bear campaign against Peoples Gas
accounted for its point fall. Small de-
clines in railroad stocks were in SYM
pathy with London and reports OF un-
favorable conditions in crop districts.
Business was only moderate during the
selling and as liquidation was not
forced, the shorts commenced to cover.
Before the forenoon expired prices
were on the mend and there were indi-
cations of confident buying in spots.
Rallies were most pronounced In the
stocks which had suffered most earlier
and the general level was lifted above
last night. Conspicuous strength was
shown by Brooklyn Transit, Manhattan
and Consolidated Gas, the latter rising

sey Central then assumed a command

Revived reports were current OF Its
probable absorption by the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad In the interest Of the
Pennsylvania railroad. the latter being
credited with the dominant influence in
the management OF the Baltimore &
Ohio. No confederation Of the report
was had up to the close OF business nor
of the statement that an advance in
coal prices was imminent. CoincIdent
with the high price registered for New
Jersey Central. the July statement OF
earnings OF the road were reported
showing q decrease In gross Of only
ss.lo4. but reduction in net OF s26,S3O.
This showing and realizatlons forced
the stock off to 1856 at the close. Read

largely neglected and showed no incli-

about noon. This circumstance caused
small offerings all around In the final
hour and the market yielded closing

JUDGEJoHN W. RELY.

The people of Virginia, the place of
his birth and life-worll. and friends
all over the South, mourn the unex-
pected death OF Hon. John W. RELY,
one of the judges of the Supreme Court
of Appeals of Virginia. The Bench
and Bar feel most keenly his loss as
one of their most able and represen-
tative members.
Judge RELY. who was elevated to
the Supreme Bench of the State, as a
member of the Democratic Court that
succeeded the Readjuster regime. was
recognized as an able, painstaking
and thorough lawyer of ability and
learning. AS one of the Codiners of
the present Code OF Virginia, he left
In that well-known work monument
to his memory. AS judge upon the
Supreme Bench, his opinions reflect
the learning he brought with him TO
that high honor, as well as n conscien-
tious devotion to duty.
Judge RELY was Il typical lawyer. a
natural and upright judge, but even
these merits ana virtues did not out
shine his greatest glory-he was a
noDle-hearted and pure man.
Not. swaycd by passion, nor biased
by prejudice. his even balance in
thought, and clear powers of discrim-
ination and discernment, rendered val
liable his opinions and Judgment.
Men loved to honor and respect him
for his purity of mind and gcntleness
OF manner. Though firm as rock,
he was kind to a degree, for it is the
"bravest that are the gentlest.''
Throughout u long and active life, he
has ever maintained that high posi-
ton dictated by honor and honesty.
His life was free from hypocrisy and
cant. He had none of the elements of
the trickster or shyster, but exempli-
fled each day, that a Christian lawyer
was second only, in his opportunities
for doing good, to 4 minister of the
Gospel.

RANK DISCRIMINATION.

There is, 1t seems, one law for an
Apache chief and another for the Sui
tan of Sulu. And the law makes a
great deal of difference, particularly
in the number of wives that are per-
mitted. Thus, according to the Iowa
State Register, the government some
time ago issued ukase that the In
dians living on the reservation near
Wichita, Kansas, should be allowed to
have one wife only. The Indians
Kicked" but the government were
obdurate, and so the noble red men
We're corralled by the Indian agent
and told to take their choice OF all
their wives-a situation palpably not
without it's embarrassments for an af-
fectionate husband. Thus, Mario, the
Apache chief. had ten wives and was
negotiating for few more, when the
summons came to stand and deliver.
He chose the oldest and ugliest of all
his wives. Our contemporary describes
the scene that followed:
1.-TWO of his discarded wives. young
squaws of rather pleasing appear
ance, forthwith killed themselves.
Tall Elk, Comanche warrior, had n
nice bunch OF nine wives, and when ne
was forced to give up all but one, six
of the other eight killed themselves.
The discarded squaws We're sent away
to the agency building, where they will
be cared for by the government until
their reservation is thrown open for
settlement this winter. Then these
squaws will have money enough paid
to them to take care of themselves.
All in all six hundred squaws have
been discarded by the Indian warriors.
but they are not going to want for
husbands. for ii is said that the cow
boys are swooping in off of the plains
solve the servant girl problem by mar
rying squaw."
Now, wherefore, one law for the po-
tentate of Jolo and another for Apache
Mario. who is plainly heap big Injun
with a taking way?" Why should
the Mohammedan Sultan receive Il reg
ular stipend from the United States
treasury for the maintenance and sup
port of the dark-eyed hours who help
to speed time in the Sulu archipelago.
while the copper colored aborigne is
allowed but one squaw to carry his
wood. grind his corn and light his fire
out near wichita?
Mario and all his tribe should emil
CRATE, (crawl from under the frayed
edges of the Constitution.) and take
to the islands of the sea. where the
more wives a potentatc has, the bigger

In Kentucky the agglomeration of
negroes, mountain bandits and sore
heads, presently masquerading as the
Republican party. has been placed In q
most ridiculous position. This layout
devoted it's platform to denouncing the
Goebci election law. Governor Beck
ham has called an extra session of the
Legislature to repeal the law, and now
the Organs Of assassination" as Hon.
Henry Watterson has dubbed them, are
frantic at the prospect of being de-
prived of their thunder. Thus are the
champions OF civil liberty discounted
by the chance of getting what they
have been hollering for. To deprive q
Southern Republican of his opportunity
to cry fraud is like cutting the web of
a ducks foot.

JUDGE PRENTIS AND THE
SUPREME COURT.

The news Of the death of Hon. John
w. Rely, one of the Judges of the SUI
preme Court of Appeals, has brought
forward the name of Judge Robt. r.
Prentiss. of this Judicial Circuit, as
MS successor on the Bench.
1t seems to be the consensus of opin-
ion, that as much as this District
would suffer in the loss OF Judge Prem
tiss, II is n duty owing to him and the
State. that he be elevated to the Su-
prcme Court Bench. 1t was with an
effort that Judge Prentiss was per-
suaded TO give up lucrative practice
and accept the Circuit Judgeshp. lie
did it, and his friends in Tidewater
feel that there is an obligation upon
them TO reward him for the sacrifice.
as well as naming n Judge of whom
the State may feel proud. Politically,
this section is entitled to judge on
the Supreme Court Bench. Norfolk
and the Hampton Roads section. on
account of its varied industries and
multiplied interests, furnish much
business for the Supreme Court. In
fact, If any section OF the State is en-
titled to a representative, it is Tide
water Virginia. The appointment of
Judge Riely's successor is in the hands
of Governor Tyler. 1t can be said to
his credit that His EXcellency has ever
treated with fairness and equity the
interests of this section.

wALDERsEE's ASBESTOS HOUSE.

The Fatherland has never been noted
for its humorists. Even Emperor VIII
liam has appealed to the worlds sense
of humor unconsciously, If repeatedly
and irresistably. We all remember the
episode of the imperial breaches and
the gust of laughter that swept the
lands and seas until the worlds di-
aphragm was cramped. But through
1t all the war Lord bore himself with
the serene dignity OF the man who
doesn't know he has placard on his
back. Emperor William takes himself
seriously. very seriously, as BELTS n
great military chief. Apparently,
Count Won Waldersee. who has set out
to make a Cinnamon afraid to look at
a German for q thousand years to
come. also takes himself seriously.
How else should the Count be taking
along IAN asbestos house with seven
rooms and q bath room?" Has not the
Count heard of our own Doughty war
rior. who threw chunks Of lightsome-
ness into the Hispano- Yankee conflict
by setting out to do battle in a porce-
lain lined bath tubp Did the Count
not stop to consider what will happen
when he heaves in sight of that sec
ton Of the allied army composed of
the irreverent American, with his seven
room asbestos house with hath appur=
tenances?
Count Won Waldersee may be most
impetuous and ferocious warrior-we
are not saying that he isn't-but the
asbestos part of the stage business
looks a trlfie cumbersome for coun-
try without railroads, wagon roads, or
anything broader and better than
wheelbarrow paths. Not for one single
moment would we dare to criticise or
carp at this new chief, who is to SUI
persede American officers in command
Of American soldiers; but really that
Z seven-room structure OF asbestos does
not seem, as 1t were, to fit into the
scheme Of things. In all our limited
perusal of ancient and modern history,
we do not remember to have noted a
single recorded instance where a fierce
chieftain, dashing into the fray with
q seven-room asbestos house, not to
mention the bath, bore down all oppo-
sition in his fiery and impetuous on
set. But we may have overlooked the
precedents.
We are, Of course. living in strange
and strenuous times, when familiar
things are inverted and familiar in
stttutions subverted. So 1t may be ali
right to have American soldiers COM
manded by ferocious German war
5rior, IN a seven-room asbestos house,
with orders to spare nobody" 1t may
be all right, but it seems quecr-mighty
queer.
