WHAT DANIEL SAID TO CAMERON
port of the speech of Daniel at Henry
Court house, where he first met Cam.
erOn in discussion -
maj. Daniel said, while upon the race
question and public schools, 81 want to
say this, Col. Cameron is too much of 3
gentleman to misrepresent man, and
as / do not want him to misrepresent me
hereafter, I want to say this for his in
formation 4 know he has rot before.
except unconsciously, made such an al
lusiOn y [ want to sag that the state
meut, from whatever source it came,
that I am opposed to the public schools
is a falseboOd, and that any man who
shall state hereafter that l am opposed
| to the public schools will have the brand
of liar written upon his brow when he
does it. am not opposed to the schools,
| because they are the cheapest and most
assured system of education, and if elect
ed Governor 1 will do all in my power
to promote education in public and pri-
vate schools" Maj. Daniel said this
was q very peculiar kind of party we
are fighting, and alluded to the incon-
sistency of Col. Cameron now coming
forward as the friend of Malone, of
whom he had once said, "There is a
malign influence being exerted by Viii
liam Malone who is sticking his tenta-
tive into every body's business" Now,
Col. Cameron, who bad been in the par
ty, and was cheek by jowl with its lead
ers when they did the sins for which be
held them responsible, and who only
left the Democratic party after it had
become perfectly pure and unobjection-
able-Col. Cameron, who had occupied
almost every position man can get in,
and waltzed around every gooseberry
bush on every kind of case, now exalt-
ing William Malone and endorsing ev
cry deed which he did in the United
States Senate"

How 1t would Work.

T -f
! The following is a very clear ilIustra
tion of the operation of General Ma
homes readjustment of the State debt
presented by Judge Willoughby:
Let US see how this works in practice
A purchaser of . 81 900 bond, at its full
market value. with its six per cent. cou
| pons attached under the Fuuder Bill o
1871, pledged by the honor of Virginia
| according to what the Supreme Cour
has held to be valid contract upon full
consideration, presents it to Commits
sioner, whose duty it is by the act to re
fund the misrepresentation refunding
He is told that he can have a new
bond for $3.50, with interest at pei
cent. right to tax reserved
The following, which would naturally
be about the substance of the interview
illustrates the true question: 2
/ BonGholder. Explain this ?
Commissioner. Well, you see you,
bond of ST 900 was about one-third toe
large; one-third of it being fer unpaid
interest during war and reconstruction
B. But did not the holder of the bon d
for which this was given release his
claim upon Virginia for a about one,
G. Yes; but we do not now regard
this release. West Virginia ought to pay
it anyhow.
B. But have paid for the bond as a
81, ,0G0 bond?
c. Well, we cannot help that.
B. Very well. This reduces it to
reduction of $136.66?
n Wall tho holiday Of {h;o bod H..
received interest on 1898 33 too much
should be still further taken from the
bond.
B. But did not get this interest.
G. We cannot help that. This Is a
SOY ereign State, and you must take this
or nothing.
B. What do you call this process
G. Elimination.
B. All! it suggests to me rather ug-
lier words.
B. No! no! This process is sanctioned
by the approval of the great, debt pay
ing, high-toned, pure minded Republia
can party of the country.
B. Good God Well, what security
have I that you will pay the $3.50 and
per cent. interest? The colored preach
er that sent his hat around the congre-
CATION for contributions did get his hat
back. You expressly reserve the right
of the taxation of this new bond.
G. You have the honor of Virginia.
B. But that did not seem to be suffi-
cient for the 81 900.
G. No, but we have changed. We
have been converted. We are now for
a free ballot and fair count. We are
for justice. pure and simple. Why, the
fact that we now profess justice to tine
colored race ought to convince you that
we will be just to our creditors. We
propose thus to eliminate S13, 900, 900.
The natural reply of the victim would
be, "If your treatment of creditors is
an index of your sense of justice, God
help the interest of the cOlored race en-
trusted to your hands," Perhaps he
might say, 81 prefer to keep my $1,000
bond, with its self-executiDg six per
cent coupons, which in the twenty.four
years will bring me interest of 81 ,44O, to
your bond, with such security, which
will bring only $7S7 in forty years, and
this liable to be reduced by taxation,
and then leave ST. 900 principal instead
of $3.50.

My bed thou hast been watching long,
My pillow oft is smoothed by thee,
That this poor. aching head may rest
Soothed by thy touches-easily.
Oh. smooth II but few times more,
Then shall cease to need thy hand,
For here have not long to stay
I'm Fastening to better land.
For weeks and months here have lain.
What sleepless nights. what restless day g.
But oh, Goods thoughts are not as ours"
And neither are His wondrous ways.
But soon they'll bear me gently forth
Beneath Summers azure sky,
And lay mel in the quiet tomb.
For man was only born to die.
Then shall cease to wait and watch
And listen to the noiseless tread,
Nor look to thee to raise me up
I Or shin me on my snowy bed.
No, in my grave IN need thee not, -.
There thou wilt never bring to me
A cooling draught from well or spring.
Or dress my wounds so tenderly,
Or gently close the window blinds
Or turn the burning taper down
That wounds my vision now at night.
No more thou'll come at midnight's hour
And stoop to catch my faintest breath,
Lest. unobserved, might cross DER
The stream Of fast approaching death.
No more thou'll fain look of cheer,
Nor on me smiles serene bestow,
Or turn away to hide the tears
That down thy cheeks so often flow
But fare thee well for death is here,
But, ah, to me it hath no sting
ITO God, the Father and the Son.
. Let loudest halleluiahs ring.
Now here we pause and ponder long.
And could we WELD gifted pen,
In glowing rhythm we would tell
His virtues DER and DER again;
But, ah, no grand or shining lore
Could add one rapture to his bliss,
And shado,cs can but be portrayed
By such an humble pen as this.
He was gem in Houor's crown,
And without spot or blemish died,
Bat in the furnace heated oft
This holy man of God was tried.
Yes. many wounds wer made within
His noble and heroic breast,
But they were all in silence borne
And like him they have sunk to rest.
A life of labor and of toll
Was here upon the earth his lot,
Through darkness and the pelting storm,
He hastened to the humble cot.
In stately halls and novels low
Alike his christian glaces shown,
And by his chaste and upright walk
This meek and lowly man was known.
The mighty throng, the saddened host,
Around the dust with flowers rife,
But told in language most sublime
The beauties of his godly life.
He's gone, this good, this useful man
Ye sods, lie lightly on his breast,
His pure emaciated soul
Hath found at last its "long-sought rest"
Yes, stricken ones, ye have the bliss,
He'll never weary or grow faint,
Behold the Savior on the Throne
Beside Him this exalted saint
And though through sorrows and throug
tolls
Your way upon the earth you plod,
Oh, have faith that will not shrink,
AS had this holy man of God.

New York Tribune: Governor St.
John has sent letter to the Woman's
Temperance Union of Chicago, which
sets at rest various rumOrs relative to
the nature and probable operation of the
prohibitory law in Kansas. The Gov
ernor writes: THAT many of the Whis-
ky dealers in this state are moving to
Kansas City, Mo-, Ii true, but for every
saloon keeper that goes out of Kansas on
account of our prohibitory law, suffi-
cient number of sober, industrious, en-
ergetic families come into the state to
build a school house, and Kansas can
always afford to trade her saloons
for school houses, and drunkenness for
sobriety. That part of the letter which
alleges that the law interferes with the
free and unrestricted sale of tinctures
or compounds that are used solely for
medicine, is not true, nor does the law
directly or indirectly interfere with the
right TO administer or partake OF wine
at communion services. All such sto-
ries are instigated and circulated by the
whisky ring in order to break the force
of the prohibitory law in this state, for
the advocates of free whisky we'll know
that when it has been thoroughly tested
and proved, which it will be, that prohi
bitiOn in Kansas is grand success, 9TH
er states will follow our example, and
eventually the policy of prohibition will
be a fundamental law of the United
States. Notwithstanding the law does
not take effect until the 1st of May next,
already the saloons have closed in most
of the interior towns of the state, and
after the first of May we will not have an
open bar 10 Kansas-nor will Kansas
ever again be guilty of giving the sane
ton of law to that which everybody
knows to be wreng."
