Home to See His Mother.

Mr.. G.. r. Davis, who stands charged
with the ENLIGHTENMENT Of $1,000 from
the Adams Express Co., while engaged
as one of the company's messengers
between Washington and Allan ia, ar
rived here yesterday and spent the
afternoon with his uncle, Mr. J. w.
ellis, and his family. The young man
over whose live such shadow has fallen
came here from Washington to see his
mother, who lives in Buckingham,
and today he went to the old home.
Young Davis loyalty and true de-
votion to his mother mark him as any
thing but criminal, and no one of his
legion of friends in this section will be-
lieve him guilty Of the terrible charge
made against him.
Mr.. Davis will return to Washington
to meet any aud all charges that may
be brought against him, conscious Of
his ability to vindicate himself. No
Indictment has yet been presented
against Davis, but he expects to be
dicted, and yet he will not hesitate to
stand and fight the charges which he
stoutly AYERS are unjust. Mr. Davis
and his aged mother and their connec-
tions have the earnest heart sympathy
of friends in all this section in this hour
of their sad and awful ordeal.

The Farmville HERALD has just en-
tered upon its tenth year. The editor
of the HERALD, J. l.. Hart, has been

is a tribute to his excellent manage

Farmvlile's Tobacco Trade.

This market has no superior for the

number Of pounds. During the season

Charlotte Court.

Probably there was never a larger
crowd IN attendance upon a ecounty
court term in Charlotte than was that
on Monday last. The political situa-
ton in the Democratic ranks seems to
have been the main attraction to the
people, and there being no special work
on the farms enabled all TO turn out.
The farmers of Charlotte are thrifty,
prosperous looking people. and not a
complaint was heard throughout the
day against the crops which have just
been gathered. The day was as per-
feet as one ever wished to see In the
beautiful month Of October, and those
who went from Farmville never more
enjoyed the ride as we'll as their stay
about the court green during the day.
Among those there from this place
were Col. G. NJ. Walker, Messrs. }. A.
Scott, G. r. Morton, f. NJ. Bugg, J.
ID. Watkins, f. L. Morris, r. w. Gar
nett, J A. Armistead and j. l.. Hart
The Democrats held a meeting in the
courthouse at noon and unanimously
adopted a set Of resolutions thoroughly
harmonizing the two factions in their
ranks. The resolutions provided that
the candidacy Of Dr. Priddy for the
legislature should be endorsed, and that
the county craftsmanship should be
given to the friends of Mr.. Rice, who
also was a candidate for the legislature
but who at once withdrew in the in
terest Of harmony.

Miss Canada instead of being puny,

unproductive on the extreme northern

Word From the Coast
About the Parallel.

Under San Francisco date the STAN
dard has received the following letter
from Rev. P. j. MacCorry, with the re-
quest. cheerfully assented to by the
Standard, that it "be given equal
prominence as the discussion referred
to-"

simple words on the Butte Parallel

the extracts paralleled, J. beg to say

resentative of the Miner, the quotations
IN question are duly credited to for
elsn sources by quotations marks and
root note references on three distinct
occasions.

occasion will recall. In two instances

nave been omitted in the printed re-
ports-the second parts of the passages

proofs failed to reach me.

The Kaiser's Logic.

Attest tidings from Samoa are to
the effect that Malietoa Tanu
was recognized as king 'just for
fun'-at least, it seems not to have
been in the plan of the commission
that is trying to straighten the Sa-
moan tangle that he shall be king and
run things.
Malietoa is the claimant who was
recognized by American and English
representatives at Apia; the acknowl-
edgment of his rights confirms the
ruling made by Chief Justice Cham
bers. 1t transpires that Malietoa is
recognized as regular for FORMS sake;
the proposition is that he shall not rule
but that the three powers which thus
far have had poor success in keeping
Samoa at rights shall devise some
new scheme for governing the island
Mataafa is the fellow whose side
was taken by the German consul at
Apia; for a time it looked as if Kaiser
William proposed to stand by this up
start. Confessedly. he is not of the
royal line and Berlin's interest in him
mas suggested pat comment lot the
Washington Star, which remarks that
the German attitude in the Samoan
affair is in strange contrast with the
theory which the Kaiser has lately
been attempting to exploit at The
Hague.
Mataafa Is not descendant of the
late king. Were the laws of primo
geniture and heredity to be applied to
the controversy in the islands. Male
toa Tanu would clearly be entitled to
the kingship without reference to his
formal election. Would Emperor Will
liam be willing to recognize Malietoa
on the basis of the doctrine which he
proclaims as the reason for rejecting
the general arbitration proposal? M, "a
On what ground, the Star pertinently
asks, is the Kaiser disposed to advo-
cate Mataafa, a rank outsider,"f in
preference to the son and heir of the
departed monarchs? The divine right
is fragile fabric if it cannot be
stretched to cover all sorts and condi-
tions of kingship.

sus. / have no doctrine to preach
which has not been preached by him

more capable than 1. Much of my
thoughts, my style and method of ex-
pression-poor as they are-are derived
very largely from the great French
preachers, BoSsuet, Fenelon and Bour-
daloue from Manning and Newman in
England, as well as from many eminent
statesmen and churchmen in the United
States. I have never in my life felt
any necessity of concealing that.
1t seems to me self-evident to every
thinking mind that no man can become
saturated with the thoughts, concep-
lions and language of other and greater
men without becoming unconsciously
to some extent their echo and exponent,
a fact demonstrated in the history of
literature a thousand times. Without
rejecting for moment on the unques-
tionable-if acknowledgements of Mr..
Ingersoll, but simply because his name
has entered this discussion, l have yet
to find an argument or idea of any i'm
portance in his works that l had not

For the rest-I am silent. If any of
my words or the words of others which
I have quoted has brought anything of
sunshine or help or hope into the hearts
and lives of the men or women who
may have heard me, for me it is
enough. The rest is between my con-
science and my God, and know / shall

They Don't Want 1t.

II T last nights meeting, called to
4 consider the question of a
Fourth of July celebration, the
rally was not large. Practically moth
ing was done-it now looks as if the
day would go by default in this city.
By this plan Anaconda will be put
in contrast not pleasant with many
other cities of the state-as a rule, the
Fourth will be generally observed
throughout Montana. Pay rolls are
first-rate in Anaconda; at the smelling
plant, for recent months, they have
been high average; the present
months record is excellent.
But there is complaint that times are
not good. Several days ago the mayor
made inquiries among the merchants
and business men of the city; his re-
port was that there was lack of express
sions in favor of a celebration. Last
night the effort to hold meeting
seemed practically to amount to a con-
firmation of the conclusion reached by
the mayor.
Anaconda certainly ought to honor
Independence day in fitting style. But
what ought to be done-rather, what
the local public ought to want to do
makes no odds; lack of public interest
Is manifested plainly enough.

Monetary Reform"

~ HERE can be no doubt that dur

islation will be enacted on the
line of what the gold and bank-paper
men are pleased to term monetary re-
form" The republicans will be in full
control of national legislation: they
have political debts ito pay to the great
money influences which placed them in
power. 1t is clear, however, as often
intimated by the Standard, that they
will not go the full length of the de-
mand made by the so-called monetary
reformers.
presidential election will be close
at hand-Mr. Mckinley will unques-
ttonably be the republican candidate.
