Judge Durham, a well-known local Judge of Greensboro, Ga., had an exper- fence with Peruna we'll worth reciting A report had become carr mt among the judges friends that Le was threatened with consumption. It was feared r a time that Georgia was to lose one of it's most prominent and influential citizens
 It was also reported that the Judge had failed to get any relief from any of the medical aid at his command, that he had made use of the now world famous remedy Peruna, and made prompt re- covery.

 The public importance of the Judge together with the prominence of his many friends, as well as the startling and dramatic features of the unexpected cure caused one of our leading news. papers to make inquiry into the facts.

Congress should see that they will gain
nothing by this disloyalty TO the Consti-
tuition as do Republicans outside. Never
have Southern Democrats been more malig-
nant n speech and act than during this
session in the House. A patriotic and
earnest President has been bitterly assailed
in every debate; Republican secretary of
state who learned his Repubicanism at the
feet Of Abraham Lincoln has been stigma
tiled as a traitor to his country. In his
eagerness to fling filth upon a Republican
administration the Democratic leader of the
House. permitted by Republicans to escape
censUre for a piece of jObbery, gives an
absurd rumor the Importance of a dark
scandal. Republicans in the House must
see that their generosity and forbearance,
exercised through three sessions, is not
only not appreciated but is treated with
contempt. And since the Republicans Of
the House have hesitated Democrats in
Virginia have disfranchised 10000 colored
voters, and they practically snap their fin
gers in derision at hesitating Republicans
of the House.

Much is said of the hopelessness of the
efforts to civilize and educate the natives
of the Philippines. Mr.. Sidney Brooks, in
the Forum for April, gives an account
of the experience of Great Britain with the
Malays. with the suggestion that our eff
forts in the Philippines will prove disap-
pointing if much is expected in a short
time. This caution may be timely. yet
at the same time that it is given comes
the statement of Mr.. Atkinson, the super
intendent of public education in the Phil
ippines, which shows that in the day
schools there are 100000 pupils with 5000
teachers, and in the evening schools for
adults 10000 pupils, all of whom are re-
ceiving English education. 1t must be ad-
mitted that this is a great beginning for
three years in population of several mil
lions.
