the Presbyterian churches Of Louisville
have been holding ''Sunrise prayer
meetings, and that these meetings
were opened at eight O'Clock, and were

inkling OF the origin Of the error
Sunrise In LouisYille Is never later

q large part of the year it is earlier
than six. But those worthy gentlemen
have construed sunrise to be never ear
lier than eight O'Clock. Of course by
equally accurate reasoning they have put
the first day Of the Twentieth century
Just one year later than the day on
which 1t really came.

the number Of fraudulent ballots cast

Senator Chandler Out.

Judge Henry E. Burnham last week
won the nomination Of the Republican
members Of the New Hampshire Legis-
lature for United States Senator over
Senator William E. Chandler. Chandler
received AZ votes Burnham. 1893. Mr..
Ohandler's term Of Office will expire
March next.
Senator Ohandler's defeat probably
closes for good national political Ca
reer that has been full Of storm and
stress and has furnished many piotur-
etque episodes. he was opposed by men
in his party. who objected TO his pro-
silver views, his criticism at times Of
the administration, and In addition
was antagonizsd by those who thought
that he had been Senator long enough.
Railroad interests inI New Hampshire
were also against him.
He was the secretary Of the Republi'
can National Committee in 1876, and to
his activity in the early morning hours
after the election was attributed the
contest which resulted In the seating
OF Hayes by the Electoral Commission
Although he came perilously near IT,,
he never broke away from party lines.
He fought the administration over
silver and On questions of policy before
and after the Spanish war.
As chairman Of the Committee on
Privileges and Elections he pursued
William A. Clarke. of Montana. with
bitterness and won the enmity OF that
man. To Olark's influence Chandler
has been ascribipg the opposition 10
him that has manifested itself in the
New Hampshire Legislature so fatally
to his ambitions
OF Mr.. Ohandler's defeat the Wash
ington Post says:
"Is is doubtless true that be owei
his present defeat to his sturdy antago
nism Of the corporations which have
become dominent forces in directing
the public affairs Of state and nation
This episode. indeed, illustrates thu
trend Of public events. The man wht
has refused to be subservient to th'
great aggregations Of capital. and es
pecially the railroad dictator in hi
State, is sacrificed. The Senate.and th'
country lose when Mr.. Chandler lay
down his commission and retires Il

FREDERICKSBURG SATURDAY. JANUARY 49, 1901
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
Features OF the Discussion Of the Reap

Mr.. W ilson, Of South Carolina. spok
in favor OF the BuTliegh bill and Incl
dentally discussed the negro question
in the nth. He detailed the lavish
expenditure and missppropriation dur
ing the period Of the negro rule in
South Carolina The worthy and indus.
trious negro population, he said, was
being educated and cared for In the
South, and IL was only against th
criminal olass--those guilty Of an atro-e
oIous crime against women. that lynch.
ing was necessary.
Mr.. Pearson, Of North Carolina, sup.
ported the Burleigh bill, and argued
against the Orumpacker bill, as the
latter would be so carried out In the
South as to wipe ont the few Republi-
can members now coming from that
section. He asserted that tho time was
fast coming when the Acknowledgement
prActIced in the South would be wiped
out
THE NEGRO CONGRESSMAN.
White, Of North Carolina. the only
colored man In the House. created
something of sensation by fiery speech
Of five minutes. denouncing the tradu-
GERS of his race He had tried to obtain
an opportunity to be heard during the
general debate, he said, but 1t had been
denied him. He was, he said, the rep
resentasive Of one. eighth Of the popula-
ton Of the country. Of a race that had
been grossly misrepresented and mslign-
ed by three members Of the House
during the debate. He was glad, how
ever. that the idle and slanderous
words had come from. young men.
against whom, 'the statue OF youth
could be pleaded. 4" They will know
better when they grow older He said
he would take occasion little later, In
a speech which would. perhaps, be bis
valedicsory, to defend the men of bis
race, who were no less American citi'
zsns than those Of white skin and eau
cassian blood. His remarks received
whirlwind Of applause from the public
gallery, In which were seated many OF
his race.
