Out of the
Jaws of Death
Health Joy and Thanksgiving, "Where
Death, Sorrow and the Grave
Were Expected.
PERU APS there has never occur
red hi the medical history of Geor
gia. two more remarkable cases of
recovery from apparently hopelc.**
illness, than the lads given in-low
disclose. The medical profession
generally, scout the projiosuion that
consumption can be cured, and in
controverting this oft repeated asser- ;
tion of theirs, we beg leave to pro :
sent the following true statements, j
from some of the best citizens of this
state, and among Lite number that of
a physician who has enjoyed a large
practice in Georgia, for the last
twenty-six years, is a graduate of
medicine and whose skill is beyond \
dispute. Tbe following is
/>/•. ./. (). Holloway's Statement.
“The first case in which 1 pre- ;
scribed 15rower s Lung Restorer, was j
that of Mr. John Pearson, who had |
been troubled with a dreadful cough
formally months. He was finally
taken to his bed with what appeared
to be consumption in its worst form,
and his early death seemed inevit
able. Asa last resort. I sent for a j
bottle of the Lung Restorer and after 1
lie had a taken a few doses he seem
ed to revive, lie continued to use
it tor some time and was finally re
stored to perfect health. So far as I
could discover, he had consumption,
and the Lung Restorer saved his
life. All of iii.-s family that J knew,
died of pulmonary disease, except
his halt brother. 1 was afterwards
called in consultation to see .Mrs. B.
E. Ilenrndon. She seemed to be
rapidly sinking from pulmonary
affection, her lungs were rapidly de
caying and 1 thought she could not
possibly live over a month. The at
tending physician satisfied the fam
ily that nothing more could be done
for Mrs. iiearndon. 1 then sugges
ted a trial of the Lung Restorer. A
bottle was procured and the patient
commenced taking it. I learn thai
she began to improve- immediately.
1 saw her two months afterwards
and she seemed in very good health.
1 believe the Lung Restorer saved
her life. 1 have since used several
dozen of the medicine in my prac
tice, ami a few bottles in my family,
always with the most satisfactory
results. The Lung Restorer is the
only patent medicine that I have
ever prescribed in my practice, al
though 1 have no prejudice against
them." Dr. Holloway resides at
Bartlesville, Ga.
The gentleman who outlined his
case below is a man considerably ad
vanned in life, and is noted for his
sterling integrity. His post office is
Yatesville, Epson Cos., Ga. The fol
lowing is
Mr. John Pearson's Statement.
In the spring of 1882 1 was attack
ed with a very bad cough which
continued to grow worse until fall,
when 1 got so weak that 1 could not
get about. I tried a great many
kinds of medicine but continued to
grow worse. I was notified that 1
had the consumption and would
probably die. Dr. Holloway finally
told me to try Brewer's Imng Re
storer. They sent to Ward's store
and got a bottle and I commenced
taking it right away. After taking
two or three closes. I began to im
prove, and by the time 1 had used
up one bottle, F was able to get on
my feet again. lam now in excel
lent health. lam confident that the
Lung Restorer saved my life and
my neighbors are of the same opin
ion. It is the best lung remedy
ever made, in my opinion. I)r. 11.
promised me that he would write to
the manufacturers and ted them or
the wonderful cu:v *t made in lm
ease.
Fairly in November, ISSI. while j
sew ing on the machine, my wife j
was taken with a severe pain in her !
side, which was soon followed by ;
hemorrhages from her lungs and a
severe cough. Fever commenced,
she could neither eat orsieep.and in
a few weeks she was reduced to a
living skeleton. The attending phy
sician told me that he thought one
of her lungs was entirely gone. She
could not retain the most deli
cate' nourishment on her stom
ach. 1 then agreed with Dr.
Sullivan, my family physician,
to call Dr. Holloway in consul
tation. They made a final exami
nation of the patient and pronounc
ed the case hopeless.* Dr. Holloway
then suggested the Brewer's Lung
Restorer as a last resort. I sent for
a bottle and gave her a dose. I
found that she could retain it on her
stomach and after about the third
dose, 1 began to notice some im
provement in her condition. I con
tinued the medicine regularly, ami
by the time she had taken two bot
tles. she was able to walk about the
house. She is now in better health
than she has enjoyed for several
w ars. 1 believe the Lung Restorer
saved her life. We have a family of
six children, seme of them grown.”

VIRTUE’S REWARD
THE BEAUTIFUL STORY OF JO
SEPH REVIEWED.
“FROM* DUNGEON TO PALACE!”
“SEE I HAVE SET THEE OVER ALL THE
LAND OF EGYPT.”
YOU CAN’T KEEP A GOOD MAN DOWN.
So Said Dr. Taimage in His Brooklyn
Discourse.
Dr. Talmage's characteristic ser
mon, on tltc subject •• From Dungeon
to l’alace. bad for its text Genesis
xli., 41: “And Pharaoh said unto
Joseph, ‘-See. 1 have set thee over ail
the land of Egypt. \on can not
keep a good man down, said Dr.
Taimage. God lots dec-reed for him
a certain point of elevation. He
will bring him to that though it cost
him a thousand worlds. You some
times find men feflrful they will not
he properly appreciated. Every
man comes to lie* valued at just what
he is worth. You cannot write him
up, and you can not write him down.
These facts are powerfully illustra
ted in my subject. It would be an
insult to suppose that you were not
all familiar with the life .of Joseph,
llov: his jealous brother threw him
into a pit, but seeing a caravan of
Arabian merchants trudging along
on their camels, with spices and
gums that loaded the air with
aroma, sold their brother to these
merchants, who carried him down
iiitci Egypt: Joseph there sold to
Potiphar. a man of influence and
office. How by Joseph's integrity
lie raised himself to high position in
li** realm until under the false
charge of a vile wretch he was
liitiled into the penitentiary. Ilow
in prison he commanded respect and
confidence, ilow by the interpreta
tion of Pharaoh’s dream he was freed
and became the? chief man in the
realm, the Bismarck of his country.
Ilow in time of famine Joseph had
.the control of a magnificent store
house which he had filled during the
seven years of plenty. How when
his brothers, who had thrown him
into the pit and sold him into cap
tivity, applied for corn he sent them
home with the beasts of burden
borne down under the heft
of the corn sacks, flow the sin
agrbist their brother which hr
I long been hid dim cftme out at .
and was relurned by that brothers
! forgiveness and kindness—
THE ONLY REVENGE HE TOOK.
You see in the first place, that the
world is compelled to honor Chris
tian character. I’otiphar was only
a man of the world, yet Joseph rose
in his estimation until all the affairs
of that great.house were committed
to his charge. From his servant no
honor or confidence was withheld.
Wi en Joseph was in prison he soon
won the heart of the keeper, and
though placed there fin* being a
scoundrel, lie soon convinced the
•jailer that he was an innocent and
trustworthy man, and, released from
c'ose confinement, he became gener
al superintendent of prison affairs.
Wherever Joseph was placed,
whether a servant in the house of
Potiphar, or a*prisoner in the peni
tentiary, he became the first man
every where, and is an illustration of
the truth I lay down, that the world
is compelled to honor Christian
chaincter. There are those who af
fect to despise a religious life They
speak of it as a system of phleboto
my by which the man is bled of all
his courage and nobility. Tiny say
he has bemoaned himself. They
pretend to have no more confidence
in him since his conversion than be
fore hivS conversion. But all this is
hypocrisy. There s a great deal of
hypocrisy in the church and there
is a great deal of hypocrisy outside
the cnurch. It is impossible for
any man not to admire and confide
in a man who shows that lie lias
really become a child of God. and is
what he professes to be. You can
not despise a sou of the Lord God
Almighty. Of course we have no
ad mi radon for the sham of religion ;
we have abhorrence.
RED WALD, TIIE KING,
after this his baptism, had an altar
of Christian sacrifice and an altar
for sacrifice .to devils; and there are
many men now attempting the
same thing—half a heart for God
and half a heart for the world—
and it is a dead failure and it is a car
icature of religion, and the only suc
cessful assault ever made on Chris
tianity is tiie inconsistency of its
protessors. You may have a con
tempt for pretension to religion, but
when you behold the excellency of
Jesus Chiist come out in the life ot
one ot .11 is disciples, all that there is
good and noble in your soul rises up
into admiration, and you can not
help it. Though that man be as far
beneath you in estate as the Egyp
tian slave of whom we are discour
sing was beneath his rulers, by an
irrevocable law of your nature. Po.-
ipharand Pharoah will always es
teem Joseph. W hen Eudoxia, the
Empress. threatened Chrysostom
with death, lie made the reply:
•Tell the Empress I fear nothing
but sin." Such a scene as that com
pels the admiration of the world.
There was something in Agrippa
and Felix which demanded their re
spect for Paul, the rebel against
government. 1 doubt not they
would willingly have yielded their
office and dignity for a thousandth
part of that true heroism which
beamed in the eye and beat in th>
heart of that unconquerable ar * do.
Paul did not cower before Felix,;
Felix cowered before Paul. iv <
infidel and worldling are cniup&f&i
t<> honor in their hearts. although they
nsay not eulogzc with their lips a
Ghristian firm in persecution, cheer

to me in the ears: - What is reiigiog?
Judging from the character of many
professors of religion I do not a-l
mire religion. 1 said : ‘--Now, sup
pose we went to an artist in the city
of Home, and while in his gallery
asked him, “ What is the art of paint*
ing? ’ would he take us out in M
low alley and show us a mere daub
of a pretender at painting? or would
he take us down in the corridor
and show us the Rubens, and the
Raphaels, and the Michael Angelos ?
When we asked him, “what is Unc
art of painting?'’ he would points
to the works of these great masters
and say, "that is painting.” Now,
you propose to rind the mere carica
ture of religion, to seek after that
which is tjie mere pretension of a
holy life, and you call that religion.
I point you to the splendid men
a'ui women whom ibis Gospel lias
blessed and lifted and crowned.
Look at the masterpieces at Divine
grace if you want to know what re
ligion is.”
We learn also from
THE STORY OF JOSEPH
that the result of persecution is ele
vation. Had it not been for bis
being sold into Egyptian bondage
by Ins malicious brothers, and nis
false imprisonment, Joseph never
would have become Governor. Ev
erybody accepts the promise, “bles
sed are they mat are persecuted for
righteousness sake, for theirs is the
Kingdom of Heaven,” but they do
not realize the fact that tins princi
ple applies to worldly as well as
spiritual success. It is true in all
departments. -Men rise to high offi
cial positions through misrepresenta
tion .Rubric altu.se is all that 'some
•lOiio men have t<*my :
,i f-L.vatioti. It has brought
to tux,... renal latent and executive
[ force could not have achieved.
-Many of those who are makinggreat
effort for place and power will never
succeed,just because they are not oi
enough importance to abuse, it is
tbe nature of men—that is of all
generous and reasonable men —to
gather about tiioje who are perse
cuted and defend them, and they
are apt to forget the faults of ilio*e
who are the subjects of attack while
attempting to drive back tne slan
derers. Bersecutiou is elevation,
lieien St irk, tpe Scotch martyr,
standing with her husband at Lue
place ot execution, said: ••JLlusbanu,
ict us rejoice to-day ; we have iiveu
together a great many nappy years;
tins is the happiest time of ail our
life; you sec Me are to be happy to
gether forever. Be brave now ;be
orave. i will not say “Good night”
to you. for we shall soon oe m tne
Kingdom ot our Father together.
Persecution snows the heroes and.
tLie heroines. Igo inlo another de
partment and I tmd that those great
denominations of Christians w.iieli
have been most abused have spread
the most rapidly.
No good man was ever more
VIOLEXTLV MALTUEATED
than John Wesley—belied and car
icatured ami slandered until one day
ue stood in a-pulpit in London, au'u
a man arose in the audience and
said, ‘-You were drunk last night,”
and John Wesley said: -Taank
God, the whole catalogue j>, now
complete. I have been cuar <i *eii
warn everything but that!"’ iiis
followers were nuclei at U uu ma
ligned and called by every detesta
bie name ttiat internal ingenuity
could invent, but tiie hotter tue per
secution the more rapidly t,iev
spread, until you know what a great
host they have become, and what a
tremenuous three lor God and the
truth they are wielding all the world
over. 1 Go not wonder they celebrate
their centennial in Baltimore. It
was persecution, that gave Scotland
to I resbv tei iunisui. it was perse
cution tmit gave our land first to
civil liberty anti afterward to relig
ious treeuom. Yes, 1 might go tur
thei* back and say it was persecution
that gave the worid the great .salva
tion ot the gospel. The ribald mock
ery. the hungering arid thirsting,
the utijust charge, the ignominious
death, when all the force of bells
tury was hurled against the Gross,
was the introduction of that religion
which is yet to be the earth's deliv
erance and our eternal salvation.
Ihe slate sometimes said to tiie
Church: "Come, take my hand, and
I w 'id help you.” What was tiie re
sult? Ihe Church went bacK and
it lost its estate of holiness, and it
I became ineffective. At other times
the state s ;l id to the Church : "I will
crush you. W hat Las been the re
>li:l ■ _ After the storms have spent
inch* tury the Church, so far from
, having lost any of its force, has iu
creased and is worth infinitely more
• aiter the assault than before. Bead
all history and you will find that
trite. Jhe Church is far more in
u. hied o the opposition of civil gov
ernment than to its approval. Tiie
fires of tliv stake have only been the
torches which Christ held in His
hand, by the light ot which the
Ciiureh has nmrehed to her present
glorious position. In the sound of
racks and implements of torture I
hear the tumbling of the Gospel
chariot. The scaffolds ot martyr
dom have been the stairs by winch
the Church mounted.
Learn also from our subject that
SIN WILL COME TO EXPOSURE. .
Dong, long ago had those brothers
sold Joseph into Egypt. They ha 1
made the old father believe that his
favorite child was dead. They had
suppressed the crime and k was a
profound secret well kept "by the
brothers. But suddenly the secret
is out. The old father hears that
his son is in Egypt, having been
sold there by the malice of his own
brothers, ilow their cheeks must
have burned and their hearts sunk
at the flaming out of this long-sup
pressed crime. The smallest iniqui
ty has a thousand tongues, and they
will blah out exposure. Saul was
sent to destroy the Canaaniles, their
sheep and their oxen ; but when he
got down there among the pastures
he saw some tine sheep and oxen 100
fat to kill so he thought lie would
steal them. Nobody would know it.
He drove these stolen sheep and
oxen toward home, but stopped to
report to the prophet how he had
executed his mission, when in the
distance the sheep began to bleat
and tbe oxen began to bellow. Tbe
secret was out, and Samuel said to
the blushing and confused Saul:
*‘\Vhat meaneth the bleating of a
sheep that I hear and the bellowing
>f the eattle?” Ah, my hearer you
■"• an not keep an iniquity still ! At
ju.-t. the wrong time the sheep will
hi avt and the oxen will bellow.
Achan can not steal “the Bal-ylonisri
garments without being stoned to
.-'Lath, nor Arnold betray Ids coun
ry without having his neek streteh

Fiiese thieves, these burglars, these

Ghese assasins, they all thought they
gould bury their iniquity so deep
down it would never come to re.wir
rcetion; but there was some shoe
that answered to the print in the
soil, some false keys found in their
possession, some bloody knife that
whispe -ed of the death, and the pub

■Loam also from this subject that
there is an inseparable connection
between all events however remote.
The universe is only one thought of
(red. Those tilings which seemed
fragmentary and isolated are only
different parts of that great thought.
How far apart seemed th >se t vo'
events: Joseph sold to the Arabian
me'chants and his ruiership of
Egypt, yet yon see in what a myste
rious way God connected the two
into one plan. So the events are
tiiiked together. You who are aged
men look back and group together a
thousand things in your life that
once seemed isolated.

reaches from the garden of Elen to
the cross oi Calvary, and thus up to
the kingdom of heaven. There is a
relation between the smallest insect
that hnm~ in the summer air and
the archangel on ins throne. God
can trace a direct ancestral line from
the blue jay that next spring will
build iis nest in the trees behind the
house to someone of the flock oi'
birds which when Noah hoisted the
ark’s window, with a whirr and dash
of bright wings went out to sing
over .Mount Ararat. The tulips that

the snowflakes. The farthest star
on one side of the universe could
not look towards the furthest star
on the other side of the universe
and say : -You are no relation to
me,” for from that bright orb a
voice of light would ring across the
heavens responding, -Yes. yes, we
are sisters.'' Nothing iu God's uni
verse swings at loose ends. Acci
dents are only God's way of turning
a leaf in the book of His eternal de
crees. From our cradle to our grave
there is a jmtb all marked out.
E.udi event in our life is concealed
with every other event in our life.
Oar loosen may be the most direct
mad to our gain. Oar defeat and
our victory are twin brothers. The
whole direction of your life was
changed by something which at the
time seemed to you trifling, while
some occurrence which seemed tre

God's plans are magnificent beyond

and turns and directs us, and we
know it not. Thousands of rears

The most terrific occurrence does
not make God tremble. The most

Him into rapture. That one great

During the seven years of plenty
Joseph prepared {or the famine, and
when it‘came he had a crowded
storehouse. The life of most men in
a worldly respect is divided into
years of plenty and famine. It is
seldom any man passes through life
without at least seven years of plen
ty. During those seven years your
business bears a rich harvest. You
hardly know where all t-he money
comes §io fast. Every bargain you
make seems to turn into gold. You

astonished with large dividends.
You invent move and more capital.
You wonder how men can be con

in only a few hundred dollars while
you reap thousands. Those are the
seven years of plenty. .Now Joseph
has time to prepare for famine, for
to almost every man there do come
seven years of famine. You will he

mere pleasure of seeing how large a

comes in, it is sent out to see if it can
find another dollar, so that it can

have a contempt for all those things;
but there is an intelligent and noble

ARP IN THE WEST.
THE TRIP FROM NEW ORLEANS
TO TEXAS
The Sugar Plantations of Louisiana
How the Georgia Emigrants are Pro
gressing—A Sketch of Texas
Life—High Price of Tobac
co and Lumber.
From Now Orleans westward, we
passed through the cane growing
region of Louisiana, the land of su
gar, rich, sweet and desolate. Xe
groes and mules and serub horses
and dirtv, dingy shanties along the
line. The places where the sugar
planters used to live and there, the
ruins of old mansions set baek in
untrimmed groves, and the houses
of the old slaves near by unoccupied
aid tumbling to the ground. Hard
ly a white man is to be seen be
tween the slations, but when the
stations are reached we see the
smoke stack of a sugar mill and
some lew signs of civilization and
comfort. 1 was told that their vast
sugar plantations have all changed
hands, and now belong to northern
men who had mortgages on them
ior money loaned before the war.
All they can do with them is to
lease or rent to negroes, for the cli
mate is not inviting to the southern
whites, and they will not go there.
Texas is not far. away, and has a
better name. 1 crossed the Sabine
river tor the first time and found
myself upon the soil of this wonder
ful state. I passed through Houston
in the night, and on to Waco, which
according to Waco people, is the
center of Texas and the world. An
old Georgian said to me, if you will
draw a circle with a huuderd miles
radius around Waco, you will have
the finest territory in Texas or on
the globe. A man at Fo* t Wort h
said about the same thing about that
town, and a Denison man declared
that Denison was the head center.
1 find that every man is for his im
mediate section, and all are for Tex
as. They fight and fuss over free
g ass and wire cutting and foreign
monopolies, but they are all for
Texas. Well, it is a wonderful
country. When a Georgia farmer
owns forty or fitly aces of rich bot
tom land on some creek or river, he
♦eels like a king, and his neighbors
a"e envious of him, but here you
arc never out of sight ot better land
than that. As your train moves
along there is a boundless sli ip of it
on either side and hardly a tree ora
fence or a bouse is to be seen. It i>
all in cultivation or in pasture. 1
saw a house away off, a dark liitle
house with a shed room and a stove
pine sticking out of the roof and was
told that was where the owner or ihe
renter of 2,W0 >: es live ! "'Then
arc no inviting country homes, no
minted houses, no fences or orna
ments. no good barns, no nothing
much, but land and scrub horses
and poor cattle. Every man < f
pretensions or ambition seemsto live
la the town. There are no groves
to build in the country ajid they
can’t wait for shade trees to grow,
a id so they live on as they begun
w ien they first bought or settled in
primitive simplicity—this is the case
within that 100 mile circle a-onnd
Waco. But their farmers make a
wredd of stuff to sell. I met a man at
Waco who came from Floyd county
sixteen years ago when he was just
lr-uvio*!. Ho was worth nothing
t ; uve but one old wagon and a yoke
of steers —1 have bought many a load
o? woo l from him when he was a
poor back-woods boy and 1 always
felt sorry for him; for he looked piti
ful and overworked. That boy man
aged to get bore with his young
wife, and rente! land a few miles
from Waco. He now owns 1,400
acres of good land and has got to be*
Hell from farming and stock raising,
lie has a daughter at college and 1
was informed paid taxes on §42,000.
Ho worked hard, very har-d to make
the first thousand dollars, and after
he bad no trouble; my opinion
is that if be bad stayed in Georgia he
would have been hauling wood now.
The reason is plain. In Georgia lie
and his wife would have wanted to
live in a decent home and wear de
cent clothes and keep up with the
neighbors in appearance, and when
tneir kinfolks come to see them they
must put up the best they could get.
an i so they kept on a strain all the
time. Out here they lived in a
shanty and could eat with their fin
gers and go barefooted half the time
aid dress in cheap clothes and
t!ie**e were no kinfolks or near
neighbors, and besides the land was
better and there was more of it. and
the cattle increased and cost nothing
to fee l them winter and summer.
This Floyd county boy told me lie
sold 300 head of hogs and 200 head
of beef cattle in Waco last Christ
mas and he had as many more at
home to sell now. I saw the Mont
gomery boys at Fort Worth. One
of them stays out on the prairie 300
miles further west and has 2,500
head of cattle. He is 100 miles from
a railroad and livers in a dug out,
and sees nobody but cowboys all the
year round. But be is getting rich
from the increase of his cattle and
says just as soon as he gets rich he
is going to marry and settle down.
Maybe he will, but I doubt it. for he
will never-know when lie is rich and
my observation is that if a young
man does not marry when, the val
entine of life i.s upon him he is not
apt to marry at all. A man can
travel around and wait and see ten
thousand girls and keep fool
ing along until he don’t care
much about marrying any one
tor fear she will be in his way
and bother him when he wants
to go anywhere. Those traveling
drummers don’t many. Not one in
ever ten will ever marry unless they
can run. away with or capture some
rich girl. After a few years of
tlrumming they look upon the ears
as their hotel, their home and they
are never satisfied unless they arc

drummers. I meet them every
where and they are civil and cour

but I am sorry for them, they have a
hard life —a life that weans them
from all the endearments of home
and female society. I am sorry for
their mothers and sisters and can
almost hear them saying with a sigh

at my hotel to-night and they are

their places.
1 said that l saw no pleasant in
viting country homes in middle Tex
as, no white houses with green blinds
and a broad veranda with vines run
ning up the trellaces and evergreens
in the front yard. But 1 never saw
more attractive homes than they
have in the towns and suburbs.
They have splendid court houses and
jails and public schools buildings;
much finer and costlier than any in
Georgia. These Texans do what
they do in a grand style. They are
well up with all the advances of
modern times. * find the telephone
everywhere and it is used much
more than the telegraph—one can
go to the telephone in his hotel in
any of these towns and convert
with any other town a hundred
miles away. There are ten times as
many telephones in Texas as in
Georgia. A friend of mine while in
Gainesville tal ced to his family in
Sherman and then to his agents in
Waco ynd Dallas, he is in the lm .
her business, and when a man in
Denison inquired by telephone what
he woul l sell him two car loads ot
shingles for, he immediately tele
phoned a shingle man at Texarkana
and got his reply, and then answer
ed the Denison man, and said he
made fifty-four dollars by the trans
action. The telephone is hurting
llie telegraph badly. It i.s hurting
the street cars too. A man used to
get or the cars and ride a half mile
to see a man, but he don’t now
There are 240 telephones in Sher
man and more in Dallas, and as
many in Gainesville. They are ev
erywhere in this country and all the
towns arc tied together by it.
Now I am here in Denison, in
northern Tex'as, and find this a much
better country foi advanced agricul
ture and horticulture. 1 never saw
any ol Fort Worth,
but t';f> region is .‘ell of them. They
fruit a specialty and it i- a lu
crative occupation. Yiuyard, and
orchards, and large areas <4 straw
berries and other small fruits raay
be seen all around the city. It is
not a prarie country like middle
Texas, but is gently undulating and
lias a rich deep soil that needs no
fertilizer. I have seen Broil's Iron
Bitters and Cuticura and so forth ad
vertised all over the country” but 1
have not seen the Soluble Pacific
guano. They have no need for
guano here. But there is one thing
lacking here, and that is manufac
tures. There are no steam whistles
except on the locomotives. There
is nothing done in Texas but fann
ing and cattle raising and merchan
dise. This is a fine field tor the
manufacturer to occupy. Train
load after train loaded with wheat
goes north and passes just as many
trains coining back with flour. But
they don’t care—money is plenty
and it goes free and easy—when I
snokod cigars in Georgia I was
ashamed to pay more than a nickel
for one but you can’t find a nickel
cigar here. They are ten cents or
three for a quarter, and it is the same
way with everything. Lumber is
eighteen dollars a hundred. They
used to weatherboard their houses
with rawhides but they don’t now.
Texas is cosmopolitan. People from
every land are here, but the native
Texan prevails and rules. An im
migrant has to live here for years
before they will trust him. 1 used
to hear that our boys would eu.no
back to Georgia if they coni I. but
they don’t talk that way to mo.

In the inaugural a hires- of Presi

finds four passages that especially
commend themselves to thoughtful
men who hope to see the democra
tic part}' profit by its opportunity
and enter on a long carreer of nso
fii n *ss and honor. It refers to tie
clear pledges given and the sound
ide..s propounded regarding the
capital necessity of restoring econo
my in public expenditure, the im
portance of reverting to a strict c< n
strnction of our organic law, the ex
pediency of adhering to the nation
al policy of nonintrusion in the af
fairs ot the old world, and the duty
of heedfully conserving the inter
ests of American iabor and capital
in any readjustment of our fiscal
system. On these four weighty
topics the incoming administration
has firmly and distinctly anno sand
its convictions and its jxur .os.
Thoroughgoing and farsighted dem
ocrats have only praise for such a
programme, and they will be grate
ful to the men who unswervingly
enforce it.
