can papers are taking, Senator
Bailey, Of Texas, to task for
having been party IN 1883 to the so-called
4"Coplah county outrages" in Mississippi.
Senator Bailey was then a young man,
and belonged to an organization OF
young Democrats, who made It their
business to ride around though the coun-
try Just before election day and fire off
guns and make other demonstrations, In
order to scare the negroes and prevent
them from turning out and voting. That
sort Of campaign work was not confined
to Copiah county Mississippi. 1t was
done in various parts Of the South. 1t
was done In some sections. Of Virginia
and it was first-rate work 1t was alto
gether the best method we ever knew OF
dealing with the ignorant and vicious
negro voters. 1t was imply out of the
question that the whites should allow the
negroes to carry the election. for negro
rule meant demorallza ton, degradation
and bloodshed. There were two ways
Of dealing with such voters-the one was
intimidation and the other was cheating
at the polls. OF the two evils intimida-
ton was far preferable, far less democrat
izing. and Senator Bailey and his asso-

denounced for the work that they did

"Blue and Gray Reunions

Grand Commander George L. Chris
tan said in his report yesterday at the
reunih In Lynchburg that no had IN
June Mast received an invitation to at
tend meeting to be held in Faneuil
Hail August 18th (when the Grand Army
Of the Republic would be in that city,
TO meet members OF that organization
and other distinguished guests. But ne
declined the invitation on the ground
that he still loved tho memories and
principles OF the Confederate struggle.
aud whilst he had Loyalty and IN good
faith accepted the results OF the war
he was fully convinced now, as in 1851
that the cause was righteous one; and
he could, therefore, never willingly join
with those who met to rejoice THAI we
did not succeed in that struggle.
Judge Christian is right. The Times
Dispatch does not believe in reunions
of the Blue and the Gray" We do not
believe that peace and good fellowship
are to be promoted by such occasions.
Individual Confederates may meet in
-div1dual Union men in either section and
get along we'll enough together. Eut
when confederates get together in a
body and put on their gray coats, and
when Union soldiers get together in a
body and put on their blue coats, these
two little armies are enemies, and they
are ready for scrap. AS such they
can have nothing in common, and there
can be. no good fellowship between them.
All such reunions are to be avoided.

EFFECTS OF EVIL TEMPER.
The Man or Woman Who Is Swayed
by Passion Is Bound to Be

One Of the most desirable things in
life is for every person to learn to
control his temper There is seldom
anything to gain, but rather everything
to lose, when one permits himself to
be swayed by passion under any cir
cumstance. 1t is thus that friends are
lost, enemies made, bad situations ag-
gravated, endless misery created and,
occasionally, the direct tragedies en-
one may derive for the moment GER
tain enjoyment in license of expressing
exactly what he feels, but most surely
must it be followed by a reaction Of
regret. Indeed, if serious person, the
probability is that on becoming calm
again, after the fit has passed away.
he will be ashamed of his foolish con-
duct and the disgraceful exhibition he
made of himself; he will realize, down
in his heart, that not right away. If

SURE CURE FOR THE BLUES
Best Remedy Against Them Said to
Be the Wearing OF the Best
Things You Have.

IF you want to know the best reme-
dy for the blues" said a thoughtful
girl to a companion, I'll tell you. 1t
isn't to take walk, nor to read aloud
to an invalid, nor to take a course OF
Mark Twain, nor to buy a pound OF
chocolates and eat them all yourself
it is something even simpler than these
remedies. l learned about it from a
person who said that while she had
often been threatened with the blues
she had really never had an attack OF
them because she always used the cure
before melancholy had got a hold on
her.
"Well, not to keep you in suspense
any longer, the way to cure the blues
if you have them or to stave them on
If you feel them coming on is to put on
all your best clothes and wear them
until the spasm passes off. The girl
who told me about this said that no
sooner did she perceive that she was
beginning to think what an unsatis-
factory world this was and no sooner
did she feel that all was vanity than
up to her room she rushed in q hurry.
"Once there she would arrange her
hair as deliberately as possible and put
On her best petticoats-if silk, SO much
the better-the best gown, collar, hat
and veil that she possessed. A pair of
fresh white gloves, she said, she found
a great efficacy in raising the spirits.
Then she would go out to walk and as
she walked the beneficent effect of her
good clothes would make itself felt
and though she was in the depths when
she started by the time she turned
back vhe was feeling that all was not
as black as it was painted, and when
she arrived at her own door she was
confident that Gods in His Heaven,
all's right with the world as she could
be.
81 have known a new gown to make
the most disconsolate Mrs. Gummidge
cheer up and take an interest in life;
l have known a new hat to get an al
most hopeless invalid out of bed and on
her feet when her family had long
since given up all hope Of her recovery.
The effect of good clothes ON self-re-
spect cannot be overestimated. Neither
can it on the spirits.
"Perhaps some psychologist will
arise some day to tell us why these
things are true. can't explain them,
but true they are for sure, and any
woman can bear testimony to the effect
of good clothes is more than an out
ward and visible one-it is far more,
it Is an inward spiritually bolstering
I'D one."-Chicago Chronicle. -, -.

battle with renewed spirit and dar-
ing.
The first money Gen. Logan sent
home out of his pay his wife spent
toward the purchase OF a home, and
when he returned from the war she
handed him the deed for house and
ten acres of land, bought from the saw
ings of the remittances which he had
made.
The famous saying, during and after
the war: Here's your mules" was
original with Mrs. Logan. Her broth
er-in-law had fine pair of mules, and
one day he went to Mrs. Logan and
said he would bet them against 5000
that her husband would come over to
the democratic side. Mrs. Logan took
the bet without her husbands knowl-
edge and won, and with the general
drove all over Illinois, stumping the
state: Everywhere they were greet
ed with the cry: Here's your mules"
the disguised expression of the loser
when he paid the bet.
The Boston Globe says that Mrs.
Logan is charming woman to meet.
Added to the cultivation of life spent
among famous people is the talent OF
native genius, and the two have so
blended that she ranks easily among
the foremost of her sex in the nation.
The deep love she evinced for her hus-
band is manifest in every tone and
look whenever his name is mentioned.
She is Methodist and a devout
worshiper, but in her religious SYM
pathies she is most broad-minded, and
under her presidency the Garfield hos
pital grew from the most minute of
beginnings to field of the most wide
and useful beneficence.
With her patrician face and snow
white hair, Mrs. Logan is probably the
most picturesque of the military Wild
ows.
