LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE.

We see that Col. E. B. White, Of
Leesburg has announced his can
iidacy for congress in opposition to
Hon. C. C. Carlin, who has filled the
office most acceptaDly for several
terms. We have read the platform OF
Col. White closely and with much IT.
terest and notice what he would like
to accomplish. 1t makes good read
ing matter but will not get many
votes here. Every one knows that
when a new congressman is elected
it takes long time for him to learn
the ropes and tricks. Now Carlin
has been in Congress for long time,
is on important committees and has
been able to accomplish much Tor his
constituents as we'll as the Eighth
District. He was instrumental in hav-
ing the Key bridge bill put through
and work started at an early date,
and recently he had the ship build

Carlin has been easy to reach,
willing to help, true friend, and
now the people are going to return
that friendship by giving him tie
nomination and election to congress
again. Mr.. White, you have colossal
lob on your hands when you try TO
take Charlie Carlin's place away from

SEES DANGER OF RACE WAR.
Bishop Bashford Warns Churches
They Must Meet Crisis.

New York, Feb. 25.-1n spite OF the
world war, the Methodist Episcopal
Church will commemorate the centen-
nary of it's missionary work this year
by entering upon world program OF
missionary endcavor, according to a
statement made here last night by
Bishop James w. Bashford, of China.
clad our churches spent $4,000
600 in Russia during the last forty
years." democracy would have stood
firm in the crisis brought about oy
revolution" declared Bishop Bash
ford.
A vast responsibility rises before
us. We must first win the war, and
then win the world. Two great OBJ
stacles meet FISHERMAN militarism
and moral weakness. The first we
ere in fair way to solve, but the
second we still face. Half the world
reeds to be brought into line. A huge
possible race war is the alternative.
Il am not needlessly alarming.
Those of us who have studied condi-
tons over the world see it. 1t is Of
70 avail to declare such race war
impossible. Civilization thought such
a war as is at present going on out
Ct the question. With the colored
races now slightly outnumbering the
white races OF the earth, with South
America, one of the two great unoc-
cupied regions Of the earth, filling up
with mixed and white and color
&c population, with MALAYSIA, the 9TH
or great unoccupied region of the
Garth, filing up with oriental races
which will number 300,000000 or AGO.
100000 before the close Of the centu-
ry, who doubts that if the white races
continue to dominate every con-
nent by military power and to exclude
the yellow races from five Of the six
great continents and to limit their
countle,:s millions to portion of
Asia, there will arise race war in
comparison with which our present
struggle will prove a skirmish."

THE CASE OF FINLAND.

The attempts of the Firms 10 es-
tablish their liberty during present
conditions in Russia are being watch
oil with interest. The Christian her
aid contributes an interesting chapter
in the shape of the experience OF the
Firms for many years.
The Firms have always objected
to being classed as Russians. VI
Monaghan descent, they were among
the earliest of the Oriental races to
cross the Urals and descend upon the
fertile plains of Russia. They were
gradually driven to the inhospitable
north by successive waves Of lmml-
grafton. They are first cousins to the
Magyars of Hungary and distant
cousins of the Turk.
Like the Celts of Ireland, the rims
were never able to establish an lnde-
pendent state capable OF resisting the
external pressure Of Teuton, Slav ana
Turk. In the twelfth century they
were brought under the sway OF the
rcying Vikings. who organized a cru
SADIE to convert the heather Firms.

The fundamental laws Of the country
were officially recognized and con-
firmed by each succeeding autccrat,
although in recent years there hao
been much encroachmept on the
rights of the independent Films IN
the attempt at classification. For this
reason there has been great unrest
for more than two decades.
Until 1898 Finland had not been
REQUIRED to furnish soldiers for the
Imperial Russian Army. In that year
the Gar informed the Diet (Con-
gress) that the military service must
be made to conform to that OF the
rest of the empire. Finnish s,lscepti-

MAIDSTONE REDIVIVUS.

Two persons, one living in Lou
doun and the other in Fauquier coun-
IL. have recently been bitten by sup
pose.l mad dogs. In both cases the
victims repaired to certain Justice
of the peace in Loudoun who applied
the maidstone with results said to
have been satisfactory.
The maidstone was believed in half
century ago throughout a large
section of Virginia. There was one in
Albermarle county which had been
handed down from generation 20
generation. 1t was said that should
the stone fail to adhere. to the wound
this was prima facie evidence that
the cur which inflicted the bite was
not mad. If, however, it stuck and
was greenish when removed 1t show.
ed that the stone had extracted all
the poison from the party who had
been bitten.
The maidstone which is in requls'-
ton in Loudoun is one of three, now
in the Justices possession, which
were inherited by him from his father
TO whom they were given by an
uncle who brought them from India.
Dr. Houck OF. the U. S. Bureau
of Animal ;1ndastry, ,when& the use
of the maidstone was called to his az
tention: said its use is considered by
scientific men sort of superstition

Corporal Kings tongue was badly

ing found in eataibles here, although
many similar cases have occurred all
