never was a stronger illustration Of this
fact than the recent incident at Fairfax
Courthouse. Several days before a negro
had been lyncbed in the city OF Alexan-
dria. and as soon as that Job had been
done. the minds OF the people turned at
once toward the negro In the Fairfax
Jail. charged with similar offence. The
spirit OF lynching had taken hold OF the
people of that community. and, in spite
OF the fact that the negro at Fairfax was
on trial. the people gathered in large num-
bers about the courthouse. and an at
tempt was actually made to put rope
around the prisoners neck while seated
in the courthouse. and to lynch him In
the presence of the court
1t is with great sorrow and humiliation
that we record such things In the STATE
OF old Virginia. To have attempted to
lynch prisoner within the sacred pre-
circts of the courthouse and In the very
presence OF judge and jury was not eniy
an audacious violation of law. but show
cd an utter disregard for its sanctity that
is most Iamentable. What can law
abiding people think about TO countenance
such a thing, How can law-abiding men
EXPECT those who are by nature lawiess
to respect the law when they themselves
hold 1t In such utter contempt?

We are gratified to see that the posi-
ton OF The Times in the matter OF
history OF the late war is being cordially
approved by the Southern press. one
Of the most sensible articles that we
have seen on the subject is from the
Florida Citizen. The Citizen takes the
same view as The Timcs-that history
written to order for the Grand Army OF
the Republic will be written 10 please
the Grand Army people. while his
tory written to order for the Confede-
rate Veterans will be written 10 please
the Confederates. Promise patronage
TO guarantee a remunerative sale" says
the Citizen. "and you can have books
written by the same men, equally plau-
sible, equally sectional. but both thor
oughly worthless. Money can give us
such books as these, as 1t can give US
a patent medicine pun. but it cannot
make history or write it," And the
Citizen adds:
lie VINO is anxious to forestall the
judgment Of history has weak mind
or bad conscience. No cause is ever
settled iii it is settled right. No history
can endure unless it tells the truth.
No genius nor skill nor power nor fame
can change truth into falsehOod Tor
long. No man need fear the final judy
ment of history unless his works be bad.
The histories taught in English schools
to-day are more eulogistic OF Washing
ton and jefferson and the cause for
which they fought than our own. The
course of the English King and Ministry
leading up to our Revolution is more
strongly denounced in English schooi-
books than in our own.
Why? Because at first the opposite
was true, and English children were
taught as these old soldiers would have
their grandchildren instructed-to imbibe
prejudice with their mothers milk. The
reaction has now set in. and an extra
effort Is made TO overcome hoary fast
ties and old prejudices.
So 1t will be here. There is no need
that either side be ashamed of the great
events which made the history of TINS
nation from 1860 to 1865 Prejudice may
postpone the day. but the truth will be
written. and will be accepted az such.
we can collect the materials. and pre-
serve them for a better day.
It would be useless repetition for us
to go over the ground again, for we
have said more than once, what the
Citizen so we'll says in the above, but
the Citizens article is none the less In
teresting as showing that public senti-
ment is gradually crystallizing, and we
believe that the time is not far distant
when there will be a general demand
from all sections Of the country for
fair and impartial history of the war
which shall give the exact facts, moth
ing extenuating. nor setting down aught
in malice" Hitherto there has been
demand from either side for a purely
sectional history. and the demand has
been supplied. Hereafter, and we hope
a. no distant day. there viii be gen
eral demand for a non-sectional history
and when that demand exists. the sup
ply will soon follow.

LUDGE CLAKK,S ADDRESS.

II was a pleasure TO have had with us
in Richmond last night Judge Walter
Clark. of North Carolina. and to have
graduating class of the University Col
lege Of Medicine, which we print in full
to-day. His tribute to Virginia was such
as we would have expected from high
minded generous North Carolinian and
we feel sure that Judge Clark will not
take il amiss that we must dissent from
some things that he has said.
lie declares that the people are restless
and that the conflict of idea. the conflict
OF interests Is more intense and more
real at every point OF contact than that
which Mr.. Seward proclaimed an ire
pressble conflict" in 1850. The vital
question of the day. he goes on. which
this country is called upon TO determine
is "Where shall the governing power re-
side" Shall il be in men or in money"
Judge Clark in discussing this question
strongly intimates that the people are
controlled by the money power that
state Legislatures and the National Con
gress are manipulated i'm the interests Of
great combinations of capital and that
even the judiciary Is largely created in
the interest of corporations We cannot
assent to this 1t is a pessimistic view
and does injustice 10 the body polite OF
this great republic. There are corrupt
men in Congress now as there have al
ways been. There are corrupt men in
state Legislatures as there have always
been. II may be that there are corrupt
judges. But that they are as a whole
the creatures and tools OF wealthy cor
porations is not true. There are those
among the people who sell their votes
and there are those who are tainted with
.he spirit OF Socialism. But they are
the exceptions. The spirit of liberty and
of honest American manhood is just as
strong to-day as II was In the early days
Of the republic and nothing rules in this
country but the people. They are not
slaves to the money power or TO any
earthly power. nor are their representa-
bench, except in rare instances. corrupt.
That there is something wrong, some
thing radically wrong, in business
conditions we do not deny.
The difficulty is that the people
do not know what that something
is and what is the remedy therefor. and
in their distress they have suffered them
selves TO be led astray by demagogues.
But some day the remedy will be found
and when II is found the people will apply
f. in spite of the money power" on the
one hand or the demagogues on the 9TH
er. The people rule and will always rule
in this country.
OF course We shall not go into a general
discussion OF Judge Clarks interesting
address. but we think we may say this
much in a general way without violating
the prophecies toward distinguished
guest whose presence in this city has been
so much enjoyed.

"A Rejected Lover W ounds "A Girl and Then
Spares ber Lille.


FRESNO, CAL, April zs.-Ihe worst
crime in California since the murdes
OF six members OF the Nc
Glincy family. near SAN Jose, by Dun
ham, was committed early this morning.
at Red Banks. in this county, by James
Brooks, farm hand, who dangerously
wounded Mrs. John Qualls and her
daughter, Lulu, with shotgun, ana
then committed suicide. Brooks Was
formerly employed on Qualrs ranch. but
was discharged because he annoyed Luiu
after she had rejected his love proposals.
The man became crazed with disappoint-
ment, and threatened TO shoot the giri.
whereupon her father had him placed
in jail.
Recently, before Brooks sentence had
expired, Mr.. Qualls went on his bond
and the prisoner was released. lie
went TO work ten miles away.
At o'clock this morning, in the alb
sence Of Mr.. Qualls. he broke open the
door Of Qualls house with hatchet'
Lulu heard the noise, and, getting up
met her discarded lover in the hall.
Say your prayers" he shouted ioi
I'm going TO Kill you
The girl pleaded for mercy, but wheh
her mother appeared, Brooks calmly sho'
the woman down. Lulu sought refuge
in the bedroom, boiling the door put
the maddened man broke down the door
and. despite her pleadings, shot her, the
charge SCATTERING her right arm. Then
he grasped a Ratchet, and prepared 10

'If YOU love me. Jim. don't Kill me.

Plan of Settlement.

Editor Of The Times.
sir.-The card Of Mr.. John SHELTON
Williams either raises question OF
veracity between him and me- or there
is some juggling OF language which l
may not have capacity to understand.
Discussion Of this matter is a waste OF
time and would serve no good purpose.
and l do not care 10 think Mr.. Williams
states anything which he Is not convinc-
ed IS correct
So in order to settle the matter quickly
and effectually, l propose that you select
a committee Of three gentlemen TO whom
the two cards shall be submitted, and
the writer Of that card which does not
prove the correctness OF his statements
shall pay $50 each 10 the Old Dominion
and the Virginia Hospitals as soon as
judgment is reached.

LABOR AND MACHINERy AGAIN.

When We wrote the other day or
labor and machinery. We had not seen
an interesting article on that subject
from Mr.. L. Lavasseur in the Annals
of the American Academy" He also
thinks that improved machinery Is
blessing to humanity, and the friend rath-
er than the enemy to the workingman.
Mr.. Lavasseur goes into statistics
which we shall omit, but he notes the
fact that the United States and Great
Britain own and use the most machinery
OF all countries, and that the general
condition OF laborers in these countries
is far better than in countries where ma
chimes are unknown except in the most
primitive forms. He dwells at length on
the point made by The Times that ma
chimes really bring about a much larger
employment, not only because OF the
increased production. but because they
multiply the chances of employment and
incidentally the consumption of pro-
ducts. In fact. he says. the census OF
the United States shows that the pro-
portion OF laborers 10 the total number
OF inhabitants has increased in the same
period that the machine has taken most
complete possession of manufactures. He
calls attention to the fact that inven-
tons have created new Industries. such
as photography. electricity. electric-typ-
ing. manufacture OF bicycles. &c.
We stop here to mention the increase
in the number OF men employed on the
street railways of Richmond now as
compared with the early days OF street
railroading when horse power was used
The use of electricity as motive power
has increased the number of passengers
carried many fold. and necessarily the
number of employees.
In conclusion Mr.. Lavasseur says:
There Is no social evolution that does
not produce friction. That which urges
Industry toward machinery and large fac
tories appear to me to-day irresistible
because II leads TO cheapness, which the
consumer seeks first of all, and which
Is one OF the objects OF economic ciyili-
cation II is Utopian TO believe that the
world could come back by some modih-
cation OF the social order or az mechanl-
cal motive powers. to the system OF the
little family workshop. Such a workshop
is far from being an ideal, as the sweat
ing system proves.
There is no escape from this conclu-
sion.
