Grandchildren S0yeIeign's boycott does
not appear to have commended itself to
his followers as wise measure. ''The
fools are not an dead" but We do not eX-
pect those OF them who survive 10 take
up his scheme and advocate If, either in
dis order or before The general public.
As we said in our last issue. Mr.. Sow
,relgn might as well boycott his dinner.
Tho reader can understand why Mr..
Sovereign has boycotted the notes OF the
national banks lie favors the policy OF
providing by law that ali the currency
ii use in this country shall be issued by
h. National Government. lie has no
loubt "a sort Of crude notion that the
Emitted States would under such a system
save large amount Of interest every
..4r. thougn The fact is that the nation
n banks receive no interest from the
National Government which would not
Do paid 10 some person If the present sys-
tenn OF banking were abolished.
But n GIand-9Iaster Sovereign and his
followers deem IT their duty to boycott
Tie notes of the national banks, they
must have somehow or other come TO the
conclusion that there is an abundance Of
currency IN this country. To boycott the
notes Of the national banks-that is. to
boycott them successfully--woul be 10
-enovc them from the channels of trade.
True. this would be 10 follow the example
Of the Irish mob who made a bonfire OF
The notes of a bank which refused or was
unable 20 redeem its notes in specie: but
all the same IL would be what Grand
Master Sovereign knowingly or unknow-
ine.y calls for when he demands that the
notes Of the national banks shall be boy
cotted. lie viii no doubt claim that the
government could soon food the country
with ercerbacks; hut it vsll strike the
average man as unwise TO burn up the
nati9naI-bank notes in order to make
q place for more greenbacks
Again: Grand Master Sovereign's scheme
for boycottlng the existing national-bank
notes would Of course lead him into the
policy OF boycotting all the notes of any
new Statc-bank system which might be
rcsoricd 10 hereafter. such for example
as the State-bank system advocated by
The President and the Secretary Of the
Treasury.
in fine, Mr. S1vereign's boycotting pro-
feet has not one single feature to COM
mend IL 10 public appreciation. 1t is
wild scheme. 1t has already come to
naught. Let the people study 1t, and
then ask themselves how they would like
to cntrust the currency Of this country to
such financial wiseacreS

,Itru;,tIc N.nrubie.

Solomon Marable is a great liar. First
one tale and then another was tod by
him as 10 how Mrs. Pollard was muir
dered. But we take it that the Lunen-
burg Jury did not depend upon Solomons
testimony alone when they convicted his
accomplces, the women.
The Jury would hardly have found the
women guilty upon Solomon's unsup-
ported testimony, and If they had done so
the Judge wouldn't have permitted the
verdict 10 stand We may be sure that
there was important evidence supporting
Solomon's statement. The Geographic
reports of the trial sent the Dispatch
substantiate this view. Furthermore, not
one of the accused established an allbi.
II is. of course unfortunate that the
prisoners. especially the women, had no
counsel. but as far as he could with pro-
prieiy do so, the presiding judge looked
after the interests of the accused ana
quite as well as the average attorney
could have done.
These are cases which are appealabie
from the County Court TO the Circuit
Court. and from the circuit COURT W '"V
Supreme Court Of Appeals. And then, IL
the Supreme Court should decide 10
award a new trial, change of venue
might be ordered by the County Court
of Innenburg. The cases in that event
might be sent to another county in
another circuit, and then the same old
round of appealing might be gone
through with again
1t is. of course, quite unlikely that we
shall see these cases take such course
IL would cost deal Of money. and the
accused are penniess.
We only state the law as 10 appeals in
capital cases, so that our people may
observe how complicated are the ways
Of criminal procedure in Virginia.
1t may be that public apprehension
that Solomon is not 10 be trusted at all
and that the corroborative evidence was
insufficient may lead some lawyer to
volunteer TO take the case OF one or two
OF the women to a higher court, but as
for solomon, no mantle Of charity Is
going to be woven to cover his crime
burdened shoulders and bloody hands.

came to this country when quite young
boy and began the railroad business at
the lowest round possible-taking his
shovel and going with the construction
corps that was at work on branch OF
the Baltimore and Ohio. He began AT
this work in 1888 and continued a year
with the grading corps. but he mace
use OF his opportunities and studied en-
gineering under the assistant engineer IN
charge. He was soon made clerk TO the
agents OF the branch line. In lS2 he be-
came assistant to the chief OF the tunnel
and bridge department OF the Louisville
and Nashville From 1860 TO $50 ne was
agent and cashier OF the Adams Express
Company at Chattanooga, and II was
there that he first began TO learn the
traffic business Of railroads. For twelve
years he was with the Louisville ana
Nashville as agent. From OCTOBER 1872
to 1880. he was third vice-president OF the
Louisville and Nashville system. In jan
uary. 1892, ne was elected commissioner
of the Southern Railway and Steamship
Association, having been out OF service
only two years. spending most or that
time In Europe. -

was being prosecuted by the Southern
Railway Company, there has been an eN-
change of letters between Mr.. 81. John
and President Samuel Spencer. with the re-
suit that Mr.. Spepcer says:
Your reply TO my letter tnerelo,e,
must be regarded as an evasion OF the
question and places me under the disa-
greeable necessity OF saying to you tha'
II YOU intended In your interview as pub
lisned to charge by implication or other-
wise that the Southern Railway company
or its officers have at any time taken any
action for the purpose OF depressing tne
securities OF the Seaboard Air Line such
charge or implication IL wholly ana Gil
tirely untrue and unfounded.'
What comment vice-President st. John
will make upon this letter OF Mr.. spen-
GERS remains to be seen. but 1t Is clear
that there is no very good feeiihs pe-
tween the head men OF these two iHpoi-
tant lines.

Mr.. German Defended.

Hon. J. c. Clarke. once Of Maryland,
now Of Alabama. has come out in a long
letter I'm defence OF Senator German.
Here is one little paragraph from Mr..
Clarkes letter:
True Democrats will render even-hand-
ed Justice to public servants. Give them
credit for what they do that is right and
hold them responsible for their public acts
which are wrong. Hear them In defence
of their cause. Strike if you viii, but
examine their records and see II they
deserve the condemnation applied to
them"
If Mr.. German is such man as his
enemies represent him to be. how does 1t
happen that with the administration OPP
posed to him, the Republicans hghung
him. and the so-called Independents ira
ducing him, he nevertheless Keeps his
grip" upon the leaders Of the grand old
Democratic party in his own State?

To the Editor Of the Dispatch
Mutitudes in this country and Europe
studied to-day this very sad story-sad,
indeed, 10 father. mother. and two bro
thers-whilc the Israeiites were at the
Mount receiving the law. Nadal and
Abihu, two sons Of Aaron. just conse-
Grated, got drunk and offered straw
fire." They kinded the incense not from
the sacred fire always burning in the
tabernacle. contrary to Gods express COM
mand, and were struck dead before the
altar to show His righteous Indignation.
God commanded Aaron, the father ana
high priest, and his two other sons, who
were present also. not 10 mourn the fate
Of their two brothers, but that the two
second cousins should wrap them up just
as they fell, in their priestly robes, and
bury them without the camp. Then
came the command that henceforth no
one present should take any wine or
strong drink when about 10 go into the
tabernacle TO worship.
This terrible visitation was 10 show,
God said, "the difference between the
holy and unhOly." Do all men to-day
distinguish rightly between things sacred
and profane, holy and unholy, between
temperance and iutemperanceY ] am
quite certain they do not. Newspapers
tell us Of frauds in the pulpit. The
Church should guard Gods affairs. | have
seen them desecrated in this city by venal
evangeists. God will not hold him guilt
less who takes His name in vain. Tenn
perance people make more OF the above
sad incident than IS authorized by rea-
son or Scripture They teach total
abstinence; God teaches 10 such thing.
To say that n priest shall not take wine
lust before going 10 service at the altar
clearly teaches he may take II AZ
other times Paul says the sick should
take IL. when necessary. Christ himself
drank it. and made fifteen gallons Of II
for others to drink. The Jewish prophets
condemned the merchants for mixing
water with the wine sold. our temper
ance friends would prefer It all water.
They are not orthodox. They know not
the Scriptures. Ecclesiastics tx, I: Eat
they bread with joy and drink thy wine
with a merry heart. for God now ac-
cepteth thy works. let thy garments be
always white" 7.
