A DESERTER'S APPEAL.

| Judge Speer, Of the Federal court of
Georgia, by one of those unaccountable
alterations WHICH sometimes overtake
rational people, was recently invited
to deliver an address to graduating
class of Mercer University, in the
course of which he took occasion to
speak of the negro problem in the
South and to offer suggestions for it's
solution.
He counseled that that provision of
the Georgia law which prohibits the
judges of the Superior courts from ex-
pressing opinions upon matters of fact
in criminal cases, be repealed, and the
federal rule on the subject (Which has
made these tribunals stencil to the
nostrils of right thinking people, which
gives the judge practically the power
to direct verdict, ignoring the jury,)
be adopted.
If our impressions are correct, this
same judge has made it hobby to at
tack, in his rulings, the laws of Geor-
gia, on one occasion holding that all
the election laws of the state are void
because repugnant, as he alleged, to
the constitution of the United States,
| decision which if enforced would have
produced anarchy and an examination
of his other decisions will show that
they are generally favorable to corpo-
rations as against the rights and inter-
ests of private citizens. No wonder
| then that he desires to see the sphere
of absolution extended until the Judi
cial branch of our government shall
represent, in its entirety, the Russian
idea of government. Considering the
low status of the federal courts, whose
judges too often secure their appoint
ments for their dirty political services
rather than for their personal fitness,
and whose juries are generally COM
posed of men of straw, we should be
very 10th to see them copied in any
particular by our state tribunals,
which in the vast majority of cases, are
fully representative of the honor and
intelligence of the commonwealth.
But nobody cares for Judge Speer or
his private opinions. The point that
we make is, that in this address he has
violated the ethics pertaining to his
office by expressing opinions on politi-
cal subjects, and committing himself
to policy which he may afterwards
pass upon in his official capacity. This
however may he federal usage :" we
are sure though that it is not the meth
cd propriety.
Judge Speer, a few years ago, pro-
fessed to be an ardent Democrat, and
was a representative of that party for
two or three terms in the federal con-
gress, but for some cause, became de-
serter therefrom. 1t is characteristic
of deserters always to hate the cause
which they have betrayed and for this
reason we believe that Judge Speer's
views, if acted upon, will not betor the
good of Democratic Georgia.
Mercer University, we believe, could
have found an orator more represent
ative of, and sympathetic with, South
ern sentiment than the one selected for
this occasion, who, in his address, gave
no Southern Democrat any credit what
ever for the production and establish
ment of the Constitution of the United
States. A few more doses of Speer, we
believe will seriously affect that insti-
tuition.

ckdH gay and expectant assem-

.hgE on, promise me to be true ,
Il then there sweeps down the aisles a
bridal party; in the van four little
~ girls apparelled in pink and
carrying in their hands bright
md beautiful flowerss typical of their
bwn purity; then came the fair faced
bridesmaids in pink organdie dresses,
while alternating were the groomsmen
in evening dress suits, forming a semi
circle in front of Mpaltar then bring
ing up the procession came the young
and beautiful bride in dress of white
and enveloped in snowy veil, with her
pretty maid of honor, at her side, also
dressed in pure white, carrying flowers.
The groom takes his place beside the
bride and they face the imam of God -
and there they plight their vows until
death do part"
Then they pass out of the church with
faces radiant and wreathed in smiles
and hearts. flooded with new born Joys.
Under the spell of sweet music they 90
forth to face the future to make life a
benediction to themselves and others.
Next morning, in the same church,
ut eleven O'Clock, there is another scene
and another assemblage. Solemn Vi
saged people look into each other 5
faces, there is hush of voices, and the
silence is only broken by the entrance
of six pall-bearers carrying flower
covered casket, containing the cold
lifeless form of beloved citizen, fol-
lowed by broken-hearted wife and
mourning sons and daughters. There
is music, on this occasion also. The
Amusic of song and organ tells in a
alaintive pathos of saddened hearts
53s(h the hope of meeting some sweet
. day" The minister stands forth and
tells of broken family ties, the severing
of the happy union. The bridal wreath
of beauty of many years ago fades
at the touch of the death angel and
in -consoling words he proclaims
Blessed are the dead who die in the
Lord" The funeral discourse over,
the sad assemblage passes out of the
church, under the song that tells of
parting and of pain, and the final tri-
umph and meeting on the beautiful
shore" Tears flow and hearts suffer.
and the sacred ashes of the departed
loved one finds its last resting place in
the city of the dead"
And thus we see in few short hours
bride OF youth and beauty entering
upon the suspicious future of nuptial
happiness and promises of sunny days +;
and then of another bride of many
years ago who stood just as happy at
the marriage altar. now with bitterness
OF heart and anguish of soul, weeping
over a separation that the "silent
reaper" has caused.

General Otis cables from Manila: Land
ing was made necessary because OF the
crowded condition OF the troops on the
Transports
Experience has proved that soldiers lose
spirit and fighting qualities when confined
long on board ship, so the war department
asked General Otis to ascertain il ii was
possible for General Miller to land his
expedition near 1loilo. He cabled that it
was and he was then instructed to order
landing. II was deemed nadvisable to have
this expedition return to Manila without
having landed because it was feared the
natives of Luzon would think the Philip
mos at lloilo had repulsed the Americans
The presidents policy OF pacifcation will
be continued and no attempt to land at
lloilo will be made at present The island
on which the men have landed is healthy
