Not Mere Courtesy.

The report sent out from both Paris and

beyond that involved In the courtesy
OF a return of the call the French fleet
made at Constadt must have provoked
a grim smile Of incredulty in the foreign
Offices of other European capitals. For
weaks all France has been in a fever
of exultant excitement over the prepara-
tions the government was making TO
receive the Russian admiral. These pre-
parations have been Of such an elaborate

The fact is. 1t Is recognized through
out diplomatic circles in Europe that ii
Russia and France have not actually
concluded an alliance offensive and de-
fensiye, there Is AZ least II pretty well
defined uadersta nding between them. That
these two powers should form a combl-
nation is a logical sequence Of the Euro
pean situation. The Triple Alliance Is
aimed primarily at France. and that
nation must accept any ally She can

rest TO stand aloof from any friendly
enlargement with Russia. And still less
reason has Alexander 10 look 10 Austria
for friendship. Whatever Vienna might

an imperishatie recollection Of the fact
that Il was Russia after all that shat

The Two Yachts.

IL IA now really time for our British
friends to b. getting discouraged about
the yachting business. In contests for
the Americas cup they have been de-
feated no less than eight times, their
last misfortune having ended Friday.
Five British, one Scotch. and two ca
madam yachts have contended for this
prize, only TO be beaten. The persis-
tence Of British yachtsmen. however, IS
In keeping with their national character,
and it may be that time will bring them
some consolation or reward.
Whether we are better modellers or are
better yachtsmen than our British friends
we cannot say, but our long series Of
victories can hardly be attributed 10
mere luck"
OF all the victories that the Americans
have achieved the last will rank as one
OF the very greatest, inasmuch as the
ValkyHe and the Vigilant both embodied
the latest achievements in British and
American yacht architecture. The |alky-
RE was butt upon Lord Dunraven's or
der especially TO capture the cup, while
the Vigilant was tho best vessel out Of
the American fleet Of "cup-defenders."
IL we might venture an opinion as TO
IN continued ill-success Of the British
yachtsmen, we should say that it comes
largely from their inability or refusal 10
adopt what IS latest and best In naval
architecture, or. as we Americans would
say-not meaning To be offensive to
them-they ARE not up 10 the tines

Do Fairs Bring Trade?

The State Fair held here last week was
not the best fair ever held here. but It
did good In many ways. and was an un-
commonly good evidence Of pluck dis
played under dscouraging circumstances.
II required no little nerve 70 under
take a fair here whilst thu overshadowing
Chicago Exposition was IN progress: but
IT required still more to proceed with the
enterprise when the country was stunned
and staggering under the great blow
dealt business interests ~ the derange-
ment Of the money market. The mana
gers of our fair refused to give up even
when the panic was at its height, and
went along with bold front and, all things
considered, achieved success. Had they
had the earnest support Of a score more
Of our businessmen they would have tri-
umphed greatly AS 1t is. the testimony
OF the jobbers is that the fair did trade
here much good Retailers, too, must have
prohted by it.

sale house here say that they sold more
goods on wednesday than they had sold
on any one day within their business his

Compensatory Duties.

The Charlottesville Chronicle, after
quoting from the Dispatch our remarks
assuming that that paper was opposed
10 protecting the tobacco factories ttc''
In this state, asks
"Would not the Dispatch consent 70 the
repeal OF tho tariff on tobacco, III return
FOR the repeal Of the internal-revenue TAX
on that industsT?'
We have not considered That question:
and are not prepared 70 give cateso'I-
cal reply As at present advised we
would not feel inclined to make the eh-
change. The Chronicle srauAes us by
making the following remark:
cot course. when Congress places
burden upon "a industry land That an
agricultural Industry hy the Imposition
of direct tax, it would be wicker
outrage, that no Legislature could be
guilty Of to leave 1t naked ID the COM
petition Of the foreign world.
We'll said. Let Mr.. Raum. MI Wells.
Mr.. Watterson. and the rest OF the doc
trinaires. set down the uttersnce OF tie
Chronicle ga the voice Of the people Of the
tobacco-growing states. once more, We
quote that paper:
AS long as the direct tax remains i2on
IL tobacco must IN fairness ba taken out
Of the scheme Of q revenue taIlH. We
uropose Il lust and fair tariff, ana not on
outrage under its name. We wonder the
Dispatch will not gee that the TOBACCO
duties ana all others iiHposed to onset
n direct tax are exceptions 10 the rule OF
u revenue tariff
This Is sound doctrine. It is question
which we have been pressing upon the
attention Of tho people OF Virginia ard
her congressman for u long time. We
have ulain sailing on the aubject our
relves holding the Vows that We do;
but we cannot imagine how anybody
can hold that Congress has no constitu-
tonaI power to levy custons-dutes cN-
cept for purposes Of revenue only, and
IT the same time hold that Congress has
powor under the Federal Constitution
10 levy customs-duties intended 70 protect
tho tobacco interests Of Virginia. the
tariff on tobacco is 10 all iutcnts and
PURPOSES protective tariff. This. how
ever We % not care 20 Insist upon II
our Charlottesville contemporary will con-
tlnuc the good work begun in the para
graphs quoted above, We shall not b.
concerned for IT'S consistency. But we
will say rs to the exceptions the Chron-

exceptions Of that sort in the creed II
any man who denies the power Of Con-
gress to make such exceptions.

Tho Delays Of tAe Law.

mr. Iarerty's recent article on the
DELAYS of the law" Is having a wide cir
ou,a,Ion. Many OF our State exchanges
have conied ~ Others have commented
upon It, and generally speaking Its tone
is approved.
There Is much complaint heard that
trials OF criminals are postponed upon
trivial excuses and that often where con-
,,c,,ons have been secured the verdicts
are set aside by appellate courts upon
technlcalities.
Whore n criminal is able to secure good
counsel who Will fight his case pers'steh'y
from court 10 court the ends OF Justice
1,rs,ice as the people see it-are TOO o'pn
defeated. and Il Is this which taxes from
the courts that degree OF respect WHICH
they should hold in the estimation OF
tho r,,hIIc II is this which sometimes
leads TO lynch law.
Without a doubt our criminal code neehs
sirnrlifvlng We believe that the state
Bar Association have committee on inc
subject. and II so they should hurry NJ
tbeir work. While the people see the EVIL
only men learned In law can prescribe loi
tie cure so-called trivial technicalitles
may 20 10 the root Of our system OF JUS
tlce The knife. therefore, can only be
safely applied By expert hands; but tha'
the knife is needed seems to admit Of no
doubt.
Justice ought to be surer and speeaier
No one asks that any Of the safeguards
necessary for the protection Of Innocence
be thrown down, but it does seem reason
able TO ask that the power which makes
our laws shall provide the means OF en-
forcing them.
The public can make known its opinion
and demand reform, but the work OF
erimlnal-Iaw revision must be the worF
Of members Of the bar; men who kno"
what are trivial technicalities' ana wha
are not. Let US hope that the Bar Asso
citation will give earnest attention to TINS
matter at once. Something ought to b
ATTEMPTED in the way OF reform at tho
coming session OF the General Assembly.

vers of this State dncludng judges OF
the bench recognize the need Of such 70

accomplished without imperilling any OF
