JUSTICE BRADLEY.

There is considerable comment
indulged in by the good citizens of
Washington, concerning Judge
Bradley's alleged unwise remarks
made regarding colored culprit
whom he had already sentenced.
The substance of the alleged re-
marks was to the effect that the
government was wasting time ana
money in allowing the condemned
man the formality of a trial and
limiting at lynching as not out of
place. This We say is alleged.
Several newspaper reporUs have ap-
peared regarding the matter and
while the Judge disavows the par
tieular language We have seen no
publication and have heard of no
instance in which he denies the
substance of the language charged.
Fairness to all concerned dictates
that the public should be slow to
believe that Judge Bradley could
so far forget his duly as Judge as
well as his duty as citizen, as to
give expression to sentiments which

pecial pride in noting the very high
estimation in,which his lifelong friend,
Capt. !. w. Lyons, our National Com
people of his own city and State, but
by the people throughout the country.
The plane to which our friend has
elevated himself is an inspiration to
all ambitious young colored men of
this country. As safe leader and
counsellor he towers above all others
as the foremost colored man of the
United States. and In his present posi-
ton has raised the colored man in the
estimation of the world.
From the Columbus, Ga, Chronicle
The death of Hon. B. K. Bruce
caused several politicians who have
been left out, to renew their claims
for the position of Register of the
Treasury. Among ITEM were {.
Napier, of Nashville, K K. Wright, of
Savannah, Gaines, of Kentucky, and
w. R. PeItiford, of Birmingham, Ala.
All made good showing, but Hon.
hudson Lyons, of Augusta, had the
inside track and was Justly awarded
the position last Thursday.
From the Appeal
The gentleman whose cut accom-
panies this sketch, needs no intrOduC-
ton to the people of this country.
Nearly all the people who read and
many who do not, have heard of tie
learned lawyer of Augusta. the Hon.
Judson w. Lyons This very hand
some man, standing more than six
feet high, enjoys the respect and con-
fidence of orr best people without ref
erence to what race they belong.
Lyons has lived here among the people
and his life has been an open book.
Calumny can not assall him.
From the Savannah, Ga Tribune
The President sent to the Senate
on Thursday. the nomination of Mr.
Lyons as register of the treasury.
There will be no fight on his confirm
alton, whiclIs expected to be speedily
done.
Over two months ago the President
told Mr.. Lyons, who was accompanied
by delegation from Georgia, that he
would give him a good position, in
keeping with his ability and worth.
The President has kept his word, and
the Republicans Of Georgia commend
him for the appointment.

UNITED DEMOCRACY.
1arations Made in the Strug-
gle of 1896.

The democratic party was never
more a unit in purpose and work than
it is at the present time. 1t was united
on the question of freedom for Cuba;
il was united on demanding that ret
ribution be administered to her for the
sinking Of the Maine and the murder
OF 266 American seamen. II stood
united in favor of the most vigorou
policy in the prosecution of the war
and to the extent that the national ad-
ministration has carried out the will
of the pc ople, has been and is as united
in its support as is the republican
party. The democratic party is united
upon the principles of the Chicago
platform. The issues upon which the
party battled for victory but which
met with temporary defeat in 1896.
are still alive and are the issues Of
1sos-99 and 1900.
No scheme of government and no
principle which fails to recognize the
interests of the toiling masses can be
enduring in this country. The demo
cratic party still stands by the prin-
ciple that would abolish government
by Injunction. The democratic party
still believes that our system of curren-
cy and the unequal coinage of gold and
silver at our minis are crying wrongs
for which there must be redress be-
fore this country will see lasting and
substantial prosperity. The demo
cratic party is united on the tariff
question. The Dingley bill Is a revenue
destroyer. labor paralyzer. destruc-
tive to American industry and Is
honeycombed with glaring favoritism
TO trusts and monopolies as against
the men who toll and sweat in work
shops, in factory and upon the farm.
Thedemocraticp party will go fight
ing as in the past for human right. for
justice and equality and neither the
fever Of war nor the temporar yvapor-
ings of those who discourse with
vagueness "our new responsibilities"
or of "the duties providentially laid
upon us" will detract from the main
issue. The greatest reforms of the
future will be accomplished in deal
ing with our domestic affairs and in
handling them properly and we need
not lose sight either of maintaining
our relations with the rest Of the
world

AN EQUITABLE RATIO.
More Money 10 Help Trade
and Industry.

Bimetallists want more l0o-cent
dollars, and goldites fewer i0o-cent
dollars-the fewer the better for
them. Bimetallists do not fix an un-
alterable ratio for The coinage Of the
metals; but demand that there be free
coinage of both metals, and favor the
existing ratio of sixteen TO one, be-
cause it has never been demonstrated
that free coinage Of both metals can
not be maintained at that ratio; but
on the contrary il has been demon
strated by a record Of so years in this
country and in Europe that this ratio
is an equitable one.
1t would be financial folly to advo-
cate any other ratio under existing
conditions; and the goldites know this.
Hence they do not advocate any other
ratio; but howl-to scare the people,
and TO prevent them from having all
the money they ought TO haye-"50-
cent dollars!" A veritable contra
diction in terms. and they know it.
Bimetallists are ready to concede
that ratios have been changed and
may be again; but in order to ascer-
tain what the ratio ought to be con-
ditions must be such as to prevent dis
elimination between the me tails; and
these conditions the United States is
powerful enough and rich enough to
establish unaided by and independent
of any European government. Before
silver was demonetized in 1873, silver
dollars were at premium Of from two
TO three cents above gold. That was
under free coinage. Would il not be
folly to change the ratio without some
evidence that II is not equitable?
Bimetallists favor free coinage OF
silver and gold by the United States
at the ratio of sixteen TO one the
present ratio-a ratio that differs but
little from the coinage ratios of the
governments of Europe and other por-
tons of the world. They favor this
because the business of the world
would be benefited by the infusion of
more money into the channels of
trade. Bimetallists do not want an
inequitable ratio. If il is found that
sixteen to one is an inequit table ratio
after IL has been tested. then il can
be changed by increasing or dimin-
| ishing il as may be necessary. But in
all probability no change will be neces-
sary.
Does the country need more dol
lars? Then coin them out Of silver
| and gold. The more the merrier. We
don't want dollars based on bonds. but
dollars that have the genuine metallic
ring to them. and that the tax payers
do not have to pay double interest on
interest not only TO the banks but
to the bondholders. Illinois State
| Register.

The circumstances were not favorable
for conversation.
You may be sure that Capt. Byron
left not hing undone for the comfort
| of the people so fortunately brought
under his care; and in their part they
were loud in their praises of his kind
ness and bravery.
On the third day after the wreck an
other steamer was sighted and sig
nailed. 1t was decided to transfer the
passengers and crew of the wrecked
vessel to her and let her take them on
to New York.
In the meantime the captain had
learned from Agnes that her father lad
died in Europe nearly year before.
'And So" said the captain. when
preparations were being made for the
transfer to the other vessel. "we part
here again"
That is for you to say" she replied,
with downcast eyes.
1T would not do for me TO take YOU
on with me alone"
Not III we're an officer, Tracy?"

Capt. Byron acted on the hint.
Among the passengers there was an
old clergyman they had all learned
about the former relations OF Agnes
and Tracy, and this good old man did
not need much coaXing 10 perform the
marriage ceremony for his gallant
rescuer.
And so Agnes Byron remained for
that voyage on the General Scott. and
as the boats left the ship the passen-
gers chcered the captain and his mate,
and wished them God-speed and a hap.

The captain left the house, wrote the
particulars of his meeting with her
father 10 Agnes and asked for one
more meeting. but she made no reply.
From this time on Tracy Byron Was
changed man. He heard the follow

rope with her father. but his pride

Nearly six years after his last meet
ing with Agnes Iayne the General
Scott, still commanded by Tracy
Byron, was bound for Dantzig, with
a cargo from Baltimore. They had
been out OF port abou: ten days when
the forward lookou. shouted down:
"A steamer on the port bow flying
signals OF Distress"
Glass in hand, the captain sprang
into the rigging, and he saw in the
direction indicated a transatlantic
mail steamer, her decks crowded with
people, while through the rigging
there rolled black smoke that did
not come from the furnace tunnels.
THE ship is on fire!" shouted the
captain. and he looked at his watch
and saw that there were only two
hours of daylight left.
The course of the General Scott was
altered, and as the ships neared they
exchanged. signals.
From these signals Capt. Byron
learned shat the steamer was the City
of York, from Southampton for New
York, with general cargo and 1920
passengers on board. lie further
learned that the steamship had en-
countered a terrific storm and that all
her life boats were washed away.
Capt. Byron at once gave orders 10

he could not spare men 10 manage the
second one-and at once the work of
rescue began.
1t was quite dark before the first
boat load of women and children
reached the General Scott, and they
were at once transferred to the cabin,

But the people were so happy AT be-

had served coffee and distributed

The captain had been too busy res

little reason to doubt that it was be-
cause of the fierce spirit of liberty that
was 80 strong in Bethel, that the Brit
ish commander was induced to make
his venomous threat.
The influence of Bethel church and
its pastors on all the northeastern por-
tion of York county is difficult to es-
innate but to say that it has been re-
narkable only puts it mildly. That
there was good material to begin with,
of course, goes without saying; but
noble men of God must have been the
early preachers, and brave, pious men
and women there must have been in
the community to produce first such
man as was Rev. James S. Adams,
and next such a man as was Rev.
Samuel Watson. The stories of the
lives and labors of these great men
would fill interesting volumes. Both
were ideal pastors. They spent their
entire lives in the service of their
flock. Few were the lawsuits that
grew out of the Bethel neighborhood
during their long and useful lives, and
almost as few are there today. The in
fuence of these men is still alive.
Some SO years ago, Sheriff Brian said
that if all of York county was like
the Bethel section, there would be lit
tie if any use for the Office of sheriff.
The present sheriff can say the same
thing with almost as much truth.
The early Scotch-Irish settlers
taught their children to support their
church, to be truthful, to pay their
debts, to be frugal, industrious and
hospitable. None of these character
istics have been lost, and taken as a
whole, it is doubtful as to whether,
even at this day a more ideal, commu-
nifty can be found in the entire state
of South Carolina. There is no very
great wealth in Bethel. There never
has been; but neither has there been,
or is there now, much poverty. The
great majority of the people are good,
comfortable livers, for the most part
happy and contented. They raise up
their children under the teachings of
the church, and educate them accord
ing to their means, and the community
continues to produce men and women
of the kind that has made its history
so creditaLle.

The correspondent remarked that
no doubt he would be appealed to by
many families, especially where large
fortunes are at stake. The professor
replied:
"I am no man of business, but ex-
clusively scientist. I am not anx-
ious to gain fortune, but desire above
everything that my discovery shall be
scientifically confirmed and recognized.
The Academy of Sciences alone can
do this. I have accepted no reward
for the successful cases I have treated.
They are precious to me beyond gold
as proofs of the reality of my discov.
cry. I have achieved success in
family in which the desires for the
birth of a son were intense. If / told
you the name of the head of the fam
lily you would know that for him to
pay me $40, 900 for my services would
be no more than for you to pay a
doctor for examining your throat.
But ] did not accept any reward.
GAIL former theories and hypothesis
have been proved false. According to
my discovery the man has no influence
whatever on the sex of the child. 1t
all depends upon the woman. But
the treatment must not begin after
pregnancy it must begin before con-
ception, as the woman must be put
into a position to enable her to develop
a male child from the ovum. The as
sertion that the ovum in the female
ovary possesses the male or the female
germ already developed before impreg-
nation is false. On the contrary, the
embryo is sexless during several stages
of development. 1t is possible that
my treatment can develop a male
child even in this stage, but there is no
certainly of it.
"My discovery is based upon the
scientific fact that the blood in a
grown-up man contains 100000
blood corpuscles, the bearers of life
giving nourishing oxygen, while the
blood in a grown-up woman contains
only 100000. This difference is the
basis of differences in sex and of the
different moral and physical working
powers in man and woman. This
proportion is observable in the slight.
est quantity of blood from a man or
woman. All my efforts are directed
toward producing in the embryo the
right number of blood corpuscles re-
quired by the male. 1 have succeed
ed in attaining this effect by suitable
nourishment of the woman and by in
fuencing the metabolic process in the
change of matter"
