Editor of The Virginian:
In the issue of your paper of Sunday
HE Sth instant, appears an article so
snort II may be reprinted without oc-
cuny!ng much OF Your liberal space II
is ms follows:
I'VE have thirty-four church houses
IN the city OF Norfolk. We have over
300 church members. Thirty-four
preachers who have worked faithfully
and taught the word carefully, and the
members how to pray. But be sure to
vote for whiskey election day. In spite
of ali we got nearly 100 to vote PRO
hibtion." Rally, whiskey boys, for you
have gained the day.

Although 1t contains no personalities
direct, and doubtlessly was written
good naturedly, yet it discharges a
DroadSide shot at Il great flock. Wheth-
err many have felt stung or not is not
apparent. since up to this time no one
has made any effort to reply. Perhaps
1t was not carefully perused by the
numerous intelligent readers in the fol-
lowing proposition: The preachers and
church members of the city of Norfolk
have kept up a form of church service
most faithfully, but they have, to all
lntents and purposes voted for whiskey.
because forsooth they supported the
sound money or free silver ticket as
Democrats or Republicans, as the case
might be, and so did not vote the Pro-
hibition ticket. The article in cues
ton surely implies as much as this pro-
position contains. 1 ask permission 10
answer this communication by discuss
ing as briefly as possible two cues
tons: First. Is the Church of Christ
put here in the world that its preachers
and members may teach citizens how
TO vote? Anything akin to this in
Apostolic times would have DESTROYED
the germs out OF which grew the mystic
body-the Church Of Christ. The Apos-
ties, men set apart to preach the word
of God, and their associates, Stephen
and others, men OF honest report. full
OF Holy Ghost and wisdom" would
never have degraded the church by low
ering 1t TO the level of political plat
forms and secular ends. The plan of
administering the great spiritual body
Christs Church must not be- cannot be
essentially different from the original.
1t was projected on higher plane than
any time-serving political system of
the world, and in the nature of things
1t cannot be lowered and run alone on
the same plane as common politics.

Secondly Is voting the Republican

iact that citizens in the enjoyment of

improbable. The fact that there are
bad men in party, or that there are
corrupt practices under the adminis-

ment that the principles of such party
are necessarily unsound
1t is not fair to make the charge OF
moral crime or religious indifference
against good men for their course under
such circumstances. One might as we'll
claim that Church street or any other
street in Norfolk is not good way to

travels that way, or does business along

A COW UP A TREE.
How She Got Up There Nobody Has Been
Able To Find Out.

Within the borders of the fertile land
known as the blue grass region Of Ken
tucky there Is a moro or less thriving viii
lage called Harrodsburg. A mile to the
south of HaTodsburg, on the pike road,
lives ono John Peters, who, besides having
wife and several small children and
three acres Of pasture land, owns a very
remarkable COW of the Jersey breed.
1t was on Friday-most unfortunate OF
days--a few weeks since, that tho Jersey
cow owned by Mr.. John Peters distinguish
ed herself in manner unique and peculiar
and entirely different from other cows that
from time TO time have found their way
into public print There is not at hand at
this moment an authentic list OF the cows
of history, but I'm rank, at least the Jer-
sey cow owned by Mr.. John Peters of Har
rodsburg is deserving OF everlasting fame
along with the famous female bovine OF
Mrs O'Leary who In a moment of forget
fulness kicked over the lamp and set of an
elaborate display of fireworks some years
ago in Chicago.
The Jersey cow owned by Mr.. John
Peters was found by her master tightly
wedged in tho forks of "a maple tree, and it
was with tho greatest difficulty that she
was removed with tho aid of derrick and
perilous rest in the branches Of the maple.
AS the cow wasa at least eight feet from the
ground, and has never shown any ability
as an athlete or tree climber, just how she
got into such position Is now one Of the
unsolved mysteries of the blue grass region.
Mr. John Peters has appeared before the
village notary at Harrodsburg and made
oath to the foregoing fact, and as he has
the reputation of being man OF truth and
veracity the world has no right to dispute
or question his statements. Mr.. Peters,
furthermore, Is the grand financial secre-
tary of tho Good Templars' society of the
commonwealth of Kentucky, and his neigh
bors declare that he has been a leading cold
water advocate for upward of 80 years. But
the Jersey cow was in the maple tree, eight
feet aloft from mother earth, and the mys-
terry remains unsolved. AS the news of the
cows acrobatic achievement travels abroad
men of science In the universities Of Eu-
rope may solve the problem which just
now is agitating the whole of Kentucky.
Until then the Jersey cow owned by Mr..
John Peters of Harrodsburg takes rank as
an American wonder along with Niagara
falls and the Mammoth caye.-Philadel-
