vase tho verse Of tho oldsong that comes
back at the least expected moment
What this country owes to its press
nobody has ever calculated, though there
is sometimes general acknowledgment
OF obligation. Indeed, there is strange
pcrverseness in tho people in hesitating
to admit their indebtedness 10 newspa-
pers. A good illustration OF this is shown
at the end CT each great political cam
paign. when the victorious party meets
in iubilation and proceeds to bestow
stars and garters, Offices and omoluments,
but never once stops TO think OF the
writers who have furnished to the speak
ers the mass of their facts-who have
given 10 the voters the brightest words
of encouragement and have hammered
the enemy with the most deadly effect.
But writer's alone cannot make news
papers successful. Unsupported by good
counting-room management, editors and
reporters are helpless. Hundreds OF
newspaper ventures launched upon
smooth seas, with what seemed fayorlng
gales, have gone to wreck because they
lacked business managers to pilot them.
Where successes have been achieved not
less than half the credit is due to the
business managers.
But enough of this. Our brethren
from all parts Of the state will soon be
here and will be heartily welcomed.
They come to a city distinguished by the
liie-work OF Richie, PIEAsANTs, BALD
WIN. DANIEL, MosELY, CowARDIN, Ben
NETT, and CHAslBEBLAYNE to their own
capital, lang syne the centre-piece IN
memorable battle-picture to business
community which is enjoying great pros
perity and which responds to the activity
pervading this Commonwealth, and, IN
addition to welcome from the general
public, they will receive the rough but
kindly greeting, the hand-shake and hos
pitality Of their fellow-workers.
Welcome.

for men Of judicial temperament In
ninety.ninc cases ont of hundred the
nromn. mediation OF sensible and manly
friends will settle difficulty which, II
allowed to proceed, will become dan
rerous and perhaps end in the loss OF
life.
Tho German army has its boards OF
honor and it is the grandest military
body on earth. The best and brayest OF
tho Fatherland servo in it; men from
priucely homes, men crowned with uni
yersity honors, men SCARED by battle
and siege, wear its uniform, and they do
not hesitate to refer their disputes to
arbitration. II is rare that duel be-
comes necessary.
The report OF the Court OF Enquiry
and the orders of General SHIP
accept the verdict Of the press and pub
bic against the cadets custom OF personal
combats. They will not be permitted in
the future. We feel sure OF this. 1t
will never do for the institute to condone
n like offence, or indeed any serious
breach OF order The fact that 1t Is
a military institute leads the public to
expect the maintenance of stringent dis
cinline and the visiting OF swift and
severe punishment upon offenders.
Now that all this is settled-now that
the Board of Honor is to come-the
friends of the institute (who include oil
the good people of this State) will
greatly rejoice and viii renew their devo-
ton TO its interests.

Railroad DETERMINATIONS.

The farmers throughout the State are
deeply interested in the work OF the
Chamber of Commerce to secure better
State regulation of railroads.
A number of inquiries for information
are being sent here, and the subject will
be acted on through the alliances.
Several OF tn ese organizations have
already joined the movement.
The invitation of the Chamber for q
cooperation of our fellow-citizens of the
entire State in this important matter
has been accepted, and unless we greatly
exaggerate the force Of the movement on
foot the railroads viii find it to their IN
terest to grant those reforms which the
people of the State so justly demand.

To the Edifor Of the Dispatch:
In speaking OF the horns of two or
more deer would you say deer'shorns or
deer-horns? a.
The word "deer" is both a singular
and O plural noun. 1t may also be used
as an adjective or made part of a COM
pound noun. For example, we might
write: "He has twelve deer's horns (;
or, "He has twelve deer horns"; or,
He has twelve deer-horns." We can
not say that any one of these three ez-
pressions would be wrong; but the last
seems TO US to be the best. Tho com
pounding Of the words "deer" and
"horns" prevents ambiguity. Perhaps
it would DO best to compound the
words "deeT's and "horns.

Cadets Board Of Honor.

The recommendation OF a board Of
honor or committee Of arbitration made
to the Virginia Military Institute cadet
corps in the general orders OF the Super
intendent will no doubt cause the adop-
ton OF this sensible mode of settling
differences between the boys.
The suggestion OF q board was first
made by the DISPATCH, and We were
led to propose the plan by converse.

The Terccntcndry of the Spanish
Armada's Dcshucti0n. BY Rev.
JAMES LITTLE, I NJ. A. WILLIAM
BRIGGs, Toronto, publisher. For sale
by j. w. RANDOLPH ~ ENGLISH.
This is en- interesting book. 1t was
first published about two years ago on
the occasion OF the three hundredth an
niversary of PHmp's famous fasco.
With the general features OF this impor-
tant event OF modern history the average
reader is familiar, but for an exhaustive
account Of the conditions, influences,
and motives that led up to it, and its far
reaching consequences, political and re-
Igious, it will be necessary to consult
Mr.. LITTLE. The author exhibits much
painstaking research and has had access
to sources of information not heretofore
enjoyed by writers generally. His sym
pathies are with England and Queen
BEss. of course, but less partisanship
would have been an improvement in
historical work. He has told the story
well, however, and barring some careless
writing the book will commend itself to
intelligent readers
Mr.. LITTLE is now, we believe, resi-
dent of Richmond.

rs cents.
This is thoroughly readable novel.
1t deals with The devotion OF sister to
her brothers happiness, even to the
sacrifice OF her own. ANNA MARIA Won
HRGEwITz is an imperious, high-strung
aristocrat, who stiles her own love that
she might remain and watch over her
brother KLAUS. AS usual, her care and
self-irnmolstion are unrewarded. KLAUS
Is ensnared by hght-hesded beauty OF
low birth, msrries her. and is done TO
death by her thoughtless and frivolous
selfshness. There are misunderstand-
ings and various other complications,
causing heartaches innumerable, at the
end OF which ANNA MARIA finds her
happiness, thus preventing complete
tragedy. The author knows human
nature. We like the German minute
ness and fidelity to truth. The ransla-
ton is excellent, and the Typography
and illustrations are oil that could be de-
sired.

10 Tie EHitor of the Dispatoh:


To the Editor of the DiSpatch:
We have q dispute in our neighbor-
hood as to which was in power when the
tax was put on distilled fruits andhome-
made tobacco-the Democrats or the
Republicans. If you remember please
let us know in your next issue, and You
will greatly oblige your friend,
SAMUEL $. Brooks.
The Republican party was inpower OF
that time. The tax on tobacco in lSG5-
when the Democrats had no strength
worth speaking of in either branch OF
Congress-was, We think, 40 cents
pound, and it was still moro oppressive
on whiskey and fruit-brandy-S2 gal
lon, perhaps. But the revenue derived
from distilled liquors was largely in
creased when then tax was reduced to
less than a dollar per gallon.
