It has always been our idea that
the fundamental principle of Democ
racy was the acceptance of majority
rule, but after reading the utterances
of some of our exchanges it would ap
pear that this principle will only -hold
good should the majority favor 'free
silver."
A GREAT MANY so called Demo
cratic papers and politicians are coming
out boldly and announcing it as their
idea jot Democracy, that "should the
Chicago convention declare for sound
money, then the delegates who favor
iree silver wilf be at'liberty to with
draw from the convention and be
free to act contrary to the rulings cf
the convention and still call them
selves good Democrats.'
The leaders of the Repub 'Pop-
combination seem to be. having some
trouble in arriving at a solution ot
the "fusion" problem. It would be
well for the Democrats to take warn
ing now and steer clear ot all - en:
, tangling alliances. We have but one
hope for victory in the coming elec
tion. We' must stand firmly on prin
ciple and avoid all "sops" to disaf
fected opponents. If either populists
or republicans wish to support the
democratic ticket, their votes will be
welcomed but the Democrats should
never stoop to "a dicker." If
we are to wimlet it be on principle'- if
defeat awaits f us, letus at least die
with the comforting assurance that
we have engaged in n,o practices for
which we need blush. I
for fortifications amounts to $1 1,384,
000, or $So,odo more than the esti
mate of the War Department. Our
apparent , need leads to the belief
that these .sums are nebessafv to im
prove the defenses ot jthe country,
and while they' are unquestionably
large no patriotic citizen will demur, to
theiry Congress has been most lib
eral in these appropriations, thus in
dicating ihat it understmds the need
of the hour in the matter ot naval and
coast defenses, if it understands noth
ing else. - j . r
When the country shall have put
its coast defenses in proper condition,
and built a navy in keeping with the
greatness of the country, it will be ah
easy matter, to hold pur own with
any foe coming from whatever source
it mav. ''''! '
a". Under such conditions the United
States will be better! able to hold
its ground in the event of controver
sies than if it was otherwise situated
It makes a great difference wHeri'
it is known that a man is able and
prepared to stand up against oposi
tion, and the'opponent will look along
time before ither making or inviting
an attack. j
Nations are like men in this regard
and hence it is needful that this coun-'
try should put itself in a position of
proper defense. Virginian. :
could be put in condition. Theel-
iect of this would- be a permanent
improvement, and not only would the
farmer ' fie astonished in ths
sodden
reduction in thi-; road tlx, but v
would also wonder at-the renyarkabre
falling off in the cost of transporta
tion. He vould also find that he ref
nuired fewer horses and less to feed
. - -- i
them. He could make two trips to
market a day instead of one, when
ability to get his goods there at a
time when high prices are ruling-is a
matter of-great consequence. Farm
ers are beginning to apply a' ittle

matters, and it is not too much td ex-

HOW TO Hl'lLD'UP A CITV
The Lynchburg News of Friday
contains an. interesting article on the
subject of "How to Build up the
City," and much that it says might
be studied by other cities" with profit.
Referring to its own city our contem
porary points out the need of a public
library, and sets forth the great ad
vantages to acrue from the establish
ment of such an institution.
There can be no question that a
Even supposing that Spain may in
the end conquer Cuba,' and compel
the insurgents to return to their alle
giance to the Crown, it would require
years of peace and prosperity' to re
store the Island to the condition
which obtained when hostilities were
begun not many months ago. The
devastation and rum I which prevails
throughout the unhappy Island beg
gars description, and every industry
is paralyzed. ,
There is no effort on the part of
anyone to do anything in the way of
business The only effort apparent
is simply to live and be let alone,
and both are difficult, i
The fact is the war has been a cost
ly affair throughoutj arid when one
comes to think of it there is no esti mating
the-, mischief it has done to
both the Government and the insur
gents. While Cuba has been, wel1
nigh mined, Spain has also suffered
gready, and that which has been lost
can never be regained. ,It would be
infinitely better could Spain-see her
way clear to let Cutji go the cost of
holding her is too , great.-Norfolk Vir
