There were, perhaps 20 persons seated
around room about II feet square. Two
TIN horns, abut three feet long, were stood
on the floor in the middle of the room and

whether she made any demonstration or not.

MIR. Blaine.

We do not credit the report that Mr..
BLAINE has consented to become candi-
date for the next Republican nomination
for President of the United States, or
rather has agreed to play double game IN
reference to that nomination. We cannot
believe that he could be induced by even
his towering ambition" to pursue a
course of conduct unworthy of his name
and fame. He has perfect right to TO-
sign his seat in the Cabinet and announce
his willingness to accept that nomination,
but it would not consist with the customs
of the country for him to remain in ofice
Is a member of Mr.. HARRIsoN's Cabinet
and be at the same time competitor with
that gentleman for the highest Office in the
land, or, to phrase 1T differently. to be an
avowed supporter-the mainstay he ought
TO be-of the incumbent President and at
the same time secret opponent. Oi
course. MIR. HARRISON will not be.a party to
any such conduct. He will require MIR.
BLAINE to be either Harrisonite OF
Blainoite. He win not allow him to blow
hot and cold with the same breath.
But the rumor is not true. Mr.. BLAINE
is not going to besmirch his own reputa
ton. He will decline or resign-declint
the nomination for President or resign
from the Cabinet.

Longevity.

Inasmuch as the DISPATCH has over and
over again published the names Of cele-
brated persons who were proven to have
lived over one hundred years, it is nom
sense to say that it "does not believe in
centenarians." Not very long ago We
copied from the Encyclopedia Brittonicd Q
list of men and women {" Old Man Parr !"
and the Countess of Desmond included)
each of whom is said to have. lived more
than q century, but the ages OF some OF
whom were but poorly authenticated. We
have had, however, two illustrious and in
contestible modern instances" in MONTE
r1oRE, and CHEvREUL. and Admiral WALLIS.
of the British navy. will be centenarian
If he lives few days longer.
Our contention is simply that centena-
rians are of great rarity, andout of millions
and millions of people but few of them are
to be found.
We hope soon to present paper on Ion
eeyity, which has been prepared for us
by one Of the most learned and accom-
plished members of the medical profess
sion in Richmond. he discusses the sub
iect from the standpoint of man Of sci
ence, and claims that there have been
many well-proved centenarians.

Central Asia-Herat and Cabool. Her de-
signs upon the one are directed from Kho-
rassan, and upon the otbsr from samar-
cand and adjacent territory. kho-
rassan has long been Russia's fruit-
full hot-bed for generating plots against
the Key 10 India and consequently sne
has resorted to every possible measure
outside of actual armed occupation TO get
possession of Meshed, the sacred city OF
the Shah Mohammedans. Samarcand
and its environments constitute an equal
coigne of vantage in dealing with Caoooi.
So far as tho Trans-Caspian railway mas
been extended it has been highway for
trade and the means of greatly extending
Russia's commercial relations and conse-
ouentlv Russia's influence with the tribes
in the territory through which IL passes.
Yet it will not do TO assume that the Bri-
tish in India have not been on the alert to
counterfeit any benefits. strategic and
other, that may have accrued to Russia
from her railway development in Central
Asia. India has also been building rail-
roads. Though very little has been said
about the matter, progress along that line
during DUrrKRN's administration was ire

has in most instances been more than

tribes has borne good fruit. and the feel
ing among the native princes that British
rule is infinitely preferable TO Russian rule
has been fostered until self-interest has be
come synonymous with loyalty.
Any restlessness in Afghanistan will
therefore. in all probability simply result
in accelerating the crushing out of thu

STA that the time when India cannot hol'

Congratulations, Doctor.


What solid, wholesome, trip-hammer and
manly address was DR.. Parker's, delivered 70
the Society of Alumni OF the Medical College oil
virginia Wednesday night Full OF short, cpl
gramatic sentences, each meaning something
and all together making up one OF the most adj
mirable addresses ever heard In this CITY, me
state congratulates the Doctor, who touches
nothing that he does not adorn, and who touches
nothing that he does not stir up. ANY young
physician who loves his calling as he ought to
love 1t, and as DIR. Parker lovesit and also Sc es
and appreciates its splendid opportunities Tor
good, should study this address, and the man
who has been, or expects TO be, patient should
read 1t with care.
True and well-said. DIR. PARKER is
man of great usefulness in this commu-
nifty. He is one of the most fertile
writers we know of. Above all he Is o
grand type Of the Christian physician.

True Enough.

The Lynchburg Advance says that Gov
erpor Huns letter to the free traders OF
New York shows that he stands. as MIR.
CLEVELAND stands, upon the national plat
form of the Democratic party. 1t adds:
"No party respectable In numbers advocates
the adoption Of free trade In It's broadcast sense.
That ia. the total abolition Of the tarin, leaving
trade with all the world as free as 1t now is
between the States of the Union. However de-
sirable this policy might be, every sensible man
sees that It Is impracticable, even impossible Of
adoption. Hence the Democratic party to-day Is
not lighting for anything Of the sort The con-
r,c, is between tariff for revenue, pure and
simple. and tariff for protection"
We quoted Friday from Mr.. JEFTER-
SONS inaugural address of 1906 paragraph
which shows that he. so far from being q
free trader, was not ashamed to boast that
under the tariff the revenues OF the Gov.
eminent were collected on the borders OF
the country and from persons who could
afford to add foreign luxuries to domestic
comforts. Mr.. JEFFxRsos is good au-
thority in Virginia, single-tax advocates 10
the contrary Notwithstanding.

Hanrico to Be Redeemed


Henrico Democrats should be gratifed
by the alarm which pervades the ranks OF
the enemy.
For the first time in many years the lat
ter see the county Democrats organized
and resolute, supporting full and salts
factory ticket nominated by one of the
largest and fairest primaries ever held in
any Virginia county.
Yes. there is every prospect that our peo-
ple will win-win the whole field-because
this is q party fight and our candidates
have been selected under circumstances
which justify the expectation that all those
who voted at the primary and oil those
who stayed away, content for their friends
to choose for them, Will come out on cleo
tion-day and give their hearty support to
the whole ticket.
The Republicans know we'll enough that
we are going to carry the day. but they
indulge the hope that they will be able to
run in" one or two OF their men who are
supposed to enjoy more personal populari-
ty than the rest of their candidates.
Our duty is plain, and it is to elect our
entire ticket, and this we have the numbers
to do if we cast our full vote solidly.
The idea that the Henrico Republicans
| will put up a candidate in Richmond
against our party nominee tor Treasurer SC
as to prevent city Democrats from giving
help to their Henrico brothers, is absurd
and if done it will have the very opposite
effect to that hoped for. An interest il
the May election once excited here vii
not find ample field in this city FOL
the exercise of our Democratic energy
but will overflow into Henrico and make
assurance of Democratic victory there
double sure.
II will be our own fault If on the All
Thursday in May the Republican nag Il
not hauled down in Henrico and the Demo
cratic banner raised in Its stead.

To TIE RICHMOND DISPATCH We would state
that II has disclosed to our error In supposing
that State had the power to declare what was
legal tender for debt. Thepoint We were aiming
70 make, bit which we now zee we entirely miss
ed, was this: II the Government, which issues
silver certificates, were 10 declare them legal
tender for debt would they not be held to solve q
debt thereafter contracted that provided for gold
payment only? There was decision some
years ago by the United States Supreme Court
In regard to the legai-tender character Of the
ereenback, but We do not know the scope Of thai
decision.-Ciarks Courier.
We think that court has always held that
q contract to pay in gold is binding, Just
as contract TO pay in wheat would be.
On the greenbaok question the court first
decided that Congress had the power to
mako greenbacks legal tender for debt,
and Afterwards decided that it had NOT
sach power, the bench having been
strengthened in the mean time by Presi-
dent GRANT.
We admire the Courisv's candor.

Literary Notes.

The circulation of DR.. EDWARD EVERETT
HALx's MAN Without Country" is said
to have greatly passed 100000.
Last week Rev. DR.. MESDESsHALL, OF
Cleveland, announced himself as the au-
thor of "The Bread Winners" the very
clever story satirizing labor unions which
appeared in the Century few years ago.
Colonel JOHN HAY, poet, and biographer OF
LINCOLN, has always been the suspect In
the case. and it is by no means certain now
that the Rev. DR.. MESDENsHAIL IS not
posing as q humorist. Perhaps he wrote
Beautiful Snow" also.
A Paris editor recently inquired the pre-
ference of several distinguished literary
men az TO cremation or burlG. ALPHossE
DAUpEr answered that "either one would
be exceedingly disagreeable to me-" SAR-
pou said lit would afford me great plea

expected. gravely replied that lit is best
10 leave the thing to the decision OF the
loving ones We leave behind u.s." ZoLRs
realism has absorbed his humor, if he ever
had any.
A critic makes the point on Sir EDWIN
ARNOLD that in his Light of the World"
he confuses two anointings-makes one
Of them. There is no evidence, he says. to
show that MARY MAoDALES, the sister OF
LAZARUS, was "the woman who was sim
ner."
JOAQUIN MILLER is writing life Of Christ
in verse. He says he will follow Bible
lines and will incorporate the best of the
parallels and invent some Others" The
| inference is that JOAQUIN thinks he can in
vent some that will be better than some OF
| Christ's.
Now, the Marquis Of Lorne has caughtit.
He is writing novel to be called From
Shadow to Sunlight" The scene is laid in
Scotland, and the heroine will be q tran
script from life of an American girl. an &C
| auaintance of the neutrality-suspicious. an
acquaintance that he formed in Richmond
The manuscript of PoE's "Eulalie" was
sold in Boston the other day for S225. The
poet would have appreciated that amount
of money when living.
BEvERLEY's History of Virginia" was
sold in London recently for fs1.
JAMES WHIrcoMB RILEY, the Hoosiel
poet, it is said, has become strict prohi
bitionst. but is sufferer from Bright''
disease. He is writing very little now.
Some of his best poems were dashed of
under the inspiration of the moment. On'
of them, printed in the Century, was origi
nally written upon q cuff In crowded
