WHAT is PEDIGREE Pedigree may have
a very high value, or it may have none at
all. If a sheep with an unbroken ancestry
of thousand years, or two thousand years,
has very poor constitutions or a bald head,
it is more likely to impart those faults to its
offspring. than if it belonged to a breed Of
more recent origin. 1t may, for the reason,
he even less valuable in every respect, than
a high-grade. Pedigree is like a long train
of cars; it runs with strong momentum, aud
it runs straight. An animal without pedi-
gree, originating yesterday, is like single
car: it rocks to and fro, it is liable to swing
off the track.
Breeders like to claim for their favorite
stock, something akin to iofallibilty; they
say, in effect: Given thousand years
pedigree in your breeding flock, and you
cannot get an inferior animal. But this
logic cannot stand. Twin rams, twin bulls,
own br others in a family, disprove it every
day.
| Yet we would not be thought to datract
anything from the transcendent value of
pure blood. Often grade of three fourtbs
| blco1ed ram, will, to all appearance, possess
all the desirable qualities of thorough
bred, and reproduce himself in his progeny
but the next generation, or the next, or at
the first ill usage, his descendants will
"breed back" to his low original-Ameri

The State government has to be support
ed, and our public schools and asylums have
to be run, coupons or no coupons, and if we
absorb all of our present taxes in coupons
we will necessarily be compelled to have
our taxes increased, and those who bring
this serious calamity upon us by the use Of
coupons will have to bear the consequent
burdens.
There can be no rational doubt about this
matter, nor can there be any doubt about
another thing; that those who bring, or help
the greatest sufferers, and will eventually

A Word to cur COlOred Frien DIS.

The campaign in this District has had a
sudden energy infused into it on our side,
which promises well for the result, and as
we understand the policy of our friends. it
is to make the contest one in which all men,
who desire to promote the interests of the
District, can unite This seems to be sound
policy, and it affords opportunity to the
colored voters to cut loose from the selfish
men who have so long deceived and betray-
ed them in this region. All through this
District there are men Of color who have
learned to observe and think for themselves.
For a long time they believed what they
heard from their white leaders, and looked
on the Democrats as the Bulgarians do on
the Russians. They were told over and
over again that if the Democrats got into
power they would put the Negroes back in
to slavery. Their wives and children were
kept unhappy on this score; but at last
Democratic success was achieved in the
United States, and in the State of Virginia.
Did the Negroes then hear even whis-
per of depriving them of their rights?
Have they lost anything politically OF
personally by the success of the Democrat
ic party?
They can answer these questions fol
themselves and those among them who reao
and think will tell you that they nave gain
ed and not lost.
The President has dealt justly by them.
The State of Virginia, under Democratic
control, has dealt justly by them. The city
of Norfolk, under Democratic Councils and
Democratic Mayor, has dealt munificently
by them. For under Democratic Mayor
Democratic Councils, Democratic Board Of
School Trustees, and Democratic Super
intendent of Schools the people of colol
now see their long cherished dream of q
proper school building substantial reality
before their eyes.
The leading men now realize that they
have been imposed upon and their conf
derce abused by their former leaders, ant
the opportunity is now afforded them t.
show that they know their real friends, ane
that they can rise above the terrors of TIE
party whip.-Norfolk Landmark.
