IMPARTIAL HISTORY.

Among the questions to be considered
n. the annual reunion Of United Con-
federata Veterans at Nashville June I'd
2sd ard oath. is that OF the best method
of securing impartial history. That no
time should be lost in this matter Is
emphasized by the fact that the 'fahu
Army OF the Republic is said 10 De ar

the schools. such as no southeTh poy
or girl could read without concluding
that the Confederate leaders ana sol

But what we expect through the labors

scope than those just referred to-a his

connected with the war itself, but deal
clearly and impartially with the const-

the threshold. They owe this not only
TO the memory Of the Confederate cause
but to truth in the abstract, and to the
South's ante-belum past, the fortitude
she displayed in the immediate post-bei-

future Of the Republic; they owe 1t, In

world may pass unbiased Judgment upon

our case before the world fully and clear
ly and impartially. we need not have
the slightest fear as TO the final verdict

Judge Tredway's Interview.
Qanyille Reg ster.)

kDdHfiiic isSb SANAD
In Sundays Dispatch is the report OF
an interview the Radford correspondent
of that paper had with Judge James l..
Tredway on the gubernatorial situation.
The Judge is referred to by tine CORES
pondent as a prom nent politician. The
interview does not speak well for Judge
Tredway's astuteness as politician. lie
says or is made 10 say, things that
must. in the nature OF the case, bring

nomination has been a very friendly one,
entirely devoid of that bitterness when

The Register has no candidate, but we
could wish that the contest would re-
main friendly. even brotherly, to the
end believing 1t would be better for the
candidates, for the party, and for the
State.
Judge Tredway's interview Is not cal
cuated to promote harmony and good

Recent legislation at Albany goes to
show that the New York City Gas Trust
has a deadly grip upon the Legislature.
The House a few days ago passed a bill
in the interest OF cheaper gas, but 1t was
no sooner done than the Gas-Trust's men
rallied, and the action taken was recon-
sidered. Then bill that the trust
favored was taken up and passed.
Things OF this sort make the people
Of New York wish that their gas was
manufactured by the city rather than by
private corporations.

The amendments TO the Raines excise

to be broken up, and the reins are tight

a SCENE OF ACTIVITY.

The headquarters of the fair assocla-
ton, In the rear Of Mckevitt's, on Main
street, were the scene OF great activity
yesterday. Mr.. Mariner, MIR. Coleman
and others were 'busily sending out the
brilliant hued posters that are to tel
the people for some hundreds OF miles
around this city Of the attractions that
are going to be here during fair week,
and no one who never saw such work
can lave II idea of the great amount
Of paper required.
Some OF them are very attractive IN
deed and that depicting the famous
horse Earthquake Pilot, who, undriv6el,
goes around the track every day Of the
fair and has n record on similar occa-
and unbridled Is especially so.
Mr.. Mariner expects to have even
greater attractions than have yet been
announced and will have them, but
seems careful to not make any prom
ises until these have actually been Sc
cured beyond the possibility Of a
'hitch."
There Is an u~ndercurrent OF cn,hu-
sism evident In the conversation Of
every one cornccted with the nag
ment Of the fair, and It Is evident that
there are some better things to come
than have rs yet been told. One of the
interesting facts In connection with the
fa!r advertising IS that on some OF the
paper n weather Is promised to be
fine This, II seems, Is not humorous.
but Is the solemn promise OF the Wealth
or Bureau. which evidently means TO
carry It out.

Inc enterprise or JOhn Mariner-He
Should Be Supported.
Norfolk, Va. Sept. %, 1897.
Editor virginian:
It is generally known that the second
annual fair Of the Driving Club and
a Association OF Norfolk Is to be
held October 9Th to the 18th, but II is not
known to what extent arrangements
have been made to present an extreme
ly attractive exhibition in every partlc-
ular.
Mr.. John Mariner, the president Of the
association, deserves great credit for
the vast undertaking, and assuming al
most the entire responsibility Of the out
lay, which Will exceed ninety thousand
dollars. Never before In my recollection
have I heard Of any one man in Nor
folk with such enterprise as John Mari
ner possesses. Indeed, Norfolk is fortu-
nate to have such q nan in its borders.
The main building at the fair, which
is made Of steel. is four hundred feet
long and n hundred and sixty wide,
and 1T will be entirely filled with large
and attractive displays from different
sections Of !the country. Our citizens
who will attend the fair will be aston
she'd with Its aGtractiveness, and com
plimentS will be paid to John Mariner
by all who see the fair.
The merchants OF Norfolk should do
their utmost to assist in bringing their
friends n acquaintance TO the city to
attend the fair.
If there was ever a man in Norfolk
who deserved success. John Mariner is
that man. No doubt many of our mer-
hants Will after they have seen the
fair be so favorably impressed that they
will buy tickets Of admission by the
dozen and give their employees a day
off to attend the fair. Every citizen
who has the material interest of Norfolk
in his heart should give the fair his
substantial support.
