A SMART REPORTER.
The Bishop Did Not Think ST. Peter
Could Keep Him Out.

THE brightest reporter ever knew"
said q newspaper man, was Billy Gay
lor, who died at Hot Springs In 1895
he was a most persistent fellow after
an item, and that reminds me OF a 1T
tie story about the last incident OF his
career. He had been assigned by a
certain Chicago daily to interview an
eminent bishop about a schism in the
Church. The bishop didn't want to talk
and wouldn't see him, but Gaylor
bribed a servant to let him into the
hall, and he waylaid the dignitary as
he was coming through. He was or
dered out for his pains, but next day
he penetrated the house again on some
pretext or other, and was again fired.
HE repeated the exploit three or
four times with similar resulAe, and
at last the bishop coming home late.
at night, found Billy sitting in his
study reading the Bible. Nobody could
explain how he got in. but the prelate
wilted and told him what he wanted
TO know, on condition that he would
go away and stay away.
Shortly afterward poor Gaylor got
galloping consumption and died, and,
happening to meet the bishop at a
church conference, ] told him that the
young man who had once so molested
him would never do 1t again.
Let us hope that he is in heaven,
said clergyman standing by.
% No doubt ne is he replied gently.

$2.O4, and the custom duties then were

Europe, is quoted at $3.50, and the

freight, which would be a mere trifle.
This gives the American makers $145
more than foreign makers would

consumers have to pay more than

pardoned Tso MANY.

On Sunday the World catalogued
S49 pardons granted to criminals and
l29 combinations OF sentence by Pres
ident Mckinley during the two years
and five months OF his administration.
The list does not include the case Of
Commissary General Eagan, who, az
ter fair trial by courtmartial, was
sentenced to disgraceful dismissal
from the army, and whose sentence
the president changed into the reward
OF SIX years furlough upon full pay.
But 1t does include the pardon OF
sixteen bank wreckers aud a commu-
tation OF sentence in the cases OF eight
other men who as bank officers be-
trayed their trusts.
IL includes pardon In the cases OF
sixty-one and the Communication of
Twenty-Five sentences imposed upon
postmasters for embezzlement and
kindred crimes.
IL includes the pardon OF thirty
three counterfeiters and the tighten
Ing OF sentences upon fourteen others.
without going further into the cata-
logue 1t Is fair to ask why the Presi-
dent has come to the rescue OF these
Infamous scoundrels by the use OF his
pardoning power. Why has he grant
ed respite to bank wreckers and tho

Why has he impaired the integrity Of
the postal service by pardoning en-.
bezzling postmasters for crimes that
are objectionable? What possible
claim to clemency can any counter
letter have?
The pardoning power is conferred
upon the Executive for one purpose,
and only one IL is not intended for
the relief of criminals with or without

ings in equity are, to correct mistakes
and cure injustlces OF the law. 1t was
never meant in any constitution that
the Executive should pardon GRIM
mails. 1t was meant only that as q
last resort his power Of pardon should
rescue men unjustly convicted Of
crime.
In this view of the law and the
facts, President McKinley's wholesale

The Object of III.

The question is heard on all 81 les
now, "What is the Object of the Con
stitutional convention to be held in
Virginia." We are not prepared to
answer as to every question that may
come up before the convention, but
of one thing there Is no doabt. viz :
That negro suffrage will be restricted
or strenuous effort, at least, made
in that direction. This is a fact,
whatever else may or may not be
done. Hundreds of the best men.
North and South, believe that the
universal enfranchisement of the col
ored race was crime of great pro
portions and burden imposed upon
down troddcn people for spite and
political purposes. 1t has been the
cause of nearly all our political woes
In the South for more than thirty
years. The wonder is that the South
has borne the burden so long. South
Carolina, Mississippi and Louisiana
have moved in this direction. and it
is only matter of time when the
entire South will rid herself of a bur
den imposed by and through the in
fiuence of bitter enemies, and no one
but an enemy to the Southland and
designing politicians, the gratifica-
ton Of whose desires for office is de-
pendent upon the INSCRIPTIONS and
purchasable vote of the South. can
object to or oppose the object of the
convention. In tn language of the
Richmond Dispatch: "Let it be un-
derstood that we are going to deal
with the matter without any circum-
locution-that we purpose restrict
ing negro suffrage to its narrowest
limits-and Virginians will be found
who can, and will, frame a suitable
constitutional provision to meet the
object in view.'

The Next Town Council

The time for the election OF a
new Town Council is approaching,
and it is none too soon to begin to
give the matter some thought. 1t
is very gratifying to know that
from present indications there will
"be no politics in it, ALI right
minded men, it seems to us, should
feel this way about it. Thare
should be no politics in town aud
county election, ever. The next
council should be chosen with a
view to their business qualifications,
not their political views. Let a
meeting Of all the citizens be called
and ticket put out which shall
represent the entire town, and let
all the leading citizens be present
at the meeting.
The following have been suggested
as suitable men for councilmen
j. A. Greever, JAS. f. Hurt, ii. T.
Harman, w. L. Gillespie and Jno
w. Mccall, or G. Il. Patton, fol
lower Tazewell Avenue. We un-
derstand that Mr.. w. II. Gillespie
will not serve, and suggest the
name of w. B. f. White, in his
stead.
Capt. A. j. Tyncs, L. G. Dodd
Geo. w. St:Clair, Il. l.. Greever and
4. V. SPOTS have all been men
toned. Either one of them will
make good Mayor. Let the meet
ing be called at the proper time,
and a good ticket selected. If not
as mentioned above, then some
other.
