The gist of it was that Queen vic-
 toria was then the direct and legitimate successor of King David, who had come down direct from Abraham. He cited the Book of Jeremiah and made things luminous that to my mind had hereto fore been opaque, and then he aEder- took to show by Biblical story, sup-
 ported by geographical nomenclature, that the English race, of which Cedric the Saxon was the distinguished type,
 wascome from the tribe of Dan. He
 traced theid course from Orient to Oc- cident by such names as Danube. Dem
 mark. and thousand other cunning and shrewd citations. molding them
 into arguments that overpowered any
 any receptive mind.
 The orator had at Instantaneous com
 mand all the speculations of profane
 history. He gave theory that the Ark
 of the Covenant and its precious treas-
 urs were carried by Jeremiah into Ire. land and there hidden in the bowels of the earth not to be resurreated until the gospel of Christ had penetrated all climes and possessed all peoples. His picture of the grandeur and power of the British empire was magnificent. and he suggested that America, in every thing but temporal nationality was part of 1t.
 If the man had been gifted with the voice of William J. Bryan or William c. P. Breckinridge, and had been as graceful in attitude as Edwin Booth or Edwin Adams, he might have done whatever he willed with an audience. But to get back to mutton.

BOYDTON, VA, February 1.--NIr c.
Weaver, of Vance county, n. c., was hero

Weaver, now in Jail here. whose escapade
on Saturday night last struck terror to
the family OF Elijah Tacket by firing
three times at Tacket with pistol and
then woundtng him with stone. Mr..
Weaver also employed counsel to defend
his son. He was greatly affected in
speaking of his sons troubles, and said
his son had been afflicted for two or three
years With epileptic fits, and that when
these attacks came on he was hardly re-
sponsible for his acts.
Lewis Weaver says he has no recolec-
ton of anything that occurred that night.
He stayed at home from the time he had
| the difficulty on Saturday night until
Monday afternoon, when he was arrested
by Sheriff Beales
Mr.. Tacket, who was shot at by WeaV-
err, is the father-in-law OF the prisoner.
His injuries We're thought at first to be
fatal but he Is now recovering, and will
soon be we'll enough to attend prelim-
mary trial before a Justice. The trouble
appears to have grown out of the driy-
ing of Jackets horse by Weaver, Tacket
charging that Weaver had driven his
horse too fast, and the two men got into
an angry quarrel over 1t.

out of attempted state

growing out of attempted state
control, are almost intolerable he
was well aware, and central, or
federal control seemed to offer
the only solution to the untoward
conditions now prevailing.
There is little question that for
the greater part attempted rail-
way regulation by the state has
worked little if any good for the
people and none whatever for
the roads. It has done little
more than saddle the roads with
onerous and vexatious conditions
under which they must operate.
The Federal government can,
as between the people and the
railroads, administer equity
and compel equity more certainly
than any other instrumentality
can. For this reason federal
control should commend itself
to all the people.
Let US not become too greatly
impatient. The attempt to con-
troll these corporations is of COM
paratively recent date. Our leg
islation has been largely tenta-
tive, experimental-and neces-
sarily so, but we are rapidly ap-
preaching the positive and staple
forms Of legislation on this vex.

MOT BAGK-SLIDDEN.
DR.. Emil G.. Hirsh, a Jewish

DR.. Emil G. Hirsh, Jewish
rabbi of Chicago, in a sermon to
his congregation last Sunday,
declared the world, including
this nation, has lapsed or deter
iorated in morals. The ultimate
result of this would be bloody
revolution and worse condition
for America than prevails in Rus
sia.
We careiittle about DR.. Hirsh's
conclusions, but his premise is
rather startling. Confning our
inquiry to this Nation, is 1t true
that we, as a people, have had
a moral back-sliding? To accept
this as true it must appear that
a greater ratio than ever before
of our people are ac.uated by i'm
moral incentives to thought, pur-
pose and actions.
That crime is on the increase
in some localities may be admit
ted, but that an increasing per-
centage of our people are crimi-
inals or in danger of becoming
such is not true. There is no
real evidence it is true. Those
who think it true are simply mis-
led by the quick and wide pub
licity now gwen to the commits
sion of any sort of crime. The
telegraph, the telephone, the
press transmit and record the
commission of crime occurring
in the remotest section of the
country and the aggregate de-
ceives US into believing crime is
on the increase.
For the same reasons we are
prone to conclude that civic
crimes, corruption, bribery, i'm

bezzIement of public moneys and
official mal-feasance are on the
increase. This is not true. We
are simply dragging a greater
number of such criminals and
crimes into the light and expos
ing them to public view.
The accumulation Of immense
wealth by immoral methods is
confined to the few. Their
methods are now made known
and meet with public condem-
nation while those who practice
such methods are held up to
general execration. Ill-gotte .
wealth never had so'little real
influence for good or evil as is
now fallen to its let.
Extravaganza, private and
public, largely disappears when
we compare our present ability
to make large expenditures with
former inability to do so. The
immortality of extravaganza is in
living beyond ones ability. Liv-
ing up to ones income is usually
unnecessary and very foolish but
can scarcely be stigmatized as
immoral. 2
Complete analysis of the whole
subject constrains us to believe
that never before have the
masses of the American people
been actuated by so high moral
purposes. :, Never before have
they been so earnest and unani-
nous in their determination that
all immortality shall be destroyed.
The growth of the temperance
reform is alone irrefutable evil
dence that we are not moral
back-sliders.
Clergymen, school-men and all
whose occupation and habits
keep from association with the
masses are easily deceived by the
aotsam and jetsam of thescon-l
aict. To know how the battle is
going we need to know the
and earnest courage of
The firing line.
We are not slipping backward.

ain quietly in one position,
Hoves forward and onward to
