massed along the international bour-
Diary, and Colonel Stee ,er. cammand-
ing the Fourth United States Cavalry,

and General Navarro against firing

a retreat, but it was believed 6rhting
would be resumed.
A full translation of General Diaz'
manifesto was issued at the capital. in
which the President saia he never
would resign until assured that the

Governor Swanson.

Editorial-Lypchburg News, Feb
ruary 2, 1910.
Governor Swanson leaves the office
of Governor with the Consciousness
that in the discharge of an exalted
trust Re has earned the ''well done' OF
his people, and that they give it him
without stint and give in measure full
and in spirit earnest and sincere. No
prouder reward than this can q pub
lie servant we'll coyet-certainly no
n BED of honor greater than this, can a
people bestow. In few-a very few
instances, il may have so happened
that The News did not q gree with the
views and acts of the retiring Execu-
tive. But, bearing these rare oc-
casions of difference in view, we have
observed much to applaud in the en-
ergy, the untiring industry, and the
requirements of his Office. The best
wishes of this newspaper follow the
n w Ex-Governor, as he lays down
the burden of high civic obligation
with which the Virginia electorate
honored him four years since, and
seeks a season of we'll deserved rest
and relation"

HOW prAz WOULD SAVE MEXICO.


Mexico City, May S.-An authori-
tative English translation by the
agent of Finance Minister Limantour
of Pres i'd ent Diaz's manifesto, is as
follows:
''If the demand of the revolutionists
that the President and cVice-Presi-
dent of the republic should resign in
the midst of the present difficulties and
this we're to be allowed, it would ex-
pose the nation to all the contin-
gencies and danger of new elections,
which, according to the constitutional
provisions, would have to be held at
once, while political passions are in
effervescence and before order could
be re-established throughout the re-
public.
again, to fix given date for the
designations would involve the same
drawbacks, seeing that it is impossi-
BILE to foresee when the Disturbances
will end, and what is still worse, such
course would impair the prestige
and authority of the nations chief at
the very time when those qualities are
most needed to buttress the political
situation, of which the mainstays are
the sound sense OF our people and the
attitude of the army, whose brave and
exemplary conduct has been source
of pride to the republic.
SIT is not, therefore, sentiment of
personal vanity that led the President,
to whom power has become more than
ever burden of bitter contraritles
and immense responsibilities to refuse
to yield to the demand of the insur.
gents. No, it is duty, the supreme
duty of bringing back the country to
the sway of law and order at any
sacrifice, including that of his life, if
necessary. The President of the re-
public, who thus has the honor of ad-
dressing the Mexican people at these
solemn moments, will, let there be no
doubt, retire from power when his
conscience tells him that he can do so
without giving over the country to
anarchy, and he will then retire in the
dignified manner which the nation has
right to expect and TO which he him
self is entitled-a ruler who may have
made many mistakes, but who has
also fought in the defense of his
country and has served her with loyal
devotion. The failure of the peace
negotiations will perhaps entail re-
newal and aggravation of revolution
airy activity.
ST, unfortunately, such should be
the case, the Government on its side
will redouhle its efforts, relying on
the loyalty of our heroic army to quell
the rebellion in the country; but in
order promptly and efficaciously to
ward off the dangers which threaten
our social fabric and the peoples
patriotism and co operating efforts,
1t feels that it has that support and
with it is confident of saving the ma
ton. PoRFIRIo DIAZ.

Cost Of The Primary.

There are four candidates in the
Senatorial race in Virginia, and each
one of them must pay up $4,000 as an
entrance fee in the primary. That
sum of money must be planked down,
whether or not, add then comes the
cost Of the campaign, clerk hire, rent
Of headquarters, campaign literature,
postage, travelling expenses and
heaven knows what.
1t simply means that the poor man
is shut out of the running.

ferent from the Jetfersonian kind

An Unheard-0f Proceeding.

On last Monday committee, com

districts of this county, waited upon
Mr.. J. G. Hutchison, County Treas
urer, and demanded that they be per-
mitted to examine his books to ascer-
tain who had qualified as voters by
the payment of their poll tax. Was
this necessary? Is not Mr.. Hutcheson
a sworn officer? Has he failed in his
duty in this matter in the past so as
to warrant suspicion that he would
fail in his duty at this time?
This action is a serious reflection
upon Mr.. Hutcheson and if UNIV arant-
ed by the facts he should refute it

FRIDAY MAY II. 1911.
A HANDICAP TO DEMOCRACY.

The recent announcement that it Will
cost %, 600 to ask permission to run
for the U. S. Senate In Virginia Is
rather staggering to the falth tna'
some of us have had that this is
d smocratic commonwealth. We had
fondly dreamed that this was the land
and this the time when every intelll-
gent, capable citizen had chance not
, only for service to his country, but
also to the higher places CT honor.
But now, is it TO laugh or is it to
mourn? Only the rich can be Sena-
tors. Only the rich can ask permits
sion to ask 70 be Senator 1t costs
5000 to ask permission OF the people
to ask the legislature to vote for you.
You must take two chances. The first
one NAV be the main chance, but 1t
costs $4,000. A poor man cannot pay
for the chance: ergo, poor man can
not have q chance to ask chance to
be Senator.
Is this as democratic as we should
like TO have it? 1t looks very mnch
to us like there is Just little danger
that we may soon have an aristocracy
of wealth in the Senatorial seats at
this rate. We have known for some
time-we are told frequently-that
only a rich man can represent his be-
loved nation at foreign capitals; and
once in a while we have the fact OBJ
jectified in resignation of some am
bassador erstwhile supposed to be
rich. 1t may be hard for rich man
to enter heaven, but in the race for
togas, no less than in the race for
embassies, the poor man SENS to be
somewhat handicapped.
And yet We have no quarrel with the
rich man as such. We only fear
have feared for some time past-that
there may be something twisted in the
d ear old assurance that merit is
b Dund to win. Must we submit to
b initiating discovery that merit plus
$1,000 may possibly be given chance
to win-possibly not ? and that no
m crit, how graf soever, minus S., 600,
will be give any chance to win? We
blush 20 acknowledge the suspicion;
but the logic, of the case, not to speak
OF the arithmetic, is so cold that it
gives US the shivers.
The primary idea in the primary
plan is gloriousl y democratic: we JOY
ia it; but shall we allow the most
democratic institution we have to be
perverted by principle that is not
olly aristocratic but also plutocratic?
Again we aver that we have no prelu-
dices against wealth as such, no i'm
plicit devotion to poverty: but we do
believe that in democracy the citizen
OF ability and merits even though
poor, ought to have an equal chance
for office with his rich neighbor whose
ability and merits are not superior
We know that not ali men are not
born equal; but men that are equal il
the eternal powers should have equal
chances for service and honor. Let
MS not put an unn ecessary handicap
on democracy.
How to avoid this handicap now in
evidence may or may not be difficult
question. One would suppose that
every loyal party man would be glad
to pay few cents annually into his
party treasury, in order that they
might also be heard, even though his
rich brother speaks. John w. Way-
land in Harrisonburg News.

WOOL CONFERENCE
TO Be HELD TO-DAY
Prompt Agreement Expected
by Leaders in Congress.

The Senate yesterday agreed to a con-
ference with the House on the Under
wood-La Toilette wool bill. Conferees
were appointed by each House. They
will hold their first meeting tomorrow.
Most of the leaders in Congress believe
that a prompt agreement will be reached.
1t was the opinion around the Senate yes
terday that the conferees would report a
bill carrying approximately Is per cent
on raw wool and corresponding duties on
the manufactures of wool. If this
should not meet the favor Of the Sem
ate the conferees wouiu then probably
agree on 80 per cent on raw wool and cor
responding duties on wool manufactures.
It is believed that there would be diff
Guilty in passing through the Senate
bill carrying a duty lower than 80 per
cent on raw wool. 1t IS known that Sem
ator La Toilette had difficulty in lining
up his insurgent followers for a duty
as low as 30 per cent. When the COM
promise bill passed the Senate carrying
35 per cent on raw wool, it was with the
understanding that 80 per cent would be
the basis of the compromise.
Senator Penrose, chairman Of the
Finance Committee Of the Senate and
one Of the Senate conferees, expressed
the opinion that spfeuy dsfeeihen'
would be reached by the conferees. He
predicted that the bill would go to the
President not later than Saturday night.
The farmers free list bill will occasion
less controversy than the wool bill. Both
measures will undoubtedly go to the
President.
The cotton bill will probably fail by
being sidetracked. 1t Is the expectation
of the Southern Democratic Senators
that the bill will; be referred to the
Committee on Finance with instruction
to hold hearings on the measure and
report to the regular session.
