THE GOVERNORS REPLY.
COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA,
GOVERNORS OFFICE,

COMMONWEALTH OF lRGlNla,
GOVERNORS OFFICE,
RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 8, 1894.
The World, New York:
Things have come to a pretty pass IN
this country when we are to have lot
of English moralists sticking their noses
into our internal affairs. 1t is the
ouintescence of brass and impudence.
They had better sweep in front of their
own doors before seeking to regulate
us. We might as well investigate Eng
lands affairs in India, her White Chap
ell murders, her Jack the Ripper slash,
ings, the Maybrick trial and her alleged
Injustice and cruelty to this woman,
her rapacious colonial policy in Africa
and the degrading effect upon the Chi
nese resulting from her opium war.
What do they propose to do in case
they find the law is not administered
here according to their ideas? Declare
war against US or open the vials OF their
wrath upon our heads?
What information do they seek? Do
they want to know that the white peo-
pie in the South have lynched negroes
whose miserable lusts led them to the
commission of the black crime of rape
upon white women? If SO, they need
not investigate, for such is the fact. DO
they desire to know that this has been
done by Infatuated communities for The
protection of their white women and to
save the victims of these fiends from
the humiliation of testifying in court !?
If so this is the fact. Do they want to
know whether there was any doubt as
to the guilt of the men lynched? If so
for the satisfaction of their yearning
souls they could have ascertained with
out encountering the perils of a sea
trip that their guilt was clear in every
instance.
If they had desired to learn whether these
lynchings were permitted or countenanced by
the civil authorities, they could have learned
through the regular channels of correspond
ence that in every case the civil authorities
were either without knowledge or were over
nowered. In Virginia the authorities i'll
every case have asserted all their power to
supnress the lynching spirit, and within the
last few months have protected from vio-
lence with military st heavy expense TO the
State. three negroes who were charged with
outraging white women. They had fair trials,
were convicted and executed. While lynch
law is to be condemned aud every effort has
been and will be made to suppress it in the
South without the advice Of those would
philanthropists who have taken so much upon
themselves, lynchings will surely cease when
the crime of rape ceases. These sympa-
thetic Englishmen might find missionary
work among the negroes of the South in warn
ing them against the consequences OF the
forcible qualification of their devilish lusts.

Governor of Virginia

In RESPECT of the use of public prop
erty for private purposes, as practiced
at present by the President and some
of the members of his Cabinet, it must
not be forgotten that "a years have
elapsed since Secretary Cobb out OF his
own private pocket paid the entire ex-
pense of the trip of revenue cutter
ON which he had taken some distin-
guished people, aud that men change
with time, aud that morals as we'll as
manners change with them. Indeed
the whole theory upon which the gov
eminent was founded has been revolt
tionized within the period referred to,
and though men in high official posi-
tons still say that public office is a
public trust, and that officers are SER
wants, they act upon the idea that pup
lie Office is private snap, and that
officers are masters. The worst OF this
is, that revolutions never go backward

New YORK. Sept. 11.-There was great
rush to cover shorts in the srangers and sugar
right after the opening of business, but when
these orders had been executed the market
receded all along the line. The early rise
was due to the government crop report for
September, which was isued after the close of
of the board yesterday and which shows the
condition of corn to be decidedly better than
expected. At IL o'clock sugar was strong
and tho general list stca iy.

In Memory of Susan LefOrge.

FAIRFAx, o.. May 7th, 1894.
Death has again visited our little vii.
lage and claimed Susan Leforge as his
victim.
Aunt Susan, as she was familiarly
called, was one of our oldest residents,
having emigrated from Virginia to this
place over sixty years ago. After emf
grating to this vicinity she married John
Leforge. From this union there was
born to them two sons and two daugh.
ters, all of whom have preceded her to
the better land. Her husband died
about nine years ago., and of all their
family Aunt Susan was the last one
called, but when the summons came on
the 25th of April she was ready for the
journey, having made her peace with
the Master when she was but bloom
ing maiden. She had been a faithful
and consistent member of the M. E.
Church for upwards OF seventy years,
and during all that time was never
known to shirk any church duty, and
was always foremost in the workings of
the church. At the time of her death
she was 81 years and days old, one of
the oldest citizens of Concord township.
She had been confined to her bed for
nearly year, but during all her suffer.
ing was never heard to complain, but
silently awaited the Savior's call when
she would be reunited with her loved
ones gone on before. Her door was
always open to the preacher, and many
now in the Cincinnati Conference will
well remember the hospitality of Aunt
Susan. She was buried in the M. E.
cemetery at this place from the house of
l.. F. Webster, where she had been
making her home for the last eight
months, and we can truly say of her,
Gagged pilgrim, ,art thou bending over
thy staff like the patriarch seeking a
better country; do thy aged limbs
tremble on the way? Be of good cour.
age, the difficult heights before thee are
the Delectable Mountains. Struggle on,
thou art on the threshold of thy home
there is rest for thee there, thy home
is above and a rest remaineth for thee
there" There's rest at home, in that
heavenly home.
The voyage of lifes' at an end,
The mortal affiiction is past
The age that in heaven shall spend
Forever and ever shal! last.

In their new province of Burmah
the British traders will have to en-
counter the competition of very shrewd
rivals-the agents of the Chinese ex
port merchants. Canton and Hong
Kong merchants have their agencies
an all the neighboring coasts of the
Indian Ocean, and in the espionage
of business opportunities would beat a
Chicago drummer at his own tricks
On the Tartar frontier they are equal
ly successful. and seem to make hv-
ing where other bipeds could hardly
postpone starvation. The secret of
their success is not penuriousness-
for their Weather classes are liberal
to fault as much as their farseeing
thrift, The poorest Chinaman will
always manage to forecast the proba-
bilities of his years income, and con-
trive to live within his neans, though
it should cost him four fast days
week. With the Frightening of his
prospects his aceticism will gradual
ly relax, and misers proper e., rich
skinfints-are said to be extremely
rare in the Flowery Kingdom; but
even the wealthiest always attend to
the supervision of their own financial
concerns. Prudence in the widest
business sense of the word, is nation
al virtue in the land of Confucius. and
our redskins must have strangely de-
generated if they are really of Mon
golian origin.

Lord CrOner.

Lord Cromer, the British diplomatic
agent at Cairo and the real ruler OF
Egypt, is very interesting English
man. 1t is his habit to read Homer in
the original Greek for half an hour
after breakfast every morning, and
his afternoons are given up to lawn
tennis. AT the time of the recent
"crisIs" in Egyptian affairs he ordered
the khedive TO dismiss his prime min
lister within twenty-four hours, sent to
Malta aud TO Alden for troops 20 sup
port him in case of emergency, and
then went out and played tennis until
sunset.
Richard Harding Davis, who has sent
to Harper's Weekly an entertaining ac-
count of this and other of his lordship's
performances, thinks that diplomat
who can snub king and set 5000 SOL
diers in motion in the morning and
then spend the afternoon calmly call
ing out @forty-love," "forty-fifteen,"
etc, is very remarkable man; and
most people will agree that he is. ~
