THE DAVIS MANSION PROJEC

During the summer the project of max
ing the Day' mansion the home of the
Confederate Memorial Literary Society has
been allowed to slumber. This has been
because many of those actively interested
in the plan have been away from Richmond
and because the measure necessary to its
fulfilment was pigeon-holed 10y the eXpira-
ton Of the term Of the City Council before
which it was brought.
The plan was originated last May by the
Ladies' Hollywood Memorial Association,
who did so much for the magnificent mo
mortal Of Robert +. Lee. They conceived
the appropriate idea Of making the Davis
mansion a library and museum Of Confed-
crate relics and archives, aud as means
10 that end secured the cooperation Of the
Southern Historical Society and the Viz
ginia Historical Society, neither Of which
has an accessible and permanent home de-
voted exclusively to its purposes.
The society was incorporated with the
following officers: Mrs. Joseph Bryan,
president; Mrs. John b. Cary, first vice
president; Mrs. James Thomas, second
vice-president; Mrs. W. W. Henry, third
vice. president; Mrs. NJ. Branch, fourth
Independent: Mrs. James b. Pace, fifth
Independent; Mrs. Governor l.. W. Me
Kinney, sixth yice-prcsiden,. The above,
with Mrs. Ann Grant, Mrs. Raleigh Colston,
Mrs. Daniel, and Mrs. Barney, were made
the incorporators OF the society; Miss Mary
Crenshaw, recording secretary; and Mrs.
4. c. Minor, corresponding secretary.
The society was incorporated by the Cir
cult Court of Richmond. But the resolu-
ton providing for the transfer of the build
ing and grounds of the Davis mansion
failed 10 be adopted because the Council be-
fore which il was offered ended its exist
ence in June.
According TO custom, any resolution pend |
ing at the time Of the expiration OF one
Council has 10 be brought up a. new bust
ness before another Council. II is hoped
that the friends Of the measure, which is
highly commendable, will urge II upon the |
present Council, 80 that the historic man
sion may be used as the home of that his
tory which is held sacred in the South.

SURPLUS or DEFICIT

The deduction Of different conclusions
from the same premises, according 10 pre-
conceived opinions, is very often observed,
and will continue to be observed as long as
the operations of different minds vary. 4
more striking instance Of different destina-
tons being reached by precisely the same
road has rarely been noted than that which
occurred IN the House on Tuesday, when
the conference report on the River and lIar-

Educate the Hands.

There has been much said of late years i'm
criticism of the system in vogue in our
schools. Whatever ground there may have
been, or is still existent. regarding the
number Of studies and the methods of in
struction, the fact remains that were the
hands TO be educated in mechanics the
pupils would reap wider benefit. in asso-
citation with their studies. Let a portion
of tine school hours be devoted to ,hc form of
education proposed. But in all the citicism
and iault-hnding that exists regarding the
methods in common school education the
truth should not be lost sight Of that those
controlling the educational system of the
country are earnestly striving TO obtain the
better way.

NATIONAL REPUBLICAN OUTLOOK.

Whatever may be thought Of the political
morality of Mr.. Clarkson, who has just re-
sighed the position of Assistant POstmas-
ter.General, probably because there were
no more Democratic pOstmasters left TO be
deca 1iiated, il is impossible 10 deny that he
Is a political manager Of the greatest
shrewdness ard discernment, and what is
far more notable still in politician of his
stripe, Of remarkable candor in his express
sion IF opinion as TO the prospects of his
na1ty. In an interview with representa-
,N5 4 the Philadelphia Inquirer, few
days ago, the distinguished Iowan said
very bluntly that the Republican party
would not have a walk-oyer IN the approach
ing Congressional elections; on the con-
trary, the party, in his judgment, had only
"A fighting chance, due to the fact that the
Democrats had gerrymandered the States
Of Ohio. Maryland, and Kentucky.
Upon this ground, Mr.. Clarkson based
his anticipation that the Republicans would
find ii difficult to obtain a majority IN the
next House, but il is quite plain from the
suggestions Of the sentiments he uttered,
that he was uneasy over the Congressional
outlook for his party for other reasons.
Thus he remarked in the course Of the in
terylew that "the President was willing to
turn his attention TO the strengthening of
the party lines where they were weak or
wayering,' an admission that the party
lines were in places showing signs Of giving
away, not before the Democratic assault,
for that has not begun, but before the force
Of public opinion thoroughly aroused by The
course Of the Republicans during the pres
ent session OF Congress.
Mr. ClarksOu is undoubtedly right in his
view of the situation, but it is too late for
his warning 10 improve the condition Of the
Republican organization as preparation
for the contest now impending. 1t must 20
before the people upon the record which it
has recently made. The leaders of the party
may throw all the energy which they can
command into the campaign. and employ
money with the utmost lavishnoss to secure
a triumph, but twill be impossible for them
TO conceal from the discerning American
public the true significance Of the story Of
their party during the last few months.
Upon fun exposure Of the Republican
legislative acts in that period, the Demo
Gratis can rely with perfect confidence for
success. They are already arousing them
selves Tor an exhibition Of the most resolute
activity in the approaching contest, and
this is all that will be required to insure a
victory.

lr is rather amusing 10 observe that the
President has just transmitted TO Congress
the recommendations o, the International
American Conference touching intema-
tional arbitration. He has been decidedly
dilatory in laying this very important docu-
ment before Congress; but even he, devoid
as he is of a sense of humor, must have been
struck with the incongruity Of forwarding
these recommendations at the time that the
people Of the Argentine Republic were on
the brink OF instruction, and the republics
of &c trail America were flying mt each
others 4roats. Never, il is true, was in
ternatonal arbitration more urgently called
for; but how poor the outlook for its being
recognized when the very parties who were
then so busy in fighting each other had been
the leading signcrs Of the document recon-
arbitration as the best method of
settling disputes, and had pledged them
selves solemnly to employ itin the future.

WHEN Republicans tall out, the Demo
Gratis are very likely to get their dues. There
is something very Cdilying in the attack
which Mr.. Kennedy, a Republican member
from Ohio, made on senator Quay in the de-
bate in the House on Wednesday, with re-
spect TO whether Mr.. Breckenridge, OF
Arkansas, should be unseatcd or not. "The
Republican party" ne declared, 'could not
afford TO follow the lead OF branded crimi-
nal, and such quay had been shown 10 be
on proof which could not be refuted. Let
him go and initiate the example of Judas
lscariot, whom he so closely resembled in
having sold himself for a price"
Mr.. Quay has been the target of Demo
cratic inNcctive fer number of years but
the language Of Mr.. Kennedy, a Republ-
can, surpasscs in bitterness all the previous
attacks that have been made upon his
character. The defeat Of the Force bill
seems TO have stimulated the powers Of Vi
tuperation and yulgarity possessed by the
leading Republicans in the House, and no
bounds have been set 20 the display of their
capacity in these respects.
