LOVE-.

Written for The Colored American }
Love, L. an angels dream Of glory,
Love, dear love, The sweet old story,
Told In the days of our tender youth,
Told in the words of eternal truth.
Like glean of sunshine piercing the
gloom,
Like soft silver ray from the bright
full moon,
1t sheds o'er the soul an uDdying light,
And it makes all the world seem glad
and bright.
But woe unto the soul from which love
has fed,
The heart still beats, but it beats like
the dead;
And the world is so dark, and so foil Of
sorrow,
That the spirit recoils from the endless
tomorrow.
The once bright future is now dark
with despair,
For the sweet star OF hope is no longer
there.
We may feel the soft touch of an
angels breath,
But alas tits the angel Of darkness and
death.

POTTER ON THE PHILIPPINES.
The Bishop Hopes for the Best and De-
tends the American Soldier.

Addressing the Loyal Legion Of New
York on Wednesday night Bishop Potter
had this to say about the Philippine prob
lens -
81 am bound to say that shall be con-
strained to disappoint great many people
who suppose that have undergone any
change in my opinions as to the essential
policy of the United States in Difference to
that larger question which lies behind the
ACQUISITION of territory by the United
States. To persistent young woman VINO
endeavored to have me define my attitude
upon this question of expansion | said the
other night, Suppose my son should come
to me and say, "My dear father, am
thinking of marrying a creole woman with
seven small children" l am perfectly
free to say that | should reply to him,
INV son, YOU are an ass But if he had
married creole widow with seven child
rem, should try to behave to him as II l
still sustained some blood relationship to
him.
"Now, in all seriousness, whether We
like it or not, what we have done is to es-
tabsh some such relation as that with the
Philippines, and l should count it ma
tional modification if today we should re-
treat from responsibilities because we find
them difficult. l have not the smallest
doubt that we shall blunder and try again,
and blunder again. That is the history OF
warfare. That is the history of a great
deal of the earliest story of our Civil War,
analogies of which England is having today
in South Africa. But, sooner or later, the
triumph of military genius and of persist
ency will vindicate great cause in great
way, and SO it is for you and me to adj
minister the trust which has come to us
for the well being of a people in whose in
terests it is being administered and the
widening of those great ideas for which our
Republic stands.
"There is no finer type physically in the
world than our men in the Philippines.
Nothing could &c more creditable than
their behavior to women in the streets,
and the impression they make upon
stranger is that they are self-restraining,
self.respecting, loyal sons of the Republic
l hope for myself, audacious as it may
seem, that the military occupation may
for time be continued What the natives
want is the presence of disciplinary rule,
obedience to order, a sense of authority in
intelligent command, and out Of that, just
as in the case of India under the govern
ment of England, believe we shall see in
the Philippine Islands emerging from the
darkness and ignorance Of the past peo'
pie with self.respecting intelligence and
with appreciation of Western ideas and
Western thoughts"

CONFLICTING.

The Richmond Times of the 14th inst.
contained an editorial in which it discussed
the possibility Of weakening the Demo-
cratic party by eliminating the negro vote
in Virginia. The Times quotes from
correspondent Of the Washington Post,
who attended the Democratic convention
at Norfolk, and who said, in speaking of
the opponents of the constitutional con.
vention "They think the Republican
party without the negro will gain large &C
cessions from the respectable white ele-
ment in the State, and thus Democratic
supremacy will be threatened"
After combating these views of the anti
convention Democrats the Times con-
cludes it's editorial remarks thereon with
the following paragraph:
"But the Democratic party need have
no fssr of a rival, if it will only do its duty.
1t has been in power for more than fifteen
years, and it has given the people wise
and honest administration. II now it will
only get rid of the negro vote and purge
itself of election corruption and eschew
bossism, it will be impreguable."
Are not the two statements about the
Virginia Democracy sit has given the
people wise and honest administration"
and. 'if 1t will now get rid of the negro
vote and purge itself of election corruption
and escbew bossism," fearfully inconsls-
tent anil conflicting Can party that is
guilty of election corruption, that has stuff
ed ballot boxes, tempered with registration
and poll books, made false returns hesped

LETTER OF CHRIST FOUND.
Correspondence Between Savior and
King Agrippa Discovered at
Ephesus.

London, May "A remarkable story
comes from a correspondent in Rome,
vino sends fac simle of a DOric inscrip-
lion discovered on the gateway of an old
palace at Ephesus, which discovery was
announced to the Archeolog cal Congress
in Rome 10y Prof. Bohrman, Of Vienna
University.
The inscription is the text Of two let
ters alleged to have passed between King
Agrippa and Christ. The letters are writ
ten il Syro.Chaldac characters and the
one from the King runs as follows -
Il have heard of Thee and the cures
wrought by Thee without herbs or medi'
cines, for it is reported that Thou re.
sto,eth sight to the blind and maketh
the lame to walk, cleanseth the leper,
raiseth the dead, casleth out devils and
unclean spirits and restOreth to health
those tormented with diseases of long
continuance. Hearing all thls of Thee,
am fully persuaded Thou art the very
God come down from heaven to do such
miracles, or that Thou, the Son Of God,
performeth them.
"WhereIore | have sent Thee a few
lines, entreating Thee to come hither and
cure my disease.
Besides, hearing the Jews murmur
against Thee and continue to do Thee
mischief, invite Thee to my city, which
is but little one, but beautiful and suf-
fcient to entertain us both.
Chrst's reply Is thus translated =
blessed art thou, believing Me Whom
thou hast not seen, fo: it is written Of
Me: they that have seen Me shall not
believe Be saved, but concerning the
matter thou hast written about, with
this l acquaint thee, that all things for
which was sent hither must be fulfilled.
Then | shall be taken up and return to
Him, who sent Me; but after My ascen
sion will send one of my Disciples that
shall cure thee of the distemper and
give life to all Of them that are with
thee"
Prof. George X. Murray, Of the British
Museum, when questioned to-day re-
garding the discovery, said "There is
no doubt that the inscription found at
Ephesus Is a genuine production of the
fifth century. Beyond that, nothing
definite can be said except that it is in
The nature of q confederation Of the
Syrian writings Of the second CENTURY,
discovered few years ago, relating to
alleged messages between Christ and
Agrippa.
"The discovery Of the stone inscrip.
ion at Ephesus was made by Pref
Ileberdey, who had charge Of the ex-
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1900-05-10

cavations there on behalf Of the Aus
trian Government. He published the
results Of his work some time ago IN
Vienna.
Certain Syrian documents, dated in
the year 200 A. D., and giving almost
the same letters, have long been suspected
of being literary forgeries The dis
c0Very of the stone tends to relieve this
suspicion and makes it tolerably certain
that, as early AZ the second century,
news of Christs miracles had spread to
the heather countries and that the early
Christians believed that Agrippa asked
Christ to come to hear him and that
Christ replied.
The alleged answer is almost a
paraphrase Of much that is found in the
New Testament. Whether it was act
ualiy sent or was the result Of a con-
tinuing tradition, transferred from
papyrus to stone, is question opening
too wide a field for mere archeolOgist
Many points in Prof Ileberdeys dis
coyery, however, are most important"

and they constitute most sound and valu-
able method of forcing those who permit
lynching to pay with their property for
their failure to discharge their duty as clti-
zens Mob violence by common law can
be assessed on any region which fails to
protect life and property. These laws are
an extension of the same principle and de-
serve general adoption. This State has
none. One should he passed next Winter.
Added to the steady decrease in the num-
Der of persons lynched during the last
eight years, these acts are an important
step in the general movement against
lynching which has been one of the most
encouraging signs in the national life dur
ing the last decade.
Congress ought to DO its share to pro-
vide adequate laws on this subject by pass
ing the act now before the House, which
transfers to the Federal courts the trial of
those in mobs lynchng foreigners resident
in this country protected 10y treaty. The
protection of the civil claims of foreigner
are already committed TO the Federal
courts. BY treaty the United States has
pledged itself to protect aliens; yet, when
any of them have suffered from mobs, and
this has happened repeatedly in the last
half century, the United States is forced to
plead its inability to discharge a clear
treaty obligation by proceeding against
those who composed the mob.
This scandalous neglect of duty ought
not to continue. A Republican House and
Senate should without fail pass the bill
now before them and do their share to-
ward adding to the laws which the last ten
years have seen placed on the statute books
which are designed to reduce mob VIC
lence in this country,
