HISTORIC SPIIs.

Miss NJ. \. p. Newton, chairman OF the
landmark Committee. had prepared a.
most interesting paper on Inc historic
Spots Of Richmond Which snouid De
Marked in Some Fittins Manner Mnicn
was read Among the spots mentioned
was the site Of the Belvldere mousse once
occupied by William BYRD. the FOUNDER or
Richmond. but which Is now the site OF
the State penitcntiary. As solution OF
this difficulty the suggestion was mace
that a tablet be placed on CANDLES Hill'
which is the only vacant spot near the
site Of Belvidere Tablets were also pro-
posed 20 be placed near Bacon quarter

NO NEGLECT.

We had hoped 20 report progress on the

the nature of the underlying soil that is
n it would furnish n good natural founda-
tion for the proposed protection work The
idea being that If II would not he would
be able to recommend an artificial founda-
tion that would ensure Dermanency for
the work. To make this examination.
special tools were absolutely necessary:
these were ordered at once but had not
been received on October 10th. this delay
being caused by revival Of prosDeritv's
overcrowding with orders those workshops
where alone these tools can be made.
THE RIGHT MAN.
Mir Yonee has kindly mot the Committee
and explained the delay IN the work and
we are an sure that he Is the right man
i'm the right place and that he will make
a good work when he can once begin II.

DEsPERaTE cosDirIos ONO

To show the alarm felt by the Hd-
minlstrAtion In the result OF the Ohio
election and the desperate means now
being taken to save the state to
the Republicans, one has but to refer
TO what is being done in Washington.
The whole Of the long list OF Ohio fed
eral Office holders in Washington, and
every man with q mouth 10 speak and
a dollar iu his pocket, has been order
ed 10 go TO Ohio ut once and turn the
the crank. Not only this, but the
treasurer of the Ohio Republican com
mittee, Burdell, has demanded that
they shall contribute largely from
their salaries TO save the state.
He explains 10 the office no ders that
they need not fear violating the civil
service law in collecting and sending
money for this campaign. and his cir
cular implies very clearly that Mark
Hanna and the president will stand by
all who take hand in this work.
The inference conveyed Is almost
equally clear that failure to contribute
money will be TO the disadvantage OF
the clerk receiving the notice.
Treasuxer Burdell admits the sever.
ity OF the hgft ahead OF the Republi-
cans, and the disaster that will follow
II the Republicans are defeated. He
says "a Democratic victory in Ohio
this fail will carry with 1t almost full
control Of the political machinery OF
the state, thus enabling the opposition
TO eAtrench itself for the presidential
campaign OF 1900"
Many OF the recipients Of this appeal
are terrorized by fear OF losing their
places il they do not contribute, and
no doubt good many thousands will
be turned into HAnna's slush fund.
AZ the circular is not signed by fed
erAl officer II is not RmenAble to the
law, but IL Ia in violation Of the spirit,
II not the letter Of the act. As the
president and his cabinet themselves
are campaigning in the west, that Is
supposed to be = sufficient hint to all
ofhce holders to get to work and the
circular means that those who cannot

to work for them or take the conse-
qaenees. There are various devices
for making = rebellious clerk suffer
other than dismissal His salary esn
be reduced, OF he can be refused pro,

work, Those who receive the circulars
are well aware Of the treatment they

A DkMooRATIC LEAGGE

The Leader would gladly second the
movement for the organization Of a
territorial Democratic league. The
times are propiuous for such IN organ
izAtlon. A national victory Is almost
assured In 1900 and thorough aud
complete organization Of the OklAho-
ma Democracy Is most desirable. The
Leader hopes Ia see the Democratic
papers Of the territory take the sub
ject up and urge il upon their Demo-
cratic friends in every county OF the
territory.

Columbus, o.. oct. 1.-THE first pub
lie utterance OF Judge William II. Day
who was president OF the American
peace commission concerning the de-
liberations OF the commissioners es
Paris. is contained in a letter written to
former Congressman ID. X. Watson cf
this city and read by him at repub-

Judge Day sets the reasons which Ia

that IL was never contended by the
American commissioners that ~, ~. /.
