. CALL ON THE CITY COUNCIL.

After consultation with representatives
of Richmond's veterans organizations
the Finance Committee Of the City Coun-
ell has agreed to recommend an appro-
pr,ation of $4,000 to build the auditorium
and otherwise assist in the entertain
ment OF those veterans and volunteers
who may accept our invitation TO De
present at the Confederate reunion here
q few months hence.
The community expects that the
money asked for will be promptly
voted. 1t is to be spent In the
exercise by us of the rites of hospitality
and upon men to whom Richmond owes
an unreasonable debt of gratitude
This $4,000 is asked as the contribution
of Richmond as a corporate body, but
other large sums will be needed. which
will be raised by veterans and volun-
teer organizations and other associations
of publc-spirited men. When our friends
come to see us on this great OCCASION
we must do our best for them. We shall
certainly have to provide for the largest
crowds that have ever visited Richmond.
The DiSpatchS lnioindtivh - Nl"' ~ J"

other southerners vastly more imposing
in numbers than any we have seen here.
The survivors of a hundred regiments
that fought to a fragile" with Lee and
Johnston will answer roli-call at Rich
mond OF June SOth And with them will
come scores of famous ex-Confederate
generals and statesmen, while the pros
poet OF seeing so many distinguished men
together will excite in the young people
OF the South an irresistible desire TO be
present. The result will be that Richmond
Will be crowded. not only with great
numbers. but with people who Of all
people on earth are our best friends
and best deserving of entertainment.
Such being the promise of the reunion,
we feel that Richmonders may conf
IDENTIFY count upon our City Council doing
It's duty gracefully and gladly. This
done. the veterans Committee OF Ar
rangements will proceed to make out
their detailed programme and to call
into service every agency of hospitality
and patriotism that may add TO the plea
sure and splendor of the occasion.

"In concluding this report. I beg leave
to say that when the palpable defects
in structural arrangements and machinery
have been remedied. the Texas will be,
in my opinion. one OF the most efficient
ships Of her class afioat. Her high speed,
almost perfect manoeuvring power. and
great steadiness make her an ideal vessel
at sea, and she will be found an ad-
mirable gun-platform. Her heavy armor
is wei placed. and the vital points of the
ship are thoroughly protected. The bat
terry carried. which admits Of concen-
trating a heavy fire in many directions.
would make her most formidable i'm ac-
ton. She possesses ample berthing-space
for the health and comfort Of even a
larger complement OF men than now car
RED and has facilities for slowing stores
and provisions" Report of Captain Henry
Glass, commander OF the Texas. TO Secre-
tary Herbert.
1t seems that there were some defects
In the design adopted for the Texas, but
that the work on her has been well done
Is admitted on all sides. The government
still owes the Richmond Locomotive
Works a balance of $4,000 for work on the
Texas. but that every cent OF this will
be cheerfully paid in short time there
Is every reason for believing.

OF Richmond (who is also president OF

lated for the information OF the public.
The Davis Monument Association Is au-
thorized to go ahead with the laying oil

Grand Encampment of the United Con-
federate Veterans must approve the de-
sign before the detailed work on the
monument can be proceeded with.
The citizens OF Richmond are going
TO do their best 10 make the stay here

that they may need as TO the features OF
the reunion, railroad rates. lodgings

derstand that this Is work Of some

must be carefully made.
The indications are that this reunion
will draw hitber more people than nave
before assembled in Richmond since
the war-tbe memorable occasion of the
unwilling Of the Lee monument not eX-
ceptod. Mrs. Davis and Miss Winnie
Davis are expected to be present. The
Grand Encampments meeting here VIII
certainly ensure us larger attend
ance of Confederate veterans from the
far South than we have ever had IN Rich
mond And the rapidity with which
new camps are being formed in the Nir-
ginas and Carolinas assures US that the
attendance from nearby States Will be
very large indeed.
At the cornerstone laying the orator
OF the day will be General John Il. Cor
don. Of Georgia. and the chief marshal
General Stephen ID. Lee. of MISSISSIPPI
AS heretofore announced. both of these
gentlemen have accepted the positions
rendered them The day of the corner
stone laying will be the day of the great
parade. in which the uniformed volun-
teers and the veterans Of Lees and john
ston's armies will march side by side.
These items of information will, we
doubt not. interest many people in and
out OF Richmond. They are necessarily
general, but, as we have stated, detailed
programmes will be issued from time TO

A recent decision of the New York
Court of Appeals was adverse to the consii-
nationality Of the civil-service law Of that
State, in its application TO veterans of the
civil war. The act that is now declared
invalid exempted from competitive ex-
animation all veterans applying for
positions In which the remuneration did
not exceed 81 a day. The court holds
that this creates a favored class. 1t is
conceded that the Legislature may desig-
nate what offices. if any, it is impossible
to fill by competitive examination. But
such designations must rest on other
grounds than the daily salary list. The
law is. therefore. condemned as a mis-
conception or disregard of the lines fixed
by the Constitution OF 1894. in favor of
the old soldiers.

The Election Laws.
(Appomattox Tlmes.)

There seem' 20 be many propositions
before the Legislature looking to a change
or changes in our election-laws, none OF
which commend themselves 10 our favor.
We see IL stated that there are eleven
bills proposing these changes pending be-
fore the Senate Committee on Privileges
and Elections-eight introduced by Demo-
Gratis and three by Republicans-but IL
IS a strange thing after the howl that
has been raised against the Walton law
that every one Of them provides for the
same system Of voting as that law, and
differs from IL only in detail The author
Of each bill says there is a clamor against
the present law. and the changes he pro-
poses are necessary TO put a stop 10 this
clamor. Bst what assurances have these
gentlemen that the details OF their
measures will not be as Objectionable as
the present law?
We think there are changes that should
be made in the present law, but have not
as yet seen a bill which embodies the
changes we would suggest. These changes
should be on the line Of perfecting the
law. 1t was an experiment, adopted in
Virginia just two years ago. The details.
OF course. were imperfect. Experience
has shown these imperfections.
Let the necessary changes be made,
and give the law a fair chance. and We
predict It will find universal favor in the
public mind.

The basket was made OF willow-work--
Made rough, but very strong
With a top to hide what was put inside
And a handle to take IL along.
A man came by the market-place;
He was a good man and true;
He bought the basket. and filing u no.
Said: II have put all l could In you.'
1t was only a basket of medium size;
But il carried that man so high.

Up. and up to Heavens bright gate,
Which the angel opened wide.
And the basket he filled for the hungry

The Rockbrdge News thinks that our
Democratic State Convention would be
more representative and more deliberative
If composed of fewer delegates than II
has lately consisted Of. 1t suggests that
our State Committee would better reduce
the representation TO one delegate for
each 200 Democratic votes.
Possibly. the reduction might be safeiy
made this year, but 1t is always urged
before the committee that a large con-
vention arouses more enthusiasm than a
small convention, besides affording OPP
portunity to the party to honor many
good workers, whose services would else
be forever unrecognized.
II the News will attend the next meet
ing of the committee. it will learn that
this is a question on both sides of which
good arguments may be made.
