ABOUT the only really commendable
thing Mr. Whitelaw Reid ever did, GER
tainly the only one remembered, was
his denunciation of the burning of Co.
lumbia, which he rightly described as
"the most moustrous barbarity of that
monstrous march" Columbia was set
on fire in twenty different places at
nightfall by the federal army which had
taken possession fit, and thousands Of
helpless women and children were left
without shelter and clothing on winter
night. The survivors of the men who
committed that inhuman outrage now
endorse the idea that Mr.. Cleveland
must be defeated in order to down the
rebel brigadiers."

Mr.. Geo. c. Round, of Manassas, has

1.-The question now IS whether ourre
publican form of government shall be
virtually abolished and the reign of If
responsible BOSSES substituted therefor.
1t is whether Malone, the Car of Pc
tel,sburg. shall be continued rs the au-
tocrat of Virginia. | regard Malone
and his unprincipled rule through pa
tronage and money rs the most serious
menace to our free institutions.

intellectually and morally one of the
ablest men who ever occupied the exc
cutive mansion. AS an adopted Fir
ginian | have Il certain State pride i'll
seeing a scion of so illustrious q Virgin
ia family in the place OF honor. ! think
that feeling is shared by many who
never voted the republican ticket. If
he is reelected sincerely hope he may
see the serious mistakes he has made in
Virginia, but ! have little hope of it.
The trouble seems TO be that he kno,0S
too much. In other words he is so opin-
donated that he will listen To nobody
and the only thing he will heed is the
hard knocks of defeat He refused a
hearing to the Ebbitt House Conference
of Virginia republican leaders, $50
strong, in 1889, and treated them i'll
personally insulting manner. He over
threw tile decision OF the republican
national convention of lSSS, and set up
Malone mt the head OF the party in
Virginia after the supreme authority OF
the party by q more than two-thirds
vote had thrown him down. He drove
the rightful republicans from the field
in 1883, and under the pretencc of Il
compromise has backed up Malone i'll
his tyrannical party rules, by which he
has kept himself and his corrupt adher-
ents in control against the wish of the
majority.
i had hoped that the kicks Malone
gave him at Minneapolis would have
opened the Presidents eyes, and | was
in hopes that he would throw oil this
gigantic disgrace to bis administration,
but am now satisfied that, on the con-
trary, he has renewed the old bargain
with Malone. He has, without doubt:
dominated the national committee in
their recent performances in the Nor
folk and Petersburg districts and the
recent appointment {. G. Clark as
L. 5. Marshal of Virginia is, to my
mind, proof positive that he has sur
rendered to Malone.

were purchased by the Treasury De-
partment from the rich silver mine
owners, which is now stored in the
Treasury vaults, and by the depreciation
in the value of which the government
has already lost sixteen million dollars,
The silver mine owners have profted,
but nobody else. But the policy of this

In chronic cases of neuralgia, rheu-

THE NEW PRAYER Books DAY.-The
changes in the Book of Common Prayer au-
thorized by the Episcopal convention in Bal
timore at its late session were on Tuesday
can Saints Day first used officially as part of
thu service. Hitherto on All Saints Day no
service peculiar to that day has been in vogue,
the service being left to the discretion of the
clergyman. but now ritual appropriate to
the occasion is provided. For instance, the
reading of Psalms 1, Is and 146 is now a
regular part of the All Saints service.
A standard edition of 100 copies of the
Book of Common Prayer is now in press in
New York. intended for the use of the men,
bers of both houses in the last general con-
vention The edition for general use, which
will probably be printed in England. will not
be ready for distribution for several months,
possibly not until next Easter. The delay
in the publication of the book will not, how
ever, prevent the changes from coming into
general use long before then, as slips on which
the new versicals and responses are printed
will soon be distributed among the churches
These can be inserted in the old books, which,
so provided, will prove good substitute until
the new books are out.
The hymnal will not be published before
next Easter, as the earliest date possible, and
probably not until much later.-PhilddelpIia
