Objectionable, If not contemplate.
The Richmond Times last year, de
serted its party and joined the ranks
OF the enomy, and now we want to
ask, what has the Times got to do
with Democratic politics in Virginia.
The Roanoke Evening World per-
tinently remarks:
1.-The Times has recently talked as
though it expected little piece of
tail to wag the whole dog; but we
do not even recognize the Times rs
the tip end of the tail of the Demo
cratic big dog; but as the caudal APP
pendage to Mark Hannas little Re-
publican bite.
If the Times wants a say so in the
management of the Democratic party
OF Virginia all it has to do is to say.
81 will enter the party again and
abide by the decision of the MAORI
ty.' Unless it can do this there is
no Democracy about the Times and
the party can allow the thing ''to 90
It's way and dictate its own future {"

THE Richmond Times is out i'm
an article urging the invitation of
Hon. VIM. j. Bryan to address the
democratic convention at Roanoke.
While there is a vein of quiet Sar
casm permeating the entire article,
and the closing paragraph is in
tended to convey the idea of the
great numerical strength of the
gold democrats in Virginia, yet
taken literally, we commend the
advice given to the serious consid-
Grafton of the committee Oh invi
tatiOn. They certainly can do the
cause of silver no harm by giving
the delegates of the state an OppOr-
tunity to hear the question dis
cussed by the ablest exponent of
the free coinage of silver in the
United States. BY all means, let
tho editor of the Times be gratilied.

tatiOn.-BristOl Times.
The only reason we have to
doubt the prOpriety of the above
suggestion, is that the Times pro-
poses it.

A Failure.

A certain professor in one Of the lead
ing schools of this city was not long
since desirous of Incorporating some
negro dialect in story he was prepar-
ing. Not being very well versed in their
manner of speech, no bethought him
that it would be a good idea to study
the language in its purity undefiled.
With this end in view he betook himself
to the vicinity of the Union depot, near
which representatives of the ebon race
are always to be found.
One effort was enough. Meeting a
coal black negro driving a wagon rather
well loaded and accosting him as
Uncle John" the following brief dia-
logue ensued:
Pretty heavy load, uncle. Can you
get up the hill with it'?'
II do not know, sir, but L presume
So"
Such an example of pure and unde-
filed English coming from such an un-
expected source almost paralyzed the
professor, who muttered something
about the "degeneracy Of the modern
negro" and, mentally deciding to con-
suit the works of "Uncle Remus," he
retraced his steps to his apartments.

The principles laid down for the
