Let Honors he Fairly Divided.

Our attention has been called to the fact
that In our recent article on the coupon
decision we did not give Mr.. W. ii. G.
Ellis, OF Norfolk, any credit for achiev-
ing this victory for the State. The omis-
sion was accidental. He is certainly en-
titled to much praise for the efficiency
and ability which he displayed, partlcu-
larly In the trial of the cases in the
Circuit Court OF Norfolk. He laid the
foundation for the States triumph.
and prepared the cases for APP
peal. However. we believe that the Hon.
II. r. Pollard originated the point on
which the decision was finally made
and brought II to the attention of Dir.
Ellis and the Excise Board at Norfolk.
In the Court of Appeals the argument
of the constitutional question was left
almost entirely to Mr.. Pollard. Neither
Mr.. Ellis nor the Attorney-General filed
a brief there.-Richmond Dispatch, March
10Th.
The above amende honorable is graft
flying to us. but we think we can dis
abuse the mind of our contemporary as
to its belief, that "Hon. III. II. Pollard
originated the point on which the decis-
ion was finally made, and brought IL to
the attention of Mr. Ellis and the TX
else Board at Norfolk"
Moreover IL is a great mistake to say
that "in the Court of Appeals the argu-
ment of the constitutional question was
left almost entirely to Mr.. Pollard" and
that neither Mr.. Ellis nor the Attorney"
General fled brief there" The point
ION which the decision was finally made
has been long and well settled, and was
not suggested by Mr.. Pollard to Mr.. Ellis
at all. The latter was the first TO Apply
the principle to the coupon litigation. ana
as soon as he announced 1t in his pet-
tons and briefs mt TO the Court or APP
peals, both Mr.. Pollard and the Attorney
General heartily acquiesced therein ana
continued till the end to render most In
telligent service in the good cause.
II the decision had been adverse 10
the State there would have been no
emulation among the gentlemen Named
for the honor OF success. But, as they
have been emnenty successful. and al
have manfully contributed to the de-
sired object, let the honor be equally
divided between them. This is our unan-
imous verdict on this occasion. and II
there is any more glory In the victory
than counsel claim for themselves. we
move that 1t be distributed pro rata be-
tween the Court OF Appeals and the Board
OF Sinking Fund Commss!oners.-Norfo
Landmark.

Experts report that the Moody taber-
nacle is not only strong. but las two OF
them declared) Unnecessarily strong"
Knowing the men under whose superin,
tcndence the tabernacle was built. we felt
sure that upon investigation this would
prove to be the case.
Ever since the Capitol disaster, which
occurred April q. 1870. the people OF Rich
mond have been very particular In en-
quirng into the safety OF their public
buildings. We do not blame them. for
Il is better to be extravagant In the use
OF nails and timbers than to put any life
in jeopardy.
Now that this report Of careful and
capable experts has been made as to the
strength OF the Moody tabernacle. we
trust that alarmists will find something
else TO gossip about
1t Is not only desirable that the struc-
ture should be safe. but that the public
should have confidence in 1t. otherwise
the swapping OF a rung of a chair or the
breaking OF the back OF n bench might
create panic. and cause boundless
mischief.
There are tens of thousands OF persons.
citizens Of Richmond and country friends,
who will come here for the purpose, who
expect to derive great comfort and salts
faction from attending these proposed
meetings. and we are sure that the Com
mittee Of Arrangements will do everything
in their power to contribute to their
happiness. There will be capable ushers
TO seat the crowds, and there are chairs
for about 5000 persons, including a choir
Of great numbers. And It happens well
that the tabernacle is within convenient
distance of three street-car lines, while
the Second Baptist church. DR.. Hoge's
church. and the hall of the Young Mems
Christian Association are right at hand,
ready for use should occasion demand
the organization Of overflow meetings.

Among other great journalistic feats OF
ours, we claim to have been the first to
predict that the United States Senate
would not dare to divide time with the
Breckenridge case. 1t is not proposed by
Mr.. Voorhees, even to call up the tariff
bill till April ID. BY that time the Brock
inridge case will be ended. and plain
senator can hope to get some attention
from the public.

reelection to the House Of Representa-
tives. 1t is the opinion of many that he
will be very lucky indeed II he Is allowed
to serve out his present term In that
body. Unless there should be a turn In
the tide Of testimony. the signs are that
there will be much public sentiment In
favor of the House expelling him from
membership.

Editor Washington Post: In an article
in your issue of Sunday, March 18th, un-
der head of Governors in Their Homes"
the statement Is made that New York is
the only State which provides an execu-
tive mansion for its Governor. This Is a
mistake. The State Of Mississippi Uhe
home and native State of the writer) pro-
vides a mansion for its Chief Executive,
which Is at the present time occupied by
Governor John NJ. Stone and family.
JESSE W. MORGAN.
And we may add that for 10 these many
decades Virginia has furnished her Gov
ernor with desirable residence, and We
believe that 1t is the Oldest executive
mansion in the United States, having been
built about 1913. At present 1t is occupied
by Governor O'Ferrall and family, who
find themselves very comfortable there.
North Carolina also provides her Gov
ernor with residence very handsome
one of modern construction. Indeed. We
believe that this is the rule with the States
rather than the exception.

1t is now alleged that Stonewall Jack
son used to sleep regularly In church
while the sermon was being delivered.
We doubt It. Probably he but closed his
eyes, the better to exclude all worldly
scenes and thoughts. Unless it can be
showed that he snored, we shall consider
that the case Is not proved.
In the great Valley campaign some Of
Jackson's brother-generals spoke Of him
as both drowsy and frowsy-looking; yet
he proved himself more alert than any of
them. And while never a dressy man,
our information is that he was always
tidy.

Y. w. c. T. u. Notes.

The following selection was taken
from an article by W. Jennings Demon
est:
History and every day facts go to
prove that national prosperity is de-
pendent upon the virtue of the people,
that national completely with popular
vice is the prolific cause of national
disaster. The tremendous injury
caused by the liquor traffic makes it
stand out as the monumental curse of
the ninteenth century. The results of
this traffic become the national calam-
ity of such huge proportions that it
blights our whole civilization with a
mildew of moral insensibility, para
lyZes enterprise, pervertes law, under
mines virtue and brushes the hopes
and aspirations of the people. This
has resulted in business stagnatiOn that
has brought about enforced idleness of
workmen all over the United states,
individual and corporate interests
everywhere-suffering, loss and de-
preston. This industrial and COM
merical depression, mainly attributal
to the terrible exhaustive and awfully
criminal character of the liquor traffic.
The terrible fact that two thousand
millions of dollars are consumed every
year by the poisonous liquor traffic in
nation numbering sixty-fve millions
of people is quite enough to prove how
utterly impossible it would be to have
good times or a prosperous community
with such a tremendous drain upon
our resources. The wonder is that we
have so much virtue and vitality left,
Notwithstanding this physical and
moral degradation which has been
going on for years. These stupendOus,
but indispensable facts should awaken
anxious inquiries as to what is to be
the final outcome of the depressed and
unsettled condition of society toward
which the liquor traffic is now drifting
us. " hat is to be the final consequence
of this constantly increasing con-
sumption of alcoholic liquors, followed,
as it is sure to be by a more terrible
accumulation of the crime misery, pow
erty and anarchy now threatening our
whole country with their disastrous
effects.g
In view of these awful facts (which
are facts not theories) and with which
all thinking minds are more or less
familiar. We may we'll ask what is
the remedy for this tremendous loss
and injury jeopardizing our civiliza-
ton, and what will the people do to
free themselves from this monster
curse?" A ~"
| 1t is probably not the coolest weather you
ever knew in your life; but that is how y0n
feel inst now, because past sufferings are
soon forgotten, and because your blood
