A Query.

IL the Editor Of the DAILY New DoMIN.
ION:
When men are advocates of par
ticular kind Of work they are very apt
TO exaggerate its virtues as well as the
faults Of the systems they are oppos-
ing. Yet that is not the best OF
surest way Of righting wrongs. To be
just to your opponent is always the
most advantageous for yourself and
your cause in the long run.
These remarks are induced by SEN
tence two or three times repeated last
night in the eloquent address Of the
colored preacher In speaking OF
slavery and its unquestionably great
injustice to the negro race, the speaker
said, evidently ia sarcastic way:
"But slavery had common sense en-
ough to keep the Bible and the SPELL
ing book away from the slavei"
What the writer of this note would
like to know is this: Is there any his
torlcal truth in such an assertion? Is
it not true, on the contrary, that the
majority of Shareholders treated their
slaves as in sense members OF the
family, and not only attended some
what TO their spiritual needs, but also
in many cases taught the slaves how
to read and write, when the desire
was expressed? The writer of this
has no sympathy with the confederate
cause, but he believes in giving the
devil his due, and, 10 this case, the
devil was really well meaning man,
too often forced to do a thing he did
not care to do, and often doing his
duty in IL very honorably. 1t has
been asserted that the actual condi-
tion OF the slave was better morally
and educationally before the war than
1t has been since, taking things in a
general way. If that be true, it is
due to the fact that, after all, the
were more faithful to
their duty, as they understood it, than
other people have been since their
time, who nevertheless boast of their
interest in the matter. The solution
is, Of course, to get all people sensibly
interested in the education and up
lifting Of the negro without casting
any reflection unnecessarily on the old
system, and without making state
ments that are very doubtful from an
historical standpoint. TRUTH.

A few weeks ago the editor was
taken with very severe cold that
caused him to be in most miserable
condition. 1t was undoubtedly bad
case of la grippe and recognizing it as
dangerous he took immediate steps to
bring about a speedy cure. From the
advertisement of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and the many good recon-
mendations included therein, we con-
cluded to make a first trial of the
medicine. To say that it was salts
factory in its results, is putting it
very mildly, indeed. 1t acted like
magic and the result was speedy and
permanent cure. We have no hesi-
fancy in recommending this excellent
Cough Remedy to any one afflicted
with cough or cold in any form. =

HOw's THIS FOR HOT sHOTg
Moved TO Wrath by London Journals
Tirade, Mr.. Dana Lets Loose Verbal
Thunder.

The Butcher resumes business at
the old stand: the Great Assassin
starts in upon a fresh course OF Arm
enian massacre under the cover and
the guarantee of st. Georges cross.
England, the pigeonlivered, white
Tipped coward among nations; the true
ulent bully and herself assassin of
the feeble: the cringing, bootlickiug
turnkey OF the strong, looks on inn
passive at the crucifxion OF people
done under the protection Of her pirate
flag. For, during more than 10 years,
her career has been one Of unbroken
piracy, whether by sea or land; pi-
racy directed, however, only against
the weak and helpless, during all
which time she has not looked one
military nation in the eye but TO brag
and buster and back down, RACES the
New York ''Sun". She and she alone
gave up Greek and Seryian and Bull
garian and Armenian to Turkish
massacre; she and she alone interfered
again and again, consistently and
steadily, to resist their emancipation
from the rule of blood; she and she
alone interviewed even by show Of arms
to return to that rule the bleeding
peoples rescued by Russian Christian
ity, humanity and treasure. She
alone, after guaranteeing from the
floor OF her parliament in the face OF
Europe the safety Of the human lives
from which, for price In hand paid
and still retained she forced the with
drawal OF Russian protection, has
since watched their slaughter by the
hundred thousand In cynical supine-
ness. 1t must not be suppo; led that
the english people are Indifferent
either to the crime against humanity
or to their own shame. But they
know that should thes attempt to in
terfcre they would be licked. They
know that they are not a match for
the Turk in arms. They know
him their master on the field Of bat
tie, and they would be licked. In
the language OF their own "Times,"
they 'must consider the British
Grenadier," that hero against naked
negroes, that laughing stock to the
soldiery OF Christendom. They know
that they have neither general officers
capable of meeting the strategists of
to-day nor quartermaster' nor a
commissary's organization capable of
taking the field against such stratc-
gists. England, baffled at every
point by her fellow powers, strong TO
hector but imoptent to strike, can
but roll her eyes in pious ecstasy
OF holy shuttle amid the derisiye grins
of nations prepared to back their
policy with parks Of artillery. The
nation of shopkeepers have shown
that they are nothing but shop
keepers and are treading the path
marked out by the Dutch nearly Two
ago. The shopkeeper with
a gun in his hand is not to be despis-
ed among men, The shopkeeper
armed with his yardstick is not
object. England is ter
ror to Chinese lat least with France
to help her) vision of dread to the
Egyptian fellah, an instrument OF
fate to the majesty of Benin. To
the Turk she is an object only OF con-
tempt, to Europe the Pantaloon Of

seat invites the wooden sword of
every Harlequin.

The Methodist Conference.


IIOA w tuAcouhy ,IdliN
The ministers composing the West
Virginia conference of the Nj. 4
church to the number of something
over two hundred are now guests Of
our town. Nearly every household
is entertaining representative oil
this body.
1t is not often that so large a
body of men are received as guests
of community. But this habit Of
extending hospitality to the minis
ter has been peculiar and prominent
| feature of Methodism from it's earli-
est history. The itinerant Metho-
dist preacher, in the olden time,
never sought hotel on his travels,
but knocked at the front door of one
of his brethren with as much assur-
ance, and was always received by
the host with as much cordiality as
a relative of the family might OK
pect. The same custom exists to a
greater or less degree to-day.
And there is never q more welcome
guest than the Methodist minister.
He is the man who is giving his life,
suffering hardships and privation
for the benefit of his fellow men, and
getting very little in return save the
respect of those who know and APP
preciate the sacrifices he is making.
The people of Morgantown, of all
denominations, are throwing open
their homes to these men, in recog-
milton and acknowledgement of the
common debt which humanity and
our civilization owes to the men who
are giving their lives to make the
world better.
There was no locking up of salua
bles before they came aud there will
be no inventories taken after they
are gone, but, although they are en-
tire strangers in most of the homes
where they go, their character for
absolute integrity allays any suspi-
cion of evil following the visit of a
Methodist minister.
We assure this devoted body of
men, of most hearty welcome from
our people, and we believe that every
home where they are housed will be
benefited by their presence.
We hope that both they ana we
the hosts and the guests mf.y feel
it to be an occasion to be plea sanity
remembered when they are gone =.

Speaking Of Hawaiian annexation,
the Philadelphia Ledger, Republican
journal, says:
With ratification of the treaty by
the United States we shall inherit all
the political, racial and traditional
discords of the islands and shall gain
no substantial advantages other than
those we shall continue to enjoy by
cultivating our present commercial re-
lations with the islands. A very large
proportion of the people of Hawaii are
nom voters and will remain non-voters
under annexation. These disfran-
chised races will inevitably become
FESTIVE and turbulent with political
rewards in the hands of the selected
few. 1t would be dangerous to clothe
the 40, 900 barbaric or semi barbaric
foreign inhabitants of the islands with
the voting privilege, with the Incl
dental right to hold Office and become
governing class.
