The local spot market for the past week

having declined fully Nc since the last
report, Cotton has been freely offered and
buyers have taken advantage of the sit

Editor Times. I have just read with
profound satisfaction Of the election Of
Rev. DR.. John b. Newton TO the Office
of assistant bishop of Virginia. Though a
member of another denomination. / do
not think it unbecoming for me TO con-
graduate the EpscOpalians. and all other
Christians of Virginia. on the selection OF
such man for this exalted office. The
beloved brother possesses every qualinca-
ton of mind and heart required for the
position, and by his superior ability. good
judgment, soundness in evangelical doc
trine, personal piety, and cathcllcity Of
soul will WELD a great influence and do
grand work for the advancement Of
the highest interests of religion in the
State.
DR.. Newton has been my cherished
friend for many years, and / rejoice that
this wel-deserved honor has been laid
upon him. My best wishes and prayers
for the new bishop.

made against a protective tariff than was

he spoke for II and number
Of other labor unions that he named. His
plea was especially for the Diamond Cut
iers Union. Of New York city, in behalf
OF which he asked that the duty on cut
diamonds should be Is per cent. and that
uncut diamonds should be admitted free
Of duty.
His plea was made in opposition to

that. Unless reduced, the diamond cutters
Of New York would have to go into other
occupations. This is the most complete
argument we lave met with for both a

son bill is intended to put in force.
Mr.. Cummings frankly admits that the

protection OF only Is per cent. ION the

raw material is admitted free, the dia-
mond cutters will have a very good time
of it. and will be able TO extort under It
the last cent that the American public
can be forced TO pay. But suppose no duty
at all were charged on either cut or I'M
cut diamonds. what would happen then?
1t might be there would be no diamond
cutters in America, and, therefore, no
diamond cutters union. But almost all
Americans who can afford them like TO
wear diamonds, and they would get their
diamonds much cheaper than they will
get them under the bill as it stands now,
or as it would stand with Mr.. Cummings
amendment Who should be considered
iii such a case, the whole body Of the
American people or the two or three hun
dred men who cut diamonds?
It's unfortunate the point of the argu-
ment should have been illustrated in the
case Of diamonds which are a luxury
for the rich, but every man can see that
the same line Of reasoning that applies
to diamonds applies to an other things.
Mr.. Wilson should impose a tax on
diamonds according to their value rata
bly, along with all other imports and then
justice would be done even if the two or
three hundred diamond cutters in the
United States were thereby compelled to
so into other occupations.

A young woman Of fourteen or fifteen

Under the title "A British Peer in Amer
ica," the London Court Journal has the
| following:
perhaps few Americans are aware that
they have in the United States as a per-
manent resident British peer of com
paratvely ancient lineage. This Is the
ninth Baron Fairfax, one of whose ances-
tors emgrated TO North America about a
century ago. The Americans are, 1t seems,
sc much addicted to tie rights Of property
Of other persons, that they siezed the op-
Icrtunity of annexing to the State the
possessions OF the sixth Baron Fairfax.
This nobleman owned many millions OF
acres and as the War of Independence
showed him in loyalist colors his property
was promptly forfeited. The present bar
on, the ninth, practices as a physician,
and lives quite an everyday existence
in a quiet spot in Maryland"
We have heard something Of this be-
fore and we believe it to be a fact We
believe 1t to be a fact that DIR. Fairfax
could so to England, walk into the House
Of Lords; take his seat, and cast his
vote upon any one Of the momentous
questions which come before that august
tribunal for determination. If it be true
that he can, the fact that he does not is
very striking commentary upon the
value which American citizens set upon
their American citizenship.
And 1t is not surprising that it should
be so. 1t is a great thing in this world
for man TO be able TO say Il am a ci.!-

The constitutional convention which
would have to ratify the changes contem-
mated In the Constitution has been the
subject OF discussion for some time, and
the question of prohibiting members of
the Senate and House OF Delegates from
becoming candidates for such offices
as are in the gift Of the General
Assembly is the one referred to
as being the most important of those
likely TO be suggested.
The senators do not express themselves
very freely in favor of a constitutional
convention, and there Is some objection
on the ground that a convention of such
a character would likely go outside OF
the questions for which IT might be
specifically called and deal with matters
which might dlsastrously affect the Demo-
