 Next, my text teaches us that God proportions our trials to what we can bear-the staff for the fitches, the rod Tor the cummin, the iron wheel for the corn. Sometimes people in great trou- ble say "Oh, I can't bear it!'' But you did bear it. God would not have sent 1t upon you if he had not known that YOU could bear 1t. You trembled and you swooned, but you got through. God will not take from your eyes one tear too many nor from your lungs one sigh too deep nor from your temples one throb too sharp. The perplexities of your earth ly, business have not in them one tanrle too intricate. You sometimes feel as if our world were full of bludgeons flying haphazard. Oh, no; they are thrashing instruments that God just suits to your case. There Is not dollar of bad debts on your ledger or a disappointment about goods that you expected to go up, but that have gone down, or a swndle of your business partner or a trick on the part of those who are in the same kind of merchandise that you are but God intended to overrule for your imm ortal help. Oh" you say, there Is no need talking that way to me. I don't like to be cheated and outraged" Neither does the corn like the corn thrasher, but after it has been thrashed and winnowed it has a great deal better opinion of winnow- ing mills and corn thrashers.
 Well" you say, If I could choose my troubles, I would be willing to be troubled" An, my brother, then 1t would not be trouble.

JUDGE L. L. LEWIS.

NirQinia

1t is stated that the L. 5. attornevship
for the Eastern district of Virginia has
been rendered TO Judge L. l.. Lewis. OF
Richmond. and that he has the matter
under consideration. The term of the
present incumbent. Gen Edgar Allan ex.
pires about the middle of December.
The President wanted 20 appoint Mr.
Lewis as Federal Judge OF the Wester
district OF Virginia last year. and Judge
Lewis was called TO Washington for n
consultation. Finally the appointment
was given to another, as Judge Lewis
was not an actual resident OF the district
and, furthermore, did not want to change
his residence from Richmond
The appointment Of Judge Lewis. IL il
seid. will be agreeable to the Republican
organization in Virginia, although ex.
Representative II. T. 'Thorp, now OF
Norfolk, has the Endorsement of the or
ganizatiOu. There has been some friction
between Gen. Allan and Judge Waddill.
OF the Eastern district, so that it has
been recognized for some time that
the present attorney would probably
not be reappointed.

NoRFoLK's GHOST FINDER

An editorial writer for the Norfolk
Virginian-Pilot has the faculty Of
seeing more GHOSTS" than any other
scribe in the Old Dominion.
There is scarcely day chat he
does not feel called upon to point
out terrible calamities that are about
TO befall the body polite OF Nirginia.
Now this writer may be a very
wise man. He may be able TO read
the culture" of individuals, parties.
States, or nations, but sometimes
his ghosts stories are so far fetched
that they border on the ludicrous.
One of the latest spasm, of which
he is credited with fatherhood, was a
double column editorial portraying
the wonderful mistake made by Gov.
Montague in his selection OF Corpo-
ration Commissioners. The versatile
young writer of ghost stories can
plainly see the marble hand of the
politician in the Governor : appoint
ments. AS usual, he also sees that a
great mistake was made in the fail
ure to give Tidewater one Of the
Commissioners.
1t is certainly strange that among
the scores OF editorial writer's in this
State, not another one could see the
"nigger in the woodpile' This great
honor of being farsighted was re
served for this writer. Then again it
remained for this young man to in
form the public as TO the knowledge
of affairs existing il Patrick County.
in which locality We have grave
doubts that the feet of this young
discoverer ever trod.
1t would be interesting indeed 60
follow this Tourist of Tidewater to
the regions of "Ghostism" were it
not for the fact that one would most
likely fail to see as did the guide of
the journey.
The general opinion, throughout
the State. seems TO be that Gov.
Montague made wise selections in
his appointment of Corporation
Commissioners and this opinion was
endorsed by the Legislature when by
an unanimous vote every appoint
ment was confirmed
We have no objection 20 having
Tidewater Virginia represented in
the appointments made by the Gov
ernor. but we are not foolish enough
to believe that calamity will befaD
the States should he fail 60 recognize
this section in making his selections.
AS matter of fact. Tidewater Vir.
ginia is represented in the person OF
Judge Crump. the other appoint
ments going to the remaining
great divisions OF the State.
Piedmont and the Southwest ::
but we do not believe that the people
OF Virginia were as anxious about
getting neighbOrhoods or sections
represented as they were to have
good and able men selected. Does
our contemporary doubt the ability
or high standing of the appointees?

'"Take care of yourself" say our friends
"I'll try to-" we answer. We do take a little
care, yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbers
and mackintoshes, an army of people were
bowled out by pneumonia and other lung
and chest diseases last winter. They
caught cold, neglected it, let it fix upon
them, were torn by coughs, Choked by
inhammations and oongestions, wasted by
fever, tired out by pain and then gave up
the fight. The hour you realize that you
have cold on the chest, place Benson's
Porous Plaster where the pain or oppres-
sion Is felt. If you think two are needed
make it two. No harm if you were COW
cred with them. They act quickly and
prevent the engagement of blood in the
organs. In this way-with ordinary eau
ton as to exposure-you will break up the
cold and avoid serious sickness. No
other applications, or any other form of
treatment, will accomplish this as certainly
and speedily. Benson's Plasters have dis
tinct and positive action and are curative to
the highest degree. Use them with the same
confidence for coughs, muscular rheuma-
tism, the grip (back and chest) and all SIM
liar ailments. Women, who are chief suffer
crs from cold weather complaints, should
keep these plasters always within reach.

Our Losses to Canada.

An interesting question of political al
legiance has arisen in connection with the
increased emigration of Americans to
central aud western Canada. A despatch
from Minneapolis to the Boston Trans
cript declares that at the present rate OF
emigration two million American families
will be in the Dominion within the next
twenty years. Granting that this IS
probable, what will be the political
effect? The economic effect will certainly
be great, as American settlers are pre-
eminently fitted to open up the rich
Canadian wheat lands; but will they be-
come British subjects? To this we have
no sufficiently extended experience on
which to base reply but so far as that
experience has gone it appears to support
the idea that the American citizen las no
objection to change his allegiance If he
intends to be a permanent resident of the
Dominion. Ifreport is true, the pOpula-
ton of some British Columbian towns
especially bitter against the grant of
liberal mining rights to American minere
was largely composed OF uen who had
been American citizens but had become
thoroughly imbued with the feeling
characteristic OF the rest of that province
in regard to its mining policy and gener-
al progress IN. Y. Commercial Ad-
