MR. BRYAN’S FOOLISHNESS.
The Atlanta News contains coe of the most sensible editorials we have
seen on the attitude of Mr. Bry»n toward Mr. Cleveland, and The Banner
reprints the editorial In fall, as tallows :
••Mr. William Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska, is persecuting Mr. Stephen
Grover Cleveland, of New Jersey, into a popularity that the last named gen
tleman has not eojoyed for years
■•The whole country is in a state of revulsion over the persistent and ap
parently vindictive vilification wbioh the editor of the Commoner goes out of
his way to heap upon the head of the only living ex president of the United
States.
‘•It is undignified, undeserved. Impolitic, impertinent, and altogether
unworthy of the reputation of one man or of the character of the other.
••If Mr. Cleveland were a real or even a possible candidate for the presi
dency, iht re might be found some reason in party politics or in personal ob
jection for Mr Bryan’s abuse.
• Bat Mr. Cleveland has many times, and most implicitly, put behind him
even the rumor and gossip of a third nomination, and has voluntarily placed
himself beyond the pale of consideration in connection with this lofty sta
tion. Heis simply a private citirin and an interested factor in the progress
and rehabilitation of a party which Mr. Bryan has done fnlly as much for as
hs is ohirged with having done to disintegrate. He does not obtrnde him
self, but. being asked, is always prompt and earnt st in giriDg counsel and
inspiration to the re forming ranks of the organization, and his words are
always as impersonal and modest as they are invariably weighty and wise.
Kven the Atlanta Constitution, which was once as radical as Mr. Bryan in its
antagonism to the ex president, has learned to treat him with reverence and
to praise him with moderation.
“If Mr. Cleveland again made any answer to the Bryau diatribes, the mere
principle of recrimination might justify their repetition. Bnt. interposing a
silence as profound as it is dignified between himself and these assaults, he
robs Mr. Bryan of the last excuse for such denunciation, and ignores them
severely the more fiercely his autsgonlst assails.
“Surely no grest and good and eminent men has ever so weakened and
undignified his own position as the Nebraskan has done in the unbroken
stream of personal criticism which he has turned upon every man named as
his possible successor in the leadership of rhe democratic host. Every utter
ance of this natnie has weakened bis loiing hold upon the affections of his
party and made for him more enemies than for the obj cts of hi9 spleen.
“And in the very compensations of law and life he has developed at last a
sentiment of reaction in which his personal denunciations have come to create
a sentiment of sympathy and consideration for the men he opposes.
••The evidence is multiplying that Mr. Bryan is losing his judgment and
discretion.
“He is hamstringing his own greut possibilities for f ctnre nsef alness and
honor.
“Cannot his bosom friends persuade him to be quiet?”

MAN'S DREAM OF IMMORTALITY
AND WHAT IT HAS DONE FOR HIM
By Rev. HENRY FRANK of New York
IIE dream of immortality lias retarded the progress
and growth of the human race quite as much as it
lifflY,. ' iaS tyWWSLl&WlVfc ’ BELIEF IN AN AFTER
LIFE, UNSUPPORTED BY SCIENTIFIC CORROBORA
TION, HAS IN ALL AGES RESULTED IN MORAL DEPLETION AND
MENTAL RETROGRESSION.
Any belief in immortality that detracts the attention of men
from the practical duties of this life, through a hope of reward
and fear of punishment in an after life based on the ipse dixit of
alleged supernatural authority, MAKES MORAL COWARDS
AXD INTELLECTUAL SLAVES OE MANKIND AND IS A
POSITIVE AND UNMITIGATED CURSE TO THE RACE,
inasmuch as it makes men indifferent to mental, moral and phys
ical conditions.
But if we are to have a paradise in the life beyond, and we
wish to know it, why not hare a foretaste here bv exalting the
moral ideals of tho race and removing every social, industrial and
political obstacle from the path of human progress ?

The Athens Chamber of Commerce
favors the patronage of home industries

The Savannah News thinks that it is
hard to please Indiana people. It give*
this as a reason for Us opinion: "A mob

state, a few days prevlocsly, other white
caps chased a lot of negroes out of town

Eruptions
Dry, moist, scaly tetter, all forms
of eczema or salt rheum, pimples
and other cutaneous eruptions pro
ceed from humors, either inherited,
or acquired through defective di

To treat these eruptions with
drying medicines is dangerous.
The thing to do is to take
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
and Pills
Which thoroughly cleanse the blood,
expelling all humors and building

Hood’s Sarsaparilla permanently cured J.

he had suffered for some time; and Mis*

cure and keeps the promise.
