tho problem would have been nothing like
SO difficult The solution would havo
been simpler. and we verify believe that
ere this the problem would have been
worked out as well as it were possible
10 work it out. Tho true solution was
in gradual emancipation and gradual en-"
reimbursement as the negro showed him
SELF qualified to assume the duties Of
citizenship. But the Northern people
.srust the problem upon us at one fcSl
swoop and fairly overwhelmed us with
instantaneous and complete emancipation
by one oct OF the President, to be fol-
lowed a little later by clothing this child
race" this untutored race, with all the
rights and privileges of American citi-
zenship.
When we consider these things. the
wcnder IS that the South has done as
well as it has with this terrific problem.

Father ard Son.

d..
In what measure was Gordon L. Ford
father of Malcolm w. and Paul Lelces-
ter Ford, responsible for the lamentable
tragedy in New York the. other day? Ac-
cordlng to the stories that have appeared
in the New York papers, Gordon Ford
disinherted his son, Malcolm, for no
other reason than that the young man
had a passionate fondness for athletic
sports. He had q magnificent physique
and muscles of steel, and was proud OF
his prowess on field or track. But the
father objected to athletics. He prob
ably thought sports too undignif1ed for
a son Of his, or perhaps, that he lacked
moral fibre and would degenerate into
a sport" He desired him to be a
professional man; hence he tried to bend
the son to- his own will The father
proved himself q donineerings and obdur-
ate parent, and when Malcolm declined
to accede to his wishes, he was disinherlt-
ed and the fathers large fortune went
to his brothers and sisters. This en-
FILTERED him. He felt that he had been
badly used. When misfortunes over
took him he brooded over his wrongs
until his mind became unsettled And
then followed the tragedy. Was the
flinty hearted father entirely blajmeless?

A little more than a year ago Rich

this city genuine distress among the peo-

sense an expression Of his kind regard
for the Richmond people, among whom
he had for so many years made his home:

Richmond was proud of it. We held the
beautiful structure in even affectionate re-
gard, and when it was destroyed we

But the hotel has been partially re-
stored and it will be formally opened Cor

like so large as the former structure, the

Of the best and finest hotels in the coun-
try. There is every assurance that i'll
the carly future the entire structure will
have been restored and our sorrow will

Unfair Treatment.

Unfair Treatment.
The Virginia Citizen In its last issue
contained an editorial comment upon
Governor Montague's statement IN BAL
timore on the money question that
was unfair to the Governor and uncall-
ed for on the part OF the Citizen. The
naper changes tina THE Governor is a po-
litical acrobat and quotes his statement
on the currency In proof thereof.
We submit that the illustration is un-
fortunate. # Governor Montague is.
political acrobat because he believes that
the Democratic party should abandon
its erstwhile policy on the silver ques-
ton. he is in company with several mil
lion acrobats, for if any one thing is
certain, it is that the Democratic party
during the next campaign is to take q
different attitude on the money question
than 1t took during the two previous
campaigns.-Newport News Press.

The large increase of the railroad
tax for 1862 over that of 1901 is crafty
ing, not only as giving the State
greater revenue but also as showing
the increasing business of our trans
poltation systems. The table pub
lishcd elsewhere in this issue is worthy
Of careful study and it reveals many
interesting facts. The increase over
1861 is about 5000. The summer
travel business has had a great growth
in the past few years, and the freight
business has tremendously increased.
There is no surer index of the prosper
ity of Maine than the increasing bust
ness of its railroads, and the fact
must not be lost sight of that they bear
a large share of the burden of taxa
