'Behold the lilies of the field. They
toll not neither do they spin, yet Solo
mon in all his glory was not arrayed
like one of these"
There is soil in the South given to
the growth of the most exquisite lilies.
They are the marvel of the age, the
delight of all beholders. Once where
these now grow all was black and for
bidding, now all is "Lily White" Two
OF the most beautiful of this species are
the Luke Wright and the Jake Dick
inson. There are, however, other vari-
cites almost as beautiful. Unless the
first named varieties have been wholly
exhausted by the Government Botani-
cal Gardener, more of the same kind
may be found in Tennessee. In order
ing kindly mention the SPECTATOR.
The conviction of the Coopers was
not unexpected. The feeling against
them in Tennessee was very intense.
1t is remarkable they got off so easy.
But for our part we never saw much
weaker case made, or one worse hand
led by both sides. AS to Sharp it may
be said that his arrest and trial were
shameless. The arm of the law seems
to have been deliberately used to carry
out malice on the part of the prosecu.
ton, unless the evidence at this dis
lance was misstated. He, from the
evidence, had no more to do with the
killing than any other citizen of Nash
vile, and the prosecution knowing
what the witnesses would state, knew
it. With all due Difference to Senator
Carmack, we must say he had no more
business handling Col. Gooper's name
as he did, than to have rotten egged
him or his house. A mans name is his
property, and no man can despoil it,
1t may not be legally an offence fol
which to shoot, but Carmack knew the
risks and invited them.

THE NEW PASSENGER RATE.

The q cent rate for passenger service
fixed by the state corporation commits
sion for number of the leading rail-
roads of the state, is more in consonance
with present conditions than lower
rate, and we are very glad the commits
sion made the concession. We are
very well satisfied that the 2cent rate,
while fair at the time it was fixed, has
not been fair rate for the intervening
time since then, because of the great
falling off in traffic. The railroads
were forced to introduce economies that
were not consistent with the safest and
best service. Many of the roads re-
duced their track forces, and thereby
made it certain that track-eqnipment
should deteriorate.
The people of Virginia have no desire
to cut the earnings of the roads to a
point that will mean inferior equip
ment or service in any department.
Staunton Daily Dispatch.
We are certain our contemporary
voices its own sentiment when it says,
1--WE are very glad the Commission
made the concession" But when it
undertakes to speak for the people of
Virginia it simply talks through its
hat. 'sThe people of Virginia have no
desire to cut the earnings of the roads,
ETC." The people of Virginia are no
more the guardians of the railroads
than the railroads are the guardians of
the people, and we know how much
the railroads look after the peoples
interest. The people have not forgot
N the defiant attitude of the railroads
relative to this law, and the Corpora
ton Commission has put about mil
lion dollars of burden on the people by
entirely uncalled for and illconsid-
1..ed concession. The people are yet to
be heard from.

BOTH HOT AND COLD.

Various esteemed contemporaries in
the South, discussing the case Of Sec
rotary of War Dickinson, say that no
man can be democrat who has failed
to vote for Mr.. Bryan. On exactly the
opposite side, good many of us find
ii difficult to understand how man
who really is democrat ever could
have voted for Mr.. Byan, unless COM
PEELED by some special obligation
Richmond News Leader, Mar. 20.
Our valued contemporary may not
see how man could vote for Mr.. Bry-
an "who is really q Democrat. He
may say that boiling a national plat
form and national nominee intensi-
fies the party loyalty of the bolter, and
is the refinement of Democracy. He
may argue that man who thus bolted
is entitled TO more respect from his
party followers than one who submit
ted to the will of the majority. He may
reverse the scriptural idea that che
who is not for me is against me,o and
say that he who is against me is for
me, thereby solving the problem of be-
ing able to blow hot and cold in the
same breath, and yet he will hardly be
able to show Democrats that to defeat
their party was the best for the coun-
try, without being classed as an enemy
to the tenets of the defeated party. Mr..
Bryan and the Democratic party as ex-
listing may advocate some things all
Democrats do not relish, but they hold
to hundred others they do relish.
Those who leave their old party and
adhere to new party which has had
its life in social equality, and in South
ern hatred, and began its existence in
Southern destruction, in preference to
once by which Southern people would
be treated as human beings and citi :
zens of the nation, because, forsooth,
the party they leave advocated free
silver, certainly seem to put mon
ey higher in their creed than it
deserves, and have short memories, and
Abnormal lust for wealth. The Repub-
lican party of the South has been the
party of the negro and scallawag, it is
still formed much after those lines, if
the boilers deny their utilization. The
Democratic party has been the party
Of decency and the white man. If this
is to change and our national platforms
and national nominees are to be disre-
garded, and no obligation rests on orig
inal party followers to vote for either,
and the wisdom and decency of De-
mocracy leaves 1t, then those who like
Mr.. Dickinson are too virtuous and
conscientious to de aught but go into
the camp of the enemy, ought
to wear his livery, and not waltz
around hanging on to the tail of the q.
o. P. Elephant in Democratic garb.
This is all Democrats ask. The wreck
er of Democracy was the late Grover
Cleveland, from memorial of whom
a Republican president has just re-
turned, and which was attended by
everybody but Democrats. Beauty is
as beauty does, so is party utilization.
With due respect to Mr.. Dickinson we
cannot see how he squares his words
with his deeds.

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a blood or constitutional dis
ease, and in order to cure it you must
take internal remedies. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, and acts di-
rectly on the blood or mucus surfa-
ces. Halls Catarrh Cure is not a quack
medicine. 1t was prepared by one of
the best physicians in this country for
years and is regular prescription. 1t
is composed of the best tonics known,
bined with the best blood purifi-
ers, acting directly on the mucous sur
faces. The perfect combination of the
two ingredients is what produces such
wonderful results in curing catarrh.

THE TARIFF BILL.

The Tariff bill is before the public.
Last week we dilated upon the pros
pect of having four cent rate on cof-
fee. 1t had been promised, but the
nerve was wanting. The Republican
party failed to have the ssandu to put
it on. They chose TEA instead, and
whacked up great big tax on that
When the party of criminal waste
looked over their schedule they weak
ened on coffee, because the Coffee trust
has already put the price of coffee in
the United Stases higher than it is in
any country in the civilized world.
This is of course accounted for on sci
entific tariff principles, but it would
never have been worked through the
mullet heads of Americans SATISFACTORY
ly. The tariff fiXers arranged to let
Mr.. Morgan get his picture gallery in
free, as he gave handsomely to the
campaign fund last year. There are a
number of curious things in the bill
but Democrats need not worry about
trying to learn what they are. All
that they need do is to accept condi-
tions as they come, and get ready to
pay more taxes. The poor and the
helpless need never worry. 1t is the
only instance in which they are ever
like their rich neighbors. The rich
neighbor never worries about you, so
you need not worry about him. The
only thing that will strike the average
man is that all industries affected by q
reduction of tariff are going to be NOV

lumber is now to come from Canada,
likewise all the wood pulp. All the
