TIIE BERM3 SPECTACLE.
Ever and anon human nature is
vindicating by example itB title to
ranch higher respect than it ia in tbo
way of earning in tbo ordinary txpe
riences of the market places, the bar,
the halls of legislation, the camp,
•octal life, and, to sum it nil up, in
homo life. The pdtry, or rather the
commonplace, las no power to cbal
lengo human nature to the test of
what ia best in it, a trial or a tneaa
are of its potenutilities. A mau in
ordinary life who would let hie outer
n&tare of mere habit betray him into
petulance, irritation and perhaps a
touch of profanity about minorvexa
tione. might prove himself, when fac
ed by something awful or terrible in
the way of personal disaster, to be
the naan of Horace’s model, firm and
tenacious of the reins upon himself
and immovable in his principles by
all that fortune or fate can burl
against him. What was there iu
poor Conkling’s life to give us an
inkling of the infinite importurbahili
ty of bis inner man,—his other self
in reserve for great occasions?
By a more illustrious example the
people of today have a dally demon
•tration that human naturo >s the
grandest entity of all the universe,
Frederick William, the present head
of the German Hohenzollern family,
is o lipsing ail the splendors of bis
imperial station by the quality of the
soul of the man. But lately induct
ed into the honors and powers of the
most magnificent heritage that has
fallen to the lot of any man of uis
age in a century, by the crudest
irony of fate he finds more and more
convincing proof every day that it is
all only a brilliant and brief prelude
to the fiorrible tragedy of strangula
tion. And yet in this harrowing sit
nation, with all the splondore about
him only serving to illuminate its
horrors, not a word of impatience,
repining, or rebellion has fallen from
his lips- Ho meets death liko a nn
tare's Emperor with calm and se
reDe gaze, aud indulges no idle re
grets at the prospect of parting with
the richest heritage that all the
world can give, His reply to his
physician who expressed a hope for
bis early restoration is the only be
trayai of emoliou yet issuoing
from him: -“rather hope for
my eariy release” But the
noblest btquest be loaves the Crown
Prince is tbo pathetic but infinitely
heroic injunction, “learn to suffer
without complaining. That is all that
I can now tench thee.”
The world’s model of patience for
a time immemorial has been the Bib
lical character of Job. But that dis
tinguiBked capitalist of the East,
when he loet_his estates and most of
bis family, .rad besides suffered an ex
ceediDgly irritating bodily invasion
of boils, cnrbuueies and blotches,
cursed the day he was born, wishing
it forever blotted from tho calendar
of time. Nothing like this in any
sense has ever been uttered by the
kero whom we may call the world's
Unner Fritz, as all the world has
learned to admire him as sincerely as
tbo loyal people of the Faderlaud.
That touching example at the tier
man palace wdi be appropriated by
mankind as a chef d’oeuvre of the he
roic in human untnre. It illustrates
the truth that human nature can rise
superior to the pains, pangs and hor
rota of any of the most extreme suf
fenogs , . and , misfortunes . , . that , cau pos ,
sibly combine against a man, and
that tbe soul of a man may be supe
nor to any and everything terrestrial
fortune, or humanity, or nature
can do for him or against him.
within itself it ia unassailable
infinite. That picture p.t Berlin
to act as a tonic on the whole
race.
Mark the antithesis: On the one
r.!! ' nt the world can accomplish
wealth, power aud magnificence,
the entire seen# aglow with
halo of a great empire's intense
and devotion, and on the other
all that fate and fortunecan com
into the infinitude of tho very
of darkness ' in the mere
human aspects of the situation;
yet the noble figure of human
stands there before nil the
serenely superior to both, neitli
weakly repining at all that is fated
bo lost, nor betraying a tremor of
of what is Barely to come. It is
gospel to the world, illuminating a
as history has rarely, if ever,
so illustriously, that there is an
potentiality in human nature,
every man should learn to re
in Limself.
EARLY ••CAMPAIGN LIES.”
The republican plan about South¬
elections is >ery simple. It is
1st. Attempt to induce the
of a State to abandon their
by appeals to their selfish
2d. When the State re
to be bribed, adheres to its prin
and stands by those who have
self government against
plunderers, to complain of
result as “treason to the prisci
of liberty and the subversion
the rights of a largo class of citi¬
by means that every cilvilized
must look on with indignation
horror.”
Such is the language the
York Tribune uses about
Louisiana election, without
the slightest sug-
of proof that any one’s
were subverted by any means
“Treason to the principles
liberty” is Trihuneso for voting
Democratic ticket, and, as in the
glossary only machine
are “civilized,” they
“look with indignation and
on such a proceeding.”
It is time toseiiously inquire how
it is that the Republican organ ex¬
pect to impose upon the country by
rant, in face of the fact that the
election wasperfectly free
from violence or intimidation and the
voto polled very large. All the
news that these organs have pablisb
ed about tho contest flatly contra¬
dicts the editorial conclusions they
now insincerely advance. To de¬
pend on falsehood for political
chances is despicable, but to rely on
misstatements on one page that are
flatly contradicted by tacts recited
on another, is stupid.

Judge T. C. McLendon write* to tbe Swift

ruary 14,1SKS: “ About years ago,
Bradley, a col -»I man, had a cancerous sore
on hi* face, > ib« right eye. It caused
him a great <1. ' pein, and he lost the sight
of the eye, bu i nally cured of the cancer
by the use of '* Specific. This case Is
well known In Wilaes Co., Ga, where he hved
(near Danbury), and of this case, I, myself,
had personal knowledge.”
Mr. L. Cox, of Arkabutla, Tate Co., Miss,
writes. February 24, 1888 : “ I suffered a great
deal from old ulcers for six years. Yourmed-
tclne was recommended to me, and after
using six bottle*, I was completely cured. I
never saw Its equal as a Blood Purifier. My
neighbors will use no other. Your medicine
* docs even more than you claim for It. I have
known it to cure cases which were thought to
be hopeless. It is the best medicine made.”
Mrs. A. M. Goldsmith, No. 674 Warren St.,
Brooklyn, N. Y.. writes, February 22.18® : " f
commenced using 8. B. S. about three year*
ago. I had suffored with a sore throat for
over a year, when I commenced using your
remedy. I used a great many other remedies
with no good results. My little girl, also, had
sore fingers : it commenced from the quick,
and then the nails would come off. We doc¬
tored her for over two years, and when I com¬
menced using 8. S. 3.1 thought I would see
what It would do for her. I am thankful to
say that It entirely cured her. It Is the best
remedy I know of for tho blood. I really
believe It was tho means of saving my life.
The doctor told me I had a throat disease
similar to General Grant's. I cheerfully
recommend It t« all suffering from dis¬
ordered blood. I use it now as a tonic when
ever 1 think I need It.”
Mr. B. F. George, Milford P. O., Ellis Co-
Texas, writes: ” I had a cancerous wart or
mole on my eyelid, as large ns the end of my
thumb, which had the appearance of cancer,
causing me much pain and inflammation,
