as follows concerning the social side of

The author of Lorna Doone" and
other less famous books, Richard
Doddridge Blackmore, died last week
IN England, at the age of seventy
FIVE.
The manuscript of Lorna Doone"
was offered to eighteen publishers
and refused. The nineteenth accept.
ed it, and it was published in 1859.
Many editions of this now famous
classic have since been issued. His
other novels never achieved the sue.

they have had large sales.

Senator Ross Speech.

From an occasional Correspondent
The speech which Senator Ross de
livered IN the Senate Tuesday on the
subject OF our island possessions is
already attracting much attention
here. 1t is being commented upon
very freely among congressman, cab
met officials, and all men high in pub
lie life. Many of them do not hesitate
to say that it is the best treatment
OF the subject they have yet seen.
The great portion of the speech
and that portion which is attracting
the greatest amount of attention is
devoted to the constitutional aspect
Of the question. Mr.. Ross, after a
very exhaustive study of all treaties
by which the United States has ac-
CURED territories, of all Supreme
Court decisions bearing upon the
subject, and of the constitution itself.
concludes that the constitution does
not OF its own vigor, unaided by act
OF Congress, extend over the terri
tories. This view is some what novel
and although it has been suggested
yet it has never before been worked
out with any fulness. If the conten-
ton of Mr.. Ross can be sustained
and there seems to be no reason WHY
1t should not be, it will answer m any
perplexlng questions as to how this
country is to govern the recently &C.
CURED territorial possessions. That
the inhabitants of these territories.
differing from American citizens in so
many respects, should be granted all
the rights, privileges, and immunities
secured by the constitution to citi-
zens OF this country, seems anything
but practicable. But under Mr..
Ross exposition of the subject Con.
gress can govern territories as she
sees mt, unrestrained by the consti-
tuition. That of course does not
mean that the territories are to be
oppressed or in any way denied fitting
rights. 1t simply means that if our
constitutional government is not
applicable to the territories. Con.
gress may give them such govern
ment as is applicable. Mr.. Ross
thinks that there is no country in
the world as well able to exercise
government as the United States
that Congress will give the inhabi.
tants OF the territories the best gov.
eminent possible, under which thew
Will gradually advance in civilization
until finally they shall be competent
to enjoy all the rights, privileges, and
advantages secured to American citi-
zens under the constitution, or to in
tell'gently form stable government

Both the Vermont representatives
spoke in the House last week against
the seating Of Roberts of Utah.
Judge Powers speech was in reply to
Congressman Little6eld and he took
strong grounds that he should be ex-
cluded rather than admitted as
member and then expelled. Gen.
Grout took the same ground, citing
the presidents in the House in the
past, and citing past addresses of
the polygamist by which, said Gen.
Grout, "out of his own mouth Brig.
ham H. Roberts stands convicted of
being not only polygamist, but of
being a hypocrite and a fraud"

EXCITING
EXPERIENCE
OF DR.. P. D. Bray in South
Africa.
CAPTURED BY THE BOER FORCES
And Kept in Prison Tor More Than
Two Months His Horse Shot
from Under Him During the Am
bush at Sannas Post.

A Columbia friend OF DR.. 2. ID.
Bray, formerly of this place. who Is
now a captain IN the British army,
is IN receipt OF letter written by
him IN Boer prison at Pretoria,
where he was a captive for more
than two months.
Capt. Bray Is on the staff of Ger i.
Broadwood, and was with the convoy
that was ambushed at Sannas Post
on the 3lst of March, when so many
British were killed and captured.
His horse was ahot from under him
when he was within fifty yards of
the enemy. and he wrenched his
ankle in falling. He tried to hobble
after his retreating regiment, but
soon bad to give Ii up, and then
crawled along until he found him
self under a cross fire or Boer and
British, when he had to lie fiat. as
raising himself meant death from
either friend or foe. He bad lost bis
helmet. and lay In the blazing sun
with the wounded and dying around
him. After what seemed hours to
him. but which was probably only
an hour, some Beers galloped up and
carried him off Just month after
this letter was written, the British
soldiers were released, so that Capt.
Bray is again with his regiment.

CHIEF JUSTICE SNoDGRAss, of
Tennessee, ID candidate for the
United States Senate. Now don't
say he 10 not, for he Is; and 1t makes
him mad for anybody to doubt 1t.
Some of the general public thought
that the sensible thing for the Judge
to do, after that both the State and
National Conventions had declared
against his views, was to withdraw
from thu race; and acting upon the
violent presumption that the Judge
would do the sensible thing, they
began to say that he would resign.
They didn't mean to speak by the
card, or to belittle the candidacy of
the gentleman who up to date has
not blacked the board; they were
| just talking, like folks will talk.
But the Judge totes pistols and l.
terrible fiery, 90 he got mad some
more and said .these stories are
noated upon the July breezes In the
interest of my opponent" The
trouble with the Judge 10 that he
has an hallucinatioG that he'is quite
q large pebble on the beach, and
that the times are out of joint just
to spite him. He does not believe
| In the sincerity of the Kansas City
platform AZ All. but thinks the anti
limperialistic plank was put In just
to spite him. The Tennessee Demo
cratic platform he mas characterized
as 1.-THE mad delirinm OF the mid
night hour" or words to that effect
aud he Is positive that the Conven.
tion got on the jag in the interest Of
his opponent" Another trouble
with the Judge IL his lamentabls
lack OF discrimination. A man may
be a candidate, and vet not in thu
race. The Judge cannot see that.

IT begins to look as If the jingoes
would be disappointed. The we'll
authenticated massacres In China
are not SO we'll authenticated as they
were. Our Washington snecial
states that all the foreign ministers,
instead of being massacred and fed
to the dogs as the yellow journals
had 1t, have been under the special
protection of the Chinese govern
ment, and are now to be delivered
safely under escort to the powers at
Tien Tsin. So the wicked, heather
Chinese may have been more sinned
against than SHINING, after all. The
difference between the Chinese
government and this one seems to
be this. When a Chinese mob
wanted to murder an American citi-
zen. they were not allowed to do 1t.
When an American mob wanted to
murder an American citizen at
Huntsville, Ala, they were allowed
to do 1t. II the Chinese mob had
succeeded. they would have paid
dearly for it. The Huntsville mob
did succeed, and though 1t was done
In broad day light and unmarked,
not only will the murderers go
unwhipped OF justice, but their
leaders will pose as brave defenders
Of virtue; when its dollars to dough-
nuts, there was not sober. virtuous
man In the crowd. Really, we
should keep our christian mission
aries at home uutil we can better
spare Them ,S

TT the Chinese government is to
pay indemnity to the Powers for the
value of their property destroyed by
the Boxers, who is to pay the
Chinese government for the killing
Of the Chinese on their native soil
and the destruction OF property at
the taking of Tien Tsin? The
Chinese officials protested all along
that all the foreigners were safe and
would be protected, but the Powers
preferred to believe that the Chinese
were lying. Som this superstition
they attacked the Chinese city and
captured It, after killing several
hnndred resident citizens and de-
stroying many thousand dollars
worth OF property. Now It goes
without saying. that somebody
should pay for this; aud II an i'm
partial commission could be found,
who would give China anything like
a fair show, the indemnity they re-
ceive would exceed the amount they
should pay out.

THE COUNTY ELECTION.

Next Thursday Is the day appoint
ed by Law for the election of certain
county officers. As the time APP
proaches the interest naturally In
creases; but may we not hope that
the bolsterous buster of other days
may not occur.
This election so far has been singu-
larry Well conducted. There has
been less disturbance to business.
less vituperatlon and personal abuse,
less mud Singing, less money spend
Ing and whisky drinking. In short,
more gentlemanly department. upon
the part of the candidates and their
election than ever before, perhaps.
Keep itup, gentlemen. Be gentle
men In public as we'll as private life.
Mud Singing Is ungentlemanly, dis
gnsting and Improbable. Remem-
Der that bribe giver il as guilty as
a bride taker; don't belittle yourself
orbesmirch the character of another,
by the use of money; don't debauch
yourself or another by the use OF
whisky. Ii you are elected, let 1t be
without the faint of dishonor to your
character. II you are defeated, let
1t be without the loss of your own
self-respect or the esteem of your
fellows.
That Is the way elections should
be lost and won In this good county
of Maury. and we are glad to see .he
trend of public sentiment that
way. II there develops next week
any disposition to go back to the old
rowdy, dlsreputable way, il should
be rebuked. Vote against bribery
vote against corruption, vote agains
whisky every chance you get. Vote
for honest, capable men, and homes
clean methods, so that politics may
| be put upon higher plane, and pub
lie men encouraged to o higher liv
Ing.
