Governor Cameron is the first
Of Virginia governors to fully
recognize Thanksgiving day in his
proclamation. lie directed all the
State departments to be closed and
the day to be recognized as it is
designed to be, and as it has hereto
fore been in the North, East and
West. OF course some bourbon
journals growl. They say Vir.
einia's custom has been to utilize
Christmas as her Thanksgiving
day, and that this is q Yankee
innovation. There is no way by
which Cameron can satisfy bour.
bon, but he knows aud does that
which is approved by the liberal
minded and right thinking people
of the State.

Secretary Whitney rode horse
back in Washington Thanksgiving
day, and tossed silver dollars &c
boys in the street. The Secretary
is said to be a possible democratic
candidate for the presidency in
1888. The charity which proclalm'
itself from the housetops is not q
the kind commended by the Good
Book. A quiet visit to the humble
sbanties and cabins would have
been much more appreciable. Such
conduct as that was extremely silly
to say the least.

BALTIHORE'S BID FOR CRIME.

In the last HERALD we gave a
brief editorial recital Of the IIance
wife murder case, the trial, the
pleas and the acQuittal. The kill
inc was not denied, IIance was the
confessed homicide, but he labored
under emotional insanity" Tor the
second that his finger pressed the
trigger. The law says it was muir
der. The court so eXpounded the
law. Voorhees, said it was not be-
cause the man was irresponsible.
The jury ignored the law, defied
the court and embraced the views
of eloquent counsel. The effect of
such precedent may now be seen
by reading the following from the
Baltimore American, under the
head of
Wife Shooting.
1t has been often noticed that
crimes tend to repetition. The
shooting OF Mrs. Holland by her
husband is the second that has fol-
lowed the deed Of Hance. Where
a shooting of a guilty wife takes
place, every man whose marital
relations are unhappy broods over
it and perhaps admires the shooter.
If the husband who fires the shot
escapes punishment, this also BE-
comes a subject Of meditation. In
addition to this, men of certain
sorts have weakness for sensa-
tionalisms and heroics. The sight
Of wife slayer acquitted and shak-
! inc hands with the jury and carri-
ed of in triumph by his friends is a
| dangerous one toponder over when
a man has a grievance Of this sort.
The restraints that ordinarily tend
to prevent crime are reduced to a
minimum. 1t is seen that in many
ewes a man becomes a sort OF hero
who takes the law in his own hands
and executes itin his OWN way
upon his wife. This to some
minds seems a fine thing. The
violence of jealousy is often muir
/ derous enough TO overcome the
fear Of legal consequences. Some
men kill the woman first and then
shoot themselves. This happens
quite frequently in this country,
but the force Of example adds an
other incentive. Crimes always
seem to come in waves. There is a
wave suicide, or wave OF arson
or of wrecking railroad trains, or of
poisoning, and in each Of these
cases The wave is strengthened by
the escape Of the criminals. Just
now it is all the rage to shoot a
/ frail wife. There have been three
cases in this city within a few
months. How many more there
may he will depend in part upon
the result Of the trials in these
cases.
Since the above was in type an
other case Of wife shooting is re-
ported from Baltimore. A young
husband returns from a short
absence in New York, and kills his
wife only lG years old, through
jealousy.

closer than anticipated by either
the Liberals or Tories. The Irish
members, who are improperly, or

secured enough 20 make their votes

plan of Parnell, and he has well
