REV. JOHN JASPER, the Richmond negro
preacher who maintains that the "sun do
move" in recent interview with news
paper reporter, said "My mission here on
earth is to preach the gospel truth, and
have no time to be going to and fro through
this land making speeches and mixing up
with politics. The church Is no place for
politics, as it is the house of the living God,
and 1 have never allowed politics to be
brought in my church. The duty of Min
lister of the gospel is to serve the Lord God
on high and obey His commandment to
preach the Gospel in order to save souls"
No matter how heterodox the reverend
Jasper may be respecting the movements OF
the sun, that he is right concerning church
politics is as true as the fact that on the
former subject he entertains the same views
that Joshua did.

STATE POLITICAL NOTES.

Several good speakers are expected to ad.
dress the public at Crupper's store, West
End, next Tuesday night och inst, at z
O'Clock. The voters of West End and vi
cinity are specially invited to attend.
Congress man O'Farrall addressed 1000
people at Fredericksburg last night in the
Opera House. The democratic club turned
out en- masse with band and torchlight
parade to greet him. Many ladies were on
the stage to listen to his speech.
In Richmond last night the regular police
force were relieved from duty by special
officers appointed by the mayor. This
course was adopted in order to allow the
entire regular force to be on duty at the reg.
istration precincts to day. One company OF
military was also ordered to remain at the
armory until the close of registration, in Or
der that they may be called on duty IN case
of any disturbance. These precautions were
taken in consequence OF the incendiary
speeches recently made there by Gen. Ma
homes speakers.
The publication of the appeal of the col
ored preachers, calling on the voters of their
race to support the Malone ticket, has ex.
cited considerable comment. When asked
yesterday what ne thought about the course
his fellow preachers had taken in this mat
ter, Rev. john Jasper said : Il have not
seen the circular. My mission here on
earth is to preach the gospel truth, and l
have no time to be going to and fro through
the land making speeches. At elections, if
people on the republican ticket gets the In
dorsement of that party, cast my ballot
like all good citizsns and then goes home. f"
Parsons Jasper said be would not have
signed the Malone circular nor does ne IN
iect politics into his sermons.
