to locate a ball in a mans arm. A few
days ago Mr. ]. NJ. Orange shot himself
in Farmville with the determination to
end his existence. His aim was bad, and
the ball lodged in the arm, inflicting only
a painful wound. In order to probe for
the bullet. it was decided to- locate it
with the aid of the k-ray, and have a
photograph OF it taken.
The operation was conducted by Prot.

this conclusion yesterday wilen he was
presented with long petition signed
by a large number OF lawyers and prom
inent citizens, asking him to become
candidate.
Judge Wexford does not consider that
he is eligible while upon the bench. and
his views on the subject are fully stated
in the following letter:
March 49, 1901.
Messrs. Cary E. Stern, C. R. Sands.
Daniel Grinnan, ETC., etc.:
Gentlemen,-I most highly appreciate
your fattering invitation to announce
myself as a candidate for the Constitu-
tional Convention. To occupy a seat
in that body as. one of the representa-
tives of the good people of Richmond
would be "a most valued honor. But I
cannot consider myself as eligible under
the provisions OF the Constitution which
continues in full force until substituted
by another. In the great convention OF
1929 there We're two judges of the Court
of Appeals and three judges of the Cir
cult Court, and this precedent has doubt
less misled others as it did myself. The
provision, however, of the Constitution
of 1il6 then in force made the Judges
incapable OF being elected members of
either House Of Assembly or of the
Privy Council" But our present Con-
stitution (section "a, article g. provides
that Judges OF the Supreme Court of
Appeals and judges of the Circuit Courts
shall not hold any other Office or public
trust during their continuance in Office.
This prohibition is controlling upon me
as an office-holder under this Constitu-
ton, and l cannot regard a seat in the
Constitutional Convention as other than
q. high public trust. 1 am, therefore,
constrained to decline your CALL I beg
you to accept, gentlemen, my most cor
conferred by the tender of Your support.
Most truly yours.

LEAD BELT NeWs: ''Since the man.
agement of Asylum No. 4, located at
Pennington, is causing so much unfa-
vorable comment, it is to be hoped
that at the next session of the legisla-
lure a committee composed of honest,
upright and fearless business men will
be appointed to investigate the expen-
diture of the first appropriation OF
$3.50, 900. 1t seems that this amount
was expended in purchasing a site and
erecting FIVE cottages-each of which
bears the name OF some member ofthe
commission. Either those who were
responsible for this reckless expendi-
lure of money were knaves or very
short-sighted business men, for after
spending $3.50, 900 nothing is sufficient
ly complete to permit the property to
be occupied. Those intrusted with
such investments should be required
to give bond-and then if the money
is uselessly spent let the State proceed
to damages"

In Germany respectable business
men are sent to Jail for simply saying
the Emperor wants wit, or had made
an ass of himself at a banquet, and
young girls OF fifteen years of age have
in the last decade in that country been
sent to herd with prostitutes in the
workhouse for making fippant re-
marks about his majesty. In Austria
a drunken Archduke meets q funeral
procession where a company of peas
ants are bearing to its last resting
place the body of one of their num-
Der. He stops it, compels them to
place the bier across the road. and
jumps his horse back and forth over it
until he tires of the sport. The con-
dition of the Italian peasant Is too well
known by well informed people to need
comment. The truth ia. in Russia no
womaL is safe who has sufficient beauty
to excite the lust of a superior official.
In Germany but a short time ago an
officer ran an artisan through the body
for stumbling against him, and went
unpublished. Anarchy in the Old
World ia the product of lawlessness,
tyranny and crime among the official
classes. When in any country it be-
comes evident that there exists a class
above the law the Anarchist will arise
who will attempt to destroy all law.
The stamping out of anarchy in this
country should pot be a spasmodic and
frenzied effort which violates the law,
but should be confined to strictly legal
lines. II present laws are insufficient
others should be passed, but the tor
ture of prisoners that is claimed to
have already taken place, the extra
judicial punishments inflicted upon a
man who remains technically innocent
before the law until he has been de-
clared guilty by a court OF competent
Jurisdiction, should be suppressed as
quickly as anarchy itself, for it ia a
crime Of exactly the same nature. A
plan must be devised to suppress vio-
lent acts and yet leave opinions free.
The Anarchist of the slums who uses
the bomb and the torch and the Anar-
chist from the beach who sends people
to Jail for a private conversation about
their own interests alike must go.
There Ia no room in this country for
either the orator who advises his audi
ence to take by force what they want
and when they want it or for the Judge
who at the bidding of a corporation
e~nioins men from doing lawful acts
and imprisons them for peaceably as
sembling and discussing their grievan-
ces.
In the free air of the country an
archy cannot live, but in the crowded
slums of the unwholesome city it may
live for awhile even I'm our own be-
loved land. No man who PROCESSES the
creed of assassination should be per-
mitted to run at large. Equality be-
fore the Law is the true remedy for an
archy and no power should be per-
mitted to exist In the state stronger
than the state itself.

Now they are in the Democratic party
demanding harmony. They have not
altered the opinions they held in 1888,
in 1896 and in 1900; neither have the
rank and file of the party they be-
trayed. The majority of them were
at heart opposed to tariff reform, but
as no tariff bill could be formulated
and presented to a National Conven-
ton, they trusted to conflicting inter-
ests to prevent Congress from &C
complishing effective tariff reduction,
and after events demonstrated the wis
dom of their conclusions. They were
ostensibly in favor of bimetalism prior
to 1896, when the introduction of a
ratio in the national platform forced
them to assume their true colors.
They will be opposed to trusts until
some drastic legislation threatens to
wipe the trusts out and then they will
realign themselves with the Republi-
car party.
They will lament government by
Injunction until definite proposition
Is made to change the laws establish
ing our courts so as to make them di-
rectly responsible to the people.
They will denounce Imperialism I'M

had given the highest earthly honor;
and over his grave they mourn alike
