THE CHARGES of immortality on the

by Miss Klein, a missionary OF the
Lutheran Church in Africa, in an address

RIGHTEOUSNESS, and persons guilty OF
marital disloyalty are disposed of accord

This is but a repetition of the conditions

THE democrats during the last ten
days Congress was in session strengthened
themselves before the country in the
proportion. that the republicans lost
ground and are now in better position
for a presidential or a congressional
campaign than they have been
for a number of years past. Mr.. Roose-
Welt was smart enough to know that the
longer Congress was in session the more
harm would be done his party, so
insisted upon an early adjournment.

FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL %, 1904.

Thirty YEARS ago or more certain
nreacbers visited resorts in New York
CITY for the purposeof securing evidence
against the proprietcrs Of the same. The
descriptions they wrote of their exPe-
rience advertised places that had previ'
ously been unknown to a large percentage
of the people of New York. The result
was as might have been expected. Young
men read of sensual scenes in the great
metropolis, and in the shades OF night
manv wendell their way toward them.
A few wears later another minister
achieved notoriety by visiting certain
places in the same city and then allow
ing himself to be interviewed by news
paper men. That those people made
themselves cheap is the verdict OF most
persons whose opinions are worth quot
ing. The ministers, however, were re-
sponsibIe only to themselves and soon
lapsed into the obscurity from which
they sprang, The grand jury Of Alex
andria county, it seems, has been play
ing a similar role, and, according to their
statements, they visited the pool rooms
at St. Asaph, bet on certain horses and
won money. This seems to be new
departure in judicial proceedings here
abouts. 1t is undoubtedly the duty OF
the grand jury to inquire into all wrong
doings within their jurisdiction, but 1t
is rare for them to become Hawkshaws
or Vidocqs in order to secure material
upon which to base presentments. The
members of the jury have heretofore
sent for witnesses. Alexandria county
Jurors, however, seem to be more en-
terprising aud modern than the old
fashioned rural tribunals of other days.

DURING THE past few days the tide OF
success which has crowned the japanese
seems to have reached its flood, and a
tendency toward turn is apparent. Inc
sinking OF several japanese vessels by the
Russians recently has treasured the peo-
ple of that country, and hopes are now
entertained that the MuscOviteis abont to
retrieve his fortunes. The capture and
destruction OF a japanese transport TINS
week and the drowning of two hundred
Mongoliansi is another sanguinary chapter
in the history of the struggle now IN
progress. A portion of those aboard
were captured, but two hundred followed
the example of Napoleon's Old Guard
and went down with the ship. Fool
hardy people have been prominentin all
wars since the dawn of history, and the
japanese, whose obduracy cost them their
lives, were specimens of some in the Mi
kadO's ranks.

THE BLUFF made by President Roose-
welt that if Crum, the colored man, was
not confirmed as collector of the port OF
Charleston, S. c., he would call an extra
session of Congress was met by the
self-respecting Senators who promptly
decided to let the nomination go over.
They all knew that Mr. Roosevelt had
no idea of calling Congress in extra SEES
sion, for it has been his earnest and ex-
pressed desire for the past month to get
Congress of his hands, so when he was
called he promptly came down. His
desire to humiliate the South, however,
was made more apparent as was also his
aim to curry favor with the colored
voters in the States in which they hold
the balance of power. Mr.. Roosevelt is
small man and none know this better
than the leaders of his own party.

CONGRESS has adjourned and the

fairly or equitably distributed and every
