THURSDAY. AUGUST 15, IDOL
THE LESSON OF THE HOUR.
Thero was little or no excitement in
iie State Democratic Convention.
Trlaich met in Norfolk yesterday, be
cause the contest for lirst place on the
tict-et had already been settled, nnd
the convention tv::s peaceful and har
monious. Far In- it from us to dis
turb the lmnnony that prevails; to tear
open old wotinds that have to all
appearances been healed, or to awaken
any feeling of bitterness. But the ies
son of this campaign must not be for
gotten, Hie significance of Mr. Mon
tague's nomination must not be over
looked.
It is too late to discuss ilio question
as to whether or not there 3ias been
a political machine in Virginia, which
promoted bossism in ilie party, but it
cannot be denied that a large majority
of the Democrats of Virginia believed
that such a machine existed and timi
the time had 001:10 1o overthrow ir.
■A-t the outset Mr. Swanson sent out, a
circular letter to.the party-workers in
the State, which attracted much at
tention as soon as it was made public,
and which was interpreted by the ma
jority to mean that Mr. Swanson had
announced himself as the candidate
of the machine and that he looked
to the machine rather than to the
masses lo secure his nomination. We
do not now mean to say that Mr.
SwnnMin intended so to declare him
self- lie has positively and indignant
ly denied that such was his meaning,
and he is an honorable man. It is
none the less true, however, that the
masses did so interpret his letter, nnd
It is none the less true that that letter
was largely responsible for Mr. Swan-
eon's defeat.
IvOt us again emphasize the fact that
we are not disposed to rake up old
scores, but we s:iy that the signifi
cance of Ihis campaign must not In
overlooked ami die lesson musl not be
forgotten. We recall these circum
sjances by way of giving warning to
the new regime. We would direct at
tention to tlie fact and emphasize the
fact that in old Virginia the people
rule and that they regard public of
ficials as tl¥'lr servaxtts and not as their
masters. They will not for lon.tr tol
erate bossism or any appearance of it,
and whenever they have, reason to be
lieve that anything like a political
oligarchy in this old Corninonwealth
is being attempted, as sure as fate they
will rise up in their might and ma
jesty and put it down. Our advice to
the new regime is ihat it take wiaruing
from the lesson of the occasion.
THL" DEFEATED CANDIDATE.
Th? 1 speech of Mr. Clande A. Svr.-m
son before _ie Democratic Conveulion
in Norfolk, did honor to the mau and
to tilie Democratic party, of which he
is an honored and an honorable mein
bec. It was a model of pood taste
and jrood temper and eloqiioht in its
manifest sincerity- It is easy for a
ruau lo be amiable when t lie wrc-riih.
of triumiih rests upon his brow; it is
not so easy for him to be ainin Me in
defeat. It must also be remembered
that Mr. Swanson lind been in i In
habit of succeeding in all of his under
takings. Several years ap:o, when he
"was comparatively unknown, he set
out to secure Democratic nomina
tion for Congress from the Fifth I'is
triet of Virginia, and lie had a hanl
road to travel— just how hard none ex
cept those who were with him in thai
campaign understand. But in spite
of all the, obstacles in the way. lie se
cured the nomination, and then, under
more difficulties, he was elected in ;i
district where the opposition was
strong and had more than once tri
umphed. He served his people well,
however, in Congress, and every two
years since thai time hn has been reg
ularly reijominaied and elected
j\lr. Swanson lias been an active and
a prominent member of the House of
Representatives for several terms, has .
taken a conspicuous part in the politi
c_l affairs of St;*.' and nation, and in !
many a contest of one character or
another his influence lias been brought
to bear. But it' he was ever defeated ;
in any of these undertakings, we do
not recall the fact. Long ago he set
Ids heart upon being Governor of Vir
ginia—a worthy and noble aspiration,
and he luid good reason lo believe that ■
this honor would be his for the asking.
He was conndent when this campnijjn
opened that he would win an Lisy
victory over his opponents, and diCot- j
less he had many times In his quiet
momem.fi outlined the speech of sjrate
ful acceptance which he would make
before the Democratic Convention of I
1901. He made a brilliant canvass. ;
and he was ready at all times and un- !
<3er all circumstances to .urn before the
people and declare the fail!-, that was
in him. Indeed, ne seemed to sec';
every such opportunity to let the jieo
ple see and liear'hlm, and he seemed
to be confident that it" he could but
prcseait his claims before the Demo- j
crats of Virginia they would bestow
upon h|m ilie honor which he desired.
We say that Mr. Swa_sou had been
In the habit of succeeding, and old
Jiabits are bard to break. .say.
moreover, that he. had reason to believe
ifbat ho would keep up the habit, of
winning 5n this caujyaign. But for
this ono time the lost and his disap
pointment must liavo been keen.
a man "would hare become em
bittered and would hare been dis- j
poj*ed to drop into platitudes concern- ;
ing the \mgratefuluess of political
•parties, and something of that bitter
ness -would In sgite of himself have
croxowd out in. his remarks before the
convention. But Swanson is made of
different stuff. When he started out
in tins campaign, ho put on a pleasant
smile and he wore it through to the
ejid. Finally, when he was hauled up
before the convention to thank the
delegates for not nominating him and
to make (he usual consolation speech—
a most trying ordeal for any man— he
showed himself to be a Democrat and
a philosopher nnd said the right thing
at the right time.
We cannot withhold the expression
of our compliments nnd best wishes
to the defeated candidate. Swanson
is •stronger at. the close of the cam
paign than he was at the beginning.
and he has lost nothing except the
nomination, lie is a young, man and
for that he can well afford to wait. If
he lives long enough and continues to
conduct himself as he lias done
through this campaign, he will sooner
or later be Governor of the Common
wealth of Virginia.
SOME PERTINENT QUESTIONS.
Several years ago a negro was burn
ed at the stake in the town of Paris,
Texas, for criminally assaulting a
white woman, and the incident caused
a sensation throughout the length and
breadth of the United States. The
Item was printed in the newspapers
under scare h<*ids. and hardly a news
paper in the land which did not dis
cuss the. horrible tragedy in its edito
rial columns. It was the first time
that such awful punishment, had .been
1 inflicted upon one of these black
brutes, and the whole country was
stirred.
Since that time, however, several
other negroes have been punished in
the same manner for the same crime;
and when a negro was burned at the
stake in Georgia the other day the
newspapers made little ado about it,
and we have seen but two references
to it in the editorial columns of our
numerous exchanges.
Is it possible that we are getting used
to this sort of barbarism? Is it possi
ble that a human being can be burn
ed alive in the South without exciting
our wonder and without provoking
criticism V Are wo, indeed, becoming
so callous that an act of barbarism
does not touch our pity, or stir the
grace that is within us? God forbid.
but these are not idle questions, and
the law-abiding people of rhe South
may well take them to heart and give
them their prayful consideration.
OUR NEXT GOVERNOR.
Andrew Jackson Montague, the
brilliant young Virginian who has
been chosen by the Democrats of The
State as their nominee for Governor,
is v man in whom all Virginia Demo
crats have confidence and they will
support him with cordiality and en
thusiasm.
First of all, he is a Virginian, the
honored descendant of a noble Virginia
family.
He is a Democrat 'in principle and
practice, and lias proven his faith and
his loyalty.
lk> is :i clean man. ,i true gentle
man w!n> has lived a moral and relig
ious life and lias always stood for the
right. lie is an orator who is able to
represent the State with credit to hims
elf and the Commonwealth upon all
public occasions, at home or abroad,
wheii 1 In- Chief Executive is expected
to show himself, and that counts for
much in a Governor.
lie is a practical man and a pro
gressive man, and he may be counted
upon to do his best and a great deal
in promoting the material welfare of
tlie Stale.
li" is n lawyer and he knows how to
execute the laws. lie has also the
courage to use all the forces at his
command to stay the hand of the mob
and prevent riot.
He is a man of pleasing manners,
amiable and approachable, and
all who shall have dealings with Gov
ernor Montague in his official capacity
will find him as affable and courteous
as he is in private life.
The party has made no mistake
in nominating Mr. Montague and the
people will make no mistake in elect
ing him to i he highest office within
their gift. ILo lias every qualiliea.tiou
to make a model Governor and he will
give the Commonwealth a wise, able,
discreet, honest and progressive ad
ministration.
A FATAL BLUNDER.
Officials of the United Suites Steel
Corporation gave out the following
statement yesterday:
"As tin result of the attempt by the
American Tin-Plate Company to start
its Orescent Works at Cleveland in
twenty-four hours, half the mills were
put in successful operation, manned
largely bj former workmen who have
seceded from the Amalgamated Asso
ciation, stating their belief that the
officers oi' the association had done
wrong in violating their written agree
ment with the company. The start at
Cleveland having succeeded, the com
pany will in a short time make a sim
ilar move elsewhere."
it becomes more and more apparent
that the worst blow President Shaf
fer could have dealt organized labor
was his order to members of his or
ganization to violate their contract
agreements with the companies for
which they were working. The men
who were working under contract
knew that this order was morally
wrong and they musj; have lost con
fidence then and the* in their leader.
Senator Barksdale's obituary, pro
nounced over the grave of a dead is
sue and a dead statesman was one
of i he most eloquent gems of this ocf
casion of oratory.

Filing of Consolidated Company
Mortgage Result of Combination
of Months Ago.
Tho fact that the Consolidated Tobacco
Company has absorbed the American To
bacco C4.lm.pany and the Continental To
bacco Company and subsidiary concerns
will in no way affect the branches of
tha American and Continental in this
city.
This consolidation was practically made
last June, .but it went into final effect on
Tuesday, when the Consolidated Company
filed a mortgage in tlie Hudson County
Court in Jersey City for $150,000,000, made
to the Western- Trust Company to secure
an issue of 4 per cent, bonds not to e.x
' cetd that amount. The date of the mort
gage was June ilSth.
The Allen & Gmter concern is the only
branch of the American Tobacco Com
pany here. The Whitlock Company rep
resent the American Cigar Company,
and the P. '11. Mayo & 'Bros.' plant is
controlled by the Continental Comnany.
These concerns come within the Consol
idated Tobacco Company's scheme. There
will be no change dn the business, how
ever, as the Consolidated Company merely
takes v:> tho stock.
The establishments mentioned above
employ about 3,000 hands, while about as
many more are employed in the independ
ent factories. The Wright factory on
Twenty-third Street was some time ago
merged into the Mayo branch.

.JUSTICE JOHN'S COURT.
'Squire Graves Handles a Loag Bat Important
Docket.
The many friends of Justice Crutchfield
were much troubled to learn yesterday
that he was again tou unwell to leave
his room and would be unable to hold
court for some days. Justice Joha
■.va_s called home from his vacation
sojourn at Jordan Springs by a return of
the indisposition "which made him a pris
oner for some six weeks or two .mouths
last spring:. Tuesday he was well
enough to bo out and hold court, al
though looking rather badly. But yes
terday morning ho was again unable to
answer to tho roll-c_ll.
Yesterday 'Squire Craves dispensed
justice to all comers for an hour or more.
There was no case of very general or
commanding: importance. Ono or two
may develop into something later.
Detectives Gibson and Wn n had round
ed up an unprci'iissessing bunch of ne
groes, whom they charged with being 1
suspicious characters. Basil Lawrence
and one or two others of the tfanjj will
be held for ten days until the police have
completed their evidence ngainfft them.
W. M. .Johnson, alias Henry Knapper,
who seemed to be the leader of the gawff,
had retained the services of Mr. I>. O.
■\Venclenberg:, who argued long and skiil
tully concerning Johnsons innocence,
etc. Detective Gibson as skillfully eom
batted the arguments of .Mr. Wendenbergf,
and went so far as to admit that, apart
from the charge of stealing a coat, the
character of this crowd seemed to be
somewhat assailed by the fact that in

THE MAYOR'S SALARY.
A Movement on Foot to Increase U to Three
Thousand.
There is a movement on foot among
certain members of tho City Council look
ing to the increase of the salary of the
Mayor. At present the salary of that of
iicial is $2,500 a year. Those who have
been considering the matter think that
the salary of such a high official should
be not less than $3,000.
Some of the Councilmen favor the cre
ation of an office to be known as the
clerk to the Mayor, and to place the mon
ey suggest! (I by those who favor the in
crease in salary to the credit of a fund
for paying the clerk.
Those who will propose the Increase
will, at the same time, introduce a reso
lution covering the point raised by those
who favor a clerkship. The resolution
will provide for a clerk, whose salary is
to be paid by the Mayor from his increas
ed salary.

Bad Weather Makes No Difference.
In the face of unprecedented August
weather, the Casino has been drawing
phenomenal crowds. The excellence of
tho bill, which contains six numbers,
all far above tho average, coupled with
the i;ict that the theater is amply x>ro
tetecd against inclement weather, ac
count for this fact.
The imported act—^Dle. Ethadoro— is
pne of the best sent to us from across
the Atlantic. Mr. and Mrs. Iliatt con
tinue to score the hit of tho bill, and
the vitagraph pictures are the best seen
here this year. Three other features of
equal strength go to make up one of the
most entertaining bills of the season.
Street Committee.
The Richmond and Petersburg Elocttic
Railway and the Jenkins Rapid 'I'rhfcsic

from Fulton to the western part of the
city across a viaduct over the valley of
Shockoe Creek. The committee will prob
ably act on these two schemes this eve
ning.
