Hurrah for Northen.
While we are not disposed to treat
anyone with disrespect or unkindness,
neither do we laud such conduct in
others, yet the following language,
used by Governor Northen in reply
to Mayor Hemphill’s invitation to
meet the Gould party is a fitting re
buke to that oppressive despotism
that has characterized the life of Jay
Gould.
This is .the note as clipped from
the Athens Banner without head or
signature: •
“I recognize with the fullest appre
ciation the consideration shown me as
the chief executive of the state and 1
beg leave to tender you my thanks
for the compliment. I must be
allowed to say, however, that I do
not recognize Mr, Gould as visiting
the slate in any official capacity, but
rather in his own interests without
regard to the people of the state. 1
may be mistaken in my measure of the
man, but I am caudid in saying, that
I do not think his methods as prac
ticed in other sections where he has
had power, would develop our state
on the line of the public good.
Without in the least criticising the
opinions of others, and thanking you
most heartily for the compliment in
tended in the invitation you so kindly
tendered me, I must most respectfully
decline.
Please understand that what I say
refers specially and solely to Mr.
Gould, and not any other members of
his party.”
There is something heroic in this
modern movement to rescue the most
degraded of the children of nen. Back
of it is the grand conception of
Christianity which thinks of our bless
ed religion not as a luxury suited
especially for those “who dwell in
kings’ courts, and who live delicately,’
but as the heaven designed remedy
for the sick, the source of hope for
the prodigals and the harlots, the
refuge of those who’have been cast
out and trodden under foot of men.
Rescue work is not a hopeless under
taking. Its results are fairly commen
sal-’ ..ith the efforts put forth.
Witness Jerry MeAifle.', Die
r r - —rtiormed and redeemed
drunkards, whom it is possible to find
in almostanygreatcity, where rescuing
agencies have been in operation any
length of time.—Congregationalist.
George Kennan finds the greatest
possible assistance in his wife The
couple have no children, and she is
enabled - o devote all her time to her
husband’s interests, which she does
both willingly and successfully. Each
day finds her at work recopying man
uscripts, reading proofs, translating
some Russian piece, or going over the
receipts from his work, and seeing to
its investment or deposit. Mrs. Ken
nan is a thorough business woman, of
considerable business tact, and of a
great deal of personal attractiveness.
The Interior says: “The New York
ministers who are contributing articles
tor the Sunday papers, each one ad
vocating his own denomination, are
contributing their strength to the
breaking down of respect for the Sab
bath. No man who will devote his
Sunday mornings to reading of the
contents of the Sunday daily will long
have a high idea of the sacredness of
the day, or much respect for the
sanctuary. When the sacrednss of the
Sabbath is gone there is not much of
it left.”
True, we shall jrass through that
river which is named Death; but it is
a misnomer; like the Jordan when
Isreal passed into Canaan, the Lord
hath rebuked it, and it is dried
up. YVe shall pass through the
valley of the shadow of death, and
that is all; and thus we shall reach a
higher stage of being, in which we
shall be ‘ forever with the Lord.”—
Spurgeon.
This is what Hurts. The editor
of a religious paper who frequently
writes against Sabbath desecration,
recently received this note from
railroad passenger agent: “You often
speak about Sunday trains. Here is
the great Methodist Episcobal church
applying from two points on .our line
for Sunday excursion trains; and they
not only want to get the people to
the conference, but they want to
speculate on it, making something for
the benefit of churches. What can a
soulless corporation do under sueli
circumstances?—Xashville Advocate.
The Drink Traffie.
So far as the conferences are con
cerned the sentiment of Methodism
on the drink traffic is not ambiguous.
It is practically unanimous. It deep
ens in intensity. It reveals the ac
tion of disappointed hope and blight
ed faith. It declares a lofty disdain
of parties as such. It affirms undying
fealty to prohibition. It has no faith
in the principle of licensing or taxing
the iniquity. It avers solemnly that
the only consistent attitude toward
this sin is that of prohibition. It will
be voted. All parties do well to note
the prediction. They must elect be
tween the support of temperance men
and whisky men. d’artv ties will
consume in the fires of conscience.
If you want our votes, deserve them.
We ask bread, fish: you have given
us stones, serpents. Our children
and our homes are of profoumler con
cern to us than tariff or free trade or
official patronage. The saloon must
go.—Western Advocate.
The London authorities are think
ing about beginning public improve
ments on a vast scale in order to fur
nish work for the unemployed. No
city and no country can afford to
have large numbers of its people suf
fer when they are willing to work. If
relief will come in no other; way the
government must take action.—Atlan
ta Constitution.
The ruler of tiro business world is
the man who advertises wisely and
largely.
If thou art wise thou knowest thine
own ignorance, and thou art ignorant
if thou knowest not thyself.—Luther.

A writer la a medical paper says he
ho had frequently obtained much relief
from facial neuralgia by applying an
incandescent light to the part affected.
He suggested that the lamp could also
be used in poulticing advantageously.
It could be laid over a flaxseed or other
form of poultice, and constant heat
could be thus secured.—New York Td
