"Pay what thou owest," is com mand which if more generally obeyed would change the conditions of so- ciety It is queer that not few per- sons think it is possible to be pious and to be redeemed without paying heed to this just decree. It is includ- ed in that memorable order Pay unto Caesar that which Is Caesars and unto God that which is Gods" Some peo- pie do not appear to realize that there are personal debts and moral debts, both of which need Hquidating. There are debts which money cannot pay, but which an honest and appreciative heart may. Our debts are not all of commercial nature; and l am afraid that the debt which never can get into the sheriff's hands is the one which we are most negligent of. It is barely possible that some persons do not re- alize how much they owe to their fel- lows for their comforts and honors in life. Pay what thou owest'' means more than some think.

An Irish fellow citizen who was dis. appointed at not seeing the flag of Ire- land upon the strings of flags repre- senting all nations, stopped a profes- sional gentleman and inquired if he could tell why the Irish flag was no. among them. He said he could. The national flags represent organized gov ernments-the Irish and the Hebrews have flags dear to their hearts. but they have no organized governments. and in this sense have no nation of their own, hence the flag has no place there The Irishulan was satisfied with this explanation, which explained, and had nothing more to say. But I like these people who have lost their na- tfonal powers, but who love their flas and cherish a racial hope. They keep their hearts warm with the fire which wins

THE MAN WHO TALKS

Two hundred and fifty years puts Norwich among the ancients of this great republic. While this is a truth and is so real to us, 1t makes Pekin smile and Rome wink its eye. America is the infant among nations, If IL |. a giant that has accomplished more in two and half centuries than they did in many ages--it is only a child to them. Norwich was born before all the Pilgrim fathers had passed away, and 1t harks back to the creaking sails and the footsteps on Plymouth rock like one to the manor born. The sturdy blood and brain which sustained that famous band of pioneers has in- fiuenced all who came after them. The whole map of the earth has changed since Mason selected this beauty spot for his home and the nations have been liberalized, the people made freer and happier and the tyrants put under restraint. Two and a half centuries ago Charles II had just come to the throne, and since then England has had twelve sovereigns. It is a span of time in whichssix generations of peo- pie have passed from the earth and the seventh has only nine years more to stay. In 1859 New England was wilderness and Hadley, Mass, was an outpost between New England and Canada.

1.-THE INCOME TAX.

Mr.. Rock efeller says an ircome tax
gerges on highway robbery 1t is the
old story, no thief ever felt the halter
draw with good opinion of the law. ~
A two per cent. tax on j. d. would
mean some 5000, 600 out Of his jeans
each year and as the shoe would pinch
he winces even before feeling the pres
sure. And Rockefeller could draw that
check with as much ease as he could
write one for ten dollars and feel as
much the loss of the one amount as
the other, while the farmer who pays
a ten dollar tax does it at actual eX-
penditure of muscle and of mind.
And then the oil king having paid his
tax has nothing to do but turn the
screws on the people and make them
pay back while the farmer has to dig
for the next ten as he had dug for the
first. And why tax people at all Is
il not that the Government may in turn
protect them in the possession and en-
ioyment of those things they call their
own? And doesn't the millionaire en-
10Y larger share of protection than
does the poor man Withdraw the
strong arm of the law and Rockefeller S
millions would melt away as frost be-
fore the rising sun. If the rich folks
of the nation are not to pay their full
share of the taxes let it be understood
that in the event of another war they
will be sent to the front to do all the
fighting. Great Britain has had its in
come tax for l25 years, and we are told
that during the past year the revenue
from this source amounted to $l65, 600, e.
600, and from a population amounting
to 40, 900, 900. Let Uncle Sam collect
in the same proportion and the old
gentleman will increase his annual in
come by more than three hundred mil
lion. France has recently enacted an
income tax law and there is no more
righteous enactment on the pages OF
her statues. But Rockefeller says
nay" and so does Morgan, and so
does Gould, ct idomne. " The peo-
pie demand it, but lest you forget "
what Vanderbilt the first said of the
people we repeat-'D-n the people"
and so say the successors.

JUDGE MANN OUR STANDARD
BEARER.

After a spirited canvass, IN wllch
there was no one dull nor dry fea-
ture. the Democrats of Virginia have
DESIGNATED the Hon. VIM. Hodges
Mann. of our sister county, OF Motto
wav. as their standard bearer for the
coming fight. He is veteran OF many
a political struggle on State and Ma
ton battle ground, in all of which he
has borne himself with commendable
chivalry and courage. and it is with
supreme confidence in his ability to
lead to victory and then to serve the
Commonwealth fearlessly faithfully
and ably that the flag has been COM
mitted to his keeping The family
Ratchet has been buried and no longer
division exists in the ranks Of Virginia
Democrats. We are all Mann men
from this time on, and the command
er may rely upon the united forces
with the confidence with which Napo-
leon leaned upon the strong arm and
looked to the unflinching courage OF
the old Guard. " Win in November?
OF course we will, and not that we
love Mann less but Virginia more.

THE HERALD IN THE CANVASS.

The Herald took no part in the pri-
mary contest and now has nothing to
take back. This has been its course
whenever Democrat has met Demo
crat on the field of battle, and for this
we have no apology to offer and feel
none of the pangS Of regret. We had
our choice and expressed it fearlessly
open and above board at the primary,
but now that the Democrats OF Vlr-
ginia have spoken we too will speak
the language Of the tribe, - their choice
is our choice Man and wife may
have the right to quarrel, though we
sincerely regret that apparent neces-
sity for this unseemly conduct should
ever exist, but woe be to the outsider
who is rash enough to interfere and
make war on either.
The Republicans at Washington
have been stealing Democratic thunder
right along, and the Republicans of
Virginia may indulge in the pastme Ct
hurting Democratic epithets used in
tie heat of contest between Demo-
Gratis and il will be as idle and as
ineffective as though they flung straws
in the face of a tornado.
We have never contended for Dem
ocratic infallibility, but we have urged
and do urge with the vehemence Of
Of intensest conviction that the one
hope of Nirginia's peace and prosper
ity is TO be found in the continuation
OF Democratic control in the affairs Of
the Commonwealth and Of the coun-
ties of which it is composed. Better
bear the ills we have. than fly to
those with which a distressing expe-
rience has made us all too familiar.
There may be many good Republi-
cans reckoned with, as individuals,
but the principles of the Republican
party have in them nothing Of good
for Virginia
Our hand and heart for the Demo-
cratic ticket which has been named by
the Democrats of Virginia.

Washington, Aug. 4-The complete
collapse of all important opposition to

When the senate met the lack of in

agreement on the part of western san
ators to vote upon the conference re
port and to correct the hide and leath
or schedule by means Of a concurrent
resolution to be acted upon sepa
rately.
The form OF the concurrent resolu
ton was agreed upon in an informal
conference In Senator Aldrich's com
mittee room. Instructions are given
bv this resolution 10 the enrolling
clerks of the senate and house 10
change the language Of the proviso
reducing duties on boots and shoes
and harness.
The change will make dutiable at
10 per cent boots and shoes, the upper
leather OF which is made wholly or in
chief value from the hides or skins OF
cattle. including calf skins. A similar
change will be made in relation TO har
ness. saddles and saddlery.
The effect OF the amendment Is IA
make the reduced duties on boots and
shoes and harness and saddlery apply
10 such articles as are composed Of
leather from the hides and skins OF
cattle and calf skins, instead Of con
fining the reductions 10 articles made
from hides which have hitherto been
dutiable The range Of the reduction
is greatly increased. The suggestion

The appended tables. which have

new rates on commodities consumed
by the United States.
The tables are based on consump

in all cases where the amount OF pro

for a decrease in duties on articles
valued at nearly 5,0O0,OO0,00O- In
