This recalls the performance OF men,
ber of the Richmond bar I'm the same
tribunal on one occasion. He had very
,mnortant cause before the court which
he had moved the court 10 take up out
NJ ifs order on the docket. When MS
motion papers were handed UP to the
Judges he saw one OF them Of whom ne
was a close friend nod his head III
seeming dsapproval. he felt sure this
was an indication that there was some
thing wrong about them. Soon TINS
iusticc left the bench and marched off
with his robes on through the mario"
passage at the rear OF the bench, which
is separated from the open courtroom by
q railing. The lawyer feared the justice
would disappear in the recesses Of the
immense building, and that he wouiu
not be able to see him again before ne
left the city, whence he was compelled TO
90 by the next train. He endeavored TO
follow the Justice, but was met by the
railing. without a moments hesitation
he put his hands on it and sprang over
IL In full view OF court and bar and fol-
lowed the justice out. The dignitary was
utterly astounded at what had happen
ed, and as soon as they were out OF the
hearing Of the court he said How could
you have done such thing? If Justice
Cray had seen you jump that railing he
would have had you before the court for
contempt" The lawyer hastily explain
ed the necessity Of his situation, was
pardoned. and the justice poin ed out
to him 4 matter wherein ne had failed
10 comply with the rule Of the court
respecting motions TO advance causes; the
defect was cured. and the lawyer got
lis case advanc ed and won it, Upon the
Justice again remarking that II Gray saw
the act he would certainly have the
lawyer before the court, he told him to
tell Gray, If he referred to it, that he
learned the trick of chasing Yankees dur
ing the war.

Royalty.

Some say that Shakespeare meant, by
his historic plays. TO show to the world
kings and grandees exactly as they
were. and so prepare the people TO get
rid Of them: to throw them off, as the
old clothes Of advancing civilization.
Whether he meant it or not, he helped
to that end. And as soon as men had
chewed. swallowed, and digested his
teachings. and were well lit up with
their lights, there came wondrous re-
suits: Old fashioned monarchy had its
head cut off: and civil liberty took the
sceptre of power in the person Of Oliver
Cromwell
At the first, a king was a man who
was head man for strength of body and
mind: who by his courage wisdom, force
Of character and power. compelled ODE
dience to his will. From his person au-
thorty emanated In charging circles. and
overcame the whole people AS such a
centre, kinghood or royalty meant the
highest possible excellence. When man.
hood began to assert itself among the
people. and the peasant TO venerate him
self as man. and government to be under
stood as the embodiment Of law and
order. the personality Of the king be-
came less and less regarded: and the
king almost mere point in government
around which the whole system revolved.
So the Office Of king, as the pivot
or government, was the apex and most
honorable. The Crown Imperial. the
jeweled sceptre. and the costly robe
were meant to impress the people with the
beauty and glory and majesty OF law.
and make them honor wisdom and
justice. So 1t is that royalty represents
and means what is honorable. The En-
glish people have. perhaps more than
any other people. honored the attributes
OF the king. and honored with profound
respect the monarch because OF the dig
nifty OF his Office. And when the per-
sonal iowness OF the man degraded the
Idea OF royalty he has had to give place.
while the abstract light OF government
has found another candlestck.
80 IL is that royalty, rs the height

honorable idea: and Royal IL the high

MR.. CLEvEIA~D's OPPORTUNITY.

The special correspondent OF the New
York Journal of Commerce at Washing
ton is one of the best-informed journalists
OF the country on politico-economic ques-
tions. He writes his paper that there are
Indications that Mr.. Cleveland is walk
ing up TO the necessity of action by him
I'm regard 10 currency legislation, and that
1t is probable he will send a special mes
sage TO Congress on the subject. This
correspondent says he has stated recently
that ne would like to see the Government
go out of the banking business and an
elastic currency supplied to the people
under proper system of private bank
ing. and. II the President really said this,
his head is as sound on paper currency
as It is regarding metallic money.
The same correspondent also says mat
the discussion Of the seigniorage bill de-
veloped a marked increase In Congress
OF the opinion that the Southern States
were entitled TO broader and more lib
erai banking system than is now fur
nished by the national bank law. and
opinion was strongly directed by it 70
the conclusion that such a system would
do more to end the South's clamor for
free silver than anything else that could
occur.
We are much disposed 10 give credit
TO all these statements. first. on account
OF the source from which they emanate,
and second. because they contain more
sound sense than anything of a public
nature that we have seen for long
time.
This correspondent believes, however.
that no State banking system will be
provided for that does not retain for II
q supervision by the United States, with
guarantees demanded by Congress for
the soundness OF note issues. and 1t Is
just at this point that we fear for the
practical utility Of any act that may be
passed. and II is In respect TO this point
that we want to offer Mr.. Cleveland some
suggestions for consideration when he
prepares his special message.

NO MIXTURE OF RELIGION AND
POLITICS..

POLiiJCN
In conversation with a reporter of the
Washington Post, a day or so back,
Mr. Head, a member of Congress from
Missouri. who has just returned from
a visit to his constituency. said that
the most serious development in his sec
ton is the combination Of religion and
politics. which is being agitated by the
A. p. A., the anti-Catholic organization,
which. he says. is spreading, and is like
~ TO cause even more serious friction
than has already been occasioned.
This is Of piece with the movement
that the country has recently heard a
good deal Otto amend the Constitution
of the United States, so as to cause 1t
to make proper acknowledgement to the
everlasting God of our dependency upon
hir1.
The whole business Is wrongly conceiv-
Cd our religious and our civil institu-
lions should be kept wholly separated and
aplrt. They cannot be combined without
the most serious peril to both. When
Church and state were one, civil liberty
was extinguished, and the Church was
brough. down to the lowest depths Of
DEGRADATION and contempt. When Mr..
Jefferson wrote Virginia's statute Of re-
liyious freedom, he placed IN imperish-
able words the true idea of this subject.
ana our people cannot too often read
over and study the opening scn:erCe5 Of
that beautiful and Gand composition.
which begins thus:
Whereas Almighty God has created the
| mind free that all attempts to influence
IT by temporal punishment, or burihens,
or by civil Interpretations. tend only 10
beget habits Of hypocrisy and meanness,
and are a departure from the plan of
| the HCly Author Of our religion. who.
! being Lord both OF body and mind, yet
chose not to propagate 1t by coercions on
! either, as was in his Almighty power TO
] do; that the mpious presumption Of
l.. Pislatl Is ana ralers, civil a5 well as
ecclesiastical, who. being themselves but
f6Itls and uninspired men. Rave as
eIm,d dominion over the fai Il OF others
s Tim up their own q itions ~ Il modes
of thinking as the only true and infal-
| lible and as such. cndeavorlng 10 i'm
and maintained false religions over the
| greatest part of the world, and through
all time"
And, after going on enlarging upon the
theme considerably, 1t closes with this
solemn legislative enactment:
"Be II enacted by the General Assem-
/ bly,. That no man shall be compelled TO
! frequent or support any religious wor-
/ ship place. or ministry whatsoever, nor
shall he be enforced restrained molest-
| ed or burthencd. l.. his body or gocds;
nor shall lie otherwise suffer on account
| Of his religious opinions or belief; hut
thas all men shall be free to p.of,ss. ana.
by argument. to maintain their opinions
| IN matters of religion. and that the same
/ shall In no wise diminish. enlarge. or
AFFECT their civil capacities"
And the act then declares that the
rig1:s therein recited are Of the ns tural
rights Of mankind. and that no statute or
law can be adopted to abridge these
rights without an infringement Of natural
rights.
This s the true doctrine on this sub
ject, and we hope that there will never
be any departure from It in these United
| States.

EDITORIAL COMMENTS.


New York Times: In matters religious,
social, and political 1t is always impor-
tant to know ones friends. Just where
TO place Senator Hill, of New York, In
respect to measures and policies approx
cd by his party has been a matter OF
doubt among the Democratic leaders at
washington. There may still be doubt
as 10 MIR. Hills attitude in respect to
the Yellowstone Park or the rebuilding
Of the Kearsarge. But the senior senator
from New York has made 1t very clear
that he opposes his party In respect TO
the Wilson bill Mr.. Hill has apparently
made common cause with Senator Chan
der and other Republican guerrillas In
an effort to defeat tariff legislation.
New York Sun: Sylvanus F. Bill. the
poet Of the Auditorium, was at the opera
again on wednesday night and he was
full of poetry. We must warn him. how
ever, against tendency to Swim
burneisms. For instance:
Fast following in the fateful wake"
THE weird surroundings and the sad
ness that clings to the restless rover
OF the sea"
''Tancied fallacies OF contemporary COM
position"
"a symphony set to song"
And what does Mr.. BIZ mean by
saying that there were many there Din
the Auditorium who came simply to
hear music. and showed It in their at
tlre?" How do you show in your attire,
music. or a desire to hear music? We
know how Mr.. BIZ does it. His counte-
nance is a fugIe. and he wears 4 white
samite robe embroidered with golden
lutes and Cecilias. and there's a blue
bell over his left ear. HIS sandals are
music boxes, and he has rebec IN his
right hand and q silver plectrum In
his left, and a Jews harp fills the melo-
di0us interspaces of his lips. But how
can a plain Chicago man IN the canned
hog product business show music in his
attire?
New York World Mr.. Cleveland is
doing good work for pension reform, but
ne can do better. He ought TO orlnB
pension payments down to SlN,DoW
year regardless Of the noise and claInor
Of the benefclares of fraud.
New York Herald Mr.. s.. Gaudens
was commissioned to design a medal for
the Chicago Worlds Fair awards. On
one side OF the medal he placed the
relief Of a nude male figure, which sever
al worthy senators objected to as being
indecent. Secretay Carlisle saw it and
was disguised. Mr. Breckenridge saw II
and blushed Nj. Cleveland saw If and
he passed the criticism that the figure
looked as e it had 4 lame leg and the
leg had been badly set.
Mr.. st. Gaudens has done some beau
tiful. artistic work In his day. He made
the Diana that used to whirl round on
the tower of Madison Square Garden
untM Chicago took pity on MS. Mr.. ST.
Gaudens believes that I'm his medal ne
has made a classic work Of art. Common
sense says it is indecent. Mr. ST. eau
dens has evidently much TO learn about
the glory of his profession.
II Mr.. St. Gaudens refuses TO remodel
the medal, then give it to some American
artist who has sense Of decorum, who
knows the American public, and who will
not faunt his idiosyncracies and artistic
improprieties before the public.

history Of the United States by Mrs.
Susan 2. Lee. The mem ,irs OF her father,
William Nelson Pendleton, u. D.. com
mander Of the artillery Of the Army Of
Northern Virginia have already shown
US Mrs Lees delightful style Of writing
and her method of careful and patient
research. / have had the privilege OF
reading the manuscript Of her history,
which has been completed TO cover the
period from the planting Of the colonies
TO the beginning Of the war between
the States. In this new volume, Mrs Lee
shows the same vigor and clearness OF
style as in the biography mentioned
above. Her labor and care I'm seeking
the necessary data have been arduous
and wide-reaching. The salient points
I'm each period Of the story OF our coun-
try have been set forth in such simple
graphic manner as TO catch and hold
the attention OF the young student. Mrs
Lee is herself a teacher of great sue
cess. and she here shows her capacity to
prepare a textbook. which seems TO me
sdmirably adapted for use IN the school
room.
The history thus far written Is not
a sectional book. 1t is fair and just to
the North as well as to the South. All
the authorities have been consulted. and
an impartial view has been given Of the
life OF the entire nation and OF the
establishment and the growth OF the In
stitutions Of our whole country.
