nrnr The Line Somewhere.

Since the last presidential campaign
1t seems that the surest way Tor man
to get his name in the paper is 10
lump on Governor OFerrau with both
feet. Whether the provocation is an ale
legged mental, moral, or political delln-
quency, the course OF treatment appears
to be the same. The latest public mani
festation Of this tendency occurred ln
Richmond last Sunday night when Rev.
Mr.. Potts q Methodist minister, from his
pulpit denounced the Governor by name
for attending a variety performance near
his home in the suburbs. The result
was a hrst-class local advertisement for
the show and an exploitation OF the
preacher in next days press dispatches.
The question arises, lsn't there do
main Of personal or domestic environ
ment i'm which even public officer
should be safe from the shafts Of news

tional preachers ?-ROckingham Register.
We heartily indorse this from our

The criticisms of Gov. OForrall per-
sonally and politically, have gone beyond

cannot we'll afford TO reply TO them, and
besides he is not now before the peo-
pie as a candidate for any office. He

Francisco several months ago for the
Adamless Eden In the South Seas are
coming back. Each dusky Eve Is under
stood TO have been found to regard man
as a mere dIshwasher and wood carrier.
This 81 hard world for people who
don't want TO work.
Alas. how our hopes betray us In the
unfeeling world. Now here was a par
~ OF men In whose minds dwelt the fig
monts OF fancy that inspired a dream Of
heavenly happiness amid the Southern
seas Away OFF on some sunny isle upon
whose sandy shores the ceaseless surges
break eternally In rythmic cadence, they
dreamed OF peace and happiness.
There beneath iuxuriant palms and
clustering vines, as the red disc rested
on the oceans breast. they were to lie
and sip cool sherbets from dusky fin
gers, whose tapering beauty rounded in
70 pretty wrists, whose bespangled bands
betrayed the gems OF princely cost.
From the sternly imposed labor of
this calculating country they would rush
TO where long days OF sunshine and
lulling eveningtidcs of perfect rest were
theirs. and from the positions Of toilers
and providers here. they should be re-
coived, washed and Amounted and set
apart beneath Towering canopies for the
onraptured alteration OF tho dusky Ewes
OF this Adamless paradise.
But 10! the dream changes, and the
reception takes a distinct and adverse
aspect. The dusky Ewes look and stare
at the unwashed throng Of worshp-seek-
ers who. with bows and grimmaces
profound, with stroke OF long mustache
or gallant dash of uncombed locks d.
rect attention 10 their personal charms.
But the gay dusky damsels laugh long
and scornfully, and with merry gibe point
TO the wood-pile and water-bucket, and
from their shaded bowers gleefully peep
at the solemn cluster on the baking
sands.
They are back, and their old-time Jobs

newed attractions as the vision Of the
Adamless Eden vanishes from their
