THE "SUN Do MOVE" IA Phila-
delphia Republican journal, cons
menting on the lectures of the color>
ed preacher Of Richmond, named
Jasper. to prove that "the sun do
move" attributes his profound ig
norance of the subject to the blight>
ing influence of slavery. Consider
ing that few centuries ago every
body believed the same thing, and
that the great reformer, Luther, in
particular, denounced Copernicus in
the most unmeasured terms for pro,
pounding the doctrine that the earth
moved around the sun instead Of the
sun around the earth, it is not easy
to see the connection between slavery
and opposition to the Copernican
system. If the ancestors of Jasper
had remained 10 Africa that rever>
end gentleman would probably be
now worshipping the sun, Ike so
many of his race, instead of having
learned the true God and become ia
miliar with the sacred oracles.-
When we consider the superstiti9ns
of the native Africans and the PRO-
gress which so many of their de-
scendants in the United States, like
Jasper, have made in Christianity
and civilization, it must be acknowl
edged that those of them in this
country edo move," whether the
sun "do" or not. --Balitimore Sun.

The nomination of George Sheridan, to
be recorder of deeds in the district of Co.
lumbia, is the latest phase of Mr.. Hayes
civil service reform. The Office is an i'm
portant one, and is worth $4,000 or more
to the holder annually. 1t has been held by
Mr.. Wolf, with whose discharge of the
duties no fault has been found. Wolf is now
thrown out to make room for Sheridan.
whose sole recommendation to place is that
he did some campaign oratory for Hayes
and knows rather too much about the cleo
toral frauds in Louisiana, where he belongs
to make it safe to have him lying around in
a disconnected mood. Sheridan is a perfect

IRREPREssIBLE MYRA.

Mrs.. Myra Clar1: Gatnes. Haring 0oLbled
Ne,c Orleans aud Baltimore, VIII Grab
st. Louis.
Washington Telegram st. Louis Republican.
Either Judge Wardel, of this city, or Mr..
or two, go to st. Louis to institute proceed
ings in the United States court for the re-
covery of certain property for Myra Clark
Gaines. The estimated value of the prop
erty is $5,OOOOOO, and is claimed under the
same title by which she recently secured an
immense tract In New Orleans, after many
years of litigation. The first duty of her
attorneys will be to examine the records TO
see what portion of the territory covered by
the plat Of st. Louis is embraced in the
land of her father. She cannot designate
any OF it except that portion known as the
Southern hotel property. She claims that
the proceedings in the New Orleans
case cover exactly the case of
st. Louis; that her father secured the prop
erty on Spanish and French grants, and
that 1t was transferred by Ref, her fathers
executor. as in the New Orleans case. The
decisions of the supreme court have decided
her legitimacy, and that Ref violated his
iduciary relations. and made fraudulent
transfer and title. The decision of the
supreme court [Sixth Wallace, delivered by
Justice Davis, now Senator, held that the
statute of limitations did not hold against
her right. Her attorneys say that as all points
have been decided, all that is necessary in
| the st. Louis case is to make practical
application of them to the
estate of her father, Daniel
Clark. They say that the acts of Congress
in 1916 confirming the report of the COM
missioners appointed by the United States
to report upon Spanish and French claims
embraced in Missouri and Louisiana, the
former territory at that time, will show the
title clear. It will be remembered that after
the final decision of the United States SUI
preme court in the Louisiana case, Judge
Billings, of the United States court there.
appointed commissioners to make estimates
on the rents and Improvements to the prop
erty in addition to the title. These commits
sioners have reported and the judge has af-
frmed their report, giving final judgment
for 81, 100000. Immediately afterwards Mrs.
Gaines Instituted proceedings in Baltimore
| on claim exactly like the one at New Or
leans and St. Louis. The Baltimore people
| in the light of the result at New Orleans
compromised with the claimant before the
court could act. When Mrs. Gaines gets
| through with st. Louis she will institute
proceedings in the court of claims for trac:
of land now. a part of New Orleans, which
she claims belonged to her father. In 1926
Congress gave Lafayette 100000 in cash
and q lot of land warrants. His agents 10.
Gated on the land Of her father, and the gov
eminent allowed this to be done. Lafay.
cites agents afterward sold the land, Mls
Gaines now goes before the court of claims
for the value of the same which she places al
| $6,000.O00. When the ST. Louis and the
Lafayette cases are finished Mrs Gaines says
| she will quit.
