Well, wc can then tell who la the true tftcr-dlnuer speaker nnd who hat to be llrod by artificial wit.—Clarkeavllle Advertiser. Thlt Is undeniably true.

Let us explain It by the fact that their harmonious deliberations are not complicated by oontroveralea with John Sharp Williams and Vardaman. The Atlanta Georgian dolefully complained several days ago that "at preaent the Democratic party la doing nothing: not a confer ence ot leaders has been held." Hut since that gloomy hour Hoke Smith. Reporter Smith, tyllly Hardwick and Tom Watson ttfive mat—at the latter's home. No doubt plana were laid to save the country again. The Georgian should cheer up.—Macon Jele- graph. Wc at least see no reason to bo de pressed over • meeting ot three Geor gians so able and so honest ns these. John Temple Oravea atlll has no apology to make for his Chat tanooga speech; nor Mr. Bryan for bin declaration that It the Democrats ere to nominate a Re publican tor president it should be Senator LaFollelte. He does, not say who It should be If the party goe. lata the Populist ranks for a candidate: but we suppose he thinks that would bu too deli cate a matter for him. to touch upon.—Wilmington Star. Mr. Bryan, we feel sure, will do whatever Is right and honeat nnd pa triotic. He has never failed along these Hue*. If Bryan la not nominated for preeldent. who will be? The Democrats may have to take the advice of John Temple Graves, and make the choice of Roosevelt unanimous. That would leave Tom Watson nnd hla Independ ent-Union party out In the cold. The Populists have a long nnd walling light before them, and the end of the wait may never come.—Fort Gaines Sentinel. In oar opinion tho Populists have fought tfcclr battle and practically wvn It. Not by direct victory hut by the peaceful line of educating tho De mocracy to their views. Lloyd at Kimball.

No editorial which has recently appeared in The Georgian has met more general approval nnd Indorsement than that which dealt with the conservatism of reform. Tho Georgian takes the ground that when the people nre apathetic and Indifferent under the existence of abuses, tbo agitator has hla mis sion and the radical hla duty In urging them to comprehension and to action. But balanced against this an equal duty resting upon good men when the people are aroused and In the saddle, Is to see that they do not ride too fast and too furiously for the public safety under the spur of demagogy or the whip of selfish interests. There are great forces moving now In tHe republic, both for action and restraint. The reform movements of the time are clear, definite and resolute. No man can mistake them either In their present purposes or In their future resolutions. Within the lost six weeks certain great forces, journalistic and personal, hevo been moving* toward a modera tion of the remedial legislation against the railroads. Journals of the ex cellent repute of The Manufacturers' Record tnd others have been pro- testing their apprehension that the remsdlal legislation was going too far and becoming oppressive to the corporations and obstructive to growth and progress particularly In the South. It Is always wise to listen to honest and Intelligent men upon what ever opinion they may express. It Is an ancient and well accepted axiom to give every man thine ear If few thy voice, and ife can not do less than hear and consider the well-meant, warnings which come to us from these conservative sources. Moreover, it Is the part of wisdom upon those who seek a permanent reform to consider duly whether any legislation or execution Illustrated in these limes has In it an element of injustice to the corjioratlons. We x can no more afford to be unjust to the corporations, who are themselves .among the people, than wo can afford to be unjust to the people. We can not afford to build with any hope of permanency along any line that Is not wise and equitable and fair. But there is always danger In reactions. They are almost Invariably prone to go backward further than they Intend and In tho spirit ot con servative action we are always in peril of drifting back to the same apathy and Indifference out of which we came. This matter of remedial legislation and Its limitations rests as much with the railroads as with the people and their representatives. The lieoplc nre no longer asleep and are no longer Ignorant. They know what tlioj want and they arc moving definitely and resolutely toward It. Tho railroad.) also know what the people want and demand, and we do not hesitate to say that It will be the part of wisdom for the railroads to meet this demand in a fair and leasonable comprehension of the pow er of tho peopln to enforce their demands. To apeak frankly and as fairly as we know how to speak, the Im pression Is left upon our minds that the . railroads are fighting not wisely and not altogether fairly against the popular demands. In many Instances, one of which we gave on yesterday, they are seeking to defy or to avoid tho expression of the popular will and these instances are calculated to Inflame the people to more rlgoroua demands rather than lo more conservative consideration. The railroads must res olutely make up their minds to tho fact that the public Is not willing for them to earn lavlah dividends upon watered stock. The people are reso lutely set against putting premiums upon (he watered itock of corpora tions. There Is no need to elaborate this phase of tho situation. The railroads know what the people mean and the people know whnt they Intend to secure. We hold that no talk of moderate reform Is either possible or practical until tho railroads uqd tho corporations mnlre plain that they understand nnd recognise this demand. Upon their fair and honest Invcstnirfits nobody in this broad land begrudges them reasonable anil abundant profits. The public loves to see them prosper. They are willing to see them grow rich by every fair means, but tt Is a waate of , lirenth and a needless sawing of tho nlr for railroad organa or ultra-con servative publicists to talk ot a let-up in this reform movement until the great corporations have recognized the' popular ultimatum against being taxed for tho revenues of watered stocks. The Jieoplo from Dan to Beeraheba are convinced that they are partners In these great public enterprises, that tjioy aro entitled to con sideration, nnd they Intend to have It. And whenever tho corporations and those who represent them are ready to treat upon .this plane w4 arc thoroughly convinced that the people, who have nover tailed to show themselves Just and fair, will meet them half way and Illustrate the magnanimity which has always been characteristic of the American people.

' Leaven THE SOCIAL TEMPEST IN VIRGINIA. Whoa John C. Calhoun and bis family relaxed to accord social rec ognition to Andrew Jackson's Peggy O'Neal, the act was applauded by most of the proper people of the republic, but It coet the groat Caro- llulan the presidency of the United Btates. The relentless Jackson never forgave him and remembered it all too well In a succeeding campaign for the presidency. The matter Is not qufto so Important, but It It still not a little In teresting to note the eoclsl battle that is being waged between Director General narr and President St. George Tucker and the other officers ot the Jamestown Hxposltlon. What's tho matter with Barr that he Is not fU to receive and enter tain the distinguished guestB who come to the Jemestown Exposition? Let us concede that the director general may not be to the manor born, and that his manner! lack something ot tho fineness and pollah ot President Tucker with the blue blood of Virginia In his scholarly veins. But even at that Director General Barr has been for many years a man or wealth and of Importance. He has dealt In large affaire. He has mingled with prominent people in and out of the great metropolis ot the country, and if he could not be a Chesterfield amoag the effete no bility of Europe or the "Trust, Nnbobs" of America, ho Is capable at least of bearing himself with a proper degree of courtesy and considera tion to the people, more or lest elegant, who come ,to the metropolis of Hampton Roads. We make bold to say that the distinguished visitors to Jamestown have met many a worse man than Barr and have been entertained by many a rougher boat than he. We are willing to guarantee that hit manners are at least as good aa were tboee of Andrew Johnson and ot Abraham Lincoln and of Oeneral Grant, who were presidents of the United States from a low estate of birth. We are disposed to think that Dlrcetor General Barr has stretched Ills vigorous legs under the hospitable mahogany of many of the rich est men in New York and lu other cities. And we are inclined to feel that our ever-charming and gracious friends ot tidewater Virginia are over-estimntlng the expectations of the illustrious If they think that every foreigner expects to And an P. P. V. la every host that he meet! in the Old Dominion. There is hot likely to be left any doubt that the withdrawal of this rich and vigorous, business man from tho affairs of an already trembling exposition will sjieedfiy be felt In tho. locket nerve of the jBtnostown Pair. And, reasoning, perhaps from a fallacious standpoint of dlstanco and absence, we can not fail to think that it might bavo been a bet ter and wiser plan for the elegant gentlemen who made up the earliest management of the Jamestown Exposition if they had carried Director General Barr upon the flawing tide ot their own grace and hospitality. Meanwhile it is thoroughly Virginian to fling a great stake away upon a social question, and to preserve the traditions of ancient ele gance at the expense of modern and practical success. Let us hope that the director general during his brief tenure ot office has so far Improved tho finances and untangled the problems of the ex position that It can float serenely under the gentle Tucker and the cbivalric Sheppcrd until the November dars bring it to tt close. was th, symbol of • corruption nnd could not he employed. We re* from the twelfth and thirteenth chapters of Exodus that leaven, or ferment, was not only forbidden si this supper, but It wns not to be seen In nil their quarters during the seven days of the fonst. the |>ennlty for disobedience be ing "that soul should be cut off tnnn the congregation of Israel." Christ was a Jsw nnd observed the law to the letter. Can It be He made an excep tion here? 80 far as Methodists are concerned, our discipline teaches us to use the unrermented wine, nnd for those who don't understand the art of preparing and preserving same, the following recipe le appended: Should It not be practical to prepare It at home, unfermented grape Juice can be used with safety. The Juice of tho grope should be heated to the boil ing point and put In slr-tlght Jars, like canned peaches. If sugar Is preferred, a quantity sufficient In dost an egg 1s used, and when the wine Is opened di lute with water. Of course, a Jar can t be exposed to the air Indefinitely, as It will spoil. I hope our people will take the pains to Inform themselves and see that we can celebrate the Lord'e supper with out breaking the law. Let us not ask that we be allowed to use at the Lord's table that which we deem unfit and dangerous elsewhere. Yours for the enforcement of the prohibition law to the letter. G. D. STONE.

When you sqy, as you have said just now. thnt you believe me guilty of that chwardly prime, you subject me to a horrible injustice. But I can hardly believe. In sptta of your words, that you really, In your heart, suspect me of such nn net, Miss Creswell. No, I can not credit It." -My opinion as to that can matter very little to you one way or other." Ethel Creswell answered In great agl- tntion. "But even you must admit, surely, that It waa a cruel thing to marry Sylvia Thurston without telling her'the story of your past, anad thus giving her the chance at least of with drawing from the engagement If ehe wished to do eo, knowing who you real ly were." "Perhaps you are right; let us say you are perfectly right, Mlse Creswell," can pot know how longed for her love! You can not know how degraded I felt whenever the remembrance of that nightmare epi sode returned to me. "I could not tell her; I tried to do •o once or twice, but I could not. I could not run the risk of loeing her; It wae more than fieeh and blood could do. Then I said to myself that the pnst was dead and gone with *Dr. Newell,’ and thnt It never could by any chance be revived, and I endeavored to forget all about It, or to think of It only ae some terrible dream from rthlch I had awakened.

October pasted away In a whirl of storm and rain, and dark November came In, with Its gloomy days, lie gathering clouds, Its vole* of wrath and sorrow walling nnd shrieking In the wild winds that beat at the etralnlnx windows of The Hollow, and died away, like the mooning of lost splrlin. A settled depression had fastened upon Sylvia Thurston since Monica Penrd's return to her own home In the second week of October, and Mrs. Thurston and the Judge became at times seriously alarmed as to their daughter's health. Sylvia seemed to have lost all spirit and animation. She rarely stirred out of doors note and her husband had almost abandoned hla efforts to Induce her to accompany him In his walks and drives. She spent the gloomy November days In her 6wn rooms as a rule, most fre quently In a small boudoir which ad joined her dressing room, and from the window of which a glimpse of the lake wns obtained, Sylvia would recline In a low chair by this window for hours at a time, gaslng upon the stormy, livid lake, lined with yeaety foam—upon the Met yellow leaves Hying wildly from the bare branches of the tregs—upon the flocks of birds that whened und screamed In the wintry light. Sometimes Carl Mueller Joined Ills wife here of nn afternoon, but somehow conversation between them always be came constrained and embarrassing it such -times. Mueller had grdwn careworn nnd haggard; he looked like a man whose mind was crushed continually beneath some secret burden, and, although Byl- ' via fully perceived this, she could not bring herself to question her husband na to what this haunting anxiety ac tually was.

During the previous months Ruth's state had resembled death In all ways save thnt n faint breathing was per ceptible—although, Indeed, It was so feeble at times that It was only by- placing a mlrroi; over the mouth nnd observing the cloud of molature on the surface that t on# could be certain of any respiration whatever. The limbs were relaxed, as a rut", but nt rare Intervals convulsive spasms occurred. The eyelids were closed, and attempts to open them were usually resisted. When opened, however, the eyeballs were turned upward, the pupils dilated, and It was almost impossible to ascer tain whether tho mental functions were In complete abeyance or Whether any consciousness remained. For the greater part of the time swal lowing had been Impossible, and food and stimulants could only be given by injections. Partly Awaks. But toward the close of October the trance sleep became occasionally less { irofound, and once or twice Ruth par*- y nwoke and wo* enabled to take nourishment In a concentrated form ere she again relapsed Into stupor. "I wish you would come upstairs and Jook at Ruth," Sylvia said to her hue- lmnd on more than one occasion. ‘ should like to know what you think of her nppearnnee now. Carl. You have not «een her for such a long time, and you could therefore notice a change better than I could.” . . But Mu oiler was not to ba persuaded.
