Well, wc can then tell who la

classed as tho eighth wonder of
the world.—Jackson. Mias., News.
Let us explain It by the fact that
their harmonious deliberations are
not complicated by oontroveralea with
John Sharp Williams and Vardaman.
The Atlanta Georgian dolefully
complained several days ago that
"at preaent the Democratic party
la doing nothing: not a confer
ence ot leaders has been held."
Hut since that gloomy hour Hoke
Smith. Reporter Smith, tyllly
Hardwick and Tom Watson ttfive

country again. The Georgian
should cheer up.—Macon Jele-

Wc at least see no reason to bo de

John Temple Oravea atlll has
no apology to make for his Chat
tanooga speech; nor Mr. Bryan
for bin declaration that It the
Democrats ere to nominate a Re
publican tor president it should
be Senator LaFollelte. He does,
not say who It should be If the
party goe. lata the Populist ranks
for a candidate: but we suppose
he thinks that would bu too deli
cate a matter for him. to touch
upon.—Wilmington Star.
Mr. Bryan, we feel sure, will do
whatever Is right and honeat nnd pa
triotic. He has never failed along
these Hue*.
If Bryan la not nominated for
preeldent. who will be? The
Democrats may have to take the
advice of John Temple Graves,
and make the choice of Roosevelt
unanimous. That would leave
Tom Watson nnd hla Independ
ent-Union party out In the cold.
The Populists have a long nnd
walling light before them, and
the end of the wait may never
come.—Fort Gaines Sentinel.
In oar opinion tho Populists have
fought tfcclr battle and practically
wvn It. Not by direct victory hut by
the peaceful line of educating tho De
mocracy to their views.

LET THE CORPORATIONS LEAD US TO REAL CONSERVA
TISM.
No editorial which has recently appeared in The Georgian has met
more general approval nnd Indorsement than that which dealt with the
conservatism of reform.
Tho Georgian takes the ground that when the people nre apathetic
and Indifferent under the existence of abuses, tbo agitator has hla mis
sion and the radical hla duty In urging them to comprehension and to
action. But balanced against this an equal duty resting upon good men
when the people are aroused and In the saddle, Is to see that they do
not ride too fast and too furiously for the public safety under the spur
of demagogy or the whip of selfish interests.
There are great forces moving now In tHe republic, both for action
and restraint. The reform movements of the time are clear, definite and
resolute. No man can mistake them either In their present purposes or
In their future resolutions. Within the lost six weeks certain great
forces, journalistic and personal, hevo been moving* toward a modera
tion of the remedial legislation against the railroads. Journals of the ex
cellent repute of The Manufacturers' Record tnd others have been pro-
testing their apprehension that the remsdlal legislation was going too
far and becoming oppressive to the corporations and obstructive to
growth and progress particularly In the South.
It Is always wise to listen to honest and Intelligent men upon what
ever opinion they may express. It Is an ancient and well accepted
axiom to give every man thine ear If few thy voice, and ife can not do
less than hear and consider the well-meant, warnings which come to us
from these conservative sources.
Moreover, it Is the part of wisdom upon those who seek a permanent
reform to consider duly whether any legislation or execution Illustrated
in these limes has In it an element of injustice to the corjioratlons. We x
can no more afford to be unjust to the corporations, who are themselves
.among the people, than wo can afford to be unjust to the people. We
can not afford to build with any hope of permanency along any line that
Is not wise and equitable and fair.
But there is always danger In reactions. They are almost Invariably
prone to go backward further than they Intend and In tho spirit ot con
servative action we are always in peril of drifting back to the same
apathy and Indifference out of which we came.
This matter of remedial legislation and Its limitations rests as much
with the railroads as with the people and their representatives. The
lieoplc nre no longer asleep and are no longer Ignorant. They know
what tlioj want and they arc moving definitely and resolutely toward It.
Tho railroad.) also know what the people want and demand, and we
do not hesitate to say that It will be the part of wisdom for the railroads
to meet this demand in a fair and leasonable comprehension of the pow
er of tho peopln to enforce their demands.
To apeak frankly and as fairly as we know how to speak, the Im
pression Is left upon our minds that the . railroads are fighting not
wisely and not altogether fairly against the popular demands.
In many Instances, one of which we gave on yesterday, they are
seeking to defy or to avoid tho expression of the popular will and these
instances are calculated to Inflame the people to more rlgoroua demands
rather than lo more conservative consideration. The railroads must res
olutely make up their minds to tho fact that the public Is not willing for
them to earn lavlah dividends upon watered stock. The people are reso
lutely set against putting premiums upon (he watered itock of corpora
tions. There Is no need to elaborate this phase of tho situation. The
railroads know what the people mean and the people know whnt they
Intend to secure. We hold that no talk of moderate reform Is either
possible or practical until tho railroads uqd tho corporations mnlre plain
that they understand nnd recognise this demand. Upon their fair and
honest Invcstnirfits nobody in this broad land begrudges them reasonable
anil abundant profits. The public loves to see them prosper. They are
willing to see them grow rich by every fair means, but tt Is a waate of ,
lirenth and a needless sawing of tho nlr for railroad organa or ultra-con
servative publicists to talk ot a let-up in this reform movement until the
great corporations have recognized the' popular ultimatum against being
taxed for tho revenues of watered stocks.
The Jieoplo from Dan to Beeraheba are convinced that they are
partners In these great public enterprises, that tjioy aro entitled to con
sideration, nnd they Intend to have It. And whenever tho corporations
and those who represent them are ready to treat upon .this plane w4
arc thoroughly convinced that the people, who have nover tailed to show
themselves Just and fair, will meet them half way and Illustrate the
magnanimity which has always been characteristic of the American
people.

••In grade the crop h/is l»eeit the reverse of m tit factory, the proportion ot dis

So thnt wo say to Thu Manufacturers’ Record tnd to Its friends and
to others of the timid and tdtra-conservatlve that their best mission
must rest In persuading the great, corporations that they themselves
must he conservative and common souse In their recognition of the right
and capacity of tho peopla to rtdo and of their rigid determination Jiot
to be unjustly taxed to support Investments which have never been

This Is real conservatism, and hnythlng else Is not conservatism.

THE SOCIAL TEMPEST IN VIRGINIA.
Whoa John C. Calhoun and bis family relaxed to accord social rec
ognition to Andrew Jackson's Peggy O'Neal, the act was applauded by
most of the proper people of the republic, but It coet the groat Caro-
llulan the presidency of the United Btates.
The relentless Jackson never forgave him and remembered it all too
well In a succeeding campaign for the presidency.
The matter Is not qufto so Important, but It It still not a little In
teresting to note the eoclsl battle that is being waged between Director
General narr and President St. George Tucker and the other officers ot
the Jamestown Hxposltlon.
What's tho matter with Barr that he Is not fU to receive and enter
tain the distinguished guestB who come to the Jemestown Exposition?
Let us concede that the director general may not be to the manor
born, and that his manner! lack something ot tho fineness and pollah ot
President Tucker with the blue blood of Virginia In his scholarly veins.
But even at that Director General Barr has been for many years a man
or wealth and of Importance. He has dealt In large affaire. He has
mingled with prominent people in and out of the great metropolis ot
the country, and if he could not be a Chesterfield amoag the effete no
bility of Europe or the "Trust, Nnbobs" of America, ho Is capable at
least of bearing himself with a proper degree of courtesy and considera
tion to the people, more or lest elegant, who come ,to the metropolis of
Hampton Roads.
We make bold to say that the distinguished visitors to Jamestown
have met many a worse man than Barr and have been entertained by
many a rougher boat than he. We are willing to guarantee that hit
manners are at least as good aa were tboee of Andrew Johnson and ot
Abraham Lincoln and of Oeneral Grant, who were presidents of the
United States from a low estate of birth.
We are disposed to think that Dlrcetor General Barr has stretched
Ills vigorous legs under the hospitable mahogany of many of the rich
est men in New York and lu other cities. And we are inclined to feel
that our ever-charming and gracious friends ot tidewater Virginia are
over-estimntlng the expectations of the illustrious If they think that
every foreigner expects to And an P. P. V. la every host that he meet!
in the Old Dominion.
There is hot likely to be left any doubt that the withdrawal of this
rich and vigorous, business man from tho affairs of an already trembling
exposition will sjieedfiy be felt In tho. locket nerve of the jBtnostown
Pair. And, reasoning, perhaps from a fallacious standpoint of dlstanco
and absence, we can not fail to think that it might bavo been a bet
ter and wiser plan for the elegant gentlemen who made up the earliest
management of the Jamestown Exposition if they had carried Director
General Barr upon the flawing tide ot their own grace and hospitality.
Meanwhile it is thoroughly Virginian to fling a great stake away
upon a social question, and to preserve the traditions of ancient ele
gance at the expense of modern and practical success.
Let us hope that the director general during his brief tenure ot office
has so far Improved tho finances and untangled the problems of the ex
position that It can float serenely under the gentle Tucker and the
cbivalric Sheppcrd until the November dars bring it to tt close.
was th, symbol of • corruption nnd
could not he employed. We re* from
the twelfth and thirteenth chapters of
Exodus that leaven, or ferment, was
not only forbidden si this supper, but
It wns not to be seen In nil their
quarters during the seven days of the
fonst. the |>ennlty for disobedience be
ing "that soul should be cut off tnnn
the congregation of Israel." Christ was
a Jsw nnd observed the law to the
letter. Can It be He made an excep
tion here? 80 far as Methodists are
concerned, our discipline teaches us to
use the unrermented wine, nnd for
those who don't understand the art of
preparing and preserving same, the
following recipe le appended:
Should It not be practical to prepare
It at home, unfermented grape Juice
can be used with safety. The Juice of
tho grope should be heated to the boil
ing point and put In slr-tlght Jars, like
canned peaches. If sugar Is preferred,
a quantity sufficient In dost an egg 1s
used, and when the wine Is opened di
lute with water. Of course, a Jar can t
be exposed to the air Indefinitely, as It
will spoil.
I hope our people will take the pains
to Inform themselves and see that we
can celebrate the Lord'e supper with
out breaking the law. Let us not ask
that we be allowed to use at the Lord's
table that which we deem unfit and
dangerous elsewhere.
Yours for the enforcement of the
prohibition law to the letter.

Ethel Creswell answered In great agl-

surely, that It waa a cruel thing to
marry Sylvia Thurston without telling
her'the story of your past, anad thus
giving her the chance at least of with

CHAPTER LXVII.
Burned by 8eerets.
October pasted away In a whirl of
storm and rain, and dark November
came In, with Its gloomy days, lie
gathering clouds, Its vole* of wrath and
sorrow walling nnd shrieking In the
wild winds that beat at the etralnlnx
windows of The Hollow, and died
away, like the mooning of lost splrlin.
A settled depression had fastened
upon Sylvia Thurston since Monica
Penrd's return to her own home In the
second week of October, and Mrs.
Thurston and the Judge became at
times seriously alarmed as to their
daughter's health. Sylvia seemed to
have lost all spirit and animation.
She rarely stirred out of doors note
and her husband had almost abandoned
hla efforts to Induce her to accompany
him In his walks and drives.
She spent the gloomy November days
In her 6wn rooms as a rule, most fre
quently In a small boudoir which ad
joined her dressing room, and from the
window of which a glimpse of the lake
wns obtained,
Sylvia would recline In a low chair
by this window for hours at a time,
gaslng upon the stormy, livid lake, lined
with yeaety foam—upon the Met yellow
leaves Hying wildly from the bare
branches of the tregs—upon the flocks
of birds that whened und screamed In
the wintry light.

came constrained and embarrassing it
such -times.
Mueller had grdwn careworn nnd
haggard; he looked like a man whose
mind was crushed continually beneath
some secret burden, and, although Byl- '
via fully perceived this, she could not
bring herself to question her husband
na to what this haunting anxiety ac
tually was.
Upstairs In her small, silent room

During the previous months Ruth's
state had resembled death In all ways
save thnt n faint breathing was per
ceptible—although, Indeed, It was so
feeble at times that It was only by-
placing a mlrroi; over the mouth nnd
observing the cloud of molature on the
surface that t
on# could be certain of any
respiration whatever.
The limbs were relaxed, as a rut",
but nt rare Intervals convulsive spasms
occurred.
The eyelids were closed, and attempts
to open them were usually resisted.
When opened, however, the eyeballs
were turned upward, the pupils dilated,
and It was almost impossible to ascer
tain whether tho mental functions were
In complete abeyance or Whether any
consciousness remained.
For the greater part of the time swal
lowing had been Impossible, and food
and stimulants could only be given by
injections.
