The Khedive's Indiscretion.

The drift Of events in Egypt IL towards
not e. matter Of surprise II John Bull
puts his foot down in that quarter with
q hrmness that VIII shake things up gene

that 10 is slow 10 learn that he IS not
master OF the land Of the Pharaohs. Ever
since he was elevated to khediyu hOnJTs
he has eyinccd disposition TO be con-
tumacious towards tine British authori-
ties in Egypt, but the policy OF the latter
has been 10 treat him with lenlency and
forbearance, in the hope that he would
gradually come to appreciate the fact
that it was useless to kick against the
pricks.
This, however, he seems to have failed
to do. Recently while on a visit to South
ern Egypt he was guilty Of most Insulting
criticism OF the British troops and al
though Lord Cromer, the British diplo-
matte agent in Egypt brought him up
with 4 round turn and made him apollo

whose removal from another important
position Lord Cr0mer forced.
Such an act of defiance can hardly be-
expected 10 pass without serious notice,
and while it may not bring matters to an
immediate issue 80 far as the future
government Of Egypt is concerned. It is
very clear that 1t places Abbas very near
the line just beyond which is deposition,
Indeed. Abbas's deposition and the eleva-
ton OF his brother to the khclival power
was being discussed BY the British press
before his las. indiscretion was COM
mittod. II is conceded that this change
could hardly be accomplished without
cyoking a great deal OF buster from

Tho stoneyyall Jackson Story.

our Raleigh correspondent wrote rev
DAYS ago that eN-Congressman W. Al
Robbins, OF that State, declares that he
heard General Bee eXcaim There stands
Jackson like a stone wall. Let's so TO
his assistance" and General ID. IL. HILL
therefore, must have been in error IN
charactcrzng that story as sheer
fabrication" At the First Battle OF
Manassas Colonel Robbins was an officer
Of the Fourth Alabama Regiment ana
he is confident that many Others OF that
command heard the remark OF General
Bee.
In view Of the high reputation of Colo
mel Robbins it would seem that TINS
settles the dispute. lie was present;
General lin was not.
So far as we know the story was never
called in question until the publication
Of General uill's posthumous article en-
titled "The Real stonewall Jackson" but
thcre have been several disputes as 10 the
ureclse words Bee used after eXclaiming
"Yonder stands Jackson like stone
wall" one account represents that Bee
added. Lets rally behind the Virgin
ians"; another that the words were Lets
20 TO his assistance" The latter agrees
with Colonel Robbins's recollectons.
A few years ago the Dispatch published
a letter from a North Caroiinian-it
might have been Colonel Notwithstanding
issue with the former version and testi-
fying TO the correctness of the version
which we now have from Raleigh.
Bees language is craven on the jack
son monument in our Capitol Square.
and has become fixed in history. and from
all the information we have on the SUD
jeot, it is the truth and not fiction ana
stands alike honorable to jackson and
Bee. That stonewall Jackson died in the
belief that Bee had used the words In
question, the medical director OF his corps
and his attending physician in his last
illness, DR.. Hunter Mcclure. has recently
made clear 10 the public in an interview
published ia the Dispatch.

Tidewatar and southside Virginia.

But by the present methods the white
people In the negro belt receive as much
Representation as double their number
receive in the white counties. What do
the people in the white counties think
of hls?-The Richmond Times.
This f. the first time we ever
heard that any member OF the Legisla-
ture IL a representative OF the whites as
such. or OF the blacks as such. We had
always thought that he was the repre-
sentative OF all of tho people Of his
county.
The Democrats OF the First, Second,
and Fourth districts have brought out
their full strength under discourage
ments and conditions which would have
been Gisheartenlng elsewhere. They have
worked hard and nobly, and 1t Is unfair
TO attempt TO arouse prejudice against
them because Of the fact that they are
outnumbered by the negroes, as well as
by the white Democrats OF other districts.
They deserve to be commended and en-
couraged, rather than kicked out In the
cold with a sheer and a taunt.
II there were negro majorties in sixty
counties OF the State We suppose that the
Times would invite the Democrats OF tho
remaining forty counties TO view with
suspicion, and perhaps 10 reject any
white member elected by their less for
tunate brethren Of the negro counties
aforesaid.
If the white people OF TIdewater and
the Southside have double their represen-
tatlon (Which they have not, Of course
then 1t is the duty of the Democratic
Legislature to equalize representation. and
to do It upon the assumption and basis
that every negro county should return a
negro member. or member affiliated
with the negroes. Then the Democrats
OF the white counties will have justice at
last, and the Democrats OF the negro
counties can be turned over to the negroes
on the ground OF excessive representa-
ton. This would DO a great feat for the
Times TO accomplish, and to this end its
logic leads It.
\ similar charge 10 that made by the
Times that the white people in the negro
belt in Virginia receive as much repre-
sentation as double their number receive
In the white couties was made IN the
House Of Representatives by Mr. Cabot
Lodge, Of Massachusetts,. against tho

Statewide Prohibition.

Instructive experience has taught the
people of Iowa the lesson that estate
wide prohibition" As they term it-that
is, a prohibitory law intended TO operate
all over the State-is n dead failure. The
Iowa people will probably, so says the
Washington Post, turn 10 the Virginia
law for the model OF q new rrohibitory
law. That Is TO say, every town, city,
and county will be allowed to decide
the question for itself. The Sioux City
Journal says on this subject:
1T has been found, by experience. that
the Statewide law Is imperative In q
large part OF the State not In the large
cities only. but In many other localities
imperative. that is 10 say, wherever the
sentiment OF the community Is largely

virginia's Records.

RICHMOND, VA, February w. IeJt
To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
The following letter, which | received
few days ago from II prominent citi-
zen OF Philadelphia, who at the same
time wrote to Professor Lyon G.. Tyler,
OF Williamsburg, as stated by him In his
forcible argument before the Finance
Committee on Thursday, is germane 10 the
bill OF the Virginia Historical Society,
asking for an appropriation 10 be de-
voted 10 copying the early manuscript re-
cords OF Virginia history. new scattered

correspondent, ito obtain some data or
10 consult some publication showing the
high origin, character. and abilities of the
earliest settlers OF Virginia. l desire 10
use all the data that can collect 10 refute
an argument tending 10 prove that the
early settlers OF Virginia were con-
victs."
That such an impression should pre-
vail among educated people Is an indi-
cation OF the grossest ignorance. but IL
Is an ignorance that cannot be condemned
when 1t is recalled that the history OF this
State IN the seventeenth century has
never been written, and can never be
written. until there have been collected
in our State Library copies OF all the
manuscript documents relating 10 that
period. which are now practically inacces-
sible 10 Virginia scholars 10 whom alone
We must look for true history OF Vir-
glnia. The preservation of our records
has been pronounced by one opponent OF
the Virginia Historical Society bill 10 be
a luxury" Until IL comes to be con-
sldered a necessity, the belief will continue
to be held abroad that the foundation OF
Virginia was laid I'm n settlement OF con-
victs, inferior to those OF Botany Bay.
and about equal to those now confined in
