Hon. Ben Hakrison has been rusti
cating at Put-in Bay. Along in Novem
ber he will hkely take a trip to Salt river.
Senator Voorhees says there is now
no doubt in his mind about Indiana—
that she will most assuredly give Cleve
land a majority.
Major Bacon has gone to New 1 ork
to assume responsible duties in connec
tion with the work of the nutionol Dem
ocratic committee.
We agree with partner Blaine that
“trusts” are “private” affairs —entirely
too private before they are made known
to the public, but the people will show
him whether or not therein any power
in Congress to give relief from their out
rageous extortions.
An international convention of the
Young Men’s Christian Association met
at Stockholm, Sweden, recently. There
were in the convention representatives
from nearly every civilized country—
-38,000 associations. There are about
800 Associations in America, an increase
of about 50 per cent, within the past
four years. >
A special train ran through from
Jacksonville to Atlanta last Sunday
with some forty passengers locked in.
They were not allowed to carry any bag
gage, or extra wraps—nothing but a
lunch basket. A large number intended
leaving the stricken city on that train
but when they learned the program, gave
it out. .
Wk have heard some competent critics
pronounce Henry Grady’s speech at the
closing of the Chautauqua, the very best
thing heard there during the season, and
we are ready to believe it. Grady is a
natural orator, and can clothe even a
common place thought with a vesture of
eloquence that makes it glitter and glis
ten in the intellectual horizon, like a
“blight, particular star.”
The twelve thousand itinerant minis
ters in the Methodist Episcopal church
are said to have contributed, last year,
.SIOO,OOO of the missionary money paid
in—or one-tenth of the whole million re
ceived. This is an average of $8.33%
each. At the same rate the more than
two millions of lay members of the
church would have contributed about
$17,000,000 missionary money in one
year.
The Southern Presbyterian statistics
are just out and they show: The total
communicants reported stand now at
15(5,249, as against 150,308 last year.
The churches number. 2.280, an increase
of 44 during 1887-’BB. The ministers
number 1,129, an increase of 13. In the
Sunday School there are 101,700 schol
ars, against 98,806 last year. The total
receipts for 1888 for all purposes were
$1,463,478 as against $1,415,318 for
1887.,
The collector of internal revenue has
decided, alter about a year's delibera
tion, that the books of the revenue office
are public, and must be open for inspec
tion. This settles a point in the execu
tion of the prohibitory law in Maine. It
was claimed that the holding: of a reve
nue license is prfma facie evidence that a
man is engaged in the sale of liquor.
Then the revenue agents declined to tell
who were licensed in the State. This de
cision is a most important one.
0m lb Simon Peter Richardson tackles
whatever he eoneieves to be wrong with
gloves off. Here is one of his late say
ings: “When the church admits the
necessity of pleasures or higher enjoy
ments outside of her pale, then there are
thbigis better outside than inside, if a
brothel' holds a prayer meeting to-night
and goes to the german to-morrow
ni#ht'for pleasure and social enjoyment,
pra§er meetings and germane and hops
aM nlived ap makes a mess of pottage
thifct .ought to try the stomach of a dog,
A ** #

Tit-; Roman population of Brooklyn
has been excited and edified recently by!
a re(j/t!fti£ion ot the Lourdes or Knock
iniantfes in that city. A healing spiring
suddenly guwhed forth in front of one
of the churches, an I to it resorted many
of the sick to be healed. Reports of won
denbd wares were in circulation, and the
worthy priest of the parish began to
congratulate himself Ihqt the revenue
frem thu devout and the cured would
soon pay off the indebtedness upon the
church. But all these delightful antici
pations were cruelly dissipated when
the source of the supernatural spring
was traced to a leak in the water main.
The pilgrimages have ceased.
SAM JONES AT ROUND LAKE.
Sam Jones has evidently created a red
hot rou sen lent among the poli
ticians at Round Lake by his strong pro
hibition talk. One preacher charged him
with being an emissary, sent into New
York to cripple the Republican party.
The Albany, N. Y., Argus goes for the
aforesaid preacher with gloves off, and
defends our Sam in gallant style. That
paper says all the good people in the
country are in hearty sympathy with the
Georgia evangelist, and that he has a
hold upon the vast audiences that gather
at Round Lake, that no other man ever
had. His sermons are published from
day to day with favorable comment and
hearty endorsement.
THE HOME EXPOSITION.
The management of the North Geor
gia and Alabama Exposition have de
termined to extend the time of holding
it open until the 13th of October—two
weeks instead of one.
Rome is jubilant over the prospect for
a most successful consummation of this
great enterprise.
The bagging trust is another “infant
industry” that needs protection—for the
farmers of the cotton region are going
to sit down on it in some manner, sooner
or later.
SAM JOSES VSJREE WHISKY
Powerful Denunciation of the Re
publican Platform.
Three Carping Crities The Eloquent
Preacher Sincere and Unpaitisan in
His Utterances at Round Lake.
Albany (N. Y.) Argus.
Round Lake, N. Y., Aug. 31.—This has
been the warmest day of the month. Not
only has the temperature been high, but
Sam Jones has made it hot for a good
many. And a few, and but a very few,
have taken exceptions to what the fa
mous preacher has said. There is one
thing certain, and that is Sam Jones and
Sam Small have drawn to these grounds,
and still continue to draw, and hold at
least a third more people than they have
either of the previous years, and it is the
general remark that for intelligence and
Christian character the audiences are far
superior to any that have ever assembled
at Round Lake. They have been com
posed of ministers and laymen of every
denomination and many who are not
members of any church. And the only
ripple there has been to mar the pleas
ure and good effect of the meetings at
which the great divines have held so
many thousands in breathless silence
has been the crazy harpings of two or
three ultra Republicans, who would not
be noticed had they not found thefr way
into two or three respectable journals,
in such a way as to mislead those who
have not had the pleasure of listening
and judging for themselves.
The Democrats on the ground have
had no part in any of the political trou
bles of this season and are only lookers
on, to see the practical effect of having
“free wool” as it is strewn around in the
scrimmages between Republicans and
Prohibitionists.
The Albany Journal of yesterday and
the Troy Times of the same date publish
a letter from I). R. Lowell, whom the
Argus reporter has learned is the pastor
of a small M. E. church up in Rutland,
Vermont, and the Troy Times of the
same date publishes a reported inter
view with one Jas. F. Ashley, of Troy.
And the Troy Telegram to-day joins in a
tirade against Sara Jones, and it may
interest the readersof the Argus to know
just what the true state of affairs is and
\v r ho are the pigmies assaiiing Mr. Jones.
After the above articles appeared in
print, the Argus reporter questioned
most of the trustees and a great many
prominent Christian ministers and resi
dents and was unable to find a single
person who sustained Mr. Lowell or Mr.
Ashley or the reporter of the Troy Tele
gram, except one lady, wluo said she re
sided in Troy. The trustees and minis
ters, like Dr. 11. C. Farrar, President
(iriffin, Supt. Rodgers, Joseph Hillman,
Rev. S. M. Williams, Dr. Munger and a
host of others, who have been life-long
Republicans, denounce Mr. LoweM and
Mr. Ashley in the most severe terms. It
is safe to say that not ten persons can bg
""found who agree with them.
These few gentlemen take exceptions to
what Jones has said and term his utter
ances political.
Now, Sam Jones said “that he believed
thgt those who make whisky, those who
sell it, the men who rent places where it
is to be sold and those who rote for free
whisky are all going to hell," and Dr.
Lowell, who claims to be a high-minded,
honest and conscientious minister, en
ters his solemn protest against such a
clownish akid uncalled for political parti
san tiiade. Mr. Jonessaid: “No mini can
be a Christian unless he votes as he
prays.” Mr. Lowell says he denounces
this as a base fraud unworthy of a po
litical trickster.
Sam Jones said in substance, “1 am a
rampacious knock-down, out and out
Prohibitionist. The liquor dealers asso
ciation lias given the country a more
Christian declaration of principles than
the Republicans did in their convention
at Chicago. If you doubt it look at the
Republican declaration for free whisky
to make more orphans and widows and
fill more drunkards’ graves. Jio help me
(iod, I am for a clean fight every time
with their hellish traffic and all the devils
in hell can’t shut my mouth on this sub
ject.” Dr. Lowell says that shows that
Sam Jones has been sent by the Democ
racy of the South to a politically doubt
ful State to do effective campaign work
against the Republican party. And yet
this man Lowell claims to be a conscien
tious minister of the gospel. Let the
good Methodists of his church in Rut
land read and then consider the source
of the preachiug they are compelled to
listen to.
One of the most intelligent and promi
nent ministers m the M. E. church pro
pounds these questions, and he is a
sound Republican:
When did this little Rutland minister
become the champion of the Republican
party?
Did be not make speeches for the pro
hibtion candidate in 1884?
Did he not at a meeting of the minis
ters of the Albany district, held at
Castleton, October 28, 1885, uige all
Christian ministers to vote for the third
party candidate and say that no minis
ter could conscientiously vote tor either
Davenport or Hill? Did he not become
a candidate for chaplain of the State
Senate, when every Republican voted
against him? And did he not subse
quently write a letter to secure the ap
pointment as chaplain of one of the
State prisons, and.say in that letter he
would always knife the Republican par
ty, if he could get the appointment.
Now such a man has the audacity to as
sault Sam Jones in the public press.
The other person, Lowell’s co-slanderer
of Jones, James F. Ashley,says he is one
of those who are against using these
grounds for political purposes. Well, if
that is time, then Sam Jones has con
verted one man. Then the Troy Tele
gram has the effrontery to say that there
have been no Republican speeches made
on the grounds this year.
There is not a person residing at
Round Lake but will say that the state
ments of James F. Ashley and the Troy
Telegram are false. They know that a
few weeks ago this same man Ashley,
with the Round Lake reporter of the
Telegram were the prime movers in get
ting up a Republican meeting, which was
first advertised to be held on the grounds',
but was finally held in a cow pasture, at
which Corporal James Tanner and Hon.
Martin 1. Townsend, of Troy, each made
Republican speeches. They know that
at a reception to Hon. George West,
Bishop Newman and Mr. West both
made Republican speeches, that were re
garded as an insult to Democrats, Re
publicans and Prohibitionists. They
know that on the very platform where
Sam Jones preaches, a week ago last
Saturday night, Cprporal Tanner and
this same little Mr. Lowell both made
Republican And this same
little man Ashley and the reporter of
the Telegram were both present at that
last meeting and cheered their Republi
can friend, Tanner, when he tried to and
nounce President Cleveland for vetoing
certain pension bills. It is the simple
bark of three small men againt one
whose church is the nation, who preaches
Christ to the millions, who will always
find a welcome at Round Lake. One
who does not believe in Lowell’s Chris
tianity, that one may pray God for a
sober country and flood that same coun
try with free whisky.
If any one doubts what has been writ
ten above let them go to Round Lake
to-morrow or Sunday and see the' rail
road unload its thousands; see the
honest, intelligent farmers pouring in
from a radius of twenty-five miles. And
go up to the auditorium and see the
audiences there of four and five thous
and men and women, catching every
word that falls from the lips of this great
orator and fearless Christian, and know
that this same class come day after day,
and sometimes twice And three times a
day, to listen to him. And know that
ninety-nine per cent, are far superior in
intellect and moral culture to either
Lowell or Ashley, and you will not won
der that they Isave and Sam Jones con
tinues the admired of all.
