A FACT AND A REASON.

The report Of the State clerk of the
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church, North. shows continuation in
istry. In 1895 the number of candidates
in the Presbyterian Church was 1,l61; in
1859, 973, and last year. $40. Whereas this
year the number reported has declined
to no This in spite of the fact that the
membership of the church shows a steady
growth.
II is said that this decline In the num-
her OF ministerial candidates has sorely
puzzled the editors Of Presbyterian and
other religious newspapers.
We do not mean to put our opinion
against theirs. but we believe that the
the fact that the churches are not taking
as good care as they should Of their old
preachers. Some time ago, In conversa-
ton with distinguished clergyman-and
by the way he was Presbyterian clergy
man-we were astonished to hear him
Gle age, although for years he had been
getting fairly good salary, as preachers
salaries go. But the demands upon a
warm-hearted preacher are so great that
1t is very hard for him to save anything
out OF his scant salary. and II the preacher
does try to save he is apt to get the
reputation OF being penurious, and SO
impair his usefulness. Nor can he en-
gage In any outside business by which
to make money. He must give his whole
time and attention to his work, II his
work Is to be properly done. and when
he has worn himself out In the service
he and his family should be properly cared
FOR by the church which he has served,
Young men who see old preachers laid
aside to spend their days In poverty. II
not In AFFECT want, are not much encour-
aged to enter the ministry.

VIRGINIA AT ST. LOUIS.

Virginia Is going to have a building
of some kind at the st. Louis Exposition.
1t Is for the people to decide what sort
of q building 1t shall be. It all depends
on the money they contribute, Captain
n. C. Morton, who Is giving his special
attention to this subject has already
raised sum Of money for the house. and
a house we shall have. but unless much
moro money Is subscribed 1t will not be
credit to the State.
Thousands and tens OF thousands OF
Virg!nans will visit the st. Louis Expo
sition, and they will find the Virginia
building fine meeting place. They will
meet their friends there and leave their
light baggage and get information and
find rest and recreation. But II the struc-
ture is little and "tacky" they will not be
proud 10 own IT, We want house to
which we can point with pride" and the
only way 10 get it is to put UP the money
TO pay for 1t.
We shall be judged In part by our
building. and we should make It as good
as possible, 1t will be gift TO the old
State by her children. and the present
should be generous expression of our
| affection.

DARING CONNECTS.

The thirteen convots who surprised and
captured some of the officers OF the Fol-
som, Cal, penitentiary and then made
their escape are men OF enterprise and
daring, but they will be caught again.
1t Is hardly possible for them to elude
the hundreds OF men who are IN pursuit
OF them. Whether "bloodholds' have
been put on their tracks or not we do not
know: probably not. Those '.old sleuths"
have some little reputation in this part
of the country, but are not in good stand
Ing everywhere else.
The Folsom prison officers were com.
pletely surprised and outnumbered. They
had no idea that the prisoners who APP
preached them had any hostile intent.
Folsom penitentiary, MS we stated yes
terday, Is n prison without walls. 1t Is
situated in a rocky amphiteheatre, close
miles from Sacramento. At night the
prisoners are locked in their cells; in tho
day they work in the stone quarries.
Upon the surrounding hills are guards
occupying watch towers, and for arms
they have rifles and Calling guns: but
by interposing the captured prison Off
Gers between themselves and the guards
the thirteen made good their break for
liberty.
We predict that thirteen will prove to
be an unlucky number in this instance.
The fact is that prisoners very seldom
escape recapture. The four who escaped
from Dannemora, N. " last week were
retaken in the course Of few daye. At
the Virginia penitentiary here an escape
is rare. Rarer still does the fugitive
keep out Of the hands Of his pursuers.
The last fellow who scaled the walls and
let himself down on the other side, fled
as far as Delaware, where he committed
a robbery and was arrested by the police,
who discovered that ne was an escaped
convict and returned him here.

WARD DIVISION.

From, the first we have foraseen tha1
1ha red,vision of the city into wards
would be no light task. The committee 10
whom the work has been entrusted tnd
that they have their hands fun, put oS
making known the plans proposed they
have invited suggestions and criticisms
and the map published in this paper sun
day throws deal Of light on the subject.
The result will be that the committee VIII
be able to ascertain the wishes OF the
people and thus they may be saved from
errors they would otherwise make
The main object Of the change required
by the Constitution Is to eoualize popu-
lation and representation, and that object
should be kept steadily In view. Under
the restricted electorate there Is no dam
ger Of the City Councils passing from
Democratic control. The wards may De
laid off naturally and equally without en-
dangering the political control Of any one
of them.
When ne say naturally" we mean that
each ward ought to be as compact as
possible and the territory included In 1t
should be such as naturally belongs to 1t.
Personal considerations should not enter
into the arrangement OF ward lines, but
the good of the public given first thought
in every instance.
1t is the hope and expectation of the
people that Richmond's municipal life
under the present Constitution will be
marked by great advances and improve
ments and It is essential thereto that the
ward lines shall be satisfactory to the
general public.
No scheme of division that can be de-
vised will win unanimous approval, but
1t is practicable to devise one that will
be so obviously fair and sensible as to be
acceptable TO the great majority OF think
Ing men here.
What the committee will have to do will
be to investigate and amend and correct
until they find they can do nothing moro
to fulfill the purpose for which they were
appointed, II will be labor we'll spent,
and the community will hold up their
hands in every effort they make to pro-
mote the good of the city. Again we say
that the public good, not personal or
political consideration. should be at tho
bottom of e,hry' change made.

TARIFF POSITION.
He Now Proposes Modified
Duties on Foreign Food and
Manufactures. Instead.
tBy Associated prcs,.,


LONDON, July 2s-1t is stated that
arrangements have been made to call
special meeting OF the Cabinet about the
end OF September. by which time 1t is
anticipated that the minister's investiga-
tons Of the fiscal problem will have been
completed and the Cabinet will be in a
position to reach definite decision on
Colonial Secretary Chamberlan's pro-
posals.
Mr.. Chamberlain's opponents claim, MS
result of the reception given to his
proposals by Parliament and the country,
that ho is already shifting his ground.
They point to inspired articles in the
press and the conduct of the campaign OF
leaflets at. Birmingham as showing the
tendency Of Mr.. Chamberlain to abandon
the policy Of taxing food and substituting
modified duties on foreign food and man
ufactures, the re1enue from which, In
stead or being devoted to old age PEN
sons, would be applied to removing and
relieving the taxes on sugar, tea and to-

CASING NEXT
MONDAY NIGHT
Summer Theatre. Renovated
and in Fine Order, Will
Offer Musical Comedy.

The Casino at Reservoir Park Will be
opened for the season next Monday night.
The announcement will be heartily well
coined by the hundreds of play-goers and
seekers after delightful recreation, who
have been left without diversion Of any
sort UP to this time.
The opening attraction Is to be musi-
cal comedy, TOO Much Married. pre-
scented by tho Haynes Company, an or
ganizatlon that has already made hit
In other theatres Of the Wells summer
circuit
Manager Wells has booked strong
vaudeville number which will be given
between the acts OF the comedy, and the
offering VIII be found very attractive.
The Casino has been put In splendid
order and has been thoroughly renovated.
The scale OF prices has been put at an
unusually seductive Level. and the re-
served seat sale will begin at Branch
Aliens store on Main STREET between
Ninth and Tenth Streets next Friday
morning.
This Is what a Montgomery paper said
of this attraction last week:
II YOU are seeking two hours Of sure
enough wholesome entertainment go and
see Al Haynes Comedy Company. which
began a weeks engagement at the neat
little Casino theatre last night.
No doubt this would be the advice OF
every person In the not too large audience
which aaw TOO Much Married" last
night. The farce, one-act jolity, scln-
tillates with fun, and 1t has evidently
been produced by these players many
times. for they are we'll seasoned in their
work.
The comedy is interpolated by special
ties that are Of a high order and the
specialties form the greater part OF the
entertainment.
SO much of the individual entertainment
was good that it Is not I.i.te fair to spec
ialize in n limited notice. From the time
AL Haynes appeared with his my Du-
audience felt that its moneys worth was
being doled out.
1.-THE Callahan Cadets" stirring
march number. was done in superior style
by Haynes and Miss Redmond. of whom
it should be sad she Is graceful and
handsome.
Then James Beall. who, by the way,
used TO register in hotel books from Mont
gomery, enllvened the game with his
Three Women to Every Man" solo and
chorus.
The vocal selections OF Mr.. Morgan and
Miss Crone were delicious. That musical
tenor OF Morgan's is well suited to ball
lads and Miss Crone's voice Is sweet and
resonant. More than this, she Is pretty.
She is blessed with a pair OF eyes that
are alone worth a trip to ricketts Spring.
The instrumental music OF the Bartells,
a man and NADIA wee bit of maid
was great. The little girl made a decided
hit. She Is a marvellous musician for
her age.
And Miss Margaret Rosa! Well Miss
Rosa Is not beauty. but-no more clever
actress has been seen on any Montgomery
stage. Her "1key Godstein" speciality
was revelation. 1t was so funny that
persons who saw 1t are laughing yet.

LEGISLATIVE TICKET.

Intelligent and patriotic citizens OF
Richmond are giving much thought to
municipal affairs. and are dgesting plans
for next years elections. which Is right
and communicable. but it should not be
overlooked by them that we are to have
an important State election on November
3D. next. This will be our first legislative
election under the new Constitution,
and we shall then be called upon to elect
one Senator and five Delegates. and
preliminary thereto the Democrats of this
city will have on September 22d primary
election for the nomination of candidates.
An adjourned session OF the old Leg
1slature. so 10 speak. will be held, be-
ginning on November 18th. and will have
for consideration a great quantity OF un-
finished business, left over when the
vacation was taken in May. Then, too,
the report OF the Committee on Revision
OF laws lately passed and others proposed
will be submitted So there Will be plenty
of work to do, and 1t is quite likely that
some of 1t will be passed over TO the new
Legislature, the members of which we
