Let the Good Work go on.

1t is refreshing to see the rapidity
with which the rascals are being turn
ed out. Heads are falling as fast as
the axe which revolves as rapidly as
newly invented machinery can turn
it, strikes the Victims neck. Demo-
Gratis may some day learn a lesson.
They may remember the terse expires
sion of the late Senator Vance who
always claimed that "the OK which
plowed the field should eat the fodder"
The virtuous democrat could not turn
out an Office holder whose term had
not expired unless he did SO "for
cause" The result was that the re-
publican held pretty we'll through the
democratic administration and then a
democrat or mugwump get the place,
to hold it only few brief moments
when under new republican admin
istration off went the democratic head.
We rejoice to see the good work go on,
for day will come when real demo
Gratis will get hold of the machine, and
then it will be worked to it's full Ca
pacity.

A Dangerous Friend.

Maj. Hoge Tyler's cause received an
undeserved blow Tuesday morning by
the appearance of an editorial favor
ing it in the Staunton Daily Nea0s.
This is gold bug paper which after
promising to support the Democratic
National ticket bolted it, and gave
what aid it could to elect Mckinley
and defeat Bryan. 1t is still gold
bug paper and represents nothing and
nobody in the Democratic party. Its
favorable opinion is as dangerous to a
Democratic candidate in Augusta
county as similar opinion from Yost's
Weekly used to be, and Maj. Tyler's
friends will doubtless have this ill
omened friend silenced.

Henry NJ. Symt'ie is Out.

WASHINGTON. May THE State De-
partment has accepted the resignation
of Henry NJ. Smythe of Virginia, MIN
lister to Hayti and San Domingo. and
he will not be required to return to his
post of duty. Mr.. smythe's resigna-
tion was sent to the Secretary of State
on the 9Th of March, but it was not
anticipated that it would be accepted
until his successor should have been
appointed.
1t was thought that Mr. Smythe was
to be allowed to complete negotiations
with the San Domingo government,
relating to several matters of impor.
lance. Chief among these was a prop
osItion to secure coaling station for
the United States in Stamina Bay.
The State Department give no ex-
PLANTATION of the summary acceptance
OF Mr.. Smythe's resignation, but it Is
inferred that the President is about
feDdy 10 name his successor.

What do the Negroes Mean

Many negroes of this State and in
fact throughout the country are pur-
suing a dangerous course. Attacks on
white women are becoming frequent
and these they know are not tolerated
by the white people, and it is hoped
are not condoned by the better people
of their race, though we have found
an occasional Bishop encouraging his
people to arm. and shoot their white
assailants. In Virginia in one week
there have been an attack on an esti-
mable lady at Roanoke, and a crime
in Alexandria on little white girls
which caused negro to be lynched.
Another offense was committed in
Alexandria last week, and no less than
three other trials of negroes were going
on in various parts of the State, the
one at Fairfax G. H. being of such ma
ture that troops were sent to prevent
the prisoner from being lynched.
Do the negroes realize the gravity of
these offences? Do they understand
that they are taking risks as race
which if continued must result disas-
trously for themS Do they not know
that in the event race conflict should
ensue they would be driven horse, foot
and dragons out of the country, and
that the guilty and innocent would
then be treated alike? Do they not
know that if such crimes were perpe-
trated by Indians there would be a
war at once? 1t is in no spirit of re-
sentiment, or unkindness we speak, for
none has under all circumstances and
conditions lived on better terms with
colored people than ourselves. Our
whole life has been in close contact
with the race and has been free from
trouble or misunderstanding, and in
all kindness we call the attention of
those whose good sense and good NOR
ais must condemn crime whenever
committed, to those outrages which
receive violent punishment and
heget violence on the part of white
mobs, in the hope that they may end
mob law. by putting an end to crimes
which engender it, before they have
stirred the white people to hatred or
frenzy. Mr.. Jefferson when speaking
of emancipating slaves many years
ago, said: They should be gradually
emancipated. and of course sent back
to their own country as it would be
for them to exist in the
same country with the whites when
both were free and enjoying the same

favorable to the Turks. 1t is said in
yesterdays papers that if Greece will
acknowledge her defeat the powers
will put an end to hostilities. This she
refuses to do yet The outcome would
seem to be that King George will abdi-

further waste of life seems useless.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian tube. When this
tube gets infamed you have rumb-
ling sound of imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is
the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of Deafness caused by catarrh
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
