The lorse-show building has been COM
p1eted, and to-day the painters Will put
on the finishing touches From what

ference to this matter, said that there
are a plenty of good seats unsold. and
there will be an ample number kept for
those who do not arrive in the city until
the day the show begins. Unlike the
old building, every seat in the new house
is good one. One can see as well from
the last row in the balcony as they could
from the front seats in the old audito-
rum.
with notice. TO the exhibitors that they
must have. their horses ready on time. as
no horse will be waited! for when the

promptly on the minute set. for each
class, and the management promises that
the performance Will be over by u:SU

New Orleans seems not only to have
avoided any particular worry over its
street-car strike, but to have actually en-
jcycd the situation. The Times-Democral
ever goes into ccstacies over what IN
large cities ordinarily is regarded as the
next thing to calamity. It says:
| How delightfully."- the hours of yester-
dry 1assed away among the good people
OF New Orleans! What relief it was
that after the heat Of the summer had
tempered this dear, old town of ours
should have been suddenly blessed will,
Sunday that must have brought back
to the CIDER inhabitants the peace and
quiet and soul-reposing notwithstanding
of fifty years ago! From dawn till dusk
the romantic city seemed be peacefully
resting in an age-long asleep. Scarcely a
sound broke the stiffness of the early
hours, and as the day wore on nothing,
save now ard then the tolling of some
church bell, inviting the people to divine
service. hit in upon the public ear. It
seemed. indeed, as if some patron saint
Of New Orleans, gra teful for the religious
devotion of its inhabitants. had intercedeu
at the throne of grace and obtained for
this community a day OF ideal loneliness,
if not CT ideal beauty
But this Is not the WorSt-Or- the pest
in the way Of rapturizing on the part Of
cur contemporary. Just read the follow
| in::
And when the day was done-and the
| last 1otc from the church bells had be-
come solvent in the silence OF the city,
| how comforting it was to step to your
| v'indow and TO look out upon and over the
| wide stretch of houses and to know that
| in each one OF them prayers of thanksgiv-
ing were being said for the gracious day
! long cuiet that had blessed the whole
community. How you longed then for
lie days when the telegraph and the
| teicpEoae and the trolley were unknown
| stony street. when men and women made
! use OF me vehicles of locomotion God had
/ given them; when. in a word man. as
We'll as al: other crea lures of the Crea-
/ tor. was satisfied to be natural. Away
| with electric cars and steam cars ana
pugeies. and wagons, We heard you ex-
claim Away with them all. Give me
| back the days gone by
Are the days of the trolley and steam:
cars, then, so much less pleasant then the
days that were without these conven-
fences? Alas for the law of nature which
makes it impossible for strenuousness
and restfnlness to exist together! Ours
is strenuous age, undoubtedly Those
who prefer continual rest have, in all
probability. been born too late.

THE WILCOX CASE.

So Jimmie Wilcox has been awarded
new trial by the Supreme Court of North
Carolina, and is now a happy man. COM
paratively
The crime alleged against him was
circunstanced in very many respects,
like that for which Tommy Gull
verius suffered death. In each case
the accused was the last person seen
with the deceased girl; in each case the
dead body was found in the water; in each
the question was raised whether the body
was dead or alive before it reached the
water: in each the accused failed to es-
tablish an alibi!
Judging from the newspaper reports, and
more than all, from the reviews OF
the cases made by the Supreme Courts to
which appeals were made. Cluverius's
guilt was far better proved than Wilcox's.
Four of five members OF the Virginia
Court of Appeals voted to affirm the SEN
tence of the Hastings Court of Richmond
in Cluveriusrs case; one (Hinton)' dissent
ed. On the other hand the North Caro-
lima Court, without a: dissenting voice,
gave Wilcox a new trial. Its reason for
doing so was that the jury didn't give
sufficient attention 10 the evidence and
argument presented on behalf Of Wilcox,
and because the behavior of the crowd in
and about the trial-court was prejudicial
to the cause of the prisoner.
On the latter point at least, we guess
there can be no doubt. On one occasion
when one of Wilcoxs4 counsel arose to
address the jury, the crowd in the court
rose from their seats and marched out the
door, with demonstrations of disapprova1-
At another time the fire bell was rung,
with the evident purpose Of drawing the
crowd from the court room. mo such
demonstrations as those, says the court
were ever witnessed in OUR State be-
FORE
We well remember the newspaper ac-
counts of these demonstrations, and we
think the Supreme Court has done wise
thing in branding its sternest disapproval
Of such riotous conduct. Better that a
guilty prisoner should go unwhipped OF
justice than jures should be inundated,
or influenced, by outside pressure to find
verdicts one way or t'other AS a matter
of fact we suppose Wilcox will now be
turned loose. He certainly will be, we
learn. unless new evidence can be found
to strengthen the prosecution. All the
same, the people of North Carolina are
to be congratulated that their court took
the position it did; better that-far better
than let precedent be established Which
would endanger the whole jury system
and bring the administration of Justice
into contempt.
I It is to WilcoX's credit that he might
have escaped from Jail a few weeks ago,
but refused to avail himself of the oppor
tunity. However that proves" nothing
as to his guilt or innocence. Men similar
ly situated afterwards have gone to the
scaffold. there confessed and been hang
ed. There was such a case in Virginia in
1870

Current Comment.

SAYS the Petersburg Jndex-Appeal: 1t
is commentary upon the simplicity OF
our Republican form OF government that
officials in many Of its branches find it
difficult, if not impossible, to live upon
their salaries. This was the case with
Speaker Reed, and this probably had
as much to do with Mr.. Henderson'S re-
tirement as the tariff nad. 1t is now re-
ported that Secretary Root nourns the
large income and solid comfort he sacri-
feed for a Cabinet place, and that he will
very soon leave the War Department for
private life. AS matter Of fact. is nos
our Republican simplicity a mere myth?''
So it would seem.
In burst Of righteous Indignation over
the coal situation the Salem Sentinel
says: 1T is nothing short: Of eStortion
and robbery when coal is held at from
Sc to $50 ton. Don't use it. people!
Don't use it! Suffer almost any inconven-
fence rather than pay such exorbitan,
prices for coal"
We sympathize with the sentin,.s 1t,
but nothing knocks resolutions out Of
one as quickly as being cold
With all the show of running can
ddate for Congress in this district no
really intelligent, disinterested man be-
lisves that the Republicans have the
slightest chance Of electing, or believes
that the Republicans themselves, high or
low. have any thought of their being able
to elect.-Staunton News.
STILL in order to keep the Democrats on
their mettle and alert, Republican opposi-
| ton should be welcomed.

The fallacy of the equality OF all men

dts hold on the minds Of our northern
Isfellow-citizens. The annexation Of Hawaii
and the Philippines has, adds the News,
brought the subject home to them in a
new light.
A correct conclusion based on an obvious
fact.
The government is not designed to con-
duct a banking business.-Danville Re
