Public attention has been diverted from;
the elusive and delusive airship to the
tangible aerial craft constructed by Pro-
lessor Barnard. and which Is one OF the
attractions OF the Nashville EXPOSITION
The former has been cruising, or - al
legged TO have been cruising. around IN
the higher space for months, and whether
II has an existence or not. Its existence
or Imagination that 1t exists. has caused
great trepidation among the super
stitious. and brought many an upright
sober citizen under suspicion OF having
made a night OF It on something stronger
than water or lemonade. Indeed, the
elusive or delusve airshlp has wrecked
the regulations of whole prohibition COM
munities. seeing that the testimony OF
SO many reputable citizens u those COM
munities as to having sighted the wonder
suggested TO numerous rlbald and doubt
ing paragraphers that prohibition was
decidedly more honored in the breach
than In the observance.
But there Is no doubt about the ex-
istence and the tangibility of the Barnard
invention. Nor Is there any doubt that
the Professors ship rose into space
and cavorted around in the etherial or
semi-etherial domain for considerable
length of time. and until the breaking
Of propeller blade necessitated Its
making landing.
However. the main point Is that 1t Is
cllimed the inventor demonstrated on
the trial trip of the machine that 1t
could be steered in any direction re-
CARELESS. Of the "set' OF the wind, and
that 1t responded readily TO the pro-
polling power. How far the balloon
principle enters as a controlling princi-
pie into Professor Barnard's invention
we are not advised. Up to this time ex-
periments In aerostatic navigation have
not solved the problem of propulsion
against the wind. Despite the advances,
commencing with the Meudon expert
mems, that have recently been made In
ballooning and airship building, Andrea,
owing to unfavorable winds, was forced
to abandon his last years proposed polar
balloon expedition.
1t would, therefore. appear, that If
the claim as to Professor .Barnard's be-
ing able to navigate his ship in the face
of the wind is well founded, the Pro-
fessor has made a distinct and impor-
tant stride ahead of all other expert
ments in his line. 1t should be stated,
however that that claim is already an
tagonized by Professor Langley, OF the
Smithsonian Institution, and others who
have given the subject of aerostatic
navigation and all the principles In
volved therein long and careful study.

1t is a fact that there are people in this
State who think Virginia's interests In
her oyster property could be disposed OF
so as to pay 1.-THE bulk of the revenue
needed by our State Government. 1t Is
also a fact that more than one news
paper in Virginia has advocated the hold
ing of a constitutional convention. among
other reasons, in order that our Con-
stitution may be amended so as to adj
nit of a change of policy on the part Of
our State Government. OF course these
folk are INDUCING in idle dreams, but
they do not know It. On the contrary,
they think they are wideawake and that
the oystermen are the sleepy-headed fell
lows.

EOIN MORE.

The State newspaper yesterday pub
lished another batch of responses in re-
ply to the letter 1t addressed to public
men, asking their views as 10 our Demo-
cratic State Convention endorsing and
ratifying the Chicago platform.
We now hear from Congressman Rixey;
Hon. L. w. Saunders, Of franklin DR..
glastonbury, of Caroline, and Mr.. ]. G.
Pollard, of this city. All OF these gen.
tlemen express the decided opinion that
our State convention ought to follow
precedent in this matter. and some of
them argue that such action is more
necessary now than ever before.
1t is clear that an overwhelming ma
jority Of the members of our party de-
mand and expect the Chicago platform
to be ratified by the Virginia convention.
That has been our opinion all along, and
when the convention meets We venture
to say the delegates will be practically
unanimous in favor Of this course.

THE OHIO POTTER.

The Journal Of Commerce, in discussing
the outrageous and oppressive china and
crockery schedule in the Senate tariff
bill says that If the Ohio potters sue
coed in having imposed on the common
ware an import duty equal to 100 per
cent, their employees may at least
claim an addition TO their wages OF 30
per cent. as fair share of the protec-
ton which Congress has seen fit to
grant in the name of American labor.
But. adds our contemporary. 1t is hardly
probable that the potters will discuss this
subject with their men from the same
point Of view as that they adopted be-
fore the Senate committee.
Correct Precious little would the pas
sage OF either the House or the Senate
bill advantage the working classes.
Even If there should be a slight advance
in wages paid by certain industries
much more than the difference between
the advance and the present scales would
be filched from the pockets Of the wage
workers by the trusts and monopolies.
In some cases, the amount thus flched
would be treble the difference, and the
filching operation, mark you, would be
confined largely to absolute necessities
and comforts Of life. The more care
fully the protection scheme OF the Nc
Kinley Administration is examined
either in the light Of the House or Of the
Senate BILL the more clearly is proved
the charge that its operation would be to
extort from the masses the money to
pay back, with exorbitant interest, the
fund the monopolists and trusts in
vested in the last campaign in order to
secure Republican victory.

The Greeks will not have any great
deal of sympathy in their misfortunes.
They have disappointed the public. They
attitudinized beautifully as heroes of
the Thermopylean order, but they were
panicky under the fire from the long

rather too prompt to fly from Matt and

are to be charged to bad generalship

York is said not to meet with much
favor We should judge not, seeing that
1t appears never to have been demon

About the only thing that has been

is that nobody understands or can I'M
derstand what 1t is--if, indeed, 1t Is any
thing at all. Some years ago, during It'll
CATION to find out whether it was fraud
the Court directed Keely to explain the
secret Of the force and its operation in
secret to a master in chancery. But 1t
seems that Keely's explanation was an
explanation that did not explain. at least,
the master explained TO the Court after
his seance with Keely, that he could not
understand the explanation. and that the
secret Of the secret was as much secret
from him as it had ever been.

The Boston Transcript explains the mo-
city. in assuming all the expenses of the
defence of Bran, mate of the ship Her
bert Fuller. Mr.. Clark. says the Tran
script, has done similar things before at
great personal sacrifice. 1t is his de-
sire that every defendant, with whatever
crime he may be charged. shall be as
sured a fair and impartial trial. and
this, he knows. can only be obtained by
the use Of money. There are many
necessary expenses attendant on a trial
of great magnitude, which the government
will not meet. Realizing this, Mr.. Clark,
without attempting to determine in his
own mind the guilt or innocence Of the
accused, feels 1t his duty, as a man Of
property, to see that, in so far as II Is
in his power, no injustice Is done to the
humbest Individual. The columns Of
every days paper are scanned by him.
and he takes note Of the names of men.
women, and children brought before the
courts If he sees that they are In need
Of a friend, he is that friend in a practi-
cal and substantial manner. His phi
lanthropy is far-reaching and includes
every worthy case Of need Of whatever
nature that comes within his knowledge.
Nor, says our contemporary. does he
depend on agents for the distribution OF
his bounty, for he visits Jails. hospitals.
and other places where he thinks he can
be of service. distributing flowers and
speaking words Of hope and cheer. Last
year the expenses Of the first trip of the
floating hospital were betrayed by him.
and they will be again this year.
