''For some time past, the newspapers of
this State have been discussing this iden-
tical question. We have taken no part
in it, for the simple reason that its solu-
tion does not seem to US practicable at
the present moment. Besides, other is
sues might arise in the future, and there
is ample time to consider them all. But
in regard to the conoiliatory policy pro-
posed by Judge Aldrich, we have word
to say. We do not wish to 'conciliate
the negro, but rather to teach him by
public declarations and private acts that
we will do him ample and exact justice,
recognizing his rights under the law and
pledging the Democratic party not to in
terfere with those rights. If such con-
duct on our part begets confidence, it
will be of permanent growth, and the
negro will appreciate the oft-repeated de-
cluration. chat his best interest is to CO.

Without distinct and settled policy,
based upon principle and common sense,
we must not expect the colored voters of
this State to forsake the leadership of
carpet-baggers and recreant Southerners.
Through these instrumentalities, they
have secured extensive privileges under
the law, and it is not reasonable to sup
pose that they will throw off their allie
glance to the radical party, unless they
feel perfectly safe in every respect that
their present advantages will not be les
sened This is substantially the ground
occupied in other Southern States, but
as yet we have seen no indications that
the leaders of the Democratic party in
this State intend to grasp the situation
in all of its bearings

A wonderful cure reported from Penn
sylvania with HEN1rsH's QUEEN's De-
LIGHT. A girl fifteen years of age, pale
and sickly, emaciated, no appetite, losing
flesh, with sore eyes, sore mouth, and q
general wasting away-all owing to po-
verify of blood. After using four bottles
Of the Queens Delight, her appetite re-
turned, digestion improved, increase in
bright and clear, and every indication of
an improved condition of her whole sys-
tenn. This is one Of the many cases we
hear of the wonderful results of Helm

North and South, wherever introduced,
it is spoken of in the highest terms. O19.

The AMERICAN INCAPACrTY FOR HIS
ToRY.-The New Orleans Times says:
'How futile and valueless are all the
attempts to write the history of tho late
war-how unreliable are the statements
and estimates of those historians, who
wrote from the and-point of their par
tisan relations, to the struggle and events;
how hopeless is the longing for a just,
manly, truthful and impartial narrative
of the incidents of that great contest,
has been demonstrated by thousand
examples. So that no honest man of
either side in that controversy can read
any ono of the hundred standard histo-
ries' which have been given to the world
as faithful and veracious records, with
any confidence in the truth or any respect
for the impartiality of the writer.
''All our histories have been written in
a partisan spirit and with one-sided
view. TLis is true as we'll of our late as
of previous wers-as well of the revolu-
tionary contest in 1776, the war of 1912,
and the war of the great rebellion.
"a stranger reading our so-called ma
tional histories is painfully impressed
with the lack of sincerity, moral courage,
magnanimity and fidelity to truth, which
they all evince. 1t seems to be a natural
incapacity Of tho American mind and
character to write, and to appreciate
truthful history. We arc too apt to APP
ply to such narratives the same tests
which we employ in judging of public
men-they aro wiso, honest, truthful and
great to the extent they agree and act
with our party. Every man and Fevery
net must be viewed in party light. No
good can como out of Israel no man
can be wise, honest or great who does
not stand on our platform, or vote our
ticket. This is n spirit and habit un-
worthy of Republicans. AS long as it
prevails the national character can never
attain that magnanimous development
which true republicanism demands. Dem
agogism and partyism must form essen
tial parts Of tho only heroism and great
ness that are valued and rewarded by our
people.

by writer, who claimed to be tho author
Of an authentic and reliable history of
that war. We refer to Horace Greeley,

tic and veritable of histories. In truth,
it is nothing but campaign document,

THE DENOUEMENT OF THE AERoL1TE.-
As we predicted, the terrific explosion of
which we gave an account last week, was
caused by the descent of IN immense
mass resembling metallic lava in state
of fusion, which occurred about twelve
miles Northwest of this city. The ex-
plosion took place in mid-air and one of
the fragments fell in the yard o' Mr.. j.
M. Lattimer, of Stewart County, and
penetrated the ground to the depth of
eighteen inches. Mr.. L. was absent at
the time, but returning home and ascer-
tanning from his family what had bofal-
len, proceeded ut once to excavate the
strange substance and soon brought it to
light. \ portion Of the same is now on
exhibition ut Eufaula.
Doubtless further investigation will
reveal the presence of other fragments
OF the huge mass, the explosion of which
was heard at distance of thirty miles.
We hope to be able to procure relic of
this wonderful curiosity, and trust the
whole may be secured and forwarded to
the Smithsonian Institute, with an au-
thentic record of all tho facts connected
with its descent. CuthbeI Appeal, 14M.

PRINCE ARTnUR.-The Toronto Cana
day LeGder says:
Prince Arthur must surely sigh for
some repose after the exhausting labors
he has had to perform since landing in
Canada. Ho arrived ut Halifax on the
21st of August, and in the seven weeks
which have since elapsed, it is calculated
that he has received and replied to about
10 addresses. attended 12O luncLeons
and dcjeuneurS and 45 balls, danced with
GIT partners, received 100000 or SO of
bouquets. shaken 20, 600 hands, shot $50
head of game, travelled 5000 miles, been
made IN Indian chief, and listened to
several million "God bless Huns" The
addresses, it is computed, would, if
joined, make sheet about threc-quar-
ters of n mile long, and the slaughter OF
animals to supply the parchment must
have been fearful. After all this work
the Prince is certainly entitled to some
rest, and no one will grudge it to him
when he returns to Montreal.

SHORT NOTES.

The wheat and fruit crops in Ken
lucky are reported in unusually fine
condition. Oats and potatoes have
been suffering for want of rain in that
portion of the State about Falmouth.
-Orders have been issued by Gen.
Logan, Commander-in-chief of the
Grand Army OF the Republic, in refer
ence to the collection and editing OF
all reports and, materials relating
to the recent memorial services at the
soldiers graves. All committees and
posts, and others interested, are re-
quested to forward reports of cere-
monies in their localities, giving all
the facts possible to the editor, Col. Il.
j. Hinton, headquarters of the Grand
Army of the Republic, Washington.
The first volume, for some cause or
other, has not yet appeared, although
it is ascertained that the former editor
has drawn his pay from Congress,
amounting to $1,000.

cerning the use Of church buildings in

il is a good speculation to sell il and
build another church further up town.

GOSSIP FOR WOMEN.

A new fancy for muslin articles is
embroidery in cOlcrs, done with silk.
Guipure scarfs and sacks are more
fashionable than fichus for the street.
The fichu capes are still worn with
narrow ends, which are knotted on
the bosom.
The loOped capes and odd notched
ones hanging deep in the back are not
seSQ on the best suits; they dishgure
tlf&form.
A very dressy white body is made
of crossed plaits, edged by valeneien-
nes lace over bias satin, and in front
is crossed like fchu.
Decidedly the handsomest dresses of
the season are the India mules, the
nainsooks and bishops lawns, made
up for the watering places. .l
A tasteful suit, well prOportioned, is
trimmed on upper skirt, and three
ended basque with ruffies, having one
edge only bound narrow with black.
Muslin bodies, so much worn few
years since, are still worn as adjuncts
to dresses of color, and, modified in
shape, are also graceful additions to

not their political power that is to be

is a long time since g crowd has dis
turbed the peace of Paris, and the
phenomenon is worthy OF attention,

which gave nearly half the voters of
