Poetic Justice.

Considerable criticism has been eX-
cited by the fact that the Republicans
of Virginia have decided not to nomin-
ate state ticket this fall. The rea-
son given for this decision is that the
election machinery is so thoroughly in
the hands of the Democracy that a fair
count is out of the question and that
TO &C through the form of campaign
with no possible hope of winning, even
should the Republicans as matter of
fact poll majority of the votes, would
be simply source of useless expense
and evaporation.
We cannot call the decision wise or
the excuse adequate. If Republicanism
meant in Virginia what it should mean,
those who believe in it would fight for
their principles and their rights, to the
last ditch. Courts exist for the punish
ment of persons guilty of crime at
the polls, and if the courts do not ad-
minister justice in such cases there is
sufficient potency in the conscience of
public opinion even in Virginia to en-
able suitors with Just claims ultimate
~ 10 ItloTlu lHe courts ana 10 secure
an impartial hearing. Those who have
advised this policy Of cut and run in
the face Of obstacles are not chips of
the block of true Republicanlsm.
At the same time there is something
akin to poetic justice In the circum-
stance that the encouragement of the
Republicans of Virginia in party con-
f1ict comes not long after the refusal
of Republicans when in power in the
nation to take steps to make more pro-
bable in such states as Virginia a free
ballot and an honest count The fed
eral elections bill defeated during the
administration of General Harrison
would have enabled the Republicans
of Virginia to make a promising and a
comparatively easy fight for their
rights, Its defeat shut the door Of hope
upon the Republicans Of many parts Of
the south. They Of course should not
despair but they are not alone TO blame.

for former years. we shall have a sim
liar margin of profit and wealth will
resume its accumulation We have
also been saving money. We have been
accumulating capital. capital which Is
free from encumbrance, which is dis
posable to the best bidder. We have.
as a single item, added 5000 miles to
our railroad, and sS6O,OOO,O0O to their
capital and value. our savings banks
show similar increase, indicative of
much we do not see one hundred
and eleven million dollars measure the
increase in New York state alone. In
the banks of the same state s11S,000,000
have been piled up in excess of the
best previous prosperous year. We
have reorganized our great trunk lines
beyond the Mississippi on so sound
basis that the hope is not unreason-
able that they will never again need
it any more than will the Pennsylvania
railroad or the New York Central.
Whether the time has come for an
other period like that between the
years 1879 and 1892 we cannot be ut
terly sure, FOR while we can discover
the looming of the great headlands of
the shore we can never be sure of the
distance. Nevertheless, of this we can
be sure, some of the foundations
of prosperity have been laid broad and
deep, and il cannot be long before the
superstructure will begin to rise, a
superstructure worthy of the past, and
worthy of a world which, however it
may seem to falter, is always stead
lily advancing toward richer pros
perity and a greater civilizations"

For Uniformity in
State Divorce Laws
From the Times-Herald.


The American Bar association has been
moving for the adoption of uniform laws
governing marriage and divorce in the
United States At the last national con-
ventiOn held by the association a sub
committee on divorces was appointed to
investigate this subject and report to
the uniform law commission of that
body 1t has completed it's labors and
has submitted a report, which will be
laid before the association at it's pres
ent meeting. If the plan proposed meets
the approval of the bar association an
attempt will be made to induce the va
rious state legislatures to enact 1t into
law.
The bill proposed by the committee
does not aim to prescribe the causes for
which divorce may be granted, but
leaves this matter discretionary with the
various states. 1t is modelled after the
law In force in the District of Columbia
and lays down many requirements con-
corning residence notification, proofs of
marriage and the manner of hearing the
trial. In brief it provides for a resi-
dence of two years in the state in which
suit for divorce is brought, and requires
that the defendant shall be served per-
sonaly within the state unless he shall
appear voluntarily I'm the action. 1t also
provides that the court may order no.

1t is very fitting that the president of
the Universal Peace union now in ses-
sion ct Mystic, Conn, should bear the
gentle name of Love" Almost any
one would be willing and even anxious
to be called a man of peace IT, like
President Alfred II. Love, he could hope
to secure the interest of two million
dollars left by Alfred Noole, of Stock
holm, the income of which is to be
willed to the individual who has done
most for peace in the world. A petit
tion in favor of Mr.. Love and signed
by multitude of admirers will soon
be forwarded to the Norwegian Parlia-
ment, five members of which have the
awarding of the bequest.

AL He Asked.

The lawyers had badgered the juror
nearly to death with questions when the
judge finally took him in hand, relates the
Chicago Post.
You say you never heard of this case"
said the judge.
Nary d word of it. jedge. till [ came
into the courtroom, was the reply.
And you don't know either the plain
tiff or the defendant"
Never see either of EN- afore today"
DO you know either of the attorneys?"
Thank heaven, no.
Any of the witnesses?
Mary one.
Would you be prejudiced by the relig-
ious belief or nationality of either party
to the suit?'
Not a bit.
Then l should think you ought to be
able to give a fair and impartial hearing
to the evidence and render a verdict in
accordance with it without fear or ia
ledge, as things stand now 1 kin do
that very same thing, but I'm slfeared of
what may happen.
What can happen that will affect your
judgment?'
well, jedge' explained the juror, turn
ing to the court somewhat confidentially,
IF the lawyers behave themselves I'll be
a crackerjack juror: but it S my expert
ence in these here cases that one or the
other of EN- usually works in some smart
tricks that makes me so hoppin' mad all
the way through that ii warps my jedg-
ment, an then 1t jest comes natural for
me to watch out for q good chance to
give him the worst of it, and | amt no
kind of a juror to sit in that case. If
yOull jest see that the lawyers don
work in any blamed foolishness to rile
me, l reckon you'll find L m about as good
q juror as you'll find everywheres in this

LUETGERT'S TRIAL.
Brother of the Murdered Woman On
the Stand.

Chicago, Dec 1S.-Dietrich Byck-
nesse, brother of the missing Mrs.
Luetgert, was placed on the witness
stand today in the trial of Adolph l..
Luetgert for murder The testimony
did not differ materially from that
given by Bycknesse in the former trial.
He told of asking Luetgert on May
about the disappearance of his wife.
Luetgert said she had not gone away
with any man, as she didn't care for
men.
Witness said he had visited Elgin in
search of his sister, but found no trace
of her. On his return he asked Luet
CERT again about Mrs. Luetgerts dis
appearance. Luetgert replied that he
did not know where she had gone; that
he was very busy, and people could not
understand how much was on his mind.
He added that if he spoke the truth
people would not believe him.
If you do not report this matter to
the police, I will. I want it cleared
up" said Bycknesse to him. Luetgert
intimated that Bycl1nesse might do as
he pleased, and that day the disappear
ance of the woman was reported to
Captain Schuettler.
Louis Half, the draughtsman who
drew the plans of the factory for use
in the courts: Paul a. House, a news

tographer, who also made pictures of
the factory, and Captain Schuettler
were the other state witnesses

rounces that she expects to return to
