absurd in view of the fact that Gen. Lees only
competitor is Democrat.
Is there any Measure for the good of our .peo-
pie that Gen. Lee would vote for that wouldn't
command the vote of Frank Hume?
Is there any measure designed to iniure our
people that Lee would oppose that Hume
wouldn't likewise oppose?
Then, wherein lies the danger? 1t is purely
imaginary. 1t is a false alarm sounded to save
a weak candidate nominated by unfair means
from defeat. Gen. Lee, from his tactical posi-
tion in the rear, never felt that there was any
danger or probability OF dereliction of duty,
when Frank Hume and his fellow soldiers stood
between him and the enemy with bright mus
kets in their hands. The people of Alexandria,
who gave Gen. Lees opponent between two
hundred and three hundred majority, never felt
that their interests would be ignored when they
elected Frank Hume by over six hundred ma
jority to represent them in the House of Dele
gates.
The fraud in Stafford, which caused Gen.
Lees opponents to withdraw in disgust from
the contest, and which the Washington Critic
said MIR. Meredith denounced as follows in
letter to gentleman in that city, can only be
wiped out and a recurrence of such things pre-
vented by defeating the beneficiary:

justify such proceedings. The whole thing was
u farce. just such proceedings have changed
Stafford from a majority of 800 Democratic to
Republican county. The drtricts ought to hold
meetings and send delegates to the convention
and expose the whole thing"
Such "Chnese methods" as Mr.. Hume charac-
terzed them, should not be tolerated.; loyalty
to the Democrtic party and true Democratic
principle require that man nominated by such
means should be "turned down." and isasmuch

AN ACTOR WHO EXHoRTs.
He Saws the World Has Wrong idea OF
Stage Morality.

There was quite theatrical curio among the
members of the Lillian Lewis company, which
played at the Bijou Theatre week before last.
1t was an actor who devoted his spare time to
evangelical work, eXhorting at missions, etc.
His name was Edward Warren, and he has been
on the stage for sixteen years. On the Friday
of the week the company was here he delivered
an address at the noon meeting of the Central
Union Mission. During the course of his ad-
dress and in talk afterward with a reporter
Mr.. Warren said:
"The public generally has tabooed the life of
the actor as one of vice and indulgence They
know nothing whatever of the actors real life,
and form their opinions upon the instances of
vice which have too frequently come to their
attention. These instances too often have foun-
dation, but they are not of general frequency
enough to condemn the whole because part is
bad l admit that there are great many bad
men and bad women on the stage, but in what
The Sunday herald and weekly national intelligencer., 1890-09-21

walk of life are there not? | admit also that
there some classes of actors and actresses
who openly parade their shame, as it has be-
come no longer shame to them But this is true
to some extent in life generally. There is also
a certain class of companies which pander to the
tastes of the low and Vicious but these people do
not deserve the name of actors. There is where
the injustice comes in.s The people who cannot
be rightly called actors or actresses give them
selves up to all kinds of wckednesses, and the
profession is blamed for it. Again there is
class of women who, when they have fallen into
disgrace in private life instead of reganing their
good name, enter our profession with the pur-
pose of utterly abandoning all pretensons to
virtue and everything else that is good. We
have far more women in our profession who are
bad when they entered it than become so af
terward. These women, through the adver-
tisement received by the scandal attached to
their names, excite immediate public curiosity.
Actors do not have the chances ordinary
people do for display of their religion. Our
business requires that we be on the move all
day Sunday, and hence we can't get to church.
Others do not go when the opportunity offers,
because they feel they would not be welcome if
their identity should be known. There are
actors, and thousands of them, whose religious
instincts are as finely Marked whose Christian
characteristics as fully developed as in the best
of ordinary Christians. Wien churches want
money the actors are the first to open their
purse-strings. When they have children they
attend assiduously to their baptism and relg-
ious bringing up. When they are sick or
dying they are as anxious as others for the
spiritual comforts of religion. So strongly
marked, on the other hand, is the aversion to
our profession that We have had ministers of
the Gospel refuse to bury our dead or bring
our innocent young into their church.
'We have many temptations in the theatri-
cal profession, but they are only those begotten
of the malodorous reputation the public has
given us or of the evil influence of the women
l have mentioned. In consequence, we are
thought to be the public prey. Men insult our
women, women strive to meet the men of the
profession, simply because they are actors
There is certain familiarity existing always
between members of company, but it is not
always familiarity to be decried, We learn to
know each other better in two weeks in this
business than people generally know each other
in six months We are constantly with the
other members, and can't help knowing them,
l have said we have our men and women who
are bad, but we also have them who are as good
as in any other walk of life. Who, for in
stance, would dare impeach the good character
of Madame Modieska Mary Anderson, Mrs.
Chanfrau, Katie Putnam, Rhea, Annie Pixley,
Madame Janauscheck, Viola Allen, Minnie
Palmer, or hundreds of others who distinguish
and honor the profession ?"

BEE COUNTY and BEEVILLE.
New Ell Dorado for HOmeseekers and
Investors,

Bee county lies midway between the
San Antonio and Nueces rives, less than
100 miles southeast of San Antonio, $50
west of Houston, 60 from Arkansas Pass,
the future great seaport, aud 200 from
the Rio Grande. The county is generally
level or rolling prairie, but well drained
and entirely free from marshes. Black
sandy loan with clay sub-soil Is the pre-
vailing quality of soil, interspersed in
some portions with very, rich black mes
quite land. While the soil is as rich as
any in Texas, there is none but what
contains sand enough to scour on the
plow Bee county will average as much
cotton to the acre as any in the state.
Picking begins g month earlier and con-
tinues a month later than in North Texas
Corn and oats grow well, never having
failed entirely. Wheat is but little
sown. The crop of natural mesquite hay
is something immense. Irish and sweet
potatoes, melons, pumpkins and all
kinds of vegetables grow to great perfec-
ton. Pears, peaches. plums aprioots,
figs, oranges, bananas, Strawberries,
raspberries and all kinds OF small fruits
grow remarkably well, as demonstrated
upon the market fruit farms that are
being opened around Beeville. Bee
county has plenty of timber for fuel and
fencing About three-fo urths of the coun-
ty is susceptible of cultivation, though
less than 10 per cent. is now cultivated.
Raising of cattle, horses and mules has
been the chief occupation of the people
until 1890, when the farm average has
been tenfold increased. Much attention
is given TO improving the breeds, and
stock farming is destined TO be the lead
ing industry. The blizzard's chilling
blast spends its fury before reaching Bee
county and has but little influence upon
the thermometer. Sixty miles is far

called Uncle Eph had lived in the

his opponents with the statement
that Uncle Eph had voted against
him. 10th to believe it he called

Uncle Eph, is It true that you
voted against me at the election?"
':Yes, Massa William, replied Eph;

fHSALLS ON THE NEGRO.
The Kansas Senator Explains His Views on
the Race Question.


the Race Question.
Il have been much misrepresented
in regard t o my views on the race
question" remarked Senator Ingalls,
recently. i do not believe in social
equality for the two races--far from
it. I only wish the blacks to be
treated with justice and their votes
counted. THERE'S no reason for antag-
onism between tie races. The white
men are the landed proprietors. They
have superior talent and superior edu-
cation and there is no likelihood OF
the negro race overriding them"
''Wll preponderance of negro
votes throw the government in the
hands Of the negroes" was asked.
There is no reason that it should,
he replied, for the white race can
easily manage. even with perfectly
fair elections, to keep the State offices
in their hands. The negro was peace
able in slavery, and even during the
wal they behaved with remarkable
fidelity. There is no record Of treach-
cry Of slaves to their owners, none OF
them insulting women, harmlng
children or destroying property. But
now it seems ;ts if it were an entirely
different thing-as if it wasnecessary
to antagonize the two races, which
should dwell together iii justice and
harmony
The idea Of the negro donlineer-
ing over the whites is painted devil
There is nothing to show that the
blacks wish to overthrow Obligations.
or to Africanize America If they
wish to emigrate let them, but if the
Southern people would cease to re.
gard their former slaves as present
enemies-those peaceful servants OF
the past as future foes-and allow
them fair representation and a fan
count, they would see that the dread
race war exists only in Imagination
In fact, the granting Of the ballot
to the negro has thrown an addition.
al number Of the voters into each dis.
trict, and this grants additional rep,
resentatives to the South. The case
is this: The majority of white men
in the South are Democrats, while
almost all negroes are Republicans

everything would be amicable.
