LkSSjTER or PETERSBURG.
Suggested as our NEXT Atforney-
General.
Communicated.1

Aue OenOcratlc party IS fortunate
in having so many able and faithful
men in its ranks, upon whom the
honors and responsibilities of the
Attorney Gereralship of the State
could be worthily aud safely placed.
Among the most conspicuous
names that are mentioned in connec-
tioh with the position is that of
Francis r. Lsssiter of Petersburg,
formely United States District Attor-
ney for the Eastern District of Vir
ginia. That appointment was award.
ed him by Mr.. Cleveland Chen sup.
posed to be Democrat) not only as
a recognition of his fitness, but as a
reward for loyal service to the party
Bot MIR. Lassiter believes that the
policy announced in a National Dem
ocratic platform is true and author
itative Democratic doctrine, and
that no man can claim the title of
Democrat, who renounces and de-
nounces the latest deliverance of the
only organ empowered to prescribe
what Democratic doctrine is, namely,
a National Democratic Convention.
duly constituted and assembled in
strict accordance with party law and
usage.
MIR. Lassiter fully realized, in the
last momentous conflict of parties,
that 'faith without works" would
contribute little to the cause in which
all his sympathie' and convictions
were enlisted, and accordingly, he be-
gan to take part in behalf of the
platform and nominees of the Chic
ago convention. But suddenly and
solemnly he was warned from Wash
ington that his conduct was offensive
to the President and Attorney Gen.
eral Of the United States, and that he
must desist from any further work in
that direction. Mr.. Lassiter, recog
nizing his allegiance to the party as
OF paramount obligation, and feeling
bound in honor and conscience to
uphold it's policy as declared by the
last National convention, promptly
drew the line between Official posi-.
tion--under Cleveland--and the
status of free citizen, and deliberat-
~ chose the latter. He at once re
signed his Office, because he was un-
willing to serve under an administra-
tion which pretended to be Demo
cratic and at the same time used all
its powers and influence to defeat
and destroy the Democratic party.
He declined to follow John G. Carlisle
and his adherents in their apostasy,
and boldly cast his lot with his party,
prepared to share its fate whatever
it might be.
Mr.. Lassiter disclaims any sugges
ton of being martyr He does not
pose in that character. His mrtyr
dom would have been submission to
the traitorous combination at Wash
ington, which, while preaching Dem
ocracy. sought to coerce or seduce
the administration appointtees into
the service of the enemy.
The loyalty of Mr.. r.Lassiter has been
severely tested, much more so than
that of any of his competitors, but
his fidelity to his party has known
neither change nor intermission.

s'vESTMENT'' SQUABBLE.
Episcopalian Clerical Dress Discussed
by Bishop Cheney.

DY 61SnOp Cnenoy.
Chicago, Ill, June 1S.-Bishop Che
ney who has just returned from New
York, where he has been attending the
general council of the Reformed Epis-
copal church. was asked for his version
of the one exciting controversy of the
council, which has come to be known as
the vestment contest.
Bishop Cheney said: Il wish it to be
understood that 1 favor no particular
garment or church vestment, but 1 am
opposed to any particular garment or
robe being prescribed. If we are re-
stricted in what we shall wear. we
shall be told what we must sing, or eat
for instance.
Il was opposed to any restriction be-
ing put upon our Christian church Ii
brary. A Iayman of Philadelphia pre-
cipitated the difficulty by Offering
resolution prescribing a black robe, and
that only as the clerical dress for
church services.
THE white surplice and black scarf
were decried as Roman Catholic, and
the bishops robes, which I only wear
in the discharge of some Episcopal Of
flee, were denounced
my resignation of certain chairman
ships of committees and trusteeshlps,
the gifts of the general council, does not
mean separation from the church. There
is no question of secession involved the
synod of Chicago, which backed me IN
the position 1 took of fullest liberty,
will not separate from the church, but
the result may be that the synod may
feel indifferent about representation in
The general council in the future or
when il meets three years hence"

Pittsburg, June 1S.-The meeting of
the Methodist and Presbyterian Minis
teriaI association (cOIored) here, almost
ended in a riot, owing to the Urbana
lynching incident
Fully dozen colored divines of note
took part in the argument which was
started by Rev. J. w. Gateway read
ing hot paper on "Lynching'
In the discussion one minister refer
red to crimes committed against color
ed women in the south during the war
and gloatingly said the white people
were now getting paid in their own
coin, their sins coming back to them
like chickens which always come home
to roOst.
This hot declaration seemed to strike
a popular chord in the audience. Rev
w. S. Lowry Endorsed the remarks.
Bishop c. c. Petty made a short ad-
dress, in which he said it was high time
for the colOred man to rise and defend
himself Rev. w. H. Draper got the
floor and made an address, saying plain
" that the colored people had the white
man to thank for the high position they
hold today.
This remark caused bed1am to break
loose. Dozens of angry divines were on
their feet clamoring for recognition.
Rev. Mr.. Draper held the floor until
Presiding Elder w. H. Brown walked
up to him and shook his fist under his
nose.
Then the champion of the down trod-
den white man subsidized.

BARNATO GOT eeRATTLED''
Fred HoIturn Tells of Barney's Exper-
fence in the Circus Ring.

Oakland, Cal, June 18.-Fred Holturn
who lives in Berkely denies the story
by the sister of Barney Barnato that
her brother never played in circus
HOlturn says that he and Barney Bar
natO performed together in the same
ring in London many years ago.
Il first met Isaacs, or Barnato, as he
afterwards called himself, while work
ing in John HOlturn'S Royal London
circus many years ago. Isaacs and his
brother Jake joined the circus at Leeds
My brother John, the cannon ball
king" did an act where he was shot at
by a cannon, which I fired. Barnato
held the ropes that bound my brother.
John would give the order to fire at his
head. At the word fire. Barnato was
supposed to let loose the ropes SO that
my brother could catch the cannon
ball.
ION one occasion young Isaacs, or
Barnato, became ratified, and at the
signal fire. he did not loosen his hold
on the ropes, but frightened instead. The
big ball plowed along the top of John S
head and left him with an ugly scalp
wound. From that moment to this l
have never laid eyes upon Barnato and
his two brothers. The two Isaacs, as
we called them, did not even wait to
draw the salary due them, and we new
er heard of Barney again until his At
rican success made him world-fa-

FEARS FOR RIVERA.
The Spanish Prosecutor Has Asked
for His Death Sentenca.

New York, June 1S.-A dispatch to
the World from Washington says:
A telegram from Senior Palma of the
Cuban junta at New York received to-
night by Secretary Quesada of the pro-
visional legation reads: prosecuting
attorney has asked for death sentence
on Ruis Rivera and Bacallao."
Steps were taken Immediately to pre-
vent, if possible, the summary execu-
ton of such a sentence. Senator Morgan
and other were seen and their services
were enlisted. Arrangements were
made TO have influential senators call
upon Secretary Sherman to urge him to
request interference by the Madrid
government and a direct appeal will be
made to the president. 1t is expected
that Minister Taylor will be instructed
to obtain from the Madrid government
assurance that the lives of the two in
Surgent leaders viii be spared
The fact that Spanish Minister De
Lone has authOritatively denied with
in a week that it was the intention to
execute Rivera and BacaIlao increases
the Indignation felt by those friendly
to Cuba s cause. The feeling is that
the prisoners may be shot before any-
thing can be done for them through
diplomatic channels

MANIAC AT THE FEAST.
A White Tramp Nearly Breaks Up a
CoIored Social Function.


Last night as the colored church so
cfal at the corner of Twelfth and Blu
chanan streets was at it's height, a
strange young man with glaring eyes
walked into the yard and sat down on
a bench near one of the tables. He
was a white man about "a years of
age, was dressed in clothes which were
somewhat Sha bby. He carried an old
worn OVercoat and a bundle wrapped
in a newspaper. His hair was long
and curly.
The people looked inquiringIy at the
newcomer and one or two talked with
him. His eyes had a peculiar light in
them and his talk indicated a disor-
dered brain. The hospitable people
thought he looked hungry and they in
VIted him to have something to eat
The strange visitor ate ravenously
what was set before him. His bony
hands and sunken cheeks told a story
of privation and his eyes and his tongue
gave evidence of something wrong. The
people questioned him and he broke
forth in a wild incoherent strain, while
his eyes bulged from his head and
frightened the women
A call was sent to police headquar-
tiers. Sergeant Owen responded. The
young man was sitting on the bench
among the trees with his arms folded,
his head elevated and a look of defiance
on his face. When told that he would
have to accompany the officer he said:
I am no tramp. See these clothes. I
won't run away for 1 can meet JUS
tice. I talked a little religion and sci
ence and philosophy to these people
and they thought 1 was crazy 1 am
pretty well up on those things He
was taken to police headquarters where
he spent the night in Jail. This morn
ing he was released. He said his
name was Frank Logan and that his
home was in Buffalo, N Y He is
harmless. He is going to Colorado.

CURRENCY WILL REST.
The President Has Abandoned the
Appoin tment of Commission.

The President Has Abandoned the
Appointment of Commission.
Chicago. June 18-A special to the
Times-Herald from Washington, D. c..
says:
1t appears to be well settled that no
effort will be made by the president
to secure authority for the appointment
of a currency commission at this ses-
sion of congress.
Until within a week or so the presi-
dent had believed that such a measure
might be passed in the closing days
of congress, while the two houses were
in conference on the tariff bill But
he is now advised by the Republican
leaders in the senate that it would be
useless to present this question. The
silver senators, it is said, have decided
to oppose any such measure and they
could easily bring about considerable
delay. Unless some change comes in
the situation, the president will be
compelled to permit this important
matter to go over to next winter.
