Dr. Winchester, of tlie Third
Baptist church, Atlanta, gives
in tlie Index some facts about
Slattery, liis statements ueserve
the respect of tlie Christian
yrorltj. He claims that the ex
Priest is siucere and desires to
do good ih exposing the errors
of Roman Catholicism.
It is the advice of every oody
to tt eir friends that it is out of
place to cry hard limes. Well,
suppose that bargain is made as
a mitter of experiment. Let
merchants and others advertise
as iu days gone and help to put
a business like face before the
people, aud we believe the ef¬
fect would be good and the re
suit satisfactory.
xtev. J.F. Edens, who writes
the “Field Notes” for the Christ¬
ian Index, makes a mistake
when he says that the Baptists
of Eaton ton ha\ e beeu wor
shaping in the old Union church
forty years. The buildiug was
put up in IS 19. Since that time
all the denominations worship¬
ped there until 1850, when the
Methodists withdrew and built
their own house. The Baptists
have worshipped in the old
house 76 years, aud the
est revival Georgia ever
neseed had its b^giniug in this
dear old church, if we mistake
not. The worshipping together
fc*-"-,****:!*-?- deep chnstian spirit, did not in
terfervvith an
«d revival.
THE PERILS OF RICHES.
A few Sundays ago I he
subject of the lesson was “The
Rich Young Ruler,” the design
of which was to teach the perils
of riches.
We do not propose to discuss
the lesson, or comment upon the
conduct of the young ruler, but
to indulge a few reflections up¬
on the apparent greed in this
day to gain riches or to get
money.
The rich feel it their dutr to
strive to accurnalate and hoard
away greater riches in order
to satisfy an incatiate thirst
which seems beyond control.
They stand in awe for fear
their hold will be lost and that
they will he placed in the role
of a beggar. It is proper for
them to be cautious and to act
wisely in maintaiug a com¬
mendable economy in the man¬
agement of tilt ir estates of land,
stocks and securities, but there
is a danger line—we may say
two—the one over which they
step places them on the side of
penuriousness, selfishness and
hard heartedness, immovable to¬
wards the deeds of charity, or
even the words of comfort to¬
wards their fellowmen in want
and distress. The other places
them beyond tho cries of the
suffering and lends them on to
self-induJgenco, extravagance,
voluptuousness and dissipation,
holding high carnival with
companions of like passions and
tastes.
The one is illustrated in the
man of wealth, who holds his
gold as in a vice, denying him¬
self of the comforts of life, and
turning a deaf ear to the wants
of those around him. The oth¬
er is demonstrated in high life
by the gratification of every de¬
sire, the satisfying of every
whim, having so much of this
world’s goods that there can be
found not enough upon which
to expend his ill gotten gains.
The one is in perils of unrest
and misery because of a dwarfed
heart, being consumed by the
fires of stinginess and greed.
The other is in perils of unhap¬
piness because of extravagance
and prodigality, condemned by
his own conscience and unwar¬
ranted by the laws of God.
These are they who are in the
perils of riches, Which fail to
give happiness in this life,
aud which give no assurance of
eternal life. But there are
those on the other extreme, who,
too, may be said to be in the
perils of riches, though they be
in the rags of poverty. Necessity
forces such to work, toil and
clamor for the almighty dollar,
so much so that they forget
their relationship and duty to
their fellows. They go in for¬
bidden paths, seeking some¬
thing to drown their thoughts
of poverty, or veuture in their
eagerness after that to which
they have no right. They have
placed themselves in the same
condemnation with the rich in
seeking after the almighty dol¬
lar for the gratification of an in¬
ordinate desire. But still an¬
other class—more commenda¬
ble—eager for the dollar only
for the sustenance of life and to
do good to others. They recog¬
nize the necessity for money,
and yet can see how and when
to use it for their own comfort
and for benefactions in their
communities . These are they
who are not in perils, but have
1 free spirits, and will in the end
receive the welcome plaudit,

Iu the history of the 'nineteenth con -
tnry there is nothing more remarkable
than the uninterrupted series of land
and naval victories Japan has won from
China.
The era of the long distance electric
railway ivas already begun. From Val¬
paraiso to Chicago is a good stretch.
An electric railway will be running be¬
tween those cities soon.
Too much wheat growing in the
north, too mncli cotton growing in the
aouth, will necessitate a change in the
agricultural programmo of those sec¬
tions if farmers expect to prosper.
Not altogether wrong are they either.
Only for this American instinct of going
away from the old nost and bettering
things tho country would not have been
•ettlod and civilized with the amazing
rapidity it has been. „
A. B. Shcpporson, editor of Cotton
Facts, thinks the southern farmers have
given too much attention to cotton rais¬
ing. His summing up of the duty now
before them is a good one. They should
raise on their farms, he says, all man¬
ner of food products, fruits, etc., and
keep cotton as a surplus or money crop.
That is to say, they should raise their
food at home and make their money off
cotton.
There is ono thing we can say in the
United States from this day on. It is
that no queen or empress was ever wed¬
ded with more costly splendor than the
youngest daughter of the late Jay Gould
was. The cost of the floral decorations
was not equaled in Russia when Prin¬
cess Aiix married the czar. The lavish
display which empires and kingdoms
buILt: ,ze for their rulers on festal oc¬
casions was in some respects excelled by
that indulged in by on American pri¬
vate citizen.
It is claimed now that Koch’s tuber¬
culin hypodermically administered will
onre insanity. The tuberculin raises a
fever in the insane patient After it has
subdued tho patient is no longer so crazy
as he was. After a few treatments he is
oured and in his right nind. This does
not sound as though itconJd be true, al¬
though Professor Wagner of Vienna
university says it is. If it should turn
out to be true, however, perhaps tuber
onlin might also do something for cranks
and those American women who are so
insane on the point of marrying foreign
rakes of so called noble blood.
The New York Sun is in favor of re¬
establishing the institution of tho whip¬
ping post for ‘ ‘men brutes. ’ ’ It heartily
approves the addition to the state penal
code of laws fixing punishment by the
lash for criminals whose misdemeanor
consists in the "infliction of physical
pain or suffering ou the person of an
other." That is the way the proposed
addition to the peual laws of Now
York puts it. Under this provision
"men brutes” who half kill their ,
wives, children or other* of their fel¬
low creatures by beating or violence
of any kind may be brought to a real¬
izing sense of their vilonoss by a taste
of physical suffering on their own
persons. The flogging proposod by tho
New York act is to consist of not more
than 40 lashes administered upon the
bare warden back in and a prison physician and only. in presence This of is J j
a
well. There will be uo demoralizing
public whipping post exhibitions. Ruf¬
fians soon are accustomed to imprison¬
ment and do not mind it But the tough¬
est brute in human shape could scarce¬
ly become so accustomed to flogging
upon the bare back as not to writhe un¬
der it One lesson of this sort would
last even a drunken wifo boater a long
time. There seems to be a growing pub¬
lic sentiment in favor of the rehabilita¬
tion of the whipping post.
Public interest was divided the week
of the Gonld wedding between that
and another event—namely, the Van¬
derbilt divorce. Onr leading million¬
aire families, whatever else their sins
and shortcomings, have been thus far
singularly free from domestic scandals.
In that respect they were a model to
their fellow countrymen, But now
the record is broken in both the Van¬
derbilt and Astor families. At the
same time that the divorce of Mra.
William K. Vanderbilt from her hus¬
band is granted the petition of J.
Coleman Drayton for divorce from hi*
wife, Caroline Astor Drayton, is in
conrt, as well as her cross petition
against him. All right minded people
must regret these suits. Divorce is justi¬
fiable and necessary at times, but it
ought not to be either justifiable or
necessary in families that have all that
earth can afford to make them happy
a* well as honorable and clean moral¬
ly. People with the millions and the
social standing of the Asters and Van¬
derbilts ought to hold it incumbent on
themselves to set a respectable example
to the world. And whatever any crank
may say the highest and best develop
ment cf society thus far is the family
