The Jnmcstown Excursion, VIA! i'


The celebration which is to take place
at jamestown on the 18th OF May heN''
under the auspices Of the students OF
William and Mary College ard the Asso-
citation for the Preservation Of Virginia
Antiquities, has our best wishes.
With the splendid steamer Pocahontas
plying between Richmond and norfolk
and passing jamestown daily. James
town ought TO be as much visited by
Virginians as Plymouth Rock is by Mas
sachusetts people, while TO the historical
student and antiquarian jamestown
should have greater interest than Ply
mouth, since il was settled seventeen
years before the landing in America OF
the Pilgrim fathers.
Plymouth, however, has the advantage
of being a considerable town, with hotels,
restaurants, bathing beaches. etc, whiie
jamestown is but a country place. There
is no sign of urban life al jamestown.
1t is a lowland plantation, marked only
by the ruins of the tower Of the Colonial
church and the blackened walls OF the
spacious old mansion, which only few
weeks ago fell prey TO an accidental
fire. But the memories that cluster about
the place, especially about the church
tower are very precious. and at this
season Of the year the island Is full Of
leaf and blossom. bloom and beauty.
The jamestown plantation, where Vir-
ginia's first capital was, has had an
eventful history from the year 1907. when
our English forefathers landed there TO
this day. Every mention of il brings up
memories Of Captain John Smith and Po-
cahontas, and Of Nathaniel Bacon, 'the
rebel (who destroyed the town, and OF
incidents of the war Of our times.
The present owner OF jamestown is
Mr. L. l.. Barney. formerly of Ohio,
who has spent a great deal OF money
there building a new wharf. draining the
lands, boring an artesian well, etc.
Twenty-Five acres of land surround
ing the church tower have been decided by
Mrs Barney to the Association for the
Preservation OF Virginia Antiquities;
grand gift. Upon the petition of this
association, and largely through the per-
sonal efforts of the wife OF the Hon. j.
l.. NJ. Curry. Congress at its last ses-
sion made an appropriation to prevent
| the farther incurson of the river on that
portion of the island near the church
| tower, and this work is now in progress.
The facilities for reaching jamestown
| from Richmond and Norfolk and inter-
mediate points are now greater than ever
| before. The island Is in better hands
| than ii has been for a long time, for,
| though Mr.. Barney lives at another farm
1 of his higher up the river, he gives TO
| jamestown his personal attention, and
the landing there is excellent And finNl-
| ly the Association for the Preservation
| Of Virginia Antiquities have assumed the
J sacred duty of caring for the old church
tower. the tombs, etc. So. at this day,
| when there is much interest felt in Co
lonial things we should think that the
public would find jamestown a delight
full place to visit. especially on each 18th
CT May-the anniversary of the landing
Of the English there in 1901.

Moderu Giants.

MANCHESTER, VA. April 20, 1855.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
I saw in the Dispatch OF Friday. the
10Th instant short paragraph, headed.
"There Are Giants in These Days Ac-
cording to the Philadelphia Times, there
is on exhibition in that city one Colonel
Cooper. who Is feet 10lz inches in height.
This. you say. IS fourteen inches taller
than Herr Winkleman, the tallest man
ever seen on exhibition up 10 the dis
coyery OF Colonel Cooper
Now, let me tell you about J. Bihin, the
French giant. who was also called "col-
onel" This Colonel Bihin was travelling
with a show, which stopped at Jarratt's
Hotel, in Petersburg, Va. in 1869, where
| was living at the time. While / did
not attend the show. and do not know
what the show-people had to say about
the giant, this l do know-that | became
about as we'll acquainted with him as
hotel employees generally do with the
guests. The giant told me that he was
3 feet / inch in height. He also pre-
scented me with his photograph with au-
tograph attached), taken in n coloners
uniform. which | now have in my album.
Did he impose upon me- as TO his height?

Silver Talk.

Ex-President Harrison is spoken OF by
his friends as the only man who could
command the solid vote of the Republi-
cans-silver Republicans and all others.
The Washington correspondent OF the
Baltimore Sun writes as follows:
1.-THE emphatic declaration OF Senator
Faulkner against the ill-advised proposal
to hold a convention in West Virginia
to consider the silver question, is heartily
endorsed by other prominent Democrats
of the State. Captain John Sheridan. ma
tional committeeman OF West Virginia,
was in Washington to-day. and had no
hesitation in declaring his opposition to
the proposed convention. He thinks IL
would be mistake politically. and could
do nothing to aid the cause Of silver.
That the silver question is rapidly be-
coming the paramount issue In the field
of politics there can no longer be doubt.
and its probable effect upon both OF the
older parties is a matter that is causing
no little uneasiness among the leaders In
the various States"

The Question IN tn Time.

IiCanOk1 Evening Nor'oJ
Some Of our contemporaries evidently
have not read the section of the Constitu-
ton OF Virginia which prescribes the man
nor In which the fundamental law may
be revised and amended The only que5-
ton that H. now being raised as to the
holding OF a constitutional convention is
the appropriateness % the time. If every
body could agree that there is no posi-
ollity OF n convention tsing contro iei
by an Objectionable element. the sentl-
mert in favor Of convention would pc
practically unanimous.
It would be futile 70 deny that the po-
litical condition is decidedly unsettled ana
disturbed IN Virginia. as in the entire
country, but there are many Democrats
VINO believe that the party would DE
strengthened and the atmosphere OF state
politics clarified If the party would take
a bold stand for those reforms In the
state government the need Of which IS
SO nllpaby apparent
Article MI. section ., of the Constitu-
ton. reads AT the general election to
be held In THE year lsSs. and in each
twentieth year "a reaftcr, and also At
such times as the General Assembly may

be n convention to revise the Constitution

If this section Of the Constitution means

question as to whether there shall be a
convention 10 the vote Of the psoplc. II
the vote should be favorable. the Legis-
lature 10 BE- elected I'm 1891 would provide
for the convention, fixing the TIM and
place OF It's meeting and the manner in
which It's members should be elected. IL
g. apparent that we cannot have a con-
vcntion earlier than 1898 and 1899 II the
matter is pushed with all possible speed.
We cannot. of course. tell whether the
political conditions will improve or grow
worse by that time. and we can never tell
what three years I'm the future contain
for the politics OF the state. AS some OF
our contemporaries. have forcibly said,
there Is danger that the condition win
grow worse If this matter is treated
lightly by the party and postponed for n
more favorable opportunity. The question
as TO time seems to have been rails
without good reason.

There are many people who seem to
have n great reluctance to touch The
bandiwork of UNDERWOOD and company
but soon something must be done Just
now when times are so hard and farm
products are so low, any suggestion as
TO increasing the tax-rate would be re-
ceiyed with universal dsapproval. On
the other hand, IL Is easy enough 10 talk
about cutting down county expenses.
but whoever undertakes TO do 1t viii
find It fearfuly hard job. Here In Rich
mond, where it is perfectly plain
that we are living beyond our annual
income, a report of the Committee on
Retrenchment and Reform was utterly
overwhelmed by a combination Of forces
against II.
Generally speaking. we doubt not thai
the people of Virginia would be glad
enough to commit this great economical
question to convention or TO Legisla-
ture, or to anything or any body who
would relieve them of the dlsagreeable
job. So we expect TO see n good many
counties following the example Of Char
lottes. and calling for convention %
pull them out of the hole that they ara
now in
Nevertheless. urgent as the necessity
is becoming for a cheaper government
we are not prepared to commit ourselves
TO date for a vote on convention un
I'll we have seen the results Of the May
and November elections. We have seen
one mongrel convention, constitutions
making for Virginia, and We don't want
10 see another. Hence, We would have
our people keep the convention always
in mind. but not order it until the coast
seems CLEAR"

warinC and the q. A. II.

Ten thousand Grand Army OF the Re-
public tongues and pens are siashing at
Colonel George Z. Waring. Jr. on ac-
count of his recent remarks about the
deeeneracy Of the Grand Army into PEN
sion-bummers. Waring, 1t happens hoias
the lucrative position of Street-CIeanins
Commissioner Of New York, ana the en-
flading fire that he is receiving makes
his positlon very uncomfortable, but as
vet he has retracted nothing. lie believes
that he has told nothing but the truth,
and this he is sticking to manfully.
To General Coils. who sent Waring an
abusive letter, Waring has replied, de-
claring that 'the amending crime OF the
Grand Army of the Republic organiza-
tion--that which makes its benefactions
seem instantaneous been the destruc-
ton of the sense OF duty and OF the spirit
of patriotism, and the substitution Tor
these manly motives of mere cash con-
sideration." And then the indignant
Warning goes on TO say that "henceforth
windy clamor must take the place OF
noble incentive, and the nations gratitude
can be expressed only in dollars and
cents. as it is now expressed in the mil
lions paid TO unworthy veterans. who
have been hunted up and seduced by the
claim-agents. and. what Is even worse
have been coddled. pauperized, and emas-
culated by the Grand Army Of the Re-
public
Congressman Jones, of Virginia, would
have had valuable assistance In fighting
fraudulent pension bills If Colonel Warning,
himself Union veteran. could have been
sentatives. AS 1t is, Waring Is deter
mined that as long as he holds his pres
ent Office (Which, We think. won't be a
great while). the Grand Army OF the
Republic Posts shall not foist so-calied
veterans upon him. waring declares
that these alleged veterans won't work.
and can't be dismissed without great
outcry being made In relation thereto.
Mayor Strong. whose appointee WariDg
is, Is quoted as saying that Warnings ut
terances have been Every injudicious. I"
From the standpoint Of the oiiice-holder
and saiary-drawer. they doubtless are. but
they are true. At this very moment.
thirty years after the close OF the war.
the list Of Union pensioners Is larger than
the Confederate army ever was. and II
the Grand Army OF the Rerublic could
have its way. thousands OF new names
would be added to the pension rolls every
