Let Virginia Choose Whom She Will

Chicago Tribune (Rep)
 Every State in the Union has the right to place the statues of her two favOrite sons in statuary hall in the Capitol at Washington. Virginia has about decided that one of her two shall be Robert E, Lee. The selection of Lee is said to have given offense to the Grand Army of the Republic, and 1t is now planned to pro pose at next encampment of that body in San Francisco next month a resolution requesting Congress to enact that the statue of no man who ever opposed the Union shall be permitted place in stat
 The Grand Army should lend no sane tion to such a scheme. If 1t does it will be lending its weight to the cause against the cause of disunion Such an action on the part of the Grand Army would do fires which until within the last year or two seemed about to go out forever.
 If Congress forbade Virginia to place
 ba Vrpa m would tben decde h Rot no ssT the pedestal vacant? And would not the other Southern States also nominate fla leave their pedestals vacant? And would not those empty places do more than their statues could ever do to preserve the | fame of the heroes of the lost cause? Would not a statuary hall but half filled with statues be perpetual token that the North and South will not unite in | heart so long a s the North treats the | South like an enemy conquered instead of a friend reconciled?
 | The waver of the bloody shirt is not | what he wishes to be considered-an ultra patriot. On the contrary, he is an enemy to his country The allegiance of Ameri- | cans Is to the United States-not to the | North and not to the South. Tn 1861 we could not have Union unless by fighting Today We cannot have it except super | ficially, unless by peace.
 Let Virginia choOse the dead she wishe, to commemorate If she honors Lee above all but Washington, let her place hi: statue in the Capitol He was a grea | and good man. although he stood b,

Under the heading Read It." The Brooklyn Eagle thus refers to the charge of Judge Thomas. recently delivered to the Grand Jury of this city. and from which it makes liberal extracts:
 The charge of Judge w. H. Thomas to the Grand Jury in Alabama Is a fine con- tribution to justice. Score it to the credit of that State. To read it Is to admire it. To ponder 1t is to take hope for the fu- ture. That country is safe of which the judiciary Is strong, brave and true.
 The Advertiser cordially endorses the comments of The Eagle, but 1t goes fur ther and declares thA there are few States in the Union, if there are any, which have a more honest. fearless and upright judiciary than Alabama has. If justice sometimes lags. and if right some times fails to triumph over wrong, the failure cannot be justly laid to the judges. They stand high in the estima- ton of the people for their high charac- ter and intelligence.

 We now have a beautiful new school building. why not go to work and beauti- fy the school yard Set aside the proper play ground, and devote the rest of the yard to flowers, trees and grass. There Is nothing which gives a more refining in- fiuence to a child than pretty flowers and nice surroundings. It will be an educa- tion to them as well as much pleasure in after life. for in almost every tree and plant there is a beautiful object lesson.

These young men, to whom the protection and the support of the law. should the occasion require, themselves running amuck, shooting into private res- moving citizens,is thing too reprehensible to be countenanced.

It occasionally happens that a judge. on the bench talks out In language that no one can fail to understand. Sometimes His Honor is afraid of hurting feelings, but that was not the case with a Penn sylvania judge at a recent trial where some school commissioners were being tried for theft in office. The jury failed to convict, but recommended that the judge reprimand the accused, and he cer- l tainly did it. After telling them that the vcI dict of the jury was not what he had right to expect, he added:
 You are men of fair appearance, and you cannot help. if you have any feeling of responsibility, but feel that you have teen placed in a very unenviable position before the public and that position is simply common boodlers. If there Is any difference between boodlers, it seems to me you are of the worst class. Of course conduct of that kind will come to an end sooner or later You can bear that in mind. A jury may acquit. but in all prob and as I said to you, and the evidence fully warranted your conviction.
 Those men may have had some doubt as to the feeling of the jury towards them, but it is pretty sure that they know what the judge thought of them, and we imagine that the jurymen felt like they would be glad to find a con- venient hole

Washington, July 13.-(Special)-The militia organizations of the country are now receiving from the War Department brand new Krag-Jorgensen rifles. that ls' that portion of the National Guard which has to t the Ci nneWn Ss S the Dick militia bill" Several tnousanGs en stands of the arms have already been sent out.

The Department has great reserve stock of Krags at the various arsenals used and are in first class condition
 Meanwhile the government arsenals have commenced work on the new army the Krag being only twenty-four inches long and, most important of all. uses a cartridge which the Kras going to h,, the known ridge on the Krag cartridge by means of which several may be strung on a clip Is omitted from the cart rfsf # is sSeRssd SseResed Ss Sy tas some hat this dsm ilarity in ammunition will later on cause trouble It is recalled that a vast amount of confusion resulted in the war with Santiago were equipped with smokeless powder for their Krags. while the State troops were using the smoky Dldek poW- der for their Springfields.
 It is apprehended that something of the same trouble may follow from the use of non-lnterchangeable ammunition by the regulars and the militia. But old ord nance officers say that nothing of the sort will occur. They point to the fact that the ammunition for field artillery is different from that for mountain artillery and that no embarrassment ensues.
 There Is point in the law requiring the government to equip the tSate troops with modern rifles which has given rise to the suspicion that sharp trick has been played upon the State organiza- tions. The law stipulated that the militia should be supplied with the standard ser vice rife of the army. At the time of the passage of the act, the Krag- g-Jorgensen was the standard service rife" But a new rife had in fact been determined upon. the adoption of which was delayed until after the passage of the militia act. so that when the government began to furnish the militia with rifles they had to content themselves with the. Krag. as the thing called for by law. Thus the De- partment gets rid of it's old surplus stock and adopts the new rife. which Is known as the United States army magazine rifle. model 19O3." But all the same, the Krag-Jorgensen rifle is still recognized universally as first class rife.

money in the meantime. Advertiser.

looking after his interests in

The bond business will give Carter
a chance to get the Presidents ear

he is looking for. We wish to warn
all parties concerned, however. that
the expenditure is entirely unsuth-
orized and the persons putting up
the money are more than apt to lose
it.

The question OF whether or not
the reward OF $500 offered for the
apprehension OF E NJ Jones should
be paid to his son, who accompanied
him to the police station and osten-
sibly gave him up, has been decided
in the negative. At the same time
there are strong points on both sides
of the case. But the younger Jones
is a minor. The law makes his father
responsible for his acts aud requires
him to obey his father. When his
father instructed bin to call hack
and take him to the police station,
the son obeyed. There was more
than collusion iu the sff.ir. The
elder Jones directed his son in the
proceeding, aud the latter could
only obey, which he did. Technical, =,
ly, therefore, the elder Jones might
just as reasons ably be paid the reward
