RATES OF ADVERTISING,
who is A Genilemane

A gentleman is not merely person ac-
quainted with certain forms and etiquette
of life, easy and selfpossessed in society,
able to speak and act and move in the world
without awkwardness, and free from habits
which are vulgar and in bad taste. A gen.
tleman is something beyond this, that
which lies at the root of all his pleasing is
the same spirit which lies at the root of
every Christian virtue. 1t is the thought
full desire Of doing in every instance TO
others as he would that others should
do unto him. He is constantly thinking,
not indeed how he may give pleasure to
others for the mere sense Of pleasing, but
how he can show respect to others-how
he may avoid hurting their feelings. When
he is in society, he scrupulously ascertans
the position and relations of every one
with whom he comes in contact, that he
may give to each his due honor, his pro-
per position. lie studies how he may
avoid touching conversation upon any sub
ject which may needlessly hurt their feelings
how he may abstain from any illusions,
which may call up a disagreeabe or
offensive association. A gentleman never
alludes to, never even appears conscious of
any persons defect, bodily deformity, infe-
riority of talent, of reputation of the per-
son in whose society he is placed. lie
never assumes any superiority to himself
never rldicules, never sneers, never
boasts, never makes display of his own
power, or rank, or advantages-such as is
implied in ridicule, or sarcasm, or abuse
--as he never INDUCES in habits, or tricks,
OF. inclinatlons which may be offensive to
others.

VALUABLE PROPERTIES OF CUNDU-
RANGo.-Though the medical profession
have unanimously rendered their verdict
against cundurango as a specific for the
cure Of cancer, the drug is not therefore to
be expelled from the materia medica. DR..
E. Andrews, of Chicago, commune
Gates to The Medical Examiner the result of
his observations upon this drug in the treat
ment of ulcers, and his conclusion is that
it favors granulation. This effect. he
says, becomes manifest within
few days after the use
of the remedy, and the contraction and
cicatrization of the ulcer follow rapidly.
The results of its use in indolent ulcers,
following after the suppuration of buboes,
were not so marked, but yet always favo-
rable. From all this Professor Andrews
concludes that cundurango may be of SER
vice not only in external ulcers, but also in
chronic assesses, in all Lucrative and
pustular skin diseases, and in surgical
cases, where it may promote the union of
fractured bones. 1t generally increases the
appetite for food, diminishes constipation,
and often acts as powerful tonic.

TO the Editor of The State Journal. .lsI. rE8R
Will Messrs. Sener and Smith, Republic
can congressman from Virginia, inform
those who elected them to Congress, why
they voted for Governor Walker to preside
over the st. Louis convention? Such a
question would not arise, but both of
these gentlemen knew that the convention
was called in the interest of the James
River and Kanawha improvement, and its
completion by the federal government, and
that Governor Walker was the bitter oppo-
nent of the scheme. They both knew he
had officially announced his opposition to
it, and preferred to give the states inter-
est to private individuals, or ring of such
persons as he might select. Why, with
such facts before them, did they fail to pro-
test against the election of the enemy Of
the great work to preside over the con-
yention? Such weakness meets with the
hearty disapproval of the men who eleva-
ted them to positions of honor and trust.
| believe the selection of Governor Walker
would have been appropriate and de-
served compliment to Virginia. and no one
would object to it, but for his known off
cial opposition to the scheme, for which
the convention was called. A#5E

The Adhesive Quality of President
Grants Cabinet

WASHINGTON. May 19.--One of the
rules, which has been applied and contri-
buted largely to keep intact President
Grants cabinet is the non-interference by
mutual agree nent of the President with
either of the respective ministers, or by
one department with the policy of another.
Without disclosing any secrets of the cab
met derogatory to its dignity prominent
member Of it asserts that no interference
of any kind with either of the secretaries
in their respective lines of policy in govern
ing the operations Of their departments has
ever taken place by the President or be-
tween one another except where such in
reference or aid has been asked The
same distinguished member declares that no
presidential cabinet has ever developed such
harmony and unity Of action fopso long
time as has existed by the present cabinet
through this rule of non-interference with
each secretary in administering the work.

PETERSBURG, May 20.
To the Editor Of The State Journal
I On the Republican side our city cam
paign may be considered as fairly opened.
We have made our nominations on the
general ticket, and all the wards, except
First ward, which meets tonight for that
purpose, have made their nominations for
counclmen, justices of peace and consta-
bles. 1907
In q great majority of instances the pres
eut incumbents have been re-nominated
both on the general and ward tickets. This
is as it should be. The old officers have
proved faithful men, doing justice to them
selves, their constituents, and to the city,
and it is a graceful recognition Of these
faithful services, as well as wise party
policy that has dictated the denomination
of our tried leaders. AS result of this
we will have a glorious triumph in the cleo
ton of our entire ticket next Thursday.
I Our opponents at the eleventh hour, are
making frantic efforts to rally their scat
tered and demoralized forces, ard their
papers of this morning make announce
ments of meeting to be held tonight
with the following flaming head lines:
Meeting Of Conservatives" "a square
fight" ''No terms with Radicalism.o
"a straight out ticket to be nominated"
''Rally, Conservatives" For fear that
they might be lonely and disheartened by
holding meetings scattered about in the
various wards, they have appointed all the
meetings to be held in the same place, the
same night. So tonight we shall have a
Conservative mass meeting, six Conserva-
tive ward meetings, and a Conservative CITY
convention meeting in the same hall.
OF course their only stock in trade is
. the white man against the black man."
This rally ing cry is conspicuously paraded
before the people by the press here for the
purpose Of trying to scare their friends into
measures. But the crack Of that whip
has ceased to be terror to all thinking
men. sr en- OCCASIONALLY.

interesting bankrupt Case.

MONTGOMERY, May 19.-The case of
the petition to place party in bankruptcy
before the United States district court in
this city some weeks ago, and which was
denied on the ground that the cotton losses
occurred when there was no actual deliv-
cry, was taken up on a petition for re-
view before Judge Woods, Of the United
States circuit court. He gave an opinion
to-day dismissing the petition for review.
The counsel for the petitioner alleges that
his dismissal was on points that can be
remedied by taking the case to the same
court on a writ of error, which they pro-
pose to do, and an opinion covering the
whole ground of liability of future losses
will be rendered in December. In the
meantime the refusal to adjudge the party
bankrupt for losses IN future stands.

The Question of Cheaper letter POST
age,

The Boston Journal has the following
The government furnishes these cards, en-
graved and delivered, and carries them all
over the country to their destination for
one cent each; why, therefore, could it not
afford simply to carry an ordinary letter,
which costs it nothing in other respects,
for the same sum? The difference in
weight between the card and the average
letter is something, but it is not a
tenth part of the present difference in post
age. 1t may be said that the department,
in authorizing the use Of the cards, counts
upon vast increase of mail customers !;
but so it might, and even to still greater
degree, if the rates of letter postage were
cut down to one cent. So far, in nearly all
modern countries, the increase of postal
business has very fairly kept pace with the
reduction of postage. We trust, there
fore, that this new experiment will be
carefully watched, to see whether it does
not warrant further step in the direction
Of cheap postage.

the commissioners do not consider that

withhold the money until these conditions

ANOTHER SAMPLE MERCHANT
Mr.. +. Ii. Romano, travelling sales
man, was arrested in this city Yesterday
on the charge of selling by sample
and in violation of the laws of Vir-
ginia. lie was taken before Justice
Grew, and held for hearing before the POI
lice justice. On being called this morning
the case was dismissed, satisfactory evil
dence having been furnished the court that
there was no intention to violate the law.
It may be proper to remark, for the benefit
OF others, that the law imposing license tax
on sample merchants is still in force in this
state, and that trouble and expense may
be avoided by complying with it before
beginning operations. The Legislature last
winter reduced the state license to $25.
