THE MISUNDERSTANDING MONUMENT

The dedication Of the monument yester-
day al Fredericksburg to the mother Of
George Washington was an event which
fills our people with pardonable pride.
We have a right to be proud Of the fact
that our State furnished to mankind
such a man as George Washington, and it
is no more than natural that we should
exult in the homage paid yesterday by
the highest In the land 10 his mother,
who was at least but one of our typical
matrons. All the proceedings were hon
orable and grateful to Virginia, and the
dedlcatory address delivered by one Of her
favorite sons. Hon. John w. Daniel, was
worthy of the occasion.
Take him all in all, we think George
Washington the most wonderful man that
the world has known. He was great
everywhere-great in the field of battle,
great In council, great in the administra-
Iion of affairs. but nowhere so great as
in the severest test man can know, adj
versity When we consider his heroic and
unyielding struggles against misfortune
every day, the grateful acknowledgment
by his country of his masterful efforts
when he had succeeded. and his absolute
want Of any compensation of any sort
whatever for himself, he presents char
acter of which the world nowhere else
shows a parallel.
We once plodded methodically through
all the four volumes of Chief Justice Mar
shalIs rather dry life of General Wash
ington. and we shall never cease to re-
joice that we did. No one will ever
get true and living picture of the man
and his work without reading this bio
graphy, and whoever does will see the
man in his colossal proportions. We have
seen II stated that the Chief Justice al
ways claimed that his reputation would
finally rest upon this work. We cannot
believe this will happen, but, dry as it is,
Il is a great book.
We repeat that yesterday was day for
pardonable pride in Virginians. 1t called
the worlds attention TO the fact that
Virginia has given to mankind many of its
most notable and brilliant ornaments, and
the soil which has produced this fruit in
the past liz ready TO grow II for the flu
ture as occasion shall call for IT,

has answered. But the proposition Is
that without aid no Industry In this
country is possible. That Is Coxeyisnl.
II is the poison thus sown, thus taught
which has organized these miniature
armies: II is the expectation OF hnding
help. finding protection. finding that the
Government will do something for them.
What is the difference between Coxey-
ism and the protection proposed by the
senator from MassachusettsT The sena-
tor from Massachusetts insists that no
industry can be maintained successfully
without help, without support CoNey
maintains the same doctrine. Commun-
ism is the same In essence. Unless there
can be some assistance given TO the labor
of this country, all labor must langush
and perish, is the logic Of the argument
OF the senator from Massachusetts: I'M
less aid is directed by law. the condi-
ton OF prosperity which the Senator so
eloquently described cannot be main
tanned. II must be assisted. II must be
aided. l repeat, Mr.. President, that that
is Coxeyism.
The senator from Massachusetts comes
In the name of his constituents and de-
mands, what? Protection. the most de-
lusive Of all the terms that have been
employed in our policy. Protection. pro
lection; help, help. help" save me, or
l will perish" is the language Of the
senator from Massachusetts,. Is not
that the language Of others-"Help.
Labor or blood?" That the Government
must furnish days labor to every man
and a days wages TO every man Is the
essence OF protection.

Yesterday about noon three accidents
occurred on Main street. between Eleventh
and Twelfth. within the space or half an
hour The first was 90 a stranger. whose
horse fell and the rider escaped with very
slight injuries
a few minutes thereafter Mrs Walker.
Of Chesterfield. and another lady drove up
the street in n dog cart. When about mid
way Of the square their horse fell ana both
ladies were thrown out Of the vehicle.
The elder one was painfully bruised. She
was taken into the city Bank building
and i'm q short while was able to proceed
on her journey.
In about five minutes after the second
accident. Or. Winn rode down the street.
His horse stumbled and fell In front Of
the State Bank. one Of the Doctors legs
was badly bruised, and he received slight
injuries on one arm. He was not able
to mount his horse again.

he made In the Senate on Wednesday

TO inquire into the Coxey business is a
wicked and wiful perversion of sound

said that while the charge against Coxey.

attack upon them was for their attempt

WHY PURGE

WHY PURCHASE MAHONE'S LOT?
The spectacle Of General Malone hanging
around Congress and lobbying with mem
bers to induce them to vote for bill to
purchase his lot as a site for the Govern
ment Printing Office, is one Of the most
disgusting spectacles that we can imagine.
The special correspondent Of the Balti-
more Sun wrote his paper that he had
been hanging about the corridors of the
House of Representatives for number
of days, and that Representative VIII
liams, Of Illinois, had charged that he
was directing from outside the House
a portion of the discussion on the floor,
and that members had obtained from
him all their information regarding the
availability Of the various sites offered to
the Government and their data as TO
the value Of the different properties.
The question naturally arises, If Gen
Mahone's lot is valuable why should he
so persstently desire to sell it to the
Government? If ii is valuable he can get
its worth from other parties. Why in
sist upon selling to the Government?
The plain reason is that he expects 10
sell 1t to the Government for more than
II is worth-for more than other people
will give for (which would be cheating
the Government. But how can those who
think that the city should pay thousand
dollars for digging a sewer by day labor
that she could have dug by contract for
five hundred dollars, condemn him? This
shows how completely we get lost when
we depart from principle.

the blow aimed at them was do"
aimed at free speech. at the risht Oh iiee
assemblage. Mr. Allen knows perfectly
,.ou that his charge OF the arrest OF
coxev Browne and Jones being reaiiy
because OF their attempt TO exercise the
constitutional right OF peaceable assem-
blage and of free speech on the 'ap''oi
crounds of the nation Is both prepos'ei-
ous and absurd There was law against
,hese or any other men doing what they
were engaged in. and they were arrested
for knowingly violating that law ihere
was not a man concerned in their arrest
who cared one copper whether Coxey
and Browne trod on the grass OF the
Capitol grounds or not II there had Deeh
no law forbIdding II. But the Legislature
of the nation had seen fit 10 make ia"
forbidding It, and it was just as serious
an offence for any citizen OF the Oii'eu
States TO knowingly set that law al de-
eance as Il would have been for MIN
~ set fire 10 the Capitol. Coxey may
think 81 OF no consequence to trample on
the grass Of the Capitol grounds ana
Allen may think so, and we may think
so. but the law-making power thought
otherUIse. and IL chose to forbid 1t. When
Il declared its will in the premises all
men I'm the world must respect that will
while il remains in force. and we could
not maintain our Government an hour
II we allowed any man TO deliberately
set the legislative will, even in this
trivial affair, at defiance All men must
obey the law, whether in small matters
or in great matters, and the entire force
OF the nation must be used to compel
obedience TO the law, even in respect to
preserving the green sward of the Capt.
tol grounds, just as surely as TO prevent
an uprising Of a mob and the destruction
of an hundred millions Of dollars worth
OF property.
II IS. then, a total perversion Of every
thing sound and stable in life for Mr..
Allen to say that forcibly preventing
Coxey and Browne from violating the law

blage on the Capitol grounds, or to in
terfere with them in any way whatever
I'm the right to assemble together and

washington abounds with places where
they could rightfully assemble and de-
liberate, and where no law interferes
with the assemblage. it is in no way
whatever necessary to a free exercise Of
the right of assembage that it shall take
place on the grass Of the Capitol square.
II MIR. Coxey thinks that the only place
where his tramps can deliberate freely,
then he must prove TO Congress that the
law against IL should be repealed. But
whilst that law remains in force Coxey
IS just as much bound to respect 1t az
he is to respect any other Of the Gov
ernments laws. and Allen only makes
himself absurd by undertaking to argue
that compelling Coxey to respect this
law IS any interference whatever with
his constitutional rights.

EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

New York Sun: The relation OF jour
nalism TO politics is too obvious to need
defining, but the precise part played by
newspapers with reference 10 literature
is a matter OF controversy. For an I'M
partial opinion we should naturally turn
TO some one who has a practical ac-
duaintance with both the making OF books
and the making Of newspapers. such
person is Mr.. H. ID. Trail, who has late
ly delivered a lecture on the subject AT
the Royal Institution I'm London Mr..
Trail. who is "A professional journalist
and also en- accomplished man Of letters,
undoubtedly means 10 state the case

parently. that in England newspapers

books and magazines as they are in the
United States.

prised TO hear Mr.. Trail begin with a
definition Of his terms.

police had enforced the regulation pro-

idle for the Senate TO waste time in de-
