Hardly Mistaken.

Recently Col. Phil Thompson, OF
Kentucky, and Senator Stewart, OF
Nevada, were the centre ola group CT
statesmen in Washington hotel
lobby. Senator Stewart remarked
that the root of all bribery was the
trusts, but that despite the efforts OF
the monopolies to obtain influence in
the United States Senate they had
ever failed to dominate any action OF
that body. Colonel Thompson, with
a SLY wink at those present, at once
engaged with the venerable legislator
and intimated that the Senate could
be bribed as easily as any body of city
conncilmen. Thc Senator became
thoroughly warmed up and said in q
combative tone:
"Do you mean to even intimate
that the United States Senate could
be purchased? Why, sir, you nigh,

DIR. j. j. LAFFERTY ON THE
PHILIPPINE QUESTION.

DIR. j. j. Lafferty, editor of>the
Richmond Christian Adrocate, writes
on this snbject in his wonted biting,
versatile style:
GA commission of wise men were
sent to the Philippines to learn and
suggest the best government for the
people. These scholars and states
men let us know that the population
of the largest island, of which the
city of Manila is the capital, have
intelligence, decency and many fine
qualities; that there are thousands of
refined and cultivated citizens, quite
a number educated in Europe-ju-
rlsts, scholars, authors, physicians,
statesmen, merchants, up-to-date
people. One correspondent reported
that the latest magazines were seen
in their libraries.
"Shall such people have control of
their country? Neither the Presi-
dent nor Congress dream of allowing
this nation to manage its own polit-
ical affairs.
"Contrast the Congo slaves of the
South, barely a generation or two
from cannabalism (for living Vir-
ginian relates that certain ancient
negroes, early importations, used to
smack their lips when they passed by
a fat black baby with these brave,
patriotic, intelligent men who drove
a Spanish army from their country
and cooped it up in Manila, who es.
tabllshed government, with Con-
gress, Cabinet, Court, and War De.
partment, ammunition factories, who
have fought our force of sixty to
seventy thousand for year OF more.
"rhese plantation negroes, with
the mud of the rice swamps vet upon
their "ebon shins and gizzard feet"
were made the rulers over the culture,
wealth and civilization of many COM
monwealths! The DEGREES of Con-
gress for the government Of Luzon
by a semi-military arrangement is
an indictment of the "Reconstruc-
tion Era" and confession before the
world of an infamy never paralleled
in modern centuries. How can the
brilliant men of letters, the wealthy
citizens, the refined classes of Manila
be turned over to the rule of the BAY
onet, while the low grade Africans
of the Atlantic Coast hold the .sbal-
ance of power" in the grea Estates. Is
there not enough political honesty
in Congress and the President to saw
that negro suffrage is crime against
Anglo-Saxou civilization ? This
wrong has been a national curse.
Poor old Sherman gnashed his tooth
less gums and blasphemed because
rotten-beef Alger bought the negro
delegates to the Republican National
Convention whom Sherman had paid
for months before. So job-lot Of
yenal slaves, sold and re-sold, deter
mined the Chief Magistrate of this
Republic.
"The fifteenth amendment ought
to suffer the fate of the jackson res-
olntion in the United States Senate

gram of heavy pen marks drawn

Fredericksburg Relics.

various kinds, has secured an old and
odd rifle which is an object of Curl
osity to those who take an interest
in firearms. 1t is a revolving rifle,
very heavy, and those who have ex-
amined it think it was at one time
used by Indians. The Captain has
recently had several old aspen and
cedar trees cut down on the heights
at Brompton. These trees stood in
the thick of the firing Curing the
charging of the stonewall at the foot
of Marye's Heights in the battle of

split up, large number of bullets
were found imbedded in the wood.
which form valuable relics of the
