Commenting lately upon the fact that
the Constitution Of Connecticut had Deeh
amended so as TO give the Commonwealth
the right Of appeal in certain criminal
cases. the Dispatch said that that was
'too radical for ~Virginians,' much as
they desired 70 see their criminal pro-
cedure improved. No, we don't ask that;
but we do ask tina. there shall not be as
many appeals as are now allowed IN the
matter Of capital cases tried in the coun-
~ courts.

Wife OF Widow P

The New York Sun. which claims TO
''shine for ALL" gave out a light that
could not be relied upon 10 enlighten the
darkness that prevails anywhere when 1t
said. the other day. that MIR. Jones. OF
Virginia. opposed granting a pension to
the widow Of General John A.. McCler-
nand.
General McClernand Is still living.
Long may he continue TO live. He was
a Democratic leader In the House OF Re
personalities forty-four years ago. and Is
capable OF being a Democratic leader
now.
Nevertheless. the discussion In the
House OF Representatives the other day
clearly developed the fact that there are
congressman who do not know the differ
ence between a wife and a widow. Read
the Record OF Saturday last:
Mr.. HAINES: I do not know whether
this pension is asked for the General or
for his widow.
Mr.. CARUTH: Oh. no: this Is for the
General himself.
Mr.. HAINES: The General Is not dead?
Mr.. CARUTH: A living man cannot
have a widow.

Tho Apple-Tree Of Appomattox.

One of the war actions that will not
down is that Lee surrendered 10 Grant
under an apple-tree. The "Apple-tree or
Appomat;ox" blooms perennlally in news
paper literature. 1t can't be killed. Eros,

IL out" have failed. II Is proof against
winds n weather OF denial and denun-
clatlon. The axe has been laid at It's
roots by many historians, but the tree
shoots up again. instanter.
The terms OF surrender were arranged
at the house OF Mr.. McLean-a gentleman
who having been driven away by battle
from his farm at Manassas. sought refuge
on another farm OF his in secluded APP
pomaitox county.
In his house Lee and Grant met. There
they happily arranged the terms OF sur
render OF the Army Of Northern Virginia
in a correspondence OF wonderful brevity
and clearncss. A deed drawn In the
usual form conveying an acre OF Apo
mattox land worth 500 would have hau
more words In 80 than Lee ana Grant
,,.ed 70 dispose OF the lives n fortunes
OF thousands OF men.
But there certainly was an appie-tree
at Appomattox. and It was incidentally
connected with the surrender. Benea'h

h Sort of Bills Mr.. Jones Opposes

In his late speech in the House OF
Representatives. Mr.. Jones. OF Virginia
explained his position in regard TO pension
bills-as follows:
Il have never heard that General Nc
Clernand suffered from wounds. | have
never heard that he had any disability
from which he suffered. Here is a gentle
man who is not as needy as thousands
of others equally as deserving. and yet
we are asked to give him 500 a month.
Il am opposed 10 this class of cases,
am opposed to repensioning widows who
have voluntarily surrendered their pen
sions TO form new matrimonial connec'
tons.
Il am opposed TO removing the charge
Of desertion standing against a desertcr
solely upon the testimony of the de-
serter himself. given thirty years after
the war. when the military finding Is
against him"
In these cases Mr.. Jones says he is
bound to act up to his convictions.
We call the attention Of the Brooklyn
Times to the above extract from Mr..
Jones's late speech. That paper seems to
regard him as an unrecOnstructed rebel
figuring in the hall OF the House OF Rep
resentatives.

The Man That OPENS the Front Door

The most unpopular individual In the
city at the present writing Is the one
who persists in entering the street-car
by the front door.-Washington Post.
Why? Because both doors are thus
opened at the same time. and an intol-
erably strong current OF cold wine passes
through the car. To open one door is
what must be done. but thai creates no
draft.
But we suspect that the conductor Is
still more unpopular who opens the front
door whilst the rear door is open. and
stands in the former talking to the
motorman under the impression that the
wind cannot pass by him.
