A PISTOL PLAST.-A few evenings ago
the librarian Of the Long Island Historical
Society," was startled by the report of a
pistol in the book aIcovcs. He made search,
but discovered nothing, and at the time no
other person was in the rooms. The next
day the assistant librarian heard similar
report, and close investigation revealed the
cause. An exhibitor had placed in the
rooms a case of tropical plants. among
which was the pistol plant, which is sort
of nus. At certa in stage of its growth the
she II of this bursts with violence, and with a
sharp sound exactly resembling the report
of = pistol. The shivered shells Of these
were found in the bottom Of the case.

A NATIONAL FRANCHISE ACT.

: The recent elections have furnished
:. the occasion for revival of the ques
: ton of Congressional regulation of thu
elective franchise in the States. The
advocates of such a measure begin by
conceding that a Constitutional ameud.
mont is necessary to its perfection, al
though it is held by Senator Sumner as
it was claimed by the late Thaddeus
Stevens, that the power is already vested
in Congress to prescribe the terms of
voting for Congressmen and Presidential
| Electors. 1t would seem, primarily,
! that government which rests upon the
popular voice should have the power to
prescribe the qualifications of its cleo
tors-relying for the justification of its
action upon the received maxim that
governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed.
We have, in previous articles. essayed
to elaborate our convictions in favor Of
a uniform and impartial system of suf-
frage throughout all the States, regula-
ted by a national law. 1t seems to us
that nothing but a lingering regard for
the exploded dogma of State Sovereign
ty interposes itself against this policy.
We fought to sustain the National
Sovereignty and won the battle why
should we stop short of the logical con-
clusion of that victory? 1t is not to be
denied that citizenship is an empty title ,
unless those upon whom it is conferred r
have the power TO maintain their CO. c
quality with all citizens, of every
grade. As it is, the States are given C
90 large power in regulating the con- l
erment Of elective rights. This is "
imply illustrated by the wholesale ma
uralizalion frauds which have been
'erpetrated in New York and elsew here
The government of the United States il
will not arrive at the majesty of per- O.
ect and supreme sovereignty until by
olemn enactment it says TO its constitu- II
nts that all its subjects shall erjoy u
quail and impartial rights and that citi
enship shall be complete and uniform 7
] all the States. The genius of genuine 81
epuolicanism demands this for Re er
ublicanism is born of justice ard sus- IN
lined by a well grounded conviction of /"
le capacity Of the people for self gov :"
-nmeHt. There being much reason for
e opinion that Congress at its present 81,
Ssion will submit a Constitutional IL
til
nendment providing for National Tin
-anchise Act, to the several States, it tn
att
the part of wisdom that the incoming Vi,
evada Legislature should be prepared pr

Hint TO BALD-HEADED PEOPLE.-Frede-
rick Kemp writes from the silver mines Of
Montana to the Herald Of Health, giving
the following hint in reference to a cure for.
bald headedness: y" 4 friend Of mine who
had the misfortune to be bald headed, know
ing that there is wonderful invigorating
power in the SUMS rays, last spring threw
away his hat, and worked in the gulch all
spring, summer, and fall, bare-headedy and
also for the first few days at midday For
q few days the rays Of the hot sun on his
head were almost uncomfortable after that
time he experienced no uneasiness what
ever. The result was that in the fall he
had good head of hair. And in this ex-
pertinent he was not alone. Several Of his
acquaintances who were bald headed having
followed the same plan, they were all for
tunate enough to experience the same re-
suit" The editor adds that o similar case
once came under his own observation, and
processes to have no doubt that the ex-
posture of the skin to the air and sunshine,
under proper circumstances, stimulates it
to a. healthy action, and with it those glands
upon which the growth Of the hair de-
ponds. L.' u. .i .s L+t

The BUTLER INQulsITIOS.- The question
has repeatedly been asked why Butler did
not call before him Mr.. Hugh j, Hastings,
who has publicly demanded q hearing. We
do not believe that he has yet been sum
moned but we find in the New. York Sun
the following, which may account for the
hesitation of Butler to bring this witness
forward: ', -4l+ "a "vG Il !"
at is reported from Washington that
General Buffers committee haye'summoned
Hugh j. Hastings to testify with regard to
the alleged impeachment corruption but
Mr.. Hastings has not yet received their
subpoena. He openly regrets its failure to
arrive, and declares himself anxious to ap-
pear and testify. We are, of course, not
aware what his testimony viii really he ;
but it can be proved that he positively and
publicly affirms that he is not only ready. to
swear that all his efforts in Washington
were in favor of conviction, but that MI.
Wooley told him that the, vWhiskey men
were not able to raise money to help the
President, because tthey hadrbeen obliged
to pay SO damnedly to Butler and other pro-
mincnt members of the House to keep the
whiskey tax at two dollars - The fact that
Mr.. Hastings proposes to give evidence OF
this sort is another reason why he should
be summoned in reality and speedily. de

II REPORT OF THE STATE MISSION BOARD. -
81. z. Enyson, Corresponding Secretary,
read the annual report Of the State Mission
Board, This Board is charged with the
duty of superinte nding and directing the
missionary operations of the General Asso-
ciation in Virginia. The report states that
twenty-seven missionaries were employed
during the past year, who supplied seventy
eight stations in eighteen towns and villages
and twenty-five counties. They preached
2, JAP sermons, baptized 427 converts, made
1904 visits to families for religious in
struction and prayer, organized four new
churches and eleven new Sunday schools,
and labored in meetings with pastors in
which 440 persons professed conversion, in
addition to the number which the missions
ries themselves baptized. ~
The receipts of the Board amounted to
81, I'LL ct and the expenditures to 81, O42.l7.
To pay off the amount due missionaries for
the year just closed s2,7O7.15 will be re-
quired, which, it is thought, will be met by
the contributions of the next few weeks.
The Board propose to increase the num-
Der Of missionaries the ensuing year If the
cooperation of pastors and churches can be
secured in earnest efforts to raise the needed
funds, and the report closes with IN appeal
to them for such aid.
This report was adopted after addresses
from Revs. William Fisher, J. c.. Hiden,
and Mr.. Poindexter. Delegates from West
Virginia addressed the Association, assuring
them that the Baptists Of their section were
in warm sympathy with Baptists of old
Virginia, and that they had learned that
the war is over. The afternoon session
was occupied with discussion Of Sunday
Schools, and deyising measures to promote
their efficiency and success. At night there
was a meeting Of the lay members Of the
| Association in reference to the special Ia
bors they should undertake for the promo
ton of the interests of the church, Colonel
Withers and Mr., John L. Mayre attended
the Association this morning, and were cor
