The Washington Post was recently
stirred because of the brutality of a fu-
neral sermon" 1t was preached by a
Chattanooga minister, who, telling the
truth concerning the dead, wounded
the living. The safe course to pursue
Is not to preach funeral sermons. Read
the church burial service and quit.
Dr. Hoge occupied the same pulpit for
"a years, and never preached funeral
sermon. There were times when it
would have been profitable, but others
when it would have been only painful.

FRIDAY, MAY II, 1900.
FROM POLITICIANS TO People.

Or if it would be more acceptable to
the members Of the late convention,
we will write il, From Statesmen to
SOvereigns. The convention did its
work wisely and well, fearlessly and
faithfully, and now the burden is shift
ed to the shoulders of the people.
We are fully persuaded in our own
mind that they will not shirk the duty.
They have suffered patiently and are
ready to act vigorously and with cour-
age. The machinery Of our State gov
eminent is too complex and too costly.
Sister States of larger population and
larger wealth are content with much
less Of public burden, and it is time
the old mother was relieved too.
And, then, the commonwealth must
be protected against ignorance and
passion. To do this eflectually rev0lu-
ton itself would be in order but the
peaceful method is the better and this
will be adopted.
The threat that the supreme court at
Washington will prevent this relief
scares no true Virginian from the line
of duty. The men who followed the
immortal Lee are not made of stuff
like that. True they are sick of strife
and earnestly desire peace, but loyalty
to good order at home doesn't mean
war against the general govern nent or
any part thereof. Good men the cOun-
try over know this, and cannot be made
to condemn brothers who love home
and tireside. We have nothing to fear,
but solemn duty to perform.
Nor does it mean that the white men
of Virginia are enemies of the negroes
of Virginia. What they purpose doing
is for the highest good of all who claim
Virginia as home. The child may fret
because the mother will not allow it to |
play with raz0rs, but the mother re- /
strains in love. Ours is gOOdly heri- |
tage and we are in honor bound to /
guard it well. Ours to enjoy while we
live, and ours to give over to those who /
are to come after us unsullied. There
Is but one side to the convention ques-
ton and all VirginiaDs will be found

WASHINGTON, May 7, 1900.
Senator Morgan Is working faithfully
to try to upset the administration
programme Of hanging up i'm the
Senate, the Nicaragua Canal bill, which
passed the House with only handful
OF adverse votes. He fully realizes the
difficulties of the task, but is confident
that there are enough Republicans in
the Senate who believe with the Demo-
clats in an American Canal. to bring
success. Time will soon tell, but as
Senator Tillman said short time ago
the Republican party has the best
organization any party has ever had
in Congress, and although there are al
times spluttering and kicking, i'm the
end the orders Of the boss are usually
carried out to the letter. In this case.
the order is to hang up the Nicaragua
Canal Bill. a Senator who wishes
Senator Morgan success, but whose
name is not given, is quoted by a local
paper as having said: 81 am aware
and so is everybody else who has given

hope of preventing the contamination

a good many severe criticisms are
passed by our preachers on Lyman
Abbott, and no doubt most of them
are deserved, but who can find fault
with this: Salvation is character.
Nothing much depends on where we
are, everything on what we are.D And
with this, speaking Of the SAVIOUR, he
said: "There was no sin that could
separate men from his sympathies.

other men would not touch except in

We have always had horror at the
thought of prison life in Siberia, but
now we are told that it is rather above
the average of prison life in other
lands, and that pension of So a month
is given to the family Of each prisoner,
ana that when discharged from prison
the unfortunate is assisted by the gov
eminent to a home and implements

Gently to a reporter Of the Washington
Post! "In 1896 every member Of the
