A poll tax was never beared of un¬
til 1377. The troubles following the
death of the Black Prince made its
necessary to raise revenue rapidly,
and a poll tax was accordingly levied
and paid without a murmur. It was
justified only on tho ground of a
pressing emergency, and it never
entered the heads of the statesmen
of those days that such a tax would
be submitted to as a regular thing.
Bishop Foster took occasion the

clergymen and laymen in New York
that the current belief of an ap

delusive. Ilis belief is based upon
ike fact that the world’s fifteen hun¬
dred millions, not one third are yet
Christians With so vast a prooor
tion of the ignorance of the word of
God, the bishop thinks that there is
work for generations yet to came be
fore the arrival of the millennium.
Half the actual trouble of life
would be saved if people would re¬
member that silence is golden—
when they are irritated, vexed or
annoyed. To feel provoked or exas¬
perated at a trifle, when the nerves
are exhausted, is perhaps natural to
us in our imperfectly sanctified
state But why put the annoyance
into the shape of speech, which once
uttered, is remembered, which may
burn like a blistering wound, or
rankle like a poisoned arrow? If a
child be trying, or a friend capricious
or a servant unreasonable, be careful
what you say. Do not speak while
you feel the impulse of anger, for
you will be almost certain to say too
much, to say more than your cooler
judgement will approve, and to
speak in a way that you will ap
prove, and to speak in a way that
you will regret. Be silent until the
“sweet by and-by,” when you shall
be calm, rested, and self-controled.

TRUTH, JUSTICE AND PROGRESS FOREVER,
CONYERS, GEORGIA, NOVEMBER 21, 1885.
HARD AT WORK.
ONE 3Y ONE THE RASCALS FILE BY
FOR DEMOCRATS.
The President Shakos Hands Daily with
Hundreds of Callers, etc, etc.
Washington, Nov. 17, 1SS5.
As the members of the Forty
ninth- congress assemble in the city,
it is interesting to note upon the
laces of republicans an expression
of discouragement. They feel that
the democrats have come to reign
for a long time. They bave ceased
talking about candidates for 1888.
Before the elections there was so
much said on the subject here that
one might have thought that the
country was on the eve o” another
presidential election.
You hear nothing more now about,
a war in the senate. Republican
senators are in a measure subdued,
while the talk of democratic sena¬
tors is conservative and loyal.
The defeat of Mahone causes the
republicans to regard the senatorial
contest iu Oregon with great anxie¬
ty. Their majority in the senate is
getting beautifully slim. In case a
tie occurs as it did a few years ago,
Vice President Hendricks cannot be
caught sitting on the fence some
times, as was Uncle David Davis.
Mr. Hendricks’ vole can always be
counted in advance.
The forecast of the position to be
taken by members of the new eon
gress on the silver question, recently
published, is not regarded as likely
to prove true after congress has met
and received the president’s message
and the report of Secretary Man
ning. The president and the secre
tary are not likely to occupy differ¬
ent ground from that taken by Mr.
Cleveland last spring. It is thought
lie will appeal reasonably to both
houses of congress to support his
views and try them in practice.
Though you may not hear a great
deal about it, changes iu the offices
have been constantly going on here
since the fourth of March. They go
on gradually, but anyone going into
the departments after an absence of
nine months would find but few fa¬
miliar faces at the desks of the high¬
er officials. In the treasury, for in
stance, both of the assistant secre
tunes are dcmocrals. The solicitor
of the treasury is a democrat, as is
also the commissioned’ of internal
revenue, the treasurer, and the reg¬
ister of the treasury. A democrat
lias succeeded the old commissioner
of customs; and the new director of
the mint is a democrat. The first
and second comptrollers aie demo¬
crats; all six of the auditors are
democrats; a democratic appoint¬
ment clerk files away applications;
a democrat signs the report of the
bureau of statistics, and there are
many changes lower down the line.
The new appointees have been good
men. possessing qualifications that
suited them for their duties.
There are few men in the service
of the government who work harder
than the head of the treasury. Ai.d
as one of his subordinate officers
said, “The worst of it is, he expects
every body else to work.” The same
officer continued: “Manning is a
great liig lei low, full of blood and as
strong as a horse. He can sit up all
night at his desk and be as fresh as
a daisy next morning, but we can’t
stand it.” Mr. Manning has no res

The pr (ie nt is working at his

A NOBLE HEART.
The glory of man is that lie mas¬
ters circumstances—his sliame is
that he allows circumstnces to mas¬
ter him. The late Alexander II.
Stephns, of Georgia, began active
life environed by painful limitations
and weighted with physical disabili¬
ties. Small in body, feeble in
strength, and the victim of chronic
disease, be seemed better fitted for
an invalid’s retreat than for the lead¬
ership of men. Yet be leaped over
his limitations, mastered his disabil¬
ities, and vividly illustrated the
power of mind over matter. IBs
life was crowded by the interruptions
of ill health; yet ho was an lintir
ing worker, There were weeks in
which he was obliged to live a re¬
cluse; nevertheless, he was a leader
of men.
Some of his most effective speeches
were made when, his legs being par
alyzed, and his body chilled, he was
swathed in flannel, and wheeled on
an invalid’s chair into tlie broad
aisle of the House of Representa¬
tives.
At his death eminent men eulo¬
gized him and lifted up their hands
in astonishment, at the work lie had
wrought. The secret rested in the
fact that he had a mind to work and
a will to execute his mind’s purpose.
Mr. Stephens was intensely lm
man. IBs slaves loved him and
clung to their old home even when
made freedmen. The dogs rushed
to greet him and fought for a place
by his side.
The parish of our civilization is
the tramp. Men fling a crust to
him as they do to nobody’s dog.
But at “Liberty Hall,” tho name of
Mr. Stephens’ plantation, a room
was fitted up for the accommodation
of these modern gypsies. found Someone himself
referring to the fact
silenced by the simple reply:
“Yes, I try to make everybody as
happy as I can.”
At his death,a friend spoke of him
as one who “gathered sheaves of
hearts,” “the deeper his sufferings
the more sensitive his charity.”
Others eulogized the dead states¬
man in eloquent words, but the
most expressive tribute came from
the choking utterance of a former
slave:
“Mars Alec was kinder to dogs
than most people are to folks!”
The secret of his unselfishness was
this: he was an humble Christian,
loving God and trying to do good to
m en.—A11 1 ens Cb ronicle.

An old undertaker says the rich

home. They work in the min, live
in hot rooms, and enervate them¬
selves until they loose their health

THE WHY AND THE WHEREFORE.
The Boston Herald has been ask¬
ing a number of southerh public
men why the south is solid. Some
give one reason and some another,
but their replies, summed up,
amount to the same thing. This is
the third or fourth time during t he
past ten years that prominent south¬
ern men have been asked to explain
the existence of the solid south, but
still it remains a mystery to those
organs of northern public opinion
that profess to know all about south¬
ern polities, all about the negro
questions and all about the situa¬
tion at the south.
To our mind, the most mysterious
thing about the solid south is the
real or affected ignorance of northern
people that ought to know all about
it. The solid south is its own ex¬
cuse and explanation. It has a dell
nite and pressing reason for exist¬
ence, or it would not exist. It is
soliil for honest government, both
local and federal, and its solidity is
due to circumstances over which the
people of the south have no control.
The south is solid only in demora¬ its op¬
positions to the corrupt and
lizing purposes of the republican
party. The republican party
may be a very honest and very
decent party at the north, and its
leaders and representatives are no
doubt entitled to the conlidenco and
respect of the voters who believe in
them; but this species of republican¬
ism is unknown at the south. The
people have no acquaintance with it,
and know of it only by heresay. The
republicanism with which our peo
pie are most thoroughly acquainted
is the next tiling to incendiarism.
It played havoc with the best inter¬
ests of the, south just after the war,
having an opportunity then that it
will never have again. It inflamed
the negroes against the whites and
played a scheme of red-handed ven¬
geance without parallel. It is re
sponsible for" the murder of thous¬
ands of unfortunates; it is responsi¬
ble for the race issue; it is responsi¬
ble for all the fear and confusion
and cruelty that marked the recon¬
struction periods; it is responsible
for what lias boon aptly termed thu
rape of the southern states, and it is
responsible for the wholesale robbery
of those states.
The sum and substance of the
whole matter is that the south is
solid in behalf of honest government,
in behalf of their property and in
behalf of their social organization.
It may ho said that there is no long¬
er any danger, but there is a. perpet¬
ual danger where it is possible for
ignorant suffrage to be led by irre¬
sponsible men. The solidity of the
south is a necessity of the situation,
and that is a sufficient explanation.
