The Orleans Museum has just been en-
riched with curious relic of the past
which some workmen In making eXcava-
lions in the city came across. 1t is q
stone representing grinning figure,
showing the teeth, the countenance being
repellant enough. In this way the To-
quaciouS woman. the dalmOnger, was
brought to her senses. The stone, Sus-
pended by chain, was placed round her
neck. and so accou:ered, she was COM
PEELED to walk round the town in which
she lived. The stone is supposed TO date
about the sixteenth century. Our French
friends are fond of calculations SO If one
stone We're sufficient for town three
centuries ago. the problem suggests it,
self. how many such Instruments of tor
ture would be necessary today to deal
with the unruly members Of the fair sex?

The above is copy of circular ad-
dress issued by Mr.. Stuart in 1901, while
he was member of the Constitutional
convention. The Republicans were
then asserting, on the stump and
through the newspapers, that the new
suffrage laws that were being framed
by the Democrats would disfranchise
thousands of the white men. These
were the Misrepresentation" which
Mr.. Stuart undertook to contradict
publicly"
The Republicans were also asserting
that the new constitution would be pro-
claimed and not submitted to the people
for ratification or rejection. Mr.. Stu
art did not at that time try to contra
dict publicly this assertion of the Re-
pubiicans; but Senator Daniel, in a
speech at Wytheville, did denounce it as
"a Republican lie" Perhaps, Mr.. Stu
art then knew that it was the intention
of the partisan Democrats in the con-
vention to frame such constitution as
they would not dare to submit even to
the white electorate. But, eight or
nine months before the usurpers forced
hateful constitution on the people, we
find that Doctor Stuart was compound
ing his medicine" to cure the "sick
man. and kill the well man." Then
he was making the same false appeals
to the people to cover the sins that were
to be committed by him and his associ-
ates in the convention-threaten ne

Docs the Roanoke Times see the point?
Our Roanoke contemporary makes
loud professions of favor for clean poll
tics and honest elections. Will you OBJ
ject to answering a few questions, Mr..
Times, to give US opportunity to judge
of the sincerity of these professions?
You propounded some questions to US
short time ago and we answered them
promptly and frankly. Now answer
ours.
LIST. Do you believe the election laws,
the suffrage laws and the registration
laws embodied in the new constitution
are non-partisan and fair?
End. Do you approve of the refusal
of the Democrats in the Constitutional
Convention to give the minority party
one member of the Electoral Board in
each county and city?
Bird. Do you approve of the denial to
the Republicans of the right to select
the men who shall act as Judge for the
Republican party at elections, and the
refusal to give the Republicans one of
the two clerks of elections?
4th. Do you approve of the provis-
ion which forbids the General Assembly
from providing ballots with a distin-
gushing mark or symbol, one that can
be voted safely by any man of ordinary
intelligence and education?
5th. Do you approve of the intrica-
cies with which the payment of the poll
taxes as a prerequisite to registration
and voting is surrounded?
9th. Do you approve of the despotic
power that is given registrars to refuse
registration to applicants, and the re-
mote and expensive means provided the
rejected applicant for an appeal?
18th. Do you approve of the provision
which authorizes registrars TO purge the
registration books?
sth. Will you defend and approve
the redistricting measure which de-
formed and outraged the Fifth District?

WILL REVISE THE TARIFF.

Hon. Champ Clark, the windy states
man and Democratic leader in the House
OF Representatives, spoke to Tammanv
hall IN New York on the Fourth of in.
ly' Among the interesting things he
said was, that if the Democrats got
control of the next Congress thew would
revise the tariff. Fortunately. that
II IS about as significant as another
very noted IF" We hardly think the
people will want another Democratic
revision of the tariff. Certainly not
those who lived or tried to live under
the last so-called Democratic revision.
All this Democratic talk about the
enormities of the Payne-Aldricb tariff
law is but repetition of what was said
about the Mckinley law in 1892 The
high cost of living" the Glow vaoes
paid the working man," the fostering
OF trusts" and the destruction of our
foreign trade" were tunes constantly
played by the Democratic hurdy-gurdy's
In 1SO2. These tunes sound awfully ia
mlllar and ridiculous now. The Same
tunes were played by the Democrats
after the Dingley tariff law was made
"Oh. don't you remember Sweet Alice
Ben Bolt
Inc funny thing is that the very fell
lows who play these tunes have pros-
pered and grown fat under the tariff
laws they are now denouncing. They
are, in many instances, the fellows who
have to sell the very food-stuffs that
make the cost of living high, and it
would be the same as pulling out their
'neart-strings to force them to sell at
the prices that prevailed under the last
Democratic tariff. Then, these are the
same fellows who growl and complain
about having to pay the farm laborer
Sl.25 os $3.50 day for his work. Thew
are anxious to go back to that 65 cents
day wage scale that existed under the
Democratic tariff and when men begged
them for jobs at IS cents, or less, for
days work. There are no beggars for
jobs now, and none of the Democratic
farmers want to see the prices of their
products lowered.

which Mr.. Stuart pledged that any
white man, no matter how poor or lift
crate, could and should register. That
clause is as follows:
"a person able to read any section of
this constitution submitted to him bv
the officers of registration and to give a
reasonable explanation of the same, or,
II unable to read such section, able to
understand and give a reasonable ex-
PLANTATION thereof when read to him by
the officers
This clause invested the registration
boards with dangerous power of dis
erection, which, in the hands of corrupt
partisans, was freely exercised. Mr..
Wysor, of Pulaski, was a member of
the suffrage committee, and refused to
sign the majority report that contained
the understanding clause" In a mi
nority report, Mr.. Wysor said:
why should the industrial class, con-
stituting as it does the great mass of
the citizens, be required to understand
more than the soldier, or the man who
owns or whose wife owns property to
the value of $3.50? 1t is evident that
this understanding clause, if honestly
administered, will disfranchise thous-
ands of white men. l cannot give my
assent to provision which will disfran-
chise so many of my fellow citizens"
Here is contemporaneous interpre-
tation of the understanding clause"
that has been indicated as to sound
ness by the havoc wrought upon the
white electorate. Mr.. Wysor might
have added to his remarks: eff dis
honestly administered las it was) the
understanding clause will disfranchise
tens Of thousands white men,"
But Mr.. Stuart declared that any
white man could register under the
clause, land with characteristic earn
estness he said: IF he fails to register
l want him TO come to me and tell me
the reason why" There are hundreds
of white men in Tazewell county who
can tell Mr.. Stuart why they were re-
fused registration under the under
standing clause. They were rejected
by the registration boards which Mr..
Stuart selected for Tazewell county, as
the privilege of naming the boards for
this county was denied MIR. Gillespie.
the member from Tazewell, and was
placed in the hands of Mr., Stuart, the
member from Russell.

gro equality and supremacy. Tie same
song was sung by Mr.. Stuart in his
speech at Lebanon on the 9Th of Nav.
1902, when he was requested to vote
for proclamation.
The above circular address closes with
these unverified and unfulflled pledges:
"The convention will regulate suf-
TRACE In the interest of the white race.
1t Will lower your taxes. 1t will pro-
vide for election laws which will be ac-
ceptable to right minded white men of
all parties"
The suffrage has been regulated in
the interest of the "office-holder's
trust" and political brigands,' the
men who paid for and accepted the re-
suits that came from the election crimes
that prevailed for twenty years in vir-
ginia before the Few constitution was
put in force.
Taxes have not been lowered. Upon
the contrary, a movement was started
IN the Democratic Legislature last win
ter to put the tax payers of the Ninth
district at the mercy of partisan asses
sors and a partisan Auditor. Even now
the assessors are abroad with instruc-
lions to advance the assessed value of
lands to the extent of twenty or twenty
five per cent.
The election laws which Mr.. Stuart
and his Democratic colleagues provided
are too partisan and unfair to be a.
ceptable to any right minded man of
any party.

HATES HYPOCRISY AND INCONSISTENCY.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Roa-
noke Times, in column editorial, has
discussed the full measure of the n.y.
pocrisy and Inconsistency of the secular
press in its treatment of the Jeffries-
johnson prize fight. With virtuous
gush of indignation our contemporary
quotes from Walter Scott's "wood-
stock" ''the very wine tastes OF n.y.
pocrisy." The Times declares:
I'VE hate hypocrisy. We hate incon-
sistency. We feel ashamed of our trade
when we see newspapers jumping about
like so many painted supple jacks, TAX
ing any kind of absurd position for
which some supposed public sentiment
jerks the string"
A very noble sentiment and very gal
lantly expressed. But if it is proper to
apply such exalted sentiment to an ordi-
nary brutal prize fight, should it not
have application to things political, es-
pecially where a republican form of
government is supposed to exist and
where the people are proclaimed to be
the sovereign power?
Does our Roanoke contemporary, and
does the Democratic press in Virginia,
hate hypocrisy and hate inconsistency
in politics? If so, why have you and
why do you so love political hypocrites
and political painted supple-jacks? And
why do you uphold, defend and continue
to help foist upon the people for re-
sponsible and honorable official positions

THE REASON why?


In its account of Mr.. Stuart's speech
of the 9th of May, 1902, the Lebanon
News said:
This is the first time that Mr.. Stuart
has appeared on the rostrum in the role
of public speaker
Judging from what the News report
ed MIR. Stuart as saying, there can be
but little doubt that it was his first eff
fort at political speaking. No trained
thinker or speaker would have made
the reckless statements he uttered, not
a single one of his statements having
been sustained by subsequent results or
conditions.
Last week we said something about
the wonderful prescription that Doctor
Stuart and his associates had compound
ed to administer to the white sick man
in the negro belt and to the we'll white
man in the white districts. Now we
will call attention to the announced an
tidote, the understanding clause"
which Doctor Stuart declared would pre-
serve the life of the well man from the
deadly effect of the Knockout drops.
Here is what the Lebanon News re-
ported:
He explained the understanding
clause, and declared that any white
man who could register under the law
as it is today can register under the
new constitution, and with charac-
teristic earnestness he said: IF HE
FAILS TO REGISTER I WANT HIM
TO COME TO ME- AND TELL ME THE
REASON WHY"
The old law for registering and voting
was as follows:
Every male citizen of the United
States, twenty-one years old, who shall
have been a resident of this State
twelve months, and of the city or town
in which he shall offer to vote, three
months next preceding any election,
shall be entitled to vote upon all ques-
tons submitted to the people at such
election"
Idiots and lunatics, and persons con-
victed of bribery in any election, en-
bezzlement of public funds, treason or
felony, and persons who had been con-
nected with duel were excluded from
voting.
So, any white man who wished to reg
lister had only to establish the fact that
he had been a resident of the State one
year and of the county or city three
months, and that he did not belong to
that class of persons who were excluded
from voting. Nothing difficult about
registering under the old law.
But Mr.. Stuart declared to the people
on the 9th of May, 1902, that: "any
white man who can register under the
law as it is today can register usder the
new constitution" Let's see how true
is his declaration.
The new law requires a residence of
two years in the State and one year in
the county or city. And it says that
the citizen having the qualifications of
age and residence shall be entitled to
register, if he be a person who served
in the United States army or navy or of
the Confederate States, or a person
who owns property upon which for the
year next preceding that in which he
offers to register has paid State taxes
one dollar.

There is prospect that in the pres
ent judicial campaign in Tennessee
United States Senator Bob TAYLOR and
his brother, ALI, who were pitted
against each other for the governorship
a number of years ago, may again fight
over 1.-THE war of the roses" as that
hight was called. Senator Taylor has
come out for the Patterson administra-
ton ticket for judicial positions. in
spite of the advice of his friends to keen
out Of the fight, and will open the cam
paign at Jonesboro this week. His
brother, ALT, will take the stump for
the insurgent democratic judicial ticket
and it is possible that the two brothers
may soon get into a joint discussion of
the issues involved. Bob has ali the
while been an uncompromising demo-
crat, while ALI, who served one term in
Congress, has been just as much the
other way, remaining true to his Re-
publican convictions from childhood.
and will make his opening speech at
Enzaoethton on tomorrow, the fifteenth

LATER. Senator Taylor has just Civ
en- out a statement in which he with
draws his promise to stump the State
for the Patterson ticket, and declares
he Will not infiict his advice where it is
not wanted in an attempt to heal the
great breach which the liquor question
and the assassination of Edward w.
Carmack have brought about in the
Democratic ranks. He sees in the al
lance of the anti-Patterson Democrats
and Republicans. the utter demolition of
the Patterson forces, and has, there
fore determined to heed the writing of
the hand on the wall.
