there was such company formed in

THE "LILY WHITES" AGAIN.

Heretofore our position in respect to
fights within the Republican party mas
been pretty much that Of the old woman
whose husband was engaged In a boxing
and hugsing match with bear. She stood
aloof, crying go it, old man: go it, bar,
and didn't care which whipped.
But as to the fight between the lily
whites and the administration, we are not
inclined to be neutral. We feel like say
ing to the former Wade in; We'll hold

We have been entirely sincere in our de-
c1arations that we would welcome the
building up of a respectable Republican
minority in Virginia and the South.
The triumph of tho lilly whites al
fords the only promise of such con-
summation, and such a ccnsummation
would, by throwing broad issues into
our politics, stimulate southern Democrat
ic sneakers to rise to a plane from which
they would command, as they have not
done for over a generation, the attention
of the nation Thus it would make ue-
mendously for the regaining by the South
of her ancient domination in directing the
affairs and shaping the destlnies OF the
country. In that view the South and the
nation have all to gain by the success OF
the lily white movement.

An Excellent Commission.

Governor Montague has at last named
the Corporation Commission. provided
for by the new Constitution, His APP
pointees are: Judge Beverly T. Crump,
Of Richmond to serve one year; Henry
Fairfax. of Louioun county, to serve
three years, and Henry G. Stuart OF
Russell county, to serve five years.
These gentlemen are are all men OF
affairs, fairly representing the geosraph-
zeal divisions of the State, and Of the
very highest type of citizenship. Gov
e,nor Montague could have made no
wiser selections, and his choice is be-
ing commended and praised on all hands.
He had over a hundred applicants. some
with powerful political and business
backing, but the Governor turned to
three men who had to be earnestly urged
to accept Their very names Will inspire
the broadcast measure of public conf
dence from the outset, and 1t is freely
predicted that they will hold the scales
of Justice with steady and even hands
between the people on the one side and
the great corporate interests of the State
on the other.

ARMY CONTRACT SURGEONS.

There are number Of contract sur
geons serving in the regular army in the
Philippines and these, it is learned, have
prepared for presentation to Congress
bill for the creation of a special medical
corps for the colonies. The measure pro-
vides that the medical corps of the army
shall be increased by AS persons, but
there shall be no interference with pro-
motions OF the regular surgeons. In sup
port of the bill it is set forth that the
contract surgeons now serving in our
Far East possessions, will long be need
ed there Also that there will later be
more need of physicians experienced in
the treatment Of tropical diseases. when
a large number of government employees
shall be sent to Central America to dig
the isthmian canal.
1t would seem that this movement of
the contract surgeons is well worthy of
the thoughtful attention of Congress.

THE BENJAMIN PORTRAIT.

Rev. DR.. E. N. Calisch's address in

man rendered more loyal and devoted

history OF that dic-in-the-last-dltch eHor'
is very scant The colonel preserved nc
copy OF It nor even recollccts IN what pa
I.er It was published.
We know there was negro company
here in Richmond. and we believe there
were one or more in North Carolina. we
recall that a friend OF ours was oetaiico
as drill-mastcr at n rendezvous which mad
Deen ordered to be este blished for Ssucti
troops at or near Greensboro.
There were scores of negroes IN the
Northern regiments which formed part OF
George Washington's army; at leaststnese
were in the early stages OF the war we
have accounts showing that their pres
eucc was objected to by some OF the White
officers and men. and close exannin ma
tion OF the official records may possibly
disclose the fact that orders were issued
In the midst OF the war mot" to enlist or
rc-cnlist any more of them.
We know OF one very light complexion
oil rnulatto. who claims to have served IN
a Confederate battery. 1t is possible. yet
we have always doubted his story.
In numerous instances mulattoes are
said to have passed themselves of as
white men and enlisted In white compa-
MES Of the United States army during
1.-The Civil War" They preferred to nave
the society OF whites rather than OF their
own color. Besides. the whites were paid
more than the blacks were.
No doubt, the Presidents Mississippi
guide. Collier, told him many stories OF
Confederate times. He seems to be great
chatterer He is fisherman as Well as
a huntsman, and some Of his stories as
recounted by tho veracious special cores
pondents who followed the Presidents
party, we consider decidedly fishy.

Those resolutions We're ruled out of order
by the Bishop. I then appealed from
the decision of the Chair to the confer
ence as to whether the resolutions we're
in order. That is a very common thing
in all parliamentary bodies. The thing
which is not common is for the Chair TO
refuse to entertain an appeal. IhiS BiShop

Questions of law are very common in

and the answer are put upon record. and
go to the College of Bishops for review.
If the bishops do not agree with the
answer OF the presiding officer on the
question. he is reversed: if they do agree
has ruling is approved. and the question
and answer are published in the back
of the Discipline.
Bishop Duncan declined to answer a
question of law. I, then in order to make
certain that the question of law and
his refusal to answer the question shouiu
both be entered on the journal of the
conference, asked him publicly the ques-
swer would appear upon, the journal, and
he said that 1t would.
There was nothing whatever in the

rulings on the points involved, and the

The people call him rich; his lands
Stretch very far and very wide;
They call him rich; yet there he stands
Ill-clad and bent, and hollow-eyed
The people call him rich; his gold
Is piled in many yellow heap,
But he is all alone and old,
And when he dies no one will weep.
They call him rich, but where he dwells
The floors are bare, the walls are bleak;
They call him rich; he buys and sells,
But no fond fingers stroke his cheek
They call him rich; he does not know
The happiness Of standing where
Sweet winds across the meadows blow
And toss the verdant pillows there.
