Washington the best of the FLIES.
English Lady aud DolIikens, the three
year-old FLIES, are both in fine fix and
will be heard from when they start,
whether that be at Memphis or Nash

Kentucky turtles rather fancy Proc
tor Knott in the lakewood handicap at
Chicago with 121 up. The eX-Futurity
winner is a great weight-carrier, and
Scoggan has repeatedly stated that any
handicap under 122 would suit him.
Turfmen here think Proctor Knott can
carry his 121 much better than Terra
Gotta. also a weight-carrier, can carry
his 12S. English Lady is also we'll
placed in this race at 101.
The doubt existing as to the eligibility
of Protection for the Kentucky Derby
has caused something of sensation in
turf circles here, as the junior cham
pion winner has many hackers who, I'M
til recently, had no suspicion as
to the clearness of Protec-
toms title in Kentucky's classic
event. The GLOBE correspondent,
after investigation, finds that the colt
was originally entered as king Charlie.
by imp. Prince Charlie, dam Manola."
Subsequently King Charlie was de-
clared, which declaration, if it holds
good, will of course bar Protection from
starting. Col. Clark, however, thinks
there has been an error committed some
where, and will overhaul the secretary'S
books to determine the matter. A point
or two will doubtless be stretched if
necessary to let Protection in. The
Jockey club management is not insen-
sible to Projections ability as draw
ing card in the big race. Little work
has been done at the track here for the
past few days, owing to bad weather.
A good many strings will pull out for
Nashville in the course of few days.

How They Pulled Lot of Men All
Over the Deck.

The English women are said to be
singularly robust. Dr.. Peter McSwinny.
surgeon of the Inman steamship City of
Chicago. tells me that there were
among the passengers of that ship,
bound for New York several years ago,
large contingent of the Wilson Bar
rett dramatic troupe. One day, for
the purpose of wearing away the
time, it was suggested that a GER
tain number of the Englishmen
aboard pull tug-of-war against an
equal number of the Americans aboard.
The proposition met with general pp-
prevail and the contest took place, the
Americans making very poor showing
against their sturdier cousins. There
upon the young women of the Barrett
company-there were about a dozen of
them-challenged an equal number of
the American gentlemen to tug-of
war, and. the challenge being accepted,
the way those girls yanked those men
over that deck was outrageous to de-
gree,

ROSES THAT ARE GREEN.
A Novelty In Flowers That Is Not

Screen roses are not rarity in Cali

1t was at Walkers Golden Gate nur-

green rose in Europe. think it was in
1859 that one was exhibited in Germany
at grand exposition.
IA green rose is nothing but hy-
brid, and, like all hybrid roses, it grows
hardy, healthy and tall. Some speci-
mems are larger than others, but they
are about the same. None Of them
have any perfume. It's petals resemble
green leaves. By skillful cultivation
green rose was produced from rose
whose sepals had the leafy character

seeds. The green rose has StamenS and
pistils. They are delicate greenish

crumpled, crowded green petals from

No one because of its beauty. It's not

SELLING DRY GOODS.
The Change Which Has Taken
Place in Business Methods.

The Change Which Has Taken
Place in Business Methods.
A change seems to be coming over
the habits, one habit, of the individual
who sells you dry goods behind the
counters of the big shops of this city.
He or she no longer importunes you to
buy, presses goods on you that you don't
want and with wealth of adjectiveS
praises the shops wares, conceals their
weak points and defects, and dwells
ANONYMOUSLY on their eXcellencies.
No longer when you ask for one
thing, which happens not to be
in stock at the moment, is
your time occupied by having other
things shown you, which are asserted
to be lust as good" and Every much
worn" This method has fallen into
disrepute in the big stores. More goods
were sold by it, perhaps, by the clerk
with the persuasive tongue than by any
other way. but so many people were
overpersuaded into buying stuff that
did not suit them. and afterward bore a
grudge against the firm, that big houses
with regulations to sustain and keen
and powerful rivals to compete with
now find it better 10 let the price do all
the talking.

Do We Appreciate Oratory 2

Hon. DANIEL DoUGHERTY, himself ono OF
the most popular speakers in this country,
Is of the opinion that oratory is declining
in the popular estimation, and that 1t Is
because the people prefer to read rather
than TO hear.
1t may be so in the North, but not here.
yirginians are still very fond of public
,peaking. They Will always turn out in
large numbers to listen 10 important ques-
tions discussed by able men, but 1t is a
fact that they require from those who
claim their attention something more than
diluted reproduction of newspaper ar
ticles.
The speaker who has good delivery
and some originality of expression, and
who is careful to prepare himself, can al
ways secure an appreciative audience II
this State. But the man who proceeds in
trite terms TO relate TO the people what he
and they have already read will find thai
such oratory is at discount. Nor will
the old sing -song, spread-eagle speeches
do. As the people grow more and more
intelligent the more they expect of those
who undertake TO address and instruct
them.
The thing for the orators TO do Is tC
learn before they begin to teach.

Evolution or What?

We believe, as everybody else does,
In the theory of evolution so far as
10 hold that our environment of to-
day is the natural, or we might say
the inevitable outcome of our environ
ment of yesterday. We believe, too, in the
theory taught in the following paragraph
of a letter that appeared in the Dispatch Of
yesterday:
MIR. ID Jones. our crack corn-farmer,
has been improving his seed corn for twen-
ty-fve years by purchase and careful Sc
lection. He gathers his seed from the stalk
in a sack-bag, never hating at stalk Of
less than two ears. and never sacrificing
size 10 numbers. This year much of his
seed came from stalks Of three and four
ears. and his whole crop wasa marvellous
ore-the best l ever saw on gray, sandy
Soil"
OF course the improvement of the soil
would have TO keeppace with the increased
production, But tins too, may be done.
The possibihtiesinvolyed in this theory, OF
these theories, we leave 10 other and wiser
men than We to enumerate.

Bronkers Ahead.

"Nothing succeeds like success This
Is q true saying. 1t has. however, an OBJ
jective signihcation-namely. that as oil
men are hero-worshippers they rush to the
support Of the man who has good luck.
Therefore success begets success. But to
the same saying we may give another and
o subjective meaning-namely, that no.
thing unbalances mans mind sooner
than too much success. He is very apt to
be ike the fly on the wheel in HsoPs
fable. and TO fatter himself that there IS
nobody who has a sagacity equal TO his.
We trust that the Farmers Alliances are
not going to allow their successes hereto
fore to knock them of their pins" The
Girondists Of France lost their wits before
losing all else. They halted when 1t was
dangerous TO halt. They were neither hot
nor cold. nnd therefore were spewed out
az the mouths OF their coun.rymen-after
time. However. we do not know how they
would have Jared II they had adopted q dill
ferent policy.
In this country about 1854 the American
or Know-Nothing party was organized. Its
success was wonderful. Its triumphs were
numerous. For time On unbroken series
Of victories seemed to crown the efforts OF
these Americans" But this was while
they refused 10 nominate any candidates
of their own for the various offices OF the
cities and towns and counties in which
their organization was power. a few
voters holding the balance of power
can accomplish wonders. So this new
American party. having no candidates OF
it's own. but choosing between the candi-
dates Of the Wing party and the Demo-
cratic party. carried election after election
in all parts Of the country. It's successes
were heard of oil over the Union-here,
there. and everywhere. In an evil day the
"Know-Nothings decided TO become a
third party. They nominated their own
candidates. In 1855 they made fight for
the possession of the offices in Virginia.
aud were defeated by the Democrats led
by HENRY A. WISE. A few years after
wards the new party died a natural death.
viii the farmers or the Farmers Alliances,
or the Citizens Alliances, proceed TO or
ganize n new third party, as some Of their
number seem disposed TO dor we 90 not
know, and we shall not be surprised
whether they shall or shall not set mp for
themselves. Az a Democrat, we should
regret to see any differences between the
Democrats and the farmers which could
not be settled before any and every cleo
ton. We mean that the policy pur-
sued by the Farmers Alliances IN
Virginia has seemed TO us TO be
wise and worthy of perpetuation. As
we have tried to show, the creed Of the
Democrats agrees with that of the farmers
10 many respects. Let both sides say
I'VE go where our principles leaa," and
act upon that saying. and they will both
profit 10y such course. On the other
hand, We think we can see breakers ahead
for both Democrats and the Farmers
Alliances if the latter set MP as a new party.

COUPONS IN PETERSBURG.
Responsibility for Placing the Costs of Ju-
ries on That Community.

To The Editor Of he Dispdich.
Your Petersburg correspondent in his
letter OF the 4th instant seems 10 complain
that under the law which requires sepa-
rate jury in each suit 10 compel the State
TO receive coupons the city Of Petersburg
Will be put 20 the expense of paying the
Jurors in the eighty hve new coupon cases
I. e., 1920 jurors IN all. This, be thinks,
will entail great deal of unnecessary
expense on the city, "as one jury might
as well try them all"
Your correspondent makes one mistake
that lies at the root of the whole matter.
The tax upon Petersburg is not imposed
by the law, but by tie eighty-fve men,
who. in order to escape a tax which, being
for the most part rich men, they can very
well afford. not only put II on the other
tay-payers in compelling them to make up
the sum the others have withheld from the
tax-collector, but also in compelling the
city. in its corporate capacity, TO pay the
tax which it costs to enable those rich
mon to save a sum that hardly one OF them
would miss if il was taken out of his
pocket.
Let the people of Petersburg show those
men what they think OF such conduct. and
not utter hopeless complaints against the
State. When proper manifestation OF
public displeasure fails TO reform these
coupon-payers they may possibly have
some color for petition asking the Legls-
lature TO revise its action.
SO far there is no evidence that they
have begun at the beginning.

complaint from her. Pro PATRIA.
