Johnson—But error should be at treked and justice vindicated, re gardless of tho sneers of newspaper cities and poolipoohs.

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.

Oneo. . ie pio\ tsions of that hid was . reduction in the duty on steel rail tom 3 < toMl a ton. 1 he repub \\ Rai otuc ] s enable sa,t J 1 ,at England ® uc ^ to a cednctiot underset, Ainem-an manufacturers of ate,; tbd/miilT 1 There lc 6 Vere uc T a greaD a 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. - Xhc Pridf of lVoiunn.

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.

Smith, Druggist^ f ADVERTISE A Ptacfful Resolution. Atlanta Constitution. 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 there. JSow railroads .. are not allow 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 strip8 thc rail oad of a Urge part of thoil . advant ages, and ship mcn ts from small stations direct to the fil , aI market increase. The cot tori bn i 110 ss of tho large inland towns is bein g cut off by smaller points w b ic h "ship direct to the mills or 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. --- The New Discovery# You have heard your friends and neighbors talking about it.

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¬ 1 bust, when the system craves for pure blood, to furnish the elements of health and strength. The best remedy for puryfving the blood is 1 Dr. J. H. McLean’s Sarsaparilla. tlutiiiMoniul I'm In re. Macon Telegraph. 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 -»• A Sound Legal Opinion. 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. For sale by AlesAider & Son. NUMBER 22. .norlgngiiit; the Fnruiii, Atlanta Constitution. The deluded people who are rush¬ ing to the Oklahoma region to se euro free homesteads and cheap lands, will very soon find themselves ‘ in a bad fix. Drouths and cyclones may spare ! the settlors, but the mortgage fiend will bo on deck before tho first crop matures. The rich lands of Illinois and Michigan wore occupied under the homestead act. or were pnrclias ed for a nominal price. But they arc now about to be swallowed by the mortgage sharks. The Boston Globe says: Take the thriving state of Illinois for instance with its vast areas of rich prairie laud, the finest corn pro¬ ducing section in the world. Accor¬ ding to the last report of tho state bureau of labor statistics the farmers 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.
