1t must have been a moving spectacle,
that Of Malone and Riddleberger en-
bracing in the Republican convention at
Richmond last "Wednesday. The dis
patches say that after those two fell into
each others arms, there was a general
embracing. This same dispatch says that
there were two hundred negro delegates,
and the birds know that the weather was
hot last Wednesday. Think of that, Six
hundred and fifty delegates, two hundred
of whom were Virginia coons, all hugging
each other in a Richmond theater, with the
thermometer l02 degrees, fahrenheit, in
the shade. How true it is that politics
makes strange bed fellows, and this was
especially a sight calculated to make the
angels hold their noses, fan themselves
with palm leaves and weep, Virginia
politics produces revelations that would
make a grotesque comedy hide in the
sand on a sunny Sunday, and stir a Qua
ker meeting to uproarious laughter. The
convention also declared its opposition to
the administration and perhaps this is
the reason why the president will take to
the woods during the dog days, until that
other thing blows over.

THIS story Of Gen. William Nelson,
who was killed by Gen. JEFF c. Davis, of
Indiana, has never been in print. After
the battle OF Shiloh Gen. Nelson had his
%headquarter tents pitched in a secluded
place on the field south of where the bat
tie was fought The quartermaster and
commissary trains of Buel's army began
to arrive, and the mud was awful. Many
OF the wagons in these trains were driven
by citizen Transfers, and there we're
details of soldiers TO unload the wagons
when they arrived. One evening a citi-
zen teamster who was disposed to put on
style asked a commissary sergeant where
the people were whose business it was to
unload his wagon. The sergeant, who
was something of u wag, directed the
teamster to Gen. Nelson's headquarters
and told him there was n man there
whose special duty was to empty wagons.
Said he: you will find a heavy fellow
sitting in the middle tent, tell him what
you want. He will probably try to bluff
you, but fetch him along" The teamster
went as directed and walked into Gen.
Nelson's marquee. The bluff old Bully
Bill was sitting there in bis shirt
sleeves. The teamster, tapping him on
the shoulder, said: Come on old
man, ] want you" This piece of u
dacity almost paralyzed the irascible
old general. WHO the hi are your
What do you mean2" He almost howled.
oh. don't be giving me any of that"
the man continued. I'm up TO your
racket Get our gang and come on and
unload them wagons" BY this time the
general had raised up, and grabbing a re-
volver started for the teamster who had
made a straight streak through the mud
and woods with the general firing at his
heels as he vent. He made better time
than the corpulent officer could, and the
general finally returned to his tent laugh
ing. when he began to comprehend the
Joke, but that teamster never reported.
and he may be among the casualties Of
that campaign who have never been ac-
counted for under the head of missing.

sales to be advertised in newspapers
Such bill has been before several
legislatures, but, though just in the
extreme to parties litigant,it has been
opposed, because it was beneficial to
newspaper men. The oilice-seeker
uses the newspaper man all he can,
squeezes him dry, if possible. and
then opposes just measure because
by it this same newspaper man may
be incidentally benefited. The edi-
tors should organize against the

On the subject of the color blind
ness of justice. as regards poor men,
the Waco Day breaches q true SER
mon in the following: "The fate of
Alexander e. Moore is warning to
the poor man, who il without money
or friends, and sweet consolation and
assurance to the man, disposed to sin,
who can raise cash or is blessed with
influential friends. Moore is white
mana carpenter and poor devil
withal. He forged a note for 1928,
and traded it for lumber. Last
Thursday he was arrested, Friday in
dicted, put on trial yesterday and in
about one hours time convicted and
condemned to three years in the
penitentiary. As Josh Billings would
say every wheel seemed to be grea-
sed for the occasion. His punish
ment is just, and properly speaking
there can be no pity for him. But
there is moral in his case that is
one-sided, and it is this: that the
laws delays and opportunities are not
for the poor man, whether he is guilty
or innocent that they are like fine
clothes, rare wines, rich jewelry or
any other luxury-within the reach
of the man who has money or monied
friends. Moore's crime was small
one, compared to some others, that
men commit and yet manage to evade
the rigors of law. With money
Moore could have STAYED his case off
until neutrality-suspicious. several terms
of court. He need not have gone to
jail at all. Bail bond would have
given him largess, and his conviction
would have been a matter in the dim
future. His punishment, which we
say again is just, is to the rich man a
reminder of what his money can do
for him if he sins. TO the poor man
it is stern hint of what he may ex-
pect if he gets into trouble; justice,
like taxation, isn't always equal and
uniform. 1t is pity, butsuch is the
case.
