Judge Mann has been flaying Harry Tucker alive, we are told—when Harry was many miles away. The Judge had ample opportunity to flay him the first time they met at Warwick Court House. Reports of that encounter tell of flying epidermis, but the epiderm was not Harry's. Again, Judge Mann went to Christiansburg, cocked and primed to entirely obliterate poor Har ry. But his friends—Job had friends — every candidate has friends—his friends did not believe in joint debate between persons of the same party,and they would not permit it. Judge Mann was in the hands of his friends. If there had been any possibility of the Judge skinning Harry alive, we are not altogether prepared to believe the friends would have figured so largely. But let us pass the Christiansburg in cident for a moment at least. Lets look at the Bath county meeting. We hear that Judge Mann is trying to cre ate the impression that Harry entirely crawfished at that meeling, and would not have any joint debate there. The Judge certainly must be misquoted. In the first place Mr. Tucker could not re fuse a joint debate with Judge Mann on any forum where they were both present. Should he do so now after his repeated challenges, he would be down and out for the rest of the campaign. It has been Judge Mann and his friends only who have decried against joint discussions, they, and they only, are those who have seen harm to the party. Strange they should have looked so much at party and not at the success of their candidate. If Judge Mann were making a door mat of Harry in the joint debates, is there any individ ual here or elsewhere who would tell Judge Mann to let up, if he were a Mann supporter ? Well hardly. But Judge Mann in his decimation of Mr. Tucker in a speech a few days ago, in which he pointed to the "mis erable failure" as he termed it, of the Jamestown Exposition, and laid the failure at the door step of Mr. Tucker, went too far. He got outside the bounds of truth, and having gotten there all he said was injurious more to himself than to Mr. Tucker. A wrong premises al ways must lead to a wrong conclusion, and a statement not based on fact must be untruthful all the way through. The News-Leader says it was about as proper to charge Mr. Tuckar with the failure of the Jamestown Exposition as to charge Judge Mann with stealing the poll books when the Judge was elected to the senate some years ago. The comparison is very apt. The charge by Judge Mann, so unreasonable, and so misleading, and so removed from the facts, has wonderfully strengthen ed Mr. Tucker in the country around Norfolk, indeed the statement has lost him no friends anywhere, and a few more statements of similar import and to the same effect, and the Organiza tion had better prepare an address for the Judge, one entirely canonical and orthodox, and see that he sticks strictly to the manuscript, otherwise there is going to be trouble in the old land yet. ♦-♦ ♦ ♦■ -• —■ Eighteen Democrats have voted with the Republicans on most all of the important tariff measures. This about wipes out all differences between the parties, and writes the Democrats of the past including Grover Cleveland down as the most driveling idiots that ever were allowed to go at large. MR. ALDRICH AND THE TRUSTS. The tariff legislation in Congress drags on with every test vote in favor of Mr. Aldrich who is championing the trusts and combines. There is the unqualified statement it is true that Mr. Aldrich is simply a Senator who is endowed with principles, which com pel him to the theory of protective tar iff upon every article, large or small, visible or invisible, tangible or intang ible, existing or to be created, honest or dishonest, law abiding or criminal. That he is one of the few men in the country who possesses that power of divination which enables him to see the destruction that would come to every industry in this country were it not supported and guarded by a pro tective tariff, and being that peculiar sert of person—half man, half angel— he is placed by a constituency a little lower than the angels of course, in the United States Senate, where he can and does guard precious interests which but for him would be swept from earth. It is needless to recall that not one substance from "quebracho" down or up, as the case may be, but would perish from earth, were it not for this guardian angel and a "staff" of lesser guardian angels, which this —we may term—mighty arch angel, is able to cajole, coerce, or otherwise keep about him during this onset now being made by the enemies of the Lord's anointed. All this greatness and wisdom in Mr. Aldrich are commendable. It has not pleased the creator to thus endow all men. Many got one talent only, whilst others were entrusted with ten. Some got none at all. But nature in making men has never yet failed to implant in them a certain amount, and we believe an almost equal amount ot human na ture This is the only element or qual ity that seems to have been distributed with almost absolute equality, Mr. Aldrich has his share In having it he cannot divorce the opinion existing in the average human mind, that other things beside statesmanship figure in his tariff fight. A paid attorney could not fight more zealously than Mr. Aid rich for the Sugar Trust, to say nothing of the others. A hired man never la bored over work so perspiringly. No c assassin employed to remove a disa greeable person ever went more stealth- I ily about his undertaking, and if re- c ports be true he has actually entered l into a secret combine with certain hire lings of the Senate to cut off debate I and place upon the Senate the cloture rule which has been, and is now con- j sidered so odious by those composing j that body that they have never allowed J it to obtain there for a moment. This bit of intrigue on the part of Mr. Aid- j rich, which Sunny Jim Sherman lifted i in part from his—Aldrieh's—shoulders > the other day by assuming responsibil- j ity for the reading clerk's swift calling of the roll and Mr. Aldrieh's swifter I answer to his name—has by no means 1 elevated the champion of trusts in pub- j lie opinion, or in the opinion of his | associates. 1 Having in him that human nature j planted iv every breast the public is , beginning to believe that public good . has little to do with Mr. Aldrieh's con- i duct in the tariff issue. They rather J believe it is private gain. Just how Mr. Aldrich will be or is now reward- J ed for his ferocious fight for trusts i over the people,is hidden from the pub- ' lie, but that all the zeal he has shown ( all the work to save his favorites, is for the country's good, will never be be- i lieved. The public will not change its I opinion, nor believe differently though j Mr. Aldrich should hold up his hands | and call on God to witness that he has i no motive that is not as pure as the ' beautiful snow, and no interest save '. that of doing the most good to the , most people. Indeed they would hard- I ly believe though one rose from the dead. He is regarded as the paid agent, , the hired man, the handy man, and if needs be the flunkey of corporations, who goes about at their bidding, per forms their dirty work, and receives their encomiums of well done thou good and faithful servant. What other thing he receives is between them and him. Judge Mann was not present to save the day at Petersburg in the wet and dry election last week. This is the sec ond attack on Petersburg in which Judge Mann is not reported as partici pating. * % m > * PORTRAITS IN THE COURT HOUSE. The county court of this county has within a few years past built an im posing, and suitable court house. It ■ was long needed and when it came it met the demands of the large and pros i perous community which caused its construction. But whilst the building i in its dimensions and arrangements is s of high order, the court has gone fur - ther than to leave it the mere work ; shop of the courts. It has a pleasing ; exterior, but the court has be , gun in a way to add to the 3 pleasure of its interior. In doing this 2 it has requested the portaits of distin i guished judges who presided from time - to time over the courts of this county, , as well as of the distinguished members t of the bar. These have been coming . and are being placed in position as the s friends can have them prepared, and c very recently acquisitions have been i made which will further aid not only j in tending to bind the past to the ever s present, but which will remind the i. existing generation that they are not c the Alpha and Omega of the human 1 race; that before they were, there were i men, and that no great race has or will . ever be born without an ancestry of 1 which it is worthy, t Recently a splendid portrait of the r Hon. A. H. H. Stuart was added to the 1 existing collection. Those who knew . Mr. Stuart cannot but feel that he 5 should speak from the canvas, so life- I like does he appear. The same may be 5 said of Judge Wm. McLaughlin, whose j portrait was earlier placed there, as 1 well as others. Last week another portrait was hung among those already in place. This was 1 that of Capt. Robert L. Parrish. Capt. ; Parrish was a resident of Covington, ' but his large practice brought him so ; often here that he seemed a part of our " awn bar, and his portrait among those 1 who are there hangs in fitting position " not only because of its appropriateness by reason of his long practice at this bar, but because by his varied and i splendid accomplishments,his learning as a lawyer, his zeal as an advocate,his [ wisdom as a councellor, his courtliness as a gentleman, his loyalty as a friend, ' and his sturdy and incorruptible man hood. These placed him in such com ' pany when living. It well befits him to continue in it when dead. The portrait is very life-like, and those who knew him irresistably find themselves mov ed almost to addressing him. The por trait was the gift to the county of Mr. Robert L. Parrish, his son, who has taken his father's place at the bar. The work is that of our Staunton artist, Mr. H. L. Wegner. Others are in course of preparation and will be add ed to the collection, notably those of Judges Fultz and Sheffey. A TRICK. Mr. Aldrich is being severely criticiz ' ed for suppressing a report from Ger many which showed that German la borers in many avocations are paid better wages than in the same lines in . America. This was not to Mr. Ald rieh's liking, so he pigeon holed it. After being smoked out he called the i report "impertinent," but it wasshown that during the consideration of the Dingley bill many such reports were i used. Then when there was no further i corner for Mr. Aldrich to hide in, he i agreed to have the report translated as it is in the German language. Any one as familiar with the "Dutch stand i ard" as he, ought not to need an inter- I preter, as he can make it plain. s Since logs can come in free under the : Dingley bill and under the Aldrich bill we fail to see where the man who owns : the trees gets any benefit under the lumber tariff. 1 Rev. Dr. Cannon speaking of the re sult in Petersburg of the local option ! fight says, "If at first you don't suc i eeed, try, try again." THE PETERSBURG ELECTION, i c The prohibition campaign in Peters- { burg did not seem to have been con- , ducted with the wisdom anticipated by those who pay the bills, since the ° city went "wet" by some 600. Mrs. Curtis seems to have lost her persuasive powers, and other importations were j equally as void of results. The Wash ington Post commenting editorially on : the campaign and its results says in , part: "That victory might be doubly as sured, the womenfolk of the drys hand ed around lemonade and cake at the polls, while little children sang "Fath er, Dear Father," and the local W. C. T. IT. wrestled with- the subject in prayer. It was In these well-meant ef forts that, in our opinion, the drys made their mistake. There are some ministrations of goodness which, alas! drive men to drink, when their intend ed effect is exactly the opposite. Matters moved with that grace and fevered ease common to politely con tested elections until Wesley Andrews, member of the common council and spear-bearer for the wets, encountered the Rev. Sidney Peters, spellbinder for the drys, at the polls and challenged the Rev. Sid's vote. Hereupon ensued hot words, and no cooling liquids were at hand to quench them. The Rev. Sid passed a lie, whether in terms or by implication is not revealed; bat Wes slapped his face, and wet and dry joined issues and went to the mat together. In spite of the high state of public < spirit, both gentlemen were obliged to appear in a vulgar police court the next morning and apologi/.e for having dis turbed the peace and dignity of Peters burg. We grieve to stale that notwithstand ing the heroic endeavors of their cam paign and the marking of their cham pion's features with the brand of the hated enemy, the drys were swept from the field. It would be presumptuous to undertake an explanation of this de feat, but there lurks a suspicion in the mind that possibly the cake and lemon ade had something to do with it. At any rate, the result enforces the sad les son that the good does not always tri umph, even when attended by the charms of song and the lure of tooth some dainties. It may even he that the drys borrowed their idea from cer tain of those establishments fostered by their rivals which encourage trade by the use of a quartet of darkies with banjoes and a free lunch. In which case they have at least learned that not every rule works equally well both ways and that it is the little differences which decide an issue." A tariff of 1 cent per pound on eels will no doubt cause a good deal of squirming. ♦-.-♦*.-. WASHINGTON LETTER. [From Our Regular Correspondent.] Washington, D. C, May .il.—The Senate by a vote of fifty to thirty-two has postponed further consideration of the Bailey income tax amendment un til June 10, while Senator Aldrich has given notice that if time is not then op portune he will move a further post ponement. Opinion is divided as to the wisdom of Mr. Bailey's course in pressing his amendment at this time. The Republican advocatesof an income tax headed by Senator Cummins, of lowa, are unequivocally oppose to forc ing a test vote at this time, being con vinced that to do so would brin'* out a showing against the income tax pro position wholly disproportionate to the opposition to that tax per se. They realized the force of the argument put forth by Mr. Aldrich and his associates, that it was distinctly irregular to inter rupt the consideration of the tariff ' schedules to vote on an excise tax. Mr. Bailey on the other hand maintained that if a vote on his amendment were postponed until all the schedules has been adjusted the rates of duty would have been placed so high that the reve nue to be produced by an income tax would seem superfluous, and that, therefore, its rejection would be insured by postponement. The result of the vote demonstrated the correctness of Mr. Cummins' contention. By forcing a vote on the question at so inopportune a time Mr. Bailey alienated practically all his Republican support. It is a reasonable assumption that when the final vote is taken a portion of this will come back to him, but the moral effect of the rejection of his motion for imme diate consideration by so overwhelming a vote as fifty to thirty-two cannot, it is feared, be entirely overcome. No unprejudiced discussion of Mr. Bailey's course can entirely ignore the strong conviction in certain quarters that the Texas Senator was not wholly sincere in his support of his own amendment. This view is strongly en tertained by Senator Cummins and other equally staunch supporters of an income tax. Mr. Bailey, of course, denounces the suggestion with his usual vehemence. The declaration that Mr. Bailey was insincere, supported by re ferences to other instances where he has apparently played into the hands of Mr. Aldrich and the Republican or ganization, which appeared in a Demo cratic metropolitan daily, led Mr. Bailey into a fistic encounter with a representative of that newspaper. The affair was stopped before it become seiious except in its effect upon the standing of the Texas statesman, whose prestige in the Senate has been so seri ously injured by such demonstrations of his inability to control his temper. It was Mr. Bailey's attack upon Sena tor Beveridge, whom he attempted to choke as Mr. Beveridge sat in his chair on the floor of the Senate just seven years ago, it will be recalled, which led to the rejection of Senator Bailey as Democratic leader and procured that honor for his colleague Mr. Culberson. The summary justice meted out by the President to S. N. D. North, for the last six years director of the census, has served vividly lo recall to Republi can politicians that William Howard Taft, despite the fact that he has be come the leader of the Republican par ty, is still the judge rather than the politician and that when evidence is presented to him which demands a conviction, he does not stop to take in to consideration the political influence or affiliation of the accuses, nor even the effect of the conviction upon the political wellfare of the Republican party. When the most influential po liticians at the capitol learned that the administration of Dr. North was under investigation they flocked to the While House in droves to assure the President that "it would never do to displace North." The President listened with infinite patience to their admonitions and, like Brer Rabbit, "kep' sayin' notbin'.'' When the investigation was concluded Mr. Taft sent for Dr. North and advised him that the most grace ful method of separating himself from the public service would be to file his resignation immediately. Dr. North did so and a statement was given out at the White House saying that Dr. North's resignation "was based on the . ground that, on account of conditions existing and likely to continue, his ad ministration of the office would not probably be successful." Such lead ing politicians as Senators Aldrich, Lodge, Crane and Root, Speaker Can non and others, gasped for breath. They are still gasping, but the name of : E. Dana Durand, a man of marked ad- : ministrative ability and no political in fluence, has been sent to the Senate as Dr. North's successor. The election of Representative Wil liam Lorimer as United States Senator from Illinois, vice Albert J. Hopkins, , is regarded by politicians in Washing ton as a distinct defeat of all that is wholesome in national politics. Mr. Hopkins was not of the material of which statesman can be made, Mr. Lorimer is one of the old-school politi cians, a ward boss of a ino«t objection able type, a man of rather clean per sonal character, but a devotee of the philosophy that in politics the end jus tifies the means, that all is fair in the political game and that Republican su premacy is so essential to the welfare of the country that any amount of po litical corruptien, necessary to main lain it, is not only justifiable but pa triotic.
