THE GRIM wARRIO JOY.

We know Of nothing so graphic as Ma
jor Daniels description of General Early
appearing in that battery on the Heights
Of Lynchburg. with his white felt hat and
black plume and looking at Hunters
advancing Skirmsfers, muttering, mo
buttermilk rangers after you now. damn
you" No, General Early had got them,
and he had at his back corps of the
Army of Northern Virginia. He had no
right 10 swear, but he had a right to
eXult He had at his back a body OF
il fantry and artillery that had passed
through The sternest trials that war can
impose on men. They had withstood the
shock of battle in scores Of engagements,
and had proved upon many fields that
they might be destroyed, but could not
be dsheartened. Well might this grim
old lronsides mutter. you have got
something TO do now, damn you! And,
at last, what was there for General Early
to congratulate himself upon? He had
reached Lynchburg in time to interpose
5000 men, broken down by forced march
the city, to $500! That was the case, and
that was all. But it was enough. Hunter
needed no more than to feel the touch
OF those ragged battalions, and he was
gone. Eighteen thousand five hundred
men made a good backing for him when
all TO be done was TO burn some dwell
ings inhabited by women and infant chill
dren. But 1880 men were nothing to his
cowardly heart when 5000 OF the hus-
bands, sons and brothers Of those women
were in his presence to demand from him
an account OF his brutal ferocty.
He fed ingloriously at Early's first
touch, and, perhaps, he did the most
prudent thing he could have done. But
that justice which cannot refrain from
sometimes enjoying its own sharpest
edge will always regret that he did not
stand 20 try one bout with grim old Jubal.
He had all the chances in his favor, and
enough men to catch and behead all of
his enemies. But it would have been an
occasion for history to pause at If Hunter
had stopped that day long enough for
Jubal Early to get to good reach at his
throat Eighteen thousand men do not
make a very large army, but IL is our own
belief that if the 5000 men Early had at
Lynchburg that day had only been allow
ed to grapple with Hunters 1880 the
career OF dwelling-burners would have
had an illustration that future time would
not readily forget.

THE WAY VIRGINIA VIEWS 1T.

1t is now announced from Washington
that / administration proposes to find
out what is the sentiment of the people
OF Virginia respecting the change of the
name of AppomattoX TO Surrender. with
view TO restoring Appomattox If II
shall turn out that the people of the State
are in fave of L.
II seems one of the most useless things
to so into this enquiry that ever was
done. OF course the people OF Virginia
were offended at the change of the name
20 Surrender, and of course the people
want the name of Appomattox restored.
We were badly beaten in our fight; we
acknowledged it like men, and we have
tried in good faith to live up 10 the new
bargain We made at the surrender. But
II Is not good taste TO be always Ringing
our beating In our teeth. nor to be al
ways reminding US that we were frazzed
out until we were compelled to surrender
Common sense ought 10 have taught a
northern man that he should not attempt
10 put the humiliation upon us, and the
same common sense should have sug-
gested TO him that we would view It as
an attempted humiliation.

1t is a curious fact that in the one day
since Captain Benjamin Ryan Tillman
was elected senator from South Caro-
lima his portraits show no more sinis-
ter and practical-looking calendar. but
a great-browed and thoughtful philan-
thropist, somewhere between John How
ard and William Wherefore. Evidently
the artists are not disposed to take any
chances. The Captain may be looked for
in the North shortly. ready TO dispense
dispensary iustice.-New York Sun.
Tillman Is one Of the most picturesque
statesmen in the country. He has no
more eyes than Henry Watterson, and
he swears as fuently as Horace Greeley
used to do. He knows hawk from A
hand-saw, and is altogether not a bad
man. since he became senator. He does
not drink drop-of South Carolina whs-
ky.-Norfolk Landmark
Oh, yes; Captain Ben. appears a much
better man now as United States SEN
ator-elect than he did as plain Governor
Tillman.

The truth OF the whole matter Is that
a northern man cannot understand ,he
way In which we view the war. lie can
not get out OF his mind the notion that
We are a little bit ashamed OF the war
and wish Il had not happened But ITO
greater mistake ever was made In TINS
world. The southern people are not
ashamed OF the part they played III tne
war; on the contrary, they glory III IT,
and they do not regret that IL occurred III
sp,te OF what II cost them. on the con-
4rary. they would not have had 1t to nave
failed 10 occur. When the northern man
understands this TO be the state OF the
case he will begin to learn something oil
the temper and feeling OF the southern
people.
To understand them ne must learn that
they had and have the most absolute
confidence that they had the constltu-
tional right to secede from the ohloh'
that they fought what they regarded as
a war Of defence against wanton ana
cruel invasion Of them; that they glory
in the heroic courage and constancy which
their entire people showed; that they are
proud and hallowed memories OF the
struggle and that they will never part with
one of them, but will cherish them lor-
ever, and teach their children to per-
petuate them when they are gone.
When a northern man understands that
this is the temper and feeling Of our peo-
pie he will begin to learn that those peo-
pie look on 81 as something of an insult
for the United States Government TO name
'Appomattox Surrender"

simply n burden upon the business. which
must lower the price the producer OF TO-
bacco receives and raise the price OF II
20 the consumer? In which Is the great
public Interested. that few thousand
tobacco dealers shall make living out OF
selling cigarettes. or that the planter shan
get the highest price possible for his TO-
bscco. and that the smoker shall get Ms
cigarettes as cheapy as possibieF IL
seems to us that statement OF the queS-
ton furnishes the answer.
Nor does one concern getting exclusive
control Of a business by legitimate COM
retltion necessarily result In the pubic
having to pay more for what P''
duces than what 1t would otherwise nave
TO pay. In the first place excessive proi''S
tend TO excite competition ana lot
midable competitor once fairy embarked
in tho business will cost an old concern
20, ,,,oes what Il will make from UNI
reasonable profits. But the great cohtroii-
ing principle which holds prices OF the
article down is that OF self-interest. III
is a law OF trade. as certain and as iNeu
as the law OF gravitation, that the ten
dency of a business Is towards the lowest
price compatible with reasonable profits
because great profit comes from volume
OF business. Infinitely more money is
made by selling great quantities at small
profits than small quantities at great
profits. The tendency. then, of busi-
ness which has acquired a practical mo-
nopoly Of its trade. not by projections OF
law, but by its own competitions. Is TO re-
duce the price Of what ii sells to the
lowest point that will produce 1t a fair
and reasonable profit. and this is proved
by what the Standard Oil Company has
done in reducing the price of oil from
$50 per gallon to 10 cents per gallon.
The Times repeats that it has no con-
Germ whatever with the American Tobacco
Company. but it has a very great concern
in the economic questions involved here.
because on them turn the question wheth-
er we are TO be a prosperous and pro-
gressive people or a narrow and hide
bound one like the Chinese.

New York Times: Finance did not play
a great part in the elections OF this year.
There was no distinct division between
the two great parties on that subject.
Where the question was prominent as IN
Ohio, it was due TO the crazy and tredch-
erous attempt of a party 10 catch votes
at. any cost, which failed completely. The
heavy Republican gains in the elections
were not generally supposed TO indicate
any financial legislation In the next con-
gress. and certainly there was 70 reason
TO infer that an attempt would be made
TO anticipate such legislation by the
present Congress. Yet within fortnight
OF the opening of the session we have
very radical currency measure deter
mined Oh by the Banking Committee Tor
favorable report and the probability OF
fortnight or more of debate, from when
a bill is pretty sure 10 emerge and start
on its way TO the Senate.

lures Of naval reorganization by the old

deep regret. There are certain serious
Weaknesses i'm the present organization
Of our navy. They are not matters OF
controversy or doubt. The chief difficult
ties are the slow promotion in the junior
grades. resulting in apathy among the
younger officers, and the delay In coming
TO command and flag rank causing our
naval commanders TO lose their confidence
and independence Of action. which are

New York Sun: The Superintendent Of
Police and the Police Commissioners,
with the exception Of Mr.. Sheehan. sub
mitted meekly TO a severe public humh-
iation on Friday and Saturday. The SUI
perintendent had recommended the sus-
pension of Captain Creeden, and the 20
lice Board had approved IT. That officer
had plainly perjured himself. 1t was
right TO suspend him. Whether 1t
was right or wrong. The act was one
within the discretion Of the Police Board.
But it seems that the Superintendent OF
Police and the Police Board have not the
power to regulate the police force, or 10
take such steps as they deem best 10
maintain discipline i'm that body. No
sooner had the news OF the course OF
the Police Board in regard to captain
Creeden come TO the ears OF the LeXow
Committee than it got into passion. MT
Lexow was white with rage 1t seems
TO US that the people Of this town are
all Inundated in this humiliation OF the
Police Commissioners and the Superin-
tendent OF Police. Here IS a great de-
partment entrusted by law TO certain Off
GERS Is it to be controlled, In tact' by
a committee of the Legislature, drunk
with its own importance and apparently
in the mood Of the maudlin ana hysterical
fools that attend It's sessions TO shake
the hands Of perjurers and 10 cheer the
ignominy of the Police Board.

and delivered. At first the girls were
delighted with likeness. but when a few

their most intimate girl friends, they
made a h%orrifying discovery. The stup-
