CONGRESSIONAL Elections-Again.


4 IL is an important point in the discus
sion of the power of Congress over con-
gressional elections to know what isl
meant in the Federal Constitution by
the word "places" as this word is there
lin used in speaking Of the election of,
members of Congress. We have in mind
tof course paragraph LIST of section 4, (
which reads:
i 1.-The times, places, and manner of
holding elections for Senators and Repre-
sentatiges shall be prescribed in each,
State 10y the Legislature thereof but,
the Congress may at any time 10y law
make or alter such regulations except as
3 to the places of choosing senators"
i We have examined the speech OF Mr.
3TUcKRR which we mentioned yesterday,
but find that he has not cleared up
this point By the way, let us say that
s the Republicans in the House OF Repre-
ssentatives were some of them inclined
Ito "chalf" Mr.. Tucker about his at
tempt to override the Supreme Court,
but he gave them "as good as they
ssent," and the subject was dropped.
In the party which had packed the
supreme Court of the United States in
order to have a greenback decision re-
versed, it was impudence indeed to talk
to Democrat about overriding that tri-
bunal.
+ Why was not Congress allowed to
make or alter regulations "as TO the
|places of choosing senator's ?" Where
should they be chosen AT the capital
of each State, we take it. Where else
would Congress desire them to be
chosen =?
But LET the word "places" mean what
it will, it cannot justify the force bill.
We have more Federal laws already than
we ought to have which were intended
+ to limit the power of the several States
over the election of members of the
House of Representatives We need no
more-certainly no such law as the force
bill would be If enacted into statute.
"a We have required 10 this subject be-

Nclosed their interview on the subject.

the Republican party is not immortal.

Announcement of Richmond.

The Chamber of Commerce on We'd
pesday resolved that a standing commit
tee on advertising should be raised.
+ This is well. 1t is what we have long
wanted. Properly organized and sus-
.ained it will make known our attrac-
tons to the great world beyond the
borders of Virginia. In this State the
Richmond papers circulate in large
numbers and advertise the city daily
without cost TO the Chamber, but We
must adopt other means to reach New
England and the West. In the first
place, we will have to summarize and
set forth the advantages OF Richmond /;
the opportunities it offers to newcomers,
and the special inducements we ore pro-
pared to extend. Then We must deter
mine whether we will circulate this in
formation through books, maps, circu-
lars. and advertisements inserted In
newspapers or by these means and IN
addition by the services OF a travelling
man.
What we are going to do let US do
forthwith. The Chamber now has the
membership and the means TO enable 1t
10 accomplish great work in this direc-
ton. BY the first day of February we
ought to have all our machinery ready to
be put in motion at the touch of master
hand-that is to say, at the signal OF the
chairman of the Committee on Adver-
Using, who should be a man OF brains
and ingenuity who can and will give
the Chamber a great deal OF his time.
We know Of no scheme that promises to
Richmond one half the good this does.
and we earnestly hope it will be put into
immediate and vigorous execution.
4 The Chamber has made another good
move in resolving to elect large num-
Der OF honorary members from other
cities and the counties Of the State, and
as soon as the advice of these can be OBJ
tanned the proposed convention in the in
terest of railroad reforms will be ar
ranged.

EXCITING ELEVATOR RIDE.

which was not far from the Bank of
England, to see q friend who was on the
top floor. In the corridor saw a num-
Der Of boxes following one another up

attached to an endless chain, and were
large enough to hold several persons.
81 looked at the machine IN some
doubt, when suddenly man stepped out
,of one OF the boxes, or cars, which was
coming down. The car, which was
going at what seemed to me a rather
rapid rate of speed, dld not stop, the

being turned upside down at the top of.

tains its upright position. This is due
to the fact that only the roof OF the car

FOOTBALL CRAZE.
INTENSE EXCITEMENT AT THE

i LEXINGTON, VA, November 27.-
There has been more excitement here
during the past twenty-four hours than
we have had for many day. The coca
sion was football match between
Washington and Lee and the University
of Virginia for the championship of the
South. Last night about 10 o'clock a
train-load of University students rolled
into L exington, and shortly afterwards
the lobby of the Irwin Hotel was one
seething mass of college boys. Wine,
beer. and whiskey flowed IN streams, and
the boys shouted loudly to one another.
4 TWO TO ONE on THE 'vARsTr1Es.
4 Many jumped on chairs waving money
and bets were made anywhere from two
TO ono to twenty to one on the University
Of Virginia team. To-day every one in
town kept holiday. The cadets joined
in TO swell the throng Of home and visit
ing students. The betting and drinking
scenes OF last night were re-enacted.
Then at % o'clock crowds OF college
bows and citizens poured across the fields
towards the football grounds. After
the game began it took but few min
utes TO show that the Washington and
Lee team were no match for their oppo-,
nents.
THE CAPTAIN HORs DE COMBAT.
4 True the former were handicapped by
several good men being unable to play,
and shortly after playing began their
captain, Jcnes, was hurt severely and
carried off the field. But had they had
all their best players they could have
done nothing with the University boys
OUT OF SIGHT.
The latter played quickly, rushed
strongly, blocked beautifully, and ran
swiftly. mean while putting in little
smuggling every time they could con-
veniently do SO without being seen by
the umpire.
i DID THEM UP.
In short, they did Just about what they
pleased with the ball and easily rolled
up a score OF 60 TO 0.
ALAS ALAS
The Washington and Lee boys, with
stomachs full of Thanksgiving turkey,
but with empty pocket,books and blasted
hopes, are sitting around gloomily and
silent, meditating upon the vanity OF
human wishes.

Nils intellectual grasp was great, and
liz he had aspired to literature he
would have succeeded rs admirably as
he did as businessman.
He was man OF strong passions, bnt
long habit OF holding them in restraint

from his mother was often boil
ing in his veins when those by his
side little knew il. lie had learned that
he that is "slow to anger is better than.
the mighty and he that ruleth his,
spirit than no that taketh city" His
toleration Of drinking-men was some
thing wonderful to those who knew his,

talked with him on the subject he would
say, with one of those lustrous smiles
which linger in the memories OF his,

I Another characteristic was that he.
never shirked any duty, and when dis.
agreeable work was to be performed he,
preferred to do it himself rather than.
impose it upon a subordinate.
For two or three years Mr.. EIIYsoN

i No man who truly knew HENRY X.
ELLYsoN can doubt his piety. His was,

his Church and was its ever ready cham

Richmond College had loving and zeal-i

and father never lived. He delighted.
TO have children about him, and in thel
long rambes he was accustomed to take
about the city, n little troop of boys and.
girls was always found with him. His.
last business direction was to have a.

4 He knew that he would never be q,
well man again, but death came to him
with great sudienness. We who had
the benefit of his fatherly counsel and
know the rectitude OF his life and the,
frmness of his trust need not to be-
persuaded that tho transition was from
sickness to health, from darkness to,
light, from daily cares to perpetual
happiness.

The Richmond Christian Advocatc
commenting upon decision OF the SUI
preme Court Of Appeals, to which we
have referred several times lately, says {:
elf this is correct statement the
Virginia justices must not have given
heed TO the famous decision in the Su-
preme Court of the United States when
it was laid down that the separation
among Methodists was division, not q
secession, and that the northern Church
was not "the original denomination.
This wasa case in which giants wrestled
and the chief churches were litigants.
"Can it be possible that our judges
never heard Of that case? Nor read the
decree ?"
We know nothing as to the merits OF
f. the case and referred to it onlyas showing
how liberal "rebel court would be to
Jour northern brethren.

4 GLASGOW, Va, November 27.-The'
Duke and Duchess of Marlborough spent
last night in their private car on the rail-
road siding here and left this morning
for New York. The Duke spent yester-
day afternoon with Major Anderson and
Professor Proctor in riding over the
mineral properties OF the company and
examining ore deposits. he was SO
much pleased with the prospects that on.
his return he gave Major Anderson an
order for fifty thousand dollars of stock
in the new company organized in Eng
land and known as the Glasgow Town
Company, which recently placed one
and half million dollars IN the stock OF
the Rockbridgo Company.
THE DUCHESS PLEASED.
. This large order from one who has
made a personal examination of the pro-
perties will undoubtedly place the stock
of the company at premium in Lon
don. The Duchess before her departure
expressed herself as more pleased with
Glasgow and its prospects than any other
town she had visited in the South.
BoBBING AROUND WITH THE KODAK.
An amusing incident occurred yester-,
day when his Grace was bobbing around
with his camera in search of objects
worthy of place of record in the ducal

and has an absent-minded way Of pro-
ceeding about what he has to do. Having

can in rapidity and peculiarly English in
character.

Before be was aware OF it he was halt
ed suddenly in front of an enterprising
young westerner, who had brought his
fifteen-dollar Kodak outfit with him, and
was engaged in the very act Of catching
the Duke on the fly. The crowd had,
gathered to watch the duel OF cameras,
and cheer was given when it was seen
that the young American from the Pork
City had drawn first blood. The Duke
retired from the scene in disgust.
