ANOTHER ARGUMENT AGAINST

To the Editor of The Times:
Sir.-As one OF the Committees of Vet
Grams and Sons of Veterans who ap-
peared before the City School Board last
evening to urge upon them the grounds
We hold for wishing the removal OF
Barnes Brief History OF the United
States from the list of histories TO be
used in our public schools. / ask space
to express more fully our reasons for
wishing to attain that end.
We showed. By reference TO a number
OF pages in that book tnat,as record OF
events which transpired from lS6l 10
1865. II abOunded throughout its record
OF that eyentful period with omissions
Of important events. with false state
ments about many great events. and
with many garbled mixtures Of truth
and falsehood, so arranged as to adapt
il to the standpoint OF the Union.' as
stated in the preface Of the book.
confess that such a record is very OBJ
iectionable, but ii is not the most
important objection to such a book for
forming and fxiIg permanently In the
minds Of our Southern youth an intelli-
gent understanding Of the great events
thai transpired during that period. Ihcy
can learn and remember the truth about
these events. az they find them IN other
histories But II will not be 30 easy
TO eradicate from their minds the gem
orai impression produced by the general
style and aim of an author whose ann
is avowedly to write from the stand
point of the Union without reference
TO the truth and righteousness OF that
cause for which the South fought.
The Constitution has been amended, and
thereby some of the laws of the United
States are rendered null and void since
1SGl. And events have transpired since
that date which enable US who fought
voluntarily through that war. In defence
of our rights. as Southern men to do
what we can 10 heal those wounds, and
make this Union zone and indssoluble,
now and forever" and TO teach our pos
terity to be patriotic and loyal 10 our
common country. But we can with self
respect and do, concede all this and al
the same time hold and teach 10 those
who come after us that no man or ma
ton in any age or country ever took
up arms I'm defence of a hOlier or more
lust and righteous cause than did the
Confederate States Of America nor were
human rights ever more MOLLY and hero
jcally defended than was that cause
IL is a history that sets forth all these
facts so plainly that they will make per-
manent Judgment IN the minds OF all
our children that | want to see taught,
not only throughout the Southland, but
our whole land. The children will not
love this Union less because taught the
whole truth Of rs history from n source
that teaches them the value OF the
Union. by the almost infinite resources
Of men and means employed in its per-
Tenation. and the value Of hcmau rights,
as they We're guaranteed by the Consti-
tuition and laws Of that Union. when they
were violated. and we OF the South took
up arms 10 defend them in 1861. c. V.

NarabIr's Confession.
To the Editor Of The Times:

TO the Editor or Inc Times.
Sir.-In an editorial in The Times
Of to-day. I am placed in a rather peculiar
light. and hence l think it my duty 10
offer a few words In explanation.
From your editorial Il would appear
that special weight is 10 be attached 10
my statement to the Governor from the
fact that / ministered 10 the condemned
man. Marable. and heard his confession.
Now as a matter Of fact. Marable made
his first confession fully three days after
/ had been TO see Governor O'Ferrall. ana
hence IT could not possibly have modified
my opinion, even If there were no such
strict law as the seal of confession
When, therefore. | called upon the Gov
ernor | did 50 not in any "sa-
cerdotal character" but merely as
"a citizen who is anxious that
Justice should be done 10 all. ire
spectiye Of color. and that the fair fame
OF this State should not be furnished by
such farcical trial
My opinion, as expressed In previous
letter. and to the Governor has no more
weight than the opinion of any other
man who has been carefully reading the
accounts OF the trial. and moreover re-
ceivod additional information from eye
witnesses whose veracity IS above sus-
picion. l.. J. WELBERS.

British Occupation of Egypt.

To the Editor OF The Times:
Sir.-Tho article you reprinted yester-
day from the London Spectator concern
ing the British occupation of Egypt, in
terested me. as | was for many years IN
the Egyptian army and witnessed the
beginning Of that series OF events which
led TO the British occupation The Brit

longing 10 other countries. has always
been utterly INSCRIPTIONS. 10 matter
who has been at the head. a d'lsraeli. or
a Gladstone. il has been all the same.
The necessity Of continued occupation
may exist now, but the article you quote
suppresses the fact that England created
the necessity which she now pleads as
All excuse. From the very beginning
all tho world has understood that Eng
land would never give up possession OF
Egypt ! said so in a lecture delivered
Ina 1856, by invitation Of the American
Geographical Society of New York anu
after more than nine years the eyacua-
ton OF Egypt is more remote than ever.
Engiand's action towards Egypt can be
fifty compared 10 that of rich and pow
erful neighbor, who asked for help
by Il weaker one, has taken possession
OF his land, deprived him OF lOcomotion
and eyesight. and makes his helpless con-
dtiou the pretext for still holding on 10
lis estate as a committee needed TO adj
minister It, owing to the incapacity OF the
poor fellow TO manage his own affairs.

THE TIMES RICHMOND vA SATURDAY SEPTEMBER H. 1895

men say that the difference between the
present business situation and that OF
two years ago s almost as great as De-
tween life and death.
The effect OF the panic. especially upon
dealers In expensive articles, was very
marked. Cheap articles did not suffer
much. hut the luxuries were nearly aDan-
doned. People are now beginning to feel
able to buy what in 1898 and 1894 they
would not have thought d. The retail
dealers have about cleared UP their
shelves. and additional supply is Inevitable.
So close was the skinning that many re-
tail dealers Of proprietary articles sent
them back to tire manufacturers, simply
to recover the cost Of The rev sale stamps.
Tho general talk now Is one Of conf
dence and liberal orders are being given
for articles in every department Of manu-
features. Agents who represent foreign
houses say that confidence in he stability
OF our currency is gradually returning
abroad. and that the idea prevails there
that our troubles are nearly over, and the
return of prosperous business assured.
These dealers are beginning again
to advertise their articles, as
they now see chance TO sell
them. The TACT. too. that the prices Of
articles are rising is causing activity.
People will buy. fearing an increase OF
price. while rising market insurcs a
prosperous business to the merchant and
manufacturer. Another point made is the
good business being done by cheap shows.
The 2j-ccnt circus az last is having its
inning. This is because people Of mod
crate means have money 70 spare for
amusement. Nor is this condition Of rise
and progress and confidence limited to
any special locality or religion. II is all
over the United States.
With the tariff question settled for
years to come, IL those horse leeches of
the Treasury-the greenbacks-were
retired, and the tax on State bank issues
removed. the prosperity of the United
States would astonish the world. and be
unsurpassed In history.

ALL SHOULD BE RETRIEVED.

Judge Coloman's refusal 10 grant a
condemned to be executed for the muir
der OF Mrs. Pollard only increases om
conviction that the Governor should IN
terfere and prevent the execution OF any
of the condemned as much as
the others-untI the last possibility Of
a new trial being had is exhausted. As
we said yesterday, We have an abid-
Ing confidence that the Court Of APP
people a new trial. but If it does not,
the Legislature is soon to meet. ana II
can pass a special act authorizing re-
versal OF the judgment on the record as
1t stands. We do not say the Legislature
will do this, because no man can say
what the views of the members may
be in regard TO the case. Such an act
might also enable the accused to plead
that they had once before been in jeo-
pardy. and might. therefore. prevent a
second conviction. We express no opin-
ion in the case Of any sort except that
these people should not be executed while
there is possibility Of the case being
tried again.

nine Nirginians out of every ten when
we say we hope the Governor will not

cuted while there is a possibility Of a

Many Englshmen are showing temper
M the outcome of the yacht race. ana
there is Just a suspicion Of bad blood
I'm the conduct Of Lord Dunraven nm
self We believe we can view any case
impartially. and we have not the slight
est doubt that we view this one so ar
solutely.
The Englishmen do not appear to us 'o

cursion boats crowded her so that she
could not help 1t. but that does not make
her the less in default. She may have
been very unfortunate. but 1t was she
that made the faux pas all the same. IL
is clear therefore. TO every one, that
she had no right 10 claim the race.
Whether the committee was right IN

ordering it TO be sailed over, must, Of
ooUrse. depond upon the laws Ct yachting
and we profess no Acquaintance with
them. But Lord Dunraven himself mas
declared that he believes the committee
acted without prejudice. and according
TO what they understood the law Of the
case to be- and. If that be so, it Is child
ish In any one TO grumble at their de-
cision. The very greatest of judges have
been held by other judges to have made
errors so that all that can be required
of any man or men is the exercise Of the
best Judgment that they have. Until the
honesty ard integrity of the yacht COM
mittee is attacked. ii is absurd to grum-
bic over their action in awarding the
second days race 10 the Defender
Lord Dunraven had a perfect right to
refuse to contest tho races any further,
after the second days race, upon the
ground that the excursion steamers
crowded the course but ne had 10 right
TO do it upon that ground ostensibly,
but really because the second days race
was denied him. We do not say that
this is a fact. but the ugly temper man.
ifested strongly indicates 1t.
He had opposed sailing the race over
this course for the reason that the course
would be INSTRUCTED. but his arguments
had been ovcrruled, and he had accepted
the award. He could either sail out all
three races. or he could refuse TO sail
the third one. as he did. leaving the cup
TO the Defender; but If he refused TO
sail the third days race, 1t should have
been done frankly, and in perfect good
part. without word or a sign that could
indicate soreness over what had gone
before.
The whole business has turned out an
unlucky hasco. but unless bad faith is TO
be charged against the judges. there
should not be a trace Of .ll-feehng any
where in regard TO it,

THE WORK OF MARRIOTT.

There never was a greater marpiot
than General VIM. Malone BY publish
ing facts that proved that in many parts
OF the state our elections were fraudu-
lent. and by appealing to the consciences
Of the people. The Times had aroused a
real interest in the cause Of fair cleo
lions in the State. and IL the matter had
been let alone the Legislature to be elect
ed in November would have come TO
Richmond strongly representing this
aroused state OF the public conscience.
and We have not the slightest doubt that
!, would have made every amendment
OF the election law that was necessary
10 stop cheating In our elections But
Malone thought the time auspicous for
him 10 make a stir that would rebound
TO the advantage OF his own interests,
and he stalked In where no one OF any
party wanted him. and pretty mess he
has made OF the whole business. As soon
as the people saw this Individual. whom
they had been taught to believe the faith
or OF ali fraudulent elections. posing as
t1t icduti OF crusade Tor honest elec-
tons. they turned with disgust from the
whole business. and said they would
leave matters as they are before they
would run any risk OF bringing Malone
back into power. We warned Malone
long before he strutted out upon the
stage that this would he the consequence

ought 70 have known that II would be.

enough to alarm the people the repre-
