even in Virginia, to his plea for the ad-
mission of Pennsylvania claimant to a
seat in the Senate.
Il confess do not know exactly how to
interpret this sentence; 5but il it meant to
belittle Senator Daniels reputation as a
constitutional lawyer I think 1t Is ex-
tremeIy infelicitous. For a quarter OF a
century the people of Virginia have never
let an opportunity escape to manifest
their confidence in him as man, a law
yer and statesman. He declined the At

had reached his thirtieth year, and seat

Appeals when he had scarcely attained
the, legal age. He is. / am informed, the
only member of the United States Senate
who is the author of law books which
have won recognition throughout the
country from the Bench and the Bar.
The late John Randolph Tucker said OF

possible that Senator Daniel may differ

question without suffering in reputation

members of the Legislature did not know
what they were doing when they voted on

the members by concealing the real pur-

confined to the Virginia Legislature.
Wherever and whenever there is a law

a man, or set of men, hanging around

1t is claimed by the advocates Of free
silver that the act of 1873, which suspended
the free coinage Of silver. and which, to
all intcnts and purposes, put this country
upon the gold basis, was SO adroitly franz
ed that the members Of Congress had no
idea when they voted for it that they
were, in fact, voting for a measure to
c1ange the monetary standard of tn, United
States. 1t is also currently reported that
the President did not understand the real
pur;jort OF the bill when he signed it. Now
everybody knows tnat The Times believes
that that measure has. proven to be OF
great service to the country, but if the

SEVERAL THINGS TO THINK ON.

Senator John W. Daniel put the reia-
ton OF the Confederate soldier to the
United States Government upon its pro-
per and true footing "wednesday night
in his speech at the Jefferson Hotel at
Mr.. Wizards supper TO Judge Morris.
He paid an eloquent tribute to 1.-The Lost
Cause and to Nirginias part in it. but
he added that, regardless of statehood
Or his past associations and allegiance,
we are to-day loyal American citizens,
all and that he stood in the United
States Senate as loyal a senator as any.
Man in that body, standing by his coGn-
try whether right or wrong. This is the
feeling that every Confederate soldier
should have, and we believe it is the ac-
tual feeling of ninety-nine out Of every
one hundred surviving Confederate sol
diers. if not of one hundred out Of every
ono hundred.
In speaking Of our being in possession
OF the Philippine Islands, and having
therefore to deal with them as some
thing actually on our hands, Senator
Daniel added: II feel by this move
ment just as I would have felt during
the war if General Jackson had said to
me: Take that hill, Major Daniel, and
hold it 1 would have taken it and I
would have held it,
That truly 1ypi1ies our duty in the
present case We have taken these
islands in the due and orderly course OF
events, and we must hold them until, at
least, our duty points out some other
disposition of them.
And we want TO diverge somewhat at
this point to add that Major Daniel paid
no un,nerited tribute 10 himself when
he said that il General jackson had or
dered him to take -.that hill'' that he
would have taken and held 1T If there
was a soldier an the Confederate army
who could have been relied on to carry
out his .comuandcr's orders just as they
were given, Major Daniel was one of
them. "A Drawer or more heroic spirit
than his never bucklcd on a sword.
And this leads us into a still further
divergence that we may say the heroic
spirit OF our whole people is brought
into very strong relief by the events
now progressing ia South Agrica. They
have been fighting there almost every
day for more than four months, and
what has been done? The British War
Office sums up all British losses to this
time at less than 1900 men. Compare
that with the following table. showing
the losses in our civil war in some of
the principal battles:
