WILL CONTEST.

The prohibitionists, or rather the
Auti-Saloon League, have given notice
that they will contest the recent local
option election held at Bristol, Va. The
chief ground for the contest is the
charge that 10 illegal or non resident
voters voted at the election. 1t is claim
ed that these voters had abandoned
their residence in Bristol, though it is
admitted that they had formerly voted
IN that city and had continued to claim
their residence and pay their poll taxes

Washington Herald.
1t Is an opinion frequently expressed
that American children as type" are
impertinent, lacking in respect for their
elders, and in need of discipline. An
investigation bearing upon this subject
has been made in 1000 public schools
scattered throughout the United States.
and some of its results have been re-
ported to the National Educational As
ISOLATION. Many teachers, in making
reports, criticise severely the home and
social life of families in their relation to
the training of children 1t seems su-
perfuous to point out that homes where
profanity, drunkenness, and vice pre-
vail act against every good influence Of
the school.
But simultaneously it is made to ap-
pear that the homes even of the pros
porous and the refined are not ALWAYS
conducive to the formation of strong
character. 1t is asserted that in such
homes discipline is lax and that children
place themselves on the 'same level
with their parents" This is one of
those attempts at criticising domesticity
that are Characteristic of amateur
sociology. What qualifications for
passing judgment upon the influences
of the family circle thrown around the
developing mental and moral elements
OF youth has a school-teacher presum-
ably unmarried? But aside from that
question, is it to be assumed that her
itage of i'll is to follow the phenomenon
of children who attain to the level that
permits familiar and confidential aaso-

citation with their fathers and mothers?
Ii seems a doctrine both radical and re-
pulsive that aspiring youth should be
denied the advantage of affectionate
and intellectual converse with the eld-
ers, whose agreeable duty it should be
to contribute every social encourage
ment and personal stimulus to the de-
veiopment of character. Sad. indeed.
would be the home whose children were
treated systematically as inferior be-
ings, unqualified to share in the unaf-
tected charms of the family circle. In
such a relation the fault of imperti-
hence could find no place. 1t would
seem that these forward critics have at
tackled a characteristic of American
home life that in reality merits praise
and encouragement. They may recall
that adult Teacher who saw in associa-
ton with children a glimpse of the
Kingdom of Heaven"

A CHAMPION DISSEMBLER.

The entire public life of Judge VIM.
Hodges Mann seems to have been
stamped with insincerity. How he
could have so thrived and fattened upon
it for thirty years, without before this
being called to account is extraordi-
nary.
His record as Confederate soldier.
given out by himself, discloses that he
was a "bomb-proof" during the war.
and that he was never in but one battle.
though he claimed to have participated
in the battle of Drewry's Bluff.
In the political world he began to play
the part of cunning dissembler in 1879
and 1880. 1t was then that he was pre-
tending to be a Funder Democrat and
was secretly supporting and aiding Cen
eral Malone in his effort to DESTROY the
Democratic party as it then existed in
Virginia.
Again. when he appeared in the politi-
cal field as member of the State Sen
ate, he essayed to play the double role
OF an honest representative of the peo-
pie and the Jealous employee of the cor
porations.
Present conditions prove that he has
not been sincere in his proclaimed
friendship for the cause of temperance.
Through his friends and managers he
has rallied to his support the saloon
keepers and the prominent liquor deal
ers of the cities. At the same time he
IS trying to corral the entire temper
ance vote through the influence and
support of the Anti-Saloon League.
When questioned as to his attitude on
the question of Statewide prohibition
he ensembles and evades by saving
when there is a contest between the
vets and drys always vote dry"
Why use words like these, if he is the
honest advocate of prohibition? Could
he not say 81 am for and will be for
Statewide prohibition whenever it is
an issue before the people" That
would be the way frank and manly
man would act and speak. No wonder
the liquor men curse and despise him,
though they have promised the machine
to support him. Great wonder, that
men who claim to be honest advocates
of temperance and prohibition will con-
tinue to stand by man who is the dual
candidate Of temperance and of the sa :
loon.
IN the matter of the Rhea investiga-
ton Judge Mann showed up in an unen-
viable and disgraceful dual capacity.
He sat as judge or juror in trial after
he had already publicly declared the ac-
cused was not guilty. And he mani
tested, by his every act during the in
vestigation, that he was a partisan de-
fender of an accused political ally and
not a honest juror seeking to develop
the truth.
The machine has selected a cham
pion dissembler as its candidate for
Governor. He is unique as a double
dealer and hypocrite.

There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be q consti-

constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

JONAH and THE SHARK,
Fish Found in the Mediterranean That
Gould Have GU'ped Down the
Prophet.

When a shark was killed near Mes
sina last winter and found to contain
human remains, The Landmark at
oace seized the report as tending to
confirm the Biblical narrative Of
Jonah.
Skeptics have said that the great
sea-monster, set down as a whale by
King James translators, could not
have been that, as whales throat
has meshes which will not let hu-
man body through. Sharks have not
generally been supposed to have the
capacity to swallow so much at a
time, but it is now demonstrated that
there are sharks of a size not dream
ed of in the average citizens philos-
ophy.
The London Lancet says that the
reports from Messina have been scien-
tifcaIly confirmed, with the startling
addition that the remains in the
sharks stomach included those OF
three persons-a man, woman, and
child. The Inference from expert
investigation is that the victims were
swallowed alive. The Lancet pro
ceeds to make the same application
of the horrible incident as The Land
mark suggested at the time when
the report was first printed:
Interesting as the above detail:
are to the nature student, they have
also been noted with satisfaction bJ
the theologian, who, whatever Other
difficulties may beset the narrative OF
Jonah and the sea monster (presum
ably shark rather than Whaie)
can appeal to the report of PROBES
sor Condoreli and Professor Parran
do as proving that capacity to swal
low and accommodate a human be
ing is not one of them!'
1t is now clear that there are shark
which can swallow man alive. Tha
much is settled in Jonah's favor
The next question is, can such sharl
reverse the process and perform al
equivalent feat Of vomition?-Nor
