While this Journal has not as vet do
clared for any candidate in the guber-
material race, yet we deplore the spirit
OF bitterness which bids fair to domi-
cate the campaign.
One of our esteemed CONTEMPORARIES
has seen fit to criticize in a stringent
editorial the past history and present
motives of Judge Mann. Having a
very slight acquaintance with the gen-
t!eman. and no knowledge of his past
life, we are not competent to JUDGE
what degree of truth these charges
contain, nevertheless we regret fine
advent of such spirit because it tends
to injure the Democratic party.
On several occasions we have suffered
defeats in national politics which were
largely attributable to party splits
caused by friction among its ranks.
While the Democratic party has domi-
mated politics in Virginia for wears IL
does not mean that it is beyond the
limits of possibility for some other to
secure its place.
Leaving out of consideration the
harm which may accrue to the party
by the introduction of such biting ner.

THE PLEBEIANS.
Their Secession From Rome and Their
 Riso to Power.

Their Secession From Rome and Their
 Riso to Power.
 Plebelaus were the commons of Rome. who were originally forbidden an political rights. They were for the most part poor and were not allowed to intermarry with the patrIcians. They served in the army without pay and were sold into slavery for debt and could even be cut into pieces for distribution among their creditors.
 Finding their condition mtoleroble, the plebelans in 49T B. c. seeded to Mons Sacer, near Rome, where they resolved to build a new city. But this step so alarmed the privileged classes that they granted to the commons the right of annually choosing from their own numbers two magistrates, called trlbunes, with power to protect them against the aggresslons of the potri- clans.
 After the lapse of about 200 years the disabilities of the plebeians were almost entirely removed, and between the years 35G-3OO B. c. they secured the dictatorship, the censorship and the praetorship as well as the right to be ponuG and augur. Thus the Ro- man republic, after two centuries of existence, finally secured a democratic form of government. - New York American.

Polar life brings strange revelations. A man who is a model of umiabllity at home is a savage in those high lat ltudes, where Mother Nature and hu, mauity seem bent on revealing their crudest characteristics When a man goes to the arctcs first he disllkes 1t. If he is caught there one winter he vows to himself that he will never re. peat the adventure. Yet when he gets back home he discovers that the "whlte silence" has a compelling fas- ciuatlon. have never known man who could resist the chance to go again, even at a financial loss. After twenty years of experience, if another opportunity came to me, it is doubtful whether any consideration would pre- vent my taking up the work again. once the charm of those long months of daylight the mysterious deathly sI. lence of those long nights, the white glare of that brilliant moonlight across trackless wastes of snow and ice, has been felt a man is unable to resist the siren call of the north that has be- come more to him than family, home, friends or money.

First ] tied his hands to the crib to keep him from scratching, but when it got SO bad ] tied him in Q shawl or he would scratch himself all bloody. When he was seven months old we tried a set of the CutiCUra Remedies. The first application of Cuticura let him sleep and rest well, in one week the sores were gone but it stayed red and sometimes it would itch so wo used Cuticur0 for two months, then he had a clear and white face. Now he is two years and seven months old and has never had eczema again. ] hope this letter will help some who are suffer ing from skin disease. Every mother who has a baby suffering with skin disease should just try CutiCura; there Is nothing better Mrs. Louis Beck, E. F.D.3, San Antonio, Tex, Apr. l5, 'O7.'
