However, our intention in publishing this

to discover the point or to have it discovered
for us. We publish 1t for the purpose OF max
ing protest-not a protest against SANDER
on business men of the South. Anything is per
missable in order to perpetrate a Joke, and We
are willing to give Colonel Harvey the benefit
of the doubt and assume that this is joke,
something we are under the impression that
we have already said more than once. It is well
to be sure before going ahead however and as
we do not believe any one Is going to discover
what It really u.s. we wish to be understood thor
oughly on this point, even at the danger Of be
ing considered easily satisfied in the way Of
humor To get back to original road We
protest against this joke. Rather we protest
against the language ascribed to the Southern
clerk Tho protest is not bitter one It is
not E -en made in our own behalf or in behalf Of
the maligned clerk. It is for the sake of Colonel
Harveys reputation for knowledge Of the South
and Southern speech that we object to his max
ing this poor, defenseless clerk of his magma
ton say veal" n any circumstances and
"you-al" under the circumstances noted. Had
this joke appeared in some other Northern pub
lication, We would not have noticed the language,
but in Colonel Harvey's weekly it is too much.
The literary colonel is supposed to have some
knowledge Of the South. Frequently he puts
in good word for US, and more frequently lee
lures us in fatherly manner. Moreover, he
IS acquainted with his brother-colonel from
Louisville. Having travelled in the South, loy-
ing it and having held sweet communion with
Colonel Watterson, he should have taught his
coDyreaders better than that He never heard
Colonel Watterson say we alt" or use ayou.all'

Colonel Harvey has done us a grievous injury
and owes us an apology.

Sir--The safety of this nation composed
as H. 49, OF people Of every nationality and re-
uglous creed depends largely upon pure

With these two functions pure and educated
this nation will continue to WELD its influence

the Ignorance or corruption of either
Inc safety and prosperity of this govern

that they may understand and teach the peo-
pic the pure and correct laws of Coo.

laws and principles and, il violated, man be-

illustrate. Visit your state penitennary, and
and YOU VIII find many confined there. Why
who lost sscir liberty because they violated
Gods law. Visit your city and county jails
and 20 Twill find many confined there. Why?
Because they violated Gods law. So it is in
every place Cf correction, from the chain-gang
the jahs and the penitentiary to the electric
chair. All these come from a violation Of the
law of God. Hence the Importance of the
clergy being educated as to the law of Cod
that they may teach IL correctly to the people
from their sacred desks.
The Judiciary, Of which boast Of
as pure any known to any people Of the

MARRY IN HASTE.

Governor Miller, Of Delaware. may not be
a sayant, and his knowledge Of eueeuics may
be no greater than that Of the ordinary lay
man, but he knows that hasty and iuconsldered
marriages are often a curse to tho contracting
parties result in domestic irleliclty and that4
such conditions arc not conducive to the proper
rearing OF children.
Governor Miller, probably, knows as weIl as
any other that opponents are not always the
forerunners of unhappy marriages, but any con
tract entered into in haste is likely to prove dis
asrous to both parties. In other words nc he
lieves in the old adage WED IN haste and re-
pent at leisure" Accordingly, in his inaugural
message, he recommends legislation which will
decrease Opponents into his State, He recon-
mends that laws be amended SO as to require a
residence within the State for st east six days
by one Of the parties 70 The marriage. This
and other amendments which he proposes win.
he believes, prevent many "illumed and hasty"
marriages within the State.

and put an end to the activities Of one Rev.

orr.KEY YorRsELr. FRIEND.

It is the Newport News Press, and not Thc
Richmond Ttrgiaidn, which is slightly out Of
tune Our esteemed contemporary on the lower
penjnsular has been making valiant fight for
the honor of being named headquarters for the
customs district OF Virginia and If Richmond
did not want the honor for herself she would
be glad to see the hustling city to the east carry
of the plum. The Press speaks in this wise Of
Bichmond's claim:
Every city is to be pardoned for singing It's
own praises. More than that, it is to be com
mended Tor a progressive spirit. But this neYs-
paper thinks that Richmond is singing off the
key when it says through the esteemed Virgintaa
that the claims OF that city to the designation
of the port of entry for Virginia ARE superior
to those either Of Norfolk or Newport News
The designation of port of entry for Virginia
means the designation of port, not an inland
city located beside a stream which could not
be nayigated by one of hundred ships that
comes to Newport News or Norfolk
AS we have pointed out, Richmond is not
a port Of entry, but is a port of receipt, the big
duties collected in that city being on what is
called immediate transportation" imports
which have been received through some real
port of entry and shipped by rail to Richmond
Newport News is the chief port for Richmond
and is the port for many cities in the West, and
as such has superior claims to the designation
as the port Of entry for Virginia Of any other
Virginia port
Passing over tho slur upon tbe beautiful
Jeems." we viii say that because Richmond is
not on Hampton Roads is no reason why it
should not be headquarters for the district 1t
is port OF entry technically now, and, to-
gether with Newport News Norfolk and Peters
burg will be a port of entry even though the
shipbuilding city obtains its hearts desire. IS
the chief port ofsentry lIehlnond does not wish
10 be named, for such an honor would be t.~an
ingless What it wants to be Is 5 We have
already said, the headquarters = tho customs
district if there is to be but OH district in the

no difference.
