The Elixir.

DIR. -Sequard's elixir Of life Is
= bounding into public notice with the
most magnificent advertising ever ac-
I. corded to cup-all. We are calmly told
n q bent and crippled veterans ofseventy,
who, after the insertion Of dose of meat
( Juice under the skin, became rs frisky
~ young lambs. At first this seems to
be nothing more than q new and very
( uncomfortable method Of intoSicaton,
but the doctors gravely insist that there
IL not only temporary exhilaration, but
4 permanent strengthening, while rheu-
matisin and gout flee before the lamb
Juice as leaves before the autumn gale.
The discoverer of this remarkable
compound was treated with the usual
and natural contempt and ridicule, until
a French savant, NJ. Variot, reported to
the Society of Biology of Paris the result
of the use of the elixir on three old men.
In all three cases the injection beneath
the skin of the preparation from the
glands of young sheep produced "stim-
ulation, nervous excitement and a regu-
Iation OF digestion" Now, other ply
sicians have been trying IL for them
selves in Cleveland and Cincinnati, with
like results. The old men seem to be
re-invigorated, but strangely enough, a
young and vigorous man similarly
treated, was only made little sick by
the operation. 1t begins to look n
though DIR. Brown Sequard had really
discovered tonic of great value, but it
il pity that he has chosen to call VI
(" the elixir of life," as many foolish
people may expect it to work all the
marvcls of Ponce de Leon's fountain of
youth. The thing has been sprung upon
us In manner 50 sensational, that we
have n right to refuse to believe in II
until forced TO do so by the evidence Of
the senses, and even then II will I've wise
to believe Just as little as you possibly
can, unless You are yourself patient
for the elixir, in which event believe
everything, for faith and imagination
are powerful things In dealing with
maladies. So wild do the claims Of the
discoverer appear that even his strong
European reputation did not save him
from ridicule, and as he is in the seven
ties, IL was freely hintcd that the mind
Of the famous Brown -Sequard was Civ
ing away. NJ. Nariot, who was obscure
when the inventor of the elixir was
most famous, does him the service of
endorsing his announcement. Brown
Eequard will I've remembered as the ply
sician who performed dangerous and
painful operation on the late Charles
GUNNER.

RACE TROUBLES.

Race troubles in the South are in-
creasing. The last month or two has
witnessed more violent outbreaks be-
tween the whites and negroes than have
occurred for number of years previ-
ously. Some of these troubles grow
out of politics directly, and all are the
result of process of irritation that has
been going on ever since the negroes
were enfranchised. The negroes have
been the victims in almost every en-
counter. If white man loses his life
there is great alarm, the community of
whites turns out in armed force, and if
a negro is suspected he suffers, and the
lives of dozen negroes weigh as moth
ING against one white. There is evil
IDENTIFY strong desire, if not a growing
one to get rid of the negro in many sec
tions of the South. This desire would
be stronger if the whites were not so
greatly dependent upon the labor of the
negroes. Take out the eight millions
of blacks and colonize them in some
other country and large sections of the
South would revert to a Wilderness
The irritating fact is, that the negro
can vote. When he was made voter
he was made equal to the white man.
Slavery has gone out but the present

The Washington County Board of
Education has initiated a movement to
secure uniformity of textbooks in the
State. 1t has sent out a circular in
which certain things regarding the mat
ter are stated, and which are used as
arguments in furtherance of the scheme.
The various County Boards are invited
to send a committee OF three to Mont
pelier on Wednesday of next week for
the purpose of considering the matter
and taking such action as the law per-
mits. The selection of books for each
county is left to the Board OF that eouu-
ty. There is nothing to forbid an ar
rangement between the several boards
by which the same books can be put
into all the counties and that means un-
iformity secured throughout the State.
Much cen be said in favor of such a
measure, and the project has been dis
cussed pretty thoroughly in years past,
but no legislature could be induced to
pass law instituting uniformity. Such
a plan, with all that can be said in its
favor, is liable not to prove an unmix-
ed good. Unless the State should take
the matter in hand and publish its own
text books, furnish them to its pupils,
and regulate the whole matter, there is
danger of working up heavy jobs. Some
books could safely have a State circu-
lation. We are glad this meeting has
been called, and we hope the matter
will be thoroughly discussed.

The State papers say that the Ben
nington Battle Monument, which win
be completed early next year, cannot
be dedicated till after the Legislature
meets and appropriates money. This
is rank nonsense. The State has no
call TO spend lot of money dedicating
that or any other monument. If Ben
nington wants big time when the mon
ument is dedicated let her meet the ex-
pense. Thus early is notice served of
another attempt to bleed the overtaxed
people. Another State tax of 20 to 80
cents must be paid by the hard-working
farmers that a few can have good
time at the States expense. Is it not
time to cry, halts What is the need
of asking State aid {? None at all. The
State militia viii probably meet Ben
nington next year and there will be
music and troops in abundance for the
dedication without extra expense. What
more is needed!

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Higher rates of interest, opportuni
ties for investment, are turning much
English capital to this country. The
result of this is, the lowering of rates
of interest here. If this thing keeps on
labor here and the worth of investments
will reach the English level. In these
days of high civilization ii is difficult
for any one country to long retain adj
vantages over any other.

GEN. MAHONElS OPENING SPEECH.
Like everybody of both parties, we ex-
pect, we are disappointed in Gen. Malone S
opening campaign speech at Abingdon, Mon
day-th5t is we expected to find something
new in it. There is absolutely nothing in
it that hash t been in print before, and sew
en-eighths of it has already been delivered
i'll Staunton in this campaign by the local
Republican speakers. On the debt CUES
ton our disappointment is greatest, as fa1
as any plan is suggested OF the existence of
any plan even intimated. 1t is just the
same old standing proposition, that if the
State is turned over to the Republicans they
will settle the debt without increasing the
taxes, without a plan OIL a specification even
limited at. 1t is a disappointing speech-so
disappointing that it hardly seems worth
While for the General to have taken the
trouble to furnish it in print in advance ia
the Washington, Richmond and Petersburg
papers. There need have been no hurry in
getting it before the people.
The audience that heard the General was
composed only Of his adherents, the Demo-
Gratis being in a different part of the town
listening to Senator John w. Daniel, r.
Taylor Scott and other distinguished Dem
ocrats-so it was an old story told to the
same old listeners.

THE DEMOCRATIC MEETING
lTOMD a V

In twenty years we have not seen Dem
ocratic meeting more satisfactory at all
points, than that of Monday. The building
was packed and remained so till the meeting
was over. The candidate, Mckinney, made
a fine impression on every one. Of hand
some face, imposing appearance, with a
modest yet dignified manner, with SINGER
lty apparent in every word, a fine delivery
and speech full Of good Judgment, gen
uine Democratic doctrine, and bearing no
vulgar bitterness. it would have been
strange indeed if he had not made the i'm
preston he did. Every one, Democrat and
Republican, felt that his were the utter
ances Of an honest gentleman who was in
earnest i'll all lie said.
The audience was one of which our coun-
ty might well have been proud-intelligen
solid, strong, and sensitive to every inten-
ton Of the speaker. We have not seen a
gathering of men who more quickly caught
the points of their speaker and returned
his lead.
The appearance two Republicans-anti-
Malone Republicans among the speakers,
was a unique feature of the day, and was
well calculated to give an idea of the oppo-
sition to Malone in his own party Gen.
Skeen, one Of the speakers, is one of the
leading Republicans of Allegheny. and Mr..
Steele, another, is one Of the most active and
efficient Republican workers in Augusta.
1t was a great day for the Anti-Mahone
element of all politics in old Augusta.

THE OLD PLANTATION TIMES FOR
THE COLORED PEOPLE.

THE OLD PLANTATION TIMES FOR
THE COLORED PEOPLE.
civilian Malone, Chairman evidently
regards the cOlored voters of Virginia
through the spectacles of the Overseer OF
the old plantation times. A few days ago
he issued this circular:
PETERSBURG, VA, Aug. %, 1889.
SIR:-Please send me the names of the Pas
tors of the different churches of your county.
their postofice addresses, and state whether
white OF colored in each case.
Yours truly, VIM. MALONE.
The idea that Chairman Malone had
any business with the white ministry OF
this State was absurd. Nor had he. His
business lay with the colored clergy, whom
he is trying to induce to give up their
self respect ard the respect due their call
ing, and beco ne his l.eelers for the coming
election. III q subsequent confidential cir
cular he directs his men to get the cOlored
pastors to ''giYe notice of this reg lstration
and urge their focks to go up and regis
ter.'' He further reefs that there shall
be secured 1.-TWO OF three OF our most active
and reliable colored men to walk over the
precinct and to see every colored voter and
to have them go up and register This IS
to be paid for at the following rate /:
''The men so selected to go around and no
tify the voters, to get them up to register,
will, on bill to be certified by the precinct
chairman and approved by the county chair
man and sent here, be paid. Where the work
has been faithfully done, these men will be
paid IS cents per day, and cents per capita
for each man he has gotten to register"
These propositions should unquestionably
quicken and arouse our precinct committees
All familiar with the registration of colored
voters in Virginia know what it means.
1t has been found impossible to identify
the mass Of colored voters by their faces.
John Jones, colored, may be registered at
twenty precincts and under twenty differ
ent names, and every name will be repre-
scented on election day by voter. These
voters are turned into Virginia on election
day from every railroad that is building in
the adjoining States, and from every point
in reach, some of whom have not been in
the State for years and some Of whom never
were in the State before. Challenged at the
polls, they take the oath, their votes are
received and then the voter disappears
never to be identified.
The Democrats should begin to watch
the Registration of the colored voters noac
Their registration is already beginning in
|, 4.+a L..
ten days before the election. In the towns
it is harder to put a bogus colored vote
through, but in the counties the Democrats
must keep watch. 1t is a well known fact
that colored voters brought here to be
registered, and being detected, have been
taken off to the county precincts and reg
istered.
