Apropos of Bob Evans' characterization of Ex-Senator Chandler -as an insect any anarchist who wishes to "remove" the wsspiah New Ilamp-shire man will, of course, attack him with insect powder and a bellows. The President says he selected Governor Jones for the Federal bench la-gely as a mode of expressing bia condemnation of lynching.

We all condemn lynching, but it a condition And not a theory that confronts us. What are we to do about it? It 18 said the delegates in the cot-etitutional convention wish to take a recess of ten dajs for the election and go on the stump and tell the dear people what they have done. That ia jnst too fanny. It would take much longer to tell what they have not done. Just before President McKinley's John Mos-, of New York, the noted anarchist, published his paper an article anarchistic "Murder vs.

Election Infin1T. 5. 1901. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 22. Humiliating: Precedent.

The action of President Roosevelt in dining in th6 White House las Wednesdiy evening with Booker Washington, the Negro educator, caused indignation in the South and much unfavorable comment North It is taken as a threat of social equality and also an intended insult the South. Coming so soon after the President's annonnced policy of fair dealing with all sections this se rious blunder changes the nation'e head from the most popular to the most unpopular man in high place among us. The plan of building up aLily White Republican party South has received a setback and the humiliating precedent will and ought to serve as a great lever toward uniting Democrats. It knocks out the claim that the Republican party is not the Negro party. If he intends favoring mixed schools, mixed marriages and social equality in the South, aa ex.stp in Darts of the North, he will merit and have the disgust of decent people.

White men of Virginia, turn out as you never turned out and show by your ballots your disapproval of the action of the head of the nation bv defeating every Republican otferiug for election two weeks from today. Blues or Indigestion. We have always heard Republicans claim good times with plenty of work for all when their party was in power. This autumn they have changed. Their candidate for governor says this state i3 a hundred years benind the times, because, we take it.

the Democrats have been running it One of the writers on the Sun, the Republican paper pub lished in Staunton, must have had a bad case of bkiea or indigestion, with blindness thrown in, when he wrote last week of such a lamentable state of affairs in our city street care stopped, the market closed, freestone water denied the people after their having voted for it, wretched streets with grass growing in them and "our laboring people out ot employment all the result of a cheese-paring policyj The cars were put here by a foreigu concern who took the risk, made moneyduring half the year and wore allowed to stop running in the winter. The market wa3 not called for by public sentiment and its support was forced. A competent committee are dealing with the water matter, though there is a question whether we need it. The satement aa to employment is glaringly misleading. Every person of any account who wants work has it and this has been the case for months.

Scores of people have been and are working for contractors and at the evaporating and canning plants. Mr Partlow, a contracting builder, has for months been paying $200 to $250 in cash weekly for labor and has much work on hand. Mr Stewart, the builder, has work enough now to last until spring. -fcretwell a planing mill and build ing work are booming. Mr Livick, a builder, is busy and Mr Lamer, ia rushed with stone and paving orders.

Carpenters and brick-layers are all busy and contractors cannot get enough men to do their work. The above or other person should look on. the bright side and help make needed improvements instead of crying down the city and going among merchants trying to injure the business of the Argus with false statements. No real newspaper man and gentleman will so act. ohley's expenses before the court of inquiry have amounted to about $20,000, thus eating up all his loitune.

is tnia right According to a Paris critic the skiita worn by women will in the next ten years be "rigidly short." They are so short now as to expose -cne loot aoovetne Bhoe. Henet Watterson wants to be governor of Kentucky, senator of the United States and Democratic nominee for the presidency in 1904. Any-. thing else you'd like, Henry It's a little curious that the un- aafeness of the Brooklyn bridge snouia nave oeen discovered jnst before election time. Possibly it is unsafe for campaign purposes only.

The President may have fed Senator Piatt, of New York, on the best the land afforded when he dined him the other night, but weTi wager that the viands all tasted like crow all the same. suspect that the British are not worrying so much over how to whip the Boers as they are over their inability to let go the tail of the bull that they grasged so lightheartedly two years ago. The picking of the cotton crop in Texas is said to show a falling off of 40 to 60 "per cent from last year's crop, meaning a 'loss of some This will not prevent peo pie's "spitting cotton," however. can ssy on authority that no white man will lose his vote under the new constitution of Virginia. Whea Republican papers and spaak en tall yon so tell them there is no truth in it and they are simply ruing ri untruth to get votes for their Cream of the past week's Xews.

WEEKLY WASHINGTON LETTER. From our regular correspondent. Washington, Ootober 17. A.

number ot leading men in congress are coining to Washington lo consult with the President, msae of tbem at his request and many of them from their own desire to acquaint r.heoofiolvfs with his views on the important legislation that will come before the looaing session. It is worthy of note that in leaving the White House all of them fell he same story that the President has interrogated them as much or more than they iave him. Mr fioosevelt's attitude is that the chief executive should be thoroughly familiar with the wishes of the people of the United States and to that end he never nisBes an opportunity to learn the views aeld in different sections of the oountry. Senator Frye spent several days in this week. In regard to the ship rabsidytill he said that he would be "prepared to introduce the bill with, possibly, 4ome changes made to meat the objections it those who opposed the bill last session," but that he was unwilling to make any radical changes, as such wonld impair the efficacy of the measure.

"The former bill vas drestio, but the evil quired drastio remedies. Our merchant marine," ooutin-led the Senator, "was never in so bad a condition as it has been this past year." In inswer to a question as to whether any recent developments had occurred to demonstrate the necssity of the measnte he said: "England is already alarmed at the progress Germany is making on the sea. Germany baa established trans-oceanic lines wherever there is now or promises to be trade ia the future and has secured terminal facilities in all the South American countries. Besides there are ipeoial op port ani ties at this time for cultivating oar trade with China and Japan which should not be missed." The Senator also predicted the establishment of a department of oommeroe and some legislation providing for retiring the offioers of the revenue cutter service along the lines of tho retirement of naval offioers. Representative Dalzall, of Pittsburg, was in yesterday and expressed himself as in favor of the ship subsidy bill, with some modification from last year's form.

He said that he considered it "ab-sured that we should be paying out annually to foreigners to do our ocean carrying for us when we might just as well have not only the profit on the sale of our goods, but also the profit to be realized from their carriage." Some figures given me by Osptain Qao. P. Ahem. Ninth Infantry, who is at the head of the Philippine bureau of forestry, serve to show the value of these islands as a source of timber supply and also the good jadgment and economy that has so far been exercised by this government In the administration of the affairs of the island. The forest land of the Philippines is now being treated In the same manner as the forest reserves in this oountry, the timber being out under government super-; vliion and along scientific lines and sold to private individuals at The total receipts from the sale of timber for the last fiscal year amounted to and the total expenses to $25 000, leaving a net profit of $75,000 The last year under Spanish rule, with gross reoeipts of $75,000, the net profit waa only $5,000.

It estimated that there are about acres of public forest land in the Philippines, an area equal to the forest reserve in the United States.
