TIE Atlanta Constitution Is a too well
informed Democratic paper to repeat
the story that Judge Miller, OF the
electoral commission, said that he knew
that majority OF the votes cast IN
Louisiana were for Mr.. 4ilden. Judge
Miller denied long ago that he ever made
such a remark.-JCgrH1L.
Whether judge Miller said so or not,
we do not know; but he might very pro,
perlv have said 50, Tor Il was true, and
we did not suppose that anybody ever
had any doubt Of il, The only question
was whether more Republican, votes
would not have been east but Tor lntlm-
Idation. As 10 the votes actually cast IN
Louisiana. even the members OF the re-
turning board would tell our nelgh0or
that the majority were Tor Tilden.-BoS-
ton H,rald RspD
But Justice MILLER voted with the
majority ofthe SKI commission to count
the State for HAYES, knowing, as the
H,ruH alleges, that a majority OF the
votes cast were for TILDES, and that
having refused to 20 behind the returns

THE PRESS ASSOCIATION AS THE
GUESTS OF THE CITY.

The welcome to the members Of the
West Virginia Press Association, who
meet in our city to-day, will be cordial
and hearty, on .he part Of every class OF
our citizens.
These men reprts.nt Individually
and collectively, not only every section,
but every interest of the State. They
are the sentinels who keep watch over
the political, business, educational,
moral and social interests OF the people.
They should have, as they doubtless
will, as fair an opportunity as their
limited stay will permit, to catch a
glimpse OF the vast manufacturing, mer-
camille and varied business enterprises
81 the city.
They viii want To- see the Boom, -
and as we have the animal on exhibit
ton, they should have every facility to
examine and "ieel OF him."
There is no need OF an exhortation to
our citizens to see that the short stay Of
these distinguished guests Is made pleas
ant and profitable. The uniform hospi-
tally Of our people insure this much.
Let them understand that they have
1.-THE freedom. of the city"
The latch-string Of the REGISTER office
is always out to members of the press,
but lest any should overlook it, our
doors will be thrown wide open during
the visit Of the West Virginia editors.
We trust that the meeting Of the As
ISOLATION will not only De pleasant rec
reation to the members, but will result
in great good n advancing the business
prosperity Of the press throughout the
State and giving it a higher. broa Ter and
better influence in the affairs Of the
State. The press Of the State has not the
support that it should have from the
people OF West Virginia. 1t has
not the encouragement il receives in
other States. Our people would be
more progressive if they were more
generally readers OF the newspapers.
Whatever can be done to give a more
general circulation to newspapers among
our people will enhance the general
welfare OF the state, as well as the IN
terests of the Association.

A FATHERS WISDOM AND A DAUGH-
TER's Hope.
After these events the assembly left
the house of prayer and went to their
homes with heads bowed down and
clothes torn like men who mourn and
who are humbled before their conquerors;
this they did that the Romans might not
conjecture their hidden thoughts. But
Rabbi Eliezer Hamodai was indeed sor-
rowful and bowed down with grief, and
his heart was deeply wounded and sore.
He came to his home, sat down on the
floor and read again the Book of Lamen-
tations. When he had finished reading
the first chapter, his feelings broke out
in bitter tears and he exclaimed: my
sighs are also many, and my heart is
faint.'* Alas the wickedness of the
Romans has not yet come before God,
their sins have not yet been repaid, the
transgressions of Judah are yet remem-
*The last sentence of that chapter,

if Judah had not forsaken Ephraim.
Titus would never have polluted the
Holy Of Holes, in the days of the Sec
ond temple, if there had not been quar-
rels in our midst, if the sword Of one man
had not been raised against his neighbor,
and if our strong men would not have
destroyed each other"
According to all these words did Shi-
neon (Bar Cochba) speak with due en-
thusiasm, and all the people answered
with one voice: "Whatever thou wilt
command us we will do, and all thou
wilt tell us we will obey, for thou art
our Messiah and chosen one"
But he answered them saying: Il can
not fulfill your desires unless you will
swear to me by the true God that you
will be faithful to me, that you will
execute my orders and obey my COM
mands."
I'VE will swear!' exclaimed they all,
unanimously.
Then he opened the doors Of the Holy
Ark, and taking the Scroll Of the Law
in his hands, he said in loud voice:
" on swear. .to me now*by God .the. Lord
Of Hosts and by the Book Of His Law,
that you will fight for our God and our
holy land against the Romans until your
last drop of blood be shed, and that every
man who will desire to make peace with
the Romans shall die, be he whosoever
he may so that all the nation shall see
and hear it, and never attempt to initiate
his cowardly conduct" " So spoke Shimeon
with great enthusiasm, and the whole
congregation as one man swore to serve
him with all their hearts and souls, and
to fight against the Romans till their
last breath. Then Shimeon again said:
Cursed be the man before God who will
not fulfill this oath, may his body rot in
the earth beneath, and his soul be ami
hilated in the heavens above"
The entire assembly responded,
Amen! Amen!!'

Eternal has set over you, and rebel not
against him nor God Almighty that
gave him power over you. Are you not
satisfied with the misery, destruction
and privation which our land has suffered
in the days of Vespasian and Titus
through the means of zealots and con.
spirators? Are you not contented with
the rivers of blood which through rebels
was shed as water?"
The words of the venerable sage were
not listened to this time either, for the
assembled congregation called out in one
voice: 1t is better for us to fall in bat.
tie than to bear any longer the iron yoke
which the accursed Romans have put
upon our necks. It is better for us, oul
wives and children, to die than to serve
those who blaspheme our God, and to be
trodden upon by their feet" In vain
did Rabbi Eliezer warn them that they
would be exterminated, in vain did he
picture to them the results Of rebel
lion and the great evil it would cause, in
vain did he entreat and implore them to
forsake their hazardous intentions, his
precious -Unrds.~and-- -pious admonitions
were wasted. For their ears refused to
listen, and their minds would not COM
prehend; from every corner thousands
of voices shouted: ''Let one Of the de-
scendants of David be king over us; he
will reign in glory, might and power, and
will rule us with justice, righteousness,
knowledge and wisdom. Behold the
man! It is Shimeon whom we will call
THE SON OF THE STAR! (Bar- Cochba). :.
Our wise men have predicted to us that
he is the MESSIAH of Jacobs God; he
is the one who will liberate us from our
tyrannical masters, and he is the STAR
that has come forth from Jacob"
Then the emboldened Shimeon (Bar-
Cochba) again opened his mouth and
said; wait the day of salvation and
the year of redemption have not yet
come; let us first send feet messengers
to those of our brethren who dwell in
Zipori and Alexandria, and to the child
rem of Zion who have been banished in
India and Africa, as also to those Jews
who dwell in Gallia and Germania; let us
inform them that an attempt will soon
be made to achieve freedom and indie
pendence for Israel. On the same day
that we will revolt against the Romans,
let our brethren of Zipori and Alexan-
dria arise and massacre all the Romans
dwelling in those cities. Let all the
able-bodied Jews Of Ethiopia, India,
Gallia and Germania, prepare quickly to
assist us in our warfare. And in the
meanwhile let us unite all the sects and
factions of the children Of Judah; let us
conclude covenant of brotherhood, an
everlasting covenant, that our hearts
shall never again become divided, and
that our unity shall never again be de-
stroyed. Nebuchadnezar would never
have attained victory over us, in the
days Of the first temple, if the hearts of
our ancestors had not been divided, and

bered before God and the resentment Of
tie Almighty is still poured out like fire
upon the remnant of Israeli He con-
tinued to weep and to moan until he fell
down upon the ground, uttering loud
cry of anguish, and became silent. His
only daughter, Keturah, let fall the
Book of Lamentations which she was
reading and quickly ran to her father
who lay upon the ground as dead man,
saying:
what ails thee, dear father; why has
thy face suddenly become pale; why do
thy bones tremble? My soul will leave
me because of seeing thy head become
water and thy eyes like fountains Of
tears by day and by night. Remember,
dear father, that am thy only daugh-
ter, and that in these perilous times I
have no other protector but thee. Re-
member, I pray thee, that without thee
[ am like ship in the midst of a stormy
sea; like forsaken lamb among devour-
ing wolves for it is only in thy shadow
that can live, under the protection of
a man like thee who is honored in the
ewes sof the emperor and the aristocraeK;;
it is only by thy brilliancy that | see
light. But what will become of me if
thou wilt lessen thy days by grief, and
shorten thy remaining years by mourn
ing; [ will remain a desolate orphan.
Alas! the very thought pierces my heart
like poisoned arrow, and were it not
for my anxiety for thy precious life and
health, that fearful thought could never
pass my lips How long wilt thou con-
tinue to mourn; for the sake of Zion put
an end to thy grief, and for the sake of
Jerusalem dry thy tears"
IF [ forget thee, 0 Jerusalem, may
the Lord forget me forever!" rejoined
the old man with trembling voice. IF
do not remember thee, 0 Zion, then
may the Eternal God never remember
me! I know full we'll that [ will not die
in my house as every may dies, nor will
expire upon my own bed, as is usual for
peaceful men in the world. But thou, my
daughter, thou wilt not be forsaken, for
the Father of orphans is also thy father.
He will preserve thee from all evil; He
will guard thee as one guardeth his eye,
if thou only keepest His commands and
loest that which is good and proper in
His eyes"
Then did Keturah begin to weep, and
she said: Dear father, why doest thou
not also rejoice together with all the
of Israel; why is it that
thou alone hast lost all confidence and
hope? See, I pray thee, father, the eyes
of all Israel are expecting the day of re-
demption; as the fawn panteth after the
brooks of water, so pant their souls after
liberty and freedom. Courage and
bravery have entered the hearts of the
remnant of Judah, and they have deter
mined to drive the Romans from the.

A HISTORICAL ROMANCE ADAPTED FROM THE

BY REV. DAVID STERN.

The words of the enthusiastic youth
were we'll liked by the assembled audi
tors; in moment their mourning was
turned into joy, and their fast to feast
day. They exclaimed, unanimously:
''Why do we sit here on the ground
mourning and crying, while we can fight
and attain victory! Let us arouse and
throw off the yoke, so that we may live
IN our lafd III Independence and free
dom! Let US rebuild our temple, and

Once more did Rabbi Eliezer Hamo

that your souls will live. Follow not the
advice of this crazy youth! Forsake not
the advice of experienced men to follow
that of boys, as king Rechaboan did,
lest your fetters be frightened and you
be chastised with scorpions instead of
being punished with rods. Alas! pre-
dict you that you are hurrying to the pit
of destruction, and that you will cause
the blood of the remnant Of Israel to be
shed. This is not an acceptable day, but
a day of misfortune and trouble, a day
of mourning and afliction; it is the day
on which our land was destroyed and
Gods temple burned twice. AS true as

Pinafoiore Last Night.

We treated ourselves last night
to another hearing of Pinafore. We
really cannot resist paying Sec
ond tribute to the delicious pro-
gramme given to the people of Los
Angeles by Captain Locke and his
amateur troupe. The popular favor
has, so to speak, limbered up and
genialized the singers. The whole
operetta is now, in the hands of our
gifted Angelefios, as mellow as q
ripe winter apple. Perhaps the
greatest improvement is in the act
ing. Plnafore is decided success,
and nothing succeeds like success
in bringing about dash and nom
chalance. Last night we were not
only delighted with the exquisite
singing OF Miss Mamie Perry but
surprised at her histrionic adj
vances. She developed famously
In the love-making role and acquit-
ted herself Of almost the aplomb
and archness of Emile Melville.
Vocally she is nonpareil. Sher-
wood was superb. His singing and
acting are up to the standard of
professional. Seymour Locke as
Capt. Corcoran is host in himself.
That reminds us that the gallant
Captain, whose fine presence and
capital singing have been great ad.
ditions to Pinafore, takes benefit
to. night. 1t should be made q
rousing one. BY its liberality the
young impressario and manager
should be made to understand that
his painstaking efforts to do an ar
tistic thing for our entertainment
are fully appreciated. Turn out in
force tonight.
