tion and good morals will bring about
by the gradual accretion of good upon
the stock of human nature in the centu
ries that will roll by.
THEN AND NOW.
A great deal is said about the intoler
ance of the various religious denomina
tions these days, but heretics and un
orthodox persons have a much easier
time than they had in this country 200
yoars ago. An old book of records kept
in a (Quaker meeting house at Green-
Tiik Chicago Inter Ocean says that point, II. I., gives tho following inter-
tl CoL Rotfert G. Ingersoll is a magnili- J cstiqg picture of tho religious situation

vatlng pretender, a juggler with the
convictions and intelligence of men, as
tonisbing, dazzling, pyrotechnicai, af
fecting, touching, overwhelming, but
with it all a poet, not a philosopher, a
dUputer, not a reasonor, a positivist,
not an an analyst, an entertainer, not an
instructor, a vandal, not a creator.”
lered her, would sound more like a de
scription of a fight than a wedding, yet
such is the wonderful flexibility of the
English that a fight and a wedding can
be described in the same words.
Mk. IIakiuson’s trip is over. If he
pays tbe cost of it himself, as a self-re
specting president should, and has not
placed himself under obligations to any
person or corporation for favors ren
dered, it was an excellent tiling for him
to make such a trip. Travel enlarges
the mind, and the mind of a president
who advocates a force bill is in need of
enlargement —New York World.
A COMPARISON.
Northern and especially republican
papers are constantly disposed to twit
the south about lawlessness; yet there
seems to be more need of the reforma
tion of lawlessness under the name of
law In New York city than anywhere
else in the country.
The following comparison instituted
between tbe administration of law in
Mississippi and New York made by the
World is worthy the perusal of the bla
tant demagogues of the republican press:
i in Mississippi, v negro was nccun-
ed of a felony. A sheriff's posse was hunt-
Inn him.The negro fled to his cabin and bar
red the door. The sheilflfs posse «urrounded
him, beat his door down, and the negro,
while resisting arrest, killed one and wound
ed others of the posse before he was capfur-
I. He was Indicted, tried and convicted of
urder. The supreme court of Mississippi,
the court of la«t resort, has ordered ihe
man's release and declared »hat he did right,
and did not exceed his rights iu any respect
for tho sheriffs posse had no war rant grant
ed permitting them to break down his door.
‘Thecabin of the negro” In Mlssli-elppl “
Is cattle, and any man who attorn pts to e*
terltdoea so at the peril of hU life, unle-
hecarrles wich him the direct orderof
court of tho state/' Contrast l his conserve
on of the persona' liberty of the cltizer
Itl: New York slate. In which a policeman
is per nltted to beat, inalin or kill any mat
horn he may say ••r»*s , ste I arrest.” Inthl-
city for a stranger to simply charge a mat
I tit crime Is to give full lleen«e to t ie whole
police force to break down «v**ry door In
city of New Y'ork to search every bui ding,
to seize any property and t *comm‘t any out
rage that Is possible,and n > courtwlli pun
ish a policeman for any mime he may e >•« •
mit while he has the excuse that ho was
looking for a criminal.” Nor can a Ju fge
be indicted for a crime committed while he
holds office.

A kotaulk feature of the display of
tbe products of American industry at
the recent Protective Tariff league ban
quet was tho glassware and crockery.
The glasses from which the guest, drank
their wine, the diehes from which they
ate their fish, roasts, vegetables, etc.,
were all of American manufacture. Yet,
while the league was festively celebrat
ing these proofs of tho blessedness of
the tariff, the potters of Xew Jersey
were on a strike against n reduction of
twenty-two por cent. In their wages.—

The New York World says that ono of
the most creditable observations made
by President Ilarrisonsin his oxtenaive
tour was Ills remak at Omaha—if cor
rectly reported—that he dcoply regrets
the displacement of Gov. Boyd, of Ne
braska. He regarded It as “indeed un
fortunate for the republican party that
the necessity arose for the displacement
of a democrat elected liy tho people by a
court constituted solely of republicans."
A lawyer, said tlio president, “is quick
to perceive the juscico of legal techni
cality, but it Is quito a different thing to
imposo upon the people the equity of a
technicality which practically disfran
chises the popular vote." It Is, iftdecd;
and the voting will be likely to show It
at tho next election In Nebraska and in
other states where the republican poli
ticians hold ofllce in dellarce of the ex
pressed will of the people.
Col. Livingston dropped a bomb-
ahell into the third party camp at Cin
cinnati when lie said that the southern
alliance would stick to tbe democratic
party. This Is tbe unanimous sentiment
of our ailiancemeo. Governor Tillman,
of South Carolina, understood the wants
and wishes of our people thoroughly
when he said: “lama democrat pure
and simple. I believe In fighting for
reforms Inside of tbe party lines, and
nothing outside of them, and‘I believe
an, attempt to organize a third party In
this state, or in the south, would be an
absolute failure t” It would be well to
keep this before the people. The dem
ocratic party (splodged to all the essen
tials <>f the great reforms demanded by
the alliance, and our farmers to a man
agree with Governor Tillman that the
way to win is to make their fight Inside
of the party lines.—Constitution.

The general court has accordingly given

Last Thursday night Mr. J. Si Stew
art, ex-treasurer of the board of mis
sions of the North Georgia conference,
was tried at Oxford, Ga., according to
the discipline of tho church, bofore a
committee appointed by the pastor, Rev.
M. II. Eskes, for the defalcation* found
In his accounts with the mission board.
Tbe shortage was *13,040. The trial
lasted all night, owing to the quibbling
of one of the men who defended Mr.
Stewart. Rev. J. IL Parker, of West
Point, and Iter. Mr. Qulllian, of Con
yers, the committee appointed by the
annual conference to Inspect the treas
urer’s books, were present at the trial.
The wonder is that this affair was not
discovered sooner, as Mr. Stewart's
books show that money has keen going
In small quantities for several years,
The trial resulted In hit expulsion from
the church. Some talk of an appeal was
stated, but it Is not expected, as it would
be of no avail. Mr. Stewart was for
years a partner of tho leading hardware
house in Atlanta, Tommoy A- Stewart,
and retired from business some years
ago with a competency, and devoted his
time to religious, educational and Sun
day school matters. Ho was one of the
most activo of tho trustees of Einory
college, and Ills homo at Oxford was
headquarters for all that pertained to
the Interests of the collcgo. His defal
cation is a sourco of wonder and regret
to the thousands who knew him in tho
days of his prosperity and honor.

ever come under the spell of her eyes or

-She is one of the best known ladies in
Georgia, or the whole country, and as a
representative of this state on tho wo
men's board of managers for the World’s
fair she presided over the first meeting
for temporary organization, and her
patriotic and eloquent address on that
occasion in Chicago was quoted from
one end of the country to the other, She
is the wife of Dr. Felton, the sago of
Bartow, whose congressional and state
legislative record Is well known every
where, and together they make a pair
that for eloquence, ability, popularity,
attractiveness and power with the peo
ple cannot be matched in thla country,
Mrs. Felton ia foremoat In all good work
for bar sax or the country, and it la
hoped she will remain several days In

Tub Constitution of yesterday gives
the following rum irs respecting the
probable conclusion of the Western and
Atlantic railroad betterment commis
sion,:
Although the commlailoner. refuse to d»s-
jhs the malt r, even with their closest
friends, It is quite certain that they have
agreed to report against betterin -nts. About
tho Te messes taxes and the Atlanta depot
there Is a marked dlirereuee of opinion
vhong'he Interested parties. Friends of the
lessees declare th* commission's d clslon will
be that these amounts shall he refunded by
the stato to the lessees'. On the other hand.
Interested state officials are equally continent
that the decision wilt require the lessees to
return to the state the taxes pal t by the
state to Tennessee last yea .and that the les
sees will get nothing whatever from the
state.

Vidal, the blind sculptor, is ono of
the wonders of the French capital, lie
has been blind since his 21st year. To
be a sculptor it is generally supposed
that one must have the mechanic's eye
and the artist’s ta-ite and perspicuity.
Tha latter faculties Vidal has to an ex
ceptional degree—oven more acute, he
believes, than If the former were not
lost to h im forever.
