follow that we ought to extend to the
negro every right. every privilege,
every immunity, which he is capable
of enjoying, consistent with the good
of society.
We have no hesitency in declaring
that the above voices the sentiments
of the great mass of Southern people
today, and on this rock they will stand
let come what may. They are but
today giving vent to these views in
many States, and without defiance to
any one, without any sentiment but a
deep, mistaken determination to carry
those views into the organic law of
their State, they are writing and re-
writing, will write and rewrite them
whenever and wherever necessary. In
their statues when they feel like it in
their constitution when they want to.
1t is foolish, therefore, to hear mel
declare that the Supreme Court will
do this Or that. 1t may do or not do,
it may write opinions, it may send
marshals, it may do all that the most
rabid S~outh-hater may desire, and
still nature will assert herself, the
white man will rule, he will rule in bis
way, he will live at the head of the
armies of the earth where ma
ture placed him, and from whence
naught but nature can take him away.

If Mrs. BONNIE, a married woman in
Washington, could 60 to the room of
a young nan at 2 O'Clock at night and
shoot him to death, and thus become
a heroine, why may not some NAL ried
man have gone TO Mrs. Dennis room
in the same city in the middle of the
night and beat her brains out, with a
view of becoming a hero? If a mar
ried man is found to be the slayer of
Mrs. Dennis, all he will have to do in
Washington will be to tell how Mrs.
Dennis assaulted him when he got to
her room in the night, and how, to
his honor, he defended himself
and in the scuffle the piano stool flew
up and accidentally hit her in some
three or four places on the head. and
then how he. became frightened and
ran out of the window end down the
fire escape. and the jury will trium-
phantly acquit him.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness.
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intiamed con
ditjpn of the mucous lining Of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un.
less the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in.
famed condition Of the mucous u
faces.
We will give One. Hundred Dollars

tarrh) that cannot be cured by HALLS

THAT We RDICT.

The verdict in the Schley case was
no surprise to us. From the first we
asserted that the nava! clique had
things fixed to eat him up. We have
long seen how rotten the Navy is, and
as those in power there had the selec
tion of the judges, we did not expect
the servant to be above his master, SO
we were prepared for just such an ex-
hibition of cringing 1unkeyism. The
clique would never have selected Ad-
miral Dewey if it could have done
otherwise, but in this it had no option.
In the ase of Benham and Ramsey it
used its own pleasure and the tools
proved plant. But they have gone too
far, they have found too much, they
have become accusers, and have rem
dered a verdict in part On evidence
not adduced. We do not see why they
did not convict Schley of high crimes
and misdemeanors, and sentence him
to penal servitude for life. The two
old manakins placed Oh the court by
the naval clique worked we'll when the
wires were pnlled, we even believe they
allowed Lemley to write their report,
they certainly must have allowed the
department to know where they stood
before they were selected, If there is
a contemplate being on earth it is
a suborned witness and a corrupt
judge. Both have figured largely in
this case, and as for the witnesses
they have long since been set down in
public opinion in their proper places,
and the time Of the judges is at hand.
Who would not rather be Schley, con-
demned by such judges as Benham and
Ramsey, than Sampson with his i'll
gotten gains Who will not hereafter
look on Benham and Ramsey with
loathing and disgust?
The only part of the proceeding we
would change is that part where Dewey,
because of naval rule, signed the find
If be had told those two old naval
ulcers that they might do what they
with their report, but that as
for himself he would see them in -
before be would touch such carrion
with a pitch fork, much less with a
pen, be would have been cheered from |
one end of the nation to the other. He
should have let his right arm wither in
it's socket before he dignified such a
scandal on decency and justice with
his name. We wish be had done it, it
would have been a just rebuke.

We have heard from corporation
lawyers that the committee on corpo
rations in the convention has framed
a section for the constitution which
will drive all corporations out of Vir
ginia. Gentle reader lose no sleep on
this subject. A corporation is the east
est thing to run out of a State, to hear
the corporation tell it, but the hardest
thing to get rid of when the truth is
known, that this county has ever seen.
There is too much good picking in
Virginia for those cormorants to leave

tanned by the Rev. Mr.. Yohanan, oil
Persia, in an interesting and instruc.
tive lecture on persian Literature
The lecturer has made a thorough
study of the literature of bis country,
and being an effective speaker, be made
on his hearers an impression not easily
to be effaced. After giving an outline
of the history of Persian literature
with brief mention of the best known
writes. Mr.. Yohanan directed special
attention to Omar Khayyan-whose
Rubayat is so familiar to all-Firdusl,
the "Shakespeare of Persia" and
Haiz, tue great lyric poet. He related
in the most thrilling, vivid and i'm
pressive manner the story of Omar
Khayyan, thus acquainting his au.
dience with the poet himself and
throwing much light on the Rubayat,
the most popular of his poems.
Firdusi ('Paradise") has a most in
terestlng history. On being appoint
ing by the Sultan to write a p~oetlcal
version Of the deeds of the ancient
kings, with the promise of a thousand
pieces of gold for every thousand verses
of the poem, be undertook the task.
After completing the enormous work
IL 60, 900 verses, and receiving the
praise and approval of the Sultan,
Firdusi was cheated of his wages,
Whether through the parsimony of the
king or the %treachery of his treasurer,
silver was substituted for gold; the
poet saw his splendid reward dwindle
to paltry wages. In a transport of
rage he Immediately divided it among
three of the bystanders. This brought
down upon him the wrath of the Sui
tan, who condemned the poet to be
trampled to death by an elephant. The
sentence was Withdrawn, however, up
on the poets humbling himself.
After an interesting description of
the Passion Play of Persia, a weird,
barbarous performance, presenting the
greatest contrast to the modern drama
Mr.. Yohanan closed with an appeal
for aid in sending the gospel to this
heather people, whose soul stirring
is like "a beautiful flower in a
desert waste" The poetry of Persia
lacks Christ to make it perfect.

The raj .rOad situation in Highland
Is such as TO force upo us an unreal

What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's swamp
koot, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
OF the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of LIQUOR
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity OF being compelled to 20 often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
