The Democratic convention has probably
settled one thing for good many years to
come, and that is the futility Of attempts to
resubmit the prohibitory amendment. The
advocates OF the scheme worked hard

say they mustered all the strength thew
could. Yet they were defeated by a large
majority. And probably if their Proposition
had not been somewhat disguised thew would
have been beaten by a still larger one. The
truth is, as we have frequently had occasion
TO observe, that prohibition has ceased to he
a question between the two parties in this
State. There are people in both parties who
don't believe in 1t and would like to try some
other system, but the majority of both sup
port it. The opposition is more numerous
among the Democrats than among the Re-
publicans, but it is in minority even among
the former. II is reasonable to assume,
however, that the law will be better enforced
by the party which contains in it the small
est amount of opposition, and as that party
is the Republican, it follows that the enforce
ment of the probibitory law can be more
safely entrusted to that party than to the
Democrats.

ear Of Matilda Oresch, a tcn-year-old girl,
were wrenched of by her hair getting
caught in a shaft. Attempts to place the
scalp back and make IT grow were futile.
The wound was so large that It would re-
quire tremendous graft 20 save the child.

old. who knew what was wanted, offered
to spare her skin for the purpose.
The doctors put both girls under the in
fuence of chloroform aud then cut piece
Of flesh eight inches long and five inches
wide from Emma's side and breast; that IL,
they cut ali but one side Of it,. The loose
end was then stitched 10 the fesh on Ma
tida's head and the two littloo ones tied to-
gether so that they could not pull apart.

night both little ones were conscious and
Emma evidently suffered much pam, but

Virginia Justice.

We call the attention of the northern Re-

cAsion for denouncing the southern people
IA "robels" TO the decision of the Supreme
Court Of Appeals of Virginia, reported IN
yesterdays Dispatch in the case OF FINLEY

certain church property in Northumoer-

Supreme Court of Appeals Of Virginia,
consisting of five judges, unanimously de-
cided in favor Of the northern Methodists
We are not surprised at this decision,
though we are not familiar with the facts,
but we suppose it was based upon the plan
Of separation adopted by the General Con-
ference OF the Methodist Episcopal Church
in 1874, or thereabOut, under which plan
churches on "the border" line between
the North and the South were accorded the
right 10 adhere TO the Methodist Eplsco-
pal Church. or 10 attach themselves to the
newly organized Methodist Episcopal
Church. South, a. they might elect The
property in Northumberland county was,
we take it. he'd 10y persons adhering to the
old Methodet Episcopal Church. The
Baltimore Conference, which extends
over q large norton Of Virginia, adhered
TO the Methodist Episcopal Church,
or northern Church. notwithstanding the
fact which appeared in 1861, that these adj
herring Methodists were as true TO the
South as their brethren who withdrew
from the northern Church under the plan
Of separation of ls4. of course, not all OF
these adherents proved true 10 their peo-
pie, but as a general rule they did. But
the war welded the Virginia people to-
gether and the church property in North
cumberland county was, We suppose, re-
tanned by the same persons who had al
ways used it, though these had become
members of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. South. They considered that the
equitable title to it was theirs, though the
legal title might be in other persons.
But we intended merely to call the atten-
ton of some of the northern malisnants TO
this decision as one exemplifying Virginia
justice. It proves that our judges are
now, as always heretofore, ready to hold
the scales in equal poise, let who will be
concerned in the result Of their dehbera-
tions as ministers of the blind goddess.

Orr latest advices are that Mr. PARNEtL
wil not voluntarily retire from the leader
shin Of the Irish Parliamentary party, and
that the great mass Of the people whose
cause he represents viii not ask him to do

While there are some who think that he
has hopelessly injured himself and home
rule, the large majority take the ground
that he is still worthy of all confidence as
leader, and agree that this is mo time

Mr.. PARNnL himself declares that this is
q question for his people and not for
English politicians. We cannot suppose
that he includes Mr.. GLADSTONE IN this du-
bious characterization, for while il is true
that the Irish can get along very well with
out the politicians" TO lose thesympatby
and cordial support Of Mr.. GLADSTONE and
ell tho Englishmen who look up 10 him
would be quite different matter.
We take II that Mr. PARNELL and his as
soeiates know that until they have secured
the help Of the English electors, they have
absolutely no prospect of obtaining for Ire
land those governmental reforms which is
the mission Of their organization. Yet in
many of their meetings recently held the
idea has been set forth that for Mr.. PAR

Mr.. CLEVELAND is developing into great
orator. He has hitherto been recognized
as n speaker of solid rather than snowy at
tainments. but the way he answered Mr..
DEpEw's writings at the New York Cham
Der OF Commerce banquet proves that he
is quick and bright at repdrtee, and elo-

He has made three speeches within the
past two weeks and each one was capitally
suited TO the occasion and well-shaped to
advance his aspirations.
We conclude that he is now fully launch
