The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1897-09-03

If man commit sin and no one
knows it, he is pure as the unsullied
snow in the eyes of the world; but if
it be known, though he weep over ii
until his very substance is washed
away by the food of grief, though
he agonize with regrets, though he
spend his last effort to right a
wrong, yet in every neighborhood
are those whose memories are long
as death or whose hearts are hard as
adamant, whose cool, calculating
ways save them from sin or whose
clever cOncealments save them from
discovery,-these Pharisees, I say,
will summon the ghosts of mans
past from the grave, though it all be
buried deep beneath accumulated
wears of remorse and unhappiness.
Like mythical ghouls and real
hyenas, these lovers of carrion will
dig till they find the treasure they
seek, the sin spot; and they rejoice
with howlings that all the world can
hear.

DANA's LAST WISH Needed.
The Very Brief obituary Printed In
His paper.


NEW YORK. October 19.-The onl,
announcement which the Sun has made
Of the death of its famous editor, Charles
A. Dana. consists OF the following ten
words, printed at the head OF the edi-
torial columns:
Charles Anderson Dana. editor of the
sun. died yesterday afternoon"
The brevity Of the notice occasioned
some surprise in newspaper circles, for
Mr.. Dana was a man OF more than ma
tional reputation, but the explanation is
simple. One OF the last wishes Mr.. Dana
expressed to his son when he knew that
his end was not far off was this:
Paul, when l am gone, don't have a
long obituary of me printed in the Sun.
Simply announce my going away; that is
all And this request was needed.
IL was at first intended that the fune-
raj should be conducted without pail
bearers, but this plan has been changed
and ten of Mr.. Dana's closest
business friends, together with a few
Of his more intimate acquaintance. were
selected for this duty. They are Theo-
dore Hitchcock. treasurer of the Sun
publishing Company; Professor Charles
s. Sargent manager of the Arnold Ar
boretum, Of Harvard University; VIII
Hazeltine, literary editor, and f. p.
Mitchell and +. p. Church, chief edi-
torial writer's of the Sun; Justice Will
lard Bartlett, of Brooklyn. one OF the
dead editors warmest friends; Frank |
Bartlett, another close friend; General |
James Fl. Wilson, a former Cabinet OFF, |
Ger. and Chester S. Lord, managing edi- !
tor of the Sun.
The services will be held In st. Paul's
Episcopal church, in Glen Cove. l.. l.,
at ll15 A. NJ. Wednesday and the burial
will be in the churchyard there. The
services will be conducted by the Rev.
Or. William r. Huntington, rector OF
trace church, this city assisted by the
Rev. John Gamack. rector of St PauPs.
Glen Cove. They will be simple in char
lcter. according to the ritual of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, without adj
lresses Of any kind.
The passing away OF the venerable
ditor will cause no change in the edi-
orial policy OF the Sun. 1t is an
bounced on competent authority that
'aul Dana, the only son of Mr. Dana.
'ho has long been connected with the
aper. will succeed to the office made
acant by the death of his father.

WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 20, 1897.
WHAT Is BEFORE US.

Save here and there, where there are
sharp fights going on in legislative dis
tricts. the campaign in Virginia Is very
very dull.
The certainty of Democratic victory
benumbs our opponents. and their in
activity produces apathy in our ranks.
The Dispatch has already warned its
readers against over-confdence, and we
repeat the warning now. 1t would be
well nigh impossible for us to lose the
State, but we may get some disagree
able drubbings unless we bestir our
selves. Therefore, district, county, and
city committees would better be watch
full and Industrious, else some counties
may this year slip away from Demo-
cratic moorings and be hard TO recover
hereafter.
But though this is a dull canvass. the
coming legislative session is going to be
lively enough. The two houses will have
TO tackle the subject of State finances
and see how many offices they can abolish
and to what extent the salaries of the re-
naming offices may be reduced. This
will be a hard. disagreeable. and worry
ing work; but there's no choice between
retrenchment of public expenses and
raising OF taxes. And. politically speak
Ing the man who proposes to vote in
favor of raising taxes takes his life in
his own hands!
Ihen there are constitutional amend
ments to be considered, and the most |
important of these will be one promising
reorganization of our County Court |
system. We guess that the two houses
OF the General Assembly will give the
people chance to vote for or against
continuing the present system.
And then there will be the senatorial
primary election question That will
probably prove 10 be the most picturesque
feature OF the next session. The people
are In favor of making senatorial nomi-
nations (where there are more than one
candidate) by primary elections. Whe-
Their there shall or shall not be primaries
VIII depend upon the action Of the au-
thorities Of the Democratic party: but
whether primary-if held-shall be held
under a primary election law or not de-
:, f ~ eioi"'"ie' just there
discussion will arise.
III suitable primary election law
should be passed for the entire State.
Richmond would have no need to ask
Tor amendments to her special law: but
our city must appear before
The Legislature asking that our special
aw be amended in numerous particulars.
80 we may be sure that the next leeis
alive session viii be an important and
exciting one. And this makes II all the
more desirable and urgent that the rem
esentation of each county and civ in
ne Senate and in the House should be 81
Democratic. el
