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 ** # mudi loss Hie reason and conscience of alnan.” 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.
