A Card.

Rev Dr. L D Bass is delivering
a number OF lectures through
Hin ois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigaa, :
Iowa and Wisconsin, upon The
negro question. DR. Bass is booked
for over forty nights in succession
in these States. He is having
large and enthusiastic audiences.
We have just seen Il circular
sent out by 1t Lvceum Bureau.
containing a good pjctnre Of the
Doctor along with large number
of complimentary press notices.
When the Doctors friends in
Williamsburg remember that a
lew years ago he had great fight
with the Postoffice Department they
are reiolced to hear OF his success
in the North.
There isa time of vindication
for every man. But that time
must BE- chosen. Every man Is
understood and appreciated al
last. Sometimes 4 man must
make his own vlndication. DR.
Bass did this. He had nearly one
hundred objections to the ruling
of The count, aud he sustained
every one except one. The higher
court held that in this single en-
ceplion, "asking for bill OF par
liculars'', they had uojurisdiciion,
as such questions We're left with
the trial judge. This was the
mos, sweeping victory ever won
in the courts OF Washington. DIR
Bass Wa. far more fortunate than
Admiral Schley.
While DR. Bass won his own
victory, yet time and circun-
stances have more efectuallr win
dlcated hin. Time heals mIsun-
derstan, inss, and all things are
seen al 'asl in their right proper
tions. He Is a poor soul who
does not have champion, and
ou friends viii sooner or later
see that We come into our own.
