tolerated m society that we hardly
consider wrong because we have
always been accustomed to them,
Those who attack these customs in
the jonrnals are often called cranks
and are ridiculed as visionary, as
dreamers, not levelheaded and of
sound judgement.
Johnson—But error should be at
treked and justice vindicated, re
gardless of tho sneers of newspaper
cities and poolipoohs. Those per
sistent philanthropists who have
taken up the question about cruelty
to children have had to meet tho
sneers of such critics, but see the
good the}’ have done. And their
mission of mercy and love is even
now in its infancy. What will it do
in its manhood ? The Savior, and
L’aul, and the apostles, and martyrs, reviled,
and prophets were sneered at,
slandered. See what they have done
for mankind.
Smith—Mr. Johnson.#thero is a
Bible on that table. 1 want to read
a few verses to you. Let us turn to
the twelfth chapter of 11 Samuel and
read about the great sin of David
and Uriah’s wife. It reads thus:
1. And the Lord sent Nathan unto
David. And he came unto him and
said unto him: There were two
men in one city the oue rich the
other poor.
2. The rich man bad exceeding
many flocks and herds:
3. But the poor man had nothing
savc a little ewe lamb, which he had
bought and nourished up: and it
grew up together with him and with
bis children; it did eat of his own
meat and drank of his own cup, and
lay in his bosom, and was unto him
as a daughter. there < traveler __
4. And came a unto
the rich man, and he spared to take
of his own herd, to dress for the
wayfaring man that was eomo unto
him ; but took the poor man’s lamb
and dressed it for the man that was
come to him.
9. And David’s anger was greatly
kindled against tho man, and ho
said to Nathan : “As the Lord liveth,
the man that hath done this thing
shall surely die.
G. And lie shall restore the lamb
fourfold, because he did this thing
and because he had no pity.
7.” And Nathan said to David:
“Thou art the man.
Now, Mr. Johnson, open your eyes
wide and see the point. You have a
faithful wife and an infant daughter,
You think you are a good husband,
You know your wife is a model wife
—industrious, affectionate, untiring
in her labors to make you and the
children comfortable and nappy—an
angel’s disposition, and she was well
educated and well raised before she
became your faithful and loving
wife. I have believed for months
that you are simply killing your
wife, besides making her life miser
able, by hard work. Consider the
work that that wonderful woman
does; from early morn till past 9
o’clock p. m. she toils, preparing
breakfast, attending to the children
and even milking cows, attends to
the chickens and pigs and cleans the
home washes and irons, mends
for the family, nurses the baby, at¬
tends to sick children while you
sleep, gives suck to the infant in the
| night and is worked and worried in
! a thousand different waVs, and she
will surely die before many years if
you do not provide more help, which
you ai’e well able to do. You are
shocked at the ideifof working milch
cows in Europe, while your wife is
more severely worked and fretted
than any farmer’s cow that is put
i under the yoke in any country.
And yet you tbiuk tnat you
hard and that your wife has lighter
work and works in the shade and
needs rest not so much as vou do.
The same holds good with millions
of farmers' wives in our broad coun
try. The faithful milch cow, raising
a calf every year and working in
the field like an ox, has none of the
vexations that human mothers have
—if they are well fed and not over¬
worked they can stand it. and even
! thrive; but the human mother is
often loaded with cares and anxie
ties, overworked, poorly fed, until
she sinks into a premature grave, or
becomes an invalid and a martyr.
If her husband is a drunkard, heaven
help her; her master is in the “gall”
of bitterness and bonds of iniquity,”
with the image of God sponged from
his heart.
Johnson—Well I see the point,
Possibly, like Daniel 1 am the man.
I wid go home aud digest this crafty
! sermon vou have gotten up for my
j benefit. ’
I will in futuie let German
| working best cows take care of themselves
as they may and will more

and children at borne.

many people in . this country win. ,
" ei ® h ° oo in i as to believe this as
sertion *
A few days ago Mr Andrew Car*
negte, one of the largest
facturor# of steel rails and steel
p ates in this country and on ■
of the staunchest republicans, w. ■
interviewed in London with respec t
to the prices of these articles in
England and this country. Pittsburg L.
Carncg,o left his home in
where his mills are situated, a couple
of weeks ago. In reply to questions
he said that steel rails and ste 1
plates were being sold in Pittsburg
at about the same prices at which
they were being sold in London.
It is not denied that the steel rail
manufacturers are selling their goo ’s
at a profit. sold in this
If steel rails are being
country as cheaply as in London
what is the need of a tariff of 317 a
ton on steel rails? That is a ques
tion that tho people would have
answered. The freight on steel
from England must be at least £4
per ton and perhaps 85. It iR evident
therefore that if there were no tariff
at all on steel rails they could not be
imported so as to compete with
American made steel rails. „
The republican Senate of the last
congress also framed a tariff bill,
and it would consent to a reduction
in the tariff on steel rails of only
SI.32 a ton. Why did it insist on
making the duty more than $15 a
ton, when it knew that steel- rails
could be manufactured about as
cheaply “ in this country as in Fng
land ? A glance at the prices for
steel rails which often prevail in
this country will furnish the answer.
The price of steel rails is now about
$25 a ton, but not very rtiil long ago it
was $40 The steel tnauufactu
j-ers made a combination and put up
the prices, thus realizing extraordi
nary profits. What enabled them
to do this? Why the tariff, of
course. Had it not been for t ie
tariff of $17 a ton they could riot
have obtained from $12 to $1,5.i
>
more for steel rails than they were
actually worth,
What is true with respect to steel
rails is doubtless true with respect
to other manufactured articles,
Every dollar of unjust profit that
the tariff enables the steel rail
manufacturers to put into their
pockets the people have to pay.
And this is the ease with regard to
every other article from which the
tariff enables extraordinary profits
to be obtained. The people rnay not
have to pay these profits in the first
instance, but they have to do so
eventually. The more a railroad
costs the higher the traffic rates
must be. If it were not for the tariff
on jute bagging the cotton farmers
would not now be fighting the jute
combination.
The day is not distant when the
great majority of the people of this
country will admit that the tariff
message which MY, Cleveland sent
to the last congress, and which has
been so widely criticised, was one of
wisest state papers ever read in that
body.

Referring to ex-President Clevo
land’s New York dinner speec,h aud
to him as a probable candidate for
the presidency in 1892, the Philadel¬
phia Times says :
No number of public dinners; no
measure of political management;
n o cunning political deliverances
can cither help or hinder Grover
Cleveland as a candidate for 1892,
a »ri it is simply a waste of worry and
effort for either friends or foes to
discuss the question now. A party
condition wlli present itself early in
1892 that must either entirely over¬
look him as a candidate or .summon
him to the field with a voice that
none can misunderstand or disobey.
Don't fret over the Cleveland
issue for 1892; it will solve itself in
due time without the aid of*politicaj
managers. All know just what is
bis faith and what is bis public pol¬
icy. His speech delivered last night
is simply Cleveland repeating him
j self, as is ever the case, for in the

All over the south the small towns
;ire brightening and building up.
fhe old sleepy aspect is gone, and
there is a well kept, prosperous look
about them. What made this
change?
The interstate commerce law has
done it, and this is the beginning of
‘ £
u rcvo i„ tion of great und faP re e h
ing effect. Formerly through rates
were onjoyed b\’ competitive points
and intermediate stations had to pay
local freight to the nearest common
R? int an j take throu S h rate

ed to charge less to a competitive
point than to a way station which
is nearer, and the result is that small
towns have the same through rates
as the noxt city / beyond Centers them. This

p { 0rtg The change is most intent
iere p ut j t ev ; den t everywhere
that there is a general increase of
business in the small towns
For nearly a century the tenden¬
cy of population has been to the
cities. Everything ran to the con*
ters and the}’ flourished while the
towns were losing their life blood.
Wealth, talent, railroads, schools and
almost all the factors of civilization
tended to the city, where competi¬
tion grew fiercer, triumphs great but
fewer and failures more dishearten¬
ing. New possibilities and new dif¬
ficulties were developed by crowded
populations, and civilization gather¬
ed both strength and weakness.
Enterprises never before possible
flourished and difficulties never
dreamed of appeared. It took hero¬
ic remedies to relieve the congestion,
and police power was extended until
it encroached sharply upon personal
liberty as the population grew
stronger and harder to control.
Now, all at once, there is a reac¬
tion and a reflex influence upon the
towns. It does not stop there, but
is felt by tho farms in the improved
home market and the increased de¬
mand of land. It was a question
where the appreciation of city prop¬
erty and thc depreciation of the farm
would stop: but happily, this ques¬
tion seems to have been settled.
The growth of cities will now be
solid ; perhaps a little slower, but all
the more sure and substantial. They
will rest upon a stronger environ¬
ment, and the improvement of the
towns will force them to a yet high
*e-r plane. There .wonderful possi¬
bilities for the centers of population.
They have within their reach the
best fruits of genius, the best facili¬
ties for education ; their government,
though the most difficult, may be the
best, for it has the largest resources.
Their facility for enjoyment is more
varied, more frequeut and more in¬
tense.
But with all this there is a calm
reserved power in the country that
will be a bulwark to the cities.
From it their genius must be re¬
cruited and their population must
renew its strength. There is a fa¬
vorite saying that God made the
country and man made the town,
but, somehow, Providence seems to
be controlling both and shaping them
for their mutual good.

Educated Farmers.
Scientific farminghas begun to take
a fresh start all over the country, says
the Boston Herald. The agricultural
colleges of the extreme west have
done something for this; the facilities
for the transportation of garden fruits
and other crops from the southern to
the northern sections of the country
have opened new markets for the ag¬
riculturist; aud the number of those
who have undertaken to work the
land under the direction of scientific
principles has been greatly increased.
The result is that a new estimate has
been put upon farming, and the over¬
crowding of mechanical pursuits has
compelled people to consider anew
what can be done by tilling the land.
Then the opening of arable land at
the south to the northern immigrant
has turned further attention to this
matter. With the free land of the
country best suited to agricultural
purposes now almost entirely occu¬
pied, a reconsideration of the methods
of farming is in order, and the agri¬
cultural colleges have done wisely in
anticipating the demand for educated
and scientific tillers of the soil. The
educated farmer is to be one of the
strong men in our future civilization,
and it is not a stroke of rhetoric for
Mr. Reeve, in treating of agriculture
in the May Harper’s, to describe it as
a calling as honorable and requiring
as distinct a traing as any of the so
called liberal professions.—Ex.
j There are times when a feeling of
lassitude will overcome the most ro¬

The bureau of statistics, following
the instructions of congress, has
compiled some important and inter
esting statistics on the subject of!
divorce. The range of this inquiry
was not confined to the United,
States but included Canada and tho ;
countries of Europe. Some time j
a g 0 we published from advance
sheets the figures for this country, |
which show a deplorable increase in ;
the number of divorces in all parts of
the union. In the south, where a
fo ' v Y oars divorces wero almost
unknown, they are now quite com
raon. Their total number is
increased bj* the readiness of the
negroes to rush into court
and seek release from matrimo
nial bonds, but divorce among all
classes of society is becoming deplor¬
ably frequent. A comparison of tho
statistics for the United States and
those for other countries is interest¬
ing. The annual number of divorces
has more than doubled in the last
twenty years in tho United States,
Canada, Great Britain, France, Bel¬
gium, the Netherlands, Saxony,
Hamburg and Alsace-Lorraine.
Th number has increased, but at a
slower rate, in Russia, Denmark and
Italy.
Tho United Statets enjoys the un¬
enviable honor of first place in tils
comparison. The number of di¬
vorces in this country in 1867 was
9,937. In 1886 it had risen to 25
535, an increase far outrunning our
growth in population. These fig¬
ures are bad enough alone, but they
reflect still more severely on us
when taken in connection with the
smaller ratio of divorce lor Europe.
The total number of divorces and
separations in all the countries of
Europe combined in 1886 was about
26,000. or only about 500 more than
those in tho United States alone.
An explanation of the smaller
proportion of divorces in Europe is
found in the fact that the common
and traditional view of marriage
there is that of the Roman Catholic
church, which does not permit di
vorce. If a comparison of domestic
discontent and infelicity on the two
continents were possible the dispro¬
portion noted in thc divorce figures
would, in all probability, disappear.
Tho facility with which divorce is
obtained in the United States tin
doubtedly encourages many to cast
aside tho marital bond for tri¬
vial causes. It is a scandal on our
civilization that divorces in most of
the states of the union can be pro¬
cured almost for the asking. Such
a lax legal enforcement of the mar¬
riage contract would increase the',
number of div 'res in Europe or
anywhere else, y V

E. Baiabridge MundayEsq, Atty.,
Clay Co., Tex., says: “Have used
Electric Bitters with most happy
results. My brother aiso was very
low with Malarial Fever and Jaun¬
dice, but was cured by timely use of
this medicine. Am satisfied Elec¬
tric Bitters saved his life.”
Mr. D. I. Wilcoxson, of Horse Cave,
Ky., adds a like testimony, saying:
He positively believes he would have
died, had it not been for Electric
Bitters.

Why IVot 120 Year*?
Prentice Mulford thinks the ancients
knew howto prolong life, and believes
the art will be found again. He says:
“If I assert that within the next
hundred years men and women will
live far longer than the present aver¬
age of iife—that their physical condi¬
tion at 100 will not be that of enfeeble
nient, weakness and failing strength,
but that of the vigor which every
man and woman should have at 40—
that at 110 their physical appearance
will be attractive and comely, I shall
of course be set down as a crank, a
visionary, a trancendentalist, a man
with a hobby, a person beset by a de¬
lusion, a dreamer, a vendor of redicu
lous ideas, a putter forth of absurd
assumption. I shall have this and
more said of me by many young men
and women who want to grow old and
ugly, who want to die as their parents
died, who declare that it is the order
of nature for all to grow old and de¬
cay; that because such ending of
physical life always has been (so far
as they know), it must always be;
that the Bible has declared the years
of man to be three score and ten, that
even if it did go beyond that limit
life was hariy worth living for. Stop
a moment! The Bible declares in the
sixth . ,, chapter , , of Genes.s, third , verse,
as follows: And the Lord said my
spirit shall not always strive with
man, for that he also is flesh; yet his
days shall be 120 years.’ That is fifty
years more than the seventy years
allotted him in another portion of the
Bible. Why have the people stuck to
the three score and ten as the limit of
their earthly career so long and made
no account of the 120? Why- have we
chosen the short term when we might
possibly have had the long one?”
The Southern Situation
Has been a puzzle to the president,
and many would-be statesman have
aired their petty opinions through
the press and on the stump. A
question of still greater moment is
bow shall I rid myself of malaria.
The question is easily answered if j
you will only take one bottle of
Westmoreland’s Calisaya Tonic, the
greatest anti-periodic and stimulant
of the age. It will purify your
blood, give you an appetite and i
make you feel like yourself again.

are being swallowed up by mort¬
gages. During the past 20 years
this blight lias increased its ravages
with alarming rapidity. Between
1S70 and 1880 the farm indobtness
increased about six pc r cent. But
between 18S0 and 1887, as tho riper
fruit of “protection.” it increased 37
per cent. At the opening of the
present year, the whole number of
mortgages on farms was —
on farm values of 3142,400,300.
There are estimated lo be some 34,
694,172 acres of land in tho state, of
which total 23.28 per cent are under
mortgage, over 20 per cent of which
is to cover loans incurred in keeping
up the farms.
The situation in Michigan is still
worse, over one half of thc farms
there being in the deadly giip of
mortgages. To sum up the whole
situation the farms of tho west are
rapidly being devoured by this
eating cancer, which it seems impos¬
sible to cut out.
The trouble with many of our
American farmers, is their desire to
live like prosperous city people, and
enjoy their luxuries. This cannot
bo expected until several generations
of farmers have saved money, and
handed it down in their families.
Our old pioneers understood the
situation. They worked hard, lived
frugally and wore homespun, Tho
new race of farmers rushing to tho
west, want to wear store clothes and
live in ideal cottages. The results
are mortgages, mischeif and misery.
When the farmer north or south
finds it hard to get along, he may
put it down as a fact that a mort¬
gage will only mako things worse.
Hard work and economy are the
only things that will pull him out of
the mire.
U'oMlagiojaw Blood H‘o >»
Is the constitutional blood disease
which has for several centuries past
been infesting mankind with its an¬
noying features and destructive
results, and is now the great bane of
the human race. This is thc worst
ofail blood eontf gion, as the horrible
poison is transmitted from one gen¬
eration to the next, and even the
third, fourth We do not honestly
believe that the terrible scourge has
ever been cured and thouroughiy
eradicated from the human body by
any other remedy than Swift’s Spe¬
cific and we furiher say that Swift’s
Specific has never been known to
fail to mako a permanent cure in
any case when it has been taken
before any of the vital organs had
become so impaired as to render a
cure impossible.
Swift’s Specific entirely cured me
of a severe case of blood poison
which obstinately resisted and refus¬
ed to be cured for over 26 years.
The regular medical remedies of
mercury and potash only added fuel
to the flame. 1 suffered during most
of this long time with ulcers, blotch¬
es and sores of the most offensive
character, and was for a long time
practically an invalid. In loss than
thirty days use of S. S. S. I was all
cleared up sound and well. This
lias been nearly a year ago, and no
sign of any return of the old enemy.

The following from a Meridian,
Miss, special, to the Atlanta Consti¬
tution shows what Mississippians
think of a training school for girls:
The truth is, that Mississippi, be¬
sides admitting young ladies into
her university and agricultural and
mechanical college, has had for five
or six years, in successful operation,
an “Industrial institute and college,”
for the higher education of her white
girls. The last catalogue shows
twenty-six members of the faculty
anfJ an enrollment of 385 young
d ; es Besides the literary and sci
entific course, arc taught, book¬
keeping, typewriting,’' telegraphy, phonography
and dressmaking,
painting and music. The school is
located at Columbus, which city
contributed twenty acres of ground,
a large unfurnished brick school
building and 850,000, the state do¬
nating about 8100,000 to build and
equip the institute, and annually
appropriates between twenty and
thirty thousand dollars for its sup¬
port.
You Cannot Afforil
At this season of the year to be
without a good reliable diarrhoea bal¬
sam in the house, as cramps, colic,
diarhoea and all inflammation of the
stomach and bowels are exceeding
ly dangerous if not attended to at
once. One bottle of BEGGS’DIAR
RHCEA BALSAM will do more
g ‘ in cases of this kind than any
other medicine on earth. We guar
antce it. ’
