A bill has been introduced into
the Virginia Legislature to provide
for the re- establishment of the
whipping post as a punishment for
thieves and wife heaters and other
cowardly and mean criminals.
This method of punishment is very
primitive, but it is certainly better
than the present method of send
ing them to the county Jail and
feeding them on the fat of the land
for few months, and then turning
them out to repeat their offense.-

nails can be avoided and the shane OF
the nails changed Where the nails are
thin and inclined to break, frequent
olling is necessary, and the nails
should never be polished, except when
some oily substance is used beside the
powder. This keeps the nails more
pIiiole, anu no matter how thin thew
are, if properly treated they are no
more liable to break than thicker ones.
Another thing that is bad for the nails
IS polishing them too roughly. They
should be lightly touched and moi
rubbed until they become heated. This
IS one cause of white spots coming on
the nail and marring its beauty. A
little attention every day will make

Settling a erare Question.

When It. II. Benton was in the
house. he was of the opinion that the
third day of March, and consequently
the congressional term, ended at mid
night of that day, instead of at noon
on the fourth, as unbroken usage had
fixed it. So on the last morning he
sat with his hat on, talked loudly,
loafed about the floor, and finally re-
fused to vote or answer to his name
when the roll was called. At last,
the speaker, the Hon. james L. Orr.

CoLoREn FARMERs.

All the evidences of progress and
good citizenship among the colored peo-
pie in the South will be welcomed by
pacification of the elements that disturb
the social fabric. Georgia has colored
Farmers Alliance, which held its an
nual state convention few days ago.
1t is not stated how numerous the farm
erS among the negroes are, or precisely
how they succeed as tillerS of the soil
for themselves, but at this convention
$4,000 was subscribed toward the $780,
600 needed to establish an exchange at
Atlanta. Even more than the white
farmers they have suffered from the
peculiar system of credit that has so
largely prevailed in the South. put
ting the producers virtually in
the the hands of the greedy
dealers at the trading points.
The farmers are devising measures to
obviate this, the members Of the ALI
ance being supplied by their own agen-
cies. The black farmers are evidently
becoming considerable class and will
be land owners, acquire property and fit
themselves for conservative and intelli-
gent participation in public affairs.
They have been grievously oppressed
by the trade system, compelling them to
pay from 25 to rs or more per cent for
the advances finally. Perhaps the most
encouraging feature in this movement
is that it avoids the friction that would
be inevitable in the present condition if
it aimed to control the politics of the
country. The declaration Of purposes
by the Alliance convention has this ex-
cellent compendium:
Resolved, That we, the Colored Farmers
Alliance and Cooperative union of Georgia,

object is the elevation of our people by teach
ing them the love of their wives, children,
homes, education, accumulation of wealth,
love of God and their country, the advocacy
of true justice, judgment and equality be.
tween man and man, obedience to lawful
authority, stunning all crime and vice, re-
gard politics as gigantic evil, and do hereby
protest against its being brought into any OF

THE DECAYING STATE.

The census revives the decaying fact
of Nevada. 1t will show but about 49,
600 population and less than $4,000
votes. The theory of Senator STEWART
that irrigation will make it an agrieult-
ural region and fill up suggests big
scheme for the government with small
outcome. The state will, in all proba-
biiity, continue to lose of its popula-
ton, but as long as it has two votes in
the senate for Republicans it may be
tolerated. There are, however, some
millionaire Democrats in California,
and they may be willing to pay more
than the Republican rates for the sena-
torships. In that event it will at once
be seen that it is entirely unfit to be
state in the Union. No way to get it
out has been discovered, but it could be
made part of some other state or have
a populated territory added to it.

THE sPEAKER,s PLAN.

The New York Tribune and other
prominent Republican papers are be-
coming exceeding anxious that the
new apportionment for congressman
should be made at this session. Great
injustice is seen to the states that have
increased their population in denying
them the full representation for two
years more. Of course the representa-
ton in the next congress must remain
the same as in the present one, unless
action is had at the present session.
Minnesota will have, perhaps, the
largest share of this injustice. The
Omaha Bee, in urging the apportion-
ment. says ''itis expected the new census
will increase the representation of all
the surely Republican states, with the
single exception of Maine" This is the
incentive to action, rather than the de-
sire to do Justice to the growing states.
If it should prove to be the fact that the
matured figures would not help out
the Republicans. the need of haste in
the matter would disappear. The ele
ments of doubt as to this action in case
Supt. PORTER redeems his pledge to
have the figures in hand next month
are mainly as to the practicability of
holding quorum of Republicans in
both houses, and the advantage to be
bagged by the Republican party.
Among the most recent advIces from
Washington is the statement that, if
the election bill fails, as now seems
pretty certain, Speaker REED designs
have this reapportionment made,
presuming that it will meet partisan an
ticipations. Still Mr.. REED is quite
likely to find that this is another in
stance in which he has undertaken a
contract too large for his capacity. 1t
is defcult to carry through partisan
legislation with the present party mar
gin, and almost impossible at the tail
of an unusually protracted session. Com
plications will arise that will defeat any
probable efforts.
