nR. DANA ON The PRESS.

Friday last Mr.. Charles \. Dana, the
brilliant editor OF the New York Sun,
delivered an address before the Cornell
University on "The Conditions, Useful
ness and Future of the Press" The Sun
of yesterday contained a full report Of
this gentlemans able and comprehensive
presentation Of his subject.
In concluding his address Mr.. Dana
uttered these parting words:
There is one point more. with which
/ will close. The value of the free press
is not now sufficiently appreciated in this
country. 1t is only some particular cir
cumstance, some unusual occurrence. that
can make it rise clearly before the eyes
of us all. | don't know that l can state
it with sufficient dfstinctness, but In my
judgment the highest function of the
press is that at last it forms the final
barrier which stands between the people
and any gross wrong that may be at
.tempted, by a dominant party or by
ruling public favorite. If such circum-
starce should ever happen, and God
grant that il may not, the mission Of the
press, lifting its voice in defence of the
Constitution and i'm defence of the spirit
of liberty, will be recognized: and the free
press will be appreciated as the defender
OF the public welfare. OF the Constitution
and of liberty itself.
And now let me finish with two or
three maxims which seem to me of value
to a newspaper maker:
Never be in "A hurry.
u.-Hold fast to the Constitution.
nI.-Stand by the Stars and Stripes.
Above all. stand for liberty, whatever
happens.
IVA word that is not spoken never
does any mischief.
VAN the goodness of a good egg can
not make up for the badness of bad
one.
VIII you find you have been wrong
don't fear TO say so.
There is a tradition In some newspapers
Of the old school that you must pretend
TO silly infalliblity. and never admit
you have been wrong. That is a silly
rule. II man has not the moral cour-
age 10 say yes, | was wrong, and | don't
now believe what | said at some former
time; If he has not courage 10 say that.
he had better retire from business. and
never try to make another newspaper.

ANOTHER REA>ON FOR a (ONVEN.
TON.

Unless we are greatly mistaken, the
Dispatch would like to see "A constitutional
convention held in Virginia TO adopt the
mississippi plan" as an election system.
That Is what all the other advocates of
convention are really after. whatever rea-
sons they may assign, and VIC naturally
assume that the Dispatch is after the
same thing. We think. indeed. that If
we should go to the trouble Of over
hauling It's files, we could find It's eX-
press advocacy of the Mississippi pffn fof
Virginia. But the Dispatch comes ior-
ward now with an entir4y new reason
for a constitutional convention. 1t wants
a convention thatSthe course of our judi
.ciaI procedure. m criminal trials may be
overhauled nut will the Dispatch please
tell us what a constitutional convention
coulI<lo in this matter that a Legislature
clhnot do? In what is the Legislature
= hampered respecting the appellate pro-
ceedings of the judiciary? Why may not
the Legislature make any regulations that
1t may deem wise TO govern that mat
ter? The Dispatch intimates that a
constitutional convention would be dis
posed 10 take measures in relation TO this
that the Legislature Will not take. We
can conceive of no possible grounds upon
which this opinion, can be based. The
members OF the Legislature are elected by
the voters of the counties and cities and
the members OF the convention would be
elected by exactly the same voters. The
B individuals elected To the convention
would, in all probability, be in most cases
exactly the individuals who would be
elected TO the LEGISLATURE. What reason
is there. then, for supposing that a con-
vention thus composed would take a diff
ferent view Of this subject from an or
binary Legislature?
The Dispatches grievance with our pres
ent system seems to be, first, that the
State is allowed no appeal in a criminal
case. and. second, that the accused has
two appeals 10 the Circuit Court,
whence he may appeal to the Supreme
Court of Appeals, II he loses in it.
Now. We are not disposed to think that
a body of representative Nirsinians will
ever give the State right of appeal in
a criminal case. From the very earliest
dawn Of our institutions one of their
mos. hallowed principles has been that no
man shall nc put in jeopardy of his life
or liberty more than once. Ii he has
been once set 10 face mis- accusers and
jury Of his peers has heard all the
testimony that can be produced against
him and has pronounced him innocent,
our institutions have said from their
earliest dawn that he shall never again
be vexed with another trial for that
offence. unless he asks for 1t himself. for
good reasons. it is a most wholesome
principle that the Dispatch will never
induce the people of Virginia to sur
render. We agree that there should be
AN appeal TO but one court. But the
Legislature can provide for that without
a convention.

The statement was remarkable. from

William Hartman. which contract W.
suddenly broken off last sprlnG, while
the fair fiancee was abroad Win MI

The facts Of the first engagement, In
1898, are still fresh in the minds OF most
New Workers Miss Anna Gould was az
that time only eighteen years OLD. ara
had not yet made her debut in society.
Mr.. Harry Woodruff resigned from Chds.
Frohman's "Charley's Aunt company,
i'm which he had a prominent part. Ills
resignation, it was understood at the
time. was with the avowed object of
giving up a stage career for the pur-
pose of studying law at Yale, and his
engagement TO Anna Gould was talked
of in the clubs and about town, al
any such contract.
\ most romantic story was related at
the time by the young mans friends.
1t told that the young couple had met
when children, and that a strong and
ardent passion had arisen between them;
that means had been taken to separate
them by sending Miss Anna off to "A
Boston boardinS-sch and that Super.
intendent Byrnes' aid had been invoked
by Jay Gould to restrain the ardent
young lover from his assduous atten-
lions TO the young heircss.
When Superintendent Byrnes was in
tervicwed on the subject, he declined to
deny OrSafiirm any of the statements
made. There was one story told of
large sum Of money that had been paid
young Woodruff through the Superinten-
dent, in consideration OF which the actor
was to leave New York and cease his
loVe-like attentions.
The story which Woodruff told how
ever, was different. He said that when
Jay Gould became aware OF the strong
FEELING that existed between his daugh-
ter and the actor he wrote TO SIperin-
tendent Byrnes, asking his aid in Kidding
ms daughter OF her sutton Mr.. Byrnes
then wrote TO Woodruff who Immediate
ly replied that If Jay Gould wished him
10 cease his devotion to Miss Anna he
should so request him personally An in
tereStlnS interview then took place
between the multi-millionaire and his
young and would be son-in-law. with the
result that the latter made a solemn
promise TO neither write nor see the
young woman till she was of age.
Jay Gould died December 2 1852. and
then i was assorted trat the love-mak-
ing or the lmpulsive young couple was
resumed, with the result that on Noyem
