PATERNALIsM GROWING.
Both Parties Racing to See Which Shall
 Go Fastest to Generalization.

Washington Special
 Ex-Senator William Lindsay of Ken lucky who Is in ,Vasin Washington, n ic% today Y certain to be much quoted. He says Bryan Is in full control of Democracy and will continue to dominate all of 1t that has not gone over to Roosevelt. He adds:
 50 far as I can see. 1t appears to be a race between Democrats and Repub- llcans as to which can go fastest in the way of centraliZing all control of the country in the Federal Government at
 Tn both parties there is a disposi- tion to have the National Government thing under the sum-, and ther is noth- ing too radical for these advocates or paternalism to recommend.
 The other day man In my oficc tions and saying that the Government ought to adopt vigorous repressive measures against them. He was re- minded that the Federal Government but that the various States were sane tioning them by the score every day IT. the year. He was of the modern SehoSi sch of visionaries who think that hat American public and that Uncle Sam ought to remedy every grievance.
 This sort of citizen would let a wild tiger out of a cage and then howl for a policeman to come and kill the brute.
 If an autocracy of wealth be cre- ated In the United States it will be be- cause of the war waged upon them who have wealth, because the assault em- anates from the patiopal capital. As long as the battle was fought out in centers of State authority no great harm could ensue. but to set the United States Government to work fighting wealth arrays all the people of the na- tion in two hostile classes. In looking over history we see that victory has ai- ways perched on banners of tho wealthy, and there is no reason to think that our experience will be in any wise different"

A GOOD LESSON.

At Guthrie, Okla, smart colored man who was trying to pass himself off as white man had an interesting g experience a few days ago. and one that he isn't likely to forget very soon. He might have passed along in peace and quiet if he had not tried to court a white girl, but that Is where he fell down. A colored girl informed the mother of the young lady that the bumptious buck was not a white man, and they proceeded to set a trap for him. He was invited into the parlor and while the young lady entertained him the mother came in with a bull whip and the colored girl had a club. The result is thus set forth by The Guthrie Guide, a negro paper, by the way:
 The way those women beat that ras- cal makes them unknown heroes. When he escaped he went so fast he left nothing but dust clouds in his all that was due him in thls instance. Should the better element of the two races league up like this colored and white woman against such rascals, re-
 
 lynchers would soon be unknown
 Evidently this negro editor enjoyed telling about how the colored brother got what was coming to him, and was pleased at the lesson. That 1t was a proper and effective method of settling with such intruders Is beyond doubt. If this negro had persisted in his er- fort to overstep the boundary between the races a lynching might have been the result. The way 1t was settled will pretty certainly be effective, and If the fellow remains in Guthrie and again makes himself obnoxious the chances are that something worse than a bull-whip will come into requisition But really the amusing feature of the affair was the way his colored brother wrote him up.

It need surprise no one to learn that they are about to show that General oyama Is of Irish descent The story goes that one Patrick O'Yama left Ireland two or three centuries ago for France. but was shipwrecked on the Philippines. and from there he or his descendants went to Japan. But that isn't all. for the samo authority tells us that General oku was originally OKeogh. genuine son of the Green Isle, whose ancestors strayed over to Japan long years ago and became Japanese in residence and in some of their char acteristics.

Principle Does Not Change With LOca-

New Orleans Picayui

The Picayune held at the time of the confirmation (of the negro Anderson as Collector of Internal Revenue in New York) that no Southern Senator should have voted for it, because the principle ficial authority over whites is as appli- cable in the Northern States as In the South. and even if the Northern whites should favor social equality and anal not, the whites of the South should do all in their power to save them from such a fate and not take advantage of taliatiou a vicious blow at the North ern people. for a principle is always a principle, and does not change with conditions,

Death of Mir. Meigs.

T was shocked greatly to learn of the death of James H. Meigs, editor of The Marshall Banner, said a Montgom- cry newspaper man.

WE CAN BEAT YOU.

Some of the esteemed brethren of old Virginia, tiring of the ordinary affairs of life. have got down to the discussion of warts. just plain w-a-r-t-s, of which most of us have had more or less experimental knowI- edge in the past. They are telling their readers how to rid themselves of the troublesome excrescences, and The Richmond Times Dispatch sails in with this sure remedy:
 Go into the woods and get a holly leaf-stiek each thorn into a separate wart, then take the leaf into a marsh and push 1t down into the soft earth with with sL stick cut from a dogwood tree While the burial is going on say:
 Warts, warts.
 GO away;
 'tGo away,
 And stay away"
 Then turn and walk home. Of course you must not look back.
 Then The Norfolk Landmark butts in with sure thing, thus:
 As to ourselves. we believe in sim pie. reasonable treatment for warts. It is well known that the sure cure for these unlovely excrescences Is to steal piece of fat meat, rub it on the wart, and then bury the meat in solitude.
 That's all very well for benighted yirginians, but they simply don't know what they are talking about. Their alleged remedies might cure an imita- ton wart, but for the genuine article there Is but one absolutely sure rem edy .and we've got it. In the plenitude of our kindliness and good nature We give 1t to the warty brethren. Go out into the garden or field before sum- rise. pull of common bean leaf and rub the wart fairly hard with 1t. You do this nine mornings in succession and then you can send in your bill. for every wart will go out of business. The beauty of it Is that they don't drop off like rotten apples. but one who follows the directions will find that the warts
 Shall fold their tents like the Arabs
 And as silently steal away.
 The late possessor of the encum- brances can never tell when. where or how they went. any more than one can tell where the light goes when the can1le Is blown out. But it must be borne in mind that the directions must be faithfully followed, or the charm doesn't work. The leaf must be pulled while the dew Is on 1t and before sum rise, the wart must be we'll rubbed and 1t must be done nine mornings without break. If these directions are followed we guarantee the re- moval of any wart in Virginia or even in North Carolina.

Condition of Fountain.

T would like to come down town some fine spring morning." said a prominent citien of Montgomery yes terday. and find that somebody had either painted the Court Square foun- tain or blown it to pieces with a gooo load of dynamite.
 Tt Is a miserable shame to let the old relic remain in the condition 1t is now in when for a little money judi ciously spent for paint. the appearance of the water spout could be so much improved To look at the fountain, one would think that 1t had not been painted in the last ten years, though I do not know when 1t received its last coat of paint
 T believe every citizen of Montgom- cry will agree with me when I say that the fountain should be made to look respectable ar it should he torn down and given as a present to Coosada or thrown in the river. As it Is, 1t is an eyesore to the people of Montgomery and If 1t looks bad to us, 1t must cer- tainly give the traveller the impression that we are slovenly in the keeping of our public property.
 Tt seems to me that the sentimen- talists that raised such a warwhoop when the idea of razing the fountain was brought up in the interest of a modern office building on the spo, might take wind again and get after the authorities for not taking good care of the lovely. dear old historic fountain"
