There exist in parts of Islam many
tombs OF the prophet Daniel OF these
one OF the most celebrated is at Cairo.
This fact need not astonish US. The
Mussulmans admit without hesitation
the duplication or even indefinite null
duplication of the bodies of holy per
sons without their veneration for each
or the remains being diminished i'm the
least. 1t is worth noting that the na-
ture OF the honorary qualifications ac-
corded to the same saint varies in diff
ferent countries. Thus. for example.
Daniel has at Cairo the name of Neb-
bi-Daniel-that is, they give him the
title OF prophet. as being at the same

the title they give TO saints is sid;
which signifies lord, which is also the

chiefs. In central Asia they give to

The Stuart Statue.

a committee of the j. 4. b. Stuart
Monument Association met in the X.
+. Lee Camp Hall at Richmond q
few rights ago snd discussed matters
pertaining to the erection of an
appropriate monument to the memory
of General Stuart. 1t was decided
that the monument should be of
bronze, standing upon granite base.
There had been talk of erecting a
pedestrian statue, but it was positive
ly decided that it should be eaues-
trian.
Many sites were under considera-
ton. Those which seemed to meet
with the most approval were Fifth
and Franklin, Fifth and Broad,
Tenth and Broad, and Adams and
Franklin streets. While several of
those present were inclined to favor
Fifth aud Franklin streets as q
hitting site for the monument, it was
argued that the street was not of
sufficient width. Then it was said
that property owners might be
induced to allow the corners to be
cut off so as to form a circle in which
to erect the statue. 1t is the desire
of the committee to put it in q place
where it will be conspicuous to both
the residents of the city and visitors.
The association lacks between
$4,000 and $15, ZOO of the necessary
cost of the statue. 1t was decided
that general meeting of the associa
ton would be held the second Mon
day in December, provided General
Fitzhugh Lee, the president of the
association, could be present on that
date. The purpose of this meeting
will be to provide ways and means
of raising the balance of money
needed.

How Are the Mighty FaIIenlN

Great interest is centered on the
effort of Attorney John S. Wise, rep
resenting a number of negro dissen-

Henry A. Wise, the loyal and patri-
otto Virginian.
The current belief among the law
yer members Of the late convention
is that the new instrument will be
sustained by the courts.
Attorney General W. A. Anderson
aud Mr.. Frank w. Christian, of
Richmond, will appear for the State.
They will constitute a strong team,
and there is every promise of warm
struggle. Captain Wise made a mo-
ton in Norfolk, asking that the
State Board of Canvsssers be enjoined
against issuing certificates of election
to the Congressman chosen at the
recent election, on the ground that
certain alleged citizens had been un-
lawfully and improperly denied the
right to vote. Messrs. Anderson and
Christian will boldly resist the mo-
ton before the court, out until they
shall have conferred, no definite plan
of action will be made out.

A Good PoIfrv


The Dry Goods Economist says OF
one store with which it is familiar:
Every employee in IL seems TO be
good natured. Why should there be
any difference in this respect between
this establishment and the average
store? Is not human nature about
the same the world over? True. but
there is difference. The proprietor
or this store is not only n merchant,
but gentleman. He treats his en-
ployees with marked courtesy and con-
sideration. AS a consequence they
feel so kindly disposed toward him and
his business that their good will is re-
hected in their treatment OF his GUS
toners" Some storekeepers never find
out why it is that so few OF their
casual customers become regulars.

Mr.. Ryan'S Candidacy

In nominating" Hon. John Ryan
for Governor, we said IN our issue OF
October s.:
The only objection to Mr.. Ryan
that we have heard advanced
from friend or foe is, that he is
an old bachelor and won't get
married. We think this objec-
ton might be remedied and that
name of Mr.. Ryan be added
TO those of Willard, Anderson,
Ellyson, and Swanson, as guber-
material candidates.
The Culpeper Enterprise has the
following:
"Mr. John RyaD's fret appearance
in politics, was as representative from
the grand old Democratic county of
Loudoun twenty odd years age. and
be has been continually kept in that
position by the good people of his
county. He is at present Speaker of
the House of Delegates, and he has
been for five terms, discrete, con-
servative,w and just Speaker bless
ed with keen perceptive powers, de-
termined and resolute in his rulings.
He is conscientious, and faithful in
the performance of his duty.

would most gracefully rest upon the
shoulders of this broadminded gen.
fleman.

would call on one of Virginia's most

favor at the hands of Governor Mon

nent fitness for place on the Com

that Clarke will never be noticed in

A Man of the People.

Mr.. EDITOR: A circular letter wa:
recently sent me as one of tue com.
missioners of the revenue of the
county, to do what / could to have
this office made appointive instead OF
elective, as it now is. Asa democrat
have always opposed the centrali-
cation of power, and have insisted
that the correct principle wass that
formulated and advocated bv Mr..
Jefferson, namely, the dissemina-
ton of power among the people, in p,
stead of confering it's exercise to one
or few men.
His doctrine was thats'the safety
OF the Republic rested in the people, 4"
and that "no man need fear to trust
them," while on the other hand "the
danger of the Republic rested in the
Capitalization of power in the indi
vidual or any particular set of indi-
viduals."
This is my creed.
Will you, therefore, do me the
kindness to publish my reply to this
circular letter?
