MahOne's Plans.

Petersburg cor, Baltimore Sun.
Gen. Malone has had several cons
situations with his leading men du-
ring the last three or four days, but
their nature has not leaked out
There is no doubt that the Senator
is greatly stune and mortified by
the signal rebuke he has received
but his future policy is kept pro-
foundry secret. 1t is believed by
the best informed men that he will
90 squarely and u%nreservedly into
the republican camp, and will lead
the republican forces in Virginia
next year. 1t is believed, further
more, that he will lose no time in
beginning organization and work.
A report from Richmond, Va,
announces that a committee repre-
senting the reedjuster party will
visit Washington in December du-
ring the session of the republican
national committee, and lay before
that body q statement OF the Vrr>
gina situation.
The New York Herald publishes
a lengthy interview with Senator
Rlddleberger, of Virginia.
He had hardly time as yet to think
over the result Of the elections; had
expected the readjusters would carry
the state on the general vote and
| secure such a majority in the House
as to control on joint ballot. The
issue, he declares, was "only Niger
IN white sections to brighten white
| folks, and at the same tine to buy
! the DOOR unfortunates who had been
| slaves and who still live in CABINS,
uneducated and bought BY those who
| take up subscriptions to pay rals-
| sionaries to Africa" The effect of
| the election, Senator Riddleberger
says, will be that mot another bond
| will be funded, and in two years
| the coalitionists will elect a govere
| nor and legislature and the success
sor Of Senator Malone; continuing,
he said: 81 vas and am q r~eadjuster.
| | would like to be everywhere so
| understood, and I will be M car
nest advocate OF all thai readjust-
| erism impliesin Virginia"
| Senator Riddleberger proclaimed
| himself to be in perfect unison
| with Mahone,''and denied thut there
| had eyer been any misunderstand>
| ing between them. He says he'never
| knew a truer patriot than Malone.
| He says his party was beaten Tues
day by money, that the opposition
| had more money than ia 1880, and
"bought men openly besides which
the readiusters had the opposition
of every railroad corporation IN the
| state.

Honors to Luther's Memory.

BERLIN, Nov. 1.-THE festival
In honor of the four hundredth an
niyersay of the birthday Of Martin
Luther opened yesterday by the
gathering of $4,000 school children,
who formed in 81 divisions, and ac-
eompanied by bands of music
marched to various churches, where
they attended religious services in
honor of the great reformer. whose
bust was placed before the altar in
each of the edifices. The Emperor
William and the Crown Prince
Frederick William, accompanied by
the officials of the Imperial Uni>
versity, all the city officers aud the
clergy, attended services in St.
Nicholas Church. At Erfurt,
where Luther first entered the Au-
gustine monastery in 1901; at
Eisenach, where Luther was con-
fined ten months in the castle of
Wartburg, and at Nordhausen, the
corder-stones of monuments to be
erected in the honor Of the great re- |
former were laid yesterday, with
ceremonies appropriate to the oc- |
casion. In Worms s, where Luther |
was brought before the Diet in
1921, a new halle was opened in his
honor. In Leipslc, a grand monu-
ment, commemorative of the Refor-
nation, with the statues Of Luther
and Melancthon upon it, was un-
yelled in front st. Johns Church.
A Civil Rights Suggestion.

tcer suggestions lately received by
the President in relation to his
forthcoming annual Message, is one
urging him to recommend to Con-
gress TO propose all amendment to
The Constitution which shall embo-
ly in substance the Civil Rights act
recently declared unconstitutional.
1t IS not thought probable that the
President will adopt this suggestion
1t is understood, however, that sew

such a measure at the first oppor- :

The 1888 Crop of Tobacco.

Cincinnati Tobacco journal.
Little can be further said Of the
1888 crop other than thai it is now
about housed; oaly in a few isolated
cases is there any tobacco yet stan
ding in the field. The fact that
frost has held off until this late
date excepting what happened in
September) has contributed largely
to increased faith in this crop, es-
pecially as to quality. It is true
that irreparable damage was effected
during the planting and growing
season that greatly curtailed the
quantity Of early planted, but the
FAVORABLE weather for the past two
months or more has done wonders
in behalf Of the late planted, which
constituted a greater part than usual
Of the total crop, especially in the
leaf growing states. Besides, the
curing season, up to the present,
has been all that could be asked,
and the outlook is far more cheer
full to all concerned than it was
thought possible a short time ago.
The crop will net be SO small as to
embarrass and retard manufactur-
ing, but still it will be no more than
ample to satisfy ordinary trade de-
mands, and good prices are assured.
If the requirements are %extraor-
binary, values will advance in ac-
cord. Some few characters will be
really scarce as Bright Virginia and
North Carolina, and really good
Strips for the export trade. That

Of Good and Fine Tobacco in the
present crop there can be nc doubt.
especially Of White Burley and Seed
Leaf. The growing export trade in
White Burley (the exports from
this market alone will aggregate
about 10000 hogsheads this Year,
will tend to exert an influence in
m~aintaing values which the mod
cron will warrant.

A counsel retained for the recent de-
fense of criminal against whom over
whelming evidence had been brought to
bear, aud who had, moreover confessed
his crime, appealed thus to the jury:
Gentlemen, you will not send this
man to the scaffold, for death is the
end of all earthly regrets, and perhaps
the first of eternal pardon. You will
not condemn him to penal servitude. to
enjoy the proud satisfaction of expiat-
ing his sin. Mol punish him as he de.
serves, by restoring him to liberty and
future laden with opprobrium and
embittered by remorse."
