rallied to his support when they learn.
ed that he had been arrested at Ocean
Oity, N. J. on the charge Of obtaining
property under false pretenses from Miss
CLARA Somers, Ocean Grove. N. j.
Many expressions of sympathy were
heard for the accused evangelist, and
especially were his women friends
emphatic in his defense and in their
belief that he will be able to come out
from the charges with flying colors.
One of DR. Wharton's favorite objects
Of attack was the Roman Catholic
Church, and he was ever ready to
launch a shaft at the hierarchy. Just

is st. Plus Catholic Church, and,
curiously enough a member Of the

took a mortgage Of $i5 900 on the
church as part of his payment. The
property cost So. 900. including the
lot, and almost the whole Of the amount
paid for it was, il is said. raised by

THE meeting OF representative col

THE meeting or representative col
ored citizens of Virginia, to be held
shortly at Charlottesville. has caused
some interest to be aroused among
the politicians of the State. The FREE
LANCE has not anticipated that any
thing more than formal resolutions
of protest would be promulgated, and
we are now assured by prominent
colored leader of one of the Districts
that in all likelihood nothing more
than quiet protest against the suf-
frsge clause of the proposed new
Constitution and prayer to the Dem.

what might be expected at 1rst

races that it would not be well for the
negro in this State to become the
thorn that he has down in our border
State, and that the present is timely
one to take the matter up and let the
parting be with a measure of friend

man is quietly dropped now from our
politics "the niger in the wood
pile" will not appear so dire

Republican leaders believe that the
Democrats of the State will soon be-
gin to wrsngle among themselves it
being predicted that within short
while the whites will be pretty well
lined up on both sides of the leading
political parties. In the general muss
the negro expects to get justice, and
possibly few more crumbs than he
is now receiving. There is little doubt
that national leaders of his party
view the elimination of the negro
from politics in the South with evil
dent unconcern, and possibly secret
satisfaction.

WHEN an editorial in this paper

cit Is learned upon pretty good au.

The FREE LANCE anticipated this
report, and our suggestion may have
been its incipiency. We simply
credited the Republican party with
possessing the acumen to do
what it ought to do. We re-
peat, that there is no hope of
carrying Virginia for Mckinley and
Roosevelt, but there is favorable OPP
portunity Cor breaking into the solid
Democratic Congressional delegation
from this State. We believe the Re-
publican party has little fears of the
loss of their Presidential ticket,
but is badly scared as to the pros
poets for holding the lower House of
Congress. Without this the party
cannot hope to continue its expansion
policy, or even have ratified much al
ready done in that direction. 1t is
equally true that the Democrats, In
winning the lower House, will score
