THE DANGERS IN WHICH
OUR REPUBLIC STAND,
ANU THU SAFEGUARDS TO BE
RAISED UP AGAINST THEM
THROUGH EDUCA
TION.
11l attempting to . write this
article 1 have felt that I am
not w ithout something to say—
something that has to do with
your duty and mine as citizens
of this great republic of ours,
our duty as thinkers to direct
its policies and shape its pur
poses, to guard against the
many dangers that threaten to
subvert its principles, todestroy
the seed of decay that ignor
ance would sow down among
the people, to spread and to
teach what the workings of this
government mean, and what it
needs to insure its existence,
and to pave its pathway onward
and upward to the summit of
its course.
The dangers that, threaten
American liberty are here
among us and not elsewhere
Here is that popular ignorance
which is lead by its inflamed
passions, by prejudice, and by
partisancy. Here is that cor
rupt and fraudulent politics
which debase public morality
and destroy patriotism. Here
is that strife for popular opin
ion that, lays aside truth for
the sake of private ends. These
with others are the diseases that
threaten our liberty, and to the
cure of which we must ever
turn to the virtue and intelli
gence of our people, begotten
of the true methods of educa
tion. The fool and the deiiui
gogue are more dangerous to
the security of our republic
than would he all the allied
powers of the world. Over
against these we must raise up
the scholar and the patriot as
he hope and anchor of safety.
As the world was fabled in an
cient times to rest upon the
shoulders of Atlas, so the ex
istenceand maintenance of this
great republic rest upon tin
shoulders of the intelligent cit
izens. Then, to educate young
men is the surest, plan for per
manent liberty in this free land
of ours, for upon the intelli
gence of the citizens depend al
ways and forever the existence
of the republican form of gov
ernment.
In our form of government,
the laws are enacted according
to the wishes of a majority of
the people, and if a majority of
the people be ignorant, it is
possible that the laws are the
result of the wishes of the ig
norant Ilian those of the intel
ligent. But for the fact the
ignorant are always lead by the
intelligent, this would always
he the case. However, the
eaders are intelligent, and
some one has said the scholar
is the fair rose and expectancy
of state, and in his keeping
rests the mighty' issue as to
whether this great experiment
of the people's self government
shall be preserved, or whether,
unbalanced by ignorance and
folly, it shall full from its high
estate and in weakness shall go
to the tomb of nat ions.
We the citizens of this Amer
ican commonwealth are too se
cure in our belief in its stabili
ty; our affection for our country
is too blinded to be intelligent
mid healthful; we ure too much
inclined to regard our govern
ment as eternal. But we must
rememlier that there have been
brave men before Agamemnon;
so before this Union there have
been great, nutionul (lowers, re
publics and democracies us greut
in their day as we are in ours,
and yet one hy one Uleir lights
have been quenched and each
ind all have gone down to the
universul sepulcher of nature
ttead the history of uations,
and we lind that like men they
liuve their cradle and their
tomb, their birth and their
death, their rise, growth und
decay. The Grecian republics,
the very mother of civil liberty,
bus long since dropped the
schepter of its temporal power,
and even the language spoken
by its people is dead and heard
no more upon the tongue of
man; the city of the Ciesars,
“eternal Rome,” though she
seheptered the world and threat
ened immortality itself, has
dropped lilts' a star from the
Zenith, and its history is the
history is the history of the
past. And so, to i, this great
republic of ours, the latest born
on earth,the embodiment of the
loftiest principle*, may through
causes that corrupt and debase
its people, if uot stayed by the

The young men will of neces

therefore, the prosperity of the

who casts a ballot studies the
public question, contributes in
some degree to mold the ten

and to stand not aloof from
participation in forming public

have become corrupted is to
plead guilty of criminal neg

FROM VICTORY ACADEMY,
Editor Herald: If yen will
allow us space in your valuable
paper, we want to tell you some
thing about tlie history of our
school at old Victory Academy,
for the past two years under the
management of Prof. W. H.
Thomas. >
Prof, Thomas commenced his
first term at this place January
sth 1890, with a v.ery small at
tendance, but by perseverance,
energy and honest effort suc
ceeded in winning the confi
dence of patrons and students.
And the first term of this school
was by far the best ever known
at Victory. Before the expira
tion of the first term the en
rollment stood at 77, with a
fineaverage for the .entire term.
The community secured the sei*
vices of Mr. Thomas for 1897,
and the school lias grown be
yond the expectations of stu
dents, patrons, teachers and
friends. To your scribe this
has been a school of schools.
112 students for this term!
Mr. Thomas and the friends of
the school secured the assistance
of Mr. T. W. Ethridge, who,
by his faithful work,gained the
respect of students and patrons.
As the school grew larger, Mr.
Thomas secured a very nice
organ, which adder! to the pleas
ure of our duties. Miss Viola
Ethridge assisted during a part
of the summer term in literary
and music, and all who know
Miss Viola know her to he a
sweet singer and exceedingly
fond of music.
In April 1897 the Lord took
from our school a very bright
little girl, Mias Fannie Boss,
just entering her teens. Every
one that, knew Fannie liked her,
and it was sad indeed when we
had to part with one of our
best little friends and school
mates. Her teacher says Fan
nie was never known to disobey
But the Lord does all things
well, aud we should be ever
ready to do bis will.
To add (o the pleasure of the
students and patrons, our teach
ers arranged an interesting pro
gram for an entertainment on
Aug. “7th, hut before the sun
disappeared behind tin- West
ern lulls, and ere the song-birds
had ceased their evening songs,
the multitudes begun to assem
ble. Some feared we would
have bud order, and some of
our county’s brightest young
men und boys disgraced them
selves on that occasion. Young
men, take warning and never
lie guilty of such again if you
wish to lie successful and hap
py. The little hoys and girls
acquitted themselves with hon
or, anil the patrons and friends
were highly entertained for !1
hours tiy the primary classes.
Jimmie Crow, soil of Mr. Dave
Crow, received the prize as the
best among the little boys, and
Corrine Lowery was the success
ful little girl. The prize was a
very nice hand bibie. The
young man who won the prize
for the best speech was your
scribe (Pr« ston Simpson.) It
is the nicest hihle I ever owned,
and is not for sab- at any price.
Miss Cassie Boss, daughter of
Mr. J, J. Boss, was the success
till contestant among the young
ladies.
On Saturday evening, when
the hour came, the largest crowd
that was ever seen in Cains dis
trict on such an occasion was
present, and the order was ull
that could lie desired. Mr.
Thomas hud a very tine diction
ary class, and he gave for the
first best a nice dictionary.
Miss Lassie Boss lead sh class.
Miss Tilda Page was eeond,
and was awarded the sail e prize
as first.
Honorable mention wa < made
of Preston and John Cain, Tom
mie Biggers, Willie Rociimore,
Liza Timms. Emma Patrick,
Equilla Page, Willie Boss, Sam
Deaton, Amanda Crow and Let
tie Rochmore,
The prizes were deliv«red by
Prof. John A. Pool in a very
appropriate talk.
On Sunday the 29t.h Rev. pool
preached a short but impressive
sermon to the students ai.d
patrons.
Last but not, least was our
good-by to our dear teacher.
Never before did I witness such
a scene. Many of the students
wept, bitterly, I went, with
Prof. Thomas to the home of
Mr. .1. J. Boss for dinner. Sev
eral of the students came in,
and as the sun begun to sink in
the golden West, and we had to
part again, I saw again the
same spirit manifested as at the
school room.
Prof. Thomas goes to Har
mony Grove Academy for next
year. We are very sorry in
* teed to see him leave He
agreed to stay here if the pat
rons would ceil the building
add another room and s*at the
house with desks, as it should
be, but they failed to tin this
and Mr. Thomas leaves, well
beloved by students, patrons
and all interested in the school
He arid Miss Anna Bagwell,
daughter of Rev. G.T. Bagwell,
will have charge of the Harmo
ny Grove school, and we bo
speak for them eminent success.

wants activity. Action is every

TOMMY WAS A STRAT

A little boy dropped Ins drum
stick into a well. In vain he
entreated his pareuts, the gar

to go down into the well to re
cover his drumstick. In his dis
tress a brilliant expedient occur
red to Master Tommy—he se
cretly carried off all the plate
from the sideboard and threw
it into the well. Great was the
consternation when the plate
was missed, and an active search
for the robbers took place. In
the midst of 111" alums and con
fusion Master Tommy run with
the news that he had found the
plate, “Where?” wus the cry.
“Down the well,” replied Tom
my. “ 1 saw it right plain shin
ing at the bottom —spoons, la
dles, bread baskets, salvers and
all'” The housemaid hurried
to the well, at the’bottom of
which, sure enough, the plate
wus seen. A ladder was pro
cured, a servant descended and
the plate was brought up. Just
before the lasi article wus fished
up Master Tommy whispered to
him. “John, pleuse bring up my
drum stick when you go down

TILLMAN’S ONE EYE.
Every one knows that Senator
Tillman has only one eye, but
it is very rarely that he refers
to his affliction, says the Wash
: ington Post. In fact, the first
instance of this kind since he
has been in the Senate ocsnrred
in the debate when the armor
plate was under consideration.
In the course of the discussion
Senator Tillman asked Senator
Hale if he had ever visited the
armor plants.
“Of course I have,” replied
Senator Hale.
“I weut to Bethlehem,” said
Mr, Tillmau, “and I Certainly
watched with all the eyes that
one poor fellow bad. I did not
have but one eye, but I see a
great deal with that.”
“It is an all seeing eye,”
commented Mr. Hale.
“It cannot penetrate steel,”
responded Mr. Tillman, amid
laughter,'“hut it can penetrate
rascality.”
GAMBLING IN CRIPPLE
CREEK.
Out in Cripple creek the gam
bling houses are running in
overy saloon. They are huge
gilded affairs, where the hard
w’orking miners, after coining
from their eight hour shifts, go
to while away their time and
money instead of thinking of
home and mother and filling
their sock with money to pay
off the mortgages on the farms
back home. The men stand five
and six deep behind tho wheels
watching the players as they
risk their money, the less ad
venterous hardly having the
courage to make the play till,
having seen some man quit a
winner, they, too, step and bet
on the black or the red. On the
t Piles are stacked piles of silver
- in and gold eagles, and the
iterators of the machines every
little while take occasion to
show that the game is backed
by much more than the thou
sand or so that is in sight by
displaying a stack of bills in a
receptacle behind the table
where the notes are thrown
when paid in, with a kind of
reckless abandon that is quite
taking.
At other tables a policy wheel
will be running with so many
drawing a day. In another cor
ter of the room a crowd will be
shooting craps, a large and in
tensly absorbed crowd witness
ing the play at each place. Off
at one side a stud poker game is
running. The old miners seem
to favor this game particularly
and the grizzled features show
the intensity of t heir interest as
the chips come and go.—Nebras

It seems that the demands of

Our young men ure fust forging

their days are out. There are
some lessons we may learn just
here. Our fathers have fought
nobly amt well in the past. They
have laid foundations for us,
and it will not become us to ig

of patience and endurance and
braveley which their lives teach
us. The council of the elders
should be sought and their ad
vice considered if not alwuvs
heeded.

may lead a mighty host to vic

the old man may be the better
able to advise as to peace nego

HOW CATHOLICS EXPECT To BE
SAVED.
There is a great deal said
nowadays about liberality to
ward all kinds of religion.
There is an idea abroad that if
a person believes he is right he
will be saved whether there is
any truth in what ho believes or
not. The Romish Church has
profited greatly through this er
ror. It lias become fashionable
to enlarge on the goodness of
Catholics; and sometimes the
question is asked; “Now, when
they are so good and so self
sacrificing, why should they not
lie saved?” But people are not
saved because they are kind
hearted, self-sacrificing, ami
charitable. Only those who,
through faith in Christ., have
become now creatures have any
well-founded hope of eternal
life.
No one can iove Catholics
much better than I love some
Mexican Catholics with whom 1
have lived. I was with them
in their home while I was yet a
stranger in a strange land, try
ing with stammering tongue to
speak a strange language. I re
ceived from them every gentle
courtesy that kind hearts could
suggest; they were to me as
father mid mother and brother
aud sister; they still have a,
warm place in my heart —all of.
them, from the parents to the]
rosy, dimpled, cooing baby in
cradle.
Because I love Catholics I
want you to realize the fact
that there is no hope of salva
tion for them in the Romish
Church.
They trust in Mary for salva
tion; they do not look to Christ
for it. He is a very subordi
nate figure in their religion; In*
can do nothing unless Mary per
mits it, or, rather, unless she
suggests it. God and Christ
are always represented as angry
judges, whom Mary must pro
pitiate. For this reason they
address to her such petitions as
the following: “Health of
the sick,” “Consolation of the
affliction,” “Help of Christ
ians,” “Bray for us,” “Be thou
my Mother and my help in this
life and in the hour of my
death.”
Many a time have I stood in
Catholic churches and heard
the kneeling worshipers re|ieal
over and over a thousand times,
till it seemed that the monoto
ny of it might drive them dis
tracted; “Holy Mary, Mother
of God, pray for us sinners now
and in the hour of death.
Amen.”
Wlumi they go over t heir rosa
rite they repeat ten prayers to
Mary and one to Clod. A Cath
olic theologian, whose works are
standard among those of hi*
Church, declared: “Many
things which are asked of G->d
are not received; if they art
asked of Mary, they are obtain
ed.” He ulso says: “Some
times we shall he more prompt
ly heard and saved by having
recourse to Mary, and calling
on her holy name, than by in
voking the name of Jesus, our
Saviour.” In view of tln-se
facts one of their leading theo
logians has admitted that the
liomish Church is the Church of
Mary, and not the Church of
Christ.
They believe that they are
saved by their baptism—that is,
tiy the sprinkling which the
priests administer, together
with the spittle, salt and conse
crated oil. A Mexican will
say: “Mrs. So-and-So did not
have her baby baptized! How
dreadful! If it should die, it
would he lost!”
Hut no Catholic has that
peaceful, restful feeling that
one has who feels that his sins
are pardoned by Christ. For
this reason they have several
ways of obtaining salvation.
They do [reliance to secure the
pardon of their sins. There is
a house of penance in this city
that will accommodate fifteen
hundred [ample at once, and
several times during the year it
is fu 1. They scourge their
hare shoulders till the blood
Hows, and they till the house
with screams and groans, ti«-
'•00 PER ANNUM, IN ADVANCE
sides this, they do penance in
the churches and in private.
1 hey crawl along the floors i f
the churches, ar.d kneel for
hours with extended arms. Not
only the ignorant ppople do
these things, but all classes do
so,
They expect to be saved by
good works. It is more diffi
cult to introduce tho idea of
freedom of salvation into the
mind of a Catholic than any
other, perhaps. You may talk
to them for hours, and tell
them all tho Scriptures that
you know on the subject, and
at the end of it all they wil
turn to you and say: “But
won’t He save me for my good
works? How can He let mo be
lost if I do good works?”
This explains why nuns M ill
go on battlefields, among the
flying balls, and nurse leppers
on the lower Mississippi and in
the islauds of the Pacific. They
are buying their salvation.
You ami I have seen the day
when even those things would
have seemed easier to us than
just giving up our own way and
trusting in Christ.
But after doing all these
j things and many others to se
cure salvation, including the
last confession, extreme unc
tion, and the absolution of th>
priest, every one of them (lie
trying desperately to cling to
the hope that thousands of
ypars of suffering in tho flame*
of purgatory may so purify him
that he may at last enter heav
en—provided, of course, his
friends w ill pay the priests suf
. tieient money to secure his re
' lease. This is their last hope,
and, naturally, it is one to
which both the learned and ig
j uorant cling with great tenaci

SHORT SAYINGS.
Regrets do not make redress.
The big talker is a little doer,
A short man may be a tall
liar. *
The fust liver is generally a
slow payer.
The loud talker is seldom a
strong thinker.
A stingy soul is to he pitied
for its littleness.
A heart full <>f love will make
a life full of joy.
Hotter to lead time than to
be driven by it. '
It is impossible to read with
out profiting by it.
A happy fireside is better than
a big bank account.
He who never drives his work
is always driven by it.
Stinginess and economy are
not akin to each other.
What a miserable aim has he
who lives for himself alone.
He who is big in his own eyes
is small in other people's.
Opportunities are bald behind
—you must catch them by the
forelock.
Directness of aim is of more
importance than loudness of
•eport.
You always make more ene
mies than money talking poli
tics on the street corner.
The man who considers buy
ing on credit au easy way to
get things, is not a safe man to
trust.
The real happiness of life can
not be bought with money, aud
the poor may have it as well as
the rich.
If the grumbler would only
straighten himself out lie would
find a great deal less to com
pluin of.
Plant a crop of good books in
vour home us regularly as you
do seed in your soil, aud when
you g* t old you will not regret
it.—Exchange.
