APPEAL OF KENTUCKY REPUBLICANS.
Philadelphia Press. ]

Philadelphia Press.
The appeal Of the Kentucky Repubh-
cans to Congress to take into consider
alton the situation in that and other
Southern States deserves careful and
considerable treatment. The plan is to
call a convention of all the States in the
South in which elections have become
farce and large percentage of the vot-
ers are DISTINGUISHED, and memOralize
Congress and urge it to take the election
of Congressman and Presidential electors
out of the hands of State officials and
place it in the hands of the General
Government
This would compel the reenactment of
the old apprenticeship law or some such
law as was embodied in the terms of the
"force" bill of 1890. 1t is doubtful if
any such measure can pass. 1t would
arouse a bitter discussion and awaken
again animosities which have largely
subsidized. There is division in the Re-
publican party as TO the propriety of
such measure and the Democratic par
ty would be arrayed solidy against it.
Nothing would probably be gained by
such a course and much harm might be
done.
But that the present situation can be
allowed to continue it is impossible to
think. 1t is too monstrously unjust.
The Southern white Democrats cannot
be permitted to continue their disfran-
chisement of voters and at the same
time be allowed to exercise the political
rights of the DISTINGUISHED. That is pay

The Democrats are very much disturbed
about the way the Republicans Will solve
the problem of treating our new posses
siors. Let them be not disturbed. The
Republican party has often been confront
ed with questions equally as momentous,
and has always measured up to the occa-
sion.

MODERN VIRGINIA CRAFTSMANSHIP

Virginia has long since ceased to be
the "Mother of States" but she can yet
proudly proclaim herself the Mother Of
Statesmen. 1t is true that we no longer
produce such men as Jefferson, Madison,
Monroe, Marshall, Mason and Hunter,
but new variety has sprung up, variety
that is likely to make our State noto-
rious, if not famous. 1t is the product
of the machine that now runs things,
and is greatly satisfied with itself, if its
calibre is small.
sample Of the length and breadth
of this modern Virginia craftsmanship
was displayed by Congressman Peter
Otey, of the Sixth District, in speech
on the Porto Rican tariff bill, made on
the 2Sth ult.-a speech which the press
reporters pronounced one of the most
humorous speeches that has ever been
heard in the halls of Congress.
A careful perusal of Major Otey S speech
will convince any one that he is a pro-
found thinker on all economic questions,
ard has dired to the bottom of the tar
III question. His speech was made up Of
three stale, very stale, anecdotes and
lot of buncombe that wonld reflect great
credit upon the funny man of village
debating society, the end man Of the or
binary minstrel show, Or the painted jes-
terof the old time circus

We have saved many doctor bills since
we began using Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in our home. We keep a bottle
open all tie time and whenever any of
my family or myself begin to catch cold
we begin to use the Cough Remedy, and
as result we never have to send away
for doctor and incur large doctor bill,
for Chamberains Cough Remedy never
fails to cure. 1t is certainly medicine of
great merit and worth.-D. S. MEARKLE,

Pathetic Incident of Boer war.

Pathetic Incident of Boer War.
A bit of pathos in the stern circum-
stances Of war Is described in a letter
from an English nurse serving in the
military hospital at Ladysmith. She
writes: "a touching scene happened
yesterday. One of the Gordous had
his arm amputated. A Boer in the
next bed had his arm taken off in ex-
actly the same place. l took charge Of
the latter as he was brought from the
theater, and on his becoming con-
sclous the two poor fellows eyed each
other very much, till our good-natured
Tommy could bear it no longer Sis
ter he called, give him two cigarettes
cut of my box, and tell him / sent
them. Here is q match; light one for
him I took the cigarettes and the
message to the Boer, and he turned
and looked at Tommy in amazement,
and then, quite overcome, he burst
into tears. Tommy did the same, and
I am afraid was on the point of join
ing in the chorus, but time would not
permit."-Cincinnati Enquirer.

THE Fredericksburg Free Lance is afraid
that the pubic declarations of Senator
1illman, with regard to the manner in
which the negro vote is suppressed in
South Carolina, will be damaging to the
Democratic party. Tillman, however,
tells the truth in his own brutal way, While
other Democrats in Congress suppress the
truth as to the methods employed in most
of the Southern States for the suppression
of not only the negro vote but the white
vote.

ing man for committing a crime. This
Acknowledgement was begun in the Gulf
States where the colored voters are in a
majority and it was justified Oh the plea
that civilization must be saved. But tie
same policy of Acknowledgement is being
exercised to-day against the white Re
publicans of Kentucky as was begun
against the colored voters of South Caro-
lima, and no justiHing plea can be made
In Kentucky a Democratic State
Board Of Elections has assumed all pow
ers of throwing out votes and electing
whom it chooses. A law equally as in
famous is in force in Virginia. The
Missouri Legislature has passed SINH
lar law to suppress the Republican vote
in the city of st. Louis. A proposition
to the same end has been made IN the
Maryland Legislature, and North Caro-
lima will vote on an amendment to lts
Constitution in August the purpose OF
which is to make and keep the State
Democratic. The colonel Republican
has been driven from the polls. Sena-
tor Illman told how it had been done.
The plan now is to pass laws making
it impossible for the white Republicans
to elect any one.
The best remedy for the situation Is
to arouse public sentiment TO the gravity
Of the situation. There is no better way
to DO this than by calling a convention
of the Republicans in the Southern
States and memorializing Congress Oh
the subject. The suggestion made by
the Kentucky Republicans is a good one
and should be carried out

married to the thirty-sixth. He was

Chattanooga, Tenn, August T.-The Chattanooga News today received letter from Hon. Thomas Taggart, Mayor of In dianapolis, Ind, in which he says:
 "The political situation in the middle West Is very bright, particularly in In diana, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota and Wis consin. The condition in our State at this time never looked brighter for political victory in the past ten years. The Democ- racy are united to a man; nine-tenths of the Gold Democrats who voted for Me Kinley in 1896 are with us this year. and we have large number of allies from the people who are opposed to imperialism. From the best information that l can gather Kentucky Is reliably Democratic this year, The National Committee, located in Chicago.
