MILLEDGEVILLE, GA., SETTEMBER 18, 1883.
THE HOCTRINES OF THE FATHERS,
Our contemporary, uie Chronicle & Con
stitutionalist, published in its daily issue
nearly a column and a half which it co
pied from “Wide Awake,” Jefferson, Texas
in which the Editor "proposes to show
from the very highest authority, that the
Democracy has always maintained tb-
doctrine,” of encoui aging the productive
industries or the country. The Editor ol
that paper copies brief extracts from Gen
eral Washington's speech to Congress.
Dec. 7th, 1796; from Jefferson’s Message.
Nov. 8th, 1808; from Mr. Madison’s mes
sage, Feb. 18th, 1815; Mr. Monroe’s Inau
gural address, March 14th, 1817; Goner* 1
Jackson’s message in 1830, and Mr. Madi
son’s letter to Cabell In 1828. No one can
deny that at those early periods, it was
desirable to advance the manufacturing
interest of the country, by all legitimate
means, and, doubtless, It was deemed ad
visable in laying duties upon foreign
goods imported into this country, to sc
discriminate as to foster manufacturing
interests without imposing heavy burdens
upon the people, or depriving the govern
ment of the revenues necessary for its sup
port. That was the purpose to be effected
then and that is the purpose of the Dem
ocratic party now. If there ever was a
time when the manufacturers needed pro
tection it was then, when, in truth, the
manufacturing establishments were “in
fants,” as the manufacturers have so of
ten been pleased to term them.
If our Texas contemporary will examine,
critically, the acts of the fathers referred
to, ho will lind that in the first tariff in
General Washington’s administration, the
duties imposed, and to the close of his
administration, ranged from 10 to 20 per
cent. Up to the close of Mr. Adams’ ad
ministration they’ remained the same, arid
remained so until 1812, in Madison’s ad
ministration, when tho duties were
doubled, specific, minimum and ad valo
rem, 7% to 30 per cent. These duties were
known as the war duties (the war being
between the United States and Great
Britain.! The tariffites had the majority
and continued to increase the duties until
Mr. Clay and Mr. Calhoun concocted the
scheme of reduction of duties in March,
1833, by which the tariff was to be grad
ually reduced to 20 per cent. We need go
no farther than to say that Mr. Polk, in
stead of being a high tariff man, instructed
his Secretary of the Treasury, Hon. Robt.
J. Walker, to frame the celebrated low
tariff bill of 1840. Under the successive
Democratic administrations the duties
were constantly reduced, and when Mr.
Buchanan turned over the government to
Mr. Lincoln, the tariff duties avaraged
less than 20 per cent. The country', trade,
commerce and the condition of the people,
had never been so prosperous before as
during the period from 184G to the retire
ment of Mr. Buchanan from the Presiden
tial chair. It will be seen from the fore
going that Gen. Washington, Mr. Adams.
Mr. Jefferson, Mr. Madison and Mr. Mon
roe, all favored a low tariff. General
Jackson, though a hero and patriot, was
not a statesman in the full meaning of the
term and was greatly influenced by Mar
tin Van Buren, who, though a man ol
great intellect, was not a reliable states
man. Thin was shown by his joining the
abolitionists and suffering them to i uu him
for the Presidency after he had been ele
vated to that high station by’ the Demo
cratic party’.
We see how carefully the great men, to
whom the Texas writer refers, guarded
the constitution in their policy of protec
ting home interests. What a difference
there was between their protection and
that of the present day. They allowed
from 5 to 30 per cent duties averaging
about 22 per cent. The protectionists now
claim from 30 to 250 per cent averaging 45
per cent. The manufacturers were poor
in those early times, now, they are en
trenched behind a capital of nearly
$3,000,000,000, (three thousand millions of
dollars) and still put up the sickening cry
or “infants” pulling for the government
teats. Shame upon them! Shame upon
the government! Shame upon the new
light Democratic foster mothers! Guddlers
for the Republican protectionists!
THE VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS IN JAVA.
6000 feet above the sea. The hot rock#
thrown from it set the trees on lire and
burned them to the ground. The rushing
waves overwhelmed a large tract of coun
try’ and swept away houses, hamlets and
all vestiges of what had been a scene of
work and activity. A few flourishing cof
fee, rice, tobacco and sugar plantations ex
hibited scenes of utter destruction ard
ruin. The loss of life among the natives,
Chinese, Europeans and Americans, in Ba
tavia were about 30,000. Twenty or more
towns and villages were destroyed, some
others badly injured and the whole loss of
life is estimated at 75,000. Java and the
other Islands forming the Eastern Arclii-
peligo is believed to be the greatest centre
of the volcanic action of the globe. Noth
ing in any part of the world can compare
with this wonderful and disastrous volcan
ic catrastrophe in the Island of Java.

BISHOP BECKWiTH.
THE ELOQUENT DIVINE’S
SPLENDID SERMON OF
SUNDAY.
The Credibility of Miracles—A Beautiful
Discourse Argumentative of the Pow
ers of the Divine Master and a Re
monstrance Against the Grow
ing Infidelity of the Times.
Correspondence of the Chronicle.
Atlanta, Ga., September 10.—The an
nouncement that Bishop Beckwith would
preach a sermon at St. Phillips Church
yesterday on the “Credlbilty of Miracles”
drew an overwhelming attendance at that
beautiful church. The aisles were filled
with chairs. The services were unusually
interesting, the music being perfect. This
sermon Bishop Beckwith preached in Chi
cago to an immense congregation ana it
created a profound impression.
I do not think it an exaggeration to say’
that Bishop Beckwith is tho finest pulpit
orator in the South, aud I do not believe
that lie lias a superior North. He has ev
ery quality and possession of the orator.
He has a noble physical presence, a figure
like an Antinous, tho carriage of a soldier,
a handsome benign face, a voice of mar
vellous compass and flexibility, graceful,
strong gesticulation, blended force and
feeling, fluent and powerml style, dramat
ic thought, poetic conception, a finished
yet nervous eloquence, ana that thrilling
capacity of climaxing that is tho test of
great oratory, and marks tiie line of dis
tinction between good speaking and tiie
divine genius of the eloquent.
In addition to these qualities of the ora
tor, Bishop Beckwith has a powerful and
original mind and strikes out new and im
pressive lines of thought and rich veins of
intellectual inquiry’. He held that vast
congregation in enraptured attention. His
fervid reasoning welded the interest of his
hearers, until charmed and absorbed, they
hung intensely’ upon his massive and heat
ed words. Tiie services were three hours
in length, and his sermon extended over
an hour and a half, but the interest of his
congregation never wavered, and when he
closed the great gathering silently dissolv
ed away in that sort of exaltation of tho
mind and soul that an uncommon exhibi
tion of soulful eloquence always produc
es, and which is the highest tribute to the
orator.
The subject he discussed is intrinsically
and mysteriously attractive. It concerns
matter that appeals powerfully to the sen
sibilities of the soul, and involves the most
dramatic problem of human concerns.
His treatment was pre-eminently power
ful and daringly’ bold. It involved a
strangely strong line of argument, thor
oughly’ orthodox, yet strikingly novel.
There was a pervading reverence through
the whole marvellous exposition, aud an
intense purpose was evident to sustain the
orthodox truth. Yet the method was
startlingly original, and the line of argu
ment magnificently impressive.
I cannot give you the sermon in its en
tirely, and any synopsis would do it injus
tice, and yet I cannot refrain from present
ing a skeleton of it.
The Bishop opened with a quotation from
Lord Bacon’s “Student’s Prayer” that
his mind should suffer no incredulity to
wards Divine mysteries from the kindling
of sense and natural light. He alluded
to tiie powerful influence of the tendencies
of the age in disturbing our judgment, and
bringing so many minds into antagonism
to tilings miraculous and sympathy only’
with things rationalistic. This part of the
sermon w'as profoundly impressive and
•rat, of St. Louis, is recovering from his discussed ably tho “tyranny of what is
recent dangerous illness, aud is, compar
atively speaking, on a fair way to good
health again.
The Postmaster of Sandersville is a very
worthy gentleman; but he is remarkable.
For twelve years he has not drank any wa
ter, and does not use intoxicating bever
ages. Now and then he drinks a little cof
fee, but never water.
Those who love to see others beat and
mangle each other in prize-fights, and call
it manly sport, will regret to learn that
called tiie spirit of the age.”
It may be proper to say that the very
vitals of this great sermon was a splendid
and unanswerable protest and plea against
the prevaling unchristian thought of the
day as experimental audacity’ of modern
scientific investigation.
The text of the sermon was taken from
Acts, chap. 26, v. 8.; “Why should it be
thought a thing incredible with y T ou that
God should raise the dead?”
The very text, the utterance of the Apos
tle, takes for granted tho existence of a
the Kansas authorities have successfully j God, omnipotent, omniscient, omni-pre-
| is none the less possible. Why should It
| be thought incredible for God to raise tho
1 dead? If He can build up a man by using
the forces of nature He can rebuild a man
after his body has returned to its original
elements. The rebuilding is resurrection.
It is not incredible that God should raise
the dead. And yet this resurrection is tne
fundamental fact upon which Christianity
rests.
Tne eloquent Bishop built a mathemat
ical demonstration of logical closeness and
power. As he got to tiie end his words
came with an increased intensity of feeling
and argument. He drew a fervid picture
of the influence of that Divine Christ and
his miraculous resurrection upon history
and mankind for 1850 long and eventful
years. He made a startling point upon
the fact that the cases of raising the dead
were instances of recent death, where the
body had not passed away, but the more
marvellous promise was given us that the
final resurrection was to be of dissolved
and scattered bodies of innumerable centu
ries. Concluding with thrillingly impres
sive soiemity, ho thus spoke:
Marvel not at this, for the hour is com
ing in which all that are In the graves
shali hear His voice and shall come forth :
they that have good, unto the resurrection
of life: and they that have done evil, unto
the resurrection of damnation.”
Reading over my’summary of this grand
sermon I feel how inadequate is my’ at
tempt to portray it. It must be given in
its entirety, with all of its links of logic
and color of illustration, and with the ora
tor’s imperial eloquence, to put it with
proper effect. No cold and imperfect syn
opsis can do it justice. And yet it deserves
warm mention as an earnest and potential
remonstrance and argument against tiie
growing infidelity of the times.

Nothing in tho history of Nature’s con
vulsions however, or wherever, they may
have been viewed in awful wonder and ad
miration, can compare with the terrific
scenes recently displayed in the Island of
Java, one of the group of islands in the
Eastern ArchipeJgo. It was sublime, ter
rible and tragic. We have allotted some
space to say more about them than we
could in brief allusions in our last issue.
We refei to them again, because it was the
most sublime and appalling disaster in the
history of the world. The inhabitants of
the town of Batavia, in Java, were star
tled on Saturday night, the 25th of Aug
ust, by deep and constant rumblings which
proved to have issued from tiie Island of
Krakatoa, which is situated at the neck of
the strait of Sunda, between Sumatra and
Java, distant about 15 miles from Batavia.
It was supposed to bo caused by a volcano
in that island and no fear was excited as
it was fifteen or twenty miles distant. But
soon red hot rocks and ashes fell in several
villages on the Javan coast; and in Bata
via, the capital, rocks and ashes fell du
ring the night and it was difficult to keep
the street lights burning. By tho next
morning tiie town of Angier was cut off,
the hot rocks and ashes making the road
between it and Batavia impassable. On
Sunday morning tiie waters of the strait
■were boiling and hissing violently, and
even as far as Madura, more than five hun
dred miles from Batavia the hot waves
came roiling in, and by noon on Sunday,
the Maha Mura, the largest volcono ir. Ja
va, was throwing up rocks, ashes and
flames at an alarming rate. The Gunning,
whose crater is about four miles in diame
ter, and many smaller mountains about
fifteen in number, wpre in active eruption.
Just before night on that day (Sunday) a.
bright und fiery cloud spread over tiie
Gunning crater and the crater vomited
vast streams of lava and awful explosions
succeeded each other, tin owing immense
rocks into tiie air, covering the valleys aud
carrying death and destruction to people
and everything in their range. Fifteen
^ water spouts wore soon visible pouring
their destructive waves upon the land and
destroying men, women and children, who
were shieking with fright and despair and
endeavoring to escape. Thousands were
killed by their houses falling upon them,
or were buried beneath hot falling nicks
and ashes. Great chasms of earth opened
and thousands were hurled into them by
the waves aud buried upon tiie spots where
they were a little befoie living in peace
and happiness and fancied security. The
hissing of the sea was so loud as to deaf
en tho people. On Monday morning it was
seen that large tracks of land had disap
peared, covering an extent of 50 miles
square, carrying whole villages and all
their inhabitants beneath tho overwhelm
ing waters. Fit teen to twenty thousand
souls had perished. The Handaug range of
mountains for sixty-five miles in length
had disappeared and where they stood the
sea had flowed in, Monday night three
distinct columns of flame arose front the
volcano of Fapnudoyang and its whole sur
face was covered with streams of fiery
lava and stones were scattered around for
miles and the black fragmentary lava car
ried upward caused total darkness, and to
add to the horrors of the night a whirl
wind aroso which destroyed houses and
carried human beings, horses and troes
into the air.
Suddenly tho scenes changed, tho moun
tain split into seven parts and where it
stood, alone, in a few minutes seven dis
tinct peaks loomed up to a great height.
But there was another scene still more as
tonishing: On Tuostdry"morning fourteen

A strong analogy was used. Look at
the power of man over the forces of na
ture. What wonderful things human in
genuity has dono by simply using these
forces of nature, sometimes applying them
together, sometim* s in antagonism to each
other. The using the power of heat on
water, producing steam and using the
steam in propelling machinery are in
point. Men violate no law, suspend no
law and invent no new law in their integ
rity. Tho steam engine, the electric tele
graph are marvels of human skill, only
applying in a now way nature’s forces. If
man can do this cannot God do it. If not{
wiiy not?
“Tiie intemperate winds lash and tor
ment the sea till its hoary waves rise in
their wrath and with loud thunderings
rush upon the land as if to drown and de
stroy, and yet in each tiny’ drop of water
there is a mighty power at work, strug
gling with the storm, binding the waters
down and in tiie still small voice of gravi
tation speaking ever, ‘hitherto shalt thou
come, but no further, and here shalt thy
proud waves be stayed?’ ”
The electric telegraph was likened to
that beautiful and wonderful animal the
teipedo fish, which has 940 hexagonal col
umns in its battery, liko those of a bee’s
comb, and eacli of these is sub-divided by
a series of horizontal plates which appear
to bo analogous to tiie plates of a voltaic
pile. This natural electric battery is au
example of God’s power, which man has
imitated.
Let any man study “tho way of an ea
gle in the air’—“a machine of marvelous
construction with every’ appliance necessa
ry to utilize, combine, oppose and thus
control the forces of nature, so that he can
make that ‘scythe like swoop of wings,
that dare the headlong plunge through
eddying gulfs of air,’ and with Job, he
will exclaim, ‘lie doeth great things past
finding out, yea, and wondrous without
number.’ ”
The skill of the Divine Master in the
wondrous structure of man was powerful
ly prosented. While the life is in it, the
forces of nature are controlled in their
marvellous combinations. Remove the
lire, and tho forces cf nature destroy the
body. Trace him back till you reach the
first protoplasmic cell, a minute particle
of matter in which moves this mysterious
life. Tins protoplasm is identical with
every other animal or vegetable. See how
wonderfully God works. The life in the
cell grows bones with polished joints,
fastened with ligaments, covered with
flesh, wrapt with nerves, a net work of
veins, here and there a mighty artery, a
heart that speeds the life blood every
where, a skull, eyes marvellously sensi
tive to light, a tongue with vocal chords to
syllable thought, and within the skull a
royal throne, whereon sits and rules a
kingly mind.

Don’t lose your grip, my boy! Hold on

There are times in tiie life of every man, I
suppose, when he wonders if life is worth
living; when he balances the good aud evil
in this world, tho pain and pleasure, the
wrong aud tiie justice, the happiness and
the suffering, aud despairingly thinks the
black side is the broadest, and there isn’t
enough good in life to make it desirable.
He thinks “tho earth is given into the
hands of the wickedhe sees that “man
is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly up
ward.” “The wicked live, become old, yea
are mighty in power,” while wisdom cri-
eth in the streets, homeless as a tramp and
friendless as a last year’s candidate; he
sees the wicked man spread himself like a
green bay tree with a home in town, a cot
tage at Cape May and a shooting box in
the mountains and only pay thirty cents
on the dollar, while honest industry pays
cash for his hickory shirt and overalls aud
digs in tiie street for $1.50 a day. Then
there is a little struggle, and if he is a man
wortli living, he Is going to live. If ho
has a manly belief in life and its responsi
bilities, if lie has a manly faith that he
was put on this planet witli a mission no
bler than his back and stomach, destiny
beyond two changes of raiment and three
meals a day, he will face his troubles like a
man, and buffet them aside liko the waves
of au angry stream, though year after
year they double and beat and break upon
him. He grows into a giant while he faces
them; he developes a rugged grandeur
ot manhood, and he will not measure life
by the narrow boundaries of the cradle and
the grave.
A man should be the best judge of his
own worth, and when lie kills himself, he
must know whether or not he didn’t need
killing. He must know, especially if he
be a young man, that killing was about all
ho was good for. Suicide is a cowardly
way of gettingyid of life’s duties and re
sponsibilities and labor. A Brutus would
fall upon his own sword, rather than en
dure the contempt of a victor, the disgrace
of an enemy’s triumph. But a Beecher,
facing a triai that would appal the soul of
a man of iron, lives grandly on, without
turning away his face or swerving one foot
from his path; lives to finish his work, to
see his enemies scattered and humbled,
while his whitening hair covers his old
temples with honor. My, boy, your bur
den will never bo so heavy that you can
not hear it. When it weighs beyond your
strength it will be taken away from you,
or you will be taken away from the bur
den. But don’t throw it down by throwing
yourself away.
I think I never but once,thought life was
too grievous to be lived any longer. The
dark thought, a blight of wickedness, came
into my soul one day, when I was half-way
up tho gloomy stairway that led to a den
tist’s hospitable parlor. I believe the rest
of the way up that stairway of groans I
wanted to die. And when the dentist, after
a careful examination of the semi-circle of
anguish that pervaded my mouth, told me
he would have to extract three and fill
eight, I felt that if I died In that chair all
the martyrs who had sung their trium
phant way to deatli in the hungry flames,
in tho cages of wild beasts, in prison dens
and at the edge of the sword, would get
out of the way and hide and cover their
abashed faces when they saw me coming.
Honestly, my boy, that is about the way
I felt. But after all, my martyrdom did
not amount to much. Thousands of com
mon place people endure more suffering
every day than you and I have passed
through in all our lives. Be brave, my
boy. Look your troubles in the face;
measure them by the sufferings of tho ear
ly Christians, and you'll be ashamed to
grumble or groan.—Burdette.
ONLY ENJOYING THEMSELVES.
Dublin Post: The truism that “when a
man and his wife quarrel tiie stranger
should fly," was beautifully illustrated in
the upper part of Laurens a few days ago,
A young negro was on his way to church
to stimulate his system with a little gos
pel truth, and ivlien nearly opposite the
palatial abode of aebony-liued brother he
heard a woman shriek “murder! Lord
A’mighty, murder!” so wildly that his
curls stood on end. Rushing to the house
from whence the voice issued the negro
pushed open the door and found the owner
sitting straddle the body of his wife while
he drilled knowledge into her head with a
smoothing iron.
Thinking it his duty to interfere, he
caught the wife beater by the neck, pulled
him to his feet, hit him on the jaw, and
was in the act of kicking him out of the
door when tho devoted wife arose to her
feet aDd emptied a dish of boiling water
on the intruder’s head, and while he danc
ed in search of the door, she.kicked him in
the stomach with both feet, put a crimp
iu each ear with a piece of stove wood,
scratched one of his eye brows off and
broke a stool over his backbone. “Dar,”
said she standing before the intruder with
arms akimbo, “mebbe you won’t ’eturb
’onest people eny mo’ when dey Is ’joying
demselves!” This is actually said to be
true.

At a negro baptizing the other dav, a
slim preacher took a iat sister down ‘into
the murkey waters of a bayou. Just as
he dipped her under the water she slipped
from his grasp and glided under the root
of a large cypress tree, from which sad
entanglement it was impossib’e to extri
cate her until life was extinct. The
preacher, without the slightest show of
embarrassment, raised his hands and turn
ing to the crown exclaimed :
“The Land gibbeth an’ de Lawd taketh
away, blessed be de name ob de Lawd.,,
Dat’s all right so fur as de Lawd’s con-
sarned,” replied tiie drowned woman’s
husband, “but what’s 1 gwine ter do? 1
ain’t got no ’jection to de Lawd takln’ her
away ef lie vides me wid anodder wife
’bontde same size.”
‘De Lawd knows his own business,’ said
the preacher.
‘But dat ain't de pint,’ persisted the hus
band. ‘I wants a wife, an’ wants her right
heah. Yerse’f tuck dat ’oman inter de wa
ter, an’ l’se gwine ter hole yerse’f ’sponsi

wife, an’ if at the eend ob dat time you
ain’t done made de ’rangenients I’ll maul
yer till yer couldn’t baptize a cat. Does
yer heah?”
The preacher reflected a moment and ad
dressing a sister said: ‘Sister Kate, ter
keep down a ’sturbanee won’t yerse’f mar
ry ae gen’JemaD?’
The sister agreed that immediate matri-
my was somewhat in her line; and then
