AELAST APPEAL

Tba ladies' OF the JefferSon DAVIS Mon
ont Association are about to make
their last appeal in behalf OF the opJect
,bev have SO much at heart. They pub
fish this morning their plan forsralsllls
the additional sum necessary 10 erece
the memorial arch. Whatever some mol
yiduals may think of the claims OF Mr.
Davis upon this generation, those South
e,r ars who went through the fiery ordeal
Of the great war between the STATES VII WI
RECALL with gratitude the inspiration OF
courage and endurance which they caught
fro,o that nac of inhexible integrity,
srele-hearted patriotism and untilnchlnG
for4,+,,de who held the helm Of our ship
Of, State.
Mr. reoyer. there is a further appeal 70
thu, magnanirnity OF every man IN the de-
yctton and labors Of the noble women VINO
are doing SO much to vindicate the honor
of their fathers and brothers who laid
down their lives for their States.
To refuse them aid in this, their time OF
reed. is to show indifference about the
principles and heroism Of those who We're
once a part Of our own lives and whose
graves are silent appeals that their mem en-
o,ies should not be dishonored.
The memorial arch is not merely to
Jefferson Davis. It is to the man who,
as President of the Confederate States
and commander-in-chief of its armies and
navles. represented all who resisted the
and cruel invasion Of
Virginia and the other Southern States.
IT cannot be said that it would be tear
ing agape a healing wound afresh' to
erect this arch The results of the war
ar. accepted and there is now no MUIR
nurs against the existing conditions. but
never while time lasts should any charge
against the Southern States which i'm.
putes to them in the war Of 1876 con-
duct unworthy of the noblest patriotism
50 unchallenged.
we cannot by act Of Congress have
statues erected to our heroes but we can
ourselves raise monuments and arches as
lasting proofs of our own gratitude to
these who We're our defenders and in
the purity of whose motives our faith is
urchanged.

Speaking OF the alleged purpose of the
Republicans and negroes to test the con-
stitutionality Of the suffrage plank OF
the Virginia Constitution. the Rockbridge
County News says:
These two impotent parties had as
we'll lie low and save their money. Mis-
sissippi for ten years has been enforcing
a much more Ubiquitous Constitution from
their standpoint, and there has been no
hand to interfere. South Caroline. and
Louisiana whites have been enforcing a
like kind for only little shorter period,
with the same result. The Virginia Con-
stitrtion, with its DISTINGUISHING clause,
excited neither interest nor criticism
among Republican press and leaders

opinion OF Mark Hanna, who, when asked
two years ago about the DISTINGUISHING
Constitution in North Carolina, very
quietly remarked that it helped them !;
that under the circumstances they could
expect more Republican Congressman and
more Republican electoral votes in an
Industrial State like North Carolina.

; BRYAN AND CLEVELAND.

Among the Democratic newspapers of
Virginia Mr.. Cleveland has few support
ers and most Of them ridicule the Idea
Of his being the Democratic nominee In
1904. Some Of them have severely crit
icissd Mr. Cleveland's speech atsthe h flsl1-
mony meeting Of the Tilden Club, de-.
claring that he was responsible Tor the =
defeat Of the party in 1886. On the oth n
ser hand, these same papers are also OPP
nosed to the leadership Of Mr.. William

Bryan for trying to keep the Demo-
Gratis of the country from harmonlzlnrs.

RICHMOND HOSPITALITY.

may. without. violating the sproprieties,
direct special attention to the fact that
within week the members of the late
Constitutional Convention and the mem
bers OF the Virginia Press Associa ton
enjoyed the hospitalities of Richmond at

We all hope. that our guests Will accept
this hospitality in the spirit in which it
was extended, will accept it as a token
of Ric-mond's very Kind feeling for the
people OF Virginia. There ought to be

Virginians in all sections. and the people
of Richmond are especially DESTROYS that
there shall be cordial and fraternal

There is too much Of the sectional
spirit in Virginia. We talk about the

pray that there may never come a fight

senseless friends at the North. who advise
him to arm. that when that conflict
cores there will soon be no negro pro-.

the strength Of his splendid, vigorous
nature. He once said to the writer OF

you to build upon? How can you know.
anything Of him or his purposes?' The
truth he believed In and loved; and truth
was that Of all thing for which his life
stood He was true to his Lord. true
to his convictions true to his obligations
to the Church, true to his fellow-man,
and true to himself. He was as trans
