THE SULTAN'S HEIR.
He Is His Eldest Brother, Who Is Rarely
Seen In Public.

He Is His Eldest Brother, Who Is Rarely
Seen In Public.
The sultan's heir is not his eldest
son, but his eldest brother, according
to the London Echo. The eldest male
the fruitful source of dynastio murders
in almost every reign since the Turks
became power. The sultan has four
brothers-not one only, as was lately
alleged This eldest brother is Rechad
Effendi-that is to say, he is eldest aft
er the ex-sukan, Murad V, who, being
insane, is not counted. The third broth
er is WarediD, and the fourth SULLIVAN.
The sultan's eldest son, Prince Selim,
has no earthly chance of succeeding his
father. He has too many uncles and
uncle's Sons for that. But Prince Selim
is lucky, if he knows it, for he is not
dangerous. " He lives q life of freedom,
whereas the heir is, by the custom Of
the Ottomans, kind of life prisoner.
Rechad Effendi is rarely seen. Every
time he drives out he is escorted by a
troop, less by way Of an escort than as
a guard. The few who do know him
like him, for he is said to be a cour-
teous, humane, we'll informed man, ac-
quainted with current politics and keen
ly interested in them. He is good
farmer. The pretty palace known as the
Tcheragan is his residence. OF course
Rechad's visitors are searched before
they are admitted and when they are
leaving by the sultan's officials. Dur
ing times of trouble in Armenia, Con-
stantinople and Crete Rechad is moro
narrowly watched than ever, for the
sultan and his clique know that Rechad
is popular. Unlike tho sultan, Rechad is
one of the most handsome men in Con-
stantinople.

"With pleasure, was the reply, and,
setting to work, he made deep incision

THE POT TO THE KETTLE.

The compliments that are being passed
between the leaders Of the anti-Lamb
and the Lamb factions Of the Republi-
can party respecting ofiice-seeking are
no particular concern of ours. AS
rule, they are merited. The history of
the Republican party in Virginia shows
that its leaders, with the rarest of excep-
tions. are place hunters, first, last, and
all the time.
Nevertheless, we agree with the Balti-
more Sun, that criticism of McCaul as
chronic office-seekei comes with very
bad grace from the head of the anti
Lamb faction, seeing that McCaull has
only held one Federal office of impor-
lance, and his critic has held lucrative
Federal positions at intervals for the
last quarter Of century.
The case is clearly one OF a pot that
has seen long service in the kitchen
cabinet essaying to reflect upon a COM
paratively little-used kettle for having a
sootv hue.

UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER.

dispatch from Cape Town, South
Africa, says that DR.. Jameson the hero
of the Transvaal raid, will stand for
seat in the Cape Assembly. and that the
chief plank in his platform will be "Fede-
ration for South Africa"
That plank will do very well for Jane
son to start from. but it by no means
represents the full ambition of the gall
liant raider, and of the more prominent
figure who, it is safe to assume. is be-
hind his candidacy.
There can hardly be a question that
Jameson is Cecil Rhodess candidate, and
that Rhodes's platform for the near
future, II not for the present, is not only
federation for South Africa, but absorp-
ton of all the territory lying between the
British possessions in the southern and
the sphere of British influence in the
northern part of the Dark Continent.
II Jameson shall be returned. as doubt
less he will be, his election will be in the
nature Of another notice served upon the
Beers, and II will be interesting to see
how the latter will take it. Despite the
fact that Jameson was made the Escape
goat" in the Transvaal raid matter, he
and Rhodes understand each other tho
roughly, and recent events have proved
that there is no feeling between them
except a felIow-feeling regarding the ex-
tension of British domination in Africa

GIVE US A PLAN.

The Southern Planter dislikes the sug-
gestion of the Dispatch that our Legis-
lature will not only have to retrench
public expenses. but may have to hnd
new subjects OF taxation In order 10
meet the increased rate OF interest upon
the public debt. The Planter thinks il
the Legislature will do its full duty IN
the way OF cutting down expenses, no
Inci ease of taxation will be necessary.
II the end IN view can be reached, as
thu Planter believes, without seeking
new subjects OF taxation the Dispatch
will be much rejoiced. Whatever new
taxation is laid will fall chiefly. II not
wholly. upon our cities and towns, all
OF which have now as many burdens as
they can well stand up under. But elimi-
mating the appropriations for schools,
colleges, pensions, and the care OF the
insane. which, judging the future by the
past. will not. be touched by the hand
Of the retrencher, we find the
expenses Of virginia's Government
are only about $4,000 per annum.
Now, will II be possible to economic
In expenditure go as TO save $4,000 per
annum out OF the $4,000? We much
doubt II. However, we should be glad
TO know that plan could be framed
that would accomplish that purpose; but,
so far. we have seen no such plan. III
the Planter has one 1t would do the pub
lie a service by proposing 1t in detail
We but utter a warning when we say
that unless the most prodigious cuts
shall be made in public expenses, the
Legislature will have no choice but TO
seek TO discover new subjects Of taxa
ton. OF course, nobody will vote to
Increase the tax-rate upon real or per-
sonal property; but IL the money we
need cannot be gotten by a reduction
of expenses, what choice will the Legs
lature have but TO try to secure addi-
tional revenue from new sources? AT
any rate, no harm TO the cause OF re-
trenchment can be done by the Dis
patchs suggestion that unless cuts can
be made to the amount of $4,000 per
annum, new subjects of taxation must
be sought for. We should suppose the
dread alternative we present would nerve
the hearts and strengthen the hands of
all true friends of retrenchment in State
expenses

THE DROUGHT.

The severity OF the long-continued
drought in this State may be best UNDER
stood by ones taking a look al 'he
James river above the falls.
Its rocky bed is exposed to view except
here and there where a comparatively
feeble stream winds It's way between
huge boulders.
II may well be doubted II ever within
the memory OF "the Oldest inhabitant.'
the James was lower than 1t Is at this
time. This indicates that dry weather
has long prevailed over large portion OF
Virginia. as 1t has. indeed. over many
States Of the Union.
Generally speaking. the drought affects
the whole country between the MISSISSIPPI
pi and the Atlantic. And II has also been
severe I'm portions OF the Union farther
west.
Many cities, towns. and country home
steads have had their supplies OF water
sadly reduced. and thousands OF farmers
and cattle-raisers now have to driye their
cattle long distances TO water them.
Here In Richmond our water-works,
which. in their enlarged form, were first
put into use during the drought OF 1881,
stand us in good stead, and we have
not only a reasonably abundant water
supply. but OF good clear water-a boon
not usually bestowed upon us for SO many
continuous weeks and months.

We understand the method OF working
prisoners in Albemarle county and Char-
lottesvile is little different from our
method here. If we are correctly In
formed, Charlottesville has some arrange
ment with the county by which the coun-
~ prisoners are worked with the town
prisoners, for the benefit OF the town.
What the terms are we do not know.
This arrangement simplifies matters and
reduces the expense.
Another feature in which they are In
advance of us Is their arrangement Tor
working prisoners in bad weather. They
have a large shed outside the town. under
which they haul stone, and In bad wea-
Their the prisoners are employed breaking
rock for the streets. They have broken
an immense amount of rock. and the
streets have no doubt received great bene-
fit from this work.-The Stanton News.
II the Legislature would allow prisoners
sentenced to the penitentiary for very
short terms to be added to such gangs
as this, the frightfully congested condi-
ton Of the penitentiary cells might be
relieved to a small extent.
We say to small extent" because
enough prisoners will have to be kept in
the prison to meet the engagements or
the State with the shoe contractors, and
this number, together with two or three
hundred other prisoners, whose presence
there will always be requisite, will pack
and jam every cell.
