ANDREW T.. ELLETT, SIR.

The memory Of Mr.. Andrew L. Elicit,
ST.. whose funeral took place yesterday.
deserves and viii hold a permanent place
in the history Of Richmond. Mr. Elicit
was one of the last of the class of old
merchants who, after the war between
the States. nothing daunted by the wreck
and ruin around them, encouraged the
younger men, and united with them in
reiaying the foundations of our city's
business and commercial structure. And
IN this work Mr.. Elicit was a master
workman, whose enthusiasm never cool
cd. whose energy never tagged, and
whose faith in the superstructure that
was to be reared on that foundation
never faltered.
Mr.. Enetts was an exceedingly intense
and sanguine nature, and 10 whatever he
undertook 10 do he addressed himself
with hs whole heart and mind. 1t was
his misfortune that the individual enter
prlses he builded should have been I'M
successful at the end. but the stones he
placed in the foundation of Richmonds
renewed prosperity are enduring, and all
that stands thereon is a monument to the
zeal, the public spirit, and the municipal
patriotism Of himself and his colaborers
ON that monument no name should be
inscribed in holder letters than that Of
Andrew l.. Elicit. 1t should be so in
scribed as tribute 10 a foremost citizen
among the foremost; a man Of affairs
who shirked no responsibility and stop
ped at no sacrifice that he believed would
conserve the interest Of Richmond, and
one from whose liberal sowing others
have reaped. True as the truest when
his State was in the throes of war, brave
as the brayest In facing the future after
the bosom Of fame had swept over the
city and left it in ashes, so long as
health and strength were his portion full
Of confidence that there was a great
destiny for Richmond and assisting 10
the limit of his ability to advance her to-
wards that goal, Mr.. Elicit as much as
any other man that ever lived in the
community made possible the rehabilita-
ton ana the progress we are enjoying
to-day.

rxr,NGLING ALLIANCES.

MIR. Chamberlain's suggestion al Leices-
fer as to the dosirabiity Of a new triple
pund--an alliance OF the Teutonic and
the two great divisions OF the Anglo
Saxon race--has created a decided stir in
several quarters. notably in Germany,
France. and this country. The German
press received the suggestion with aston
ishnent mingled with frigidity, although
as Mr.. Chamberlain said, an alliance be
tween Germany and Great Britain would
be a natural one. and IL is very probable
that 70 that complexion it Will come at
last. The effect of the suggestion upon
the French press was 10 make 10 a little
more hysterical than common, while the
American press was almost a unit in pro-
testing.
And the most striking fact connected
with the attitude OF the American press
is that some OF the most violent protests
have been made by organs Of our impe-
riaiis,ic administration. Nor have these
organs In ali cases confined themselves
to presenting their opposition IN serious,
sober form. Not few have sought to

our attitude has always been one OF

Power. But II appears to us that wheh
an imperialistlc paper inveighs against
Mr.. Chambcrlain's advocacy OF an Anglo
American alliance IL either bhndly places

illogical position or Is guilty Of the gross

II is not necessary that British states

manently on the other face Of the globe
conditions may be- brought about that
will practically force us TO make common
cause with Great Britain in preserving
the peace and "the balance OF power
in the far East. And by the same token
conditions may be brought about that
will compel us to make common cause
with our British cousins in the event that
the latter should get into far East war
As respects this matter the champions Of
Imperialism have been playing directly
into the hands of Great Britain, and their
protest against Mr.. Chamberlain sug-
gestOn is merely a matter of straining
at a gnat while they are preparing TO

The friends of children throughout our
land will be particularly pleased. espe-
cially at this season, when the little ones
claim first consideration, to learn from
the New York Journal Of Commerce
that recent statistics show marked de-
crease in child labor. The decrease,
however, is not so much due TO philan-
thropic considerations or legislative re-
strictions. as TO realization Of the fact
that juvenile labor is Improbable. The
natural carelessness of the little folk. as
might be expected, makes their work
greatly inferior TO that of older persons.
and too often they seriously iniure the
machinery OF large manufacturing plants
by their neglect or ignorance. But who
can blame them for these shortcomings
who, In fact, does not rejoice that these
same shortcomings have brought about
the results referred to?

LONG AND SAMPSON.

In his annual report TO the President
tho Hon. John ID. Long, Secretary Of the
Navy. argues that II Is the duty OF Con-
gress TO pass resolutions authorizing the
President to return thanks TO Admiral
Sampson and the officers and men OF that
feet for their valuable services. culmi-
mating in the battle in the bay OF San
tago.
Mr.. Longs devotion 10 Sampson and
opposition TO Schley are well known. In
the opinion of many persons. he has car
ried tho thing much too far. but we must
grant him the right TO view this question
as his judgment dictates. Nevertheless,
we must say that that view Is not the
view held by the reading people Of this
country.
II IS difficult 10 persuade the average
man or woman that an officer who, un-
luckily for himself was absent from his
command when a battle was fought was
the hero Of that battlel Yet n movement
made in Congress to exalt Sampson and
depreciate Schley may succeed If actively
backed UP by the administration. though
it would not reflect popular opinion.
IL any resolution IS 10 be passed 1t
ought 10 do exact justice to Sampson and
Schley both. 1t would be unbecoming in
Congress in the highest degree TO take
partisan position in this quarrel.
As a whole. the American people win
grieve TO see this wrangle revived but
we suppose II must be. The Sampson
contingent never will rest till they have
taken the judgment Of Congress. schley
has been sent far away from home. and
it would seem that his case Is 10 be taken
up and disposed OF in his absence.
All that his enemies - Washington
have done 50 far to detract from the
credit due Schley have but commended
him to popular favor and it may be that
the present movement will have similar
result. Meanwhile, let those who are
bounding him down look out for them
selves. They are assuming a great re-
sponsibilty, and may incur popular dis
pleasure TO degree they little. dream of
now.

Referring to the establishment of a G
per cent. rate by the Bank of England,
the Boston Herald notes that London
panic OF 1890. But our contemporary goes
on 10 explain that while the recent put
ting UP of the rate inevitable recalls the
Barring crisis. il must not be imagined
that 1t is likely TO be connected with a
financial crisis. There is nothing. adds
the Herald, in the monetary situation at
London that suggests a serious disturb
ance of credit. The Bank Of England is
taking precautions to meet any drain OF
gold that may come through the war in
South Africa.

It is not denied in any quarter. so far as
we are informed, that Senator Morgan.

Johnston. who is am out-and-out Bryan
