The Norfolk Landmark says MANY OF
us, nearly all OF us, differ from him Hon.
Geo. D. Wise) in our theories of the tar
if, but we consider the safety of Virginia
the Supreme question for Virginians, and
shall never question his position" And
this, after having endorsed nearly every
proposition affecting State policy which
the Republicans have adopted. What kind
of safety has Virginia had under DEM
ocratic rule Look at the condition of
the State in 1882 when the Readjusters
first came into poWer-the condition OF
the public schools, the asylums, the char
itaEle institutions and the public treasury.
They were all in State bordering on
bankruptcy and ruin. The Republicans
rescued them and placed them in a healthy
and prosperous condition, and so they re-
manned until in an evil day when the State
was again turned over to the Democrats.
We are now fast relapsing into the condi-
tion we were in 1881. What constitutes
the safety Of the State' if these inter-
ests do not Certainly the petty offices
ought not to be considered paramount, yet
these seem to be the sum of Democratic
ambition, for the result of legislation for
the past two years has had nothing but a
reac tiOnary and harmful effect.

According to the Richmond correspon-
dent of the Norfolk Ledger. there are now
pending in the Hastings Court of Rich
mond $50 cases involving the genuineness
of coupons which are to be rendered by
the owners for taxes. The most of these
are represented by Messrs. Maury & Co.
1t is said by those who are in q position to
know that many of the license payers who
were asked to sign a pledge not top pay their
demands to the Commonwealth in cou.
pons, declined to do so. 1t is further de-
clared that several of those who took con.
spicuous parts in the recent meeting at
the Chamber of Commerce paid their taxes
in coupons after participating in that
gathering This is a revelation of grave
Importance, and shows the degree of sim
certify which entered into the speeches and
resolutions On that occasion. 1t cores
ponds with the Bourbon pretense of want
ing to pay the debt under the the funding
bills Of 1871 and 1879, but making no pro-
vision to raise the money to do it.

Hon. w. H. Turner, State Senator from
Norfolk, died on Friday last. lie was a
gentleman OF very high character, and one
Of the largest taxpayers in Norfolk city.
Notwithstanding his large interests in the
city, and by reason of that, his interest in
good government. he had to be elected
three times before the Democratic Legis-
lature would admit him to his seat. He
was Republican, and in each election
had a majority of about 1000. The COM
plimentary notices of the deceased from
the Democratic papers are the strongest
condemnation of the partizan outrage that
was perpetrated upon him, in order to
enact partizan legislation. Mr.. Turner
was true man, devoted to his native
State and solicitous for her welfare, but
Bourbonism overlooked all of this to carry
nto effect its unconstitutional programme.

The. Presidents Letter.

We publish elsewhere the letter Of
President Cleveland to Congressman War
ner and others. 1t has the appearance Of
haste for the President-elect, before he had
become the actual President, to write a
letter to members of Congress indicating
what legislation should be enacted. But
all the facts must be considered. The Cir
cumstances which drew out the letter were
fact demanded reply. 1t had been stated
in the newspapers and probably commune
Gated in conversation by Mr.. Cleveland to
members Of his party who visited him,
that he was opposed to the further COIN
age Of silver. This caused Mr.. Reagan
and Mr.. Warner and others to get up a
petition signed by Democratic members
of Congress asking him not to commit
himself against silver coinage in his in
augural address. Their petition was for
warded by mail. Of course. courtesy, as
well as the subject presented, required an
answer. This he gave in the form of the
1COtCl puUilollCu III ttuOtucl COlullu. 1dI
the members of Congress not placed them
selves in the position of trying to dictate
to the President what he should say or
leave unsaid in his inaugural address, the
letter would never have been written. Mr.,
Cleveland was compelled eth er to offend
the petitioners by silence and discourtesy,
or express his views in a letter, and thus
observe the social amenities. The letter is
frank and to the point. There is no at
tempt at discussing theories or abstract
propositions. 1t deals with the practical
question in practical way, and will meet
the approval of all conservative men. who
have clear views on the subject mentioned.
They run counter to the record of his par.
ty, and will be the means of dividing it,
but they are right, and to the degree that
they are, Republicans ought to sustain
them, if from no higher consideration.
than consistency with party policy. The
letter is testimony from an unexpected
source in vindication of the views of the
great bulk of the Republican party, and
for Republicans to array themselves against
it, either directly or indirectly, is trifing
with grave subject of public concern,
and following bad Democratic example.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Tribune, referring to the contest over the
silver coinage question, says, bland,
Reagan and Warner beat up the recruits
and brought into their ranks a number OF
Republicans, who, although themselves
not in favor OF all unlimited coinage of
silver, were perfectly satisfied to put the
administration of Mr.. Cleveland in a hole,
as soon as they had satisfied themselves
that the silver clause in the >Sundry Civil
Bill, could not he passed
under q suspension of the rules" If
this statement is correct, then the Repub-
licans who lent themselves to the purpose
named and in the way named, did them
selves 10 credit. They placed themselves
on record against Appointment feature of
Republican policy, and there is no justif-
cation for this, in the fact that they aided
the malcontents of the Democratic party
/, putting Mr. Cleveland's administration
IA hol e. The business interests of the
ought to be consulted before the
petty revenges of extreme Democrats.

A remarkable story comes from Blount
county, Ala. Alvin Dixon who has held
the position of treasurer for many years
and was one Of the most popular and
highly esteemed men in the county and
universally trusted by everybody, went
away from his home last night leaving
seventeen hundred dollars in taxes he had
just collected in charge of his wife. About
midnight his wife saw a negro breaking
into the house, drew a pistol and fired kill
ing him instantly. When she examined
the body she found it to be that of her
husband with his face and hands blackened
with burnt cork. 1t IS generally believed
Dixon broke into the house to steal the
money he had just collected.

DIR. BALLS LIBEL SUIT.
His Action Against the New York Evening
Pest" Before the Supreme Court.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Jan. 10-Judge Childs, of the
Supreme Court, was occupied for several hours
to-day with arguments in the libel suit against
the New York Evening Post brought by the Rev.
DR.. Bali of this city, and growing out Of the
presidential campaign last fall. The discussion
was on a motion by plaintiff in regard to de-
fendant's answer to the complaint, an order
being desired to have portions stricken out and
Che bill of particulars amended to make it more
specific. Mr. Frank c. Ferguson and Mr.
Adelbert Mootappeared for plaintiff, and Messrs
Franklin d. Locke and John G..
Milburn for defendant. 1t was charged
Mr.. Moot said, that plaintiff was an adventurer,
miscreant, rascal, libeler vampire; that
he had assaulted Christian lady; that he was
not respected, etc., but in a general way. Each
charge was libel, and in order TO defend it
should be accompanied by bill of specification
DIR. Ball certainly had right to know what
stories he was charged with circulating mali
eiously. He was charged with being conspira-
tor Ought they not to state with whom he
confederated, and also the nature of the story
they concocted and circulated The only speci-
fcation was regarding the Evansville affair The
next nearest attempt to justify a charge was in
the allegation that he was political striker, but
this was indefinite and insufficient. Mr.. Locke
made vigorous reply, claiming that his answer
was sufficient and specific enough for each of the
alleged Sc, $50 libels. Incidentally he made some
personal remarks about the plaintiff. The de-
cision was reserved

THE HUGHES TRIAL.
Disgraceful Scenes in the Court-Roon-The
French Plan of Criminal Procedure.

PARIS, Jan. 10-The scenes about the en-
trance of the court, the day of the trial of Mime.
ovis-Hugues were in the highest degree dis
graceful. When the doors were opened the
most unseemly crowding and crushing occurred,
everybody in the unmannery throng making
frantic efforts to get inside Many of the visitors
carried cushions, and went prepared to stay all
day, The hum Of conversation, enlivened with
frequent salles of wit and outbursts of laugh
ter, pervaded the courtroom, greatly detracting
from the dignity of the proceedings
The papers complain Of the state of the
law, and compare it with Arkansas
in the early days. The revolver
is coming to take the place of the orderly execu-
LIE Soir expresses the belief that France has
entered upon the downward track. and in this
the journal only voices the opinion of many pes
smistic observers of Gallo tendencies
The manner of the trial distinctly marks the
difference between the administration of Grim
inal procedure in France and the United States
Here the accused is tortured by judges, with the
sharp weapon of cross examination and is forced
to be witness against herself In the United
States the accused is protected by the
Constitution. In the United States the evi
dence stops with the completion of the crime;
but here the President allowed the sufferings of
the victim to go in evidence. In the United
States dying declaration is confined to the act
and cause of death and surrounding circum-
stances; but here the President allowed in evi
dence the victims explanation of his primary in
nocence of the cause impell!ng Nine Hughes to
the deed. In the United States the impartiality
of the judge is conspicuous. Here the Judge
either aids the prosecutor or the defender, as
the judge happens to be moved. The whole trial
is a salient example of the whole theory of
French criminal Jurisprudence, which deems the
accused guilty until he proves his innocence,
whereas the converse proposition happily pre-
walls in America and England.
Madame Clovis Hughes refuses to pay the $400
damages assessed against her. She will appeal
to the Supreme Courts, on the ground that, as
she was acquitted she is not compelled to pay
pecuniary penalty.
