Pulpit Sensationalism.
The subject is one that has been written,
aixiut and talked about for some years
pawl -ever eince, in fact, it made its ap
pearance but it goes on, just the same,
and, if anything, seems to tie getting
worse all lite time. It has grown to suca
worm all the time. It has grown to such an
i-xtent that where a sensational pulpiteer
plain, but earmet and eloquent man of
God to get a bearing. The people Hock to
bear tiie sins.itionalist, leaving only the
regular members of the different congre
gations to encourage their pastor with
their presence. And, in the height of im
pudence, the down who “outdraws” them,
plume* himself on his drawing powers,
ami ridicule the dignified and earnest
preachers of ('.oil’s gospel for their failure
to draw an he does. He lias the impudence
to tell them it is because they don’t tell
th<> truth, that they' are afraid to speak,
out.
Ah a matter of fact, they are no more
afraid to speak the truth than he is. but
it hey may prefer to go in person to the
erring mi miter of their (lock or to some
one without the fold and in a quiet, gen
tle fatherly or brotherly sort of way, try
to influence him to do better. In their
pulpit they ex|M>und God’s law as it is
writen, and they endeavor to picture the
le-autits and benefits of a C-ristian life
and of a life hereafter, or they tel! of the
horrors and consquenees of sin. Os the
Moores of preachers in 'Macon, we don’t
believe there is one who Is afraid of any
body, or who would compromise the truth
for the rake of his position- though the
majority of them we believe, prefer to cor
tas t evil in the way suggested above. They
are Christian men, earnest, honest, faith
ful pastors who have the confidence of
their congregations and the respect of
•their fellow citizens.
Ami yet not one of them, not the meet
t-.irne.st. and eloquent of their number, can
hold forth against the modern ’’vaudeville
preacher,” who sets up across the way.
Tin 1 mountebank 'will draw ten 'hearers to
bls one, and get a thousand dollars for
something or other where the other can't
raise SSO for home mission work. Why is
this so?
We very much fear that the fault is
with the public itself. People clamor ifor
the sensational. The one who gives it to
them gets their ear.
Those who go to hear these sensational
ists would hate to admit it, but they go to
■appease their appetites for sensation. To
ix> sure. it is not the power and eloquence
of the mountebank that attracts them. Fey
of them possess these gifts. It Is not to
hear the beauties of Christ’s religion told
of; they have heard all that before, and
far better ptrt. It is not for the good they
get out of it; for they go away night after
night with no other impression on their
minds except that something either very
(sensational or humorous has been said. No,
they go because there is something in
them that desires the sensational, the
novel, tjie extreme, and there they get it
until they are surfeited.
It is pretty much the same with Journal
ism. That which is sensational always
finds more readers than that which is
beautiful or good or true. A column arti
cle in tomorrow's News telling of some
'happy event in rhe domestic life of one
of our citizens, say the account of a silver
wedding, how two well mated souls have
passed twenty-five milestones on their
Journey through life, without, a serious
cross or care to mar their happiness, how
they have been useful to the cemmunity
and helpful to their fellow beings, how
noble children have blessed their union,
nnd how friends and neighbors gathered
■to do them honot—all painting a happy
moral in domestic life—would not find fif
ty readers outside of the Immediate circle
of the couple alluded to. But just devote
the same «i»aee to a domestic scandal,
giving all the sad details of the affair,
<and we would 'hardly be able to supply
the demand for “extras." It is on the
same principle that a sheet that is given
to relating all the scandals of a communi
ty finds readier sale than the reputable
newspaper that suppresses them as far as
Sts duty to the public will allow.
It is on the same principle that “vaude
ville" has run the “legitimate” off the
stage. Plays that point a moral more
strongly than any sermon, plays that lif*
men and women up and impress them with
higher ideas of life, that arouse all tihe
good that ie in their nature and rebuke all
»he bad. fail to draw, while the actress in
abbreviate! skirts and risque song plays to
"standing room only."
A New Aork preacher, the Rev. Henry
Frank, has recently put tihe matter 1n a
forcible and truthful way. He has seen
(he effect of’this mountebank pulpiteering
on the wncregalions of New York city,
and he has seen thousands quit going to
church. where God's law and gospel are
• xpotinded to them earnestly and to their
good, to seek amusement in the tents and
halls of the sensationalist.
Rev. Frank says there is no reason why
nny preacher should be without a church
or a salary. All that he needs to do is to
don the garb of the mountebank, grin and
squeal nnd do the “sawdust" act in the
pulpit. Let (him do a negro minstrel turn
and substitute ribald humor for sermons
of eloquence, and the crowd will come. Let
him tickle the palate of the multitude
■with facetiousness, or deal in scandal In
stead of preaching the gospel of peace, and
fie will be the religious lion of the hour.
More especially if he but advertise in va
rious ways (newspaper advertiseing is the
best) bls bargain counter array of Sunday
twares.
Rev. Frank declares that whosoevty has
studied the religious signs of the times,
»ihe apathy of the masses for the pulpit,
the handful congregations ?b the vast void
of ecclesiastical auditoriums, the pitiful
• cry of the man of the cloth for a bearing,
w hile just across the way the man of the
"sawdust" fills his house to overflowing,
must agree that rampant sensationalism
te supplanting antiquated earnestness.
We should remember that it is Macon,
and not the Hquor men. that is being hurt
most by all this extreme talk.
The Free Pass Evil. ♦
Representative Hall, of Bibb, has placed
a cross-tie on the track, so to speak, in
the shape of a bill making it unlawful for
any Georgia legislator, governor, judge or
other public official to ride, on a free-pass.
Representative Hall makes no improper
charges against any of his colleague* for
accepting such passes. %ut merely wishes
to exempt public officials from any undue
bias that might arise from the acceptance
of such a favor from a corporation.’
There are a great many things about
Colonel Hall that we admire. We like his
earnestness and th? honesty of his purpose.
He is conscientious to a degree, and he is
not hard to find when there is any issup
before the public. But, with all due re
spect, he is like Deacon Jones’ goat —and
we use the illustration merely because it
is a nailroad story. You will probably re
member that Deacon Jones’ goat was the
prize butter of Jonesville. He had butted
the stuffing out of everything from Elder
Brown's bull yearling to the tax collector
and he lived to be honored by the entire
community as a goa/t that would tackle
anything. True to bis reputation, not long
after the railroad was built through the
town, he decided one day to give the loco
motive a try. Right in sight of his owner,
who could do nothing to stop him, he
planted himself in the middle of the track
and waited for the train. While the deafcon
was gathering up the remnants of hide
and bones of poor Billy a neighbor asked
what he thought of his goat. "I admire
his courage,” replied the deacon,” but
damn his judgment.
We are inclined to doubt if -Colonel
Hall’s judgment is as much to be admired
as bls courage in this matter. It takes
courage to offer a measure of that sort to
a body of men, each of whom holds a free
pass—and yet not one of whom, perhaps,
feels in any way bribed or biased on that
account. On the other hand, it requires
judgment to know, first, that such an ef
fort is a useless o/ie; and, next, that the
evil complained of is really not a very
serious one.
It has become a sort of custom for legis-'
lators and public officials generally to
have free passes. It is a sort of courtesy
extended 'by the railroads; not so much as
a bribe, we think, as a recognition of their
position and of the railroad’s obligation
to the state. We do not presume the rail
roads really mean 'to suirplement the meas
ley pay of our public officials, but it has
that effect, and we are inclined to think
they, deserve it. •
We have no fear that the harmful rail
road legislation will be done iby ithe men
who owe the roads for nothing more than
a pass. It is a sorry legislator, indeed,
who is as cheap a® that. Colonel Hall is
right in trying to keep the Legislature
free from railroad influences, ibui he will
need to find away to keep corporations
out of politics before he accomplishes that.
The real trouble is done before the elec
tion, when railroad influences are set to
work In various communities to see that
the men sent to the Legislature are favor
able to railroad interests; which of late
years means men who are willing to see
railroad consolidators ride rough-shod over
the constitution of Georgia.
We do not tWdieve, however,that the free
pass has anything to do with it. Certainly
it is sufficient to provoke criticism, but
hardly enough to warrant serious sus-
picion, or to give the railroads a right to
expect more from a legislator than it
would ordinarily receive.
AVe are very anxious to see an end put
to railroad domination in Georgia, we
would like to see the self-respect of the
Legislature so assert itself that every rail
road lobbyist would be kicked out of the
capitol, we would, above all, like to see
the laws of tleorgia as to railroad consoli
dation enforced, in the Interest of legiti
mate competion and for the prevention
of discrimination, but we don’t believe a
discontinuance of the free pass system will
contribute very much to this end. If a leg
islator is so cheap that a free pass will
buy him, the railroad had just as soon pay
■the money as give the pass, and the trade
would have the advantage of being more
specific, while the net expense to the rail
road would be the same.
Reorganization of State Militia.
A call has been issued by Governor
Bloxham, of Florida, for a National con
vention to consider the best means to re
commend for the reorganization of the
state militia service of the country. The
meeting is called, for February 8, and the
suggestion is attracting the attention of
other states. The governors of all the
states are asked to appoint delegates from
their land and naval service to this con
vention. Among other questions that will
be brought before the convention will be
the introduction of military tactics in
schools for boys, as a means of promoting
a physical development. •
It is quite evident that something should
be done that would make state military
service worth the while. Georgia’s experi
ence, under the old system, has been any
thing but satisfactory. What seems to be*
needed is a state militia organization that
is ready for business when the time
comes, and ready to go anywhere called
upon. Not an organization that merely
affords a few young men an opportunity
to wear a sword and shoulder straps, and'
others an opportunity to wear a uniform
and go on annual picnics.
To be of any. value whatever the state
militia should be organized on the most
approved military lines, approximating, as
near as is possible in times of peace and
among free citizens,regular army regula
tions. After the regular army is increased
to 100,000 men. or double that number if
possible, the states should be called upon
to recruit 200,000 more, and each state
should be given notice of its quota, the
same as if being recruited for active ser
vice. The oath taken and all the require
ments should leave it possible for the gov
ernor of the state (ppon the request of the
president/ to order these troops anywhere
under God’s heaven that the state's repre
sentatives in congress and the president■
say carry the flag. The integrity of the
states should be fully protected, but there
need be no difficulty in securing .immediate
action by any state executive on any call
for troops emanating from the right
source.
The main thing is to arrange and main
tain an organization that will mean some
thing; an organization complete from the
brigadier general down. Such a militia
would be prepared to march on twenty
four hours notice, and we would never
again witness such a spectacle as was wit
nessed at the outbreak of the recent war,
when entire state militia were disorgan
ized and everything demoralized for a
month or more 'before the 'troops could be
ordered into active service, while the in
competent sons of noted fathers or even
only those with a political pull were put
over officers and men of higher standing
and greater ability.
Unless something definite is hit upon
and jthe militia of the various states put
upon a footing that will prevent the re
currence of such things, it will be a diffi
cult matter for any state to ever again
raise its quota of troops.
The United States can have what might
practically be termed a standing army of
400.000 men. including the regulars when
fhereased. if each state will but go about
it in the right way.
Again we have fallen a victim of the*
gentlemanly compositor. Notwithstanding
our years of training at a writing school
and our endeavor to produce copy-plate
manuscript, we have to occasionally sub
mit to seeing our most serious thoughts
burlesqued by the man at the case. who.
however, disclaims any personal ill-will
or motive. Yesterday, for instance, we
made a serious attempt to show “How
the South Can Save Millions,” by patron
izing Southern enterprises and buying
those products made in -the South. We
still think the subject is one well worth
thought and attention, but the compositor
who makes a habit of mutilating our
thoughts undertook to bring 'this effort to
naught by making us use more than a
half-column of space demonstrating “How
the South Can Save Williams." I<t may
make no particular difference to anyone
else, but we think we have got a kick
coming to us. and besides we hope to re
form the compositor in question by having
to see himself thus publicly rebuked in
print. We have no sort of idea as to who he
mean* by “Williams,” or who he thought
pOYM I

we meant by VWilliams,” and as he has
taken a day off 'to recover from the severe
mental strain that he underwent yesterday
we have no means of finding out. All of
which only shows how a slung-shot can
ruin plate glass window.
The Nashville Banner thinks that Gen.
James B. Weaver, of lowa, who has been
defeated as a Democratic candidate for
congress, has more defeats in more parties
to his credit, perhaps, than any man in
American politics.
A manufacturer’s agent of mowers and
reapers states that this season the demand
for repairs has increased 100 per cent in
the states of Alabama and Georgia at a
single bound as a result of a greater di-'
versified farming.
It is estimated that Emperor William’s
trip to the Holy Land has cost $1,500,000;
and an exchange is unkind enough to say
that William probably figures that it was
worth that sum to display his golf suit to
the natives.

A Sure Sign of Croup.
Hoarseness in a child that is subject to
croup is a sure indication of the approach
of that disease. If Chamberlain’s Couch
Remedy is given as soon as the child be
comes hoarse, or even after the croupy
cough has appeared, it will prevent the
attack. 'Many mothers Who have croupy
children always keep this remedy at hand
and find that it saves them much trouble
and worry. It can always be depended
upon and is pleasant to take.. For sale
