will be promoted, as well as the
interests of all parties to the controver-
sy, if the companies shall not insist up
on the proposed reduction at this time.
Accordingly, we have recommended to
the companies to continue the present
schedule of wages until July first next,
upon the understanding that if, by that
time, business conditions have not sub
stantially improved, the matters in dis
pute will be taken up again by the me-
diator, with the view of reaching such
an agreed adjustment of the wage scale
as may seem to be just under the con-
ditions then existing.
We take great pleasure in announc
ing that this recommendation has been
accepted by the companies and by their
employees in the operating, mechanical
and roadway departments represented
by their organizations.

TO THE HABITUAL DRUNKARDS

1t will be interesting to examine the
list of Habitual Drunkards now being
prepared in Staunton under the Byrd
law. If you find your name written
there do not go cunning for the author
of your misery, and set naught down in
malice. Remember that the one lost
sheep was more lamented than the
ninety and nine which went not astray
1t is not everybody who can get upon
the list. You have no doubt won the
distinction by close application to bus
mess and hard work. You have climb
ed to it doubtless by stony path, or
by lifting yourself round by round up
the ladder, or hand over hand on the
slight" rope. Others must arrive as
you have done by the same tortuous
route. Headaches, discolored optics,
insults by cops, billets over your head,
handouts on your wrists, cells in Jail
not fit for gentlemen, rows at home,
sweet slumbers in cutters, and on sever
al occasasions snakes crawling about
your pillow or striking at you with
wide mouths full of deadly fangs. You
can rejoice that your fellow travellers
and boon companions do not number
400. You are more select and exclusive
than that. If there are so of you here,
we will be surprised, and you should
be careful to prevent any more from
butting in. Black ball them, give
them the icy stare, the cold hand, the
frozen face. This law was made for
you and only you and don't allow
others TO abuse it or take from you the
distinction you enjoy. But one thing
you must remember, there is no Jim
Crow car On the line, all travel by the
same route. Black, white, yellow, cop
per and all other colors blend into one
under the delicate tints impaired by
the sunlight of this law divine, a law
which came to us much as the deca-
logue, law inspired by one who is
commissioned to lead us out of the will
derness of sin.

SAINTED DEMOCRATS.

1t has just developed before grand
jury in New York that the Metropoli-
tan Street Railway Co. of that city,
gave 100000 to the campaign fund of
1900 1t was paid to Geo. ]. HUM q
Sons of Philadelphia, who paid it over
to the campaign committee. The fol-
lowing gentlemen paid it for the COM
pany by giving their individual checks
of 500, 900 each, and were afterwards
repaid the money by the company with
interest. Note the names of the gen
tlemen: Thomas F. Ryan, VIM. G..
Whitney, Tomas Dolan, P. A. B. Wild
ener and VIM. L. Elkins. Mr.. Ryan
we know pretty well here in Virginia.
He was born and raised in Nelson
county, went to New York and made a
fortune. VIM. c. Whitney was mem
Der of Cleveland's cabinet, and until
his death some time ago was one of the
very richest of New Workers, and a
street railway magnate Dolan we
know little about, but Widener and
Elkins are both Philadelphians and
verylr rich men, whose money was made
in Philadelphia traction deals. The re-
port of the grand jury says nothing as
to which political party got this mon
ey, but it need not say; it went straight
into the Republican campaign fund,
for not one corporation in the whole
United States subscribed anything to
elect VIM. J. Bryan the Democratic
nominee in 1900, the year this money
was subscribed. Now what we want
to call attention to is this, VIM. G.
Whitney, member Cleveland's cab
met, was giving his check of 500, 900
to aid the Republicans to win. He had
turned traitor and this was one of his
acts. But if we are allowed to look
with contempt on the act of VIM. G..
Whitney, what must we say of Thomas
F. Ryan and the "Ringn in Virginia
which took up Ryan and made him a
delegate to the National Democratic
convention in 1904 from Virginia, just
four years after he had bolted the party
and was putting up the money of his
stockholders in the Metropolitan Street
Railway Co. to defeat the Democratic
nominee? Is it any wonder that Dem
ocrats who believe in political as well
as other honesty should be disguised at
such work as this? There was denrm-
citation of the act at the time, there was
just indignation. The same "powers
that be- ruled things then, that
we suppose will rule them this
time, and we suppose corrup-
tionists and renegades will again be
in the saddle. We suppose that no
greater outrage ON any electorate was
ever perpetrated than when Thomas F
Ryan was sent as a delegate to St. Louis
from Virginia in 1904, and if such
things are to be again crammed down
the Threats of the Democrats of Virgin
ia some of them will resent it in no
uncertain way. They have not forgot
ten that incident and will not forget it
soon. They know who to thank fol
this outrage on their integrity, and who
to thank for this reward of party
treachery.

THE CONSPIRATORS UNVEILED.

The.cat is out of the bag, the plans OF
the gold bug end. of Ethe Democratic
party are now visible. In one day
AoOMs have been started for George
Gray of Delaware, Judson Harmon of
Ohio, and Thomas Johnson of Mime
sofa. That the plan is preconcerted
one, and has in it rule or ruin policy,
none can deny. Brutus and Cassius
and the other conspirators have laid
aside their masks. 1t is the same ele-
ment that bnIted in 1896 at work again,
and their policy is not desire to secure
Democratic victory, but to compass
Mr.. Bryan's defeat. Geo. Gray was an
open and avowed boiler in 1896 and
1900. Judson Harmon, we think, was
boiler in 1896, but possibly supported
Mr.. Bryan in 1900. Just where the
Hon. Thomas Johnson has stood all
these years we do not know, but we
will concede that he voted for Mr.. Bry-
an in 1896 and 1900. EThat no bolter
need apply is fixed and certain. Those
who have been regular will have none
of him. We give notice now that if
any bolter of 1896 or 1900 is put upon
the party by the intriguing underhand
scheme which is. being Matched here in
Virginia and elsewhere, we will not
support him. We swallowed our last
dose of that character in 1904 and when
we are asked to take another we will
back down and out. We know too
that we voice the sentiments of thou
sands of Virginians when we make this
statement. We are going to be bound
by no stronger party bonds, than bound
Geo. Gray and Henry Watterson and
Grover Cleveland. What these gentle
men did with their consciences we will
do with ours. We do not have to go
out of Virginia for other shining ex-
amples. Some distinguished men here,
on whom office has been heaped by the
Democratic party, if they did nothing
to defeat Mr.. Bryan, did nothing to
elect him. They need not expect others
to be more loyal than they were. Gray
and Harmon are not really to be con-
sidered; but we may be asked, "Why
not Johnson ?" Well, Johnson may
be all right as a man. He was first
brought to our attention as the Dark
Horse of Henry Watterson in whose
Democracy we have no confidence, and
in whose footsteps we will be slow to
follow. The present conditions in Ken
lucky are evidences that we want none
of his candidates, to say nothing of the
fact that the assassination of Demo-
cratic governor in his State has never
received rebulle from his so called DEM
ocratic organ. Johnson may be very
good man, butt will require more than
the word of the Hon. Henry to con-
vince us of it. Then the demand for
johnson seems tricky and comes from
that end of the party which we dis
trust. 1t behooves the people of Vir-
ginia in the light of these events to be-
stir themselves or the Organization"
will sell their birthright for mess of
pottage.
