hat Wise knew what he was about when

that Wise knew what he was about when
he wrote his letter. 1t would, az Mr..
Lloyd suggests, be stroke OF policy,
perhaps, In Malone TO appear TO yield
TO Wises suggestion, and agree to a
reorganization of the Republican party
in this State on more liberal principles,
especially II he felt that he and Wise
together could so manipulate elections as
TO secure the choice of their mutual
friends to leading positions In the State,
city, and county organizations, and 50,
while apparently giving up his autocracy,
remain as much Of dictator as ever.
General Wickham, therefore, may be
right. Wise may wish TO break loose from
his master, and Malone may be too much
of tyrant to brook any opposition. But
there is every plausibility In the reason
ing that Wise is still as much the servant
of Malone as of yOre, and that his letter
was even written at the dictate of his
master, who sees, or thinks he does, in
assuming for the moment the virtue of
liberaliy and disisste for tyranny, an
opportunity for the better accomplish
mcnt of his ulterior designs.

The New York TriJEne is nothing II
not maliciously partisan. II cannot even
discuss the death of the late Chief Justice
Waite without ventilating its political
spleen. Here IS what il says: " This sud
den change will precipitale upon the
country In The approaching campaign the
question of the political complexion OF
the Supreme Court When Mr.. Weites
successor has been appointed, two places
will he filled with Democrats. Three OF
the remaining Justices have already
passed the retiring age This makes II
practically certain that the next Presi'
dent will determine the political charac'
ter Of the Court, and the voters of the
country will be called upon TO decide
whether or not it shall be Democratic
with all that word implies"
The country has every reason 10 be well
satisfied with all that that name implies.
The last three years have proven very
conclusiyely and satisfactorily that il
not only implies, but means, honesty in
the administration Of the public affairs as
opposed to the innate corruption OF
previous Radical administrations, econ
omy in the management Of the peoples
money in contradisinclion to Republican
extravaganza good government in place
of Radical misrule, and legislation for
the masses instead Of for rings, cliques,
and fagorities. That is much of what
that word implies"

Major Henry Hudnall, in his reply to
our question as TO the effect of Mr.. Wise 5
letter, says that Virginia Republicans will
favor any policy (which proposes to
make our National Government mean
something practical In its policy among
the nations of the earth instead Of being
what 1t is now, mere smulacrum or
shadow of the Southern Coniederacy
under the guise OF United States consti-
tutional government"
Now will Major Hudnsll answer this
question (Which would he, as South
ern man, prefer, Southern Confederacy
under the guise of United States con-
stitutional government, or a Northern
Confederacy under the same guise!" 1t
is the latter which Ingalls, and the Re-
publican party of the North, which Is

A Relic of Barbarism.

IL il many years since the traveller who
was advised TO 90 and see India remarked
that he did not care to do SO, as the gov
ernment had abolished hook swinging and
widow burning. But some OF the inhaDi-
tants Of that vast peninsula are still given
TO strange custom, Of which little OF
nothing is known to Europeans II seems
that in the nizam's dOminiOns there IS a
caste in which this practice prevails.
When any Of its members die flag j. at
tached TO a bamboo and the bamboo -
given to a man to hold over the corpse OF
the deceased Then, having retired to "a
convenient distance, the men Of the caste
open fire on the flag, probably by way OF
showing their distress and Of helping the
soul Of the deceased on its journey to some
other world But not everybody IS a
William Tell, and sometimes it happens
that the man holding the fiag is shot.
This actually occurred on a recent occa-
sion, and notice was taken of it by the
niZams governmeit. In The Tarida, or
government gazette. It Is made known &c
all concerned that 10 flag held over a
corpse IS to be fired at in the future st.

The National Woman Council, at pres
ent in session in Washington, has for Its
avowed object the advancement of the
female sex, and the cultivation OF all the
virtues which elevate and adorn wo-
man. This is a noble work, and every
true man and woman will bid it God
speed. There are two things, however,
which the council should make sure not
to forget. One is that woman should
be looked upon as too exalted a
being to he dragged down into
the mire of politics through the
medium of the ballot, and the other
is that the experience OF the world, from
the creation until now, teaches that no
woman can be truly happy who is not
more or less under the domination of the
tyrant man.

Mayor Hewitt, in giving his reasons
why he refused to allow the Irish flag
to fly from the New York City Hall on
ST. Patficks day, shows that only twenty
per cent. OF the population of New York
were born of American parents. Forty
per cent were born abroad, and forty
per cent, though native born. are children
of parents who are one or both aliens
He claims, however, that notwithstanding
this large foreign element in New York,
this is America, and mono but the Ameri-
can and State flags should fly from our
public buildings.
Mayor Hewitt Is eminently correct.
Nevertheless his figures. showing the
preponderance of foreign influence In The
metropolis of the United States, will set
politicians to thinking and devising.

Source of Scarlet Fever.

It seems 20 be now satisfactorily es-
tablshed by Dr. Klein that scarlet fever
is induced by a germ, or microbe, microc-
Gus scarlitin3, which is formed in the
milk OF cows affected by a certain disease
The same micrObe is obtained from the
diseased COW, from her milk and from
patients suffering from scarlet fever
Fortunately the infectious property of the
milk can be destroyed by heating it to
1856 degs. Fahrenheit This precaution
should never be neglected when scarlet
fever is prevalent. Philadelphia Times.

MIR. WIsE's LETTER.

From the interview with our local Re
pub.icans upon the probable effect of tho
late letter Of MI. John ). Wise upon the
Republican prospects in Virginia-pub-
lished in the TIMES of Sunday-we are
forced 10 the conclusion that our friends,

uneasy ever that same epistle. With the
single and only exception of General
Wickham, who al the outset avowed
himself to have no sympathy what.
ever with the Readjuster- Republi,
canisms of Virginia, there IL a
hesitancy and evasion In their replies
which plainly indicate an anxious desire
TO see how he cat Is going to jump
General Wickhsms impressions are
therefore, not unlikely to be correct, as
he is looking at the situation from q calm
impassiye standpoint, and they ara
tersely expressed when he says that he
believes that Wise is no longer willing to
blindly follow master, but is inclined to
break loose from the leading strings Of
Malone.

Of all the responses TO the TINES inquiry
was that OF Mr.. Lloyd, State Senator
from the Sixteenth senatorial district

Ii Is estimated that the Washington
council of Blaine's friends has deciced TO

roll TO the Blaine warriors. Blaine il TO

that Brother Smith, Congressman Phelps,

Commenting on the National Council
OF Women now in session IN Washing
ton, the Washington Post remarks:
ut is not possible TO make an entire
correction Of the manifest and great evil
of small wages for some kinds OF work
performed by women, because the supply
Of such work is in excess of the demand.
Legislation cannot reach this abuse The
only remedy is the diversion of wOman's
work into other channels. Such inyen
tons as the typewriter and the steno.
graph are worth more 10 the girls OF
America than thousand volumes Of
speeches and essays on woman suffrage
We believe that much good could be ac-
complished by the gradual introduction
of women and girls into such light and
wholesome out of-door work as the cult
walton Of vineyards and gardens and the
rearing Of poultry.
What is most needed among the wo.
man of the United States Is reformation
in their views concerning work. They
should be taught that labor is not dis
graceful, that 1t is not reproaeb TO have
a hand which indicates that its owner Is
not idler. A million or more of girls
who can never be musical should be
taken from their daily drill at the piano
and put into the kitchen or garden for a
part of each day

There is fresh literary item from
Ignis Fatuus Donnelly Of Minnesota from
a scholar OF the town Of CohOes who has
been delving into the Shakespeare Bacon
controversy. This scholar will soon make
a public exposure of the secret that Ba
con not only wrote the Shakcspearean
plays, bu. poisoned Shakespeare. He
claims 10 have discovered q Confession OF
this long concealed atrOcty made by Ba-
con himself He found this confession
hidden in cipher that he extracted from
the epitaph above the bones OF Shakes
peare in the church Of StTatfOrd-On-AvO
When the revelation is made il will be or
peculiar interest to ignis Fatuus Don
nelly; but, while waiting for it, the reader
can see OH the very surface Of Shakes
peare's epitaph, which was possibly com
posed by Bacon, lines that may confirm
the suspicion of poisoning. Look at this
appeal "Forbear to dig the dust en-
closed here" and look al this curse
Gust be he who moves my bones.
This looks as though, just after Shakes
peare was buried, Bacon had reason to
dread the holding of corOner's inquest,
which might have brought his crime to
the light, and sent him TO the gallows
tree Let the facts be unearihed by the
Cohoes scholarly !. Sun.
