he is something of a prophet as he

time. Mr., Bryan and Gov. johnson

ORTHODOXY AND GENIUS.

The smart set of the day tell us
that orthodoxy and genius" can't
dwell together in the same family.
We ere not surprised to hear If
since the richly endowed universities
Of the country have gotten to be hot
beds of infdeFty. The spirited
scholars sent oIt from their walls
have been taught that it is Just not
decent to fix the seals of their ap-
proval to grandma creed, and they
have yielded to the voices of their
teachers rather than to the voice of
the God Of the universe.
What better definition of genius
than this: Hard work." and what
OF orthodoxy than this: 'Soundness
OF fath'' and to say that work and
Iaith may not 90 together hand in
hand is sheer nonsense. The old.
old story, and to the winds with the
new f0uy.

Another butting in Of a stranger,

Why is it that these self-appointed

wade the New England States, and the
great state of Pennsylvania, and raise
their voices against the whitening eff

Is the solidity of the one the only

We are sick Of the stuff of these
imported Statesmenl?l, for we do not
forget we can not forget we don't
want to forget the revel, the riot nor
the ruin Of reconstruction days.
Blot out the amendments and then
talk to us Of divisions in the ranks of
the Southern whites. The South is
now peaceful, prosperous, progress

erican growth and glory, and will take
no step backwards at the suggestions

lose the dollars and cling closer to our
