Mr.. stubbs Explains,


To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
The Dispatch OF this morning mis-
quoted me. Internationally. OF course.
/ said on yesterday. that the Legislature
was Democratic In lS7-7s. but In 1579-'s0
the Legislature was controlled by Read
justers, and in 1sSl-'s2. the Legislature
was Republican. The people are clamor-
ing for retrenchment, but the bill Will
not retrench. You are cutting very deep
on the same county officers that the
knife was used on at the last session
viz: Commonwealth attorneys and sher-
iffs. Last session the fees OF the
Commonwealth's Attorney were reduced
and also the sum OF so that each was
entitled TO receive from Circuit Court
was cut off. We have able and efficient
Commonwealth attorneys In our portion
OF the State IT Is economy TO have an
able Commemorative Attorney: II IL ex-
pensIve and unwlse 70 have an indiffe-
rent Commonwealth Attorney. AS TO
the sheriffs, they are poorly paid. The
little bit of qualification and pleasure
they enjoyed only occasionally IN coming
10 Richmond was taken from them. The
constables and magistrates are poorly
paid and they are TO have the pruning
knife applied very deep. Also, clerks OF
courts come In for large share OF the
pruning process. All wrong. Don't COM
mence at the smallest officers; COM
mence IN the thousands and come down
to the hundreds. and on down to the
smallest Office. and then there will be an
equality In this reduction.

CAPTAIN PARKs's LECTURE.
He Repeats 1t Before Brilliant
Audience I'm the Hall of the House.

Captain r. S. Parks, of Page county
in the hall of the House of Delegates
last night repeated, at the special re-
quest of his fellow-members Of the Gene
raj Assembly Of Virginia, his. able and
eloquent lecture on the Life and Char
acter Of Robert T.. Lee"
The lecture. as will be remembered.
was first delivered before II. Il. Lee Camp
of Confederate Veterans, of this city, on
the recent anniversary Of the birth of
General Lee. and following the unstinted
praise which it ELECTED on that occasion,
the request for its repetition was made
and accepted.
AS was to be expected, a large and in
telligent audience, including, In addition
10 very large proportion of the men,
bers of the Legislature not otherwise Of
ficially engaged, large number OF ladies'
and gentlemen gathered to listen to the
distinguished statesman and orator.
1t was nearly half past 8 o'clock when
Captain Parks entered the hall, and was
greeted with a burst of applause. which
was repeated when he assembled the plat
form, after a most cordial introduction
by Captain Featherstone, member OF the
House from Campbell. who said that
the speaker, as one OF Lees officers. was
one who best knew whereof he so elo-
quently spoke.
Captain Parks, In opening his splendid
lecture, which has already appeared in
full in the columns OF the Dispatch. took
occasion TO thank those composing his
for their presence. but attributed
the generous proportions OF the gathering
before him not TO the desire to hear the
feeble words which he was about to utter,
bat to the admiration which one and all
had for the character Of the man whose
life was his theme.
Frequently, during the progress OF tho
the speaker was interrupted by
prolonged applause, and at its conclusion
a decided ovation was rendered him as
many of the legislators and others pres
ent came forward to shake his hand and
express their pleasure at having been
permitted the privilege Of listening to
him.

make the innocent suffer for the wrongs
of the guilty. He believed that the high
est duty sovereignty owed to its citizen
was protection.
Another point he made was that prob
ably TO meet increased expenses the
school fund would have to be used In the
counties. He asked If the patron OF the
measure had ever thought what would be
the effect of the proposed laws upon the
efficiency of the officers Of the Common
wealth. The bills were defective in their
titles. He wanted to know why the large
salaries Of other officers had not been re-
duced He would prefer to vote for bill
reducing his own salary than those de-
creasing the salaries of men who were
poorly-enough paid as 1t was. He defed
any one to support the constitutiOnality
of the proposed bills under their present
titles. He was opposed 70 the measures
because he thought they work a hard
ship in many of the counties, and were
unjust in their operation. That was not
the kind of retrenchment the people
wanted. They wanted reduction in their
tax-tickets.
Mr.. Cooke said that no one who knew
him would accuse him Of dilatory tactics,
as had been limited by some of the speak,
ers, and that If the House desired TO do
so, they cOulu take dCliOH Ut ouCc upon
the measure. He did not, however, with
draw his motion to recommit.
Mr. Saunders thought the bills should
be dismissed, and made motion to that
effect. but 1t was declared out Of order
by the Speaker.
Mr.. Withrow thought the enactment of
tho measures would be an injustice to
the border counties, and that they should
be recommitted, in order that all inter-
ests might be considered in perfecting
them.
GOVERNOR BUSHNELLS VISIT.
Before Mr.. Withrow had proceeded very
far in his argument, Mr.. Anderson an
nounced that Governor Bushnell, OF Ohio,
had just entered the hall. and Mr. Saun-
ders moved that the chair be vacated for
ten minutes. This was adopted, and as
tho distinguished visitor appeared in the
centre aisle he was greeted with pro-
longed applause. During the interval the |
members gathered around the visitors and |

Havana. Feb 22-The defeat OF the
Conservative wing of the Autonomist
party Sunday is considered the death
blow Of the colonial cabinet.
The amended program adopted by the
executive committee urges the Spanish
government TO make the following con-
cessions: Withdraw the Spanish army as
soon as the war is over: disarm the Span
ish volunteers. and create an insular mil
itary; modify the tariff clause 50 as to
remove all doubt that Spain may impose
her goods on the Cuban market TO the
disadvantage of the colonial trade. re-
strict the almost unlimited powers be-
slowed upon the governor general. reduce
to 500 O00 900 the liability of Cuba, as re-

on motion Of Senor GOWN it was re-
solved to increase the committee by fif-
teen, these places to be reserved for the
insurgent leaders and for political refu-
gees.
Senor Amblard was declared the new

Don't Deceive Reporters.

(From the Rome Tri5Ina.)
In his address to the New Orleans
Press Club, Cardinal Gibbons said: IF [
had one piece of advice to give a public
man more than another it is to be frank
with the reporter. 1t has been my privi-
lege and pleasure to come in contact with
and to know great number of reporters.
I have steadfastly adopted a policy of
absolute frankness with them, and l have
yet to have confidence betrayed. They
have never proved themselves unworthy
of the estimate | placed on them as gem
tlemen.
lit is the public man who conceais
whose every act of concealment is per-
ceived by the reporters-for, i'm the nature
of their business they must be quick to
perceive-it is this very concealment
which induces the reporter to further con
duct his investigation and often to get
wrong what had he been in the confidence
of the man whose manner had provoked
investigation, he would have understood
and written intelligently about. And it is
i'm this very manner that much of the
complaint against the reporters origi-
mates. Tell the reporter the absolute
truth. Never deceive them"
