Toms unintentional rescuer came
quickly along until he caught sight of
the PROSTATE figure, then he stopped
short and slipped his hand behind him,
glaucing sharply about on every side.
Apparently satisfied that no one was
near, he knelt by the motioules- form
and struck a match,
1t was a ghastly picture. Toms face
was so covered with blood that his fea-
lures were not recognizable. his cloth
ing was disarranged and covered win

deep groan came from the PROSTATE
mans lips.

the stranger rose TO his feet and ran

was gone but an instant, returning

that schools so controlled would pro-

THE irrepresstble conflict between
the white people of this country and
their now free and equal negro tel.
low citizens, has manifested itself il
the international Sunday school con-
yention. When the negroes were
slaves, the relations between them anc
&he white people were OF the most init
mate and friendly character, and the
former were the happiest human be-
ings on the face of the earth, as they
knew that as long as their masters
had bread and meat for themselves,
they would provide for them also. But
the Northern abolitionists thought 9TH
.erwise, and so it is entirely different
now, and the best way for the two
races to get along together is to have as
little equality with each other as posi-

FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL Is. 1899

THERE WERE in the last Congress
six democrats, and four republican
members of the House of Representa-
tives from Virginia, all OF whom were
elected, or rather, were decided to have
been, by the dear" people. Does any
intelligent Virginian believe that any
one of them was s. more competent or
efficient congressman than either one
of the two Senators who were elected
by the legislature? Then too, the de-
mand that the impossible task of
changing the United States constitu-
ton by the vote OF Virginia, is not
made by the democrats OF the State,
but only by few of them, some OF
whom cannot be relied upon, as they
deserted The party three years ago. Peo-
ple who profess to be so excessively fond
of the dear people are usually found to
be more fond of themselves. But be-
sides this. there must be discipline in a
political party as we'll as in an army,
and any desired change in the party ;
2olicy must be made in accordance
with the rules and regulations of the
party's plan of organization, and not by
the whims of a few members OF the
party, even if those who entertain them
be entirely unselfsh and unprejudiced.

one of six other white men doomed to
death by the negroes OF his neighbor-

has always been known, and that they

worst of it is, there is nothing to induce
the hope that the condition will i'm
prove, but much to excite the fear that
it NAV provoke greater trouble.
