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 cent charlatan, a brilliant, artful, capti-1 jn the year of grace, 1082: 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. THE LEADERS, 313 Lamar st. 313 Lamar st. 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.

Hines, ' 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.

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. Mils. l)n. Wm. H.

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.
