"DIRTY POLITICS."
pcoionisl Beach RscOrd.l


The gubernatorial contest In this
State has just begun, and already we
read in the daily papers where a num-
Der of charges have been brought
against one of the candidates by the
Richmond Journal. We do not claim to
understand the merits of the charges,
but the spirit in which they are made
leads us to believe that the old policy
of trumping up charges against the
opposition has been revived. II every
voter will stop to consider, they can
see that this is means to misguide
their judgment from their course of
duty, The best element of the Demo-
cratic party will not countenance such
charges, because they expect them to
eminate from the weaker side OF the
contest, for it is one of the faults Of
human nature to abuse the opposition
when he is getting the best of an
argument. as is In this case, 1t brings
to the front that childishness that al
ways clings to grown-up men and wo-
men.
Because a candidate is not suited to
ones liking does not signify that he is
not the choice of the people. 1t
is gratifying to know that Judge Mann
is in the Democratic ring" and that
that ring is so large that it encircles the
entire State. The men in it are true
and loyal. and believe in pure, clean
Democratic principles, and are above
making a personal and unwarranted
attack upon man because he asks for
your vote in the primaries.

AS TO STATEWIDE PROHIBITION
Petersburg Index-Appeai.)

Ever and anon, as the campaign for
the Democratic gubernatorial nomina-
tion progresses, some guerrilla or bush
whacker on the outfianks of the column
fires the question at the candidates,
chiefly at Judge Mann: ''In the event
of your election as Governor and the
passage by the Legislature of bill for
Statewide prohibition election, would
you approve it or veto it?"
The question is inspired by no inter-
est in behalf of Statewide prohibition,
local option or the liquor traffic, but is
insincere and disingenuous, and de-
signed only to embarrass the candidates.
The candidate may be sure in every in
stance that the question is aimed at
him by some enemy with the ulterior
purpose we have indicated.
1t is difficult to conceive that these
bushwhackers are so fatuously STEPPED
that they do not understand the plain
logic of the situation as it was created
by the Anti-Saloon League Convention
at Norfolk and by the voluntary declar-

EGGLESTON ENTERS
FOR HIS POSITION,
Proceeding to Organize and to Pre-
pare for opp0sition-Prefers MAX
ing Race Alone,
News Leader.)

(News Ieader)
David Q. Eggleston, of Charlotte
county, is beginning to remind his
friends that he will be candidate for
reelection in the state primary to the
office of secretary of the commonwealth.
Mr.. Eggleston is now completing his
second term in that Office, having been
first elected several years ago by the
general assembly.
Mr.. Eggleston has been in public life
for many years having served in the
State Senate and also in the Constitu-
tlonal Convention. He is lawyer by
profession, and during his incumbency
of that Office he has demonstrated that
ne is one of the most efficient and care
ful of officials. He has splendid force
under him, and the work of the depart
ment, which is now several times
heavier than it was when he first took
the Office, is kept right up to the
minute.
So far Mr.. Eggleston has no opposi-
tion, and four years ago he had clear
field. He is not notanticipating any opposi-
tion this time, but he is proceeding to
organize and get his force in line in order
to meet possible complications for the
office.
"You see it is this way" said Mr..
Eggleston, when he confessed that he
was willing to serve the people again.
Il have been here for long time, and
so far as / know there has been no
complaint. In order to show just what
a race | can make if left alone l am
training just bit, and watch me when
the campaign opens and see if do not
break all records, with the assistance of
my friends"

A PLEA FOR THE POOR.

Oh, wealthy fathers of the land,
Oh, mothers rich and proud,
Your little ones-a happy band
Around you hearth-stones crowd.
You see them blest in every way
Ah, how could they endure
The ills that crush, from day to day,
The children of the poor?
Then heed the sad plants of the poor
And help them while you may;
Fortune IL tickle, wealth not suEs--
You may be poor some day.
Or, if you hold your golden store,
Where is your recompense?
When this fast fleeting life IL Ger
You cannot take it hence.
oh, if had fairy's wing,
I'd touch each rich mans breast
With such sense Of suffering
That he could never rest
Till he, aroused by charity,
Should tap his golden store,
And stealing, born of poverty,
Should vanish ever more.

A TIMELY SUGGESTION.
lGordonsvilIe Gazette.)

Judge Mann and Mr.. Tucker, aspirants
for Governor, are Virginia gentlemen,
and both most highly qualified for this
high Office. Let us keep cool, one and
all, and try to say nothing against
either that will keep any one from
supporting the nominee of the primary.
We shall be very proud to have either
of the gentlemen for governor, and
while things just now look brighter for
Judge Mann we by no means believe
that he can defeat Tucker badly.
Let US be nice, for we have got q
Republican to defeat.

WHEN SCALPS HAD
A MARKET VALUE.
Practice Was Uncommon Until Ad
vent Of Europeans in America.

The scalping of enemies seems to
have been practice rather uncommon
in America up to the advent of the Eu-
ropean. According to a statement by
George Friederici. in the Forthcoming
Annual of the Smithsonian Institution,
it was the whites who really popula-
rized this engaging pursuit. Previously,
he asserts, all of the Indians on this
continent had been head-hunters.
The white man not only offered
prizes Of money for scalps, establish
ing a regular market for them, but
furnished knives suitable for the pur-
pose-cutting instruments, that is to
say, vastly more efficient than the
knives of shells, of stGne and of fish
tooth which had been up to that time
the best obtainable by the untutored
aborigines. The scalping knife, shaped
usually like butcher knife, soon be-
came familiar article of merchandise,
commonly sold by traders.
AS far back as 1857 the Puritans of
New England (scaiping being as yet
unknown in that part of the country
offered bounties for the heads of hos
tile Indians, large numbers of which
were brought in and duly paid for
Forty years later the colony of Con-
necticut advertised for both heads and
scalps, and, in July, 1875, the ''her-
oine," Hannah Dustin, received $3.50
and "many expressions of thanks" for
eight scalps which she had taken with
her own hands, two of them being
those of women and six of children.
Subsequently, when, in the last de-
csde of the seventeenth century, the
English fought the French, both sides
sought and paid for each others scalps
In 1855 General Braddock guaranteed
his soldiers and Indians SIS for every
trophy of the kind taken from the en-
emy; and nine years later Governor
Penn, for the State Of Pennsylvania,
offered $1S5 for every scalp of an In
dian warrior, and $50 for every scalp
of slain squaw.
During the Revolution scalping was
freely practiced on both sides, the
English paying from S8 to SIS apiece
for them as a rule. But prices some
times ran considerably higher, and at
one time the Legislature of South Car
olina promised $3.50 for every scalp of
the fighting men of the enemy. Such
methods of warfare have long been
abandoned by civilized countries, yet
in the middle of the nineteenth cen
tury the Legislatures of the North
Mexican States offered 500 for every
scalp of male Apache, $50 for that of
female and $25 for that of every
Indian child.
This state of affairs continued, in
deed, well into the eighties, the bosn-
ties for scalps being raised as high
as $500 for those of hostile warriors.
Such prices naturally attracted the
attention of adventurers, who formed
themselves into 'scalp-hunting bands,
and, as far back as 1S45, the leader
of one of these marauding parties,
whose name was Kirker, achieved such
success, through the massacre of al
ages and sexes. that the treasures OF
Sonora and Chihuahua were able te
pay him only part of the scalp money
due him.

Ravens and the Hapsburgs.

Henri de Weiddel tells the story of
the late Empress Elizabeth and the
ravens which Maurus Jokel gave in
an article at the time of her majesty's
tragic death.
Early in her life Elizabeth wrote
some verses in Hungarian on the sub
ject Of the raven, the bird of i'll omen,
which plays a great part in the his.
tory of the Hapsburgs According to
the imperial poetess a fight of ravens
was lowering over Olmutz when Fran.
els Joseph received from his uncle's
hands the crown which was destined
to intiict him with such miseries.
A raven followed Macmillan and
Charlotte on their last walk before
their departure for Mexico, and when
Maria Christina was starting to re-
ceive the crown of Spain, which was
one day to be so grievous a burden,
a raven flew over the horses heads
and accompanied the carriage to the
railway station. These incidents were
the subject of the poem.
