The Ancient Artillery.

The soldiers of the old Dominion ana
OF Massachusetts are having good time
here. as they were wont to do whenever
they met in the olden times.
The Ancient and Honorable Artillery
Company. now on a visit to Richmond, Is
composed of hundreds OF men who have
been or are now commissioned officers in
other commands. The formation of this
organization has solved the problem OF
what a fellow ought to do with his uni
form when ne quits the service. Here IN
Virginia our officers store away theirs
for the admiration Of posterity, but III
Boston the retired officer joins this com
pany. and. as often as 1t parades. wears
his "regimentals." Thus moths are cheat
ed out OF some Of their rights, but it Is
we'll for the officers.
We welcome our Boston friends to Viz
ginia's capital, and only hope that We
may be half as successful in entertaining
them as the Bostonians were in enter
tanning many Virgnians who recently
visited that city.

OF returning consciousness the warden
forced him to daslst. The autopsy ne
odds. was performed little later and II
was agreed that the facts should remain
a secret Of the death chamber.
The warden and the other physicians
who were connected with the execution
deny these statements. Nevertheless IN
view OF the doubt and the mystery that
have surrounded and the conflicting sto-
ries that have been told regarding nearly
every execution that has taken place III

seem that when electric energy Is turheu

>yr J,uoIls on Acquisitions.

In a paper which he recently laid before
the public Mr.. ingalls, argued as 1oilo"s'
"Our system does not contemplate the
acou,sition of dependencies and coleman
possessions, to be governed ike CON
auered provinces. Individual liberty. local
eelf-government. home rule, and the IN
dissoluble federation OF independent
states are the conditions of our nationai
ufe. These require populations that are
coherent and capable Of political assimila-
ton. having kindred impulses ana asplIa-
lions. and intellectual ana moral quahties
that are compatible, or else empty anu
unoccupied regions that may become te,
ritorics. from which states may be devel-
oced.'
That paragraph contains all tnat can DE
said I'm opposition 10 the acquisition OF
new territory by the United States bu'
when we recollect that Uncle Sam ''ac-
ouired" Florida. Louisiana. California. and
Texas we cannot but feel charitable 10
our lingo brethren. In 1871 the Democrats
snatchsd victory from the hands OF the
wings by coming out at the last moment
for the ACQUISITION of Texas. The wings
could not stand before the blast OF popu-
lar INDIGNATION, which frustrated all who
failed TO favor the policy OF acquiring
Texas. However. we merely wished 10
utter a word OF warning. People are al
ready asking why our government cannot
follow the course pursued by France In
l77s? Let us keep out Of "entangling ALI
aoces" as long as possible; but II cir
curnstances force these upon us, let us be
,renared 10 rise with the occasion.

The Georgia Convention.

Elsewhere we have warned the Demo-
Gratis OF Virginia that If they follow in
the footsteps Of the Georgia and Ken
lucky conventions they may find them
selves in just such a predicament as the
Democrats OF those two States are already
IN. The Atlanta Journal, an administra-
ton organ, says:
altogether, the Griffin Convention VIII
DO the cause Of sound money good. What
was intended as demonstration OF force
has resulted in an exposure of weakness
The failure 10 stir uD popular uprising
for the convention shows that, outside OF
the professional politicians, the people
are not interested in the free-sllver tin
pan campaign; that the effort 10 mix
Democracy and Populism is a failure,
and that the masses Of the people OF
Georgia are still Democrats, In favor OF
neither depreciation nor reputation
