REV. JOHN JASPER DE AID.

Rev. John Jasper, Richmond's well
known old negro preacher OF '.de sun
do move" fame, is dead, aged 80 years.
Several years ago he came into notori-
ETY. by preaching sermon in which
he contended that the world is fiat
and the sun and not the earth moves.
This sermon he has preached many
times since by special request and
many of the most noted persons in
the country have heard il. Contrary to
what most people supposed Rev. John
Jasper was not the ignorant man his
famous sermon would seem to indi-
did him some dissredit no doubt.
The Newport News Herald refers to
him as worthy old man" and says
this of him:
Although illiterate, he was not
ignorant or uneducated. There is
often a misconception as to what con-
stitutes education. 1t is not book
learning. merely, although many of
the most important facts man can
know are treated Of in books
Rev. John Jasper was not the isnor-
ant and noisy pounding negro preacher
merely that the one famous sermon
he preached frequently indicated. He
had a strong mind naturally, which,
improved by experience and observa-
ton and guided by kindly heart,
placed him in position of immense
influence among the negroes and
gained the respect of the white PEG.

THIS paper had little sympathy
with the impeachment proceedings
against Judges Furches and Douglas.
That they have been guilty OF wrong
doing we did not question, but that
their conduct was deserving OF the
punishment prescribed we did not
believe as we understood it. Those
judges have not kept strictly in the
middle Of the road ii is true-may be
they have done some things that
might be characterized as high handed
and perhaps it was well to call them
to account in the manner they were.
And SO we shall not say the trial was
in vain however unfortunate and re-
gretable the whole occurrence and
the necessity of it. We are glad il is
over and glad that it ended as it did.
The verdict we believe gives satisfac-
ton to a majority Of the people and
in it the State and the Democracy arc
as much to be congratulated as are

From the moment Manila fell,
and the Spaniards were driven out of
the Islands, declares Mr.. Welsh,
"Aguinaldo had become as fatal al
en- barrassment to the Administra-
tion's ambitions as was Duncan to
those of Macbeth" What happened
is now a matter of history. After the
fall OF Manila the Filipinos were
virtually told that their aspirations
for independence and self-government
were to be ignored On December
q, 1898, several weeks before the
treaty with spain was ratified by the
Senate, President Mckinley issued his
proclamation declaring American SOW
ereignty over the Islands. On Feb
ruary /, 1899, fighting began between
the Filipinos and the American troops.
On the following day Aguinaldo sent
an officer with flag of truce and
offered to restore peace. General
Otis replied that the war had begun
and must go on to the grim end. MIR.
| Welsh and Senator Hoar declare that
the WetnpdS ny which INC CHlteu

on facts that can be proved, Aguin-
aldo is not the base adventurer and
intriguer that he is represented to be

expansion by conquest. The man
who loses rarely has justice done to
his motives. If Aguinaldo had won,
there is no doubt as to what would

MEMORIAL RESOLUTIONS
of the G. c. BIackna.I Chapter, u. ID. G.,
at the Death of General Cheek.

1t is with profound sorrow that this
Chapter, Of which General Cheek was an
honorary member, hears of the death Gf
that brilliant Southern officer.
Courteous, modest. brave, to our minds
he was the ideal Confederate officer and
the ideal Southern gentleman. And
than these this world has seen no higher
types OF manhood. Foremost on u hun
drpd fields, with honOrs enough to equip
a dozen heroes. he wore them all lightly
as n flower FIRST in the charge. last In

ing death at every turn, and beating
it aside by sheer dint of stout heart and
ready blade. this man was veteran IN
deed.
1t was such men as this that made the
Grey uniform and the Starry Cross the
eternal symbols OF valOr and devotion
that they are. 1t was the gallant deeds
of such chivairous, such dauntless hearts
as his that sanctiiied Southern defeat
and glOrified Southern failure. 1t is
owing to such high example as this that
the war for Southern Independence is
worth ali the blood, and blighted lives
and broken hearts that it cost For to
this lofty standard of valor, patriotism
and devotion. all future manhood must
rise or BIZ found wanting.
We esteem it an honor to Vance county

FOR VOTING THE DEMOCRATIC
TICKET,

The Supreme Court has decided. in
the case of colored man in Vance
county. that it is not a violation of
law to turn man out of the church
for voting the Democratic ticket.
The Supreme Court, pending the i'm
parchment trial, consists of only
three justices MONTGOMERY
and Cook. While it might have been
expected, from one viewpoint, that
Montgomery PopulisD and Cook
(Republican) would hold that almost
anything might be done to a person
who votes the Democratic ticket. it is
astonishing that the immaculate
Judge Clark, who now poses as a very
Jealous Democrat. would allow such
a decision to pass without filing a dis
sent. Ii the Legislature meets again
in April we shall ask that articles OF
impeachment be preferred against
him. Again it may be asked also, if
man may be turned out of church
for voting the Democratic ticket,
what should be done to him if he
votes the Populist or Republican

LYNCH LAW AND THE REMEDY

The frequency of lynchings in the
North has started the bright minds
up in those regions to discussing
remedy for lynch law.
Judge Baldwin, member of the
Supreme Court of Connecticut, gives
his idea in the New York Tribune, and
other distinguished jurists are taking
a hand in the discussion.
Judge Baldwin's idea is that lynch
ings express discomfort with INSULT
cent remedies for evils under the
law. Therefore, the law ought to
provide response to this expression
of sentiment SO that aggravated
offenses committed by physical force
may be punished by exertion of physi-
cal force that causes pain. He would,
therefore, introduce forms of corporal
punishment.
This, he. thinks, may be accom-
plished by restoration of the whipping
post for one thing. for part punish
ment, but he would not have it pub
lie post or in the Jail yard or town
square. To the objection that inflic-
ton of such punishment is cruel, he
replies that the cruelty is in the pain
inflicted only. The use of the whip
applied lawfully and in private would,
in his opinion, largely check offend
ing, and stay the drift towards greater
crimes. such as bring about retribu-
tive justice of lynch law.
The ravisher is brutal; his punish
ment should be severe, so severe as
to be deterrent. The law which for
bids the woman's relatives from in
ficting the punishment ought to pro-
vide retributive punishment of some
order.
Judge Baldwin doesn't tell US what
he would regard as punishment sufli-
he evidently thinks the Connecticut
law which provides only for imprison-
ment is not severe enough.
Judge GRAY of the Court of Appeals
OF New York replies to his brother
jurist, that society cannot afford to
return to barbarous forms of punish
ment. They do not accord with en-
lightened ideas of government. 1.-THE
duty Of obedience of law, regard for
the reputation of the community,
love of country and it's good name,
shame and fear, are not sufficient to
deter, no severe punishment provided
by law. however retributive, will
avail to check the evil-doer. He sees
no way of counteracting by legisla-
ton the force that moves Infatuated
men to take the law into their own
hands to deal out immediate and Sc
we're punishment. Whatever is accom-
pliShed in that direction must arise
out of force of public opinion and i'm
proved public sentiment.
Judge David Turrance of the Su-
preme Court of Connecticut opposes
Judge Baldwin's suggestion. He
does not believe that the use of the
whip would lessen the number OF
crimes and the number of lynchings.
Judging by the past experience
of the country, he sees no reason for
believing that whipping would give
any better results than the methods
the laws now provide.
Neither of these gentlemen hit the
mark. Nearly all the States have
enough law and ample penalties to
punish all the crimes known TO the
annals without calling in the aid OF
Judge Lynch." The trouble is,
and always has been, the laws delay.
Ample provision for the quick pun
ishment of those guilty of heinoul
crimes will do away with lynch law
more readily than will new laws and
new penalties.-Newport News Her.
