Worth It's Weight in Gold.

The most valuao1i book in the world is said to be Hebrew Bible at the Vatican in Rome. In 1512 Pope Julius, then in great financial straits, refused to sell it to sym dicate of rich Venetian Jews for it's weight in gold. The Bible weighs more than 325 pounds, and is never carried by less than three men. The price refused by Pope Julius was therefore about $125, 900, and that, too, when gold was worth at least thrice what it is now worth

MALONE ANp THE STATE DEBT.

Mahones political career has been
marked by n singular uniformity OF
evil. and yet he is the most inconsistent
Of men. Our space is too limited for n
catalogue OF his Inconsistencies, but
who can forget that in the beginning
of his Senatorial career he proclaimed
himself a better Democrat than Ben.
Hill. at the very time when his tent
had already been pitched in the Repub-
lican camp and he had gone over bag
and baggage to the enemy.
Nor can any soldier of the lost cause
forget that this Confederate General
had no sooner joined the ranks of the
party. which would make peace more
disastrous than war TO the South, than
he used his Legislative position to bring
dishonor on his Old followers by brand
ing them as aliens in the household of
a common government.
And now comes an inconsistency so
extraordinary and 30 bewildering as to
enlarge our conception of the possible
ties of human impudence. for no pro-
poses to play the role Of the saviour OF
the honor Of Virginia by 1ew adjust
ment of the State deb: on some myth
cal plan not yet disclosed by his inscrut-
able brain. but only so far revealed az
TO give assurance of no increased tax
alton and an annual surplus of $3.50, OOO.
Is it possible that Malone gives the
white voters of Virginia so little credit
Tor memory as TO believe that they can
not recall the events of the past de
cade
Does he think that they have no sus
niclon of the identity of the man, who.
when the debt was settled on a basis.
then easily as we believe within the
resources of the State. rallied his clans
from the mountains to the sea, and
never rested until that settlement was
repealed and the credit Of Virginia was
a NV word on every exchange of tho
world.
lie is now allied with party which
regards trusts as private affairs and 81
gautic monopolies as the legitimate
fruits OF Republican government. and
what taxpayer could trust him to adj
Just the State debt.
We say then. let the settlement Of the
debt by.his own legislature. which made

MALONE knows well that the negro il
easily organized and can be driven Xix,
"A herd of cattle under certain influences.
but he knows well also, that when the
negro is openly arrayed against the
whites. the latter under the instinct OF
self prcservati0n assert all their force.
and the negro inevitably goes to the
wall.
In 1888 the negro was openly ar
rayed; lodges were organized: night
meetings were held throughout the
State, aud camp fires blazed in every
county: but the glow of the fires were
a signal which brought the white man
into line; for every lodge of negroes
there was a club Of whites. aud when
the day Of the election dawned the
Democratic party, thoroughly aroused
was already victorious.
This year it is widely different; the
drums to which the negroes then
marched are silent. the lights which
then cleaned out on the night are dark
ened. the paTades which stirred up the
dust are discOntinued-the apprehen-
ion Of the whites. Malone well knows.

Any discussion of the merits Of Ma
hone asa statesman must necessarily
b. as homogeneous and ridiculous as an
enquiry into the merits of General
Washington az comic actor. for while
Mahones lack of statesmanlike quail
ties are obvious to the most Obtuse. the
len, powerful enough to discover him
TO single human being as a statesman
still undiscovered. In this regard he
seems to be still as remote as the North
Pole. and will equally. we believe, BAT
lie all efforts Of exploration.
His career in the Senate, if he had
have had the virtue and ability OF a
statesman, gave him such opportunl-
tics for usefulness and distii ctlou as 10
other theatre affords, but the fruits Of
that career might well have come from
the Dead Sea, but with only the ashes
and not the beauty of the apples Of

Let Malone have full credit for the

followers. and for the persistence which

We cannot believe the rumor that the

for their righteous Indignation in being

every occasion of the letting Of the

svery argument, have been disregarded

time is approaching when Malone Will
attempt to carry out his threat of Is
tablishing separate government at
Richmond on election day. to count
illegal votes OF negroes and police courI
criminals. To accomplish his neiauOus
purposes, he doubtless relies on hls
colored cohorts The white citizens Of
Richmond must prevent this and must
see that a fair election Is held and only
legal votes are cast. as they have done
in all previous elections. Can they ac-
