,,o one rcioiccs more than The 1lmes
a., Che kind relations now existing be-
twoen the North and South ana we are
desirous That the last semblance OF Sec
tlonal prejudice shall be enaced. we
love 10 see the veterans of the SCUM
and the veterans of the north fra'of-
n,ze but we are firmly OF the opinion
thar that fraternity is not TO be pro-
NOTED by reunions between the veteran
examinations of the North and South.
There IS great difference between in'
diyidual relations ana the relations oil
organizations. individually the people
NJ the North and the people Of the
south are entirely friendly and can meet
together fin social Intercourse without
friction 9ut when organization meets
organization the case IS very diiieren''
During the war the individual wearing
nlue Jacket would frequently meet on
,tclot line the Individual wearing gray
iacket and the two would exchange
commodities and courtesies. There was
no feeling Of hostility between them. no
dirposition whatever 10 XIII each other
but when those individual soldiers re-
turned TO the ranks and the line Of
battle was drawn between the two
armies. they fought one another to the
death.
And so ii Is az this day. A thousand
Northern fen might seyerally come to
Richmond from time TO time and enjoy
our hospitality without reference ON
either side TO unpleasant topics but
when these same men como TO as as a
Grand Army organization they come rep
rosenting an idea that rouses all the old
Adam I'm every Southern man who saw
service In the war between the states.
And what IS true of the South is true
~ the North. The Templars Of the
North. tho Ancient and Honorable Ar7
tiuery Of Boston, and other such or
Plantations have visited Richmond time
and again and everything was lovely ON
the other hand Richmonders have visited
Boston and other Northern cities and
have been received with open arms. But
when the Grand Army Post talks about
coming 20 Richmond and when Picketts
men 20 up 20 Philadelphia the trouble
begins. old animostes that have been
slumberlng are suddenly awakened into
vigorous action.
Nobody IS 10 be blamed for this, and
nobody. IN our opinion, IS TO be con-
demnod. But Il IS nevertheless unfor-
tunate that Philadelphia veterans should
grumble about entertaining Picketts
men and that the Confederate veterans
OF Richmond should refuse 20 extend
welcome TO a visiting post from the
North. The sensible thing TO do IS to
give up all idea Of reunions between
organized bodies Of Northern and South
ern veterans. stop trying to mix the men
together as organizations. Let them come
together as occasion offers as individuals
and sectionalism aud sectional prejudice
will soon disappear.

Russia. and Germany will hardly miss
that opportunity TO even up her old
scoree with France. and when those four
Powers are at Il the rest OF Europe Will
inevitably be drawn in as o matter OF
conformity. II nothing else. /, does look.
therefore as II the threatened European
war was about TO materialize unless Rus
eta incontinently backs down from the
position she has assumed ever since she
dictated the terms Of the Chino-Japanese
treaty Of peace Her Interference then
was entirely arbitrary. and Ler conduct
ever since has been Of the same charac-
ter. win she play her hand TO the end.
or will she respond 10 Englands challenge
In kind?
We are disposed TO think she will back
down. because she Is no sort Of match
for England in the kind OF war they
would have. even with her ally France.
Tho war would be exclusively upon the
ocean. and we feel that we venture very
little IN saying that England can whip
France and Russia upon the seas and
not find herself very much taxed AZ shat.
II anything has been demonstrated by
our war with Spain It IS that the Anglo
Saxon Is the ruler OF the waves. and that
an the other races Of the earth will best
consult their own safety II they leave the
Anglo-Saxon alone when they meet him
upon the high seas. France and Russia
have. together. a navy which IS as great
upon paper as England's but a navy upon
paper and a navy upon the water I'm
battle with men who know how 10 fight
and are perfectly willing TO do IL, are
two OF the most essentially different
things in this world, as our little inter
views with Spain have shown. The Eng
I.shman viii defeat the Frenchman and the
Russian when he meets them upon the
ocean just as we defeat the Spaniard and
tho war will be over before the Russian
and the Frenchman have realized that 81
had well begun. We never have credited
the Russian with being fool, and we
cannot help thinking. therefore, that he
IS going to pocket his pride and behave
himself in the way England has suggested
TO him.

For Improved Relations bctween
Whites and Blacks.

Editor OF The Times:
Sir-There IS one thought in connec-
ton with the South bearing upon ana I'D
relation TO negro education. moral ana
industrial training-such as is conlem-
plated I'm the scheme of the Negro Re
f0rmatory Association of Virginia
which is the nurture and growth OF
friendly feeling between the blacks and
the whites who are neighbors in the
South as nowhere else ln the United
States. in this connection I am force
fully reminded of "a like opinion express
cd by the Hon. Samuel Phillips. late So
Ucitor General of the United States, from
North Carolina. Said he i'm a. CORES
pondence with me relative 20 the de-
cision Of the United states Supreme
Court. Chief Justice Waite presiding,
against the cOnstitutionality of the "civil
rights bill". after all, as much as you
may regret this decision, from which l
dissent with Mr. Justice Harlan and the
minority of the Court, you must admit
that decisions Of the courts and laws do
not make people neighbors. and unless
one can be neighborly with his neighDors
IL is better for him and them 90 part
company.'

quoted. since l haven't the letter 10y me.

sienkiewicz.s Method of Work.

Sienkiewicz'S method Of making
book is as follows: He works out de-
tailed plan. and writes it down careful
ly. He fixes this in his head, and lets
II "Seethe and ferment' there, as he
says. When ready to begin work, he d.
vides his time, not into days, but weeks.
During the first week he produces q
certain amount, the second week sim
liar amount. and so on, week after
week. He writes without correction,
and never copies, producing just one
manuscript-the one which he sends TO
the printer. Each weeks work contin-
ueS that of the preceding week. Though
the plan of the book is elaborated care
fully in advance, this plan is not fol-
lowed strictly; from the ''seething and
fermenting" in his head changes are
suggested to the author. and he makes
them. He has no secretary, amanuen-
sis. copyist, or assistant.
To write such books as he does with
out copying or correcting. to create.

by q series of efforts, each one Of which
gives 4 finished part, and each part be-
ing seamless and fiawless continual
ton of the preceding. till the last, to-
gether with all the others, forms a COM
plete, unbroken whole, is perhaps the
most amazing tour de force in literary
experience. SienkiewicZ employs no
man or woman TO help him. He makes
all literary researches himself; visits
and studies the places which he needs
to see; and when writing in Switzer-
land. Italy, France. or other countries,
takes with him all the books he re-
ouires, and shuts himself in with them
during working hours, which for him
are from eight or nine till lunch at one
o'clock, and then a couple Of hours later
on. He never writes after dinner in the
evening. and has so ordered his works
and days" that he needs no assistance.

Planning the Meals.

The average housekeeper finds that
her memory is shortest when it comes
to the daily planning of meals. Her
frequent cry that she cannot think Of
anything to order never seems to be
Suggestive to her of its own remedy.
She has ordered and does order every
day the round of family living, and
if when the process is over she would
arrange in a little book kept for the
purpose the chief dishes that have ap-
peared on the table during the twenty
four hours, she will find that she
quickly accumulates valuable memoir
abilia. Instead of cataloguing these
dishes under Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday, it is simpler to classify them
breakfast, luncheon, dinner; sub
stantials and desserts. A housekeeper
who has practised this plan since the
beginning of the year has over and
over again been amazed to discover
how the useful simple dishes escape
her memory without it.
