DIR GREGORY'S LETTER.

DIR. GREGORY'S LETTER.
King William C. H, Va, July q, 19O2.
Hen. John Lamb:
Dear Sir,-Yours in regard to the as
cussion between you and Mr.. Wallace at
King William Courthouse on last Tues
day received
You had perfect right to think that
I kept the time. having called the meet
ing to order: but the fact is l did not
do SCI: and, therefore, cannot say how
long you spoke. But I remember dis
tinctly, as soon as Mr.. Wallace called
your attention to the fact that you mad
spoken over your time, you yielded inn
mediately, and asked his (Ndr. Wallaces 81
pardon, as any other gentleman would
have done. 1 am sure it was as far from
you as it was from me to do Mr. Wal
lace an injustice. You have nothing to
gain and everything to lose in King Will
liam by acting dishonesty. The county
will go for you by a large majority, even
though Mr.. Wallace should speak 1rcsn
now till the primary. I told Mr.. wal
lace before the meeting was called that
I did not intend to limit either OF you;
that each one might speak as long as
he thought proper. The meeting COM
menced at about the same time all such
meetings begin at King William Court
house-just after dinner hour. 1t seems
that Mr. Wallace kept the time why
should he have allowed you to use his
if he wished to occupy it himself?
Thoughtful people are thinking along
this line. Use this as you think proper

WRITES HIMSELF UP
And now / come to the matter to which
| referred in an earlier part of this let
ter and to which I ask your attention.
1t has been known to me and to nv
friends from the beginning Of this can
vass that Mr.. Wallace had one great
advantage. over me. and was using it
freely. He has free access to the local
Offices and local Columns of the Rich
mond newspapers, and I have not. 1t
has been his habit to- return to the city
from the meetings in the counties where
we have met in debate and himself write
for publication and cause to be published
in the papers of the following morning
accounts of those meetings and debates.
The gross unfairness to me of these ac-
counts has been the subject of severe
criticism throughout the district by
those who attended the meetings and
heard the debates. The effect of this
little enterprise of Mr. Wallace's has
been only to enable him to palm off on
the public these ex parte accounts of
his. but to exclude from the press any
fair and impartial account of our meet
ings; for it is we'll known that news
papers will not print what they regard
as stale news and it has happened more
than once that accounts written by dis
interested persons (some times by their
regular correspondents) have been sub
sequently sent to the newspapers, but
have not been published. take plea
sure in saying. that I do not believe
that the honorable gentleman who own
and edit these newspapers were aware
that their columns were being thus used
to build up one Democratic candidate
and beat down another.
Mr.. Wallace claimed for himself on the
stump that he is a natural politician.
This little game" of his is certainly
a new political device, and he is entitled
to the patent right. 1t is not likely that
any Virginia gentleman will infringe it.
i should have thought that he was far
too wise to suppose that it could be
played very long without detection; for
he must be aware that no mere sham
can long be paraded as truth. and that
it is the fate OF all bubbles to burst.
MURDER AND SUICIDE.
These special dispatches from King
William have thus enabled me to- lay
before you incontestable proof Of what
and my friends knew to be true. It
is a great law of our being that no man
can do injustice without himself receiv-
ing injury. My opponent is victim of
that law. BY these specials Ito bor-
row the expression of Rogers). 'he

Handling the Mobs,


FROM the Knoxville Journal and Tribune.
The people of the state Of Mississippi are
congratulated upon having a governor who
Is Jealous and earnest in the enforcement of
law. Under the benign influence of the
courageous Governor Longino the state has
been making a record for itself that
amounts to revolution in one respect In
the sixteen years ending with the year 1901
there were BIB lynchings In the state. Up
to the present time there has not been a
single lynching in Mississippi this year.
This change is largely due to the courage
and good judgment of Governor Longino.
When he first went into office, at the very
flrst opportunity, he showed that class of
lawbreakers who take the law into their
own hands and gather in mobs to punish
alleged criminals that it was his purpose to
have the laws against such outrages rigidly
and fearlessly enforced, and he seems to
have had no trouble in teaching that class
of offenders that he meant just what he
said. If the governors of other states would
exercise the authority with which the law
clothes them, and give the courts and other
officials whose business it is to enforce the
law the moral support they may. there
would be fewer mobs, and finally they
would become thing of the past

The Dennis Case,

The partial recovery of her mental powers
by Mrs. Dennis, who was cruelty beaten
In her home several months ago by an un-
known assailant, leads to the hope that
sufficient light may be thrown upon the
mystery of the assault to permit the police
to resume practical work in the detection
of the criminal. Thus far her answers to
questions have not been at all satisfactory
but they are sufficiently clear to show that
her mind has not been absolutely destroyed
by the blows which were administered
This case has proved to be one Of the most
disquieting to the public in the criminal
records of many years. The murder of
Shoemaker Hall over eight years ago has
never been. solved. But the motive in that
case was plain enough, and while the fail
ure of the police to obtain even the slight
est clue to the slayer gave the community
much anxiety. yet that affair did not arouse
the apprehension which has been caused by
this apparently motiveless murderous as
sault. The gravity of the case Is not af-
fected by. the results Of Mrs. Dennis

The Charlottesville Meetins.

At Charlottesville, Va, yesterday a long
stride forward was taken in behalf of bet
ter roads for the old commonwealth when a
convention held in that interest was
brought to close with series of speeches
by leaders of national activity and national
thought. section of a perfect highway
has been constructed there and the cere-
monies of its dedication were such as to
arouse interest throughout the state 1t
may be that result of this affair the
public sentiment of Virginia will still fur
ther crystalline in favor of good roads so
that the legislature at its next session will
regard the proposition more favorably. The
margin by which the good roads bill was
defeated In the lower house a short time
ago was very narrow, and compa arativeIy
slight shifting in the views of the peopIe
may turn the tide in favor of the enterprise
two years hence. Virginia needs better
roads as badly as any other eastern state
The sample highway at Charlottesville will
stand out In such glaring contrast to the
average country road that it will become a
perpetual argument In behalf of the modern
method of road making.

Abate the Poster Nuisance.


From the New York Mail and Express.
The ordinance for poster restriction
framed by the Municipal Art Society," and
now under consideration by the aldermanic
committee on buildings, should be made a
law. 1t is a fair, conservative and needed
remedy for a continually increasing nui-
sance. Its enforcement would injure no
one, except that the profits of few sign
and billboard people might be lessened to
slight extent. And no such consideration
should be allowed to stand in the way Of
a movement to beautify the city and re-
move a menace to the lives and limbs Of
pedestrians. An ordinance limiting the
height of billboards on the ground to ten
feet and those on the tops of buildings to
five feet will interfere in no way with legit-
Innate advertising. The man who puts up
one of the mammoth monstrosities that
now hurt the eye at every turn, does SO
simply because his competitor in business
has one as big. Prominence is merely COM
parative, and with the size limited the
contest would become one of artistic quail
ity and attractiveness. This has been the
result of similar regulations in Paris and
the other large continental cities. Lon
don is now following their lead, and so
are Chicago, Buffalo and Rochester in this
country. Let New York keep pace with
the world capitals before the smaller Amer
ican cities shame US. We shall then hear
fewer comments such that of President
Eliot of Harvard upon the sordid ugliness
of the city which every good citizen hopes
to see the most beautiful in the land.

The New Party.

Allen Of Nebraska would attend the po-
lilical convention at Louisville. Mr.. Bryan's
hand was Immediately detected in the move
ment. and the prediction made that he
would in time enjoy the usufruct of the
new party. 1t turns out. however, that Mr..
Allen did not attend and does not approve
of the movement. He is quoted to that
effect in a telegram from his home replying
to an inquiry on the subject. He is still Il
porulist. and sees no reason for the forma
tior of a new party That his heart is
still true to Mr.. Bryan may safely be taken
for granted The country needs no fresh
assurance on that point.
Why a new party at this time? The pop
ulist party grew out of a series of poor
crops and great depression of the agricul-
turaI interests. The farmers, north, south.
east and west. fell into the dumps and
fan,isd that some of the ills with which
they wer. afflicted could be cured by legis-
lation. So. large numbers of them drew
away from the two old parties. and chose

formidable showing over a wide stretch of
territory. They were strong enough to i'm

Municipal Beauty.
From the Richmond Times.

tnt RItHIhOhU
The pleasure. comfort and health of a
city are all benefited by It's cleanliness. If
cleaning the streets and carrying a house
toulouse sanitary measure are proper mu-
nicipal functions then an architectural CEN
sorship may be established If the people
will it. Pehaps we are not prepared to go
that far, but any rate the city could go in
for necessary sidewalk regulations, park
improvements, the beautifying of public
works and good streetmaking. 1t would be
a. wise thing to establish an architectural
or building commission now, however, in
the interests of the internal safety of build
ngs, as well as of the external accept
ability. city's beauty has a real COM
mercial value, distinctly traceable in defin-
ite returns. A wellswept. tastefully built
busy town or city attracts people and de-
velops trade, almost in spite of itself.
