 Stowe would easily have made a homer on his hit in the eighth if his pedals were working right. The kid had a hard time racing to second, while it was a severe tussle to drag into third base.
 There are hopes for Skipper Eley. He showed yesterday that he really could hit the ball, when he did try. There is no reason for Eley'S hitting as far down the list as he is. With
  average was at least 30 points better. It is noticeable though that he has been doing slrnost of the slugging in the recent slump. Keep it up Frank.
 It is suggested that little banning now and then is always good for the best of men. (Some poet-eD Eley was banned, came back and showed that he had the goods.

Jeferson's Immortality.

President Alderman, of the University Of Vir-
ginia, once said in Richmond speech that Thomas
jefferson still lived at Monticello, in the mind
of the people in and around Charlottesville. They
call him Mr.. Jefferson and speak of him as liv-
ing neighbor, quoting his sayings upon occasions
and making them their daily rule of conduct. 1t
is the most acute case of Immortality ever knew.
But that condition is not confined to Albemarle
nor to the State of Virginia. In all of the States
Thomas Jefferson is as man very much alive and
his influence is greater, perhaps than when he was
here in the flesh.
This was so signalized on his most recent birth
day anniversary. 1t was celebrated by great
Democratic gathering in Washington and Jeffer-
sonian principles again exalted and extolled.
In fact each and every anniversary of the birth OF
jefferson is made the occasion for Democratic
rally and celebration This is one of the best
evidences ef the age that the principles for which
jefferson stood are still the ruling principles of the
party which he founded.

THE PEOPLES FORUM
His Facts Mixed.

Editor The Richmond Virginian:
Sir.---In your issue Of Thursday at
ternoon. April IA. there appears q
telegram from Boston, Mass. giving
part of a speech recently delivered by
one Col. Edward Anderson. OF the
Northern army, In which. while he
lauds General Robert e. Lee, he at the
same time engages in denunciation Of
jefferson Davis. Here is what he says
about Mr.. Davis: But do object to
Jefferson Davis statue being placed
there (meaning In statuary hall In
Washington. / object to 1t because
Davis was sneak and a traitor. He
took everything in the line of ammu-
longing to the nation he could and
sent them into the South. with the
far-sighted view Of their being used
against his country at some future
day."
Now, the Col. Anderson alluded to
has evidently gotten things badly
mixed In regard to Mr.. Davis and
that. too, in more ways than one.
For when the war began between the
North and the South, which was In
April. 1881. Mr.. Davis had not been
secretary of war Of the United States
for period of more than four years.

at the time to have made. But he

became Senator from Mississippi
after the 4th OF March, 1857. SO that
he had no opportunity, even II he had
desired 1t, to send arms and ammu-
milton belonging to the nation into
the South after that date. II was Mr..
Floyd who was secretary of war I'M
der President Buchanan. and who was
Mr.. Davis successor in that Office,
who was charged with having, just as
the war was about to commence, or
dered shipments of arms from North

such charges against Mr.. Floyd have
been denied time and time again.
established. there would be no
cumstances of the case. For as at
against Floyd, II was plain that war
was at hand between the North and
the South. And as the South had
contributed her full share to buying
the arms which were in the arsenals
of the United States. as a matter Of
equity and justice. the South was en-
titled to a full share of them-far
more. very far more, in fact. than
she had of them in her arsenals-
for II was then as 1t is now-that the
lions share of everything went to
the North. L. w. w.

No Subsidy for This College.

The University of Wooster, Ohio, has decided not
to be made beneficiary of the Carnegie pension
fund for superannuated professors because it was
stipulated that in order to obtain the money the
college would have to be released from all de-
nominational control. The institution is Presby-
tcrian and this action taken by the Presbytery
of Dayton representing all Presbyterian Churches
in five counties in Southwestern Ohio.
There was a lively debate, but argument was
made by most of the speakers that to accept the
money would be tantamount to forfeiting princi-
pie. There are many other colleges, we proud
to say, that take the same view and decline to be
subsidized by the money of the rich The money
power has many ramifeations, but God save the
