VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS.

An open letter to the republicans Of
Virginia on Colonel Lambs removal OF
the Richmond city chairman, as an at
tack on the Mckinley stronghold, is q
literary competition addressed to Vir-
ginia republicans. 1t is twenty page
pamphlet written by General Edgar
Allan, and it makes a vigorous attack
on State Chairman Lamb, who he ar
CUES must be downed in the interest OF
MeKinleyism, and places the response
bility of the republican split in the
State on Colonel Lamb. In his letter
General Allan begins with the trouble
about the election of General Mahone's
successor, as chairman, and comes
down to the present time. In the doc
ument he goes for Colonel Lamb with
gloves of. General Allan argues to
show that those who have been fight
ing himself and Waddill are opposed to
Mckinley.
A letter FROM Richmond says: 1t is
understood that Allan and Waddill,
Mckinley leaders in Virginia, having
won everything practical in sight, have
concluded to harmonic with Chairman
Lamb. The State convention opens
Thursday at SLaunton. While Col.
Lamb will be opposed for election to
the State Craftsmanship, there will not
be the bitterness promised some weeks
ago. The most interesting feature of
the republican convention this year
will be the fact that there will be more
white men in it than such bodies
in Virginia have usually had. The
question of selecting colored man as
one of the four delegates at-large to
the national convention is still discuss
ed. The name of c. w. Harris, of
Dinuiddje, is mentioned in this con-
nection. 1t is probable that the del
egates.at-large will be General James
A. Walker, S. M. Yost. Colonel
Lamb, and Waddill. II it is determined
to give the oolored people a place
among the delegates. at-large one of
these names will have to come of.
Walker and Yost are certain to remain.
1t is believed that the attempt at har-
monizing the Virginia republicans has
been brought about by the Mckinley
leaders at Washington.

CHICAGO, April 20.-Emma Stone, q

asylum at Dunning, sneaked into
the bathroom Saturday night and,

Get, permitted stream of boil
ing water to flow upon her body.
Whatever her sufferings she did not
utter sound and had been parboiling
from head to foot fer at least five min
utes before she was discovered. Doc

usual remedies. She fingered for four
hours, but only toward the end did she
give voice to the suffering and then her

EVEN NORTHERN republicans begin
to realize the unwise and injurious pol
icy of perpetuating memories OF inter
nicene strife-proscribed by all the
great nations of either ancient or mod
ern times. One of their organs, refer
ring to proposition to make nation
al park at Fredericksburg, makes the
following appropriate remarks, the truth
of which is apparent to most intelligent
men, and to all people familiar with the
history of the world "Would it not lie
far better, however, not to perpetuate
the landmarks of q fratricidal strife,
but permit Time to obliterate and ef-
face them all? Is it not best to let the
dead past bury its past? 1t is not OF
record in history that the battlefelds
of any civil war have furnished the OPP
portunity for perpetuating either the
proves of the parties to the conflict or
were preserved as mementoes of re-
stored friendship and unity. What
ever monuments or memorials of this
character have been erected by other
nations have been invariably intended
t, commemorate victory over for
eign foe. There would seem to be 10
need of outward reminders of our g. ea'
war. The lessons it taught time cam
not oblterate. The places where it
YVES fought out need hardly be pre-
served to be remembered"

ACCORDING to reliable and disin'

at Bsnnings, in the District of Column
ba, last Saturday, there was more bet

the same people who used to bet at

hot weather, than those that Fan on

MAYOR ROWE of Fredericksburg says
the GAzErTE's recent allusion to his
speech at late national park meeting
in Fredericksburg was made from q
parbled extract from that speech, and
asks that the whole of the speech be
n,blished AS most of it consisted OF Il
description of the land proposed to be
included in the so called park, and has
no relation whatever to the matter to
which the GAzETTE's allusion was
made, that part has been omitted, but
all of the speech that suggested any
reference to objectionable gush" is as
follows:
.sNow those great battles, by Divine
Providence, finally led to an 'lndissoiu
b]e union of indestructible States, with
Liberty and Union, now and forever,
one and inseparable, and. who can say
that the benefits will not be greater
than the cost, both to us and future
generations, for we are now one OF Toe
Greatest nations on the globe, and able
to stand alone and independent OF all
nations in all things whenever the peo
nle 40 will it. Now we shall petition
The The government to establish national
parks where those great battles occur
red. as is the case at other such noted
places. 1t is now incumbent on the
government to mark these noted battle
grounds by series of national parks
for the benefit of future generations as
lessons to show them, at how great a
cost, our glorious Union was preserved
which we all now live under, and en-
ioy in peace and contentment."
Ifany thing, the gush of the whole
paragraph seems to be more objection
able than that of the "garbled extract. "
