Tho Norfolk L1ndmart Is waging war
| upon bogus military titles. aud 1t says that
II means 10 make it "a point to honor the
request OF all men who not having legitl-
mate title prefer to have citizens simple
designation, Mr. preaxed to their names
when used"
Alb. but how many will make that re-
quest"l
We can recall one man who asked the
/ DtspATcH 10 cease the use OF his military
title when it had occasion to print his
name. He was gallant soldier with
MosBY and ia now one of the most useful
citizens Richmond has. He was few
wears ago commissioned as staff officer
in the volunteers with the rank Of major.
Upon resigning that position he wrote
note to this paper asking that the title OF
major should no longer be attached TO MS
name. and, generally speaking, his request
has been complied with.
We stand prepared to grant all similar
requests, though 1t would sometimes be at
the sacrifice of perspicuity, as the public
would not readily recognize as - Mr..
Blank" the man whom 1t had known for
years az major Blank"
We have known q former judge OF one
of our State courts to demonstrate because
he was mentioned in a newspaper as "ex-
Judge" He wished to be called Judge
and that, too in connection which would
have left the uniformed reader in doubt
whether he was the trial judge in the case
or was Of counsel.
OF the hundreds who are captains. ma
jors. colonies. and generals by popular
brevet-of course this does not include
ans one who has been duly commissioned
by the President of the United States or
by the Governor of his State-few indeed
complain OF the press for so publishing
them. Some we know of are indignant
when such alleged titles are omitted when
Their names are mentioned. And OF the
making of these titles there 10 no end.
Indeed, ours is titIe-loving people.
Almost invariably nowadays the fact that
a man has been postmaster-general or
attorney general gives him a claim to be
called general IAN innovation Of re-
cent date.
Those who have long held the peoples
brevets cannot be dispossessed any more
than those who hold under commissions.
but line could and should be drawn on
future creations of this character. Let
those now in possession hold their titles.
but put stop to the manufacturing of
others. To this end the Virginia Press
Association might address it's energies,
and the next generation, at least, would
DO free from the evil.

The Unsuitable Thirst for Gold.


The Financial Chronicle would have Con-
gress repeal the SHERMAN silver law passed
by the last Congress. That paper dwells
upon the condition of things in India,
and adds:
alt has been seen that this matter has gone 80
far that India officials and English writer's are
suggesting, while London financial papers are
discussing, the stoppago Of the coinage OF slye:
and the adoption Of gold currency In lndia.
We have seen also that Austria-Hungary IL on
the way 10 gold payments, and Is about to hoard
further large amounts Of the metal for that pur-
pose. Likewise we have seen how eagerly the
European banks are forcing an increase OF their
gold reserves. Are not these facts enough
for the United States TO know! We arc
to-day by our 1890 silver law trying 70 support
the price OF that metal; thereby we are securing
TO India its only opportunity 70 take either OF
the courses had in view. IL we repeal our $50
silver law 1t will be practically Impossible for
India TO adopt gold, for there would be no pur-
chAsers for its silver except manufacturers. On
the other hand, II We continue our 1890 silver
law and India does adopt gold, We will be left
alone in the whole world among commercial na-
tions to support the metal, with the pretty big
fob on our hands Of absorbing midas stock"
Our New York contemporary is not
wrong in assuming that the United States
cannot afford to carry all the silver in the
world at the same time that combination
of all the commercial nations have deter
mined to have gold for their currency, cost
what it may. Such a policy as this last
would ruin the very countries which re-
sorted to it as the best for their interests.
The United States is rich enough to gang
its own gait " in financial matters, but we
fear that even Uncls SAM would sink under
such a burden of silver as the nations
above named would place upon his Shout
ders. Let the international bimetallic
conference try to ward of these evils from
all the nations of the earth.

Dante as a Poet.

Professor SAMUEL ID. DAWES, OF this
city, contributes to the October No. OF
Poet Lore an article on "DANTE's Claim to
Poetic Eminence." Professor DAVIES sup
ports the contention of the late MATHEW
BROWNE that DANTE had no real claim to
the lofty place accorded him among the
poets, and enters into an interesting
analysis OF the Inferno to justify his
position. Professor DAVIES champions the
unpopular, not to say the heretlcal side of
the DANTE question, but unless it may be
said of the Florentine reveller in the do
main of horrors, as has been remarked of
GOETHE, that no one ever understood
him, it must be admitted that some
of the Professors points are we'll taken.
However, in judging of q criticism of
DANTE or any other poet the critics inter-
probation of what is real poetry is one of
the chief factors to be considered. 1t IS
therefore to be regretted that Professor
DAVIES did not elaborate moro fully his
poetic standard. His definition of poetry
indicates that he could say much more in
that direction, and say it with force.

The Army of Northern Virginia.


The annual meeting of the Association
of the Army of Northern Virginia will be
held in this city on the night of the 26th
of this month, and for the first time for
several years the occasion will be marked
by set Grafton. Hon. W. @. p. BREoKN-
RIDGE will be the orator, and his subject
will be 1.-THE ex-Confederate AID What He
Has Accomplished in Peace" This an
nouncement should in itself be sufficient
90 draw O large attendance, for the man
and the theme will have met. There is no
speaker in the land better equipped than
MIR. BREcKNRIpeE for illustrating by the
story of the ex-Confederate the fact THAT
peace hath her victories no less renowned
than war"
But it is hoped that the coming meeting
will have an effect beyond attracting a
large assemblage-that OF reviying interest
in the organization. 1t is an unfortunate
fact that Of late the association has Ian
guished, and despite the efforts of Cap
tain ELlKrr. the secretary. and the Execu-
tive Committee TO increase the member
ship, the roll has been of slow growth.
This should not be. Every man who had
an honorable career In the Army of North
ern Virginia should be a member of the
association. The cost of enrolment is
81, the price of certificate is 81, and the
annual contribution 81. The certificate
gives the record Of the member as SOL
dier, and the time will come when it will
be more priced by his children than would
be a patent of nobility.
1t Is estimated that IL only one half of
the survivors Of the Army of Northern Viz
ginia were in the ASSOCIATION the latter
could count on pecuniary foundation
that would enable 1t to secure the publ
cation of the mass Of personal and general
historical matter now in its possession.
Much of this material, it Is true. is dry de-
tail, but every scrap of 1t should be pre-
served in print for the use of tho future
historian. The roll Of the association is a
roll Of honor, and no name that is entitled
TO be on it should be allowed to perish or
be forgotten. Those who are eligible to
membership owe IT TO themselves. TO those
who shall como after them. to the cause
theyespoused. and to truth that the re-
cord be made as full as possible.
Further. however, q large membership
and consequent revival Of interest in the
association would insure the continuance
OF annual addresses under the auspices of
the organization. These we regard rs of
the greatest Importance. seeing that there
10 no better way Of keeping the rising gene
ration in touch with the past. and Of in
spring In the youth Of the land pride in
the deeds of their fathers. The historical |
Geld tho war affords to southern orators is !

DISPUTE TINT the wages OF mechanics and
other white workingmsn were higher IN
New Orleans, Charleston. aud other south
cru cities than IN the northern cities. Mr..
Joussov argued that this was natural re-
suit of the fact that tho labor and the pro-
pcrty were owned by the same men. NIL.
lions of dollars worth of labor Slaves
were owned by the rich men OF the South.
who for that reason. argued Mr.. JoHssos,
kept up mechanics wages. Whatever the
reason may have beon. tho fact was as Mr..
JOHNSON showed it TO be.

Hnrrah in the Camnaign.

It is quiet campaign, but an interest
ing one. There Is little in the personal re-
cord of CLEVELAND or HARRISON that re-
mains TO be discussed-that was done TO
tatters tour years ago-lnd the chief at
tention of campaign writers and speakers
is therefore given to the policies OF the
parties claiming the votes of the people.
1t is the concluding course of the " cam
palgn of education in which the people
passed a frst-class examination two years
ago. and from which they are to graduate
on November Sth. There is not much
"hurrah," but the people are in dead
earnest. They mean business in double
sense.
In Virginia we are having fine Demo-
cratic meetings. Many eloquent speakers
are in the field, and our public assem-
blages are usually large and the voters
show deep interest in the topics of the
campaign. The Third partyites have ex-
hibited considerable activity in several
counties, but since the elections in Arkan-
sas, Alabama, Florida, and Georgia have
shown the utter folly of their movement
in the South, they are becoming less
Jealous, and many of them have returned
TO the Democratic ranks while others are
on the way back.
The people are with US, and all that we
have to do is to bring out our vote. 1t
will not do for US to rely too much upon
the divisions in the Republican ranks.
True, 1t does seem that these are irrepara-
BILE, but we cannot be sure about the mat
ter until after the vote is counted.
We must have all of our voters properly
registered, and when the polls are opened
we must see that they come out. All this
requires organization. In each county our
party superintendent should have con-
ference with his precinct workers some
days before the election and arrange to
bring up the slow voters. Organization
will carry the day.

Slave Labor and Free Trade.

The Cincinnati Commercial says:
"Jobn @. Calhoun, originally protsctlonist,
got scared at the big wages paid In the indus
tries OF New England, aud In tho interest of
slave labor In the South, turned to DO free

Surely this statement is untrue. Our
impression is that ANDREW JOHNSON,

sentstives In which he showed beyond

IIsnrnation by the Courts.

Our respects to the Times. We still re-
gard it as usurpation for the courts of New
York, or Virginia, or any other State to
take jurisdiction and pass upon an appor-
Torment made by Legislature empow-
cred to make it.
Does the Times claim or admit that the
Supreme Court of Appeals Of Virginia has
the right to set aside the existing appor-
tionment of representation in the Legisla-
ture of Virginia? Or will the next appor-
tionment be one that can be set aside?
Does the Times run against the right Of
the courts In the premises?

Sound Doctrine.

Judge PrcKHAM OemoeraD, OF New
York, wrote the opinion of the Court of
Appeals in the reapportionment case. He
said, amongst other things, that if some of
the doctrines laid down In Michigan and
Wisconsin were carried out spportion-
ment, instead of being Legislative duty,
would be brought beforethe courts in all
cases, and tired by the judges idea of
equality and discretion, and not at oil by
that of the Legislature"
The reader will find that proposition in
several of our editorials on these appor-
tionment cases.
