The dailies Of Monday bring the in
formation that the $talwart-Eleventh-

such complete fizzle of the attempt to

have embarked on like campaign with

a wire-puller of national repute, bosom
friend and protege of the Nebraska o. S.
senator who lie now under indictment
on charge Of selling postoffices to the
highest bidder Let the imported boss
come on at once, for it would appear
that he bias the necessary qualifications
for the dirty and expensive job. But
why swap horses in the middle of the
stream? Was 1t not proclaimed from

Can 1t be possible that the congressman
has discos cred tina. the people are not so
easy to command as were certain mem
bers Of the legislature, when he left
Washington and took up headquarters
at Madison to join the lobby in defeat
ing promised legislation? 1t is perhaps
well that the loyal republicans of this
district and the entire state should not
forget that the soon-to-be imported man
from Nebraska and our congressman
will not disagree 90 to methods.

clIna,Ie Cures.

The influence Of climatic conditions
In the cure Of consumption Is very much
overdrawn. The poor patient, and the
rich patient, too, can do much better at
home by proper attention to food diges-

Syrup Free expectoration in the morn
ing is made certain by German Syrup,
so Is a good nights rest and the absence
of that weakening cough and debilitat-
ing night sweat. Restless nights and
the exhaustion due to coughing, the
greatest danger and dread of the con-
sumptive, can be prevented or stopped
by taking German Syrup literally and
regularly. Should you be able to go to
a warmer cline, you win find that out

cial and religious ideas of a brilliant mind
upon questions of absorbing interest. The
literary finish of the book is of the first
quality. Both the darker and lighter
hand. 80.
But great as is its literary charm, this
is not the chief attraction of the book
What holds you from start to finish is its
picture OF the bleeding, Impoverished
South, rising from the ashes of defeat, re,
building her civilization, overthrowing
the black terror which had fastened at the
throat, and driving from her borders the
thieves who were despoiling her. :.
while making this criticism, l need
hardly say that with one of Mr.. Dixon's
ruling ideas on the race question, l am
in most hearty accord, which is that social
equality between the Anglo-Saxon and the
negro means race amalgamation and at
that door the Southern white stands arm
ed to keep it inviolable forever
NOW I do not deny that a race war.
resulting in the partial determination of
the negro, is cloud which must for gen
erations to come lift its ominous shadow
above the Southern horizon of these
United States.
There he will see portrayed in all its
grisly terror the black peril that is upon
us, if the negro shall grow in intelligence
and wealth and not in grace and humility,
and the white man shall increase in num-
bers and power without the love of Christ
and of human souls

The criticism SO far as read by me i'm
presses one as to it's candor and intelli-
gence. The writer is much more of a be-
never in the negro character and possi-
bllitles than are most Southern men of
education. Not over two or three years
ago a minister of the gospel took me to
task for conceding in an editorial that
there were 80 per cent. of the negroes in
the South who were trustworthy and ca
pable of moral and intellectual elevation.
| am satisfied now that 1 put my figures
much too high / would not put them to-
day above 40 per cent, if so much The
revelations of the last census as to the
negro III the North and in the South con-
corning retrograding and growth in
criminality have found decided change
of view. They are most startling and con-
vincing. Mr.. Lapsley should study them.
The minister referred to just now said to
me that he was born on plantation
where there were many negroes that he
had been with them all his life, and had
had much connection with them since
their freedom, and he was forced to con-
clude that only about 10 per cent were
reliable or desirable people to have among
us. So even Southern preachers will diff
