Some Councllmen were elected yes?
terday wlio ought to have been de- '
feated. and sou:.- were defeated who
ought to httrc been elected, but The
Times-Dispatch believes Ui.nj there is
fair reason to hope thai the new Com?
mon Council will rise to the full meas?
ure of Us duty and responsibility. A
pood proportion of the friends of the
new plant of government have been
^returned, although more "i Its erib
inles have retained their sftats than
was desirable. The balance of power
In the new lower bran, h will be held
by men whose records do not negative
the possibility that they will attain j
that breadth of vision and that patri?
otism ot purpose so essential to the j
efficient discharge of their offices.
There Is no reason why Councllmen ]
cannot rise on the stepping stones of
'unprogressive records to a loftier and
a more patrlotlo attitude, the Times
Dispatch earnestly trusts that the n?w
Common Council will go down In the
annals of the city as patriotic, effici?
ent and progressive?thai it will do its]
full share in making our new form of
government an unquestioned success.
REXEWA1, OF PEACE PIIISSSI HE.
The fanatical outbreak In Fes, in?
volving a mutiny of native troops,
Slaughter of aliens, looting and rap'n;,
has cnused renewed pressure by the
powers to end the Ttirko-Itallan W ar.
Heretofore the pressure has been al?
most entirely exerted upon Turkey;
now Jt Is being equally exerted upon
Italy. Tho reason for renewal and
abandonment -of the policy of p.laying
favorites is found In symptoms and
signs that the spirit of the PVz uprls- i
lug threatens to spread; that there ar; ,
grave indications of the affair becom?
ing tJic signal for preaching :t holy |
war. France Is thus singularly men?
aced and deeply concerned outside of '
Morocco, by reason of her Algerian'
holding and protectorate over Tunis.
The latter is an especial dancer spot. !
sin . in that country are some 60,0001
Italians, who at present are, aside from
religious considerations, tho obj/icts of;
in:- nse Mohammedan hatred, due to
Italy's seizure of Tripoli. In greater j
or less measure tho same conditions i
exist in Alglers, und tho provocation
and Incitement to sympathetic attacks
Upon tho Itallnns in both of these
Islamic strongholds are therefore ap?
parent.
That Tripoli If, territorially, com?
pletely lost to Turkey does not admit
of debate. No, one supposvs thai Con?
stantinople does not recognize and
realize that fact. Since Italy has gone
to her prevent limit, she cannot afford
to roHnriiuls.il" her grip, nor could toe
other European Christian nations afford
that she do bo. Positively or nega?
tively, ttrti powers have Indorsed Italy's
tv>up and conceded that .men or late.
In the working out of manifest destiny,
It had to come. Any ehnnpe by them
of tlielr attitude, on the question would.
In the eyes of tho Mohammedan world, j
lie an '?xlilhltlon of weakness and Irres- i
olutlon, fraught with possible dlsas- !
trous consequences as affecting their
overlord Ship or Moslem subjects.
But Turkey would save her face.
That sho accomplish this is essential to |
the maintenance of th.-> Voting Turk 1
rerlme; |s essential, in truth. In nssui - |
tne against widespread Internal Insur?
rection. Tho powers, for their part,
foresee 1n a holy war, or even in a
eyriis of revolts in "Northern Africa;
the prospect of Immense drain of hi....a
und tr?asure, a long period <>i turmoil !
and demoralization, and tie- decay of
tho material fruits of years of pad ft
cation and et onomlo development. Tur- |
key's face-saving ultimatum ami con- !
ditlon precedent to treating for poace
Is that Italy withdraw her decree of
annexation. Tho proposition now is
that the Italian government comply,
agree to negotiate thereafter,' to secure
a protectorate over Tripoli by compen?
sating Turkey, and also formally rec?
ognize, the Sultan as the rightful
Caliph.
It is proposed. In short, that Italy
?hall dominate Tripoli and hold it In :
trust virtually ?fter the manner in
which Great Britain ? dominates and
holds In trust Egypt. This spells per?
petuity of possession, absolute absorp?
tion, In fact. If not In name, and dicta?
tion In all affairs: of the people
save- their religious matt* rs.
It is well known tlmt the tnly bond
of union between the Mohammedans of
Tripoli, Tunis. Algiers and Morocco add
the Arabs of the back desert, on the
onn hand, and Turkey, on tliq otlur,
Ib tin: law oi the prophet and animosity
towards the Christian Interloper. North
African. Arabian and Egyptian natives
resent the Turkish >olte from the gov?
ernmental vi. wp'ojnt, and in default of
Indep-ndir.ee and apart from tite obli?
gations of the faith, would is lief live
Under one oppression Its another. Given
that, the pr/wer.t would solve the pro?
blem by concession to Turkish pride
ftTi 'iSiiiaataeTM^niri ^L^U' '"? the in
fiushce of the Calipli In suppressing
such uprisings as that in Morocco.
This Is Hit- issue on which ?o uro
toW the powers sirs calling upon Italy
to rust n deciding vote, thai is awaited
with intense anxiety through ut Ku
ropc.
RICHMOND is till Vi ri l i..
When little children are wildly hap
i v they voice their hearts in the wise
demand, "Do It again." Like little

holiday, Rlchiiiondcrs bid tho Wednes?
day Club, "Uii it again ' Tiny want
spring alwaprs to i>e made memorable
bj .concerts like those thai have this
yeni made nrt sweeter for thousands.
The city has never had u liner time
than for the past two duy?i and no
music festival, anywhere, was cvur
more successful In all that lends bril?
liance and charm. Everything ? graci?
ous and friendly' conspired t>> bring
pleasure. Must of all was th.- appeal
Of youth, The audience, the chorus.
the soloists?all were radium with the
glamor Of the younger years,
'if course, home folks enjoyed most
welcoming a native son who returned
with the laurels of a great world vir?
tuoso. His genius, as a pianist and as
a composer, lias the serious ubiding
quality of great art. Richmond Is
proud to have her name joined wttli
that of .lohn Powell. No less a source
of pride was the performance of the
excellently trained chorus. Th,. soft
lilt of the "Hnrenrollo" ami th,- swing
of "Martha" told ,,r \ovj and earnest
work ah its members have ihe deep
satisfaction of knowing they have
given pleasure ?.r the best kind t"
their fellow-citizens.
The visitors were famous already,
hut they never received a slncorer tri?
bute than here. The girlish beauty 'if
Mine. Gluck, and the dramatic tire of
Mine. Homer, and Carl .lorn and ftlc
cardo Martin will be remembered for
years. A constant delight, and the
foundation on which the whole dream
fabric rested, was the splendid work
of the orchestra under Josef Paster
naok. It was superb in its very self
effacement,
j But the adjectives have run out. .\
simple duty remains?that of in some?
way expressing the gratitude und ap?
preciation of Richmond to the mem?
bers of the Wednesday Ulub, who, by
persistent effort through years, have
at last made real such a triumph. The
greatest praise is theirs because all
was made possible by their haul
work.

'''he eighth annual report of the
Virginia State Library kindles both
dissatisfaction and satisfaction. Dis?
satisfaction, bocuuse of the Inexcus?
able and almost unbelievable negliu
enco of which the oenoral Assembly
was guilty In failing to take adequate
steps to protect the priceless books
snd^mahuscrlpts of the people of Vir?
ginia from lire and destruction. Sat?
isfaction, because of the superb work
that Dr. Mcllwalnc and his assistants
are doing despite cramped quarters
nml llm'ted appropriations, und even
more satisfaction because of the
scholarly work of !>?? It. .1. Reken
rode, chief archivist. In compiling
from the historical resources of the
library a list of r.fi.ooo Revolutionary
soldiers of Virginia.
Almost three years of the most care,
ful nml exacting labor have been de?
voted to this work by Dr. Eckcnrode,
who lias welded* out of n mnss of
confusing data a' Hat which will not
i only be of the greatest aid to his
' torlans and genealogists, hut also of
! lasting value to the people of the did
Dominion, who have in this excellent
beginning the assurance that some
day they will possess an almost com?
plete roll of those Virginians who
fought under the patriot's Hag for the
freedom and the independence of
the American people. A historical
achievement of thisj sort grows in
value as the years go by. Increasing
that Just pride in patriot ancestry
which Is one of the finest assets of
the Old Dominion. The list clears
away much of historical doubt as to
the number of Virginia troops in the
Revolution, and makes it certain that
the number from Virginia "was- in ex?
cess of the number with which the
Stale has Sometimes been credited.
it was n vasl labor of patient re?
search, that or Dr. Rckonrpde's, but
closeted with bis manuscripts ami his

better und far more enduring service
than tin whole en ?? of official sub.
Ordinales who have been "taken care

partment heads. None but a scholar

Why does ihe W>ir Department re

session of the department? Such if

Mcllwalne ami Eickenrode declare that

to men offers a shrewd comment on
.American society, in some mysterl
: oils way the women of the country ;
? seem t<> he born with an intuitive i
; sense of social propriety that their
' husbands must have thrust upon
' them. The reason perhaps lies in the .
fuel that our men have been too busy |
in a long and arduous struggle with
1 nature to feel the need, or to own i
the leisure for learning that manners
[in themselves may a-?d to the pleasuro
ami beauty tif living. Hewing at the
'cold faets of existence left them scant
time for polishing the product beyond

been subdued, the dcslro for rcllne
Imont and delicacy in social inter

j wealth and leisure.
j There is a praiseworthy anJ often |
I of the country* to incorporate In their j
j pathetic eager.-icss in the new parts i

and elegance that tho older com
j I..unities have to, offer. They are
.protul of their own achievements, yet
' not blind to tb? gentler and sweeter
j aspects of homo-life and friends. They
'want to surround their material com?

I IV e doubt whether finer Instinctive
good breeding Is to be found any
where in the world in fuller (lower

something may be added to Instinct
from the codes of those who have for

Dost thou see not one face of the

Forever have vanished the radiant

And bitter remembrance with anguish

Our dreaming about them since
In death they were stilled

With their Bighlng and weeping and

Ere sight comes again to eyes blinded
with teats
And our infinite longings are lost In

Turn. turn once again. Heaven's

The tones of those voices we. once

Watchman: oh, watchman! dost thou
not bear them sing
The glad songs of the blest 'n the

Come strains and soil echoes from
that dim. distant shore ?
When tlie evening ?-rar rises I then

The dear, tin-ring vnb-es that on

And, at tfhies. when the gates and

To welcome some spirit just trans- j

A vision of glory surges through?as

Shows the depth of the waters that

Soon the hand of Jehovah will draw

And disperse the dark mists that

With voices triumphant will the glori?

Our vision eternal in the home of

A Primary Problem.
To the Editor of Tin- Times-Dlspat li:
Sir. Any party primary w'll fail of
its intent that permits the Introduet'on
01 the iloatlng voie, which is nc'ther
Hie one thing nor yet the other tli'ng?
Ftepulbllcan, Independent or Democrat?
who do or will lend themselves for
a consideration or without it. or who
consent to waive their political in?
tegrity to help out a friend or defeat a
political or personal foe. A primary
drawn on strict party lines, with Its
utmost endeavors, will fail to exclude
those factors, which contribute to de
teat the will of the parly as well as
the people, who by their Inaction eon
sent to the party's rule. -
A primary in theory is one thing;
a primary in fuel, as heretofore dem?
onstrated, differs with theory as the
day does with the night.
The present discussion of tills sub?
ject In the city of Richmond is of far.
leaching Importance to the State at
large, and it Is to be hoped ,t will
be fought out on lines lending to Its
equitable solution
Rehlnd It all lies the moral sense or
obliquity of vision, by which the ?volcr
refuses support to the winning asp1
runt, voting rather ~for his political
opponent, because his own fand!
wjs defeated. With many the op pi;
elation of their obligation In this
spect is uttcrl) wanting, and In mani^
cast h publicly denied?foslore
if. und encouraged by tin- solicitation I
of the candidate, who usually knows
in advance of solicitation, yet may
