origin has troubled ethnologists somewhat,
and the idea is gaining credence that they
are of Asiatic origin, and came over by way

RESPONSIBILITY OF MAN.

The man who will not let his wife do
what she wishes and innocently might,
without worrying all peace out OF the
house, without storm, without abuse,
without the withdrawal of his good will
and a condign punishment of one sort or
another, forces his wife, unless she is a
spiritless shadow, into doing what she
would, and deceiving him in relation to it
yery likely to the point of living. Guilty
as she herself may be, yet ii mis- children

for it.

his wife righteous money for her needs,

The Situation in Virginia.

The Richmond estate" says The intel
ligent and thrifty citizens of the whole
country will have much more correct and
enlightened understanding CT this years
political contest in Virginia if they will
accept the sensible and practical under
standing that the conflict is not a bare race
war, but Is the effort and determination of
the intelligent and thrifty citizens of Vir-
ginia to maintain honest, frugal, homo rule.
This is the measure and limit of the whole
struggle. Neither the people of New York
nor of Pennsylvania nor of Massachusetts,,
nor of Ohio nor of Illinois nor of Indiana
nor of any other State in the Union would
fail to resist with all their strength and
zeal the handing-over of their State gov
ernments to small white majority guided
and controlled by few reckless and irre-
sponsible political adventurers, and given
power only by vast mass of blind and
helpless voters who cast their ballots at the
mere mention of a party name, without
thought or reason. Such rule as this is inju-
rious to active business, it is benumbing to
ardent enterprise /; it ties, it hampers, it
cripples the progress of civilization. Surely
there is no bigot so blind, no fanatic so
frenzied as to think that the honest, sturdy,
common,seuss men of Virginia will suffer
their State to slip under the rude hands of
such an irresponsible tyranny.

ONE OF MAHoNE's DEvIcEs.-A friend
has handed us one of Mahons's circulars,
which purports to show increased expendi-
lures by the State government aimee the
days of readjuster rule. Such claptrap is
very apt to catch the uniformed, but the
simple fact is that many of these expendi-
lures were legacies of Malone, as for in-
stance the Kendall Bank Note company's
claims of $4,000, the normal school at
Petersburg, &c. Other extraordinary ex-
penditures were for the purchase Of, and
the payment of interest on, Riddleberger
bonds, the new building at the State peni-
tentiary to accommodate negro females, the
printing of the new code, increased Con-
federate pensions, which have increased
from a mere pittance in 1880, $780, 900
year. Again, the state has built an expen-
sive asylum at Marion and this must be
maintained at considerable cost and there
are the normal at Farmville and the Will
liamsburg normal and we may mention also
the increased expenses of the agricultural
department. Of course the states expenses
increase as the population increases, but so
long as the expenditures are honest, which
the republicans do not deny, there is moth
ing whatever against the democratic ad-
ministration in the charge that the expendi-
lures have ased.-DdnuiLe Reoister,

Malone from Republican Standpoint.

Ex-senator H. H. Riddleberger, who
recently declared for Mckinney, Tyler and
Scott and who is now one of Mahone's
most determined Republican opponents,
speaks as follows in his paper, the Shenan-
doah Herald, of Malone and his methods:
"We never knew Malone as anything
but an imposter on q party.
We never won fight with him in the
advance and never lost one when he was in
the rear"
And again:
"Do the people of Virginia fail to re-
member that John Goode had to be de-
feated to carry out the Sherman-Q Quay
Cameron -AIahone-traffic arrangement"
And again:
1.-THE coming election will decide wheth-
er Virginians will have to go, hat in hand,
to Quay, Malone and Dudley for their
bread and meat and for the privilege of
building fence or fishing in the waters of
the Commonwealth. That is about the
size of it. William Mahone agreed to sell
them and Quay declares that they shall be
sold."
This is testimony from the inside. So
Mr.. Goode was slaughtered for political
reasons, the man whom Malone dared not
confront with any accusations. So Malone
has promised to sell Virginia to Quay and
Dudley. Surely he is, as his late colleague
describes him, an imposter!-Rich. State.

Everything Will come to you. Ths world will

A wise mans pillow tells him more than all
the world beside.
Love your neighbor as yourself, but not your
neighbor's ife.
The sweetest thing to living man or dying
man is life.
Love. ambition, hunger, wake the world when
ever it would nod
And holy aspirations must soar up at last to
God.
He will hear you and will listen, and will an.

Their Game.

Senator M. S. Quay, Chairman of the
Republican National Committee, made his
special effort to carry West Virginia for
Harrison and Morton last fall. He thought
by spending large amount of money there
he could "break the solid South" But the
Republican corruption fund did not carry
the State over to the Republican column.
Hundreds of negroes registered in Virginia,
were colonized in West Virginia and were
illegally voted there. 1t was bold game,
but it will only cause West Virginia to be
more solidly Democratic in the next elec-
ton than ever. The Republican frauds
which the official investigation is bringing
to light, certainly cannot be repeated, if
the Democrats are vigilant.
Failing to get West Virginia, Quay and
his gang, including the Blocks of Five Dud-
ley, are making dead set at Virginia.
They hope to break the solid South by
electing Malone Governor and by securing
the election of a majority of the Legisla-
ture. They will try to colonise negroes
from Washington city, North Carolina, W.
Virginia aud Tennessee. This game would
be very easy of accomplishment if the DEM
ocrats were asleep; they are wide awake,
and will remain very wide awake until af-
ter the polls close in November.
The Democrats are determined that there
shall be fair election. A fair election and
a full Democratic vote will give Mckinney,
Tyler and Scott majority of 90, 900 or 25,-
900 and large majority in the Legislature.

PROFESSOR LANGsToN TO CANVASS OHIO.

here on the 10th instant for Ohio to canvass
the State for Governor Foraker. Mr.. Laugs-
ton was asked yesterday if his supporters

Gnbernatorial ticket, but he declined to be
interviewed. He was next interrogated as
to whether or not he would take the stump
for Malone, but politely refused to answer

he could not talk now for publication, and

The Neornas, Chanea

If the negroes of Virginia, aspiring to
equality in politics at least, are ever to do
anything to break the chains of their slave
ry, it appears that now is the time to do it,
aBd in doing so receive something like re-
spect from the white people who have tax
ed themselves to educate them. There has
not been seen in political annals a more
disgraceful chapter than the connection be-
tween the negroes of this State and their
herding by the Bell Wether Malone and
the arch wolf in sleeps clothing. Is there
not an appeal, even at this late hour. or
rather this late year, to ask those benight-
ed people if they mean to take the one tai
ent given them by God and bury it in the
dirt of Billy Mahone's Shiny politics 3?
By the same token we call attention to
the opinion of one of the enlightened Re-
publicans of the North, who came to look
up the truth in the Danville massacre. He
happened to get hold of the key of the situ-
alton. which is that the negro when under
the kindly control of Christian civilization
is good citizen and worker in his proper
sphere, but that be becomes savage when
intrusted with power.
When it dawned on that phiIanthropist
that the South would be another Hayti
without white civilization, he went back
North and put his negro worship in trans
formation scene, and instead of working up
Southern barbarism and bull -dozing, he,
like an honest man, proceeded to explain
why it was that Republican in the North
would be a Democrat in the South. He al
so explained that the very worst thing for
the negro would be negro control, and the
only thing to save and civilize him was
white control.
When the negroes of Virginia see the re-
spectacle men of the local Republican par
ty spit Malone out of their mouths, why
will they gravitate to the bad and seek af-
filiation with the worst elemeuts of their
race, that lead it into voluntary slavery
worse than the eformer.-Richmond Times.

If 'his mithods don't bear inspection"
He's purity well shure Of election.
AN he'll spake. you may bet,
On the national debt,
An rave over tariff protection
So the kickers kick, but you'll see.
They'll foinally have to agree
TIC lave Billy alone
To ipjoy his bone,-

An the State av Virginia, begorra!
Will foind out thai same to her sorra.

Git her safely in hand.
She won't made my trouble to borror.

To help tie the hemp,
Small chance but choking will foller.
Let him once get hould av the reins,
An he'll yank till he adde's her brains;
She may rip. she may tear.
She may toss head in air,
But he'll fix her wild curb bit an chains.
An whin she's hitched up in the traces,
His followers will all take their places;
Thin his horn he will blow,
An away he will go,
To join the political races.
Now, If you Dimmycrats dent take me hint
Thin, bedad. may you live to Iepin;!
An you'll do that same thing
By the coming offspring,
If Malone carries out his intint.

What Colored Republican Has to Say Of
His Brother LangstOn.
LYNcHBURe. VA, September 10, 1899.

Editor Adrance: Will you kindly per-
NIT me to say word concerning the DO
sition of Prof. Langston, the defeated can.
didate for Congress in the Fourth district
of Virginia. Mr.. Langston declares in his
Fifth Avenue Hotel interview, in New
York, in reply to an inquiry: so you see
the colored voters are not all tor Malone,
but will do as do.'' Now, sir, I feel con-
strained to take issue with Mr.. Langston
on this point. We recognize Mr.. Lang
ston as leader among the colored voters
of Virginia SO long as his course is a con-
sistent one in endeavoring to right the
great wrong that was perpetrated on him
and on us by William Malone We recog-
nize and appreciate his great abilities, and
have endeavorod to show our acknowIedg-
ment of them by creating a healthy public
sentiment all over Virginia In his behalf,
in order that the people in the Fourth dis
trict would honor him by sending him to
Congress, when he threw himself upon
their mercy after having been maltreated
by Malone. But cannot consent to the
assertion that our support of Malone is
contingent upon settlement to be had
between Malone and Langston whereby
Mr.. Langston shall take his seat in Con-
gress, whether elected or not. My opinion
is that Lapgston was defeated through the
treachery of William Malone and not upon
the commission of frauds chargeable to the
Democratic party, and if this theory is cor
rect Mr.. Venable is honestly elected. Nor
can the President, his Cabinet, and all
others called upon by Langston, agree
publicly as he demands-nor privately, if
they are honest-to unseat an honestly
elected Congressman to seat one who was
slaughtered in the house of friends and
through the treachery of his friends.
believe that Langston's proper course
for redress would be-not through ques-
tionabls bargain with Malone to secure
his seat in Congress-but by a continued
strong opposition to Malone and Malone
ism in Virginia in order that he may help
to remove the prime cause of his mis-
fortunes and our discomfort. If he does
this he can then say, and say rightly, that
he is the leader of the colored people of
Virginia, but unless he does this, he will
find that though he goes to Malone to ad.
vance his own personal interest he will
have, much to his own regret, left his in
fuence behind him. for one will Ger
tainly not follow him to Malone, and I am
not alone.
Respectfully,
]. H. MERCHANT.
