Serenity Nine DAYS More.

Is 10 say. Harry st George Tucker
and William Hodges Mann have
Seveuty-nine days more in which
Ia lay befor the voters the legisla-e
tive policies for which each of
them stands. An immense amount
of valuable Illuminating and uplift-
ing work can be done in seventy
uine days. venture TO suggest
10 these two gentlemen that they
can employ this period in no
more profitable way than in public
discussion of certain vital and more
or less difficult problems which
they have hitherto shown a dispo-
sitioD 70 ignore. If they desire to
engage in joint debates during
these eleven remaining weeks we
suggest that they dispense with
personalities and devote themselves
TO an ardent discussion cf the fol-
lowing topics:
l. Taxation in Virginia.
>. Virginia ; Agriculture: Fur
Their Means of Building 1t Up.
.. Nirginia's Oyster Industry.
I. Expatriate Virginians: The
States Dead Loss.
>. The Primary and How to
Perfect 1t.
We venture to suggest that these
topics would prove much more
stimulating and profitable than the
following:
l. What MIR. Tucker Did in 1896.
>. How Judge Mann Conducted
Himself in 1866.
Seventy-nine days embittered
debate on the latter themes can help
the State of Virginia not one whit.
Seventy-nine days intelligent dis
cussion Of the former themes can
help the State. They may find
attacks" piquent, but they are
not misled into thinking them help
full. Nor can their enthusisams be
further fired by continued revamp-
ings of these familiar hypothesis:
l. The Liquor Traffic Must BE
Regulated Wisely and Fairly.
.. Good Roads Are Good Things.
4. Good Schools Are Good
Things.
In the seventy-nine days that
remain before the balloting a mag
nificent opportunity confronts both
