Of Illinois on the petition for the COM
mencemeut of quo warrautO proceedings

made until after the close Of business, and
consequently speculation in the stock OF the

price was down and a selling movement
was inaugurated, resulting in break OF

"The Question of Questions. ~

In giving his reasons for being In
favor Of an alliance in Alabama between
the Republicans and the Kolbites, Mr..
IIoar recently said that though Kolb
differed with the Republicans on some
questions. he was thoroughly sound on
the question of all questions-an honest
ballot"
IL this Is not a case Of Satan reproving
sin, then we have never known such a
case. The crime OF the age was COM
mitted when these Republicans conferred
the right Of suffrage upon the ignorant
colored masses in the South. and COR
ruptcd the ballot-box by proceedings
technically lawful but totally unjusti-
fable.
This corruption OF the ballot-box was
not resorted 20 with any good motives
on the part OF the Republicans. but
simply for the purpose Of perpetuating
their own rule. They took the risk Of
a racc-war in the southern States rather
than TO allow thc virtue intelligence. and
property of these states 10 rule them IN
the interest of the Democratic party.
And now, NJ this late day. when the
fifteenth article Of amendments to the
Federal Constitution mocks its trainers
and stands ont in bold relief as another
failure OF the Republican malignants
to put under foot the best elements OF
southern society. Mr.. Hoar has the ef-
froutcry 10 speak of "the question OF
questions an honest ballot"
What sort OF honest ballot is that
which trdmpics down the intelligent
whites and puts into the places Of honor
and cmolumcnt the ignorant negro?
Yet MIR. Hoar knows that in tho south
crn States. or certainly in most Of them,
the choice is between negro rule and
white rule and that the white man who
styles negro control Of the ballot in those
States an honest ballot" is an arrant
hypocrite.
The honest ballot" Of Mr.. Hoar and
his supporters is ballot which the
whites Of the South expect never TO sub
nit to if they can help themselves.
Honest ballot" Honest Hoar!'
Honest. honest IaCo."

Maury on Early.

on the first page Of to-day's issue we
print a letter Of comment from General
Dabney ii. Maury on the life of General
Jubal \. Early.
AS our readers know. General Maury
writes well, and he writes eloquently now
of man whom he knew long and tho
roughly understood.
He reveals to the public phases Of Gene
raj Early's character which will heighten
the deceaseds memory in the estimation
Of the many who knew that beneath a
somewhat rough exterior there dwe,t
a warm and generous heart. OF the 500.
900 which General Early received from
the Louisiana Lottery-Company II APP
pears that nearly $4,000 dollars were
devoted to the help Of people who had
enlisted the sympathies or had claims
upon the consideration OF the General.
In other words, General Early was con-
tent to bear the opprobrium OF connec-
ton with the lottery that he might serve
his friends.

Col. Fitzgorald's Letter on immigration

We publish this morning a long, but
not too long, letter from Colonel J. i.
Fitzgerald, OF Farmvilie, giving his views
rs TO the remedy for the deplorable con-
dition in which he finds such a large
part OF Virginia-namely, that part which
Is overrun by negroes. lie would neu-
tralize the negro element by "oyerwhe.m-
ing it with people of our own race. OF
our own selection, brought hither from
other States and other countries. who
can, by social and familiar intercourse
in our homes, in our churches. on our
court greens. and in our public assemblies.
be moulded TO think and act with us"
We commend this strong presentation
OF "the situation" TO the earnest consld-
Grafton OF our readers. Colonel tttz-
gerald's letter bristles with facts and
figures, which cannot but make Il strong
impression upon the minds Of the people
Of Virginia-especially those Of them who
live in what We may style the infected
district. or black belt.
We cannot repeat here Colonel Fitz-
gerald's arguments. but we can truthfuily
say that he has done much to open the
eyes Of the people concerned TO their con-
dition and create in their minds a hope
OF escaping from their worse than Egyp-
tian bondage not by moving away from
their homes but by following the path
which he blazes for them.

The Nesting of the Emperors.

20 far az outward appearances go 'he
recent meeting at Abazia OF william oi
Germany and Francis Joseph OK Austria
involved no more than the conventional
interchange Of royal "couslniy cour-
,esies There was no noticeable de-
narture from the usual programme OF
such occasions. The two great rulers
went through the uniform masqueraue'
embraced, passed compliments upon each
others look, and drove around TOWN.
together in order that the populace might
have the opportunity to admire them ana
express their approval Of the perform
ance.
The European political wiseacres' now
ever, think they see in the incident
deep significance. At Berlin the impress
sion prevails that William Is trying 10
duce Francis Joseph to join him IN
meeting with the Car for the purpose
OF publicly establishing new peace
league. And in view Of the shittins OF
the attitudes OF the continental powers
toward one another, OF the policy or En-
poror William as developed during the
last few months. and OF hints thrown OUT
by Caprivi, this impression Is entitled
10 more than passing consideration.
Principally through the influence ana
persistence Of william the Russo-German
commercial treaty became an accom-
plished fact, and hardly had the young
| Emperor achieved that victory before
news was received that similar treaty
practically. had been concluded between
I Russia, and Austria Hungary. How lar
the two treaties are TO be associated ana
what hand William had in bringing about
| the latter may, in n measure, be judged
/ from Caprivrs declaration that william
saw farther ahead than the economic
! effect Of the RusSo-German agreement
| and looked forward 70 the possibility OF
the coming century's demanding a coali-
| ton Of the nations OF Europe. When
| Germany's experience with the Zollverein
! "a remembered it will not do to say that
the young Ehmperor's dream is all
dream.
Tho Zollverein of 1919 Is the corner
stone OF the new German empire. Upon
| this stone the structure was slowly but
! surely reared and the new treaty or
| 1861. which constituted such a powerful
| bond Of union between Northern and
Southern Germany. only made it ready TO
receive the Imperial dome. That COM
mcrcial treaties may IN great degree do
| FOR Europe az whole what the Holl-
veren accomplished for Germany is ad-
mitteI, even by the French press. to be
! within the range of probability. Indeed
| La Liberte goes so far in commenting

| William is a man Of much depth or
! thought, and OF far-reaching projects,
and may have scheme which will benefit
| Europe at large. The combined peace
