STEAMING UP AGAIN The Political Pot in Virginia is REPEAL OF THE WALTON ELECTION LAW Questions to Come Before the Leg- islature. ALEXANDERISLAND SCANDAL —__+—_—__ Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. RICHMOND, Va., September 26, 1895.’ Simultaneously with the approach of the free-for-all, g0-as-you-please race for seats in the legislature the political pot through- cut the state begins to steam up again. Cenventions and political gatherings of one sort and anether are now being held all over Virginia, and candidates are as thick as bees in a clover patch. The fight for the legislature this fall will be, perhaps, more vigorous than for several years. Already the several parties are or- ganizing their forces and the entire state is being closely canvassed. Honest Elections the Issue. There is a vital question now agitating the citizens of Virginia, and this is general- ly recognized as the greatest and most im- portant issue in the campaign. It is the question of honest elections and the repeal of the Walton law. It has agitated the voters of Virginia for several years, and has occupied the closest attention of politi- cal leaders throughout the state for years, though the subject has not assumed such an important phase for some time. It is now recognized as a controversy that needs to be remedied, and there is a great de- mand on the part of the voters, irrespective of political creed, for the legislattre to take some decisive steps at the assembly this year. Recently the honest elections question has taken a remarkable spurt. Within the past month there have been no less than a dozen honest elections conventions held in various secticns of the state to take action upon the question. These conventions were compcsed of dem- cerats, republicans, populists and prohibi- tionists, though the last three parties named appear to have taken the greatest interest in the proceedings. Not that the democrats of the state do not favor honest elections. On the contrary, there has been a great moral crusade within their ranks on this reform. The democratic voters, as a rule, throughout the state are evidently in fuvor of honest elections, but they are not afliliating with the ether parties in the conventions, for the reason that Gen. Ma- hone, their political enemy, is understood to be the prime mover in the agitation of the questicn. Modification of the Walton Law. That the democrats of Virginia, as well as the populists and republicans, favor the repeal of the Walton election law, or at least the modification of the law, cannot be denied. Reports from all parts of the state establish this beycnd a doubt. There is a strong demand for the addition of an- other constable to serve at the polls, so that each of the two principal parties may be represented. This demand is being urged by tae republicans and populists especially, while the democrats themselves do not ap- pear to be opposing it. Senator Thomas S. Martin, the alleged originator of the Walton law, is coming in for any amount of criticfsm and condemna- tion, and the wail comes from all quarters of the state: ‘Repeal the Walton law!” The demand has become so atrong that there is little doubt as to an effort being made in the legislature this year to comply with it. Just what will be substituted for the Wal- ton law or just what modifications will be made cannot be stated. The people have formulated no suggestions, but they sim- ply demand an honest election law. Senator Allen Watts of Rcanoke says that he !s in favor of honest elections and the repeal or the modification of the Wal- ton law, and he is of the opinion that a large majority of the intelligent voters in his district hold to the same views. Sen- ator Watts’ position may be taken as an example of how the people of Halifax, Caroline, Henry, Mecklenburg, and, in- deed, most of the representative counties of the state, look at the matter. Silver Losing Ground. The silver issue in Virginia is gradually losing ground. Free silver is being advo- cated by many of the people in the remote counties, and, indeed, in some few towns; but the financial question is nothing like so widely discussed throughout the state as it was some time ago. As a matter of fact the free silver ranks ape weakening. Some of the few thouzhtful students of finance who advocated free silver for a while have been converted to the oppo- site side, and the most intelligent people in the thickly settled portions of the state as a general rule are for sound money. The receat conspicuous improvement in business circles throughout Virginia, the impetus which manufactures have taken on, and the general improvement in trade have been responsible, and those who claimed that nothing but free silver would restore prosperity are beginning to doubt bthe truth of their prophecies. Nearly all the furnaces, iron and coke industries and other similar enterprises in the state, which had been {dle for months on account of business depression, are now in full blast. The spirit of the free silver- ites came a little too late, for now they see prosperity returning too rapiz'y for their position on the financial question. Effect of O'Ferrall’s Action. Gov. O'Ferrall’s recent four-column letter on the financial question, in which he bade farewell to the free silver policy, and took a stand for goid as the national currency, and which has been printed in leaflet form and circulated throughout many sections of the country, it is thought, has wiclded a strong influence upon the minds of many who have given the financial question comparatively Httle thougat. Well-kifown free silver men in the south side counties of this state say that the governor's let- ter has mad2 many sound money converts in that section. Questions for the Legislature. There are a number of important ques- tions which will come up in the legislature this year, and which are expected to cre- ate some lively controversies during the sessions. One of the most important of these will be the consideration of the mili!- tary exzenses of the state. During the thres months ending July 30 of this year the expense incurred by the state for the services of the military in keeping down riots, mobs and threatened lynchings was some $45,000. This, it is claimed, is a heavy amount to be made up by the state taxpayers. There was a vigorous opposition from various quarters of the state to the action of Goy. O’Ferrall in ordering out the mili- tary upon several occasions, and by some it Nicotine Neutralized CHEW AND SMOKE MLAIIL POUCH TOBACCO. NO NERVES QUAKING.

Forecast till 8 p.m, Saturday: For eastern New York, eastern Pennsyl- vania, New Jersey and Delaware, falr; cooler; northwesterly winds. For the District of Columbia and Mary- land, generally fair; northerly winds; about 10 degrees cooler Saturday morning; the weather will probably become cloudy and threatening by Saturday night, with caster- ly_winds. For Virginia, generally fair; cooler; northerly winds, shifting to easterly. Weather conditions and general forecast: The barometer has risen throughout the central valleys and lake regions and fallen over northern Rocky mountain districts. It is higiest in the lower Missouri valley and lowest in the lower Saint Lawrence valley. It is much cooler throughout the central valleys and'lake regions. Local showers occurred during the night on the New England and middie Atlantic ccasts, in the southwest and northern Mon- tana; elsewhere the weather Is fair. ‘The {6llowing heavy rainfall (in inches) was reported: During the past Springwield, Mo., 1.22. Frosts occurred in the Missouri and up- Fer Mississippi valleys. ‘The indications are that the weather will be cooler and fair on the Atlantic coast, and the temperature will rise slowly in the central valleys Saturday. Possibly light frosts will occur in the Ghio valley and the western portions of Pennsylvania and New York tonight. The area cf high pressure which covers the central valleys has caused a fall of twenty-four hours: over twenty degrees in the sensible tem- perature over that region, which is about five degrees in excess of the actual tem- perature fall. This is a sign of increasing Gryness in the atmosphere, and will give a sensation of coolness greater than that in- dicated by the actual temperature of the air. Tide Table.

Pit is more than likely that a strong effort will be made to pass measures limiting the power of the governor in this direction. ‘There are two sides of the question, both of which are strongly backed, and it Is almost certain that the subject will precipitate a lively fight. The Alexander Island Se=nmdal. Another question which will create a brisk controversy is the disgraceful situa- ticn of affairs which prevailed last winter at Alexander Island. Gov. O’Ferrall him- self will try to induce the legislature to take ome important steps in this direction. The governor has repeatedy expressed a deep regret that the laws, as they now stand, permitted such racing and bogus sport as teck place at Alexander Island, and he has made up his mind to make some recommen- dations to the legislature bearing upon this matter. He will be strongly supported by the representative turfmen of the state, who will hold ajmass meeting in this city just before the fegislature meets, and for- mulate plans through which the nuisance at Alexander Island may be abolished. These turfmen will have speeches on the subject.setting forth the damaging influence upon legitimate sport in the state wrought by the one-sided and crooked business that prevailed at Alexander Island, and will for- ward a petition with recommendations to the legislature in regard to the matter. An effcrt will be made to pdSs measures by which only legitimate and honest racing will be allowed in Virginia. Sunday Saloons. Not the least of the many important ures to occupy the attention of the ture will be the sale of liquor in cities Gn Sunday, and the gambling ques- tion. For months there has been a sys- tematic crusade agai these two prac- tices. and the attention of the, legislators will be calicd to a number of statistics which will open their eyes to the necessity of either modifying the present Sunday liquor jaw, or framing new measures, more in keeping with the wishes of the people. It is expected that this question will create one of che most vigorous fights that will come up in the legislature this year. Richmond's Charter. It is more than likely that an effort will be made to amend the charter of the city of Richmond, £o as to provide that a number of. city officials now chosen by the city cevnceil will be selected by a direct vote of the people. This is the principal question now agitating local politics, and has been the predominating influence in inducing the representatives of the laboring people of Richmond to put an independent legislative ticket fh the field The Age of Consent. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union of the state will make an effort to have the legislature change the age of con- sent. This is expected to develop some sen- sational debates, and may meet with vigor- ous opposition. The question of good roads, which fs now occupying the minds of many of the agri- cultural people in the state, will also be considered by the legislature. —— IN A BABY CARRIAGE. Women Tourists in Japan Fond of Jinrickisha Riding. John A, Cockcrill’s Yokohama Letter. It is interesting here to visit the hatoba, or landing picr, when a freshly arrived steamer sets her passengers ashore. All there know of the jinrickisha. They have read of it. Their minds are all set on the little cart. Taeir faces are full of the ex- pectancy common to those who visit for the first time a strange shore. When their eyes light for the first time on the jinrickisha they smile, They seem to say, “That's it.” The women are specially a.study. No woman can mount into a jinrickisha for the first time without smiling and blushing. In all probability she will have a laugh as the kurimaya tucks her skirts in tenderly. There she is for the second time in life, perhaps, in a baby carriage. A sense of babyhood seems to come over her as the ve- hicle trots away, and the happy, foolish look on her face indicates that she wants to clap her hands and ery, “Goo, goo,” with Infantile glee. 1f the weather be pleasant the chances are five to one that she will be in a jinrickisha within an hour after she arrives at the hotel. Of course, she will say that she needs some toilet articles and that she wants to be directed to a shop where she can supply herself, but the dia- Told pointed truth is that she wants to have another ride in that baby carriage. ‘All women do not find the jinrickisha pleasant, especially on logg journeys. The jogging, swaying motion 1s most irritating to those who are not in robust health, but one sees many here who seem to be jin- rickisha mad, and who never seem quite happy unless they are gadding about in one. — oe Appointed Special Attorney.

FOR PROTECTION South American Republics to Band Together, THE MONROE DOCTRINE A PRINCIPLE tts Maintenance a Matter of Necessity With Them. THIS GOVERNMENT’S POSITION —E——EEE A* number of diplomats resident in Washington are talking with consider- able interest on the subject of an interna- tional agreement between the republics of America for mutual protection against the aggressions of European nations. ‘The Monroe doctrine is no longer a prin- ciple of the United States alone. For all practical purposes, relating solely to the interests. of this country within her own territory, the Monroe doctrine is of less importance than it is to every other repub- lic on the continent. Serious aggression on the territory of the United States is hard- ly to be contemplated as likely to come from any Europein government because those nations realize that they would have too formidable a people to deal with. But among the republics of Central and South America there {s a constant dread of un- just treatment and of unfair seizure of their territory by nations of Europe. For this reason the Monroe doctrine appeals to public sentiment south of Mexico to a far greater degree thin it dces north of it, where the doctrine is locke? upon as a principle sure to bring trouble when its violation has become general. In the case of the former the eviis attending the vio- lation of the doctrine are now present, be- ing illustrated by many instances, where- as in the ‘atter they are looked for in the future. ~ Some Casex in Point. The Venezuelan question, in which the encroachments of Great Britain are being experienced to an alarming degree, is per- haps the most important violation of the Menroe doctrine that is now pending. The British occupation of the Island of T+ini- €ad, which so lately stirred up the people of Brazil, has been considered by all the nations of Central and South America as an Instance of foreign agaressioa Mkely to be experienced by any of them. The ques- tion between Great Britain and Brazil in the case of British Guiana is adding fuel to the flames of popular alarm, end British occupation of the Falkland’ Islands is pointed to as an instance of how might makes right The Argentine government sull chafes over Great Britain's act in siezing the Falkland Islands, and the lit- tle government of Nicaragua feels injured by the mandatory maaner of Great Lritain in collecting $75,00) damages assessed by England and insisted upon with very little parileying. Svery year adds injuries to the list of what is regarded throughout Central and South America as unfair advantage taken of their weakness by the greatest naval power. Individually, these countries are not strong enough to cope with any of the leading European nations, and they feel that their only. safety is in co-operation It is likely that this co-operation will take the form of a mutual agreement declaring in favor cf the resistance by all the nations of this continent of any further azeression on American soil by European nations. The Monroe Doctrine Popular, If this agreement is enter2d into, it will result in all of the American republics con- icering that any violation of the Monroe Goctrine in any country is an Injury to all. t is not thought likely that the agreement will be for any purpose except mutual pro- tection against foreizn aggression, but men who believe in this course think that it should eventually be made an agreement for the protection against any unfair treat- ment of American republics by European nations. Such m2thods as Great Britain adopted for collecting an indemnity from Nicaragua, it is thought, should not only be condemned, but decisive action should be taken so that no nation on this conti- nent could be placed in a position to tame- ly submit to such unfair treatment. Whatever may be the popular interest current here in the Monroe doctrine, it is tame alongside the sentiment on the same subject existing in many of the other lead- ing American republics. In Brazil, for stance, there is a popular movement loo! ing toward the erection of a ,handsome statue to the memory of James Monroe. This statue is to be erected in Rio de Ja- neiro. This is but one instance of the pop- ularity of the Monroe doctrine in the South American republics. The name of Monroe is given many things in order to show the favor with which the doctrine of that :ame is held. Many believers in the Monroe doc- trine in the South American rep iblivs think that not only European nations should be prohibited from increasins territory on this side of the Atlantic, but that they should be caused to move off such possessions as they now have. Through most of the South American republics this is the burning question of the day, taking predominance in politics, and on which there is no per- ceptible difference of opinion as to the gen- eral principle involved. Position of the United States. Th most of these South American repub- lics there is a feeling that the United States has been slow to recoxniz2 violations of the Monroe doctrine and to enforce its principles. Among the smaller of these re- publics the United States is always looked to in the hour of danger, and regret is very general when this government has failed to take any part in enforems the long-ac- cepted doctrine which heary the name of one of the first Presidents of the republic. ‘The slowness of the United State: In and act as a friendly big br any show of resis that has led to the talk now current diplomatic circles regarding the ney for an international compact or Amer alliance for defensive purposes. No = ernment has yet taken any official act looking to the realization of this a‘lis but the people of all the governments are and the ready to discuss such a proposition, diplomats are quietly talking about form it should take and the best iir bring it about. It may be that thi tion will have reached a stage for p: discussion before the next session of Con- gress adjourns. It is not lik ly that the United States will take any leading part in the movement, though the popularity of the Monroe doctrine here and the necessity for its immediate enforcement would the proposition a serious hearing. Puzzled About a Terrapin, From the Macon a.) Telegraph. A terrapin about as large around as a silver dollar was the subject of a good deal or talk in Valdosta the other day, and the same terrapin has come near settling in the minds of some people the theory that fish, frogs and the like are often rained down in severe storms, During the heavy rain of last Friday the terrapin fell in the street between Middleton’s skoe shop and Davis’ beef market. It was seen to strike the ground by two men in the shoe shop and by Mr. Davis’ little boy. ‘There is no explanation as to where it came from, ex- cept on the theory that it rained down, and the question now is, Was that really the case?

In Florida the other day an old darky was brought before a magistrate upon the charge of “wantonly and maliciously kill- ing a fowl—one hen.” It seems that the murder of the hen was cold-blooded and premeditated. The defendant upon arraign- ment pleaded guilty, and explained in miti- gation of the offense that he had been taught from boyhood to kill every crowing hen. He had heard the deceased hen crow upon one or More occasions, and had fol- lowed the teachings of his youth. He was discharged. The Circumstances, From the Tammary Times.

From Puck. It was her last day at the seashore. All summer she had held sway over the hearts of the young men who had come down by the sea to conquer, only to fall a victim to her wiles. Her last day! The men were gone. The season was at an end. The Sep- tember nights already were cool to chilli- ness in premonition of the equinox. Her last Gay! She rose from the sands, her da'nty bathing suit clinging to her lithescme shape, and stretched herself as one a-weary. Her mind ran over her con- quests here upon the shore, upon her rivals, if she could dignify them as such, and then she turned with a supercilious smile of scorn toward the sea, the restless, ceaseless “And as for you"—she turned for a last look—“‘you never touched me!” A low moan came sobbing back from the sullen surf, and, with a laugh, she ran up the beach and was gone. ces Just a Fit. From Trath. Jagsiey—“Why are you in such a rush to get your bathing suit out of your trunk? You can’t use it this fall. Jigsley’s wife—“I want to send it up to Maud—she's just putting the baby in short cicthes.”” FINANCIAL. Fer Notes.
