4 Discordant Voice.

It is unpleasantly anomalous tnat
sometimes while secular newspapers
do their best TO establish and main
tain peace and good feeling publi-
cations representing religious bodies
apparently labor diligently for dis
cord. Possibly these conditions may
be explained by the fact that secular
newspapers, dealing with all kinds
and conditions of people and with
the affairs of the world at large. nat
urally broaden and ripen; whereas.
publications recognized as organs of
special denominations tend to think
in narrow circles and 10 consider all
things from restricted points of view
and so gradually contract and be-
come acrid. acid and quarrelsome.
The Baptist Religious" Herald, OF
this city, in its current issue under
takes apparently 70 rebuke The News
Leader for the conservative position
10 took regarding the entertainment
Of Bishop Ferguson, of Africa, a
Negro, by Bishop Potter, of New
York, near the close of the conven-
tion of the Protestant Episcopal
church In America in this city. 1t
goes on to remark that The News
Leader had no censuTe for Bishop
Potter and that the Times-Dispatch
ignored the incident IL adds the
suggestion that IL a prominent white
Baptist clergyman had entertained
at his own table here a prominent
Negro Baptist clergyman the posi-
tions of the two newspapers might
have been different.
Evidently the general conceptions
and purposes OF the Herald and the
News Leader differ widely. Our con
sistent and unremitting effort has
been to repress and restrain dissen-
sion. We have labored to unite the
people OF the South of Virginia, OF
Richmond, of all creeds. classes and
denominations, 10 make them feel

Simply as a matter of information
we went to the door and saw bottles
of whiskey being sold by the county
authorities. It was said that not
more than one pint was sold to any
one person. The opponents of the
dispensary argued that while a mal.
could buy a five cent drink and not
get drunk, when he got a bottle he
felt it TO be his bounden duty to keep
drinking until he emptied it. The
result was that drunken men were
often seen around the dispensary.
