Following Is an extract from q letter
written by lady of Kentucky to q friend
in Richmond concerning the proposal 70
MACE a bust Of General Lee in statuary:
Hall. The writer Is lady Of social
prominence and a member of family
which has been distinguished for several
generations in Southern political history.
Herself an ardent Confederate, she took
refuge lin Richmond during the wa" war
sharing and suffering in our reverses, ana
sho still has tho deepest love for the
Confederate cause. The letter was not
Intended for publication, 1t but we nave
taken the liberty of$usingSit because 1t rs
a woman's view and because IT expresses
the view Of many, IL not most OF the
women OF the Confederacy. She says
"Wlby in the world did you all in Vir-
gnla let the Legislature offer a statue
of General Lee for that hall in Washing

Some time ago Mr.. w w. Scott, state
Librarian. recalled In these columns an
incident, of Roman history, which seems
to have an appropriate bearing on this
case. SCato and friend were walking
through tho Forum, when the friend
asked the distinguished Roman why It
was that no statue had been erected to

ply, chat mensshould ask why no statue
was erected to me than that men should

A STRIKING CONTEST.

On Tuesday last the committee on the
budget Of the German Rcichstag, by the
overwhelming majority Of 90 to 2, voted to
approve an expenditure of $4,000 towards
the expense of Gernanys exhibit at the
St. Louis Exposition. On the following
day the House Of Delegates Of Virglnin
refused to vote $4,000 as the first IN
stallmcnt OF $4,000 towards an exposition
on virginias own soil to commemorate
the greatest event In American history.
Germany's financial condition Is proper
tlonntely, perhaps, not as good us that
OF Virginia. Germans too, are g cautious
indeed, phlegtnatio people. They are are not
carried awny BY sentiment but they I'M
derstand the value OF thef great opportu-
nifty offered BY an Industrial exposition to
promote commercial and industrial inter-
ests. and to secure to themselves the
comforts and benefits which come from
wealth. sI II II.
j Is It possible that .virginians are 80 far
behind Germans that they do not apprto-
cIate such an opportunity, even when ,!e It
is offered at .their;sown doors7 shall It
be thought that our representatives are
unable to grasp such q great situation?
The die Is not irrevocably cast, and
though the appropriation asked for VIII
be a greater burdenSon the State than
under ordinary circumstances should DO
assumed, yet the denial Of It will cause etE
an Unreasonable and irreparable loss,
beside which the amount Of the. appropr-
alton Is insignificant.

+ PENSIONS FOR TEACHERS.

And now come the public school teach
ers OF the State asking the Legislature
to inaugurate n pension system for them
and we are informed that bill to that
end has actually been drawn to be pre-
sented soon. We have the highest posi-
bel regard for this very worthy and
splendid class Of our people. but tho
idea OF expecting the State to pension
them when they can no longer follow
their profession seems to us to be q
rather unreasonable proposition. unless
the State is going to pension people Of
faithfully and we'll. But where Is the
money for all this sort of thing to come
from? Where will 1t stop? Who will
be the next to ask the old State to sup
port them?-salem. Timcs-Register.
Our astute contemporary, which nsu-
ally secs to the bottom of every subject
st discusses does not seem to realize
that the pension system for public
school teachers is already In vogue In
this State. We have many pensioners
pm the list. and the contention OF this
paper is that the State cannot afford to
keep them there.
There are WORKOUT teachers IN the
Hhools to-day, and they are retained
because the members of the school
i4 ~ . . .
boards have not the heart to turn them
adrift,
The bill in question provides that all
teachers who have served in the public
schools OF Virginia for twenty-five years.
and who have a faultless record, shall
be entitled to register their names on
The PREACHERS Retired List" and then
upon proof that any such teacher Is
unable to take care of himself or her.
self, as the case may be. the State shall
give to such person q pension Of two
hundred dollars a year In this way the
WORKOUT teachers would be taken out Of

appeared that Petersburg had pinned
