For November is a number which
cannot fail to please the readers for
whom this mag azine seems to be es
pecially designed. It has a short
article on President Garfield, but one
of the most notable tributes to the
dead President. It's thoughtfulness
and grace of style indicate Mr.. How
ellis as its author, though no name is
given Miss Lucy Larcum contrib
utes from her own recollections an
interesting article entitled "Among

land at Plymouth 2 seems to show
conclusively that the date here
tofore given for that world
famous landing is incorrect. Miss
Sarah Orne Jewett has one of her
characteristic sketches entitled
"From O Mournful Villager,' which
will probably be reproduced in her
book called Country By-Ways."
John Fiske discusses in thorough
and very interesting manner the

tinue in manner that cannot fail to
be very satisfactory to their many
readers. w. o. Stoddard has an in

THE VIRGINIA DUELS.

No political campaign in this
count y for years has engendered so
much personal strife and bitterness
as the one now in progress in Vir-
ginia. Several weeks ago the now
celebrated Blair letters made their
appearance and were denounced as
forgeries Since that time, such
epithets as "liar," " forger." "cew-
ard" etc, have figured largely in the
campaign. One duel came off sew
eral weeks ago in the northwestern
part of the State. Last week Capt.
II. II. Riddleberger and Congress-
man G.. d. Wise took four shots at
each other according to the
code, and Riddleberger was
prevented from fighting another
by the arrest of the opposite
parties. The air is full of rumors of
personal difficulties. Senator Ma.
hone was arrested in Washington
Sunday night, on suspicion that he
was about to engage in duel with
Gen. Jubal A. Early. He has pub
lished card, which appeared in oul
press dispatches and Early is repre-,
sented as abandoning all othel
modes of expression except red ho
profanity.
The election is one week from
next Tuesday, and there is no telling
what will happen in that time
Whether the peace can be KEEP
without calling out the MALTA re-
mains to be seen. If Virginia duel
are as bloodless as those that hav,
already come off during this can
vass, we can see no objection t.
them. 1t is probably as good pla1
for cooling the temper and blood o
Virginia politicians as any other, ant
it will probably be well enough t.
remove all restraint and allow then
to fight it out. No matter what tn
result may be, no great harm Cal
follow. II it resulted in the exter
mination of the breed, the Old Dc
minion would be no worse off

THE NASHVILLE BRIBERY INvEs.
TIGATION.

Nashville has been in a ferment for
two or three weeks over an investi-
cation which is being prosecuted by
the Grand Jury of the Criminal
Court, Of alleged bribery iu the
passage of the 1908 funding bill by
the last Legislature. What would
appear as desperate attempt to get
an indictment against Senator Bar
rett has been made. Senator Bar
rett is u Republican from Hardeman
County, and whether the fact that
he is Republican has anything to
do with his prosecution, the future
will probable show He is entitled
to no immunity on account of his
politics. Ii he is guilty Of accept
ing a bride, he ought to be
punished for it, just as
any other member of the
Legislature should be punished. We
know something of Senator Barrett,
and understand him to be State
credit man. II SO, we cannot see
that it wonld have been necessary to
bribe him to vote for that which he
favored naturally.
We know nothing about this inves-
tigation, except what we have seen

in the papers, and that issnot great
deal. But we have noticed tho names
of some persons who figure in it as
witnesses, who are identified with the
movement to defeat the operations
of the 1908 bill, and this may
be scheme on their part
to bring about that end. They
are desperate and would resort
to any means to accomplish their
purpose. Let the Investigation go
on. If any member Of the Legisla-
ture has accepted bribe be he Re-
publican or Democrat, let him be
punished to the fullest extent of the
law. No punishment is too severe
for a man who will .basely betray a
sacred trust under such circum-
stances.
But even If it should turn out that
some one has accepted bride to vote
for the 1903 BILL that does not affect
the validity Of the act in the least.
The people, in selecting their repre-.
sentatiyes in the law-making branch
of the government, are supposed to
select honest men, and if they do not,
it is their fault. # the Legislature
had right topass such d law, of which
there is no doubt, the law is valid,
and the Supreme Court viii so de
eide. No honest man will throw OBJ
structions in the way of the punish>
ment. of a bride -taker, but if this
prosecution is being urged by repu-
diationists for the purpose of dis
crediting the State debt, they will
find that their labors are fruitless.

SENATOR SCOTT AND THE
GOVERNORSHT

Some newspaper writer's in the State
have been striving during the past few
weeks to write Senator Scott into the
position of an active aspirant for the
gubernatorial nomination, with at best
very discouraging prospects of success:
and latterly some Of them have an
nounced that he has been retired alto
gether, because he is for some reason
unavailable, by prominent Republicans
supposed to have great influence n the
counsels of the party. 1t would be
exceedingly difficult to manufacture
statements further from the truth than
are these referred to. Senator Scott
has never been a candidate at all, much
less an active one, for the Office OF
Governor. He is and has been the
decided choice of the Republicans of
his own and many other portions OF
the State, for that position, and if he
would consent to the use Of his name,
there is little doubt but that he would
prove to be the choice of the Repubfi-
can Convention and Of the people.
He has never given that consent, al
though strongly urged. and even press
ed, by many friends throughout the
State. Until very recently it has been
hoped, by some of those friends at
least, that he would finally yield to
their wishes, and allow his name to 90
before the Convention. But we now
understand that he peremptorily de-
clines, not because of fear as to the
result, but mainly in obedience to a
strong conviction that his vast and
diversified business interests should
receive his personal supervision during
the next few years. He has urged
this upon his friends from the begin
ming. Having served the people in
the Senate many years at considerable
personal sacrifice, he now insists that
there are at present no public consid-
erations that demand of him the ac-
ceptance of position which would
require still greater sacrifice of per-
sonal interests.
In common with Republicans gener-
ally in this section of the State, and
with many Democrats who have openly
expressed desire to support him for
Governor, we sincerely regret the de-
cision which Senator Scott has felt it
his duty to make We are not wholly
without compensation for our regret,
however, in the reflection tn at
we have a worthy man with
sufficient courage to decline high
office.

PENSIONS.

The widow and dependents of the
soldier who gave up his life: the wound
ed, and the man who by unavoidable
exposure, contracted permanent disease
in the Union service are of the Nation s
wards, and entitled to its bounty and
gratitude, and no one will say that
they receive too much.
That the beneicence of the govern
ment has been, and is, grossly imposed
upon, under the pension laws, there is
no doubt 1t is a fact, and within the
knowledge of many, that there are per-
sons in almost every community who
have drawn, and are still drawing, large
sums as pensioners, because of alleged
disabilities who are in reality, strong
and well. Hundreds of thousands of
dollars have been, and are being paid
out as pensions upon fraudulent claims
to persons who have no just claim to
such reward.
The majority of these false and fraud
ulent claims are under the "disease"
provision. A man who seeks or re-
ceives pension upon false or equiv
ocal claim, is sneak and a scoundrel,
to whom the Nation owes nothing ex-
cept it be suit of striped clothing and
confinement in some prison. 1t is per
fectly safe to say that such a claimant
only wore the blue to disgrace it, and
his achievements as a soIdier( ~ were
regularity in drawing rations. and syS-
tematic and successive Sinking of
soldierly duties; fellow who was new
er at the "front'' except when the en-
envy was in the "rear''; one who, in
camp, never failed to respond-to the
sick call-and on march, (when all
subterfuges to evade it had failed, twas
never in the ranks, but always in an

Rheumatism. rupture, and all OF the
long list of ellis that flesh IS heir to-
contracted ten years since the last re,
verberation of Rebel cannon, have been
made the basis of unholy, unscrupu
lous and shameless raids upon the gen
erosity of a grateful people. Every
body's business, is nobody's business, ,
and honest people who would scorn tt
do mean thing, and who would in
stantly invoke the law upon petty
offender against an ordinary statute
look submissively on, while some
scheming rascal robs the public Treas
ury This is all wrong. The pension
funds should be sacredly guarded. 1t;

claimants is an isult to decency, to ths

spirit of benevolenee, and an afront to
the brave men whose valor finds, nor
seeks, other recompsnse, then sense
of duty faithfully performed.
This Wholesale robbery should be
stopped Money obtained upon frand-
ulent pension claims, ought to burn
the hands, and damn the souls of all
parties to the fraud It is sacrilege of
the most Infamous kind. Every dollar
obtained from the Treasury, by these
swindling schemes is a dollar flched
from magnanimity, stolen from charity,
and stained with the blood of a gallant
life. The spirits of the heroes of four
years of bloody warfare, rise up from
their ''green tents to denounce the
miscreants despoiling a Nations mu-
nifcence, their widows and orphans,
bewail the pillage of their lawful in
heritance. And the survivors of the
valient hosts of the armies of the
Cumberland, the Potomac and the
Tennessee, whose gallantry and forti-
tude carried their tattered but victor
Gus banners into Vicksburg, through
the Wilderness, and to the sea, demand
that the reward of their valor be ap-
portioned to their wounded and
their legitimate benefciaries.
