Deafness Cannot be Cured

THURSDAY EVENING. AUG. 20, 1897
In A speech he made at Richmond
Yesterday. Governor O'Ferrall said:

yesterday, toVernof " oi'e''i o"io
"I love the Southland that gave me
birth with an intensity that knows no
degree. But my devotion to her as
she was and she is can be measured by
no rule, hence l have no sympathy
with the idea with what ID termed
new South. 1 want no foreign graft
upon the modes and customs. manners
aud ethics, instincts and impulses, doc
trines and teachings of the South"
But, for all THE, the Governor, 80
short a time ago as last fall. did all he
could to defeat the election OF q demo.
cratic President, and elect the candi-
date of the republican party, which
party, by its support OF the force bill,
would have placed large part OF the
South under negro domination, and
which appoints negro postmasters'
marshals and internal revenue COL
lectors in the South, but takes good
care not to do 80 in the North. Then,
900, it cannot be forgotten that the
Governor entertained Richmond and
q Boston negro at e reception in the
Executive Mansion in Richmond.
Such actions on the Governors part, to
the ordinary old time Virginian,
seem; to be 80 unlike the old, as to be
very much like the new South.

THE KING KILLERS can't be kept
down. whether their victims be tenn
porary or life long rulers, and though
thew invariably accomplish their own
unenviable exit, and do the cause they
profess infinite harm, they persist in
their deviltry. Yesterday one of them
assassinated the President of Uruguay
but though he will suffer death there
for. there will be another President,
who will probably be worse than the
one he has murdered. But there al.
WAYS have been king killers and there
ALWAYS will be.

another "slip" has been made, and that
the bureau of statistics, which furnish
ed the data upon which the wool
schedule of the Dingley tariff bill was
prepared, made slip OF over twenty.
six and a. quarter million pounds Of
that article. A slip in the agricultural
report of the wheat crop few years
ago is we'll remembered. But strange as
it may appear to the unsophisticatsd,
all these slips rebound to the interest
of a favored few, at the expense of the
unfavored many. However, as the
people of this country must be taxed,
the money exacted of them, that is not
stolen, must be expended one way or
another, 10 order that there may be at
least plausible excuse for keeping up
the tariff, and SO it may as we'll be spent
in paying for the preparation of incor-
rect statistics az for any other equally as
fraudulent scheme.

The Grain Market.

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-Wheat shot up
ward to-day as if a volcano had burst
under the market. September which
closed last night at 964 started to-day
with sales all the way from 9S4 to 81.
Within FIVE minutes it was selling at

but not broad. Before the upward
rush ceased the quotation was 1884
To-day was the first time the bulge has
carried the price past the dollar mark
in Chicago. Later advices from Live

and Chicago followed suit, September
declining almost as rapidly as it had ad.
vanced. The price twenty minutes
after the opening was 9S4. December
at one time was at 7c. discount. At
10 q. m. another rally carried Septem-
Der again to 1.O14. The market be-
came quieter about an hour from the
opening with September holding at
about 81 and December at 92s.

"BUT WHITE men will have to be
whipped too" What sort of white
men? Thieves, burglars, highway
robbers, &C., &c. What especial con-
sideration do such white men deserve :?
Very many of those now in the Virginia
penitentiary are 'crooks" from the
North and West; give such fellows
few doses of the whipping post, as they
do in Delaware, and the result will be
the same; they will give Virginia a
wide berth and carry on their opera
tions elsewhere. The penitentiary will
do very well for some classes of offend
ers-those who may be reformed-but
"crooks" are very seldom reformed.
When they get out, they resume their
old trade and soon come back again.
Try the whipping post on them and see
if it is not a success, in getting rid of
them at least.
