WHAT THE PAPERS rnINK.

Whether the BYRD liquor Ia" Pto-
hibits women from drinking in cafes
or not. the fredericksburg Daily star
is .thoroughly convinced that their
own sense OF propriety should prohibit
them from doing so. 1t has never
been. thank Heaven! either generally
customary or even fashionable in Nir-

The FarmviIle Herald has been
wondering what moved the Governor
of Virginia to send telegram to the
Governor of Florida, calling attention
TO the fact that Senator Daniel was
sick and within the limits of his
state. The Florida Executive certain
" was not ignorant of the fact, and
TO remind him of it could only have
been construed as a reflection on his
want of courtesy. To tell friend
to be careful of the wants of guests
in his own home would be resented
as offensive intrusion" lust so; but
senator Daniel is in no sense the
guest OF the Governor OF Florida. re
happens 10 be in that state as prt-
vate citizen and did not go there in
his official character We are ready
TO hit Governor Mann whenever he
deserves ii. but we think that IL was
wholly proper thing for him TO
send dispatch TO Governor Gilchrist
informing him OF the condition of
Senator Daniel and asking him 10 give
MIN such attention as would be agree
able. There Is certain free masonry
among the Governors which made this
graceful act on the part Of the
Governor Of Virginia.
We agree with the Farnyille Herald
that 1t would be very funny for

months washington has been about the
most serious place in the country.
