As it is, an unsc*tipulous man can go

use the more grating term by theiving,
lie can build unto himself so far as
money is concerned a llowery lied of
ease on which, owing to the rule that is
getting day by day to be more of a law'

tors rush around, tear their hair and are
forced to the wall by abject inability to
meet their obligations. That, however,
is a rule of trade and pity is not for him
wild sutlers himself to be worked so
easily.
There are those who have a greater
burden to bear than they.
There are the merchants and property
holders in tho cities and towns where
the failures occur. One “break” can do
a city or town damage untold. It
shakes confidence in the place and the
people; stagnates business and tears the
market to pieces if the bankrupt stock
is put on sale at bankrupt prices. It
causes men to rush around in their
anxiety to save themselves and foreclose
on honest men who would pay if they
were given any kind of a show, as is
frequently done in tho ordinary chan
nels of trade. These are facts and can
not be evaded, yet there are men so pol
luted with the desire for money, no
matter whether they get it honestly oi
dishonestly, that they care naught for
precipitating such a state of affairs.

MAKE HASTE SLOWLY.
While it seems that the men are anx
ious to prove that they do not consider
marriage a failure, it looks as if the
ladies are getting careless as to whom
they marry, for scarcely a day passes
but what one or more cases of bigamy
are reported.
The fault of this lies at the doors of
the young ladies and the parents of the
country. They should make haste slow
ly in this important matter. There is
no girl nor no parents that cannot got
the pedigree of a man if they want it.
If, however, this is not true there is, or
should be, nothing to compel a marriage
until this pedigree is obtained. Ladies
and their parents arc largely to blame
for the number of bigamists in the coun
try, and sad to relate they seem to ho

1NGALLB ON II IS FA ICTY,
At the meeting of the republican editors
of the seventh Kansas district, a letter
was read from cx-»Senator Ingalls, of
which the following is an extract:
The republican party Is confronted with
great p ruble us wli eh threatens Its suprema
cy. If we are to succeed, we must deal with
the Issues of to-day as we dealt with slavery,
recession and stale sovereignty thirty years
ago. The republicanism of the future must
readjust itwJf to the changed condition! of
American life, or it will perish.
I wish to save It from this fate by recalling
the spirit of energy, aggressive* and patriotic
force of the founders to the campaign of 1X112.
This will b- waged upon economic and prac
tical questions, and not upon memories or
emotion.
Harrison will be renominated, and Cleve
land wl'l belli* antagonist. If w© have cour
age and conscience it will bean Austerlitz
If we dicker with popular errors, compro
mise with unprincipled leaders,and sneer at
honest, difference of Judgement and opinion,
It will be a Waterloo.
Senator Ingalls has changed his mind
as to the policy of the republican party.
A few years ago, when he was in tho
senate, to wave the bloody shirt was all
that lie thought necessary to rally the
republican party and bring defeat to its
opponents. Now he feels that it must
confront tho living issues and make their
tight ou a different line tl an in the days
of its greatest supremacy.
And it is true. The people of the
north will no longer listen to tho old
bloody shirt harrangue, but demand that
the parties take up the problems which
confront them in their every day life,
and demand that the welfare of the
country receive the attention of its lead
ing statesmen.
It may he Cleveland and Harrison
again, as Mr. Ingalls says, but if itshould
he, the republicans will be put to their
wits’ ends to find a platform that will
rally the people around the little man
who is now* hid under his grandfather's
hat.

"ONLY A FLAGMAN.”
A terrible accident happened on the L.
A N. near this place last night. Thee aches
wer© ruined beyond repair and the damage
will amount to thousands of dollars. Only
a flagman wan killed.
That is the message; cruel in its
brevity, couched in such words as make
a thoughtful person shudder at the
thought of what little space is devoted
to the fate of the dead man; which
Hashed over the wires from Nashville to
the great papers of the country a day or
so ago. •
‘•Only a llagman was killed.”
Poor fellow! while at his post of duty,
without a moment's warning, he was
hurled into eternity. The papers spread
his obituary to the world, but how cold
and relentless were the words, how little
tribute was paid to a man who died
away from home at his post of duty, a
man who had started low down to work
to the top.
“Duly a llagman was killed.”
Yet tho accident was a terrible one
for “the coaches were ruined beyond re
pair and the damage will amount to
thousands of dollars.” While carrying
out his duties the correspondent who
sent that special was thoughtful enou -h
of the owners of those cars, of the stock
holders of that road, to tell them that
their cars were “ruined beyond repair,”
but lie put himself not to the trouble of
finding out the name of the pale dead
man, whose face bo saw upturned to a
pale May moon. No one would be in
terested in that, lie was only a wage
earner, his living or Hying would have
no effect on this stock or on that securi
ty: no funeral cortege of vast propor
tions would assemble to lay him away
with pomp and ceremony, for he was—
“Only a flagman ”
Oh, mockery of words “Only a flag
man,” but still ho was near and dear to
some one. Some old gray haired wo
man, with wasting form and wrinkled
cheeks, no doubt, had a light out that
very night as a signal to her boy that she
was well and awaited the day when he
would send a portion of the pittance
which he was earning to keep tho wolf
of starvation from feeding on her ema
ciated body. Somebody else, no doubt,
treasured a lock of hair from the brow
of that flagman, who looked forward to
the day when he would be a conductor
and make her his bride. Hut without a
note of warning lie met bis death, the
dread monster sealed his lips, perhaps,
as he was uttering a prayer for that
mother and that loved one. Death took
him while he was at his post of duty
and his young life and his hopes went
out in the twinkling of an eye. Yet his
obituary was:
“Only a llagman was killed.”
IIow many flagmen are there around
us? We cannot all occupy high places.
But how much better would be the
world if in life we were to speak a kind
word or lend a helping hand to these
flagmen instead of hastening to do hum
ble homage to the stockholders and the
owners. If we were to do this life would
be more worth the living, and when the
humblest of us all come to die the wires
would no more flash the words:
“Only a flagman was killed.”
FRECKDKXTS FA VO 11 CALL.
The members of the Florida senate,
who thought that by leaving, the senate
could not act without a majority, are
likely to be disappointed as the prece-
denU.aU favor senator Call. President
Brown, of the senate, who presided ovei
the joint assembly, speaking of prece
dents says:
This question has been passed upon bv the
senate of the Unlted Htates In a number of
cases, notably In the election of M. C. Bui-
lc*, senator from South Carolina, In lH77;of
Jhs. B. Kustis and Win. Pitt Kellogg, sena
tors for Louisiana in tfT7- In • the Joint as
sembly that elected Senator Butler there
were but eleven members of the senate
present, watch was six less than a majority
ot that hoily. The senate of the legislature
of Louisiana that elected Senator Kustis
consisted of thirty six mem tiers. On the I2tb
oi January, 1S77, when .Senator Kustis was
elected, there were but twelve members of
the senate present. When Senator Kellogg
whs elected there were but seventeee mem
hers of the senate present in the Joint as-
► embly, although nineteen would have been
necessary to constitute a quotum of that
body.
The question tvhethfr a quorum of each
body Is necessary under the act of |SS« was
directly passed upon by the senate of lb
United Htates in each of these cases, «ml all
three of these gentlemen were declared to
have been legally elected. In the Kellogg
case the committee said: “That said elec
tion was held strictly In accordance with the
act of congress of ISfift, to regulate the time
and manner of holding elections for sena
tor,” In the Kustis case the committee re
ported: “Your committee finds that, al
though the senate refused to take part ns
such In tuld election, and although a minor
ity of the senate only did take part In It,
yet there was a substantial compliance with
the act of congress of lww.”
Governor Fleming is reported as op
posed to Call, but he will hardly with
hold his redenctials with the precedents
quoted above i:» his favor, and the oppo
sition may no well get down to their
work on other lines, get through and go
home to their long suffering constitu
ents. •
Ghouls are after the body of the late
Pliine.ta T. Baruum for the use of a
museum. That would be the irony of
fate; to make a show out of the great
showman. I'hineas’ ghost might not
put up such a grand kick, however, if
it could become what Pliineas in the
tlesh outlawed so much money for—an
attraction for the Barnum and Bailey
aggregation.
“It is probable that many jolly dogs
will have ‘harks’ on tho sea this sum
mer,” says an exchange. Yes, and it is
quite likely that many “cats” will sail
on old ocean’s bosom.
“GUARD WELL THY TONGUE.”
Apropos of the discussion in Atlanta
over Rev. J. B. Culpepper’s language in
the course of a sermon recently preached
by him, to “men only,” it may be re
called, with aptness, that a Georgian,
honored of men, who has passed to the
! beyond once said that:
“If half of the people in the world had
half of their tongues cut off there would
' not be as much mischief by half.”
There is no reckoning the amount of
| harm that has been done by unbridled
! and unchaste tongues, and it is more
! than well for one and all to think twice
i before speaking. Especially does this
| seem true of preachers who under divine
i inspiration are attempting to save men’s
| souls for the God who gave them.
| Mr. Culpepper should weights his
I words.
But, whether lie does or not, and that
| is not a matter for The Times—IIecob-
! i>Eii to decide, no one can earnestly
I argue that sensational preaching does
! good. On the other hand nine tenths of
j the people are ready to admit that it
| does more harm than otherwise.
I Than the Times-Rkcokdek Mr. Cul
pepper can find no paper on tho top side
I of this green globe that has more respect
for his calling. Than the people of
i Americus no people delight more to
; honor and respect a Christian man, or
woman, no matter in what walk of life
1 they may be found. Suckling babes at
their mother’s breast feed on this honor
and respect, it is taught to the boys and
girls and the grown people are fully im
bued with it. Still but few, if any, of
them have any appreciation of the sen
sational in preaching.
That kind of work attracts crowds; so
does a circus, but it does not edify.
A few years ago the writer heard a
preacher, who is now attracting wide
attention, declare: “I am as pure and
spotless as Jesus Christ. I am like that
palm to which no dust can cling. No
sin permeates me.”
Is to be supposed that that man’s
preaching did any good? Is it to be
thought that his egotism imbued his
hearers with any confidence in him?
They left that church disgusted: yes, in
sulted, yet they went back—to see what
the man would say next time.
I’ 131*0 m ay be thoso who will read this
man’s name between the lines. Bo that
as it may it cannot be said that ho was a
credit to that earnest band of conscien
tious Christian workers of which he
claimed to be a member.
Bo they Methodist, Baptist or what
they will. He they bishop or circuit
rider, or bo they the ablest or the poor
est, most stammering sort of men in
their denomination all honor to the men
who have taken up themselves and are
devoting their time and talents toward
getting others to take up the burden of
the meek and lowly Nazarene. The
TisiesRecoudkic is not disposed to
decry them, hut it bids them God speed.
At the same time it ventures to advise
Mr. Culpepper, and all others of his
stamp, that it would be a splendid idea
to guard their tongues well, to speak the
truth, and to speak nothing that would
he unmeet for pure woman’s ears.
HE GETS LEFT.
Facts are very ugly things. You can’t
smooth their wrinkled brows with bat
tering rhetoric nor make them sweet
tempered with special pleading. And
one of these ugly facts which will “meet
us at l’hillippi” or at tho polls in the
year of our Lord 1892 is that the McKin
ley bill is the biggest show and hum
bug of tho generation.
It is a cheat and a He from the enact
ing clause to the last syllable.
The poor man gets no more wages,
no more work, gets no more anything.
Yes, we mistake, he does get one thing
—he gets left.
It costs him more for his table and for
his wardrobe, more for medicine and
| more for the coffin in which ho buries
j his dead. The McKinley bill is a curse
which dogs his steps at every turn and
follows him to the grave.
That is the issue for tho next cam
paign, and the people will make it red
hot for the party bosses and tricksters
who have played them for fools.
A iuiKAi.TiEit in Illinois has just been
arrested for making counterfeit money.
This is a strange thing, but the still
stranger fact appears, according to his
confession, that the reason ho went into
the business was because his salary was
so small as a minister of the gospel that
he had to do something to pay expenses.
In other words, necessity nude him the
victim of temptation. While this can
be no excuse for his criminal action, yet
it leads to the thought that the minister,
like any other laborer, is worthy of his
hire, and that poverty may prove too
much for even tbe worker in the gospel
lield to bear
Last week the notorious Commission
er of Pensions Raum approved and
signed a pension certificate in favor of
one John G. Ilildt, who lost an arm dur
ing tho war, which is s lid to be the lar
gest la amount, ever issued by the pen
sion bureau. The amount of the certifi
cate was $19,.700. all for back pensions,
dating as far hack as 1892, And yet
Ilildt has been confined in the govern
ment insane asylum since 1892—a ward
of the nation with his every want sup
plied—and lie had no hand in obtaining
the pension.
The report that a well known young
Georgian fought a duel with a Russian
count in Chicago is discredited. Geor
gians have plenty of fight when the
necessity arises for fighting. It is, how
ever, a truth known of all men that
Georgia duellists don’t duel.
