isolate ourselves. No man can SAY, II be-
long TO myself, my time is my n..wn. and
am an independent beingl" l,ot SO; he

cultivate and understand his fr.ternal OBJ

are the monsters of society. with their
sckles they reap all the highlands,

lands of the world on which grain

ease, thou hast much goods!" That is the
crime OF the day against society. In the
day Of Cardinal Wolsey there was not a
man In the British empire thGt had his
political power and influence. al, all OF 1t
is gone; not shred now remayns, except
one of the colleges in the University of Ok
ford which he founded and built "A college
called Cardinal College" and afterwards
"Christ's College" In that college have
been educated some Of the greatest philan,
thropists, some Of tho greatest political
writers that Great Britain ever produced:
II only Wyclihe and John Wesley had
been educated there. | say Wolsey would
not have lived IN vain. Can anybody re-
call one rich man that lived in England IN
the days of Charles l.? There is not ono
whose fame liveth but who built public
works or did something for the communl-
ty in which he lived. Depend upon 1t
some have made very narrow escapes from
oblivion. Would the name Of stephen
Girard have gone down TO posterity II he
had not founded that great college

Practical Politics.

Boss QUAY is not suddenly enamoured OF
Democracy. Neither is he politically any
too good friend Of the South. He sim
ply realizes that there will be moro " fat to
fry" out of northern manufacturers and
other businessmen who incline to radical
ism in the not very distant future, and he
is anxious that the production of the fat
shall be as little interfered with as posi-
BILE. The enactment into law of so revolu-
tionary a measure rs the force bill would
tend 10 unsettle business generally, and
the North would suffer along with the rest
of the country. SO Mr.. QUAY sticks to his
" order-of-business " idea and changes the
terms of his proposition as may be ne
cessary TO win supporters. A distinctly
practical politician is QUAY.

The Grant Monument.

The New York people have been aroused
10 the importance of speedy action in the
GRANT monument matter by the PLUMB
resolution In the House. And well they
should be. for it would seem the people at
large are not disposed to rest content with
the pomp and parade with which the late
general of the armies was laid to rest, since
the promises through which New York
made great harvest out Of a funeral are
still unfulflled. Chairman Coils, of the
Executive Committee of the Grant Monu-
ment Association, has called meeting Of
the committee for to-day. 1t Is said they
will decide to 90 to work at once on the
monument with the funds in hand (Sl5O,-
O0O). with the hope that this amount will
be increased to $500 900 by next year.
Had one SHEPARD shown half the zeal in
this work that no did venom against the
South's tribute 20 LEE the friends OF Gene
raj GRANT in New York would not now be

The Finest Crops in Twenty Years.

To Tie Editor of he Dispatch:
have Just returned from trip through
the counties of Amelia, Powhatan, Cum
berland, and Buckingh hama part OF the
Black Belt. knowing the interest you
manifest for the farmers, / would state
that they have the finest crops OF corn
growing through this section that they
have had for twenty years. and II would
do your heart good 70 see the cheerful
countenances OF the tarmers-so dlnerent
from the gloom and depression of last fall.
For several years their corn and hay crops
have been very short. In former years
this was the finest tobacco-growing
section In Virginia. This year, although
the acreage is not very large, the tobacco
has been we'll cared for, and have never
seen finer growing crops. l was surprised
to see il so far advanced at this season
large. rich. broad-leaved, large fields OF II
fully grown and remarkably uniform IN
size In some places portion OF the crop
has already been cut. A very large area Of
land in this section that was cleared and
cultivated in tobacco twenty-five or thirty
years ago has grown up in pines, and when
the pines are cleared OF and the land cul-
tivated in tobacco II produces the very
finest crops. the growth of pines having
resuscitated the land. These productive
lands can now be bought for from S3to $40
per acre, and there is no healthier or finer
climate in the world. What field for
industrious and thrifty emigrants of
limited means. During my absence Wis
tied my old home. Clifton Place, situated
on the old Buckingham road, in Bucking-
ham county few miles from New Store,
where our present honored Governor lived
until after the war. and about twenty miles
east of AppomattoX Courthouse. General
Grant made Clifton Place his headquarters.
and here IT was that his first dispatch was
written TO General Lee demanding the sur.
render Of the Army Of Northern Virginia.

II is not with the desire of being in favor
that we commend the petition Of citizens
TO the Common Council protesting against
the insutferable noise made upon our
streets by the electric street-cars. We re-
cognize that but too often IL is the grow

IMMUNITY and without cause impersonal

cepsure by too-ready public But in the
present instance our citizens have just
cause for complaint. The Main-Street

Is being dispensed with an impressivepess
that makes il an absolute nuisance to the

be demonstrated that such is not the case.

District-Attorney GRAHAM, Of Philadel-
phia, has been recently through the South,
and joins the honest company of northern
ers who see things as they really are with
US. He looked about him without preju-
dice while down this way, and hence ex-
presses himself with respect to the force
bill as follows: IAN appeal TO the use OF
forceful means could only take place at
best under circumstances of doubtful pro-
priety. Such an appeal would create wide
spread distrust and disorder and seriously
affect the growing confidence, harmony,
and good will which, like new tissue over
a wound, are covering the scars of war and
bringing us all together in oneness, as a
people full of LOYALTY and love for our CON-
mon country ana the old flag"

Governor Gordon's Letter.

Elsewhere we print an open letter from
Governor GoBDoN, of Georgia, which APP
pears IN the New York Herald this morning
and which, explanatory of the Governors

the LODGE bill and the proposed boycott
by the South in retaliation. We repro
duccd the telegram Immediately after its
publication. Governor GORDON now com
plains that the spirit in which he wrote
his telegram was generally misinterpreted.
We are glad TO note this. We are anxious
TO see the distinguished Georgian righted
wherever he may have been misunder-
stood. The spirit of the boycott in gene
raj is certainly un-American and unwise.

We would counsel the friends OF the va

jealous in their work. With eloquence
and wisdom speak in praise OF your
favorite, but utter no word of reproach
against his opponent, lest 1T become as

a negro who recently came here from the
South. ran amuck on Douglas avenue yes
terday. and one man 10 in a dangerous con-
dition and two others are badly hurt. He
was evidently crazed with liquor Without
the least warning he knocked James Smith
senseiess with "A rock and jumped on hum
and hammered HIM with the rock, while
his bulldog, a vicious brute, chewed
Smiths leg Michael Shield attempted TO
Assist Smith and smashed him over the head
with "A cane and then sought another
weapon. Before he returned the negro
had cut a man named Schneider with q
razor and struck Joseph Marawitz. who at
tempted TO Interfere, with a rock, In
iurlng him internally. Finally the four
men whipped the darky and turned hlrll
over to policeman. The negro knocked
the officer down and also attempted TO kill
another officer in the station-house. He was
eventually locked up with his face badly
battered. Had 1t not been for the Interior
ence the negro would have killed Smith,
whom he first attacked.

that some such halt as this would be called

their influence to the rescue of part OF

is in the highest decree creditable to them

Democratic banner to victory. The man
who can rally to his support not only
every Democratic vote. but some of the
doubtful ones in addition, is the man the
convention should look TO. This is no
time for sentiment. The work should be
done in calm. thoughtful, and business
