some kind of influence to bear which
would secure ihe desired result. But

HIU. ARP’S LITIER.
V ‘ It lOUS TOPICS DISCUSSED BY
THE PHILOSOPHER.
People and A flairs of the Day Handled
In Vigorous Style.
One time there was a generous, big-
he,rted man by the name of Colonel
Griffin jiving at Gainesville, Ga., and
his heart’s desire was to see peace on
bartli and good will among men. His
vf"‘! his . Wa chief ?. delight the was to l ° reconcile charit J*
those who were at at emnitv i mnity and anil make mase
pi ace , between . nabors. He worked
dili¬
gently along this line for several years
and was called the peacemaker, but in
course of time he seemed to lose his
influence, aud if hesucceeded in smoth¬
ering a quarrel it broke out again.
Politics got rampant and church mem-
hers got at outs, and it took a good
deal of his time visiting around and
pleading for peace. At last he pon¬
dered over the matter aud, like old
Hip A an Winkle, ho “swore off.” “I
can’t do it, judge,” he sadly confessed
to his old friend, Judge Lumpkin, “I
can’t do it. I thought I could reform
mankind; but I can’t. They get worse
instead of better. Society is like a
mill dam. It is always springing a leak,
and as fast as you stop one hole it
breaks out at another. Nothing but
the grace of God can keep peace among
the people, and even that does not seem
to circulate in this region, and so I
have quit.”
The judge comforted him and told
him not to despair, but Griffin retired
from the contest a sadder and a wiser
man. The strife and slander and
backbiting went on, aud it took peace
warrants to keep the peace, No one
man can reform society, and with
many reformers it is soon discovered
that they need a little reforming them-
selvos.
Henry Ward Beecher was a great
preacher and c. reformer of social con¬
duct, but he fell from grace just as
Solomon did. Most of these reformers
are in earnest, but they are cranks and
are righteous overmuch. Parkhurst
brought schism aud discord in his
church by excessive zeal. Tom Dixon
is doing tho same thing by dabbling
into politics. A respeciable minority
of his members are silver Democrats,
and his pulpit talk has insulted them.
When a preacher assumes to know it
all he loses his influence. Humility is
the best credential a man of God cau
have. Vanity and conceit may not be
sins, but they are traits that nobody
forgives. Political preachers may get
office, but they mako enemies and that
is a bad 6ign. Drawing crowds and creat¬
ing a sensation is one thing,but saving
.-onls through the power of the gospel
is another. I wish that every preacher
would let politics alone, for when he
abuses the Democrats he makes them
mad, and it does not reconcile them if
he abuses the Republicans and the Pop¬
ulists, too. It is as if he said : “Every¬
body is a rascal but me.” Of course
we all get more or less excited about
politics and let our prejudices get the
better of our judgment, and at such
times it becomes the preachers to be
calm aud serene and tolerant and to
keep the peace. I see it charged in
the northern press that we have no
fair elections in Georgia. I deny the
allegation and defy the allegator. I
have been on the watch for years and
have had no reasou to suspect that any
man, black or white,has been defraud¬
ed of his vote in my county. I believe
that men have voted who were not en¬
titled to vote, but it was no part of a
scheme by tho officials or managers,
and was wholly unknown to them. I
believe that the elections in Georgia
are as fair as in any state in the Un¬
ion. The defeated party always cries
fraud, but never proves it. Slander is
a cheap solace, but is hard to undo,
and the further from homo it travels
the deeper it settles in tho public
mind.
Intolerance is the bane of society,
both in church and state. T was read¬
ing today some bitter things against
women riding bicycles, and in the
same paper a temperate se nsible article
in defense of the stx. It was written
bya woman—a lady—and I coucuredin
all she said. I cau see nothing im¬
modest in a girl riding if she is mod¬
estly dressed in ekirtsand deporls her¬
self modestly. A fast girl will be fast,
whether she rides in skirts or bloom¬
ers, or don’t ride at ali. There is more
immodesty in promiscuous surf bath¬
ing aud in the round dances of the
ballroom than in riding the bike, even
in bloomers. A few’ years ago I was
shocked at the idea of auy decent girl
riding the wheel, but my
h ive passed away. It now seems
graceful thiDg to do, and I admire
poetry of their motion. My wife is
in love with the wheel, and says that
if she could call back forty or fifty
years she would have* one. Two
of her grandsons came over
Rome on their wheels, and one moon¬
light night she remarked that if
was nobody to see her she would
down to the tennis court and take
round on the sly. “Merciful fa¬
thers! Horibiie dictu!
semper tyrannic!” I exclaimed,
“You conid’nt ride if you
and you should’nt if you could,
and you shan’t even think
it. Now, there,’ and I departed
coasts and walked out in the hall
let my eholer down. Pretty soon
boys came out on the veranda and
heard her laughing and telling
how she aroused my indignation.
I came back and made out like I
funning, but I wasent. She wants
to take a round just to see me fall off,

b.ke is rather an expensive toy. The
hoys say that a id one will last about
luo years, and iu the meantime the
r»pa rs will average a few dollars a
year, uu;i s I don’t bic that it is any
cheaper in the long run ‘.ban a horse.
But the price is entirely too high. A
man who knows told me that Ihe actual
cost f a huudred-dollar bike was
about S35. I know a broker who sold
iorty two iu three months and hs com-
stou was §1 7 ii » a eh and a I onn« - ;f $300

Our people are buying thousands of
them, aud our money just pours into
their hopper like it always does for
everything they make and put at us. If
it is not a Chicago exposition it is
something else, and they keep us poor
all the time. But Cobe says: “That’s
all right, major, for everything is
adopted, and the world is obleeged to
have poor folks to keep rich folks in
money. If there wusent any chickens
there wouldent be any hawks. If there
wasent any rats there wouldent be any
cats, for everything is adopted.” “And
if there wasent any girls there would¬
ent be auy boys to fool ’em,” said I.
“Jes so, adzakly so,” said Cobe and
he shifted his tobacco to the other
jaw.
But I can still work around the
house and the garden. The flower pit
was dilapidated, and my wife called
my attention to it several times. And
so yesterday I repaired the broken
glass aLd then got my can of red paint
and gave the sash a new coat. It looks
fine and I was proud of it, and luxuri¬
ated in advance upon the praise she
would bestow upon me, but when I
came into her august presence she dis¬
covered some paint on my pants and
vest. “Was there ever such a man
in this world; painting in his best
clothes—the only decent pants you
have got,” and she looked afar off and
sighed. “Well,” she continued, “take
them off right now before tho paint
dries and let me work on them. I never
can get you to change your clothes
when you are going to do dirty work.”
So I changed them and she got the
benzine and perfumed the room with
it, and in half an hour my garments
were cleaner than ever. “What makes
you do that way?” she said, “Why,
my dear, I thought I could paint and
not get a drop on my clothes, and I
feel so much like a gentleman with my
best clothes on that I hate to take
them off, but I won’t do so any more.”
In course of time she got over it, and
I got some praise after all. Things
are now calm and serene. —Bill Aep

Every mau has a pride in the city of his
nativity or residence, if it be a city
guished for any dignity or prowess. Caesar
boasted of his native Home, Virgil of Mantua,
Lycurgus of Sparta, Demosthenes of Athens,
Archimedes of Syracuse, and Paul of Tarsus.
I should have suspicion of base-heartedness
in. a man who had no especial interest in
city of his birth or residence—no exhilara¬
tion of the evidence of its prosperity or its
artistic embellishment, or its intellectual ad¬
vancement.
I have noticed that a man never likes a
city where he has not behaved well! People
who have had a free ride in the prison van
never like the city that furnishes the vehicle.
When I find Argos and Rhodes and Smyrna
trying to prove themselves the birthplace of

Hall and to its Common, and to its superior

continue to point to its Independence Hall
and its mint, and its Girard College. Wash-
drous Jngton must continue to point to its won-
Capitoline buildings. If I should find
a man coming from any city, having no
pride in that city, that city having been the
place of his nativity, or now being the place
of his residence, I would feel like asking:
“What mean thing have you done there?
What outrageous thing have you been guilty
of that you do not like the place?”
I think we ought—and I take it for
granted you are interested in this great work
of evangelizing the cities and saving the
world—we ought to toil with the sunlight in
our faces. We are not fighting in a miser-
able Bull Run of defeat. We are on our wav
to final victory. We are not following the
rider on the black horse, leading us down to
death aud darkness and doom, but the Rider

old Bible is full of it. If the Nation is
to be saved, of course all tho cities are to be
saved. It makes a great difference with you
aud with mo whether we are toiling on to¬
ward a defeat, or toiling on toward a vic¬
tory.
Now. In this municipal elevation of which
I speak, I have to remark there will be
greater financial prosperity than our cities
have ever seen. Some people seem to have
a morbid idea of the millennium, and they
think when the better time comes to our
cities and the world people will give their
time up to psalm-singing and the relating of
their religious experience, and, as all social
life will be purified, there will be no hilarity,
and, as all business will be purified, there
wilL be no enterprise, There is no ground
for such an absurd anticipation, In the
time of which I speak, where now one for¬
tune is made, there will be a hundred for¬
tunes made. We all know business pros¬
perity depends Now upon confidence between
man and man. when that time comes
of which I speak, and when all double deal¬
ing, all dishonesty, and all fraud are gone
out of commercial circles, thorough confi¬
dence will be established and there will be
better business done, and larger fortunes
gathered, and mightier successes achieved.
The great business disasters of this country
have come from the work of godless specu¬
lators and infamous stock gamblers. The
great foe to business is crime. When the
right shall have hurled back the wrong, and
shall have purified the commercial code, and
shali have thundered down fraudulent estab¬
of lishments, and the shall have put into the band3
honest men keys of business, blessed
time for the bargain makers. I am not talk¬
ing lam an abstraction, I am not making a guess,
telling you God’s eternal truth.
In that day of which I speak, taxes will be
mere nothing. Now, our-business men are
taxed for everything. City taxes, county
taxes, State taxes, United States taxes,stamp
taxes, license taxes, manufacturing taxes—
taxes, taxes, taxes! Our business men have
to make a small fortune every year to pav
their taxes. What fastens on our great in¬
dustries this awful load? Crime, individual
and official. We have to pay the board
the villains who are incarcerated in our
ons. We have to take care of the orphans
those who plunged into their graves through
the sensual indulgences. We have to support
and municipal governments, which are vast
inal expensive just in proportion as the
proclivities are vast and tremendous.
Who support the almshouses and police sta¬
tions, and all the machinery of municipal
government? The tax payers.
But in the glorious time of which I speak,
grievous taxation will all have ceased. There
will be no need of supporting criminals there;
will be no criminals. Virtue will have taken
the place of vice. There will no orphan asy¬
lums, for parents will be able to leave a com¬
petency to their children. There will be no
voting of large 'sums of money for some
fore municipal Improvement, which moneys be¬
the they get to the improvements drop into
pockets of those who voted them. No
Oyer and Terminer kept up at vast expense
to the people. No impaneling of juries to
try theft and arson and murder and slander
and blackmail. Better factories. Grand ar¬
chitecture, Finer equipage. Larger for¬
tunes. Richer opulence. Better churches.
In that better time, also, coming to those
cities, Christ’s churches will be more nu¬
merous and they will be larger, and they be
more devoted to the Gospel of Jesus Christ,
and they will accomplish greater influences
for good. Now. it is often the case that
churches are envious of each other, and de¬
nominations collide with each other, and
even ministers of Christ sometimes forget the
bond of brotherhood. But in the time of
which I speak, while there will be just as
many differences of opinion as there are now,
there exciusiveness. wiil be no ascerbity, no hypercritieism,

The grandchildren of that woman who goes
down the street with a curse, stoned by the
boys that fellow her. will be the reformers
and the philanthropists and the Christian men
and honest merchants of our cities.
Then, what municipal governments, too,
we will have in all the cities. Some cities
are worse than others, but in many of our
cities you Just walk down by the city hall
and look in at some of the rooms occupied
by politicians, and see to what a sensual,
loathsome, ignorant, besotted crew city
politics is often abandoned. Or they stand
around the City Hall picking their teeth,
waiting for some emoluments of crumbs to
fall to their feet, waiting all day long, and
waiting all night long.
Who are those wretched women taken up
for drunkenness, aud carried up to the
courts, and put iu prison of course? What
will you do with the grogshops that make
them drink? Nothing. Who are those
prisioners in jail? One of them stole a pair
of shoes. That boy stole a dollar. This girl
snatched a purse. All of them crimes dam¬
aging society loss than twenty or thirty dol¬

LIKE ONE BIG FUNERAL.
Such Was the Departure of the Spanish
Troops for Cuba.
The Seventh Regiment, a battery of artil¬
lery and two companies of infantry sailed
from San Sebastian, Spain, for Cuba, and
judging from the local newspapers, made the de-
parture of the troops was the occasion
of a vast popular demonstration of patriot-
ism and of a determination to wipe the re-
bels off the face of the earth. According to
somewhat belated private advices from the
scene, the newspaper accounts do not fit the
facts, which is not surprising, seeing that
theyhad to be submitted to the censor before
publication. Previous to the review the
Bishop of Yittoria celebrated a religious
service in the open air, on the magnificent
Zurriola Promenade, but the effect was con-
siderably spoiled by howls, sob3 and other
demonstrations of grief by women and chii-
dren, who at San Sebastian, as in other parts

latter was in a cadei’s uniform and saluted
the troops as they passed with precocious
gravity and dignity. His appearance cer-
tainiy aroused a good deal of popular en-
thusiasm, but it evaporated as soon as he
disappeared themselves, from the scene. made As for the
troops they no pretense
whatever of enthusiasm. They had been
forced to the colors and looked as if they

the foils on the heights dominating the
town. Triple guards were on duty through-
out the night and to prevent apprehended dejected de-
sertions, in the morning the
soldiers went aboard the transport with the
air of men going to a funeral.
NEW FIELD FOR BICYCLERS.
Here’s a Chance for Them to Get Star
Routes.
Advertisements Inviting proposals for car¬
rying the mails on the star routes for the
next fiscal year were issued from the office of
the Second Assistant Postmaster-General at
Washington, Proposals will be received
until December 1, and bids will be
announced by February 1. Full in¬
formation regarding the routes in New York
State, the bonds required with the bids and
the present price of the service will be fur¬
nished on application to the Department.
There are thousands of these routes through¬
out the country, there being 1093 in New
York State alone. At present nearly all are
covered by horse and wagon. A large propor¬
tion of these routes can be covered by bi¬
cycle riders far more expeditiously than by
the present plan, and a splendid with opportunity bicycles
is presented for young men to
secure contracts. The Department is favor¬
able to any change which will expedite the
star route mails and at the same time reduce
their cost to the Government.'

A Lawyer’s Testimony.
From the Herald, Potsdam, X. T.
St. George Boardman Stacey, of Nicbolvlll®,
Lawrence County, New York, has for
many years ranked one of the brightest
lawyers iu Northern Xt*w York and for Hyi
past leader twenty years has been the acknowledged
of polities in the east end of this greof
county. Mr. Stacey was Admitted to the b^jr
in 1865. and up to October, 1895, continue®
to practice his profession. All this time,
however, had the strain of active political work
been undermining his onoe iron consti¬
tution, and during this month of October he
suffered a stroke of paralysis which left him
practically helpless. For weeks he was in a
terrible condition, the efforts of the -.looters
proving of no avail. All at once he began to
town recover, however, and was soon seen about
again, frequenting his former haunts
and shaking hands with his old friends and
acquaintances. His rapid recovery was th®
talk of the town, and a reporter hearing of
the wonderful cure decided to visit Mr.
Stacey and ascertain if possible its eause.
Mr. Stacey was inclined to be communica¬
tive, and the following is his story of his ill¬
ness and cure:
‘*1 was presiding over a political meeting
and had just arisen to give a friend who was
to address the meeting a rousing sendoff,
when to my astonishment I discovered I
could not talk. My tongue seemed para¬
lyzed. I managed to say a few words, how¬
ever, and took my seat where by shear will
power I managed to sit until the meeting
was finished. On arising to go home, how¬
ever, I found I could not walk and seemed
to have lost control of my limbs, I was as-
sisted home, but on feeling better in tho
morning I went down to my office. Here I
suffered another shook which loft me fiat on
my back. I finally recovered sufficiently to
get up, but was left a complete physical
wreck. I could not half talk or guide my¬
self at all. I could not write or even hold a
pen, and was unable to transact any busi¬
ness. I was like a drunken man and went
staggering about.
“The doctors did all they could for me but
still I failed to improve. I bad always been
greatly opposed to patent medicines in any
form, druggist, but Ira on H. the recommendation I finally of my
Smith, decided to
give Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People
a trial and see if they would do me any
good. To my great surprise I began to no¬
tice an improvement before I had taken
half a box, and by the time I had taken three
boxes I felt like a new man. As nothing else
seemed to help me I lay my recovery to the
Pink Pills for Pale People. On going to
Newark, New Jersey, in April, I gave up
taking the pills, aud have not since returned
to using them, although I am confident they
are a splendid thing, and I will probably use
them again.”
Mr. Stacey's remarkable case is but one of
a thousand others which have been cured by
these magic Williams’ pills Pink where Pills all else had failed.
Dr. contain, in a con¬
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They nre an un¬
failing specific for such diseases as locomotor

sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous
headache, the after effect of la grippe, pulpi-
tution of the heart, pale and sallow com¬
plexions. all forms of weakness either in
male or female. Pink Pills are sold by all
