Professor Pierce, OF soule College.

terestisg lecture to the Normal students
and other teachers last Friday night.
Prof Pierce Is travelling in the interest

out his discourse he showed his entire
familiarity with school work and scnool
life, and il the teachers profit as they

The speaker represented to his hearers

teaching. The Professors reuarks
along this line we're all right, but 1t
seems to us that great help in enabling
teachers 10 perform their duties well
would be TO add ten dollars a month TO
their wages, In order to do the best pos
sible werk u teacher should not be ham
pered by thoughts of financial embar-
rassmcnt, and what teacher has not had
spell of the blues occasionally when
working for mere s25 or $50 per month";
A few dollars per month extra on each
teachers salary would not be felt by the
districts, and it would greatly increase
the usefulness Of the schools by induc-
ing better teachers TO apply, and stimu
lating those already engaged TO greater
energy. We are ip favor of paying the
teacher more. But few lectures like
the enc delivered by Prof, Pierce would
be of immense benefit TO our teachers, if
they would give IL the attention il de-
serves. The Professor is an "amoozin'
cuss" also, and intersperscd his talk
with many funny anecdotes. The pso-
OF Beaver hope that this will not be the
las, time they will be permitted 10 hear
Professor Pierce talk.

,JApaS,s PROTESTS.

As soon as IT was announced that a.
treaty had been negotiated by when 'n'
Hawaiian Islands were 20 be anneNeu
TO the United States. the government OF
Japan presented a formal and very eii-
phatic protest to this country against
the annexation. our state Department
accepted the protest IN good part anu
replied to II by a fair and tempei"U'
discussion OF the objections that "e'o
presented. on Saturday last the Japan
csc Minister. by command CT his nome
government, presented TO our state De-
partment a second very elaborate reVie"
Of the whole subject. which is as pointed
I'm its protest against contamination OF
the treaty Of annexation as the first one
was.
The question naturally arises, What Is
the meaning of this is It possible that
tho government Of Japan proposes 10
take the ground that the United states
OF America shall not do a thing which tho
United States Of America have determined
to do? 1t is almost incredible that
Japan should assume such a posiuon'
yet, It IS hardly possible to construe her
protests in any other way. The docu-
ments arc politely phrased, yet, in
international intercourse a protest or
that sort, however mildly expressed, Is
always understood to be notice that tho
government making it purposes to back
the protest with arms if it is unheeded.
We are utterly opposed TO the annexa-
ton Of Hawaii, but we do not at all
relish the idea Of this country being
threatened and bullied by Japan. 1t is
most unfortunate. too. that the japanese
have thought the course they adopted
the one best calculated to secure their
ends. 1t will convert thousands over TO
the plan of annexation who would have
opposed It If left TO themselves. The
japanese will find. therefore, that their
protest has injured their cause and will
not receive a feathers weight Of con-
sideration when the question Of annexa-
ton comes 10 be determined. Hawaii
will be annexed or rejected accordingly as
the people Of this country want or DO nor.
want the islands. and Japan's views Will
not affect the action or opinion of one
single American. They may get japan
into the hottest water, though, that any
japanese was told about.

THE SoUrHrRN ORATOR.

The Texas Cotton Choppers gave a pic
mic. 1t was held at Itasca, and here is
what happened there
"Ex-Governor Hog delivered the prin-
cipal address. At the conclusion Of his
address Miss Burton presented him with
hand-painted hoe, and spoke piece.
In accepting the hoe the tempest tossed
Executive spoke feelingiy as Ionows;
"'By this simple act you have placed
me under still deeper obligations TO you
for many valued and appreciated kind
nesses. The hoe IS the first implement Of
commerce. the emblem Of high civiliza-
ton. The man who uses a hoe and lives
by the sweat Of his brow is too honest

OF my heart for this assurance Of your

her full in the mouth, while tho great
crowd appIauded wildly"
Now we do not believe that this man
Hogg was so carried away by his elo-
quence that he did not know what he
was doing. OF course. that is the story
he will put up 10 the male members Of
that girls family, but It does not touch
US with conviction Of its perfect truth.
We know the occasion was a grand one.
There were the Cotton Choppers arrayed
in all the artistic glory Of Texan Holt
day. The bonny bronzed women, in their
vari-colored garments and floating rib
bons, and the double jointed rosy-cheeked
lads and lasses peeped from beneath
under a bushel. And, there, too,
was the hoe. Not an ordinary imple-
ment was this, with the soil OF Texas
clinging TO its serrated blade, but q

BYNUM'S RAINBOW.

The meeting in New York recently Of
Democrats who refused TO subscribe 10
the Chicago platform causes considerable
merriment, mock or serious as the case
may be, to some of the newspapers, who
accept William j. Bryan, Esq, as politi-
cal prophet and the Chicago platform as
an improved version Of Democratic faith.
They think they have consigned the
whole sound money Democracy to an
early but undoubted grave when they call
it 'Bynum's rainbow" and they comfort
ably hug themselves and pretend TO think
that they are going to remain the Dem
ocrauc party Of this country forever, be-
cause they happened, by a scratch, to get
control of the party's machinery and TO
put out TO the world as a party's platform
q collection Of maxims and declara-
lions which either openly avowed or poor
by concealed revolutionary purposes.
We are perfectly ready to concede that
large masses Of men often fail under de-
lusions that are Of the most absurd char
acter. History abounds with evidences Of
that. But we do not despair Of the ulti-
mate sanity OF these men because the de-
luslon has seized upon many instead or
few. History is entirely reassuring upon
this point also. 1t furnishes us with in
stance after instance in which the delu-
sion seized upon almost the whole popula-
ton. and yet in due time, it has passed
away, in every case ard left the body
polite sound and in good mental condi-
tion. History is always repeating itself
and we have not the slightest doubt
therefore that we shall soon see that
happen I'm the present case which has
invariably happened before in similar
cases. Men viii soon throw of their
viii begin wondering at the same time
how they could ever have accepted Mr..
Bryan as q safe leader or the Chicago
platform as a declaration of principles
upon which men could shape their inter-
course with one another
And, when we look at it dispassionate-
~ IS it probable that what Mr. Bynum
is engaged in Will be regarded ten years
hence as the chasing Of a rainbow He is
urging his fellow citizens TO reject the
proposition to coin fifty cents worth OF
silver and call it a dollar which q man
having a dollar due to him must accept
as payment Of that dollar. There are
thousands Of men who voted for Mr.. Bry-
an last November who If that PROPOSE
ton had been made to them twenty-five
years ago. would have replied that the
thing was q dishonest proposition. They
would have said that it was a scheme
TO forcibly deprive the man who had the
dollar due to him Of fifty cents worth OF
his property. They were either right
then or wrong now. They were so sure
then that they were right that they would
hardly have permitted argument upon the
point Many OF them would have been

vIRGINTAINTnE HOUSE.

Probably never before in the history OF
Virginia has our representation on the
committees OF the House of Representa-
tlves been as slight as 1t is under the
present regime Of Mr. Reed. In fact with
the single exception OF Mr.. Swanson on
Ways and Means Committee. we have no
representation on any leading commit
tee.
or course we do not expect under Re
publican administration to enjoy the
chairmanships or leading places, but un-
der the new appointments we have no
voice in any OF the important subjects
which leading committees hans under
their charge.
We do not take this as in any sense
disparaging to the character or native
ability Of our representatives because
many Of them are young in years and
inexperienced in legislative work.
There has also been evident discrimi-
nation against the Virginia members as
mentioned yesterday. in the case of Mr.
Rixey Of the Eighth District, who is not
given a place on the District OF Columbia
Committee, although his predecessors in
Yariably had it.
Within the past few years we have had
in Governor O'Ferran the Craftsmanship Of
the Elections Committee, while now no
Democratic member from Virginia is on
any one Of the three Elections Commit
tees.
Captain George d. Wise in the Fifty
third Congress was chairman Of Inter-
state and Foreign Commerce, Mr. Tucker
was on the judiciary and Foreign Affairs.
Mr.. Tyler on Naval Affairs. Mr.. Jones on
Rivers and Harbors, and Mr.. Meredith
on the District Of Columbia, but on none
OF these committees now have we a single
man, although when the Republicans con-
troll the committees there is always a good
minority appointed.
on such committees as Naval Affairs,
and Rivers and Harbors. in which this
State has so much interest, there is no one
left now to protect or advance our wants.
The Virginia assignments are as fol-
lows:
Mr. Epes, Immigration, and Revision Of
the Laws.
Mr.. Hay, Military Affairs.
Mr. Jones, Indian Affairs Private Land
Claims, and Expenditures in the State
Department.
Mr.. Lamb, Agriculture. and Expendi-
lures IN the Treasury Department.
Mr.. Otey Railways ana Canals, and
immigration.
Mr.. RiXey. Claims.
Mr.. Swanson, Ways and Means, and
Postoflices and Postroads.
Mr.. Walker, Elections No 3.
Mr. Young. Labor and Expenditures
in the Department Of Justice.
Mr. Yost, Claims, and Coinage Weights
and Measures.
This is not much to boast Of to be sure,
and Car Reed should have done US a
better turn.

THE VISIT OF THE G. a. Il. TO RICH
MOND.


1t would be worse than afectation-iV
would be insncere-to pretend that the
invitation which is TO be extended TO the
Grand Army Of the Republic 10 make
their encampment I'm 1S9S at Richmond
is not prompted by business considera-
iions.
There Is no place I'm the world where
she memory OF the deeds OF valor Of the
Confederate soldier are held i'm greater
admiration than here. There is no place
where the great principles Of States
rights, which, when violated 10y the in
vasion Of her territory. instantly changed
Virginia from the Union TO the Confede-
racy, are more venerated than here.
While on each side Of the great ques-
tions which divided North and South
there remains an unchanged devotion by
each to their respective convictions. yet
It Is notable fact that the differences of
political opinion, whctheF of to-day or of
ihirty-six years ago, melt away under
the warmth of cordial greetings when
the men OF different sides meet each other
socially.
The antagonism IS generic, not specific,
md seems now TO be SO understood. 1t
is not asked or expected that any man
who has convictions as TO which side was
right in the war between the States
shall surrender those convictions because
he takes In friendly grasp the hand of
one who was On the other side.
The receptions awarded the representa-
sives Of the Confederacy in Boston, I'm
New York, in Trenton and in Chicago
have settled forever the fact that Che
Confederate soldier meets the Union soil
der on MS own ground as his peer in
every respect.
There is therefore. good reason why
Ehe Grand Army should meet i'm Rich
mond ana on Confederate ground enjoy
o suitable and agreeable reception. IL is
difficult TO imagine place more fun of
interest 10 the Union soldier. Many thou
sands Of them fought around It and after
SITS destruction, marched through its
smoking ruins. Though they viii not
know the city now, they Will more easily

The reception and provision for such

but that they Will do their part well
should their invitation be accepted no
one can doubt. In any event they are
very mucn to be coDmende5 for their zeal
and enterprise. With such body Of
citizens the progress and welfare Of the
city Is assured.
What complications may be met be-
cause Of the place which the colored
troops have in the Grand Army Of the
Republic We cannot suggest. because we
10 no, know what the custom in the
matter is. But II IS certain that there
will be no change IN our own social GUS
toms here TO suit transient demand
should one be made-and this IS, no
doubt. understood or should be under

Rallade of The Bicyele Girl.

Through city and country she spins,
With skirtlets that hutter and fly;
Where Broadway's professional dins,
Where byways 10 quietness HE;
A JOY 70 the heart and the eye,
A simmer sway and swirl
All who can resist her? Not l!
The ubiquitous Bicycle Girl!
From capitals opulent inns,
From labor's poor tenements high,
She rides, as one rideth who wins
What nor money nor labor can buy
She sees the day redden and die
She hears the brook babble and purl,
She's mistress Of earth and OF sky
The ubiquitous Bicycle Girl.
She's Rosalind's sister-they'rs twins.
In franlIness and freedom they vie,
She lacks not for true paladins;
She's Dian Of crossways that lie
Where prudes cannot NEEDLE and pry
Where lips cannot question and curl,
Where prejudice dare not decry
