German and Our Virginia Senators

RiChmOnd Times OF yeSteIudH''
The Dispatch quotes the following from
the Alexandria Gazette:
The Washington correspondent Of the
Alexandria Gazette, writing his paper on
Friday last. says:
Among the visitors here now Is Judge
John r. Harris. Of Virginia. In taking
shout the recent senatorial election III
his State to-day. the Judge said that in
the United States Senate Of the next Con
Cress il would be- found that virginia
i'm Mr.. Martin. would have her Arthur l..
German"
God forbid! God forbid that Virginia
should be represented by Arthur i. Cor
man or any man like him. anywhere on
this earth German IS the master ma
chnist OF corrupt politics in the United
States. Richmond Times
Which proves that the Times Is as igno-
rant Of the true character OF Mr.. Goiihah
as II is OF that OF the man In the moon.
II Senator-elect Martin shall have the
respect and Influence in the Senate and
throughout the country accorded 10 MI.
German. Virginia may well be proud of
her two senators.-Alexandria Gazette.
We have noticed this In the Gazette
but had fore borne To comment upon II.
But now that the Dispatch brings II for
ward We will remark that II would he
well for Mr. German If all others were
as ignorant Of his true character as they
are Of that Of the man in the moon.
But since the Dispatch quotes this. and
gives 1t thereby a seeming endorsement.
it is quite in order to ask If 1t also would
be proud 10 have Virginia represented by
an y. i. German?
senators Daniel. Hunton, and Martin
suit us very well, and we say frankly
that We should lie unwilling TO exchange
any one of them for Mr.. GOrman but,
ON the other hand. the esteem in which
MIR Corn an is held by the Democrats of
Maryland persusdcs us that they would
not swap him for any one Of our sena-
tors.
Mr.. German not only has the iniorse-
mcnt of the Maryland Democracy, but
stands high with his brother senators,
who on more occasions than one have
chosen him as their spokesman and leader.
Not having the advantage of personal
acquaintance with Mr.. German we Judge
him by his reputation among Democrats.
and accept tho opinion Of him which
seems to obtain in his own state and in
the United States Senate-viz, that he is
worthy gentleman and d stalwart and
able Democrat.
AS is well-known there are German
and anti-Gorman factions In the Mary
land Democracy but we observe that the
former generally carry the day at the
polls. This result has not been changed
10y the Introduction OF the Australian bal
lot. General Bradley n. Johnson some
years ago made a strong fight against
Mr.. German, but he found that the odds
were against him.

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 81, 1894
Sensational News from Brazil.

II the reports at hand are 20 be relied
upon-and we must say that we do not
believe they are--the opera bouffe war in
Brazil has come 10 sudden and sensa-
tional conclusion by the surrender of Adj
miraI Da Cana 20 Admiral Benham. OF
the United States feet. now lying in Rio
BAY.
For several days statements were afloat
in this country that our Admiral was
using his influence TO effect peace be-
tween the insurgcnt Brazilians and the
Pcixoto government. hut AT the State
Department at Washington it was prompt
~ denied that he had any authority TO
ofcr his services as mediator Then 1t was
said that Benham was actlng-if at all
unonlcially and as a private person. who
was avcrse to the useless shedding -
blood. 1t Is true that there has been
little blood-etting so far, but Benham
being an experienced fighting sea-dog,
was supposed 10 know that firearms are
dangerous even in the hands of children
or Brazilians.
Next We heard In the way of Rio news
that Ia Gama's men were acting saucily
towards some American shippers who
wished to change the position Of their
vessels in the Rio harbor and who re-
sent,d the idea Of being fired upon. and
that Admiral Bcnham had made some Of
his ships Of war escort one of these YES
sells 20 the desired position. Yesterday
came the further news that as an addi-
tional chapter I'm this controversy the in
surgcnt Brazilian ship Guanabara had
fired a shot at the American merchant
man Good News and that the United
States war-ship Detroit forthwith "hrei
a 6-pOuud shot across the bows of the
Guauabara". that then the Guanahara
replied, and as a rejOinder the Detroit
put a. small shell into the Guanaharas
sternpost." and was "on the point or
delivering a broadsiie when the Guiana
bara signallcd that she would stop firing.
Later by way Of London. came TIT news
that Ia Cana had surrendered himself
and feet 10 the American Admiral
As vet these startling reports have not
been verified by official reports received
at Washington. but they may be true In
whole or in part. II Ia CANA has surien-
dered himself into the hands Of Admiral
Benham he will he able TO save his head
OF which good fortune he could have no
surety by surrendering to PeiXoto.
The insurgent cause seems hopeless
and it would be shrewd thing for Da
CANA and his followers TO become prison
ers Of the United States rather than OF
the so-callcd Republic of Brazil. How
ever. it IA not wise to credit the London
story until IL is verified by dispatches TO
our authorities at Washington. So many
sensational reports have come from RIO
Il is the part Of prudence TO distrust
them all till they are corroborated. They
are very much after the order of those
ingenious fabrications whercwith the dar-
kics who fed from within the Confcdc-
rate lines were wont TO regale the officers
al the Federal outposts. and which, after
learning much from experiences. prudent
newspapers In the North used TO print
with the aGdendum that the news in
question was important II true"

MI. Carlisle VIII Not Halt.

Mr. Carlisle has gone so far that he
cannot so back in the matter Of making
the new loan. The New York Times
says OF it:
The bonds will be sold The money
wiz be used by Mr.. Carlisle 10 meet the
obligations OF the Treasury. 'Ehe House
resolution will be mere stage thunder,
or. II the unholy alliance by which il
is pressed wishes to carry further their
fight against Mr.. Carlisle, they Will md,
as they found last fan. that they have
on their hands 1t fight with the honest
people of the whole country. The result
will not be doubtful"
Yes, the bonds will he sold. and II there
be occasion for passing an enabling act.
the people will compel their representa-
tives to pass one. The folly OF the mis-
chief-makers might involve incaiculabe
loss to the people Millions, nay, tens Of
millions. nay. hundreds OF millions will
not cover the country's possible loss.
II is almost matter OF the life or death
OF the Republic

What Prohibition Means.

Every law presupposes the ability or
the law-makng power to enforce II.
When. therefore. a woman asks why She
is not allowed to vote, the answer is.
because she IL disqualified by the law OF
nature, or, which is the same thing. the
law OF God. TO enforce any unpopular law
she might enact. So we repeat that law
presupposes force, and prohibitory IL
quor law presupposes force enough TO
put down all opposition 10 its execution.
How are we TO ascertain whether
prohlbitory law can be enforced or not?
Under the law OF Virginia as IT now
stands we have the right upon conditions
prescribed In that law TO take the sense
OF the voters upon the question OF prohibit
lion. II n majority of them In any city,
town. or county vote against granting
license 10 sell intoxicating liquors, II Is
assumed at once that prohibition can he
enforced in that place, and the authori-
ties proceed accordingly. If. on the other
hand. the majority vote for granting
such licenses. 1t is assumed that a pro-
hibitory law could not be enforced in
that place. and accordingly licenses are
granted and the State derives revenue
therefrom.
We have maintained that the existing
law is IA good compromise measure, 1t
allows liquors 10 be sold where the peo-
ple declare in favor of their sale, ana
forbids them to DO sold where the peo-
pie declare against their sale. The law
recognizes force az an element that ought
10 be taken into the account
II the right OF suffrage were extended
TO the women OF Richmond and II pro-
hibitory law were submitted 20 the voters
for ratification or rejection. almost all
the female voters would probably vote
for ratification. But II all the women
here were thus to vote and only thou
sand or two of the male voters were 10
vote with them. the opponents OF prom
bition would laugh them 10 scorn. Inc
eight or ten thousand female voters would
count as nothing when party spirit should
become rife. Witness the late scenes IN
Augusta county. What strength would
unanimous vote OF the women there Tor
prohibition have added 10 the cause OF
the Prohibitionists? What amount OF
force would all their votes have repre-
sented?
We DO not thus illustrate our argument
because we maintain that II would be
right for the male voters TO treat with
contempt the expressed WIN Of the female
yoters; but 20 recognize force az an eie-
msnt that cannot safely be omitted from
calculations made upon this subject
Again: IL the female voters cannot en-
force their will as against the VIII u
the male voters. no more can majority
OF the male voters enforce their VIII as
against a large minority Of such voters.
II would be impossible, we suppose for
any anti-llquor law which the Lesisia-
ture OF Illinois could pass to BIO enforced
In Chicago. In Iowa, too' the members
Of the Virginia Legislature have before
them an object-less which they wou''

female voters will exercise as much In
f'uence over all sorts OF legislation as
the male voters. For there will come
dag when both men and women will oc-
cupy a higher plane than they now &C.
cupy. The world IL growing better every
day. but so long AZ the existing coho'-
ton OF things shall last, II will be Wise
for male majoritles not to presume
upon their assumed strength, and fema'c

issued the warrant said 10 your corre-

said he had spent night and day around
Fields home, and heard enough to show
that the negroes were guilty. lie said he
had two witnesses 70 what transpired. and
one OF the parties living at Peter.s

Despite the second arrest It Is generally
believed that the negroes are innocent. and
that the testimony OF Boze and his Wit
