Two things are most desirable just
now in Virginia. LIST. To bring back to
the old party ali the Readjusters who
have not gone over to Arthur and Rad
icalism. I'd. To prevent Mahoneism
from recovering from the blow it got
last winter. The most effectual way to
do this is to prevent his delivering the

read what Mr.. Moulton, of Illinois,
said about Mackey in a speech in the
House of Representatives. Mr.. Moul-
ton is member of the Committee on
Elections, and Investigated the case.
He said !:
"Mackey, who has knowingly and
willfully violated the law and every
that should actuate an honor
able man, who has fraudulently altered
and perverted the evidence in this case,
who voluntarily placed himself under
the most suspicious circumstances in
relation to the record in this case, which
no honest man would subject himself to
for dozen seats in Congress-Mr.
Speaker, I will not believe that this
House will seat any such man as
Mackey, with all these Accommodations
Of dishonorable conduct upon his head
and before the country, unless the Re-
publican party has made up its mind to
disregard fair and honorable dealing
and seize upon power without regard to
right, justice, or consequence" Jap

Why is it that the colored people will
not see that their white political allies
are forever making dupes of them9 In
the recent municipal election at Nor
folk, Meekins was the only negro nomi-
nee on the Coalition ticket, and he was
defeated, while the others were elected.
This clearly proves that the white Re
adiusters scratched hun. The colored
man is plenty good to vote for Readjus-
tiers, but he is entirely too bad for them
to vote for him. This is the kind OF
treachery of which this party is guilty
toward the race they profess to love SO
much -Abingd0n Standard

Feeding Horses Straw Hats.

In clearing away the debris of fire
at st. Louis, it was noticed straw hats
that had been damaged by water and
leather were thrown from the windows
and promptly coniscated by men and
old women, on the street. before they
scarcely had time to reach the ground
One old man was especially active in
lodging about and collecting mutilated
and charred straw hats. When asked
what he proposed to do with the hats,
he promptly replied:
II intend to feed 'em to my horse, of
course"
Don't you think they will make your
horse sick ?" inquired bystander.
''Of course not Why should straw
hat make a horse sick? Straw doesn't
cease to be straw when it is put into a
bed or hat any more than plant ceases
to be a plant when taken from the
garden and put in a flower pot. My
horse will eat straw hats. I've tried him.
Hay and feed are very dear now, and
all save in feeding my horse is clear
gain"
at this point he discovered several
large broad brimmed hats floating from
the third-story windows above his head,
and brought the conversation to a sud-
den close by placing himself in position
to catch them on the ay.-S. Louis Re

Nashville, May 18.-The General
Conference of the Methodist Episco-

elect bishop in the place of DIR. A.
G. Haygood, elected on Monday
and who declined to be ordained.
The committee on revisal present
ed a report recommending the
change in the name of the church
to Episcopal Methodist Church.
Rev. Ames Kendall, OF the Mlssls-
sippi Conference, expelled, was res
manded for another trial.
H. Sutherland, of Texas, presented
a resolution, which lays over for con-
sideration, declaring that it is contra
ry to the principles and policy of the
American Bible Society to teach pc
culiar doctrines of any Church and
claiming that they teach Calvanism
by publication of the Spanish version
of the Bible, with notes and COM
ments. The conference adopted a
plan for church extension.

Reading in the State Normal.


Me. Ep1roR: As is well known the State
Normal will meet in Knoxville in June and
July. In looking over tie programme I
see that no provisions have been made for
teaching reading.
To the teachers in the public schools
there is nothing more important. Many of
the teachers are very deficient in this
branch, and many of the pupils in the
schools receive no other instruction than
that given them by these teachers. I see
from the programme that Latin, French
and German are made optional studies.
Now. Mr.. Editor, while would mako no
personal objection to these studies, yet it
seems to me that reading ought to have q
place on the programme in preference to
almost an, thing else.
Very few of the teachers will have any
practical use for these languages, and all
will have use for reading. I would suggest
to our worthy State superintendent the i'm
portance of having reading taught in the
normal. When l say reading mean that,
and not elocution, in the sense some persons
use the term.
The school could be divided into three
section, primary, intermediate and senior,
and all receive such instructions as will be
the greatest service to the teachers.
I feel sure this will meet the approval Of
a majority of the teachers.
Now, Mr.. Editor, I merely make these
suggestions, hoping to awaken an interest
on the subject among the teachers, and call
the attention of the State superintendent to
\
tie optional studies in the State Normal,
and the appointment of an efficient teacher
for that department.
A TEACHER.
