Poe and EinNNtnOTMc.

In March of this year, Prof. W. p Trent
delivered before the iyceum at Richmond,
Va, q lecture on .'Poes Rank as a Writ
en-" which is printed in the August num-
Der of East and Vest The question OF
the claims of Poe and Hawthorne 10 the
first place among American authors is LEFT
unanswered by Prof Trent, who holds
that Our safest course, perhaps, is to
bring in noncommitaI verdict Ir,d to de-
clare the two writers 10 be of equal emf

is more with Poe than with taWth orne
Poe has already Influenced other se;Ga-
tons Of English and American writers and
has impressed himself upon fore ga tier

is set out Of space-out of tlme'-no

cause his greater literary influence and the
compleX.ty OF tho problems connected with
his name and work will give him an in

Ha will have the support OF the poetical

A SUBJECT or CONGRATULATE \

The Times is genuinely glad, and we be-
lieve that the people of the community
are genuinely glad. chat the street car
question has been disposed of and that
the Richmond Passenger and Power COM
1any now has full right and title To the
lines OF the Richmond Railway and Elec-
trio Company. That company is represent
ed here by Richmond men of high staining
and of strict integrity, men who them
selves have large interests in Richmond,
and we believe that these men will act in
good faith with the city and that they will
give, a first-clasS street railway service.
we do not conceal the fact that we believe
If were better for the community If all
the railway lines OF Richmond and vicinity
were under one management. but there
were 50 many conflicting interests that
there seemed to be no way to effect sat
isfactory consolidation. and we believe that
the Council under all the circumstances
has done the best thing that could be done
for the municipality and for the conven-
fence Of the public.
The Richmond Passenger and Power
Company starts out well. Immediately
after the action of the Board Of Aldermen
last night concurring in the action of the
Council recognizing the Passenger and
Power Company as owners Of the property
of the Richmond Railway and Electric
Company. it was officially announced that
an all-night car would be put on the
Main-Street line and that the straight fare
on the Clay-Street line would be reduced
10 three cents This announcement comes
people. and will be the mole appreciated
in that these concessions were not made
until the Passenger and Power Company
received from the Council all that it had
asked for. 1t will indeed be great con-
venience to tse public to have an all-night
car on the Main-Street line. and it will
be more than a convenience to the people
to have the fare on the Clay-Street line
rduced almost one-half.
Now let the Passenger and Power Com
pany go to work in good earnest, tear up
that wretched nuisance, the Bank-Street
track, put all its tracks in good order and
equip its lines throughout with frst-class
cars, similar to the new cars which have
been put on, then give the people a quick
and safe and comfortable service. This
done. the Passenger and Power Company
will soon have the hearty good will Of the
community.

Mater From River Jor0 Ian.

The main auditorium of the First
Presbyterian Church was the scene on
Sunday morning of an interesting cere-
mony. 1t was the first baptism that
had ever taken since in the new build
ing. and the candidate for baptism was
the infant daughter OF DIR. and Mrs.
Thomas J. Kirkpatrick and grand
daughter Of the late Major Thomas j.
Kirkpatrick, who for many years was
an elder in the First Presbyterian
Church and superintendent of the Sun
day school. These facts naturally rem
dered the occasion exceedingly interest
ing and touching. The little ch.lds
father. DR.. Kirzpn trick, is a surgeon in
the United States army, and for some
time past has been stationed at Fort
Meyer. near Washington. He is eX-
pecting al any time TO be ordered TO
China in connection with the present
trouble in that country, and it was
his wish to have his child baptized in
the First Presbyterian Church, and this
is why it took place on Sunday morn
ing. The little child was christened
Fortunate Kirkpatrick after her
grandmother. Mrs. FORTUNATE kirhpat-
rick, of this city. The ceremony was
performed Just before the morning SER
vice by Rev. DR.. Doggett. of Chatham,
who filed the pulpit Of the First Pres
byterian Church on Sunday in the alb
sence of the pastor, Rev F. I. Nc
Faden. The water used in the baptism
was taken from the River jordan, in

the least HARM
We have frequently quoted in these col
umns the remark OF Mr.. Buckle, in his
English Civilization, that the great work
which the law-maker has done has been
in repeating and undo;ng what some pre-
vious Iaw-nlaker had done. We don't know
whether Sherman ever saw this wise and
philosophical remark of Buckles, but ne
plainly was penetrated by the same idea,
and it is absolutely SO. The lawmakers
part is to raise revenue for the Govern
ment and provide police rules for the pres
ervation OF order and of peace, and when
he has done that, he has done al! that ne
can do He cannot open mine or make
a blade of grass grow, and everything he
does beyond raising revenue and preserving
order is a serious interference with the
development of civilization and progress,
which natural laws would produce if he
would keep his hands off. Cynical and un-
candid, therefore, as old Sherman's letter
is, he will have done a useful act if he i'm

WHY GENERAL SHERMAN WAS
NOT PRESIDENT

The August number of the North Ameri-
can Review has most readable out cyni-
cal letter from the late Gen. w. T. Sher-
man 10 ex-senator John r. DoolitEle, of
Wisconsin, dated al ST. Louis. June 10th.
1854, setting out to Senator Doolittle the
reasons why he refused TO allow lin: elf
II be nominated for President by the Ee
publican Convention of 1884 The Review
states that this letter has :.e:ac before
been published. The reason which General
Sherman gives is rather odd, but such as
it is, we state il He said that the act OF
Congress had retired him from the COM
mand Of the United States Army because
he had passed the age of 81. and that this
act Of Congress had his heartest approval.
Hs had seen officers hold on to their COM
missions after they had passed the age of
usefulness, notably General Scott, and he
thought il wise in the law to retire an ON
Ger compulsorily before he got old enough
,bs serile without knowing il. NOW, says
Sherman, if 1 was TOO old to command the
United States Army of 2S,eoe, was Ger
tainiy too old to become Commander-ln-
Chief Of the Armies and Navy OF the
United States, which the President must
be.
That does well enough for make-shlft,
but we have strong suspicion that the old
man was coniuring up some reason Tor
hayin. declined something that was never
offered him. although he adds in MS letter
that a friend had told him that the strife
between Arthur and Blaine would probably
become so fierce in the convention that his
name would probably be brought forward
in spite OF himself AS TO this, he says
that ha furnished this friend with letter
Ia be read to the convention. stating that
If they dared use his name without his
consent, he should let them hear some
thing from him that would not be especially
agreeable ia them. All oe which has a
strong suspicion about it of a disappointed
man who was trying to soothe his rutiied
feelings. We have not too good an opinion
of General VIM. Z. Sherman to doubt that
ha was quite equal to piece OF this sort
of duplicitv. The man who would try TO
fix on General Hamilton the burning of
Columbia. for which he knew he was re-
sponsible and had given orders. was quite
equal to a small piece of Jesu!try Ike
this
Blaine and Logan had been nominated
when this letter was written, and Sherman
gives his opinion of them. He says Logan
WAS a good soldier and a good man. As to
Blaine. he uses the following language:
