"VICTORIA TIE GREAT"
Verses Appropriate To the Jubilee,
by Alfred Austin.

In its forthcoming issue. the Independ-
ent. under the title Victoria the Great"
will publish the following poem. written
for that paper by Alfred Austin, poet
laureate Of England:
The dew was on the summer lawn,
The roses bloomed. the woods were
green.
When forth there came. as fresh as dawn,
A maiden with majestic mein.
They girt a crown about her brow,
They placed a sceptre in her hand.
And loud rang out nations vow,
God guard the lady of the land"
And now the cuckoo calls once more
And once again Junes roses blow
And round her throne her people pour,
Recalling sixty years ago.
And all the goodly days between,
Glory and sorrow, love and pain.
The wifely mother. widowed Queen,
The loftiest as the longest reign.
She shared her subjects bane and bliss,
Welcomed the wise. the base withstoOd,
And taught by her clear life it is
The greatest greatness to be good
Yet, while for peace she wrought and
prayed.
She bore the trident. wore the helm,
And. Mistress OF the Main. she made
An empire Of her Island Realm.
So. gathering now. from near, from far.
From Rule wherein ne'er sets the day
From Southern Cross and Northern Star,
Her People lift their hearts and pray;
Longer and longer may she reign.
And. through a summer night serene
Whence day doth never wholly wane
God spare and bless our Empress-Queen.

4 Tribute to Archbishop Janssens.

In a leading editorial commenting on
the death OF Archbishop Janssens, the
New Orleans Timos-Democrat says:
Nobody but a man Of extraordinary
tact and conciliatory power could have
stepped in among the wrangling French
men and Italians and Irishmen and Ger
mans of the Catholic communion in New
Orleans and established perfect amity
and determination among them In year
or two as Archbishop Janssens did.
There never was a buster man than
the Archbishop, although he was never
too busy TO speak on interesting topics
of the day, or to assist at meetings when
issues in education or in morals or In
religion or in any Of the higher forms or
popular improvement were the theme.
But never for a moment was he idle; his
mind was forever on the Masters bust
ness. and he worked with loving dill
gence TO further that business. He was
well-regulated devotee OF the divine mis-
sion to which he had dedicated himself,
and I'm the promotion of which he labored
with singular efficiency 10 the day OF MS
death.
"The purity OF Archbishop Janssens''s
life the graciousness and courtesy OF ms
manner and his amiability to friend and
stranger alike were but the outward re-
flex of that beautiful soul which, OF good
ness and brightness instinct. has now
PASSED to the unknown beyond. No more
lovaI servant Of the Master has ever gone
TO his account. and no churchman or re
cent years in New Orleans mas lett a
wider gap in the spiritual life OF this CITY
than Archbishop Janssens has LETT by MS
too early death

however mace no objection to the peo-
pie voting directly for the candidate Tor

reopen the question.
The plan adopted does violence to the
wishes OF the great majority OF Demo

our party. Not only the Dispatch. but
hundreds OF the best Democrats Of Rich
mond are "up In arns'' because OF the
adoption of that plan.
So far from this plan having prevailed
In Richmond for eight years" 1t was
tried. found wanting. and discarded near
~ twenty years ago. The precinct sys-
tenn OF election. that twas good enough
for Colonel A. S. Buford, is just what
we want now.
1t Is our complaint that to the surprise
OF our community the City Committee mas
gone back--not to the Buford plan o''
10 the Mahone-Daniel plan of 1871. Thats
why public sentiment Is outraged.
We believe the News when II says III

and we ask that 1t will now correct us
statement in the light OF the facts that we
have here truly presented. The News has
been wrongly informed, and the comments
that It makes. we submit, should be re-
yersod.
What We want is that our delegates
shall De elected by precincts, as they were
four years ago. No objection Is maze 10
voting for the candidates directly, but
the candidate who receives the most
votes in any precinct ought to have al
the delegates from that precinct.
That was the rule in the OFerrall-Bu-
ford-Tyler contest. That iought 10 DC
the rule now. But, we repeat, precinct
or ward meetings" are not desired Inc
people want a primary election-a pri-
mary election with liberty TO each pre-
cinct to choose It's own delegates.

Never was a more unfounded claim
made by a newspaper. This paragraph
was evidently written by some one who
is a stranger to the history Of the State
newspaper Upon no other hypothesis
can we account for his ignorance of the
fact that up to the middle Of last August
the State had not come out in favor Of
the election Of Bryan and Sewall. but on
the contrary, was running an arr and 'arf
editorial column-half for gold; half for
silver. But, according to the State. that

FRIDAY. ........."..,..JUNE IS, 1897
FACTS TO he REMEMBERED.

1. 1.-THE minority representation" plan
has not been used in Richmond in any
gubernatorlal election contest for twenty
years.
2. In the gubernatoria contest of 1899
there was a primary election and each
precinct here elected it's own delegates
3. Excepting Richmond and three Hen
rico precincts on the borders Of this city.
no other communities In this state have
adopted the minority plan Everywhere
else the candidate who Is the strongest
gets the vote of the election division
that Is voting for delegates to the Roa-
noke convention. In short, other COM
munit!es may easily give their solid votes
for their favorite candidates, While under
our plan our city is practically prohibited
from doing so.
Query: Is our plan fdir 10 Richmond?
If it is TO become a precedent here how
can we ever hope to make our citys in
Huencc properly felt in State ana district
conventions?

Debs's "co-operative commonwealth"
scheme has struck snag, in that certain
of "the more advanced Socialists" are
opposed to his projected Utopia. They
say Debs's ideas are lacking in definite
ness-are in fact, rather visionary, and
il this is true as regards advanced So
cialists." how may we expect it 10 be in

good, and that the Rose Valley Borax

to contain almost incxhaustible beds
