,qEs- 1t was our fortune, or rather mis-
fortune, to pass the Episcopal Church last
Sunday evening, and we were shocked to
see so many boys and waut-to be.youpg
men assembled in front of the Church
1t is said that "actions speak louder than
words" and certainly no action could
speak louder against the moral character
Of any one, than the Que under c9nsdcra
ton. 1t shows a want of manners, want
of the proper training at home and | had
almost said want Of brains. It does at
least show that those who are guilty of
such conduct, do not exercise the small
amount they do possess, We could find
some excuse, if the Church was not large
enough to accommodate all who wish to
enter, but as it is, we must condemn the
Practise. No doubt, they flock thithor to
see their "Ladie fair" and to this we can
not and will not offer any objection, but
we do think that if their charms draws
them to the door, their influence could, if
properly exerted, cause them to enter, and
worship with them, and We think no Lady
having proper respect for herself would
permit'a young an, who was ashamed or
afraid to enter the house of God, to ac-
comp ny her Nome, Ladies, we are a de-
1out believer in Jour power, either for good
or evil, will you exsrt it in the cause Of

discussion in Mt. Sidney.

To the great surprise of everybody, our can
ddate for the Senate, Mr.. Stuart, had the te
merity to meet the Great Mogu of Augusta De
mocracy, Mr. Skinner, at Mt. Sidney,on Saturday
last, at the risk of being swallowed alive. We are
happy to say, however, that he was miraculous
ly preserved from fate so dreadful, and some
persons were even so foolish as to think thai
Mr.. Skinner himself was duly masticated ant
digested. On this point, we express no opinion
ourselves, but it gives us great pleasure to say
that Mr.. Stuart made most capital speech, ant
left fine impression upon the minds of the au
dence. We only wish that larger number q
persons could have been present TO hear hi:
plain, common sense presentation of the Distri
button question, which must have carried con-
vcton to the minds of all who are not blinded
to the truth, by an irrational and foolish devo
ton to party dogmas. ..,....r.......
After the discussion, Messrs Koiner, Christian
Hartman and McOue, candidates for the House
Of Delegates, briefly defined their positions to
the people.

Caution {!

We have heard the prediction that there would
be in this canvass, as there probably is in every
election and by members of all parties, great
deal of that sort of trickery called TRADING
votes" We have trading voters as we'll as trad
ing politicians, and we desire to caution our
friends against any such operation. One Demo-
crat may swap off his vote with fifty Americans,
and one American may do the same thing with
fifty Democrats. The operation is swindle by
whomsoever practised, and we warn our friends
to reject any such proposition as certain to work
to the disadvantage of some one on orr ticket.
Vote the entire ticket from Congressman doon,
and you will have the satisfaction to feel that
you have cast good honest vote for good honest
men, representing good, honest principles. .

Gov. Wise's Last.

Gov. Wise's Louisa Speech in which he adj
vocated distribution, having recently been re-
ferred to by the newspapers, he has come
out in letter denying that the speech ex,
pressed his sentiments. He says it twas made
at the hastings in an excited political canvass,
and ''the intent was not to put forth my own
opinions on measures of policy and constitution
al questions, so much as to contrast and compare
the opinions of Mr.. Clay with those of Mr.. Van
Buren,, at time when it was thought they
would be the competing candidates for the Pres
idency." Nothing the Governor says or does
nova. days can excite surprise, or this letter
would "astonish the natives" No politician
ever before made such confession. SO recent
ly as 1866, Mr.. Wise declared publicly at Char
lottesville that the Louisa speech contained
Sound doctrines" yet now he says, 81 repeat
that my opinions on leading measures, as pub
lie man, are not to be found in that speech. "
The Richmond American gives the history OF
the speech 1t was not delivered during an sex
cited canvass" but at q dinner given to Mr.
Wise by the Wings of Louisa, in October, 1889
long before the canvass Of 1910 opened. Mr.
Wise, moreover wrote out the speech himself
during the succeeding six weeks, published it IL
pamphlet form, and sent it TO Richmond for pub
LEGATION in the Wing 1t has been thrown up tc
the author from that day to this, and never re-
undated till now
