THE RICHMOND DISPATCH-TUESDAY, MARCH ri 1894

omission and commission charged up
against the present Congress has struck
the sober-sided. ievel-headed business
sentiment OF the country with so much
surprise. and this sentiment In almost
always right and reliable In Its judgment,
az the deliberate and persistent neglect
OF the House OF Representatives TO confer
upon the Secretary Of the Treasury the
authority to borrow money for the uses
OF the government"
Mr.. Carlisle was reduced to such
strait that he was on one occasion COM
PEELED TO change his mind as TO his pow
err. At any rate. he was charged with
inconsistency In the matter. We would
not have the Secretary OF the Treasury
authorized TO borrow money and appro-
pirate II TO whatever purposes he might
choose to devote II TO: but we would
have him clothed with authority to keep
the credit of the government up to the
high-water mark OF that OF the foremost
nation OF the world.

CAYLY DECORATED CHURCHES.
A Scared Thief Departs Empty Handed
Personal and social Notes.

WILSON. y. c., March G-(SpeciaL)-
Easter was duly observed here. All the
churches were gayly decorated with ever
greens ard floral offerings. Notwith-
standing the day being a very disagree
able one. rain falling in torrents, quite a
number Of worshlppers assembled at each

the home pastors.

II. W. H1rgrIve's drugstore Saturday
night. -. Hlargraye found the back

Stand by the Government.

We consider 1t the bounden duty Of
Congress 10 provide at all times, and al
ways in advance for supplying the
Secretary OF the Treasury with money,
either by coming 1t or otherwise. TO
carry on the government. The loss which
the government would sustain as con-
sequence OF the Secretary's inability to
borrow money for the purpose indicated,
could only be measured by the innumera-
BILE evils and unavoidable losses which
all businessmen. all bankers. all farm
ers. all mechanics. and even all laboring
men would necessarily sustain as con-
sequence of depleted Treasury which
the Secretary had no power to nj.
On this point the Washington Post has
long article. from which we take the
following paragraph:
Nothing, perhaps. Ia all the sins Of

Gladstone and RoseberY.

When Gladstone resigned it was broadly
limited in certain quarters that Rosebery
was not his choice for the succession to
the premiership. and that the grand old
man was forced out Of Office by
combination Of circumstances. Also.
that he was the victim of his
own vanity, as he expected his party
would beg him to reconsider The de-
velopments Of last week would seem to
indicate that these hints were made upon
q substantial basis Of fact. 1t Is noticed
that in Mr.. Gladstones letter of Thurs
day 10 his Midlothian constituents he
said not a word about the new Premier.
Furthermore it is reported that II the
operation upon his eyes proves successful!
he will lead another campaign.

A BIC LAND CASE IN KENTUCKY

A BIG LAND CASE IN KENTUCKY
In the early fall suit will be filed by
the heirs of Col. Fielding Lewis to re-
cover 10000 acr>s in Henry county, the
total value Of which amounts to $1,000
600. The suit will be filed in the q. S.
Court. The title claimed by the Lewis
heirs dates back to l77S, when General
George Washington and his brother
in-law, Col. Fielding Lewis, laid claim
to vast tracts of land in the western
part of Virginia, which afterward be
came the State of Kentucky. Colonel
Lewis's share amounted to 3d. acres.
A portion of the tract is included in
the city limits OF Bowling Green. Col.
Lewis willed it to his six sons, who
neglected 10 enforce the title. Later,
in 1926, suit was brought to enforce
possession, and the Lewises won, but
the occupants of the land were never
dispossessed. Eminent lawyers have
been retained. who assure the heirs
that they are confident of success (the
statute of Limitation does not debar IN
this case), but they expect long and
determined fight before those who are
now in possession can be dispossessed.
Mr.. r. Byrd Lewis, of this city, is
among the nearest relatives of Colonel
Fielding Lewis, his father, Judge Lew
is. being great grandson of Colonel
Lewis and Betty Washington Hush
