The Virginia Democrats propose TO
have the Manonites removed from the
Federal Offices in their state If thew can
accomplish it. Virginia CONGRESS ueu. it
seems, have agreed uD8n the men to rec
ommend for the different D. 6i rs, aud their
appointment will be urged wito all the in
fiuence that can be brought to bear upon
the President.
- is by no means certain, however,
that the Virginia Democrats viii meet
with success. WHAT the President will
DO when the political situation in Yir-
GINA is presented 70 him cannot be pre-
dicred with any degree OF certainty. Thus
far be has shown pretty clearly an inten-
ti4n not to make changes in III ,es except
for good cause. and there Is reason for
thinking tha, it is his intention TO adhere
20 that policy.
II is certain that If the President were
OF any state he ought to make it in the
case Of Virginia. Malone is preparing
for a desperate contest to recover control
Of the state next fall. and he is strength
ened by having an the Federal offices in
the state filed by his adhereuts.
Nothing would be more to be regretted
than % have tine Malone rule fastened on
the State again. There are those. of
course, who will say that the few Federal
officers in the state do not amount to
much in general election, and that the
Democrats can carry the election much
more easily next fan than they did last
fan. OF course this is a mere matter of
opinion. 1t cannot be doubted however,
that il the Democrats have the benefit of
all the Offices their chance Of carrying the
state VIII be greatly improved.
OF course, il an exception were made
in the case Of Virginia it would wholly
destroy whatever policy the President
may have decided upon with regard to
the Offices. Ifchanges were made IN the
Federal Offices in one State, without
sufficient cause, it would be about i'm
possible TO avoid changes in other States.
Doubtless the President is acting
strictly in accordance with policy re-
latiye TO the iIices that was agreed upon
in Cabinet meeting. Everything goes to
show that the President and the secre-
tares are in perfect accord with respect
to this matter Of patronage. II this view
of the situation is correct there isn't
much prospect that the virginia delega-
tion viii succeed in its mission.

reasons for advancing into Pendiah.
From this it may be inferred that Russia
viii say that the agreement was broken
without her consen, and against her de-
sire, but whether she viii make an
apology or not viii depend, doubtless,
upon the reasons Gen. komarof viii

whether it can be sustained. The
fact. if it be 2 fact that the
Russians retired from Peudjeh as
soon as the battle with the Afghan~ was
over, is pointed out as proof that the Rus
slams had no intention Of violating the
agreement Of March Il, and that the en-
gagement was only a chance affair,
brought on without generalization OF any
settled purpose.
There is a strong war feeling in both
England and Russia. and doubtless it is
the popular thing in both countries to
favor war at once, but it IS probable that
those who are in the places Of RESPONSE
blity, and who, therefore. are bound to
take into consideration, as far as they
are able. all the vast consequences Of
war, will not rush hesdlong into a con-
fict freighted with such stupendoUs posi-
blities.
Ofcourse the progress Of events I'm Eu-
rope is watched in this country with deep
interest If there should be war this
country would be benefited to some ex-
tent, and, perhaps, would suf-r some
loss. If the war should I've PROLONGED
there would be a great demand for
our grain and provisions. A demand
for those articles would benefit
the Northern States, and would be hurt
full to the Southern States, because the
prices Of them would advance, and the
South is a consumer Of them. At the
same time, Tor various reasons, the South
would not be able to market her cotton
crop to such advantage as she does when
Europe is at peace. There is no reason
worth considering for hoping that war
would cause a falling of in the cotton
production of either India or Egypt. and
hence create an increased demand TOR our
cotton. All things considered, therefore,
it is not probable, putting the gain Of the
North against the loss OF the South. that
this country would be benefited much, if
anv, by a war between England and
Russia.
OF course, unless the war continued
until after the next cotton crop was ready
for market it would do the South no great
damage. because last years cropis pretty
well distributed. Several things, there
fore. will have to happen before there will
be any occasion for uneasiness in the
South.

The Proposed Commercial Conyen-
ton


It's probable that the attendance at
the National Commercial Convention.
which is called to meet at Atlanta on May
~. 20 an u, will be sufficiently large to
give weight to its proceedings. The man
t,..t is at the head OF the undertaking has

There are commercial and rec procity

transportation and such other commercial
and financial questions as the convention
may see proper to consider.
Commercial treaties are attracting a
vast deal Of attention at present. A COM
mission from this country is at present in
South America trying to pick up facts
upon which TO base commercial treaties
favorable to our manufacturing interests.
The commercial treaty plan of making
room for our manufactures in foreign
markets originated with the protection
lists. who hope to prevent a reduction of
the tariff on articles in the manufacture
Of which they are particularly interested.
The silver question is fully as import
ant as that Of commercial treaties. The
impression appears TO be that the South is

when the issue is fully understood It is
probable that it will be found that this
impression is erroneous. 1t doesn't take
much figuring TO prove that the South
would suffer great damage if the value of
silver coin should suddenly drop TO its bull
lion value. / the coinage Of silver is con-
tinued 1T the present rate it is not at an

they find shat the South has a promising
future nothing is more natural than that
they should invest in the South and I'M

has come for boosting the South into

Richard Grant White, who died in New
York last Wednesday, held distin-
gui-hed place among American literary
men. tie was educated for the bar. but
having received an appointment to
comfortable position in the New York
custom house, he devoted all his leisure
time TO literature. lie became a really
great musical critic. He was a
prolific magazine writer. All his efforts
bore the marks Of care and study His
serious work was the study Of the older
English writers, with special reference to
the history of words, and the publication
Of his "Worjs and Their Us s." This
WAS recognized at once as the work of a
man who spoke from knoaledge. and no
book Of us kind dealing with the
historical significance Of words and in
sisting upon their accurate use has been
more widely read or had wider influence.
Naturally Mr.. Whites method Of study
tented somewhat to pedantry, and on
some of his hobbies he became tedious;
but he was always refined and agreea-
Bile writer, and he did a work for the inn
proyement of Everyday ENGLISH" that
deserves the fullest acknowledgment.
His latest book, "Mansfcld HUMP hreys.v
was very poor novel, written primarily
TO enforce one Of his hobbies-that the pur-
est traditions Of English speech have bten
better preserved in New England than in
Great Britain. The story is failure,
but the pathological digressions are ex-
cellent. especially as they led him into
some Of those controversies with Bri ish
writer's in which he took especial delight.
lie was dangerous controyersialst, for
the reason that he usually knew what he
was talking about, and could oyerwhelm
his opponent with citations from the in
exhaustible stores gathered in his wide
and closely obseryant reading.

Barrios' Death Confirmed

A dispatch from our Minister to Central
America, Mr.. Hall. leaves little il any
room to doubt that Btrrios is dead. Mr..
Hall would not have stated as a fact that
which was clOudcd in doubt. Barri $
friends in this country no longer have
any GOOD reason to hope that the Guate-
malan chief is still alive.
Barrios ruled Guatemala with strong
hand. Although a constitutional Presi-
dent only IL name and dictator in fact.
he aid more to advance the prosperity Of
Guatemala than any of his immediate
predecessors. He was a tyrant, of course.
and old many things that could not be
defended. and which would not have been
tolerated # they could have been success
fully resisted; but, with all his faults, his
c)untrymen will remember him with
some feeling Of gratitude.
The scheme to unite the Central Ameri-
can republics under one government has
been abandoned, as announced in our dis
patches several days ago. The man who
has been placed at the head of affairs in
Guatemala was Barrlos' Secretary of
War. The course of events in the little
republic Will be watched with more than
nominal interest. Unless measures are
taken at once for suppressing revolutions
the Gautemalans will not enjoy much
peace. Ambitious adventures VIII seek
place and power by means of the sword.
and the wealth accumulated under Bar
rios rule Will be soon wasted. 1t may be
that, now that Barrios is out of the way,
an attempt by peaceful means win be
made 70 unite the whole of Central Ameri-
ca under one flag; at least the people
are not inimcal to a federation. They
opposed Barrios' scheme because they
were hostile to BarriOs.
