Local OptIon-Thc senate.
Q Editor Of the DispdtCh:

To the Editor Of The Dispatch:
The position taken by Senator Riddle
berger. OF Shenandoah, In the Senate this
morning while the question OF local option
was under consideration calls for prompt
and positive action by the friends OF that
measure. Upon the question Of suspend
ing the rules and placing the bill upon the
calendar, when 1t Gun be reached at any
time, the Senator from Shenandoah yio-
lently opposed such action, and succeeded,
by vote Of IA TO tS, in preventing the
suspension Of the rules Gt requiring two
thirds yote), thus sending the bill to the
Committee OH Finance. and then Boosting
that he would see that it remained there.
The temperance people are thoroughly
In earnest upon this question OF "local
OPTION" They do not look at it either as
Funders or Rcidjusters, but simply as
citizens, and to avoid party complications
provide III the bill that passed the House
that the question shall be submitted at q
special election, thus leaving the question
to be decided in the abstract; but il the
policy of the Senator from Shenandoah pre-
walls the question that will foice itself into
each and every political convention Will be,
How does the candidate stand upon this
question: And if the candidate be a per-
son seeking denomination you may rest
assured his record will be looked up.
When representative Of people assumes
10 deny the right OF the voters Of his dis
trict to pass upon this question, which is
all they ask in the bill, they will he very
apt TO find way OF doing 1t, even il in
so doing they are compelled to pass
him TO the rear. OF course the Senator
from Shenandoah does not feel under any
obligation to consult his people, as he has
secured for himself seat in the United
States Senate for the next six years. But
how will il be with those who have TO re-
turn TO their constituents for endorsement !?
Can they afford to say 10 them that this has
ceased to be a government of the people,
by the people for the people! Can they
afford 10 deny the petition Of the $4,000
who have asked the privilege Of voting
upon this question, and say they shall
not have that privilege III 20, there will
be such an agitation of this question for the
next two years TINT Old Virginia will be
aroused from the scacoGst TO the noun
tainS, and matters will bc 80 readjusted that
the next Gcneaal Assembly will be more
in accord with public sentiment and less
subservient to the dictation of the Senator
from Shenandoah.
We hope this will not be necessary.
There is an undoubted majority Of the
senators in favor OF passing this bill and
leaving the license question TO the people
themselves for decision, unmixed with
party politics or candidate S. We trust the
Committee on Finance will promptly re-
port the bill. Ii not, We hope the Senate
will call for the bill, act upon it like men,
and place themselves on record.

SUDDEN AND SAD DEATH OF Two SIS
TERs.-Thc following is related by Il
Waynesboro' correspondent OF the Valley
Virginidn:
81 learned day or two ago OF two
rather singular deaths. Mr.. John Kirby,
who lives in the neighborhood OF Crimora
station, on the Shenandoah Valley railroad.
about nine miles north OF here, had two
daughters, aged respectively about nine
and eleven years. For several days they
had both been complaining OF pains in
their heads, and OH Wednesday night.
the 18th uitimo, they both retired "a
usual. Some time during the night
their mother went to their led to
see II they were comfortable, and found
them, rs she supposed, both asleep, but on
closer examination the elder Of the two
was found TO be dead, the corpse was still
warm, and life must have been extinct but
q short time. The corpse was removed
from the bed, and the morning following
the other daughter, after she arose and
dressed herself, stepped to a back door and
blew her nose, which started rather free
hemorhage Of blood. which, however, was
soon checked. She then threw herself
down upon lounge that was in the room,
and in very short time she also was dead.
They were both buried In the same grave
on the 18th ultimo. The above statement
got direct from Mr. Obediah Kirby, the
grandfather OF the deceased children"

We say TO our friend Of the CDlpeper
Exponent that we have never for moment
even 70 much as thought Of denying to the
new Court Of Appeals the right to decide
any question which may come before II nc
cording 70 Its own opinion. On the con-
trary, We have expressly conceded its right
to do So. The point we make Is that the
present Court OF Appeals having expressly
declared that all judges elected in Virginia
are elected for full terms, that decision Is
biading. upon the Legislature and upon
every good citizen until reversed by the
same authority--thc Court Of Appeals; and
therefore that a Judge elected in contempt
of that decision ought not to be permitted
to take his seat, even though the new Court
Of Appeals should consider the decision
wrong.
Our columns Just now nrc so crowded
that we haven't room to review the argu-
ment OF our Culeper friend. However,
20 much Of 1t Is based upon misconcep-
ton OF our position, that we should find in
it very little to combat.

TIE HAsEY.PETERs CAsE.-Indce

The BMsEY-PEqERs CAsE.-Judge GAR
land on yesterday. in vacation, rendered a
decree in the suit Of Edwin S. Halsey Us.
Professor w. +. Peters in d very important
and interesting case. 1t seems that in 1877
the late Don Il. &. Peters gave his nephew.
Edward s. Halsey, his valuable Otter-riyer
estate and all the stock, improvements, &C.,
thereon, but died afterwards, having failed
to execute deed. After his death his
brother. Professor w. T.. Peters, OF the
University Of Virginia, claimed the>land
and all the personally as general deyisee
under The will OF Don T. c. Peters. There
upon Edwin s. Halsey fled his bill in the
circuit Court Of Campbell claiming title to
all the property, real and personal, by parol
GIT, he having been for several wears In
possession under the gift.
The Judge in his decree says that Mr..
ialsey's title to the stock and implements
Is perfect, and DEGREES it TO him absolutely.
As to the real estate II says that the evil
dencc proves the gift to Mr.. Halsey, but
us IL was never consummated by deed, he
cannot enforce specific performance, the
being insufficient. II Is UNI
derstood that MIR. Halsey will appeal from
tile decision, and as there are number OF
Cases decided by the Court OF Appeals
which hold that parol gifts are valid, the
matter cannot be regarded as yet ulti-
n'aie'y defermined.-Lyncl5urg Neps.

A few days age, IN an article on another

"Our esteemed contemporary, the Gin

when IL treats Captain Eads's schemes OF one
kind and another with such gross injustice.
The most distinguished engineers In
Europe have given il as an opinion from
which there can be no intelligent dissent,
that vessels may be transported across the
continent In the manner proposed by
Captain Eads, with much less strain upon
them than they experience in storm ut
sea, and yet the Commercial belittles his
scheme as visionary and impracticable. y

We do not know how often attempts

VICTORIA, but reading recently CAROLINE
Fox's "Memories OF Old Friends" we
came Unexpectedly upon the following en-.

date Of june 1, 1912, which records an at
tempt singularly resembling that recently
made:
"Vlsft from the Edward Sterlings, who
were much excited at another attempt at
shooting the Queen, which happened last
evening In the park. The day before the
man Ind been there, but was unavoidably
prevented. This was mentioned 10 her
Majesty, who ordered double number OF
police, In their plain clothes, to be stationed
In the park, and forbade her ladies to attend
her and expose themselves TO danger from
which she would not shrink. The man
raised NE pistol scithin three PAGES of the
cdryioge, tr,en policeman strucl: il do,rn
harmless. The Queen and Prince stood
up In the carriage, and were greeted with
the utmost enthusiasm"
n is matter Of history that the would-be
assassin was tried and condemned I'm two
weeks after the event before Chief-Justice
TisDAL, who, with the black cap upon his
head. pronounced the sentence Of the law
for high treason In attempting the life Of
the Queen. The sentence was that the
prisoner should be hanged, drawn, and
quartered, and his discovered limbs ex-
posed 10 the good old-fashioned way. BY
The ciemeBcy Of the Queen, the punishment
was reduced 10 transportation for life. The
