You, your help and your merchandise must do the rest. 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 • &AKIHO POWDER Absolutely Pure 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. An absconding Tennessee bank cashier is described as being six feet high and $14,000 short. A Thousand Tongues. Could not express the rapture of Annie E. Springer, of 1125 Howard street, Phil adelphia, Penn., when she found that Dr. Kings' New Discovery for Consumption had completely cured her of a hacking cough that for many years had made life a burden.
