Senator Davis of Arkansas, since
he got that walloping, has informed
the world that it was an attempt to
assassinate him-another instance of
the classes against the masses. Ac-
cordingly THE APPEAL has no
hesitancy in charging the response
bi1ity for the transaction upon the
trusts. They, no doubt, inspired the
infamous attack and hired reprobates
to "do" Jeff. They remembered the
awful castigation that Jeff recently
gave them, and trembled for what
was coming when he resumed his
seat in Congress. So there is still
another reason why the trusts should
be fabbergasted.

ARE SURPRISED TO LEARN.

1t is an encouragement to note the
fact that many of the. villainous Jim
crow laws passed by the crankey
boodlers of the Southern legislators
have not had the intended effect. The
reason is that the galoots nearly al
ways underrate the resources of the
Afro-American, of whom they pro-
TESS to know so much. Here's an in
stance quoted from the Philadelphia
Record:
Under the property qualification
clause of the new DISTINGUISHING
amendment passed by the Maryland
Legislature, and which will be sub
mltted to the voters at the next State
election, more Afro-Americans will
be entitled to the franchise than many
of the politicians supposed. They
have been surprised to learn that
they own property in Maryland as
sessed at over $3,ooo,oo0, including
$617,662 in Baltimore city"
1t must be noted that these very
fellows who "are surprised to learn
are the very ones who are always
Cabling about how much they know.
The fact is that they do not even
know they are lot of-fools.

Among the Artists Of Paris.
Paris, April 11.-H. O. Tanner, OF
New York, the painter of Biblical
scenes, has just finished the large
picture which he is to send to the
Salon des Artistes Francois, and
which measures no less than five me-
ters wide.
It represents the parable of the
Bible, "The wise and the foolish vir-
gins, and it's composition, while very
simple in it's arrangement and execu-
ton, does honor to the artist.
The general harmony of this paint
ing is most delicate in color and
light, and the movement of the figures
is true to life; the whole work is
carried out in a scale of mauve, blue,
and gold.

NOTHING new IN
INVESTIGATION
Charges Brought by Senator
Noel Same Old Campaign
Cries of Rhea-Walker
Contest.

The Investigation of the charges
against Judge Rhea, brought by Sem
ator Noel, of Lee county, has been in
progress all the week, and will,
probably be concluded today or at
least very shortly. The investigat-
ing committee ruled that the charges
should be specific, and not old gen
eralities and vague rumors. This rul-
ing has simplified matters, and will
hasten the conclusion of the investi-
CATION.
Up to yesterday nothing new had
been brought before the committee.
The charges embrace vague rumors
and old charges brought against
Judge Rhea heretofore, and investi-
gated by Republican Congress of the
United States, and dismissed. The
general impression prevails that the
investigating committee will eXhon-
crate Judge Rhea, and his appoint
ment be confirmed.

that he would return in a few days,
saying that he was going To Charles

To Norfolk. Not a word has been

tent, and was kind and Industrious.
His wife and three young children
are now living here, and have no

Editor G.. V. News:
hear so much said of the panic

it makes me tired, and if you publish
this il may make your readers tired,
but / will be short in giving my
views as TO the cause. First, most all
people have been living too fast for
their income, and many people have
been imprudent and will suffer the
penalty of it. Economy and self-de-
nial are not pleasant, but they are
most wholesome, and salutary for an
individual. We have been going too
fast. Some of us have been reaching
out too far, in other words, have bit
off more than we can digest. The
people will suffer some, no doubt,
but it will be well for them when
the game is out. Every one who re-
members the panic in 1898 might
have known that sheering time was
about here, but as far as the county
