A Sure Plan.

Some of the sisters have caught
the cue to manufacture "No License"
votes. They are investing in educa-
tive literature, which is to be lavishly
distributed among the brethren.
These leaflets are sharper than two
edged sword and cut to the dividing
asunder Of the man and the party
that fails to serve the high aims and
purposes which gave it birth.
Sisters, the election is upon us;
send to the W. C. T. U. headquarters
and get suitable literature to place in
every voter s hand. Show the persever-
ance and zeal Of the enemy, without his
subtlety and intriguery. Do not sit
with folded hands, doing until the
foe intrenches himself within his
strongholds, then bewail your sad
fate, and call out for the mountains
to fall upon you that you may be rid
OF your sorrow.

they have everything in their favor
but the whisky dealers and the mod

up to our expectations; they manage
to keep neck-and-neck with the fore
most and sometimes little ahead.
They now boast of convention (dis-

most interesting meeting for the

and the betterment of our world.
On Sunday evening she lectured 10
a large audience, who showed their
appreciation by their profound atten-

most impressive music, the selections
being taken from our own "Glorious

There are two very serious drawbacks
to the attractivsnsss of the Capitol
Square. One Of these has been frequent
lv referred to in cur columns, namely.
the presence Of convicis, dressed in their
prison garb, and moving about from
point to point almost as freely as If
they were as much at large as the ordi-
nary visitor. There is fortunately a
prospect Of the removal Of this evil by
tho terms Of the bill now before the
General Assembly, under which honest
labor will be substituted for convict in
the Square.
The second draWb back referred to Is
the irsn fence that surrounds the Square,
which gives the latter, at some distance,
the appearance Of beiEg fortified place,
or upon a nearer approach, when the
convicts at work within the enclosure
are observed, the appearance Of very
we'll kept psnitsntiary area. Is not this
iron fence a relic, we will not say OF
barbarism, but of an age that is'past 2
What is the present offset Of its exist
esoey 1t is certainly not allowed TO
stand because it is beautiful. Test it by
by every conceivable aesthetic standard,
and there is,every reason to believe that
it will be found deficient in this respect
There is no effort even to attain to
beauty in the design.
1t is difficult to see in what it's useful
ness consists. Admission to the capitol
grounds through the gateways is
lust ss unobstructed as if no
fence existed. These grounds are
under the supervision of special police
during the day, and could be placed
under the same supervision at night
Ii cannot be said that the fence is a pro-
lection to the squirrels even, as the in
tervsl between the bars is not sufficiently
narrow to keep out all the dogs that
try to get in.
To all appearances, therefore, this
iron fence is an sncumbrance. without
enc claim to consideration on tho score
Of beauty of design or practical useful
ness. 1t is retained in a spirit Of con-
servstism that seemingly lie not Jusii-
ned from any point Of view. Let it be
removed, and either a hedge, like that
skirting Monroe Park, be substituted in
it's place, or let the area Of the Square
join the sidewalk Without any object to
mark the division line.

Some time since the TINES called edi-
torial attention TO a meeting Of the
Evangelical Alliance OF this city, in
which the subject Of the present ex-
travagance in funeral observances, was
discussed in a very able and interesting
manner. AT that meeting, a committee
consisting Of Rev. Drs. Newton, Moser,
Hatcher and Cutler, under the chair
manship Of Rev. DR.. Hoge, was appoint
ed to draft a report as to the reforms
that should be made in these observ-
ances. The report which has been
adopted by the committee, and which
will be found elsewhere, is full Of the
most practical observations and the
W isest recommendations
Especially just and timely are the
references to the costumes Of funerals,
which, as the report declares, appears

people in this age. when it is growing

PIHITC LIBRARY.

At the meeting in this city, Friday
night in celebration of the anniversary
Of Benjamin FrankIin's birthday, both
DIR. Curry and Mr.. Thomas Nelson Page
referred in the addresses delivered by /
them. among other speakers on that oc-
casion. to the increasing need Of a pub
lie library in Richmond. This need IS
keenly felt, not only by those who read
merely for pleasure, but especially by
those who have frequent reason to con-
sult various authorities in general lines
Of investigation. When the population
Of Richmond and its environment is re-
called. itseems decidedly discreditableto
the intelligence as well as the enterprise
Of oui people that they should not have
in their midst q thoroughly equipped
circulating library. The Libraries Oh
the State and Of the Young Men s
Christian Association, and whatever
collections of current literature there
may be in the clubs, are naturally Inn
tied in their usefulnessandh hardly come
under the description Of circulating
libraries like those IN other cities. The
absence Of public library in Richmond
appears all the more insIplicable IN the
light Of the fact that no where would
such a library be more fully utl-
lied and enjoyed than here. The aver
age number Of reading people IN tins
city. we venture to say, compares very
favorably with the average In cities oil
the same size at the North, although
the number 10 by no means so large as
il would be if the taste for reading was
further cultivated by ready access to
varied collection of books.
There is no ground for anticipating
that Richmond will possess a public
library until some millionaire eithor IN
his life time or by will shows his good
sense as well as his philanthropy by
giving or devising large sum for the
erection of the necessary building and
he purchase of the books required

tors and Pratts are vet to arise. and 1t 10

In the progress Of party evolution
some strange Inconsistencies are be-
trayod. As 3 party the Republicans
profess strong desire to prohibit the
consumption OF liquors, and 10 restrain
the vice of tobacco smoking. At the
same time. the Republican members Of
Congress are endeavTing TO cheaper
whisky and tobacco to the masses Of
consumers by repeating the fiscal taxes
on these commodities.
The Republicans loudly proclaim that
their policy is to promote the CONNER
cial prosperity Of the country by giving
liberal subsidies to American steamship
lines. Yet, while making this profes-
sion, their representatives. IN Congress
are busily devising increased duties on
imports for thu purpose of obstructing
with the nations of the world.
While advocating prohibitory liquor
laws, the Republicans seek to Increase
the consumption of whisky. While
vooing commerce with steamship sub
sides, they smile it in the face with pro-
hibitory tariffs. Can party hope to
retain public confidence in the face Of
such gross Inconsistencies Of policy

NORTHERN ASSOCIATIONS OF Suns
OF VETERANS.


There has been no organization IN the
history Of this country which has IN a.
many important respects served worse
rurpose than the Association OF Vets
rams of the Grand Army Of the ko-
rublic Formed ostensibly with view
10 cherishiog those patriotic impulses
and sentiments which had been Illus
trated in the valor Of the Federal
,oldierv on the battle field. the original
object Of the organization has been per
,etted to the most unpatriotic and pre-
indeed ends. From the beginning, 1t
lppears to have had but one aim, to give
expression to the sectional hostility and
narrow partnership which have always
distinguished its members. The most
disgraceful scenes that have taken place
in contemporary history, have been
enacted at the meetings of this organ
cation sentiments, the most opposed TO
good will and peace between North ana
South. have been uttered on the same
occasions. that have had a currency
throughout the whole country.
The commanders of the organization
have thought it necessary, from time
10 time, to out Hsrod Herod. and II
CONSEQUENCE they have, wills hardly an
execution, been The most notorious rep
rescntatives Of all that is mean in sentl-
ment and odious in feeling TO DO founo

hatred of the South is nursed as care
fully and sacredly as if 1t were reli-
zion. Foraker. Fairchild, Alger are
names that are associated in the miBd'

hateful in their relations with the
masses Of people at the North.
1t had boon hoped that as time went
on. the sectional feeling of the G. A. X.
would be modified, as its membership
was diminished by death, but this does
not seem to be the Gaze. In order that
this feeling may be sustained and prop
agated further, even where the original
membership Of the organization has en-
tirely disappeared, associations Of the
Sons of Veterans are now being formed
in many parts Of the North. These as
sociatiors propose to foster the general
spirit Of the present G.. A. r. organiza
ton and TO continue its general BUR
pose for an indefinite time.
The fact is that the Sons Of Veterans
Associations. like the G. A. R., are es
sentially political in character, and al
the Republican party can only exist a.
long as the sectional antipathy growing
out OF the war survives, the sons OF
veterans, like the veterans themselves
recognize that this sectional antipathy
must be nourished in the most system
attic way. We believe that the time II
approaching when the great economic
questions now pressing for settlement
will completely override at the North
all purely sectional antagonisms, and
when this day arrives, all association
formed for purposes similar to those
which the Sons OF Veterans have II
view. will lose their Importance, aud
itisto be hoped, will be compelled tC
disbaud because their occupation II
