was unable to secure the Haytian CON-
mission for a colored applicant, and In
concluding his letter he confdes to his

THE TUCKER MEMORIAL.

A telegram in The Times of yesterday
announces hat Mr.. James c. Carter the
'Nestor of III New York bar. has contri-
buted 5000 towards the erection OF the
John Randolph Tucker Memorial Law
Building at Washington and Lee UNI
versity. The establishment Of this law
school at old Liberty Academy. which
was the germ first of Washington College.
and then Of Washington and Lee Univer-
sity, and the election Of the Hon. H..
st. George Tucker to fill the place OF his
lamented father, as Professor in that
school calls attention to one Of the most
interesting facts In educational history
of America. That there should have been
four successive generations OF fuckers
who were law teachers in Virginia. three
Of which were during their respective in
cumbencies were unsurpassed and we
may believe that the fourth will not be
wanting, is, as far as we know. an un-
precedented incident. All OF these teach
ers have in constitutional law been strict
constructionists, and have struggled to
limit the aggressions Of Federal author
ity. The great principle Of local self gov
eminent. called States rights, has never
In any of them lacked an advocate.
Whatever abilities the youngest OF the
fuckers may exhibit in the new Memorial
Hall, it is no disparagement to him to
say that he cannot surpass the accom-
plishments Of his father at Lexington.
Of his grandfather at Winchester and the
University of Virginia, and of his great
grandfather at Williamsburg.

Europe with two or three servants at the

At this time when there is so much real
suffering and distress In the land, those
who are c~haritably inclined no doubt feel
that there are thousands Of others who
have a stronger claim than Mark Twain
upon their bounty. II Mark Twain were
really suffering for the comforts Of hfe.
We have no doubt that his distress would
very promptly be relieved. But when his
trouble is simply a matter OF debt, when

he intimated that there was a laxity ON
the part Of Mayor Taylor. Chief-cf-Police

rying out the laws regarding the sale OF
liquor on Sunday, Mayor Taylor said to
q Times reporter yesterday: !.

ness and attends to II. l ave never heard
one word Of complaint against our eff
cient Chief. II Mr.. Beauchamp knows
Of such places as no refers to In his SER
mon. it is his duty to report them n
to assist the police in closing them up.
Personally, 1 neither drink. smoke. nor
chew tobacco, and the closing of every
bar-room in the city would In 10 way
affect me: but the only way to stop the
sale Of liquor is to stop It's manufacture
l believe the police are doing all they
can to stop the Sunday sale Of liquor,
and Mr.. Beauchamp and all other citi-
zsns should give them what assistance
they can"
Chief Howard said that his department
were very energetic in their efforts TO
keep all bar-rooms closed on Sundays.
The law Is detective he said, "and
we cannot do as much as we could with
a law that will allow us 10 enter their
places at any and. all times. The ordi-
nances say nothing of the sale OF liquor
on Sunday, but simply state that no bar
rooms shall be kept open on that day.
The police are doing all In their power,
and will gladly accept the assistance Of
Mr.. Beauchamp and all others"
In reference TO the matter Justice
Crutchfeld said that it was a well-knwn
fact that whenever n man was brought
before him, which was f~reqeuntly, charg-
ed with keeping his bar open on Sunday.
and the charge was proven, that no al

A coLoRED MANS SENSIBLE TALK.

Bishop Gaines. Of the Georgia African
Methodist Episcopal Church. has
recently written a communication
TO the Atlanta Constitution on
the subject of lynching. At the
outset he declares that 1t Is a great
injustice to the negroes of the South to
say tina because they have been so pro-
Munced in their denunciation Of lynch
law. that they are lin SYMPATHY with those
of their race who commit criminal as
saults. He says that the negroes recos-
nize the fact that "the whole race Is suf-
ferlng In the eyes Of the world through
tho conduct Of the vile ~scoundreis who
perpetrate these crimes" and he adds:
From experience and observation I
know this to be true. I for one am not
willing TO be thought In sympathy with
crime or criminals. n especially with
those OF the character / I'M now consid-
ering. II The colored people as q race
expect to gain the confidence and respect
of their white ~neignbors and to elevate
themselves In the scale of civilized life
they must emphasize In no uncertain way
their ACCUSATION OF the Mtre brutal Of
their race who commit the horrible Of
fences OF rape. arson and the like. There
must be no maudlin sympathy for such
characters who disgrace their own race
and bring the negro into shame and con-
<empt.
Bishop Gaines Is sensible. and his
brethren throughout the South will do
well to study his words. Such talk as
sass will do far nore thar the orcaniza-
tion Of societies TO prevent lynch law.
For all that Bishoo Gaines says. there
h ground for toe belief that the coiored
people have more sympathy with those
Of their race who commit criminal assault
than with their victims. for while there
