With (toil, who weighs the thoughts and intents of the mind and heart, sin is sin, and he who hates his brother, is guilty of sin, us well as he w ho slays him. Hut with fallible men there are, and must Im distinctions, and there is a vast difference lad ween the man who covets and the one w ho steals, tietween lie who lusts and he who is unclean in his life. Is there no difference between liie city authorities, who for a con sideration, paid the city grants to the seller license and the seller, between the one who votes lo legalize the business and w ho ad vertises the same, and the seller/ Have we not always made a dis tinction?

When he became so involved in business relations (hat tie felt he would Is- forced to own an interest in this bar, he should havesurren dered his privilege of aspiring to any office in the gift of the people. It is certainly wrong to ask his fellow-citizens to endorse his con duet. His high standing in church , and State makes the act more harm | fill and therefore the temperance! cause hits received a severe blow in j the house of her friends, and if he is nominated in the face of it., tin* blow will lie magnified many fold, and we and others will necessarily have less confidence in the stabil ity and integrity of our own acts and purposes in this behalf. Let ns not try to avoid the issue by hair splitting or try to justify a greater wrong by showing that some one else is doing some other Mr. Smith is of age, and a great lawyer, and he knows that he could not la* forced to ow n a joint interest in a bar. So we are forced to the conclusion that he is willing | to it. To contend to the contrary is a travesty on common sense,and an insult to the intelligence of the people. Suppose (and Mr. (tuerry will pardon me for this supposition) I Unit three years ago, when Mr. Uuerry wus canvassing the State for himself and temperance, some one should have asked him if he did not own an interest in the bar in the Lanier House in Macon,anil lie should have replied “That he did, but he gave away all the pro fits ol it,” I ask my friend if it would have been an answer that should have satisfied the con science for some one to reply that Mr. Kstill, one of the other candi dates, was tin* owner of the Savan nah News, ami he publishes in it the mlvertmeinents of liq tor i houses? I Would thiil have lessened the Since writing the above I re eeived a letter stating that Mr. Howell was a memlier of the Capi tal Ulty (Hub and that this club takes out license to sell liquor. Upon inquiry it was ascertained that these statements were true and that it, was further true that Mr. Smith was one of the charter men hers of this corporation. And also that there are lictwcen three and four hundred prominent business men of Atlanta belonging to the same. It was ascertained that none but members could partici pate in its privileges, and no mem Opportunities in California The trade in the Orient is opening up.
