?T h orea u.
The New Republicanism?With
Illustration.
We hear a good deal from the "Repub?
licans thoso fall days nbout tho now
Republicanism. They point to the Roa?
noke convention, and nsk. "Where was
the negro?",They state that he ls elim?
inated from Virginia politics; that a new
era has dawned In Virginia, and thoy
modestly proclaim tholr own respect?
ability from'every stump. They would*
have us believe that the old order of
things has passed away.
It ls not out of placo to ask who elim?
inated tbe negro, If he Is eliminated. If
the Republicans had been in power,
would thoy have eliminated him? In one
breath thoy shout that the negro ls no
longer a factor; In the next breath" they
denounce the Democrats and the new
Constitution, which lessened his perni?
cious activity and mnllgn influence In
Virginia politics. It would seem that
the Rcpubllcnns think that the peoplo of
Virginia ought to turn tho Democrats
out ot the munngement of Stato affairs
?*jid place the Republicans In power, be?
cfiuse tlie Demoernls forcibly separated
? largo number of negro voters from
the Republican party by disfranchising
them.
If a new ora has dawned In Virginia,
as the Republicans declnre, who on.used
It to dawn? Are not the Democrats re?
sponsible for It? Havo not the wise
management of the D?mocratie parly,
iiiirt tlie new Constitution put In oper?
ation by the Democrats, beon tho cause
of it? Have the Republicans had any?
thing to do with It, except to kick anil
protest against It constantly? There *<?
a new era in Virginia, an era of educa?
tional, social nnd material progress. We
thank Ilio Republicans for calling atten?
tion to it. Under Democratic manage?
ment this ora will continue.
But Is there ? now Republicanism In
Virginia? What evidences of il have
wc? True, the voice Is pleasant and
soft. "It Is the voice of Jacob, but are
not the hands the hands of Esau.
So far ns the negro Is concerned, there
Is no now Republicanism. The Republi?
cans are up to their old trick with him.
He was conspicuous In tho Roanoko con?
vent ion by'*h's abiiMico. The Republicans
called our particular attention to. it at
the time, and havo done so since. It
wns even announced that the sable bro?
ther was offended by tho "frost" he re?
ceived, and would revoll. This old and
familiar song had boon .sung to us bo
fore. The negro was not a.t Roanoke;
ho was In the Republican woodpile, and
he Is now conspicuous by his presence
ut Republican meetings. If you doubt It,
look at the picture we print of Pat Sic
Caul's meeting at Culpeper. The Repub?
licans are not calling our attention to
this, however, if the colored brother
fell soibadly about being anubbed at Ron.?
noke. why is the Hocking io tbo Republi?
can meetings and vociferously applaud
ini; feyery attack on the Democratic party
und every mention of free books? Tho
answer Is plain.
The negro knows Hint the Republican
party cannot do without him; that it is
powerless to elect Its ticket without hlnv
nnd that in the fullness of timo. It will
take blm by the liiunl and loud him to
u g?>oil seat at tin? politicai dining tit?
ble, His memory i.s very often short,
He may forgot the dollar ho borrowed
from you, hut his memory for u politi?
cal job Ih everlasting; and in? remem?

for which he still hopos.
A new Republicanism! "Now" in what,
pray. Not in Its candidate for Gover?
nor, who was a Republican ithen not
oven Campboll Slemp could etnnd that
party. Not "now" In Its manager and |
master, who, in addition to voting an
old Contodoratu out and a negro In,
voted for the commissioner of sales ?bill,
one of tho most Infamous measures over
attempted against a free peoplo;, a. meas?
ure so far-reaching In its irtlmilty, and
so subversivo of local self-government,
that it caused tho rovolt of tho "Big
Four"?Hole, lis'ewborry, Lybrook and
Wllllnms?and was defeated In tiio Stato
Senate in 1SS2. Not "now" in Its plat?
form, for that consists -mainljr In falso
charges against the Democratic party.
Not "new In Its audiences In South
side and Eastern -Virginia, for thoy
are ? mndj? ' up, aa of old, of the
colored contingent and the same
white Republicans who voted tho Repub?
lican ticket b?icl- In the lato 'GO'S nnd
tho early '70's. Not "new" in Is dema?
gogy, for It holds out promises which,
if fulfilled, will prova very disastrous to
the pocket?? of tho whlto peoplo of tho
Slate. Its promise of free books to the
negroes, at the expense of tho whlto
people of Virginia,, reminds? ono of tho
days of tho promise of forty acres and
? mulo; with .this dlfferonco, however,
that thoro wns never any Intention of
providing tho land and the mulo, -while
It ls the determinili Ion of tho Republi?
cans to attempt to perpetuate Itself In
power, If elected, by providing books tor
the negroes at the expense of the whlto
people. Is there anything? "now" nbout
that?
Possibly the Republicans are relying on
their candidate for I.leutennnt-Governor,
William P. Kent, to furnish the new?
ness. He has a lot of it. In fact, ho is
offensively "new." Hero ls a sample
of the new "Republicanism he Is handing
out to his audiences ln his speeches:
"It Is a wonder that some of them
(referring to Mr. Swanson, "Major Ander?
son, Mr. Eggleston and the other Demo?
cratic nominees) don't promise you free
sllvor, freo liquor, free niggers, free
love and free riding, freo anything Just
about election time."
Whether old or new, the people of
Virginia will have nono of It. Thoy
are satisfied with the Democratic man?
agement In this Slate, and they will wait
until this new Republicanism lias rung
cut the old and rung In something newer
and better ihan anything now on tho
ticket or In the platform.
Addicks, Allee and "Harmony."
Whatever else It may accomplish, that
"harmony" subcommittee of the Dola;
ware. Republicans has so far resulted In
anything but harmony. It has
managed to roll a very bitter pill for
former Semi tar J.tEdward. Addicks, who
has now permanently broken with his
guardimi nllv and henchman. Senator
Prank Alleo. Bitter wrangling and in?
tense fooling preceded tho final breach.
Each of the two opponents controlled
nine votes in the Slate Committee, thus
creating a permanent deadlock; and It
wns finally arranged that a subcommit?
tee lie appointed, to adjust the differ?
ences between tho rival factions. There
were five on tho committee, and Ad
dlcks was confident that ho controlled
three. Tho voto for chairman was si^f
flclcnt to show tho ox-senator how com?
pletely ho lind been deceived. Insur?
ance CommlMslonoi? George Vf. Marshall,
whom ho had counted a suro Addlcks
man, .come out squarely against him,
unti Alleo Avas elected. Addicks, hi short,
found hlmeslf worsted at all points. In
a toAverlng rage, ho characterlnoti Sen?
ator Alleo ?? a "Judas iHcartot," rushed
his resignation as a member of the com?
mltteo, find bounced out of tho room.
In thus leading Uto commltteo, a beaten
man, Addici?*? nlso departed from tho
politics of Delaware; and the official
machine, Into Avhich he is ?aid to have
poured tlio bulk of his largo fortuno,
will presumably know hint no mor?.
This happy rlddanco la no doubt In
Itself a consoling reflection to the peo?
ple of Delaware, but It Ih n s yot doubt?
ful whether Uiolr political situation is
to be much improved by 11. Botween
Addict's und Alleo Ibero lu probably little
to choose. As long as Addicks owned
the machino und had thu iiocessury
fund? to keep It humming, Alleo stood
In with him proti y nearly as alose as
ho could Bet, Now ho has tukon ml
vantage of Addlclcs's full to b-euk looso
from his old iilleglauoo and soleo tlio
bol?n for himself. That Addicks should
be ousted from the control ol Delaware
was eminently meet ami proper, but that
Alice, his farmer co-worker nnd beno?
fielury, should ttioroupon step Into his
kIioi-s, Is hardly a desirable consuonila?
iloti. "Reform," under tlu-sii iiusplces,
is not lilu-ly to ?o fur beyond the mime.
It would appear that I ii-Uwuru im?
swapped bot>ne-i ami gained" little in the
process.

Poto Rico's Troubles.
General Roy Stone's posthumous arti?
cle on economic conditions In Porto Rico,
has attracted widespread attention, and
a very general demand that something
be\done for tho immediate relief ot the
islanders. What form this "something"
Is to lake, Gcnernl Stone himself has
made very plain. It is tho instant repeal
of thoso well-meant but utterly mistaken
enactments restricting tho opportunities
and privileges of cn.pltal In Porto Rico.
Under present laws, no corporation can
own or control over flvo hundred acres
of land for agricultural purposes, though
It Is known ;that no sugar mill can ope?
rate on a profitable basis with loss than
five thousand acres of cano lands; no
corporation enn buy nnd sell real ,ostate;
nnd no member of anycorporation In?
terested In agriculture enn own a share
In any other corporation Interested ln
agriculture. Thanks to those absurd re?
strictions, millions of dollars of Ameri?
can en pi tal have boon kept oui of Porto
Rico, and In direct consequence thousands
of tho natives are out of work and ln
distress. Despite the natural advantages
of thn Island and our own large promises
for Its development, conditions thore are
actually far worse to-day than they were
under Spanish rule.
The published statements of the lend?
ing characters In tho Bowon-Loomls" ex?
travaganza now make It very plain thnt
Mr. Hay was a warm partisan of IT.

Roosevelt hotly championed F. Loomis ,

That forelgnor?r too, know a thing or

$r,000,000 Was Postponed.
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK. October-4.?Al tho an?
nual meeting of tho trustees of tho Pea

decided that the matter of granting a
million dollars for the endowment of the

poned owing to technical considerations
connected with the grant mado by the
Statu of Tennessee. ?
It was stated after the meeting; that
while it was held that the conditions
had not been met ln all respects, the dln
satisfactlon relnled entirely 10 technical?
ities. No controversy of any kind had
nrlsoii, and no doubt was entertained
that ln due tlnie. tho Georgo Peabody
College for Teachers will t-ucceed tho
existing Peabody Normal College, and
will recclvo the endowment of a million
dollars. The time selocted, July, 1907,
when a special meeting will probably bo
held, was chosen because the Tonncauoe
Legislature meots biennially, aud the next
meeting will not be hold until a year
from next January, inasmuch as this
appropriation went over, the committee
appointed lust January to report in re?
gard to "a further distribution of tho
fund" mado no roport to-day.
During the coming year the Income of
the fund will be distributed substantially
as It was during -the year Just past. The
