HUMAN NATURE.

After all, human nature is pretty much the same all over the world. except that down here in the South on some occa- sions, when passion boils over, 1t is not sought to wreak vengeance on any except the guilty. When a white man commits an outrage of the unforgiveable kind upon a helpless woman, he is as sure to suffer the penalty of death, if the mob can get him in its power. as is the negro. It is not in that case a race prejudice or instinct, but ans overwhelming mani festation of that feeling which will pro- tect the helpless from wrong and out rage.
 Our friends of the North and West at long range fire off their abuse and de- possessed by demons. and fiends incar- nate, because unfortunately the mob sometimes takes the law into its own hands. They try to always make it apA pear as a case of race prejudice, as if men bent on violence would stop from carrying out their object because of color of the criminal. Last Sunday in the State of Illinois. a negro was lynched by a mob of farmers. It was because of his vile assault on a ten-year-old little girl. The men of that mob did not stop at this, but sought to drive off every negro in the community. thus showing a race prej- udice greater than any exhibited in the South on similar. occasions. The mob caught the negro, hung him to a tree and riddled bis body with bullets. Those same men have no 1oubt often denounced Southern participants in similar out breaks. When brought home to them- selvts. their human nature got the bet ter of them.

HE CHANGED HIS VIEWS.

Last year we remember to have read of young divinity student in one of the Eastern States, we believe, who was re- fused admission to the ministry because he was not considered strictly orthodox in his beliefs. The story of Adam ana Eve was the worst stumbling block in his path. He was apparently unable to take in or believe the wonderful and beautiful account of the creation, and because of this disbelief he could not en- ter into the ministry of his church, which, as we now remember, was the Presbyte- rian.
 We are reminded of this incident by a brief statement in a contemporary that the young man has recently been or- dained, having changed his views. No details are given, so we are not informed as to what brought about the change. If 1t came from more careful and earnest study of the Bible history and Bible teaching, 1t is much to his credit as a man and as a churchman, and really we can think of no other merely human ground for the change. Much of the teaching of modern science seems to lead one away from the Bible, and in nothing is this more prominent than with regard to the creation. Modern discoveries and much of modern teaching would lead to entire disbelief in the Mosaic account, and leave us groping in the world of con- lecture without any starting place.

HE CONVICTED ROTH

Sometimes when a Judge doesn't find a law to ,3ts the case in hand. he makes one that will fit. The plan may involve legal and, other complications. but 1t has the merit of getting there, which is some- thing worth considering.
 A few days ago Boston Judge had be- fore him two men charged with the of- fence of prize fighting. Now, prise-hght- ing is not crime under the Boston statutes. and as the mill was conducted under the rules of the ring, and no statute was violated, the Judge was troubled to know how he could find them guilty of any offence. for he was deter- mined to punish them.
 In this dilemma he had an inspiration, so he promptly declared each of them guilty of assault and battery and assessed fine of $10o on each. It was in vain that the attorneys who appeared for the pugilists pleaded that prize-fighting is a sport and that they engaged in it volun- tarily. and that nothing was done to eith- CT except what he was prepared for and expected to get In short. each of the as- saulted and battered parties declared that the other meant no harm and had committed no offence. It all did no good. The Judge was bound to convict them of something and as the evidence was plain that they were equally to blame and that each battered the other to the best of his ability, why, of course, they were both guilty and both must be pun ished. This decision may not hold good in the higher courts. and it may not be good law, but 1t really did sometning, and that is not to be lightly condemned.

"A WRONG r1cPREssroN.

<8 W &S0N1 4A6 0k6aD0xOM.
 The Emporia C<an.) Gazette is the, only newspaper we have yet seen that would take up for the physiological venus in regard to the moral side of her charac- ter. She lived decently for a long time and made good mother" says The Ga- sette. thereby taking quite a different view from that held by those who have heretofore written of her. Judging by the accounts that have come down to us. she was about the gayest female that ever came down the pike. She selected her lovers indiscriminatcly from among the gods and the mortals of her day, and her recorded escapades would bar her from any but the most absolute of mod ern society. As to the controversy now on over her form. we have nothing to say. for different people will hold differ ent views on. that point. but we certainly object to having her name enrolled among the good women.
 The statue of Venus has long been looked on as perfect speciment of fe- male physical beauty. Right lately the question has been causing considerable controversy, but that Is nothing new. While some insist that her waist is en: tirely too large and others declare that her pose is not graceful, there are others who are just as sure of their own judg- bent and ready to swear, if need be. that the statue is perfect. As before remark ed. we have no intention of taking sides on that point. but when she is referred to as model woman, morally, we feel like filing an objection. As to her being a good nother--well. the less said of that the better.

GAIN FLESH An Absolute Necessity
 in Many Cases. A DECREASE IN WEIGHT FREQUENTLY INDICATES
 A DECLINE. Our Modern Rebuilder, Vin0l. Will Help You Do It. THE WAY IT ACTS ON A DE. PLETED CONSTITUTION IS
 SIMPLY MARVELLOUS.

Are you getting thin? If you are you had better watch yourself. Take Vinol. It will build you up quickly and surely.
 A healthy man does not vary much from year to year in his weight. This is as it should be. Vinol enables the organs of the body to renew flesh, muscle tissue, bone structure, and at- tends to purifying the great vital cur rent of the human system, the blood.
 Vinol contains the active curative properties of Cod-Liver Oil in Q highly concentrated state, and is the most wonderful tonic that we have ever had anything to do with.
 Vinol acts upon the stomach in . beneficial way, enabling it to obtain for itself the necessary ingredients from the food that is taken into it to build up the pure healthy body and in- crease the weight.
 MT. H. M. Stufell, who Is q we'll known passenger trainman on the Boston and Maine Railroad, suffered as many railroad men do, with kidney and other troubles. He writes as fol- lows:
 My kidneys troubled me . great deal, my bowels were very irregular, I had great distress in my stomach, suf- fered with bilious headaches, had no sppetits, could not sleep nights, and was losing flesh rapidly. l began to take Vinol, am now on my third bot tie, and it Is doing wonders for me. My kidneys are better, my bowels are again regular, my stomach no longer troubles me, and no more headaches, and as for appetite, don't speak of it ]; sleep like . top and have gained thirteen pounds. You can count on me always to recommend Vinol as the king of medicines"
 With many such testimonials as the above coming before us, 1t is not strange that we endorse VinOl as strongly as we do. We unhesitat- ingly agree to return to any one whO has taken vinOl and is not satisfied that it has accomplished all that we claim for it every cent that they have paid us f0r this remedy. E.G. E Fowler, Druggist.

THE REPUBLICAN, CONFERENCE

EvedintIy there is to be considerable of a commotion in the Republican con ference. or whatever it may be called, that is to assemble here on the 9th of May. It is to be held under the auspices of Messrs. Thompson, Aldrich and Scott, who are the patronage referees, and to that extent representatives of the admin istration in this State. They favor the seating only of men who are qualified voters under the laws of Alabama, and as there are not 5000 negro voters in the State. if their notions prevail. only a handful of negroes will be present It seems to be a voluntary gathering, and, judging from the remarks of The Ala bamian, the administration organ, only those will be admitted who are voters. That it anticipates some movement to flood the meeting with negroes is evident from the way The Alabamian speaks in the following:
 The invitation is intended for the friends of the administration who are legally qualified voters and for no one else.
 No registered voter will be excluded because he IS of the negro race, and no unregistered applicant will be admitted whether he be black or white. thor ough to understanding in this matter will perhaps save many men the expense and trouble of a trip to Montgomery.
 No man should be admitted to that con- ference unless he >roduces his certificate of registration. Unless this precaution Is taken there are influences at work which will stack the hall with an irre- sponsible mob of unregistered negroes for the purpose of bringing the meeting into derision and contempt.
 Let every man who attends carry his certificate with him and show 1t to the doorkeeper as the only passport to the hall.

One of the most pitiful sights we have noticed is picture of James Keene, the great financial magnate. lying on a sick bed surrounded by all the machinery and paraphernalia required to keep him in touch with the business world. Teie- graph and telephone wires are within reach, while stenographers. typewriters and other accessories of a busy life are grouped about. The ruling passion of his life dominates him while sick, as 1t does while we'll, and if his attack should prove fatal, among the last sounds he hears will be the ticker which tells of the rise and fall of the stocks and bonds, which are part of his existence.

We have heard of suits of clothing last ing man long time, but The Portland oregonian gets little beyond anything we have before heard of in the following item:
 General George F. Afford of Dallas. Tex, still wears a Confederate uniform. He has never taken it off since he put 1t on in the early sos. He Is much ob- served on the streets. General Afford has been judge, banker. legislator and Congressman.
 We certainly do admire Confederate soldier who sticks to his colors but we don't see how a man can wear one suit of clothes forty-three years. and espe- cially as he never takes it off It must be real inconvenient at times.
