True Words OF MIR. conl,lInr.

On Wednesday last Mr. Joseph II. Choate
an eminent Now York city lawyer appeared
in a suit in opposition to Mr.. Conkling, In
the course of his address to the court Mr.
Choate paid the following tribute to his pro,
fessional antagonist:
The railway monarchs can subsidize newspa.
pes, they can purchase legislatures, they can con
troll courts they can invade congress itself.
My distinguished friend (AIr. Roscoe Conkllng)
introduced testimony yesterday as to how they
had done 1t In his time. However We may differ
one or the other or all of us, from him, we owe
him one debt of gratitude for standing always
steadfast and incorruptible, stalking through the
very halls of corruption.

mortal glory by passing one day in the fiery fur

there and has come out without even so IN uch us

These words express the opinion enter
tanned of Mr.. Conkling by the honest people
of this country of all parties and classes.
They were greeted in tho court by burst of
applause, which the judge checked, remark.

what had been said, but must maintain dc.

THE southern bourbons are bitterly opposed
the situation created by the fifteenth amend
ment except by shallow professions belied by
their acts. The democratic party south
makes the suffrage clause of the federal con-
stitution dead letter in every state it can
control, in which an honest enforcement
would affect the result of elections. The states
of South Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Missis-
sippi, and Louisiana are certainly controlled
by violent minority in defiance both of ma
tional and state laws. The democratic party
has no hope except through the nullihcation
of the fifteenth amendment The main bur-
den Of the democratic song since 1867
has been tho wickedness and abomina-
tion of negro suffrage. Tho cruelties prac-
ticed by democrats on republicans black and
white, in recapturing the south, have been
defended in the United States senate and in
the press on the ground that no people on
political power with negroes So fierce has
been the bourbon storm against negro suf-
frage that thousands of faint-hearted republi-
cans have become demoralized, and have
taken shelter under democratic woodsheds,
denying their republicanism in the name of
reform of different varieties, and offering to
whisper the negro back to his old status on
condition of being given an equal chance
with the democracy at the political neshpots.
In the face of these facts, known to every
body who knows anything of political affairs,
it is supreme folly for democratic editors to
waste time and good ink and paper in assert
ing that the bourbons accept negro suffrage.

LYNCHBURG NEWS.
The Forthcoming Meeting OF the Ameri
can Institute OF Mining Engineers.

Special Letter.
LYNcHBURo, May 25.-Tho meeting of the
American Institute of Mining Engineers
which is to be held in this city on tho fifth OF
June, is attracting good deal of attention,
and will be an event of great interest and
importance. The chairman of the city COM
mittoo has invited all owners of lands upon
which may be found iron, copper, gold, silver,
manganese pyrites soapstone, plumbago, fire
clays, slick, kaolin, Cements, marble, limo
stones, granite, ochre, or any other ore, or
material of like character that is valuable in
commerce or manufacture, to send specimens
of such articles for exhibition, samples not to
exceed fifty pounds in weight, and marked
with tho owners name and the location from
which taken. Within an area of less than
seventy miles this section of Virginia abounds
in nearly all of these valuable minerals to an
extent and richness unknown anywhere else
in the world, and their development is ex-
pccted to be very rapid and extensive in the
early future.
1t is said that DIR. r. A. Wise, superintend-
ent of the Williamsburg lunatic asylum will
probably be appointed to the professorship at
the university Of Virginia, made vacant by
the resignation Of Prof Mallett, who has ac-
Cepted a similar position in tho university of
Texas, and will assume his duties there at
the opening of the next session. DIR. Wise is
warm friend of Senator Malone and brother
of Hon. John S. Wise.

ofA. II. Mckinney, will be one of the graduates

A highly esteemed lady, Mrs. Polly Phil

county, aged 80 years. She was a lincal de-
sccndant of the Phillips and Williams fami-
lies who came over in the Mayhower. She
left her oldest son family Bible which was
brough in that famous ship in 1920, and it
was then quite an old book and has never
been revised. That is a relic worth having
in any family.

The Florida ship Canal.


The Florida ship canal scheme is likely to
result in tho actual opening of waterway
from point near Jacksonville, on the st.
Johns river, to connection with the
Suwanee, near the Gulf of Mexico. The pur-
pose Is to construct canal capable of the
passage of the largest ocean steamer. The
company has been formed and is ready for
business. This work will shorten the dis
tance between the gulf ports and the Atlantic
800 miles, and obviate the dangers of naviga-
tion among the reefs around the southern
end of Florida Its consequences, when
completed, will be very far-reaching, as it
will have direct and important bearing
upon the Mississippi valley trade, as well as
that Of Mexico and 1t may be tho means, at
some day in the future, of drawing large
trade from the Pacific and the Gulf of Cali
fornia, across the narrow country lying be-
tween Galveston or Corpus Christi on the east,
and Topolobampo or some other suitable har-
Dor on the Pacific or. the Gulf of California,
far south of San Francisco. Such line
would accommodate the trade of China and
the islands of the Pacific, including Australia,
much better than the present one via San
Francisco, which is too far north, and which
necessitates land portage across the conti-
nent where it is broadcast. Altogether the
proposed Florida ship canal deserves to be
ranked among the most important enterprises
about which the world is now thinking.

THE PoPE's CIRCULAR.
What Some orthe Prominent Irishmen OF
New York Think or IL.

"nnt some oftne prominent Irishmen OF
New York Think OF IL.
New YORK, May 27.-There seemed to be
only one opinion among the prominent Irish
men of this city yesterday regarding the effect
of tho Pope's circular to the Irish bishops.
Said Austin Ford, of the Irish World, to a re-
porter yesterday: "The Irish-Americans have
never manifested any interest in the Parnell
fund, neither have they contributed to it
very largely, but think this circular will act
AZ q good advertisement for it, and those per-
sons who lately ignored the project being now
attracted by the circular will subscribe The
Irish-Americans, as understand il, have al.
ways considered the fund as a token of graft
tudo simply from the people in ireland to
Mr.. Parnell."
Il think the circular will increase the
fund.-" said Thomas Brennan, Gas the Irish
people are opposed to papal interference in
politics. They are capable of wise discrm-
ination between religion and politics"
For the past year or more" said Mr.. Bres-
lin, Of the Irish Nation, the gap has been
widening between the people and priests of
Ireland. Irishmen are beginning to realize
that their interests are not tho priests inter-
ests, and vice versa. The obvious intention
of the pope in issuing such circular is to put
stop to agitation, and the circular will fail
miserably, and the only success it will attain
is the alienation Of the affections of the people
from the church. 1t will make the Irish
Christians most decidedly. Instead gof
making England Catholic it will make Ire
land Protestant. 1t certainly will have no
effect on the fund unless it increases it,"

The Failure OF MIR. Blolne,s G

The Failure OF MIR. BIaine's Great Show.
The New York Tribune has long editorial
mourning over the fact that President Ar
thur saw fit to revoke the invitations of his
original premier he Of the brilliant
foreign policy-for grand congress of South
American nations. The President may have
allowed his respect. for the limitations upon
his power to have spoiled a goodish sort of
high comedy. Mr.. Blaine had literally
agreed to pay the bills of the grand affair out
of the federal treasury, although it is evident
that even premier would have had a hard
time getting money from that source with
out the little formality Of an appropriation
by congress. The fact is the whole thing was
an unwarranted piece Of buncombe, and as
i'll suited to the orderly and law-abiding
methods of President Arthur, as it was con-
sistent with the jingo-ism of tho terrible
| infant of the administration of Gen. Garfield.
1t is not difficult to imagine the grand
scenic effects, the thrilling tabieaux, the ex-
citing dialogue, and the intricate plot Of the
drama which would have been enacted by
the proposed peace congress, with the ex-
premier, named by courtesy of course as the
first representative on the part of the United
States, in the chair, as he would naturally
have arranged for, The stage would have
been erected in the State department, but
the associated press dispatches and the spe-
cials, edited perchance by the premier him
self Cerstwhile of the Kenuebec Me,
Journal, would have made all tho reading
inhabitants Of the world spectator" ln

The northern and southern Presbyterian
general assemblies have established frater-
nal relations "on the basis of with
drawal of all imputations which may
have been made officially from either
side against the Christian character of the
other" Thus one by ono the old sec
tional wounds are healing, The old southern
bourbon democracy lags superhuous on the
stage, unwilling to be reconciled to the new
order of things following the war. But 1t is
losing its hold on the young and progressive
clement.
