of New York, exhibited, by invitation Of
the college, for the first time, his tele-

that has become lodged in the body. 1t

the patient 1t consists Of three parts
One, sort of audiphone, which is placed
over the physicians ears; a steel probe
and a steel bulb The bulb is placed in

serted in the wound. If the probe strikes
a piece OF bone it makes no response, but
if it strikes the metal which caused the
wound it gives distinct clicking sounds.

A QUESTION OF CIVILIZATION.

In Monday mornings New York Tn
bune appeared a special from this cit,
stating that General James A. Walker
Democratic Lieutenant Governor durnl
the Holiday administration, had openl,
declared himself in utilization with tn,
Republican party on the ground that HI
was q Protectionist. This announce
ment has not been made from any Other
source, and therefore General Walker is
until convicted, entitled to the benefit
of the doubt. But the fact
that a man who has in the
past been identified with the Democratic
party of the State, and-as Guileau and
Malone would express twas a
Bourbon of the Bourbons, should allow
his name to appear in connection
with the party of sectional prejudice and
Southern hate without an indignant de.
NAL, passes comprehension. 1t cannot,
for moment lie supposed that General
Walkers defeat by Hon. Rufus A. Ayers
for the Attorney-Ge nomination in
the Democratic Convention three years
ago, has influenced his decision and in
duced him to desert to the enemy. If he
has indeed done so, it must be from the
cause assigned-that he does not approve
of the tariff reduction position of the Dem
ocratic party, but honestly believes in
the Radical doctrine of protection for
the sole sake Of protection.
For the benefit OF all Virpinians who
may incline to the same way of thinking,
and are willing to shut their eyes to the
fact that protection per Sc is nothing
more nor less than the enrichment of the
few at the expense of the many, it is very
appropriate, in this connection, to re-
call to their minds the more important
TACT that in Virginia, as in all
other Southern States, the question of
protection sinks far below the real
ssue involved, and that Is the main.en.
'nce OF our civilization. Democracy in
he South means white mans supremacy
Hadicalism means the rule of tho
negro and his allies. This is the whole
question In nutshell The pro.
'ress or decline of any Southern
tate must be determined, not by whether

whether the Democratic or Republican

the Republicans of any color for ih, II
votes, but q newspaper should presen,
the just view Of every question, and upon
what is known as the "colOr line" We
desire to remind our colored citizens tha,
this line was drawn by the Republicans
not the Democrats. They arrayed the
races In opposition to each other
by the broad charge kept stand
Ing that the Democrats would
put them back in TO slavery; and upon
that text they put them into the slavery
OF political tresdmill that is the dis
grace OF the age, especially when per.
petuaied by the party Of freedom and
moral ideas. Now that the idea of put
ting back into slavery is exploded, and
the liberal policy Of Democratic adj
ministration has demonstrated The adj
vantages OF Cancellation OF all sorts,
1t does seem ridiculous not to say
monstrous that millions OF peo-
pie should blindly be herded
by selfish politicians who do not give
them education or employment except
as the slaves of political ring and the
apostles OF gross ignorance. In fact while
the Democratic Legislatures all over the
South have taxed Democrats to educate
the negroes, the Republicans have syste
matically endeavored to stuliify the race
and even to prostitute the church to the
base political creed of party bent solely
on plunder. The dark pages of Republi-
can history in the South are not illumi-
mated with any ray of patriotism accord
ing to American ideas, and however hard

rule of the carpet Dagger and scalawag,
that of the black man has been worse in
the moral degradation that the Republi-
can demagogues led him down to.
The first step in the policy of the Demo-
Gratis was one of lberality and concilia
