THE ALLEGED FORGERIES
Electoral Board Will Not Take Ad-
VANTAGE of Their Prcro@ltiye.

The following opinion of the Attorney
General in regard to the Jackson Ward
case has been received by the Electoral
Board but they are unwilling to exercise
the discretion which the Acknowledgement
says they have. preferring TO nave all such
matters determined by the courts:
To the Electoral Board OF the City OF
Richmond:
Gentlemen,-In the matter of the request
of your board as to the power OF said
board to INQUIRE whether or not the
notice of candidates for Office is forged,
am of opinion that it Is competent
for the board to determine whether the
provisions of the law respecting the
notice OF candidacy has been properly
given. or given a all: and, therefore, in
the case in question the board has the
power TO investigate as best 1t can
whether any of said notices are forgeries.
While the board is a ministerial body,
yet all ministerial agents have the right
TO determine whether the occasion as
arisen of te fact has occurred which
have arisen or have occurred as con-
tdition precedent to I:their action. If,
therefore. the notice is alleged to have
been forged, and such allegation is made
known to the board, it is authorized, if
it sees fit to investigate the ruthfulness
Of the allegation: and, if the proof
conciusively shows that such paper is a
hold the name teron from tie original
ballot. Section 6 Of the act says that
the ballot shall only contain the names
of all candidates complying with the
/ provisions as above required. If the
notice be forged, the provisions of the
act are not complied with, ana the
board, in my judgment has, therefore,
the power to determine whether such
notice be q genuine or forged document.
OF course, to justify the Board in de-
claring such notice a forged or fictitious
document, the proof should be SO full
and clear as to make their decision I'M
questioned. Consequently. [ am of opin-
ion that the Board has authority to make
the inve- tigauon in question: but wheth-
er or not it will make such investigation
is purely discretionary and optional with
the Board. 1t has the authority if it
chooses. to exercise it.
Very respectfully.
A. j. MONTAGUE, Att'y-Gen.

"Never Quit Certainty for Hope

There are many things of which we
NAV be absolute certain. For instance,
we know that tire consumes combuseib!e
materials and that water quenches hre.
But how do we know these thlnSsE
First, from the nature of the elements
fire and water, and second, from on
servation and experience.
An intelligent person puts oil into
lamp. feeling absolutely certain it will
burn and give light. He knows this IS
the nature of the oil and this Is what
it has done in all previous experience.
But suppose he poured into the lamp
some other fluid resembling oil in ap-
pearance. but of the nature OF which
he had no knowledge. There would be
no certainty about the results and they
might be disastrous and even fatal.
The argument is precisely the same in
regard TO medicines. Every intelligent
reader knows that Hoods Sarsapariiia
cures rheuma tism or dyspepsia, scrofula
or catarrll. How does he know this?
Exactly the same as in the liiustra-
tons He knows the nature OF the
nedicine-its ingredients and their quail
ties have been described and explained. IN
print over and over again. Then ne
knows. that in actual experience Hoods
Sarsaparilla does cure these diseases. He
therefore takes this medicine with per-
feet confidence and derives from It the
DGnSnC desired dllG cApSteSu.
But suppose the druggist offers to give
YOU instead of Hoods Sarsaparilla a
bottle of his own preparation. You
have never heard of it before. You know
nothing of its nature or effects. True,
it may be cheaper, as water is cheaper
than oil, but what you want, If you have
scrofula. catarrh, rheumatism, dyspepsia,
Is a medicine that IS certain TO cure.
Tais is perfectly sound and fair reason
ing. and we think ii should be given
honest and conscientious consideration
The proprietors of Hoods Sarsapariila
have a medicine which is uneaualled in its
record of cures and in its intrinsic power
to cure The testimonials OF those who
have taken ii must convince you of this:
now try for yourseif- For the sake O
Justice. and for your own good. see that

WAS misunderstood
Utterance of School Teacher Caused
Some Comment

A discussion in a recent Sons of Vete-
rams meeting, anent the teaching of civil
war history in one of the city schools,
having reached the attention of the
public the Sons wish to state
that the views expressed at that meet
ing were based upon misunderstand-
ing OF the teachers point of view.
Subsequent information shows that the
language quoted was correct, excepting
the eulogy on John Brown, but the
teachers. idea in propounding the ques-
lions was wrongly interpreted.
The misunderstanding arose simply
from the teachers conscientious effort
to present with perfect fairness ques-
tons which all Southern young people
are apt to view one-sidedly.
The Sons are credibly informed that
this teachers loyalty to the South is
as genuine as that of any in our South
land, and they hope that this explana-
ton will correct any erroneous impress
sions which may have been left on the
public mind.
