Virginia Republicans.

The Virginia Republican State con-
vention seems to have been essentially
a white mems convention. Tho new
Southern Constitutions practically take
the negro out Of politics for the present.
1t is desirable that there should be
two strong parties in the South. and
that no one party should monopolize the
intelligence and contain the mass Of

Der, said with charming frankness:

Disappointmcnt at W'ilkesbarre.

The Presidents speech to the coal
miners and temperance workers yester-
day was chock full Of good advice which
might have been bestowed upon almost
any assembly OF American citizens with
benefit to the audience. No man could
be the worse for hearing Mr.. RoosE-

eelf-reliance, energy and respect for the
legal and moral rights OF Others as
factors OF success in life and essential

of citizenship. Many men among those
who listened to his admirable sentiments
must have needed just this sort Of talk
from sincere, straightforward and
highly respected mentor, and to such
the Presidents earnest words were
surely help and an inspiration.
Yet we venture to surmise that both
within the reach Of the Presidents
voice at Wilkesbarre yesterday and
among those who read his speech this
morning there were and are persons
whom his utterances disappoint ex-
ceedingly.

Fires in American Churches.

The rapid destruction by fire of costly
and stately church in Fifth avenue was
remarkable because the site Of the edifioe
Is in a region where fires of that sort
are rare, at least relatively; but it was
not extraordinary in the experience Of
such buildings In general.
In this country church fires average
between seven hundred and eight hun
dred yearly. In 1901, for example, their
number in the Union was 65s; in the
State of New York close to rs. In the
eighteen years ended with 1901 there
were as many as 5,597 church fires, in
which the value of the property destroyed
was nearly $21, 100000 and the insurance
loss nearly $l1 100000.
This is astonishing, considering that
churches ought to be far less liable to
fire than most other structures. A very
great part of them are occupied only oo-
casionally and their arrangements for
heating and lighting are simple. In
private dwellings and tenements and
large business buildings are many fire.
places, oftenin charge of careless servants
or persons ignorant Of necessary pre-
cautions to prevent damage from them.
In business establishments and dwell
ings of the larger and more elaborate
kind the lighting system is extensive
and complicated, and danger of fires
in them would seem to be far greater
than in churches, in which the rooms
occupied are relatively few and very
many Of which are used only on one
or two days in the week.
1t is true that majority Of American
churches are built of wood, but so also
is the construction of most American
houses and places of business of wood.
The vast majority of the buildings in
American cities and towns are wooden.
The st. Thomas Church in Fifth avenue,
however, was an example of the large
number Of church buildings in which
the materials of construction are stone

Of 80 stupendous ransom. Those who
loyalty desire to SOC the transition
from despotic to constitutional govern
ment in Russia accomplished safely
BY the RoMANoFrs, az 1t was In Prussia
by the HoHENzoLLERNs, instlnctively
shrink from imposing on NICHOLAS IL.
a load Of obloquy compared with which
the humiliation inflicted by the Crimean
war on his grandfather, ALEXANDER H.,
would be Insignificant.
1t is also to be borne In mind that the
Crimean war was wased on the soil
OF European Russia, and that when
Sebastopol fell the st. Petersburg Gov
eminent was more utterly exhausted
financially than 1t Is to-day. OF course,
1t could not borrow ruble from Eng
land, France and Austria, for those
Powers we're arrayed against it, and
Prussia had not a krepzer to lend.
Now, on the other hand, Russia could
doubtless borrow some moro money
in Berlin, and possibly even In London
md ak~- York, II the terms offered were
sufficiently tempting.
Whether, in fine, We look at the motives
impelling the worst men or the senti-
ments inspiring the best men among
the Cars advisers we can discover
reasons for repelling at this conjunc-
ture demand fora large pecuniary in
demnity.
On the other hand. Japan Is justified
in making such a demand and in pre-
ferring, rather than relinquish 1t, to go
on with the war. A poor country, she
has made immense pecuniary sacrifices
in order to discharge an international
duty, that of forcing the st. Petersburg
Government to fulfil it's solemn promise
to evacuate Manchuria. She may justly
hold that the tardy and compulsory full
filment of that pledge is no adequate
compensation for her lavish outpour OF
blood and treasure. Japan may be said
to have acted as attorney for all the
treaty Powers in an action Of ejectment.
1t seems but fair that Russia should pay
the costs OF court. But we are inclined
to think that the bill Of costs will have
to be certified by Russian National
Assembly.
