The distinguished editor Of the Bee
delivered an Interesting address In
this city last Sunday before the Y. n.
c. A. on Integrity" We have OBJ
served the printed reports Of the
speech somewhat closely. and we do
not find that he made any reference
to the reprehensible practice Of steal
ing speeches. Some conspicuous pub
lie speakers in this state have been
guilty OF this offense. An arraign-
ment of those offenders would have
been distinctly appropriate in an ad-
dress on integrity. and any condemna-
ton coming from Mr. Rosewater would
be significant and effective.
Mr.. Rosewater has made an i'm
portant discovery. He declares that
Abraham Lincoln had q phosphores-
cent eye. Now Mr.. Rosewater Is too
much of a journalist to say that Lin
coin had phosphorescent eye without
definite knowledge that Lincoln's eye

the lines Of the existing political
parties In this country. The almost
absolute certainty that the Chicago
convention will be dominated by the
free silver democrats, and the knOwi-
edge that. In that event, the old line
democrats will not nominate a separ-
ate ticket, foreshadow a declaration
by the republicans on the financial
question that will draw to the party
all believers in sound mcney. There
does not seem to be much doubt that the
platform will be such that the major
Ity Of sound money democrats will en-
dorse 1t with their votes. The silver
issue win have to be met some time,
and the present IL probably the best
time. The people will have an oppor-
tunity OF properly testing the strength
Of the fiatists and stable money men,
and It ID good that this question should
be settled quickly. The populists will
help to elect the free silver democratic
ticket, and thus the issue will be clear
ly defined. silverites will flock to the
party Of Boies and Bland and Bryan,
and the stress Of circumstances will
force all who oppose the free coinage
of silver to vote for Mckinley. So J.

cided in her favor. The Court
of Appeals decides that this
was an error; that slave mar
riages in Virginia before the
war were valid. On tile gen
eral topic of slave marriages
the Court says:
That the legal relation of
husband and wife could not
exist among slaves was not
an arbitrary rule, prompted by
a spirit of oppression, but a
necessary condition Of the in
stitution of slavery while it
existed. Slaves could make no
contracts, own no property;
they were themselves property.
The recognition of the duties,
obligations and rights of the
legal relation of husband and
wife was necessarily incom
patible with those conditions;
hence, they could not exist,
and the iliegitimacy of slave
off spring followed as a logical
result. But, notwithstanding
their character as property,
they had a clearly recognized
status as persons also. In this
latter character their cohabit-
alton as man and WIFE had Il
moral foundation obligation
always permitted, and usually
required, to be preceded by
the solemn ceremonies of the
Church"

SLAVE MARRIAGES LEGAL

Washington, D. c., Feb. g
The United States Court Of
Appeals handed down a de-
cision of unusual interest yes
terday. 1t was in the case
OF Franklin Jennings against
Elizabeth Webb, which invol
we'd the legality of slave mar
riages. Franklin Jennings is
the son of Paul Jennings, who
was President Madison's body
servant. Paul Jennings wife
was a slave and they had
several children. One of them,
Frances, was feeble minded,
and he placed her in the care
of Elizabeth Webb and agreed
that while the girl lived
she should have title to
house which he owned. AT
ter the old man died the
Webb woman put the child
Frances in an asylum and
claimed The house. The son,
Franklin Jennings, disputed her
little. She set mp that he was
not a Legitimate son and had
no title. The lower court de
