THE TIMES RICHMOND. VA SATURDAY OCTOBER !. 1892

md Ia n reproduction of the famous
painting by Karl Gustav HeiIqulst' VINO
strikingly depicts the opprobrious entry
into Stockholm in 1926 of Peder Sonna-
vater and Master Knut The scene re-
nresents these condemned men dressed
in rags. and wearing, the one crown
Of straw and the other mitre OF birch
bark. mounted backwards on feeble
borses and carried through the streets
to Stockholm in the Shrove-tide process
sion. amidst the jeers and insults OF the
devoted subjects of Gustav Vasa, against
whom they had raised a rebellion In
Sweden. The picture is a fitting COM
panion for 1.-The Triumphant Entry OF
Germanicus Into Rome which was Is
sued with The Times on the 18th or
August and a history of the subjects IN
II would be worth the research.
Bill Nye is one of the acknowledged
bunoorists Of America, and sometimes he
writes very funny letters. Tomorrow
Times will contain one of these letters
illustrated and published over his sigma
ture. He writes on several subjects the
cholera among them.
NJ Quad is also a noted humorist. and
The Times has taken pains to secure
some of his writings which will also APP
pear in to-morrow's Times.
To-morrow's Times will also have
very interesting sketch of the New York
celebration of Columbus Day, written
By j. III. Beade.
A description of the latest incident in
the career Of Annexation that has made
Great Britain a bigger Empire than
Rome ever was, will also be published III
to-morrow's Times, appropriately illus
trated.
EVERYBODY knows the tune "Ta-Ra-Ka,
Room-De-Ay," and since Lottie Collins
has made her escape from the Normannla

singing it to New York. Our dramatic
critic. who heard her, gives his opinion
in to-morrow's Times of her interpreta-
ton of the piece
A graphic and interesting account OF
two noted duels which took place near
Petersburg many years ago, will also De

These are only few of the carefully
nrenored articles which will appear IN

THE DISPATCH AND SECESSION

Does the Dispatch think that any al
tention whatever would have been paid
to reservation by Virginia of a right
for Georgia, which Georgia did not au-
thorize Virginia to make for her. in the
absence of an assent to the reservation
by Georgia; or that such a reservation
would really have had any virtue and
effect in it?
ot course we did not understand the
Dispatch as intending TO disparage Cen
eral Johnson's argument. We know the
Dispatch to be a warm friend of the
General, but his argument is so close
and overwhelming that the Dispatch
could not disparage it if it tried.

1t was announced in our press dis
patches yesterday that Mr.. Carnegie was
coming over for the purpose of finally
settling the Homestead strikes. This
looks somewhat suspicious Just at this
time on the eve of the Presidential cleo
ton. The announcement was coupled
with the statement that he intended to
shut down the mills. In that event. he
would clinch what has been so frequently
charged that the Homestead troubles
gave the lie to the Republican claim
that protection protects the wages of the
laboring man. IL, as we are inclined TO
think, he is coming for the purpose of
acceding u the requests of the men for
political purposesit will still not be proven
that the workinginan is benefited by
protection, but that the Radical mag
mates are working to play their same
old trick-promise the Iaborer high wages
before election, only to cut him down to
the last notch af1sr the fight ID decided.

MIR. oLEvELANp's LETTER.

| Tho letter of acceptance recently given
| 70 the public by Mr.. Cleveland Is ex-
citing n wonderful degree OF interest
among the republicans, especially as
the organs Of that party seem entirely 10
ignore the letter from Mr.. HARRISON
also given out short time ago. ms
latter gentleman wrote n very long com
,or,;cation which sounded more like a
message TO Congress than anything cise'
vet after q day or two of comment
thereon. the whole letter passed almost
into oblivion and nothing more was
| thought of it. When Mr.. Cleveland,
| however. writes very short, PLAIN let
tor EXPRESSED in the simplest language,
/ without any vcrbosity, in fact without
= word being lost, at once the whole Re-
nublican press becomes terribly excited,
some declaring that they cannot tell
what Mr.. Cleveland means, while others
charge him with simply INDUCING in
''platitudes.'
OF course ne INDUCES in platitudcs.
That is what he intended TO do. The
true definition Of a platitude is truism,
plainly expressed without any attempt
at obscuring il with high sounding
words or far-fetched phrases. Mr. Cleve-
land himself says that his letter is not
an attempt to instruct his countrymen
nor his party, but ito remind both that
Democratic doctrines lie near to the
principles of our Government and tend
TO promote the peoples good In thus
reminding his country and his party of
these plain and simple. but all-important,
principles, he says that he is willing 10
be accused Of addressing his fellow-citi-
zens upon trite topics and in homely
fashion," and he seems to have, with that
unerring certainty of judgment which is
one of the CHIEF elements of his great
ness, anticipated the attacks which his
enemies would make upon his letter.
When we come down to real facts,
platitudes are the resort of every teacher
of truth. AS a contemporary expresses
it,
1.-THE Constitution of the United
States, the Declaration of Independence
and the Ten Commandments are unde-
niably 'platitudes, yet it is found to be
profitable TO character to take notice of
them now and then. All law is or should
be a 'platitude,' because it is meant to
be responsive to moral justice, of which
the principles are lodged in every con-
science, the plainness and prevalence of
them making them platitudes.
So we see that if Mr.. Cleveland is
guilty of anything culpable in using
platitudes-i. e., expressing great sentl-
ments in words that every one can easily
understandable has followed some very
distinguished examples, and in this he
has presented a marked contrast to his
distinguished opponent. The latter made
of his letter a regular piece of special
pleading, using big words for the very
purpose of confusing the senses of the
people as to what he meant. Mr.. Cleve-
land wrote his in plain fashion so that
all, even to the humblest, can readily I'M
derstand, and on the Sth of November
the people will show that they greatly
prefer one who talks to them in a way
that they can appreciate and is not
afraid TO let himself be understood,
rather than one who wells his utterances,
as if he feared TO let the voters know
what position he occupied.

The New York Herald gives some very
interesting figures showing the effect
Of the Mckinley law upon American
politics. Before the law passed Michl-
gan. Illinois. Iowa, Nebraska. NiscoI SIN
and Massachusetts were safely KepuDll-
can. After it had passed all these States
went Democratic. while the usual kepub-
lican pluralities in Kansas and Mime
sofa were immensely reduced. This was
the case two years ago. Perhaps this
year these two last-named States may
also join the Democratic column.

Sending Flower. by Telegraph.

A novel and very remarkable in
dustry has recently been started in
New York. 1t is intended for the
convenience of persons who havc
friends in other cities in this country
or abroad to whom they may desire
to pay polite attentions. Suppose
that a lady of your acquaintance is at
present in Vienna and you wish to
send her a bouquet. 1t is very easily
managed. You drop into a certain
florists on Broadway and pick out
flowers suitable for your posy. With
in two hours the bouquet you have
selected is delivered to the intended
recipient. The florist has an agent
or correspondent in Vienna to whom
he cables the order, stating the num-
Der Of flowers of each kind, ETC., and
the name of the givcr is written on a
card and attached to the bunch of
blossoms before it is conveyed to the
address indicated. 1t is the same
with other cities in Europe and.
America. If your lady love is in San
Francisco you can send her a bunch
of violets or a bouquet of roses by
wire, as it we're, within a few
minutes.

Perhaps the greatest difficulty that
dentists meet with is the matching Of
false teeth with the natural teeth Of
their customers. The tooth factories
supply dentists with rings upon which
are strung thin, short metal bars,
each carrying a tooth at its extremi-
ty. There n twenty-five of these
sample teeth, that run all the way
from nearly white to a shade that is
almost olive. Some one Of the twen-
ty. five usually almost matches the
patients natural teeth, and, at any
rate, enables the dentist to match
the teethb by application at the factory.
