THE PRIMARY RESULT IN
VIRGINIA.

Without going into the particular
merits or the real issues of the
Democratic primary campaign in Vir-
ginia. which closed with the primary
election on Thursday, there is one as
pect which cannot fail 10 interest the
entire country.
Right in the midst of the campaign a
bomb was exploded by the publication
of letters written, many years ago, by
Gen. William Malone, leader of the re-
adiuster movement, to William d.
Mann, one Of the candidates for the
gubernatorial nomination. These let
tiers indicated plainly that Malone and
Mann had been at least c;ose friends in
the time of readjustment, if not actual
political allies.
IN the years following the collapse Of
the readjuster movement there grew up
intense prejudices in Virginia against
the readjusters and all their works. The
political pendulum swung back the
other way, and many a promising career
INDEPENDENTLY blighted by the faint
of utilization with the propaganda led
by Malone.
When the Malone letters were pub
lished there was confident prediction
that they would defeat Mann. Indi-
cations are, however, that he has won
the nomination, though by a small ma
ioFity. True, he had the Virginia
machine with him; but to have won,
even with that support, in the face OF
the readiuster charges, is the best pos
sible evidence that the prejudices and
asperities of a generation now gone
have to a marvellous extent disappeared
The Virginia Of today is a very diff
ferent State from that of a quarter
century ago, and there has been no
more determinative proof Of the change
than is contained in the result of the
primaries of Thursday.

THE NEWHOUSE COMMITTEES
ANNOUNCED.

The expected happened when Speaker
Cannon announced his committees for
the Sixty-first Congress, in the last
hours of the special session. Friends
were rewarded and enemies punished.
Republicans whose length of service
and especial fitness peculiarly qualified
them for their former assignments,
were remorselessly pulled down from
chairmsnships or influential assign
ments because they had dared to OPP
pose the election of the Speaker and
the adoption of the rules, or, perchanee,
because they had not stood with the
organization on the legislation of the
extra session.
Mr.. Cooper, than whom there Is not
in Congress another better equipped
for the place, not only loses the chair
manship Of the Committee on Insular
Affairs, but IS entirely removed from
that committee. Mr.. Murdoch, of Kan
sas, who by long. single handed fight
forced a reform in the method of paying
the railroads for hauling mails which
saves the Government millions annu-
ally, is kicked down the stairs of the
Postoffice Committee. He becomes the
twelfth and last Republican on the list;
he would have been well up if he had
been given the treatment other men
are accorded. Mr.. Norris, of Nebraska,
was thrown off the important Build
ings and Grounds Committee. on which
he had b. long service crept well to-
ward the top. And so on through the
list of insurgent Republicans who had
been sufficiently active to mark them
for punishment.
On the other hand. those Democrats
who came to the rescue of the Cannon
organization in its hour of direst need,
during the rules fight, and assisted in
saving the old rules with the Fitz-
gerald patch on them, are found to have
been peculiarly well looked after; Trey
come in for the choicest pickings on
the minority sides of the committees.
There would be small occasion for
complaint with the Speakers punish
ment of his Republican opponents if it
were not for this rewarding of Demo
cratic allies. The point is emphasized
more than ever before that the Cannon
organization retained control by dint
of q deal with a minority of Democrats.
There have been determined efforts to
read out of their party those Repub-
licans, in both houses, who declined to
be entirely regular the past session. Il
would appear that when the organiza
ton sustains itself by a deal with
Democrats, and in proof of the deal
pays the price, there ought to be an
end to that sort of accusations.

UPWARD OR DOWNWARD: A
SUGGESTIVE SIDELIGHT.

Says a New York News dispatch;
The customs house has been one of
the busiest places In the United
States during the past few days.
The increase in imports in anticipa-
ton of the new legislation has
mounted into hundreds of thousands
of dollars in value, and to this has
been added several million dollars
worth Of merchandise Withdrawn from
bonded warehouses. The total Gus
for the four business days of the
present week will reach more than
$4,000, o00-more than double the nor
NAL receipts at this season Of the
year.
This from a story of how fast steam
ships raced against time and the Sen
ate's conversation in the effort to get
their cargoes under the custom house
wire before the new tariff at should
become effective.
Of course, the things which are being
hurried into the country at the last
moment are those on which the rates
are going up; the articles on which
there is prospect of reduction are al
ways allowed u wait until after the
new law has passed.
Still, the animation and the volume
of the hurry-up, eleventh hour traffic
at the custom house is an interesting
commentary, when it turns up in
parallel column with the assurances
that the tariff has been revised down
ward.

Senator La Toilette
Will Have His Say.

One Republican Senator at least has
served notice that he is not going to
hesitate to express his opinion about
the tariff bill This is Senator La Fol-
lette of Wisconsin. Senator La Fol-
lette. just as the debate on the bill in
the Senate was about to close, expected
to be able to make some remarks. He
had on the day before put his name
on the list Of those who were to speak.
This list was on the desk OF the Vice
President, but Mr.. Sherman was not at
the desk at the time. Senator La Fol-
lette got into the Senate chamber about
ten minutes before the debate was ia
close and expected to occupy a few
moments. but Senator Aldrich took the
floor and kept II. Senator La Toilette
found his name had been moved down
lower or the list of speakers. La Fol-
lette will now so on the Chautauqua
platform and have his say about the
bill.
las 1 shall have occasion many times
to state my views with respect to this
tariff legislation between now and the
converting of Congress, in December
next" said Senator La Toilette to the
Senate. in explaining how he had been
prevented from speaking. I forego the
opportunity 10 have spoken here with
less disappointment"
