WONDERFUL WONDERFUL!

Just think of it! Five of the Demo-
cratic members of Congress from Vir-
ginia voting with Congressman Slemp
against proposed amendment to the
Payne Bill to put rough lumber on the
free list. These five Democratic Con-
gressmen were Glass, Saunders, LASH
ter, Lamb and Maynard.
Just think of it, A Democratic Con-
gresham from Virginia speaking for
and urging a protective duty for Vir-
ginia tobacco. This was Saunders, who
ran on the Democratic free trade plat
form last year.
Just think of it! Two Democratic
Congressman from Virginia advocating
and urging a protective duty on pea
nuts, one of the necessaries of life in
Virginia. Lassiter and MAYNARD have
done this.
Just think of it, Two Democratic
Congressman from Louisiana, Pujo and
Broussard, offering ami advocating an
amendment to the Payne Bill to except
rice from the free trade provisions with
the Philippines. Rice is one of the
most important necessaries of life.
The Broussard amendment was agreed
to by rising vote, not a Democrat
recorded against it.
Just think Of it, Southern Demo
cratic Congressman making vigorous
effort to have protective duties put
upon lumber, cotton, rice, sugar, to-
Sacco, peanuts, coal and iron ore, Just
after they have followed William Jen-
nings Bryan and stood upon the Denver
platform which pronounced damnation
against Protection.

Those Cannon Democrats,
Baltimore American.

Baltimore American.
The twenty-odd members of the min
ority in the House of Representatives
that swung out of the traces with which
the Hon. Champ Clark had sought to
harness them to his chariot, in the con-
test over the rules at the beginning of
the extra session, have encountered dis
approval in not unexpected places. The
Commoner, in 4 recent issue, undertook
to deliver an editorial castigation to the
rash ones, singing out the leader of the
movement for particular reference.
But the leader of the Cannon Demo-
crafts is not eating any humble pie and
when 1t comes to comments of a per
sonal nature, he seems to be quite as
well gifted in that respect as the editor
of the Commoner. He concludes a
caustic rejoinder to Mr.. Bryan's criti-
cism by declaring eff the Democratic
party had given me three opportunities
to become president and had failed as
dismally as Mr.. Bryan has, even if 1 did
not have the sense to do so yet the obi
CATION of gratitude to my party would
compel me to remain silent about mat
tiers of which l was grossly ignorant. -
In the vote upon the Payne bill, when
the time arrives to put it to the vote in
the House, Speaker Cannon isquoted as
saying that Eat least twenty Democrat
ic votes will be forthcoming if they are
necessary" There is at least a per-
centage of the House minority that
seems to know when it is confronting a
condition and not theory.

who Owns Spitzberpen7
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
An International conference. in which
the United States will be represented, is
to meet this week in Christiania for the
purpose of determining the control of
the archipelago which bears the collec-
tive name of Spitzbergen. Norway
claims ownership on the ground that
during the last hundred years the coasts
OF the archipelago have been mainly
trequented by Norwegian fishermen and
huntmen; but the recent discovery of
rich coal fields has attracted the cupid.
lty OF other countries, some of which
have pretensions based on discovery or
former occupation. The question of
ownership has been agitated since 1871
and 1t is time that it should be settled.
So far as the claim of ownership is
based upon discovery the Norwegians
have no standing in court. Spitzbergen
was discovered in 1886 by William Ba-
rents, who has given his name to the
sea stretching thence eastward to Nova
Zembla, and his companion. Cornelius
Rip, is alleged to have circumnavigated
the archipelago, which was long con-
sidered a part of Greenland. 1t is an
undisputed fact, however, that long be-
fore Barents came upon the group the
Russians had known it under the name
of 'Grumant.
Apparently the international confer
ence must adopt one of three solutions,
namely, recognize Russia's claim of
discovery or Norway's claim of occupa-
ton, or in compliance with Germany's
suggestion place the 'Spitzhcrgen archi-
pelago under international control.

World Almost Known.
Philadelphia Record.

Alexander's complaint that there
were no more worlds to conquer merely
betrayed his ignorance. The greater
part of the world he knew nothing of.
But his famous lamentation is now
echoed with good reason by the ambi-
tious and the venturesome. The world
has been found out. The only things it
has that remain to be explored are in
significant. There are no more CONT
nents to discover except those buried
under ice caps. The Northwest Pas
sage has been discovered, and it is of no
use, anyway.
A few centuries ago maps of Asia,
Africa and America were interesting.
They consisted merely of q shore line
and an interior which the artistic car
tographers covered with pictures of ele-
plants and lions and savsges of gigan-
tic size and abnormal shape. The wild
beasts and the savages have greatly di-
minished and their pictures have disap-
peared entirely from the maps. In
place of them we have rivers and noun
tains and towns, and often we have
even railroads. The traveller finds no
unbeaten tracks unless he goes where
there Is no use of going.

Notice to DeIinuuents.

Recently we have been sending out
statements to number of delinquent
subscribers, and we will continue to do
this until all are notified of the standing
Of their account. Some have responded
to these statements while others have
failed or refused to do so. AS rapidly
as possible we are finding out the per-
sstent delinquents and are removing
them from our list. Their accounts will
be collected by law when possible. Some
have been made angry by our effort to
get what was due us. This disposition
Is both ungenerous and unjust.

ITS TROUBLING THEM.

We all remember how boastfui the
Virginia Democracy was when that
hotchpotch, called State Constitution.
was forced upon the people by fraud
and usurpation. This so-called organic
law was proclaimed by the Democratic
press as the perfection of human wis
dom, and all the tribe shouted. amen!
1t IS amusing to see the change that has
taken place in the estimate once held of
this constitution by the Democrats.
They have discovered that it is net
work of imperfections and loaded with
clauses so mysterious and conflicting
that the courts shudder and hesitate
when called upon to construe and solve
them. 1t required two efforts and
much delay in the Supreme Court of the
State to determine what was the in
tended meaning of the words person
ally pay" in connection with the DOLL
tax qualification for voting. While the
decision of the Court of Appeals in this
matter is in accordance with every day
common business sense, the conclusion
was reached in an opinion SO volumi-
nous and vague as to give promise of
further serious trouble in the settle
rpenf of tho xavaJ c,,o-4..
Then, there was the question of the
constitutionality of what is known as
the Ward law. The Court of Appeals
had to strain and stretch to find any
reasonable ground upon which to stand
while holding the Ward law constitu-
tional; and the task was only accom-
plished by making prominent conflicting
provisions in the constitution.
Four separate amendments to this
once proclaimed perfect constitution
were provided by the last Democratic
Legislature and will be submitted to
the people next Fall. These amend
ments are intended to remove defects in
the constitution that were so disgusting
and serious that the people were clam
oring for the removal. And public
sentiment is now demanding that the
intricate and devilish poll tax prereoui-
site features of the constitution be
wiped out AS the years move along
many other imperfections and decisions
will be discovered in this constitution.
for the making of which the taxpayers
paid half a million dollars. 1t has al.
ready destroyed the electorate and
about doubled the expenses of the State
Government, though its avowed pur-
pose was to give the people a more eco
nomical government.

A FIERCE BATTLE.
Terrific Encounter Between a Boa Con-
strictor and Iauuar.


In the Wide World Magazine for April
there is an exciting account of fight
between snake and a jaguar given by
an eye witness-Dr. T. A. Stoddard.
81 had been travelling for about an
hour, trying to locate the source of the
Santa Rita, and winning every inch of
ground by hacking and slashing with
the machete, when i was startled by a
most fearful scream, which seemed to
come from somewhere Immediately be-
hind me. Turning around and looking
back over the trail l had just made
saw great commotion taking place
suong the vines, dead leaves and de-
caying branches which carpeted the
ground, and the blood-curdling scream
l had heard rang out again. Returning
a little nearer, discovered "tiger,"
or properly speaking, jaguar or Amer
lean leopard, and it was writhing in the
coils of an enormous boa constructor.
The great snake appeared to have the
side of the jaguar's head in its mouth,
and coil or two of its body around the
