The Passenger Fare Case.

In the circuit court at Jacksonville
Monday Judge Call listened to the argu-
ments of attorneys in the case OF the state
of Florida against the Savannah, Florida
and Western and the Florida Central and
Peninsular railroads, for refusing to COM
ply with the order of the railroad COM
mission of July Is, 1898, directing them
TO reduce the passenger fare from 10 3
cents. Attorney General Lamar was di-
rected by the commissioners, on June 20,
1899, to bring suit against the above
mentioned companies, and he recon-
mended that Judge b. S. LIddon and j.

disappearing Mr.. Bryan.

In Washington last Saturday
Mr.. Bryan complained that there
seemed to be a deliberate determin-
alton on the part of some of the
newspapers unfriendly to him to
misrepresent his position in respect
to the Philippines. In order that
there might be no ground for such
Misrepresentation he stated his po-
sition on that subject in writing.
Notwithstanding this effort to set
himself right, some of the cores
pondents of leading Republican
papers stated in their dispatches
the substance of what he wrote in a
way that was calculated to create a
wrong impression.
For instance, the correspondent
of the Times-Herald, of Chicago,
who has the reputation Of being
one of the ablest newspaper men in
Washington, stated in IA dispatch
to his paper that Mr.. Bryan was
"for expansion, but was against
imperialism" and that he explain
ed what he meant by saying that
he favored giving the Filipinos in
dependence and protecting them
against outside interference. He
also made the statement that Mr..
Bryan did not explain how Fill
pino independence could be recon
ciled with an American protec-
torate. =
; AS matter Of fact, Mr.. Bryan
did make such an explanation.
He said that the kind of protector
ate the American government
should exercise over the Philip
pines was the same aS that which
1T exercises over the republics OF
Central and South America, sim
ply to prevent European nations
from interfering 'in the affairs OF
those republics or endeavoring to
dominate them.
For this country to exercise such
authority. might not be a good
thing for the Filipinos, and it might
, be more costly than profitable fol
this country. Still Mr.. Bryan IA
vors such Il protectorate for the isl
ands, and it is hut fair that his pO'
sition be correctly stated i'll both

Dissatisfaction With Mr.. Bryan.

A Washington despatch in the
Baltimore Sun says information
has been received in that city that
Mr.. Bryan has received letters from
at least dozen Democratic leaders
in the south asking him to retire
as a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for president. In many
papers statements are appearing
that among Democrats in Washing
ton there is considerable dissatis-
faction with Mr. Bryan. Demo-
cratic senators are represented as
being satisfied that he cannot come
as near being elected as he did in
the last presidential contest, and
that his views on several impOr-
tant questions are not acceptable
to very large numbers of Demo
cratic voters. There is talk also
that when he reaches New York a
determined effort is to be made to
induce him to abandon the 16 to l
idea.
All of this sort of political gossip
is interesting, but it does not prove
anything No weight is to be at
tached to it as long as no one OF
the Democratic leaders is willing to
come out into the open and state
that he is opposed to Mr.. Bryan,
and will use his influence to pre-
vent him from being nominated.
1t would be very remarkable if Mr..
Bryan did not have some opposi-
ton He does not expect that he
will be nominated by acclamatiOn.
All the il dications are, however,
that he will have such an over
whelming majority in the nOmi-
mating convention that the OppOsi-
ton will hardly be worth consider
ing.
1t is probable that those who are
doing the most of the talking
against him were against him in
1896. That explains probably why
they will not permit their names
to be gi:en in the interviews III
which they express anti-Bryan
sentiments.
Mr.. Bryan is not going to change
his views on the. money question
the expansion question or any
other question. lie could not very
well afford to change them. If he
were To do so he would cease to be
popular with those who are now
his stauncheSt friends.

erncd by the right principle, there will be

We say that the Christian nations OF
the earth now have a great opportunity
to do a great thing for the religion which
they profess. For years they have been
sending missionaries to China to convert
the heather to the Christian faith Inc
Chinese have been told that the Christian
religion stands for all that is noble and
honest and just and unselhsh and uplift-=
ing. They have been told that its rule
of conduct is as ye would that men Should
do to you. do ye even SO unto them. But
If the Powers shall take advantage OF
China's emergency and make exorbitant
demands of her: il they shall insist upon
taking large slices of her territory be-
cause she cannot help herself; If they shall
make the terms of peace harsh and un-
reasonable, what will the Chinese think
of their religious professions?
Christianity does not teach men to play
the game of grab. to take a helpless deb
tor by the throat and choke him till he
pays the last farthing. Neither does it
teach nations to do so. Actions speak
louder than words. All the preaching In
Christendom will not convert China, unless
the Christian nations can convince the
Chinese that their religion is something
more than empty profession, that it is
reality. that it is their rule OF conduct,
and that they practice what they preach.
Missionaries may speak with the tongues of
angels and of men, but if the Christian
nations have not charity in their dealings
with China, their religious professions are
as sounding brass and tinkling cynlbals.
The Christians have a glorious oppor-
tunity to impress China with the beauty
and divinity Of their religion. viii they
utilize it?

"A WISE RESOLVE.

The Army Of Tennessee of the United
Confederate Veterans met in New Orleans
on Tuesday night to pay respect to the
memory of General Zebulon York. During
the meeting attention was called to the
speech of General Shaw and General Cor
don's reply on the occasion Of the Blue
and Gray Reunion in Atlanta, and there
was lively discussion. One comrade
thought that General Shaw's reasons
should have been treated with contempt,
and that General Gordon should be CEN
sured for taking part in such meetings
and for having accepted an invitation TO
attend a similar meeting soon to take place
in western city. The upshot of the dis
cussion was the adoption of resolution,
in which it was said that this association
deprecates and objects to all so-called
Reunions of the Blue and Gray, and pro-
tests against General John B. Gordon ac-
ceping an invitation TO be present at the
reunion of the Grand Army of the Re
public :n his capacity Of commander of
the United Confederate Veterans"
That is a wisd resolution, and it would
be a good thing for all Confederate Vete-
ran organizations 70 make a similar resolve
and stick to it. It too often happens that
these so-called Reunions OF the Blue and
Gray are gotten up for advertising pur-
poses, or for some other selfish purpose.
At any rate they do not tend to promote
harmony between the sections" and they
are to be discouraged. Confederate Vete-
rams may meet Union Veterans as indi-
viduals and swap lies with each other
and sleep on The same bed and be as socia-
bic as possible and never have a cross
word. This is done every day. Confeder-
alta Vets go north and Union Vets come
south and do business together and min
gle together in the social circle, and every
GrayS and the B.ues meet together in an
organized capacity the case is quite diff
ferent- When a squad of Johnnie Rebs'
In uniform meets squad of 'Yanks'' in
uniform, the old fellows have got their
lighting clothes on and You may look out
for a scrap. Then it is that old memories
are revived, that old associations are re-
called. During the war individual Con-
federate soldiers would meet individual
Union soldiers on the outposts and swap
things and joke one another and be as
friendly as free-silVer Democrats and Popu-
lists at Bryan meeting. But when these
fellows We're lined up in their respective
companies and under their respective flags,
they were deadly foes and ready to shoot
one another to death. Whenever a squad
of Blues met a squad of Grays, fighting
blood was up in a moment, and old habits
are hard TO break.
Let the old soldiers of both sides meet
and mingie as much as they like, but let
it be as individuals and not as orsaniza-
tions

LEXINGTON, VA. August 16.-Miss
Eliza NJ. Penick. daughter of Rev. D. "A.
Penck, OF Lexington. has received an ap-
pointment to a scholarship in the Peabody
Normal College, at Nashville. Tenn. as
the result of the competitive examination
held at the Lexington Peabody Summer
Normal the latter part of July. These
scholarships are worth 500 per year and
free tuition for two years with expenses
to and from Nashville.
Upon the recommendation Of Superin-
tendent J. S. Saville, of the Rockbridge
schools. the following young ladies of
Lexington have been appointed to the
Farmville Female Normal School: Miss
Susie NJ Wilson. Miss Frances S. White,
and Miss Elmer Crigler.
Considerable interest has been shown
here over the discovery of a bone imbedded
in the fork of tree. A gentleman of
this place purchased of a farmer a wild
cucumber tree, had it cut and hauled to
his home for firewood. While trying to
split a large knot he struck something
in the wood. which, on examination,
proved to be the bone of some animal.
Some persons pronounced 1t the bone OF
a bear which was caught in the fork as
the animal was descending. The bone was
entirely grown over by the wood. The
tree was about sixty feet high. over three
feet across the stump. and the fork in
question was twenty-five feet about
ground. Scientific men examined the bone
and pronounced it the bone of an OK. The
question to be answered is, how did the
bone get in that position?

TIME TO DROP 1T.

The question has arisen in North Caro-
lima politics as to whether or not the negro
question shall be lugged into the Presi-
Dental campaign. The Biblical Recorder,
the organ of the Baptist Church, enters a
vigorous protest against it. In the course
of an editorial on that subject it says:
In these columns the people were as
surei that if the ignorant negroes were
eliminated from the body politics, new and
larger and nobler issues should be freely
discussed and the campaign should be
waged independent of the race issue on the
merits Of records made. measures pro-
POSED and men nominated By every holy
obligation this writer shall strive to make
that assurance sure. He is amazed that
the race issue was SO quickly revived
again, and he can but regard the action
as breach of faith. We warn the Demo-
cratic party that its pledge must be kept.
Never again shall honest issues be con-
fused with the race question. Politicians
and parties unwilling to stand or fall on
their platforms must accept the conse-
auences of their cowardice. The people
have right to think and think they shall
The race issue is dead; it died August 2,
1900. and 1t requires no prophet to write
the epitaph of the politician or the party
that seeks to bring it back into life.
The great objects in eliminating the
negro vote are to prevent corrupt elections
and corrupt government, to prevent trouble
between the races and to enable the whites
to shake off the yoke of bondage and vote
their honest sentiments at the polls If
these objects are not attained In North
Carolina through the adoption of the con-
stitutional amendment, the fight has been
made in vain.
