THE TROUBLES OF THE REVOLT
TlONISTS.

The legislature of Virginia is with
MS, and if there is any satisfaction in
seeing ones old enemy squirm, the col
ored folks of this state are enjoying it.
The unconstitutional Constitution
al" Convention after declining to take
the oath of office proceeded to prescribe
the kind of oath the legislature of Vir-
ginia must take. 1t also applied the
thnmbscrew" by declaring that in case
any member of the Legislature Of the
state should fail to tkae this oath, he
would thereby vacate his Office.
The most remarkable part of the
whole affair was the action of Col. JAS.
r. CATION, the author of the Alexandria
Jim Grow Car law in leading the fight
against the new instrument.
He declared that the action of that
body in proclaiming the result of their
labors instead Of submitting it to the
people of the commonwealth was not
only an act of bad faith, but nullified
the efforts of the body itself.
The Republican members fled a pro-
: test and with one exception, DIR. Nc
LEAN Of Mecklenburg county took the
oath under protest. The latter refused
so take the oath
That the action Of the unconstitution-
al Convention was revolutionary adj

mits of no question.

mlts OF no question.
But what will the Supreme Court of
the United States decide? Will it re-
view the action of the revolutionary
body which arrogated to itself the pow.
ers of state?
Its past action has been one of eva
sion. 1t got around the Kentucky case
by simply declining to pass upon it.
According to its dictum, state or the
accredited or rather the liscredited rem
resentatives Of state may do revolu-
tionary act and so long as it does not
destroy the Constitution of the United
States, the Supreme Court will Ego blind
IN one eye, and can't see with the 9TH
er, so to speak.
I This is the hope of the revolutIonists
and if the past record of the Supreme
Court is TO be taken as criterion, they
need not be without hope.
Admitting that the Constitutional
Convention is illegal, conceding that the
Constitution is unlawful, declaring that
the act of proclaiming the instrument is
revolutionary, the next question is,
what are we going to do about it?
We have repeatedly asserted that we
have more faith in the Supreme Court
of Appeals of Virginia than we have in
the Supreme Court of the United
States. The former has at time won
our respect. The latter has at times
merited our contempt.
The man who Will believe that any
practical results can be achieved by an
appeal to the latter is of hopeful dis
position and stuffed full of faith.
The men who have usurped the pow
ers of the people can only be overthrown
by the people whom they have betray-
ed. That such an overthrow would be
accompanied by disaster and followed
by blood-shed admits of no question.
This is why we "bear the ills we have
rather than rush to those we know not
Of" The situation is grave and the
remedy serious. What shall the end
be?

sour fellows" said the sergeant,
according to the Chicago Inter Ocean,
brought everything into practical
jokes except coffee. Coffee was al
ways coffee, and could not be treat
ed lightly. 1 have seen half dozen
little coffee kettles about one little
fire, all under the eye of one man,
looking after the interests of COM
rades who were off after wood or
water. But 1 never knew one of our
boys to fail in this sort of guard
duty. At the critical juncture every
coffee drinker wanted to manage his
own kettle, and joke at such a time
would have meant foot race or a
fight.
Il have at home the quart tin ket-
tie and two large tin cups which my
partner and myself carried in the
last year Of the war. One of the cups
is regulation government affair,
and the other a deeper one with
movable handle, through which the
belt or haversack strap could be
passed. Both have rough dents or
scars on the bottom, made in crush
ing the coffee with the socket end of
a bayonet. To the beginner the cof-
fee grinding was a difficult and I'M
satisfactory operation, but TO the old
soldiers it was a comforting process
which brought most satisfactory re-
suits.

and there that their thoughts met;
and just when the lover caught fair
glimpse of her, the clumsy words OF
an Misunderstanding, geueralized
paternity blotted out the image.
Little prone as Lyle was to mental
or emotional activity, he steadily
progressed to state where certainty
was the one cry of his heart. To look
at the picture on the bulkhead was
good. To have that picture above his
own bunk was infinitely preferable
To hear about her was a delight.
But to speak with knowledge and the
full sense of possession was heaven
ly.
So. one night, after a long, uneasily
meditative communion with the moon
and the dark sea, Edward LYLE sought
the chief fireman. 'Mr. Forbes" he
commenced, awkwardly, ''ye know
what-what-an interest 1 take in
Her"
The father nodded kindly, and he
went on: 'Well, sir, I'm getting pretty
well fixed-you've said yourself was a
good fireman-and want to marry"
Forbes looked at him with CLINT of
understanding in his eyes, but made no
response. The young man took off his
greasy cap and crushed it in his hands.
What want, sir" he said, quietly, els
to marry her"
There was no answer, and he added,
as though it might be taken for grant
ed: 81 love her"
he waited long time, but Forbes
made no reply, even by gesture.
Around them were all the rough sounds
of the main deck, the stamping of cattle
forward, the rattle of the cooks pots
and pans, the pervasive tones of care
less men. From the next cabin came a
harsh laugh and an oath. Lyle dared
not look at the photograph for fear he
should make Her conscious of the un-
worthy surroundings. SO he went out,
unanswered.
The next few days the two men did
not talk beyond what was ordinary and
necessary. Yet Lyle frequently felt
the elder mans gaze measuring him,
and he squared himself to his work
for her sake. Whether he was wretch
ed or not, it did not occur to him to ask
All he was distinctly conscious of was
a vast, unsatisfied love, n love so sure of
itself and so limitless that it included
in itself a return.
They neared San Francisco, and
Forbes insistence upon economy in
coal became almost unbearable. II

JACKSON'S FATALIsM.
He Often Prayed to the God of Bat

Jackson was as absolute a fatalist
asNapoleon, with this difference, that
Jackson was a man with a religious
creed, while Napoleon was not. Jack
son was Presbyterian and an abso-
Lutte believer in the tenets of the
church, says writer in Lippincott's
Magazine. As an evidence of his ia
talism L once saw him standing in a
mountain road when the wheel of a
caisson came off and was rolling dl-
rectly on him. An officer of his staff
called to him TO move, but he stood
still. The wheel struck a stone,
bounded over the side of the noun
tain, and Stonewall Jackson turned
TO the officer and said: you see,
there was no danger. 1 knew it."
1t was Stonewall Jackson's habit TO
pray on the battlefield. His method
was to remove his cap, raise his right
hand and then pray to the God of bat
ties. l saw him do this on several
occasions, notably on the field of Port
Republic, his battle with Shields,

SHIP SUBSIDY is OPPOSED.
Wisconsin Editors Come Out Against
It in Bunch This
Morning.

New York Sun Special Service.
2 a Chicago, Dec. 5.-The Tribune this
morning publishes the following:
The views of Wisconsin republican
newspapers are decidedly opposed to ship
subsidies in any form, and congress is adj
vised not to hurt the party by presenting
the shipping combine with the desired
bonus.
Wisconsin editors were asked to tele-
graph their views on the subsidy PROPOSE
ton to the Tribune, and half a hundred
OF them have responded with unqualified
condemnation of the plan. The reasons
advanced for opposing the measure are
many and in the aggregate furnish a
Weighty mass of objections.
Some editors go beyond objections and
condemn the scheme absolutely as a thinly
disguised scheme to enrich a corporation
that has been able to spend millions in
buying up foreign shipping lines. p.
The most conservative express the be-
lief that, while the American marine may
need some sort of encouragement, the end
desired cannot be reached by adopting a
measure that has a bad reputation and
which, in it's general purpose, arouses the
antagonism of the general public.

expressions have been received, not one
advocates the ship subsidy bill as it is at
present. r ~ u. E-S. .'H.. ~.

FOOTBALL

The Wisconsin team will probably ITO be al.
lowed to make the trim to the Pacific coast.
Such the statement given out by Manager
kirkpatrick last evening.
The reason for the sudden change in the plans
is the refusal of the university faculty to allow
the team to play any other teams excepting the
University of California and Leland Stanford
the two teams that considered when
the faculty consented to the post-season games.
AS the University Of California has already
gone out Of training with the intention of not
playing post-season game, the people who were
promising the games the coast wired Manager
Fitzpatrick that the only game that could be sub
stituted would be with the Paris Indian
school, and 1t is to this game that Acting Prest
dent Bird objects.
! The University Of Iowa finished the football
season of 1902 with deficit which will be
wiped out by subscription this month. The stu
dents and alumni Of the university will be asked
to contribute to the fund, which WILL it is pur.
posed, not only pay off this seasons indebted
ness, but liquidate obligations that have been
carried along for number Of years. The pur
pose Of the university is to raise enough money
10 that Iowa will stand free Of debt and there
fore be better able to take care of her athletic
teams. .'..'
