of the paper.
THE POLITICS OF THE APPEAL
VIII be, as always,
Strictly Black Republican. or ''RadicaI:'
And the editor anticipates with pleasure the
probability that in supporting the next Re
publican candidate for the Presidency, he
will support
GENERAL GRANT IN 1880.
Meantime the APPEAL will nail the Old Flag
to the mast, and neither surrender to the
Adherents of the Lost Cause,
Nor give its support to policy which
Demolished the Republican Party of
the South,
And sought to
HandcuR 1t in the North.
In short, the MORNING APPEAL will keep
on an even keel and stand by the friends of
Republican principles, Republican usage and
the Republican leaders of tried courage and
ability.
But the APPEAL will be especially valuable
as an
ADVERTISING MEDIUM,
Because of it's greatly enlarged circulation.

WHICH MOVES ?

The rotary question as to the SUP
and moon has brought another emil
nent colored pastor OF Richmond TO
the front That is Rev. Mr.. Draper,
pastor of Ebenezer church. The PM
losophers whom Rev. Mr.. JASPER so
boldly challenged to refute his views
have 50 far remained wisely silent
Not so, Mr.. Draper. When he read
the report of Jasper's discourse IN the
morning paper he was supremeIy DIS
gusted. He was also alarmed lie
regarded it as rank heresy. lie
thought of his flock and his duty to
guard the Ebenezer people against
being carried away by every wind OF
doctrine. Mr. Draper is sound on
the question. He is with Gallleo.-
He believs ut moves that IS the
earth. He could not therefore re-
main silent, whatever the phlloso-
pliers might do. He took Jasper
sermon for his text the very next
Sunday. Of course he planted HIM
self in square antsgonism to the sun
running round, whatever might be
said in the good book about its rising
and setting. lie took no note at the
close Of his discourse but his large ana
appreciative colored audience mani
tested by frequent plous e]aculatlons
that Calico had been eloquentIy sus-
.tained. But Draper has only reused
Jasper to greater earnestness. lie
has no idea Of the world being on i
wild goose chase after the sun every
dav. 1t is absolutely preposterous
He is not afraid to meet brother ORA
per in public discussion. Nor is broth
er D. afraid to accept the challenge
And now all Richmond is stirred uT
by the great theological solar contest
The debate was appointed for Sunday
last and as no church could hold the
expected crowd it was to come oft II
an open grove. This is an age Of pro
press and fresh discoveries and new
departures. There's no knowing
what may turn up.

WHISKE PUNCH.

The cry comes from all quarters
that the state and county prisons,
.almshouses and hospitals are over
crowded with inmates. Larger accom-
molations aae sorely needed for the
poor victims of vice and atlliction.-
We have at the same time the EN-.
phatic testimony Of courts and jnrlos
that this fearful state Of things is
mainly the result Of intemperance.-
The expense of it consequently falls
II ost severely on the non-drinking
class of tax payers. There is a grow
ing feeling, therefore, that it is high
time u full share of the burden should
be transferred to the right shoulders.
That as whisky and beer are the
main cause so they should be made to
pay more literally toward the expense
of crime and pauperism. 1t is hardly
disputable point.
Blu, how shall they be made to pay ?
A very efficient tax collector seems to
have been found IN Mottat's bell punch
which has now a years trial in Vir-
ginia. 1t takes its name from the in
ventor, DR.. Moffat, OF Richmond. The
idea was suggested to him by the OPP
Grafton Of the turn stiles at the Cen
tcnnial Exhibition which registered
every admission. The Mottat bell
punch which now adorns every bar
in Virginia is simple contrivance. A
small box shows on its upper side six
di9ls with an indicator moving over
face of each dial. The box has crank
and bell. When a bar tender receives
pay for drink he pulls the crank and
the bell gives notice of the registry
of drink. Every bar has two reg
listers, one for spurious the other for
malt liquors. They are 10th open to
view. Every bar must show its reg
listers under penalties of fine and i'm
prisonment. The scheme met with
abundance Of ridicule and denunca-
ton at first but has fought its way in
to permanent favor. The legislatures
Of New York, Pennsylvania, Ken
lucky and louisiana are now consider
ing its adoption. In Virginia the
revenue from this source last year
amounted to several hundred thou
sand dollars.
