REVOI.LTION IX KAULAAU.

England ls to-day in tho rnldst ofthe grentest crlsis of three geiicra-tlons. History is belng made, TheConstltutlnn is on the vergo of revo-

lutlonary change, Never slnce tho

battle over the flrst Reform Blll, so

graphlcally descrtbed ln Macaulay'sletters, has thero been euclVn dan-

gerous rttpture ns that which occurredTuesday nlght when tho Lord Clian-

cellor announced tlie voto 0T1 the

budget ln tho House of Lords.Many factors comblne to doud the

polltlcal sltuatlon and to exclte the

public mind. Tho battle ls free trade

against the tarlff, social democracyagainst constltutlonal domocracy, Ire-land against the "nlien Parliament,"England against Germany, wage-earn-ers against the landed classes. Ono

party saw in the budget the lnevitabloresult of mtstaken free trade; another

regarded lt- ns tho lcgttimate outcomo

of lndustrlal conditions. One partybelloved the budget meant the awaken-

lng of England to crylng social nceds;tlie Unlonlsts regarded lt as a dan-

gerous Innovatlon, smelllng strong of

Boclallsm and conflscatlon. Ono partyeondemned it as an lllegitlmate ln-

vaslon of capltal anj landed lnterest;the other held lt a proper readjnstmentef the public burden. One. party de¬

clared lt an Insane war meosuro, almedat a foe that would not come and a

war that would hot rlse. The other

stoutly saw in it a necessary war

moaEure to meet the inevltnble strug-gle with Germany.But above these Involved Issties, one

gr?at questlon stands out, Sha.ll thevenerable House of Lords remaln an

active and Integral part of Kngand'slegislative maclilnery? Shall the Com¬mons havo the power to override theupper House and pass mlnlstorlalmensures, rogardlcss of the Lords7 Ithas boen 23S years sinco the Commons

declared "that ln nll alds glven iho

Xlng by the Commons the rate" or tax

ought not to be altered by the Lords."Durlng nll theso years tho Lords havonever fully admltted the clalin, butWhen they dld protest, as ln the paper1act of 1S60, they were decldedlyTrorsted.But the Lords have changed slnce

the seventeenth century. They repre-eent, not the tradltional land-ownersof England, the feeble sclons of one

honored lines. Few of them carry thelrtltle back three generatlons, and more

than half of them have been elevatedilnce 1830. They represent the bestbralns and the acknowledged leader-shlp of the emplre. But many of fhemare large landed proprletors, and as

ruch have arousea the dlstrust of

popular leaders. It ls diftlcult forthe Llberals to see how a man llkethe Duke of Sutherland, owner of a

mllllon acres of Iand, can falrly rep¬resent the best interests of all classes.Hence demagogues havo denounced andpartlsans have condeinned the peersas undemocratlc and unwleldly.

It seems as tft'o-ugh tjie much-abusedLords are novr Invltipg the final-test.By appeallng to the country, when theKlng dlssolves Parliament, they wlllgive the people an opportunity notonly of paaslng on the budget, but ofsaylng who shall be the real rulers ofEngland. Beiore the general electlonsare past a revolutlon wlll have takenplace. Upon that revolutlon the des-tiny of the emplre may depend.

MAJOR CAItY AND THE AIUIORIES.Major Cary was right ln reslgnlng

hls command two months ago, andwas right agaln In Insistlr.g that hisreslgnation be accepted. The armorlesare for the mllitary, and uses of themWhich interfere with their prlmarypurpose, however laudable ln them-aelves. must be prohiblted ln the d!s-cretlon of the offlcers, This was thepolnt which Major Cary rcs'.gned toestablish. and which we thtr.k he hasfully establlshed ln the public mind.An ordlnanee embodylng this polntwas lntroduccd In the Councll follow¬lng hls reslgnation, but what becameof lt nobody knows. That the Councllmeant to smother lt. we hava no ldea.Probahly lt .meant to pass lt when fchad a conv«nlent moment, which mlghthave been durlng 1S10 or mlght nothave been tlll later. Naturally, MajorCary dld not thlnk lt conslstent withhla personal and offlcial dignlty toleave hls reslgnation indennltely pend-tng.The voluntary retlrement from the

mllitary of thlB popular offlcer anduseful cltlzen wlll be regretted. At theeame tlme lt wlll not bo In vain lf ltdrlves home the polnt whtoh broughtlt about. It should never bo necessaryto lose another offlcer on ihls partlcularscore, We should say that now was«mphatlcally the tlme for the Councllto dlve Into lts plgeon-holes, overhnulits archlves, ejarlcate that wise ordl¬nanee and pass lt.

A "LOVE AND MAKHIAGE" TflESIS.One of those recurrlng "love and

marrlage" dfsousBlortB has been startedamong the correspondenta of tho NewYork. Tlmos, and, as always huppensWhon a theme' of unlyernal "heart" tn-ter««at 1b throwh Into the ujora, letterafit all sons and condtUons aro atream.

"I loved my hu*>band whon I innrt*tad," she wrltos, "«ninever lookerl ahend moro than weshould nlwayn bo together, but nownlmost liale him, not for anythlng 1khns done, but ho had no rlght, atni "<man should take a'girl to wifo wherhe hns no way to take caro of n fam¬lly."Though she wrltos ln tho Thnnks-

glvlng season, her letter rlngs, notwith thanktulness for ,-provldentlalmercles, but with bltt'erness and ro-

Ijcllion. Thus:I am not grateful for health nnd a

this letter, bltunes lt nll on tho wo¬

man. "Whlle "descrvlng of sympathy,"It says, "sho Is to n great degree thovlctlm of nn unfortunnte tempera-ment." nnd "woul_ evldently bo morothan half mls-erable ln the most fav-orcd of life's clrcumstances." Noiloubt this Is tho strlctly correct andmoral vlew to take: But tt ls about as

effectlvo as tho cheery "All Is for thobest" to the torn, rackcd and passlon-ately protestlng heart whlch, for thomoment at lcast, knows better. Itloesn't ln tlie least help peopfc's trnglcvvoo- to nssuro them that it is all thelrCault. Llfe happens to be n thing ofnard fncts nnd condltlons, not mercly)f higli-toned theorica. It must belvetl,* not by angels, but exactly by.hesc people who have fnults. If this.voman's temperamcnt ls her fault, so

tre those of Iiundreds of thousands of.vomen exactly llke her whose storleslever get Into the newspapers; andhe pertlnent thing to Inqulre ls.vhether somethlng ls not wrong withtondltlons whlch brlng so many hu-nan llves to wreck through weak-lesses that are tho common lot.If love Ie even one part llluslon,

Ist her fault that ln the succeedlng.ears an lnvoluntary process has gonem ln her consciousness which hasrradually transformed her husbandrom knlght, paladin and klng Into a

vholly lneiTectual and unadmirablolerson who ls too feeble evon to winrom his cnvlronment enough to caro

Bread and cheese and klssoaounds ample lo thelr rapt vislon. andletalls connected with the purchaaeif shoes are lost ln the rosy prospect.rhat wlll do for glrls who are bullthat way, but lt wlll not do for men.

-fo man has the rlght to take advan-age of a girl's tgnorance and her loveo turn her into a Hfelong drudge forils pleasure and comfort. Sooner or

ater the girl is apt to nnd him out, torct an untlnte<j vlew of his processes,md then they feel like this girl that'hevhad no rl^'ht." Wo see here the.everse of the large and loose Roose--elt lnjunctlon to multlply and replen-sh the earth. In a small section of a

mail class of our soclety thj-t advicenay have been needed, though, of:o«rse, that ls exactly the sectionvhere no attentlon would ever be paido it. Bvorywhere else tt was muchvorse than urseless. We don't need to

irge our young men to marry and the¦t-st of lt. We rathcr neea to urgeh'em to prove that they are economi-¦ally fit for marrlage, to urge them toook beyond thelr lmmedlate desireso the sobering rcsponsibllltles that,vlll last through llfe. The age otnlracJe Is j-ast; the ravens do notsrlng food to the needy; Provldenceloes-not clothe man llke the lllles of:he field. There is nothlng in the leastaoble about the lrresponslble man who>oftly surrendera to hls flrst prompt-ings and flings hlmself on soclety forthe rest. Love sweetens labor, lndeed,but when tho labor outlasts the love,.is it oftcn does, there ls the deuce topay; and tt ls n good deal to expectthat every clear-sighted girl wlll goon looklng up to a man oT thla sortwhen once she has found him out.

GOOD KOIl -1IH. UNTERMTER.A day or two ago Samuel Untermyer,

THE CIIURCII-GOING MEN OF RICHMOM>.

It is Rlchmond's good fortune to re

celve many comp.limcnts and tribute*Few visltors come to us without beln*Btruck by somethlng unusual, ln a deslrablo and attractlve way, about tlv

city. The pecullarly grntifying thtn*Is that these polnta of admlt'atlon ar.

of widoly varylng sort, which Bliow:what a many-sided appeai this oltcity hns. Some visltors are particularly imprcssed by the physlcal beautjand charm of Richmond; some by thi

dellghtful soclety or by tho splendl-climate; some by the uniform klndnea:and courtesy of the people; some bjthe signs of stirrlng materlal progrcstand prosperlty ln a city thoy hatthought of chiefly as "hlstorlc"; other!agaln by the poaeo and orderllness o:

our daily llfe, by our many objects ol

interost. by any one of a dozen thingfwhich go' to make Richmond what itis.tho best town fo llve in ln th<Unitcd States.

. To the Rev. J. T. Watts we are in-debted for calling attentlon to a new

polnt, a polnt whlch provlous so-

joitrners and new-comers have over-

looked, and which we are very glacIndeed to see brought out ln so au-

thoritative a way. Comlng here frorrLoulsvllle with a wide experience, MrWatts reached tho concluslon that b

larger proportlon of men go to churcrand Sunday school ln 'Richmond tharin any other Southern city, and honccln the country. More than the men oiother cltles, he finds the men of Rich¬mond are devoted to the uses of re-

Hglon. We have no doubt that Mr,Watt3 knows exactly what he ls talk-Ing about, and that hls statement ls

entlrcly accurate. Maybe this explalnsmuch of the rest that we are all so

proud of. A ehurch-golng, God-fearlnglot of men ls the best Imaglnable ma¬

terlal for a city to bulld upon.Most of those features whlch glve

Richmond her dletlnction among citieaaro very generally conceded. Hertnorals. however, have been often calledtn question. Because thl3 city is not

ready to accept reformatory experi-ments which well-meanlng amateurcrusaders declare to be necessary forher soul's salvatlon, she has beenfreely plctured as a dreadful "whiskeycity," a munlclpa! debauchee, a rottenSodom, a den of inlquity and a cess-

pool of vlces unspeakable. We Invitethe attentlon of such portrait-palntersas these to the words of Mr. Watts:"And if the men of Richmond are

greater churchgoers than the men ofother Southern cltles. they are, ofcourse, the greatest church attendantsln the country, for lt ls recognlzedthat the men of the South are more

falthful in thelr religious dutles thanthose of any other section of theUnlted States." We Invite thelr mlnds'eyes to turn for a moment on theplcture presented ln the Second Bap¬tist Church last Sunday, when a singleSunday school teacher waa teachlng thegospel to a Bible class of 275 men. Ifthet-e are the signs of an immoralcity, all our standards and criteria are

aopelessly astray.

Amld the roars of ulter disapproba-tion from our Brltisli cousins, we rlseto remark that tho Hou6e of Lordswore very nice clothes.

John D. has heard of a "?E,000,000r-onsplracy" to make way with him.Unless our calculatlons are mllea off,Investlgation will show that his oldenemy, Hook Worm, ls back of thlasoniewhero.

Old Sol ls growing «o deeply at-tached to Richmond that wo lmaglnethe nlghts must nearly break hls lieart.

After all, Chlna ls havlng as nearlyas much trouble gettlng through thatloan as an ordlnary human belng wouldhave.

The latter's descend-ants havlng become extinct In the malellne, tlie castle passed, through thedlstaff side of the house, to the Her-borts, a Junlor branch of the house, ofwhich Lord Pembroke Is the chlef.There wero Herbert Earls of Powia,Marquesaes of Powls, and even a Dukeof Powls, who played a role at thecourt of St. Germain after the depo-sltion and extle of James II.The great Lord Cllve'6 aon marrled

tho only slster and aole heiress of thelast of the Herbert Lords of Powls, andon becoming through this unlon theowner ot Powls Castle, and of all thePowls property, wu3 promoted to theearldom of Powls of tlie present cre-ation.

rcllcs and marvelous, Indian curlos,brought from the Or^ent by the flrstLord CUve, who, it may bc remember-ed atormed Calcutta and lnrllcted con-dlgn punishment on lts ruler for theatroclty known ln hlstory as "theBlack Hole of Calcutta." There aremany lnterestlng: thlngs at Powls Cas¬tle, not the least among them belngthe stato bed-chamber occupled by thePrincess of Wales during her vlslt lastweek. and which was tenanted ln 1644by Charles I. whon he sought refugeat the castle.The late Earl Powls, an uncle of the

preaent peor, was a somewhat ecoentrlotndlvldual, and his entire life may besaid to have been overshadowed bythe fact that he had accidentally kllledhls .father, the second earl, whlle outshootlng. He was not on partlcularlygoods terma with hls nephew and helr,and when the latter, as George Her¬bert, marrled the famous beauty, MIsbVlolet Lane Fox, they had extremelylittle on whlch to Uvo^ In fact, theirclrcumstances at flrst were very stralt-ened. Before many months had passedthe late earl dled very snddenly, andthe young couple found themselves allat once ln possesslon of a very largefortune. The lato earl, among otherodditles, had a passlon for hoardingthlngs ln out of tho way places, andthe most amuslng stories are told ofthe extraordlnary dtscoverles of hld-den treasure made by Lorrl arid LadyPowls when they flrst took possesslonof the castle after thoir unclo's death.Rooma that had been unopened forhalf a century or more were Invostl-gated, and many preolous thlngs, ln theshape. of old plate, enporb jewels andvaluable palntlnga, of the exlstence ofwhloh no one had the sllehteBt Idea,were brought to llght.Lady Powia remalns to this day a
