Editor of The Times-Dfspatch:
Sir,--There was an editorial in your
paper several days ago In which the
public were invited to write their an
provnl and appreciation of any scnti-
ment or idea advanced by the paper of
their choice.
If such an insignificant subscriber as
myself may be allowed to take adj
vantage OF your offer, wish to say ]
was delighted with both your editorials
on the erection of monument to the
great Virginia. scientist, Commodore
Maury. AS you say, a statue placed
upon Discovery Pier at jamestown
would be most appropriate. But the
suggestion in to-day's paper OF a fort
to him mi ght be more so. TO honor
Him properly is the thing.
An article by Stedman In the North
American Review for August, see,
calls upon the press OF Virginia to in
crease its admonitions and advice TO
the electoral board off, the Hal OF
Fame as to the eminent,pe to be
admitted thereto ] don't know if
Maury is not already there, butaif not,
he most 5assuredly should he, and every
Virginia paper, Indeed every southern
paper, ought to insist that his statue
or bust should be placed among the
surprlsingly large number ofgtllustrions
persons alrcady9thus honored.

lowing:
Doctor Balm, in his "Higher English

he ignores the fact that this only"
is not an adjective. that the one thing
that makes it possible for it to slip
out of it's proper position is that 1t Is

amples that lie cites: The feeling will

only administer the law as it Isl etc.
One OF the tests of the quality Of
any given '.only" is Just this point Of
its nlovability. Other sentences are
not so simple as those which the
Ledger correspondent cites. In Romeo

"My only love sprung from my only

great deeds"
These two look something alike at

Let him take 1t from its place II he
can. Yet he can do this without diff
ficulty in the second line And the
very fact that he can say. with perfect
sense, only with fame or with

clusivey that this only" is, in fact, an
adverb. The correspondent says fur
Their:

tives qualify nouns, pronouns and other
adiectives, and not verbs, and that
they should be placed so near as pos

DO adiectives qualify other adiec-
Etives? And If so, when did they begin?
And how is the use of that $50" in
