A CORRECT VIEW.

The Washington Post. in replying
TO "A somewhat hysterical effusion
which appeared in the Norfolk Vir-
ginian-Pilot a few days since in re-
gard to Hons. John : Wise and
John G Carlisle and the Virginia con-
stitutiOn. takes the same view of the
matter as that expressed by The Free
Lance several days ago. The Post
quotes from our Norfolk contempt
rary as follows:
''If John 5. Wise has earned and receiv-
ed the content of Nirginians. John q
Carlisle has earned and received the cor
dial hate of kentuckians And il il this
precious pair that has been selected to
champion a new regime of Senegam bian
ism and carpetbaggery. a regime that
would unsettle the foundations OF civil
order, render life and property Insecure
and force the South to resort once more
TO the shotgun aud ballot-bOx stuffiag
to preserve its civilization And these,
look you, are Southern mem"
And then expresses its views about
the gentlemen mention in this Ian
guage;
1t does not follow that, because they
went TO Richmond to make arguments
against the Virginia constitution, they
are at heart opposed to il or would will
iDgly do it the least harm. Indeed, the
constitution is none the worse for their
onslaught, and we fully believe that the
result causes them no sorrow whatso-
ever. For Our MARI soc in rhQ Incl.
dent nothing more than a case of ordi-
nary professional business and we sin
cerely hope they will both collect their
fees.
AS usual The Post takes the pro-
per views OF the matter and while the
Hon. John S. Wise has made himself
quite obnoxious TO a large number
OF our people in the past few days
We see in his action nothing bat an
effort to make his clients believe that
he is earning his fee. which is no
doubt quite a large one. In this
same connection we are persuaded
that the little furry which he caused
In Washington at the opening of
Congress was the result of the same
intention of making a huge bluff in
this direction. However so far as
Mr.. Carlisle is concerned he is, so to
speak, out of the reckoning and be-
fore he can be employed the case will
have been forgotten.

Ii is said Of Mauilla that while 1t
waS occupied by the SpaniardS and
marshall law was the rule and civil
law was the exception, in all parts
of the Archipelago occupied by the
CaStillian race, there were but two
places in Manila where alcoholic bev-
cragcs could be bought or sold as in
our American dram shops But now
and since occupied by the American
troops, dram shops are to be found
on every street and they spring up
almost instantly wherever troops are
located, The natives 1t Is said, have
caught the infection from soldiers:
and the drink habit is spreading rap
idly, something unknown to the
natives before the introduction of
American ways in the Archipelago.
A cCnSnS OF Manila taken by army
officers before the civil government
was organized, showed over 400 saloons
in the city of Manila. Perhaps this
may be urged as another reason show
ing the incapacity Of the natives for
self government, and the,rapid civil
izing processes of the North American
Republic.
