Is THE HOUSE OF PEERS IN PEHILq

When the House OF Lords rejected Mr..
Gladstone's Home Rule bill the whole
world expected his next move would be
either TO swamp the House Of Lords by
the creation of a sufficient number Of
new Liberal Peers to give his party a
majority in that body, or TO legislate
the House out Of existence. He has
attempted neither, and the very tame
announcement of his future policy, which
he made in his recent speech TO his con-
stituents. indicates pretty strongly that
he will not attempt either. The House
Of Lords was practically unanimous in
rejecting his bill, so that he would have
had TO create about as many new Peers
as now exist. If ne had undertaken to
deal with the difficulty from that stand
point, and this would OF course have
made the whole business ridiculous. II
Is most questionable, too, whether he
could have controlled the Queen If he
had undertaken 10 do this. In a general
way. public opinion undoubtedly controls
all the operations of government IN Great
Britain, and in the same general way
the Queen is undoubtedly little more
than a cipher for the ordinary operations
Of government. But conditions may very
well arise there when the latent prerog-
atives residing In the crown become
anything else than dead formulas, md
when they may be animated into the
most powerful activity. The present
is just one Of those cases. Mr.. Glad
stones party has a majority in the House
OF Commons. but IL is a majority made
up OF Irish members. and. in great part,
of the discontinued and disanected ele-
ments of England. Scotland and Wales.
We would not say that II is the party
of the agrarians. Anarchists and Com
munlsts. but all such as are IN Great
Britain are in his party. II the Irish
members. then. were stricken out of his
party, II would be very nearly. II not
quite, In a minority In the House. and
that minority would be very far from
comprising a majority Of those elements

the Great Britain which the world IS
accustomed 10 looking up to and respect

OF Lords might be swamped, although the

The People Should Elect All Their Municipal
Officers.
Editor Times:

fE'NC fAAi'e
The resolutions introduced by Mr.. John
r. Epps, OF Jefferson Ward, in the last
meeting Of the City Council should pass
that body. The resolution instructs the
City Attorney to prepare a bill to be SUBJ
mitted TO the next General Assembly al
lowing the people to elect their City At
torney, Superintendent Of City Gas
Works, Superintendent Of City Water
Works, Superintendent Of Almshouse, and
Chief OF Police.
Now this power belongs TO the people,
and they should have under their control
the Offices mentioned. II the people are
capable of electing the mayor and very
many other municipal officers 10 high
and responsible positions they are GER
tainly qualified to elect the officers mem
tioined In Mr.. Epp's resolutions, and the
toned In Mr.. EpPs' resolution and the
and the city charter should be amended so
that this can be done. II there ever has
been a period in the history of Richmond
when the people should have entire control
of her municipal affairs it is now.
The whole city government has been
and is still run In a manner that has
almost brought bankruptcy and ruin upon
II. To-day TIE city Of Richmond has a
debt OF about $4,000 which must be
greatly increased unless new subjects of
taxation car be found or an additional
tax can be put upon real estate and other
property Of the city. Let the property
holders move promptly in this matter and
find a remedy for the evil that now exists.
The property holders cannot stand an
other turn Of the screw IN the way Of taxa
ton. The resolution offered by Mr.. Epps
Is a wise ore and should speedily pass
the City Council. The people insist upon
the charter Of the city being amended so
that they may have the privilege of elect
Ing all their officers. Knowing that The
Times Is always ready to espouse the
cause OF the people. we trust we will hear
from II upon this subject. DEMOCRACY.

Nllsson's Birthday.

August 18th Christine Nilsson. Countess
de Casa Miranda, celebrated her hftieth
birthday. IL was thirty years since the
tai and fair-faced woman stood in front
OF the footllghts at a little opera house
In Stockholm and made her first public
essay with her wonderful voice. she was
a Swedish farmers daughter. and one
day Christine disappeared. The 16-year-
old girl had begged one OF the women OF
the band Of wandering musicians to a
her with them. She learned TO play on
the violin and flute. Sometimes she sang.
One night she was singing In the streets
OF Stockholm and accompanying herself
on the violin. Passing by one OF the
city's great men heard the voice Of the
singer. He stopped and saw that the girl
was neither beautiful nor attractive. But
her voice had charms for him. He loved
music, and he was rich enough and 4
enough to be generous. n through his
aid she was sent TO the best music school.
HIS name was Jan Tor1heljm. and one
week after her great success In Paris
IL was IN iSGS-he died Ia that city: and
on the evening Of his funeral Christine

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.

This is what the New York
Herald of the End of September
sa S, on Hawaiian annexation:
Elsewhere in the Herald this
morning Mr.. Charles Nordhoff
disposes of a batch of annexation
attacks naturally aroused by his
telling Hawaiian dispatches
He shows that the lingo
claim that the natives want an
nexation is contrary to the facts.
They are strongly opposed to it.
and that is sufficient reason why
the United Shtes should not
annex the islands. nee annexa-
ton without the consent of the
people worli be simply foreible
seizure. But even if the Hawaii
ans d d want it, that would not
settle the question. 1t is not the
policy of the United Suites to
annex distant group of islands
simply because they desire to be
annexed The question is
whether we want them.
In this case the people of the
United States. as we'll as the peo-
pie of Hawaii. are opposed 10
annexation. That should settle
the matter.

Tho New School Building.

The Committee on Schools had called
meeting in the City Engineers Office last
evening. Colonel Cary, chairman, and
Messrs. Hardwicke, Mann. Tanner and
Thomas were resent. The chief object
of the meeting was the consideration OF
the proposed new Central School building,
which is TO be erected upon the Grant
rropCity on Twelfth street, which had
been bought for that purpose recently by
the city.
The amount appropriated in the budget
for the construction of the building is
$4,000 Colonel Cutshaw submitted four
different plens for the cdifice. one was
for "a two-stCry building with fourteen
ems without an assembly room. an
other with the same number of rooms
and an assembly room in addition. a
tfird one provides for a three-story house
without the assembly room, and the last
one for the same building with an assem-
bly, hall.
The City Engineer was instructed TO
have the necessary plans drawn for a
two-story building with an assembly
ROOM Co,ore, Cutshaw gave some inter
esti1g data as to the number of square
feet contained in the Fairgrounds of the
several schools of the city. and COM
parison with that at the new Central
School building showed that the pupils
will have more than the average area In
that the Fairgrounds.
After tho transaction of some business
of minor Importance the committee ad-
iOurned.
