LISHING COMPANY. EIGHT PAGES. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST J. 1M0. For President, WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN OF NEBRASKA. For Vlcc-Presldent. ADLAI E. STEVENSON OF ILLINOIS. TO THE HARBOR COMMISSIONERS ?DON'T CHOKE THE TWIN CITIES. Tho people; of Norfolk and Ports? mouth are friendly to the Norfolk and Western Railroad. They tuke a par? donable pride in the Immense business it has built up In coal by reason of the terminal facilities given It at Lam? bert's Point. Nobody has any desire, and least of all, the Virginian-Pilot, to see the Norfolk and Western hampered in any legitimate desire or attempt to Increase its terminal facilities; but the general opinion Is that this port bits already dealt generously with the Nor? folk and Western in this mnltor, as generously as the interests of the port and the safety of Its steadily growing commeice will permit. The facts and opinions given in the Virginian-Pilot yesterday make it per? fectly elenr that it Will endanger the commerce of the Port of Norfolk and Portsmouth to allow any further ex? tension of the coal piers into Hie river at Lambert's Point. To do so would be to choke the twin-cities. With all due respect to the Norfolk and West? ern people this proposition to extend the piers not only to tho Port War? den's line, but to the channel itself, is surprising, ungrateful ami presump? tuous. It is the clear duty of the Har? bor Commissioners to make an end of this scheme, onco for all, by a prompt and positive refusal to in any way countenance or entertain It. The In? terests of this port are too great to be jeopardized by the Interests of any one enterprise. To permit the proposed extension of the piers would bo to measurably sacrifice the future of the two cities to the eonl business of the Norfolk and Western Railxcay. Even from the pofnt Of view of the Norfolk and Western, this request is Short-sighted, The commerce of this port Is growing phenomenally. It Is not by any means going to permit II Belf to be hampered very long by coal or other piers. When the channel be? comes too congested, as it is likely to do before many years, the Norfolk and "Western will have to shorten its pres? ent piers. To build further out Into the river would be sheer folly and waste of money, were the permission obtained, a contingency that we regard as to be so remote as to be negligible. It (Would be. in any case, better that the Norfolk and Western should square its policy with the best in? terests of this port in this matter of coal piers. In the long run it will bo found cheaper to build shorter piers and more of them, dredging for deeper water when necessary, thnn to push piers out into the river only to have them condemned at an enormous ex? pense to our people m the course of a few years, when they shall have be? come Insufferable obstacles to our com? merce. With the population and commerce of Norfolk, Portsmouth and Berkley Increasing 100 per cent, every ten years, what is wanted is not less, but more harbor facilities, it is the part of wis? dom, therefore, for the Norfolk and Western, and for all ather enterprises, to fall in with the expansion of our commerce, and without seeking any selfish advantage to the hurt of the port, to oh&re in the benefits of this growth by keeping the good-will of our people. And whatever prlvuto Interests may do, It Is the duty of the Harbor Commissioners to carefully guard the Interests of this port, present and fu? ture. DEMOCRATS SHOULD LOOK OUT [ FOR THE HOUSE. Pome time ago Chairman Babcock, of the Republican Congressional i';mi palgn Committee, gave out In an inter? view that Chairman Manna had told him that Republican Congressmen would have to look out for themselves. That was stuff and nonsense and was given out for a purpose easy to divine. The Republicans want every branch of the government. They were never more keen than this year. .Mr. McKin? ley does not want his hands lied by n Democratic House. Mr. Ilaana does not want his Ship Subsidy and other steals held up by u Democratic Hons!'. Hut the alms of .the Republican party carry further. They expect. If they can remain in control of every branch of the government, to entrench themselves in power for another quarter of a cen? tury. One step to this end Is to be a reduction of the South'S representation In Congress and in the Electoral Col? lege. The census, also, can he made to warrant a large increase of population In Republican Sintis of the North and West, while Democratic States will show small gains. This, with the power of place and pelf, at home and In 'the colonies," the Republicans be? lieve would be sufficient to make them masters for years to come. Congress? man Orosvenor Indirectly gave their hopes away when, in a recent paper In the North American Review, he de? clared that if Mr. Bryan were elected Ibis fall be could, under existing con? ditions, "so entrench himself in power ns to assure his re-election" four years hence. The campaign Is, therefore, n most momentous one. mid to no section so much as to the South, whose continued adherence to Democratic principles has roused in partisan Republicans all the vlndlciIv'cness of a quarter of a cen? tury ago. Having lost hope of profit? ing by the SOUth'S vote. Ihese partisans propose to make that vote ns small as possible. To ib) this, they must carry 1 the House this fall. There need bo no abatement of party efforts to islOCt Mr. Bryan. All that Is necessary Is that the CongrcsslonnI elections shall not bo lost sight of in the Presidential contest. Virginia, for example, will certainly give her Elec? toral vote to Bryan und Stevenson, but lukewnrmncss or ovor-confldcncc might lose to the Democrats several Con? gressmen, ft behooves Democrats, therefore. In every district in the State, where the vote is measurably (dose, to be UP and doing. If there be any fac? tional differences In the party they should be burled, and the Democratic nominees for Congress should receive ? he hearty and enthusiastic support cd' the full party. THE CONGRESSIONAL FIGHT. The Virginian-Pilot, lighting ever in the Interest of the party, its platform and its sacred teachings, respectfully calls the attention of the Democratic people to the importance of a strong ticket In the coming campaign. The Presidential light Is upon us. and it is the most important for many years. The wisest anil ablest journals and shrewdest politicians predict vic? tory for the party If a prudent, careful, energetic and active light be made. The nominee for Congress to be se? lected Is bound to Cither strengthen or weaken the ticket. Let a good, strong, Influential man be selected. Lei the party leaders live above any personal preference or political ??pull." and bo patriots for once in their lives. Let them forget self ami remember the Dis? trict, the State all.I Hie Country. Put up it man around whom will gather the business element and the bone and sinew of the district?if li takes a sacri? fice to do it, so much the more credit to your own position. Let us do away with every Incentive except the desire for the stlongest man, a man upon whom nil will unite und who will help the ticket instead of the ticket helping him. THE STATE PRESS. Since 1870 Virginia, it is shown, has paid .,000 for the public schools? $'.':,.0o"i(M,o i,.|- Hi,, while schools and $11. 000,000 for colored schools?and of this amount the negroes have only paid $1,500,000.- Kim til lie Herald. Well, what of it'.' Can a man pay when he has: nothing to pay with? ? ? ? The Predcrlcksburg Free Lance Is In a pardonable quandary, it says: "When, n few weeks ago, we road that that hardened old sinner, Ger onlnio, the Apache cut-thront, had donated a thousand dollars, his earn? ings at poker, tor the education of boys, wo thought something must be wrong with his constitution. Now we nro told that he has gone staik in.id. This an? nouncement does not surprise us, but we nro not enlightened ns to whether parting with bis money while on a drunk set him craxy nfter sobering up, or whether a previous lueniai goneness caused him to part with his ShCCkcls." ? * i The attitude of the Republican party towards the trusts is to us Incompre? hensible, a question past Unding out. What do they meanV?Hampton Moni? tor. Well. well. Sonny, where have you been for the past four years? ? ? ? The Richmond correspondent of the Petersburg Index-Appeal remarks: "It is probable that Republican Na? tional Committeejiian George E. Bow den and two or three of the other lead? ing members of his party wiil call upon Chairman Hannn within the next few days and ascertain hi--- wishes with reference to the campaign In Virginia. It Is known In advance of their culling Hint Mr. llannu thinks it would he money and time thrown away to seek to carry Virginia for McKinley, but lie y/Ill, it is believed, encourage the Re? publicans In their efforts to carry four Congressional districts. Tliose who are likely to accompany Mr. Bowden to ?co Mr. Hanno are state Chairman Park ?j^rnew, General James A. Walker and 37 Brown Allen." Where will Hon. Richard A. Wise be when this pilgrimage Is taking place? He will not be along. Where will he be when after the pilgrimage? He will be in the midst of a deep and inscrutable fix. The g. o. p. is having trouble with Its innards hereabouts. ? ? ?

' Wo hear much from the mouthpieces of syndicates, trusts and aristocracy about "arraying the masses against Capital."
