How can the colored men Of Virginia ex-
pect their white fellow citizens to respect
them when they permit their preachers to
treat them as they do? At recent Ma
hone convention in the Valley, colored
preacher, said that what he would do with
a negro who would vote the Democratic
ticket would be, "To hang him to the
highest tree in the ecclesiastical forest, and
to bury him so deep that the hand of res
direction could never reach him." White
men don't allow their preachers to talk to
them in that way, and the mere fact that
colored men do, strengthens the belief en-
tertained by many of the natural inferiori-
ty of the colored race. If the colored peo-
pie want to be considered the equals of
their white neighbors, and to deserve the
respect of the latter, they must conduct
themselves as the latter do, and must have
more self-respect and more independence
than to submit to such treatment from
their own race as white men would not
bear from theirs.-Ales. Gazette.

TEMPERANCE REFORMATION IN GER.
MANY.-Our readers will be interested tc
learn that grand temperance movement
has begun in Germany with the court, the
clergy, and the physicians actively enlisted
on the side Of reform. The famous Won
Moltke is at the head Of the column, and
the first organized movement was made
some time ago at the silver wedding of the
Grown Prince. The Germans, however,
says the Norfolk Landmark, are wise in
not confounding temperance with total
abstinence. The scheme is not austere ol
unreasonable, and simply calls for what the
word temperance implies. The German
movement grows out Of a sense of what is
described as an obvious necessity, and il
has been undertaken on q scale so gigantic
that there is every reason to believe that il
will achieve great private reformation, and,
consequently great public blessings The
judicious nature of this grand enterprise
should be considered by the friends of TEN
peranee all.over the world, and as they watch
the movement that should constantly bean
in mind they total abstinence is not the
means selected by the Germans for the at
tainment of their end, which is the estab,
ishment Of temperance among all classes
of the Empire.

The Republican party has thus far shown
no sign of recuperation from its terrible
defeat in the election of 1892, when the
people throughout the length aud breadth
of this country, sat down on the bosses so
heavily. We hear ofdefections from every
where and it is not confined to any class
either. The people are sick and disguised
with shams, star route swindles, corruption
OF high officials and the numberless jobs of
fostering iniquities which have been fasten-
ed upon the public in the name of Repu bill
canism. The old party of ''morality' is
badly torn up in nearly every state in the
Union, and there is nothing at present to
indicate that the bosses can ever again rule
the party as they once did.

THE PUBLIC SCHooLs.-Th paper is
now, has been and always expects to be, a
sincere and earnest advocate of liberal
and enlightened system of public schools
But for all that we have not lost our euui-
ibrium; and we stigmatize as the worst
enemies OF the system those zealots who,
from either ignorance or sordid selfseek-
ing motive, would convert this benefcence
into political football. 1t is part and
parcel Of the Malone tactics to affect flu
rious solicitude for the education of the
masses; particularly the negro masses.
Five-sixths of their votes are negro votes.
They really care nothing for the negroes
They are set Of political hypocrites, roust-
abouts, spoiliators, and plunderers. To
propitiate the negro vote they pretend, all
on sudden, to believe it matter of su-
preme Importance to give University edu-
cation to the blackamoors. They vote
money by the hundred thousand from de-
pleted treasury to found Normal Insti-
tute for negroes of both sexes.'' With all
chicanery and detestable demagoguery as
this we have no patience. If the dogs
were sincere, why do they not accept the
fair and equitable proposition of the Dem
ocratic platform to give to the negro schools
negro trustees and teachers, and their rata
Dle Sndro vi IHe SCHOOL 1unQ? why, we
say, do they not accept this? We repeat,
why do they not? There is but one an
swer: they are a gang of miscegenation
wretches who pander to the vile prejudices
and passions of negro politicians. They
would minister to these prejudices and pas
sions by intermixing whites and blacks on
the school-boards. Everybody but an ass
or an idiot understands their dirty devices;
and there is no use of wasting more time
upon them. We are for iudicious, lib
eral, comprehensive system of public
schools. In the counties nothing more
should be attempted than to give sound
elementary English education. This is all
the State can undertake to do. Any young
man who has brains in his head, virtue in
his heart, and sand in his gizzard can make
his way in the world if you give him a good
English education to begin with. This, in
our opinion, is as far as the general system
of education, at State expense, should I'M
dertake to go. Because the Mahoneites,
in order to beguile darkeys and dotards,
profess "a more advanced system of higher
education" Gncluding Greek, Latin, Sans
krit, and Coptic,) we shall not espouse the
policy Of ''seeing them one BETTER by adj
vocating still greater extravaganza and
absurdity Virginiaa.

WHAT He HAS DoNE.-In summing up
we find that this man Malone, through his
railroad management, his ''malign influ-
ence' in the Legislature and State govern
ment, retarded for years the commercial,
manufacturing, and agricultural growth
and interests Of Virginia; that he injured
all her cities to the extent Of millions of
dollars by his course i'll betraying their in
terests to the northern corporations; that
he prevented direct trade being established
between our seaports and Europe at a time
when everything was ripe for it; that he
especially aimed the shafts Of his revenge
against this city, whose streets he is now
ashamed to publicly walk, lest the odium
of our people should make itself too ap-
parent; and finally, that when he found
himself defeated politically and deprived
of power over the railroad system of Vir-
ginia, and no longer able to injure any one
in that direction, he massed the negroes of
Virginia against her white people, and,
renegade like, placed himself at their head,
and permitted them to trample his own
race, his own flesh and blood, under their
black hoofs
And is this the man, Virginians, proud
race that you are, you propose to continue
as your ruler throughout his lifetime
Heaven save and protect us if such be
your purpose; but we do not believe you
intend it.-Richm01td State.

Some Of the Indiana Republicans threat
en- to have Dorsey indicted for bribing yo-
tiers in that State unless he stops tie ling
what took place in 1880. Unless the kind
ly influence Of statute of limitations could
be invoked in bis behalf, Dorsey wouId
be speedily convicted. The New Yorker
who discussed half a million dollars or so
on the mere initials of the Arkansas ex-sen-
ator is alive and well. But wiser counsels
will prevail. Already the abuse and denial
which followed Dorsey's early publication
Of facts have ceased in the organs. He is
not now praised by the Grants, Arthurs
and Beeehers of the party as he was three
years ago. but neither is he denounced as
he was three months ago.

How can Northern man vote for the
Mahoneites, when their leaders pronounce

How can a Southern man vote for them,
when the Boss himself votes against the
repeal of the statute prohibiting ex-Con-

GRAFT vote for them, when their leaders,

when the negro is only fit competitor with
monkeys for chestnuts? How can the

Virginia farmers are rich and don't need
protection How can poor man support

of which the Boss was President ap-
preached him with covered head at the
cost OF their places? How can the tax
payer vote for them, when. their leaders,
who enter Office as poor as church mice,
after year or two OF service can afford to
stock farms with imported cattle, turn
their houses into palaces, and make thou
sand dollar subscriptions to Republican
campaign funds in other States? How can

tic and shall once in his life have opened a

LOCAL OPTION IN GEORGIA Hon. Jas.
Jackson, Chief Justice of Georgia, in an
article in the September number Of the
North american ReUieac, says:
''The day of the grog-shop and of that
which it produces-the intlamed passion
and the deadly Weapons rapidly passing
away. The local option retail law general
ly pervades the State of Georgia; county
after county prohibits the traffic, reduces
expenses, and diminishes crime. The pros
ecuting officers of the State are paid ac-
cording to the number CT criminals tried;
and they inform the writer that in those
counties where this traffic is prohibited the
office of solicitor general is worthless
Soon, let US hope, the generous Southern
sun will shine upon an entire population,
sober, prosperous, peaceful, and happy,
May that population be swollen into a vast
multitude by a tide of immigration which
shall enrich every valley and cover every
hilltop with good, sober, industrious men,"
