Christmas Turkey for the Poor.

Christmas is nearing. You are already
laying in supplies and looking out for pres
tnts for your own dear ones. But think,
can you have a happy Christmas when
You know that around you are people suf-
fering for the necessaries OF life? No. you
ran not. Then won't you send Christmas
turkey. or some more suitable present. TO
some needy neighbor Of yours? And won't
you join In public movement TO provide
for those who might otherwise be unpro-
sided for?
There are many worthy unemployed
poor in this city. and In all the other
titles OF this country. There are hundreds
of men and women who would like to
earn dollar or two. but can't get the
chance. These people will have but a
sorry Christmas II persons OF means do
not open their purses and afford them re-
lief. The cry for help is already heard.
and those who would give II need not
wait until Christmas before so doing.
These are things for kind-hearted people
TO consider; not only TO consider but TO
take action on. Share your blessings with
the poor.

Raal Ballot Reform.

The Staunton Vindlcator states that
West Virginia has an election-law model
led on the Australian system. but with
out special constables, and 1t does not see
why We cannot have similar law. But
according 10 the Vindicator "a sample
ballot" is published in the newspapers for
four weeks, and this publication. we sup
pose, enables the illiterate voter TO come
to the polls posted" as to which names
TO mark, or not 10 mark.
The Vindicator asks the Dispatch to
look further into the matter Of abolshing
the constables provided for by the Walton
law. And so we will. But couldn't con-
stitutional convention dispose of the suf-
frage question far more satisfactorily
than the General Assembly?
The day OF make-shifts has well-nigh
passed. The time is nearing when We
must settle this question for good and
all--when we must have real ballot re-
form. We don't want TO be mulish; We
don't want TO declare against the posi-
billy OF relief from legislative action,
but really II seems to US that we have
either got TO stick to the main features OF
tho Walton law or send the problem to
constitutional convention for solution.

Failed to Ciose the Bar-Rooms.

LIVINGSTON. VA. December i.-(Spe-
cial.)-An interesting case was tried In
the County Court this week. The cir
cumstances were as follows. About three
months ago the bar-room at Lovlngston
was closed UP under the preaching Of
Evangelist J. w. Lee The only liquor
saloons left In the vicinity were those
of C. a. Wood and J. X. Jones. at Mon
treal, and the Evangelist preached at the
Methodist church at Montreal for several
days but, although a great impression
was made on the two bar-room- keepers.
the saloons are still open. The good
people of the community have been on
the lockout ever since. and recently
charge of selling liquor on Sunday and
to minors was brought against Wood.
Much disappointment was felt when the
latter charge was dismissed and the
trial OF the former continued until the
February court
Mr.. Clifford Cabell and Mr.. Charles
Palmer, of Wingina. were out with their
hounds three times last week. and caught
two veteran gray foxes.
The Blue Ridge Hunting Association
have returned from weeks hunt in
buckingham. The association consists OF
n number Of ardent sportsmen. They had
fairly good luck. killing fifteen deer and
a quantity of small game.

Colonel Cowardin at Atlanta.

The Atlanta Constitution. in It's report
OF banquet given by the directors OF the
Exposition to southern editors, says:
The first speaker called on to speak was
Colonel Charles Oh. Cowardln, the
well-known and inimitable editor OF the
Richmond Dispatch.
Colonel Cowardln is one Of those fellows
who can speak under all difficulties. and
under such pleasing conditions as last
night surrounded him. az he was az bright
"a u silver dollar and az happy as a
big May moon.
He was received with cheers. and spoke
at length about the Exposition and its
purpose. He said il did seem TO him that
Atlanta would never get tired. She had
been taking up some new movement ever
since he had heard Of her, and each
one of them was a success. He recalled
that Atlanta people were always together,
and were very proud Of their town,
which reminded him Of the Joke OF the
French chef, Sp!ro Zetelle. who lived In
Richmond, and who became very much
attached TO the town. Once. when he was
offered handsome salary to 80 TO Chica-
20. he looked up. ana said: do you see
Eat leetle star up dere? Veil. I'd rather
see zat one leetle star ont o. Richmond
IAN ter see n whole aurora borealis from

So II was with Atlanta and AtlantanA
said Mr.. Cowardin. He assured the pro-
moters Of the exposition that there was
moth ng too good for the editor OF the
Richmond Dispatch 10 do for the welfare
OF the undertaking..

OKLAHOMA.

Louis Republic in commenting upon the
report of the Dawes Commission. THE
commission has reached the only conclu-
sion possible to unprejudiced investi-
gators" What will result II this conclu-
sion 10 reached by the government Our
ST. Louis contemporary says that as for
the Indian he cannot but improve by
contact with better class Of whites than
have ever found their way in any con-
siderable number into the Territory, and
as for the whites the possession of that
country means increased opportunities
for development larger fields Of activity.
and the upbuilding of commerce and every
form of human industry. We quote:
For st. Louis 1t will mean n new ard
growing commercial empire. For the gov
eminent II will mean another State. And
for the wanderers in the wildernesses OF
drought and scent cotton II will mean
a new Canaan"
These be tempting words. The admis-
sion Of a new State is what they mean.
The republic has persisted for months
past that the time has come for the end
ing of Indian autonomy and the merging
of the Five Tribes in the new State Of
Oklahoma.
AS a rule. we favor the admission Of all
Territories having population enough TO
entltle them TO como In. We will look
into this Oklahoma matter.

Judging by the editorial expressions OF

taken in the direction Of eliminating the

We think the latter course the wiser
one OF the two. The other course would
be a very radical one for any Generai
Assembly to adopt; besides. we much
doubt II the walton law would stand the
test OF the courts with the constable

Gently approving notices of The Life Of
General Winfield Scott by General Mar
Gus j. Wright, who was a Confederate
officer of distinction and who Is now en-
gagged In compiling the war records Of
the Confederacy for the United States
Government. II Is valuable book.
Really it is the only authentic life OF
Scott ever written.
Scott was undoubtedly great soldier.
His campaigns are worthy Of study and
his was a picturesque figure in our pub
lie affairs for well-nigh a half century.
He was an aged man when the late war
began, and he chose to support the Union
cause; but the northern war party dis
trusted him and his name became objec-
tionable to southerners. He died under
that sort OF cloud.
General Wright is q Iaborious. palms.
taking. and conscientious student OF his
tory. and has seized and used with
ability the great facts in SCOTS history.
and out OF them has made a book which
is OF lasting value. We are glad 10 see

mu,dsrs IN niohnond.

Some newspaper comment has been in'
dulred in 10 the effect that jurfes that
will nnd Q verdict OF murder IN the nrss
degree have 10 be summoned from locaii-
ties beyond the limits Of Richmond. CON-
ment might also be made on the fse'
that In most Of such cases the muroefsrs
and murdered persons came to Richmond
from other parts OF THIS state.
Take the Jeter Phillips case for ex-
amplA He was . resident OF Henrico.
and his wife (from whom he had been
sometime separated was O resident OF
Essex. The murder was committed In
Henrco. Phillips was tried In Richmond
because the county seat OF Henrico IL
in Richmond. THE sessions OF the Circuit
Court lover which Judge Joseph Chris
tan prssideD were held In the Hall OF
the House Of Delegates because there was
lack Of room in the county courthouse.
Poindexter and Curtis were both resi-
dents OF Richmond: but in the far more
celebrated Ciuverius case neither Cluve-
RUS nor Lillian Madison was q Rich
monder. Cluverius and Lillian Madison
were both residents of King and Queen
county, but. for some time previous to
the murder. Lillian had been teaching
school In Bath county. The two met by
appointment In the city Of Richmond
1ust as Jeter Phillips and his wife had
Gone long before.
Now comes the McNamee-Atweli case.
Neither Of these was resident Of Rich
mond. Both were citizens Of Manchester.
and in that respectable and well-ordered
city the trouble which led to the fatal
meeting arose. Atwoll was employed at
the York-River railroad yard as con-
ductor. and thither McNamee went on
December 20, 1893. to seek him and there
found him, and there put two bullets in
Atwelrs back as Atwell was running from
him. Nor Is Gaul (who. according to
pne witness. held Atweu whilst Nc
Nance beat him with a sticlx) a Rich
monder. His home was in Henrco
county.
Let these facts be considered for what
they are worth.
Our city and county people are great
newspaper-readers. and are prompt to
come to conclusions. and. as a conse-
auenee. most OF them disqualified them
selves as Jurors in the Phillips. Poindex-
ter. and Cluverius cases. and competent
Jurors had TO be drawn from other locall-
ties to try these accused. Had the Nc
Nance case been tried soon after the
murder occurred, we doubt II a Jury
could have been obtained in Richmond:
but the trial was postponed many times
and the righteous indignation OF the pub
lie had died out to a great extent. So u
Richmond jury found It possible to agree.
upon verdict. fixing Eve years in the
penitentiary az the proper term of i'm
prisonment for McEamse's killing OF
man who was In full flight from him
at the time Of the shooting We have
heard no one here complain of the YER
dict of the Danville jury as excessive or
unjust. This fact carries its own COM
ment with It, And yet, we must add.
the jurors who tried McNames are not
accused OF anything worse than mis-
placed sympathy and excess OF leniency.
No charge is made against their honesty,
but their judgment is severely attacked.
