MORRIs's ODE TO VICTORIA.
Praise from the Pen of the

morning publishes a jubilee ode from the
pen of Sir Lewis Morris. 1t begins:
Rejoice; give thanks for all the centu-
ries
Since first our little islands crescent

A feeble radiance woke the waning skies
To rise in full-orbed glory"
The ode proceeds TO describe the birth
and growth of the mighty empire until the
coming of the present reign, and then
says:
"Ne'er I'm our crowded republics story yet,
OF all that men remember or forget
This strange, this precious thing has been.
No reign of threescore years Of King or
Queen.
"Our annals hold till in this waning age
Times finger writes 1t on the stored
This is the golden link which binds in
one
All British hearts beneath the circling
sun.
And this the star which draws all, far
and near.
This aged life and dear"
The poet after picturing the queens
life. and the gathering of her proud sub
iects from all quarters of the globe to DO
her honor. says:
This pomp makes history long years to
be
When all our brave Victorian company
Beyond the circuits Of the stars has gone,
The echoes Of this memorable day.

Shall still go widening. widening on
Till Britain with new fires OF union

The ode concludes:
'Princes and peoples join alike to pay
| Due reverence TO woman's blameless
sway,
| And bless with voice and heart this fair
suspicious day."

,xnrprxDEyCE OF NEW YORK

New York has not only been steadily
losing her export trade. but 1t seems that
her wholesale trade has also been suffer-
ing so seriously as to call Tor orgahiza-
nized effort to check the decadence. Ihis
organized effort has taken definite
shape in the Incorporation OF the Mer-
chants Association of New York, ana
the secret as TO exactly where the shoe
pinches is let out in an editorial IN one
of the leading commercial papers OF
Gotham.
A prominent association of the
wholesale merchants OF New YORK
saws our contemporary, fought TO be able
IN ACCOMPLISH a good deal in the way
of attracting merchants from a distance
and making it easy for them to come
here to combine recreation with the re-
plenishing of their stocks" Possibly.
adds our contemporary, sit is undigniiled
to advertise. but it Is necessary and 1t Is
effective. The city has got to advertise
itself and take steps to draw customers
hither too"
We do not wish New York any partic-
ular harm but the rest Of the country
&c not. we think called upon to shed
tears over the necessity for the move
ment under discussion, and the confess
| sion involved in our contemporary $
comments. New York's loss of whole
| sale trade is the gain of other wholesale
markets. 1t means that other wholesale
markets are gradually coming into what
| IS legitimately their own. And what Is
| more encouraging, just in proportion as
these other markets continue TO absorb
the trade that naturally belongs to them
and stop New York from battening on the
whole country, will We get nearer to that
great consummation so devoutly TO be
wished. which is independence OF New
| York as a financial centre.
Next to reform in our financial system
| itself. the great need of business Is de-
yelopment along lines that will prevent
what money there is in the country from
congesting in New York. By bending hei
energies TO building up her wholesale
trade Richmond may become an i'm
portant factor in putting stop to this
congestion. thus not only benefting her
self. but the business of the country a
large.

THE SINKING OF THE WILSON.
The Tragedy Recalled by Trial In
baltimore,


BALTIMORE, MD, June 22.-(SpecialD
The sinking Of the tug-boat Job T. VIII
son by the steamship Howard, with its
attendant loss of life and sequel of sui
eide. was recalled this morning by the
trial OF a case in the United States Dis
trict Court. The owners of the Job L.
Wilson. the Warwick Park Transports
ton Company of Richmond, Va. and the
relatives OF Joseph ChildresS, chief engl-
neer OF the tug-boat, and OF I. I. CHAP
pell cook, of that city, who both lost their
lives in the collision, nave brought SUIT
against the Merchants and Miners
TRANSFORMATION Company. the owners of
the ship. for damages. An inquiry by the
United States Inspector OF Vessels failed
TO definitely fix the blame for the fatal
accident This will be done judiclally in
In the case. without a jury.
The most important testimony for the
plaintiffs was given by Mate Zero II.
Walker, of the Wilson. He gave an ac-
count Of the collision, which occurred
January 6. 1897. In he course Of his tes-
tlmony he said that If the Howard had
have kept her course she would have
cleared the tug by forty feet. The acct
dent, he said was due to the sudden
CHANGING of the steamers course. Mate
Walker was rescued after he had broken
through the windows of the sinking tug
10 escape. 1t will be remembered that
the master OF the Howard committed
suicide shortly after the accident while
on a voyage from Boston TO Baltimore.
Messrs. ]. s. Lemon and w. Baker
Clotworthy appeared for the tug-boat
owners, and Ex-Governor Whyte and
Daniel II. Payne for the transportation
company. James Pollard represents the
relatives Of Chlldress and Chappell. The
latter was 10 years OF age. and was the
son of the tug-boat captain. Childress was
81. and left a widow and four children.

Don't Commit This Folly.
buckingham Register.)

We heartily endorse the views Of "An
Original Silver Democrat" which appears
elsewhere In to-day's Register. antaso-
MIXING the contention of Major Tyler
friends that none but original silver men
should be nominated by the Democratic
State Convention. which meets In Roa-
noke in August.
Such a contention Is unjust to Mr.
Ellyson, and 1t carries on its face a
spirit OF prescription that Is un-Demo-
cratic and full OF mischief.
Why gentlemen who are equally loyal
TO their party cannot be judged on theiI
merits, independent of the day OF the
month or hour Of the day upon which
they may have reached conclusion or
the silver question or some other politi-
cal issue, we are at loss to understand
the election OF the Democratic ticket
