i monument to the possibilities o!
q ..uinall lie
Such is the career Of Queen Victoria.
No sovereign in all the history of the
.r1r.t. has ever lett d more stainless rec
ord or more honored name than ehe
II all The long stretch OF years, from
.ls first hour OF her reign, which d. tes
inost from Ter girlhood, there has
lever been a breath Of suspicion
.anst her personal life, and no qs,es-
son Of the fonesty and uprightness OF
.,er court, so far as she could control it.
Indeed it is wonderful that one Lur-
deued with so many responsibilities
should have been able through more
;;lan three score years to hold the un-
divided respect of all the world and
the unbroken love of her subjects.
But the young queen at the very first
noar Of her reign showed q self
possession that has marked her course
tn1ongbout. From the morning OF
sae 2Oth of July, 1887, when messengers
..ere tur. led from Windsor Castle to
Aeuslnston Palace to Inform Victoria
tlat William " was dead, until SIM
liar intelligence was given to tto world
c,ncorning herself, her name was held
y high esteem everywhere.
The discri ption OF the manner in
wnieh the youug queen received the
ne:ss of Ter accession to the throne was
to:chingly beautlful. After three
hours journey the messengers called at
K-nsinyton Palace at five o'clock in
tse morning. But the attendant of
Princess Victoria said che was IN such
sweet s,unber she could not disturb
her. Upon the messengers urgent re-
gust that they must see Victoria on
.natters OF State the young princess
y.ss aroused aud did not keep them
ra5ting, but soon "came into the room
III ,og.e white night gown and shawl,
.isr night cap thrown off, and her hair
,iiing upon her shoulders. her feet in
,i:ppars, tears in her eyes, but perfectly
collected and dignifed." And all
through her reign she main tained that
dignity.
iIer career is monument to the
,ossihil,tjes Of human life, we repeat !;
s.tr every enc can maintain as true and
,.starnlshed character according to the
-.articniaY station In the world The
cret oI it all is in high purpose to
oe true and pure and always do right.
Can we not all do it?

"The old South in Story !"

"The cid South in Story !"
loseph Hugh Reese writes in the Allan
T. Journal that it Is the ambition of sel

and rs it is up to date, perhaps. The
ariser quotes from Mr.. Hamilton ".

"The sonth never lacked institutions

1t is agreed on all sides that "Uncle

Editor of The Times:

Editor of The Times:
Sir.-Sometimes old antagonists find
common ground of agreement The
Times and / are doubtless as far apart
as ever concerning the principle and poll
icy Of prohibition, but we are quite agreed
In defending the majesty of the law and
in condemning everything akin to mob
rule, either openly or covertly. Ihe pre-
servation of the integrity of our lnstltu-
lions demands that the laws of our land
shall be respected and enforced Truly.
.Iawlessness begets lawlessness, and II
one law may be openly repudiated at the
behests OF those with whom it is In lll-faV-
or why may not another and dnother!E Ana
where will it stop? Certainly / do not
approve the unseemly tactics OF MIS-. Ma
ton, but, as does The Times, l can see
that it is the logical sequence OF an an
tecedent cause, to-wit: The failure OF
sworn officers of the law at the behest-
OF minority of citizens, who dlsapproVe-
the law and violate it, to execute the
Main statutes of The law-making power.
/ say minority of citizens because 1t
would seem that the public sentiment
that makes a law must emanate IRON a
majority of sovereign citizens, and what
q farce our system of Government would
become if conformity to law is measured
by each citizens personal views as 70
the righteousness of each law!
You have hit the nail square on the
head when, in emphasizing the position
of The Times, you declare that notwith-
standing YOU would be altogether oppoS-
ed to the enactment of such a law, vet II
our Legislature passed a prohibitory law
YOU would favor its enforcement. Ana
this cold crank squares right along with
that principle when declare that not
withstanding am conscientiously, teeth
and toe-nail,'' dead against the license
system, am as certain as am OF my
existence that [ would make a perfectly
fair and impartial juror in any case IN
which a saloon-keeper's interests were

cording to the law and the testimony
This is the right way. We may disagree
as to what should or should not be laws,
but law must be supreme!
You will pardon me for saying incl
dentally (for that is not the point IN
volved just now that I have favored pro-
hibition being enacted as q result of pub
lie sentiment being educated to the point
OF demanding it and party behlnd the
law to enforce it. And all falr-mlnded
persons will concede that the Prohlbltlon
party has always discouraged hedge
or ..policy'' voters and only seeks those
who are profoundly convinced that the
principles and policy of the party are
right and just.
No: u do not endorse Mrs. Nation and
have yet to see a Prohibitionist or White
Ribboner who does, but see no logic III

yocacy of respect and reverence for law.

"A plea for Rctrenchmcnt.

Editor The Times:
Sir.-Wil you please allow me a little
space in the columns of your valuable
paper to express a few thoughts concern
ing the work of the coming convention?
With many citizens of this Common
wealth, / fully agree that we need a
Constitution better adapted to the needs
of our people in their impoverished con-
dition.
l have been looking in vain for some
one to define his position Or this great
question that has been agitating the pub
lie mind for so many years. I suppose
the politicians are hesitating before they
show their hand on the question of re-
trenchment-a question of vital interest
to our people. In order to accomplish any
good results from this convention, the
people must arouse themselves. By doing
away with county judges and county
superintendent of schools and merging
the Offices Of sheriff and county treasur-
er into one, which offices the people are
beginning to see are not worth to them
the money they cost, would make a long
stride in the way of practical retrench-
ment. In speaking as l do, mean no re-
Election on the good men who fill these
positions. I would also. suggest that the
Legislature give the justices jurisdiction
in attachment cases, lup to one hundred
dollars. and not force people to take these
cases when they are over twenty dollars
to the county courts.
I have merely touched this important
subject, and hope some ADLER person may
bring it more fully before the people,

TO PRESENT. DAVID GARRICK.

Attractive Entertninment TO Be Given
T,,-Morrow Night.
The presentation of David Garrick at
the Academy of Music tomorrow night
will be Of dual interest.
The entertainment is to be given for
the benefit of the Confederate Women's4
Home, and the play has been chosen as
the medium for the display of the ablii-
ties of what is probably the most talented
band of amateurs in the city. Those who
have been chosen to portray the various
characters are the most accomplished
pupils of Charles Persons School OF
Acting.
Mr.. Pierson is one of the Oldest actors
in America, and imbued as he is with
all the cult of what is now termed the
Old School, no one could have been found
better qualified than him to direct the
efforts Of amateurs of ability towards
the faithful and correct Interpretation
OF this great masterpiece of comedy and
romanticism.
The play will be staged elaborateiy.
Every attention has been given to the
details which go SO far towards making
a. performance interesting. The cos
tunes have been secured from one of the
most noted costumers In New York. and
the stage pictures Will baH made as at
tractiYe az the new scenery at the Acad-
envy and great wealth of accessories
can make them.

A SHARP RET0RT.

Editor of The Times:
Sir,-When assuming the responsibility
OF replying to the first communication of
..An Old Virginia S1ave-owner,'' I had no
thought that anything further would be
required from me OF. any one else, nor am
I thoroughly convinced yet that my as
sumption was not justiiable, Ifor it is
truly evident That the old adage, 'sNone SO
blind cs those who viii not see" has been
eXemplited.
This blindness is made apparent in many
ways. First, by the Alpha and Omega of
his reply to my letter, wherein he begins
by speaking of my letter as courteous
and closes by thanking me "for the cour-
tecrs tone Of his (ny) criticisms The
fact of his mentioning this strikes me as
an expression OF surprise on his part.
What else did he expect? Simply this, that

people is SO warped by its pregnancy Gil.
belief that our rural communities are
sinking in the scale of civilization and
humanity that a courteous discussion
could not be expected from a member off
that community Now, had I written u
reply four years ago there would doubt
less not have been so much courtesy, but
four years residence among these people
has Improved me in this respect.
Again, when read the expression: Had
Watkins shot the negro in hot blood, i'm

and without making any careful investi-
CATION, it would have BEEN indeed, de-
plorable in the light of, the testimony given

ply in this case. Certainly to others if
not to my Upponent.
The Interpretation given the expression
of the negro's counsel, quoted by me, is
not warranted by the expression or the
facts. My friend reads it through those.
same bedimmed glasses, and puts words
into the mouth Of the attorney which are
best suited to his side. The hacts in the
case are that there was no morbid and
excited state of public opinion in MOTTO
H4say.,, This I stated in my former article.
The conditions in detail We're as follows:
