TABERNACLE SERMON.
Dr, Talmage’s Discourse Sunday
Morning.
“SALUTATION FROM THE CHARIOT?
Brookln, December 4.—(Special. Tb.i is
pftcrainoutnl day in Brooklyn tabernacle. The
mon*, than 4,008 communicant members : nd
many strangcra from all parts of the world make
it a memorable scene. New members were re
ceived, and some of them were baptized this
morning.
□’he congregation, led by organ and cornet,
sang:
••Dear h ing lamb, thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power,
Tili nil the ransomed church of God
Ee f.avc Ito sin no more.”
The Bev. T. DeWitt Talmage preached.
II is subject was “Salutation from tho Char
iot,” and his text 11. Kings, chapt. 10, v. 15:
“Is tbinc heart right?”
With metllod horses at full ‘•peed, for he
was celebrated for fast driving, Jehu, the
warrior end king, returns from battle. But
seeing Jehonadab, an acquaintance, by the
wayside, he shouts, “Whoa! Whoa!” to the
lathered sp in. Then leaning over to Jehona
dab, John halutes him in the words of the
text —words not mon; appropriate for that hour
and that place than for this hour and place.
Is thims heart right? I should like to hear
of your phybiral health. Well, my.M If. I like
to have everybody else well; and bo might ask,
Is your eye-sight right, jour hearing right,
your nerves light, j’ottr lungs right, your en
tire body right? But lam busy today taking
dmgm sis of the mure important spiritual con
di! ions.
1 should like to hear of yonr financial wel
fare. I want everybody to have plenty of
jnoiiey, ample apparel, large storehouse and
comfortable re id»*m, , and 1 might ;ui . !
your business right, your income right, your
worldly • uiTomidiiig’ right? But what arc
tb.e e hnnnrial questions Compared with the
inquiry as to whether you have been able to
j>a;. ymir debts Io t Jod : as t<> whether yon are
insured for eternity; as to’ whether y >u are
ruining yours* If by the long-c redit system of
thoßoul? 1 have known men to ha u more
than one loaf of bread at a time, and yet to
own a government bond of heaven worth more
than the whole material universe.
The question I ;s«k you today is not in re
gard to your habits. I make no inquiry about
your integrity, or your chastity, or your so
briety. Ido not mean to stand on the outside
of the gate and ring the bell; but coming uj»
the ste; s I opt n the <|< or and come to the pri
vate, apartment of the boul; and with the
oarnt him ss of a man that must givnan account
forth b <lay’s work, J cry out. Oh, man, oh,
woman immortal, is thine heart right?
I will net in ult. you by an argument to
prove that we are by n 1 re all wrong. If
tlicre be a factory explosion, and the snioke-
Ktack Im n; at, e.ud the w'.«<?!» be broken in
two, and tin* ■. ng ne iinjo-uid, and the pon
derous bars be Mwistud, and a man should look
In ami say that nothing was the matter, you
would pri noum e him a fool. W< 11, it needs
iio acumen to discover that our nature is all
fitwist and askew ami unjointed. The thing
doesn’t work rigid. Thu biggest trouble we
have in the world is with our souls.
Men soim timos say that though their lives
may not be just right, their heart is all right.
Inqx»- ible! A farmer never puts the poorest
apples on top of his barrel; nor does the nu r
chant place the meanest goods in his show
window. The best part of uh is our outward
life, Ido not slop to discuss whether we all
fell in Adam, for we have been our own Ad
ftm, and have all eaten ol the forbidden fruit,
und have been turned out of the paradise of
holiness and peace; and though tho flaming
sword that stood at the gate to keep us out has
changed position and comes behind to drive us
in, we will not go.
The Bible account of us is not exaggerated
when it says that wo are poor ami wretched,
and miso ruble, and blind, and naked. Poor;
the wretch that stands shivering on our door
step on a cold day is not so much in need of
broad ns we are of spiritual help. Blind ; why,
the man whose eyes perished in the powder
blast, and who for these ten years has gone
feeling his way from street to street, is not in
such utter darkness as we. Naked; why,
there is not one rag of holiness left to hide the
shame of onr s;n. Sick ; why, the leprosy has
eaten into the head, and the heart, ami the
hands, and the feet; and the marabous of an
everlasting wasting away has already seized
on whiii' of us.
But the meanest thing for a man to do is to
discourse about an evil without pointing
n way to have it remedied. 1 speak of the
thirst of your hot tongue only that 1 may
•how you the living stream that drops crystal
line and sparkling from the Rock of Ages,
and pours a river of gladness at your feet. If
J show you the rents in your coat, it is only
because the door of God’s wardrobe now
swings open, and here is a robe, white with the
fleece of the Lamb of God, and of a cut and
inakothut an angel would not bo ashamed to
wear. If 1 snatc h from you the black, mouldy
bread that you are mum hing, it is only to give
you the bread made out of the finest wheat
that grows on the celestial hills, and baked in
the tires of the cross, ami one crumb of which
would Im*, enough to make all heaven a ban
quet. Hear it. one and all, and tell it to your
friends when you go home, that tho Lord Je
sus Christ can make the heart right.
First wo need a repenting heart. If for the last
ten, twenty or forty years of life we have, been
going on in tin* wrong wav, it is time that we
turned around ami started in tho opimsite di
rection. If we offend our friends wo are glad
to apologize. < led is our best friend, and yet
Low many of us have never apologized for the
wrongs we have done Him.
There is nothing w<» so much need to get
rid of ns sin It is a horrible black monster.
It polluted Eden. It killed Christ. It has
blasted the world. Men keep dogs in kennels,
rabbits in a warren, ami cattle in a pen. What
n man that would be that would shut them
up in Li« t a: lor. But this foul dug of sin, and
these herds of transgression, wo ha\e enter
tained for many a long year in <>ur heart,
which should be the cleanest, brightest room
in all our nature. Out with tho vile herd!
Begone, >u brfoolers of nn immortal nature!
Turn out the hearts, and let Christ e< me mi!
A heathen came to an early Christian v. ho had
the reputaiion of curing <liseasc< The Chri -
tian s nd, *■ You must have all your idols de- i

the key to bis house, that ho might go in ami I

Many a man has awakened in his dying hour
t<» film his sins all about him. They clamber
ed up on tho right side of the bed. and on the
left side, and over the headboard, and over the
ft»oiboard, and horribly devoured the soul.
‘‘Ki jH'nt the voice celestial cries,
Nor i-mger dure delay;
The wretch that scorns the mandate die*,
And mc< t> a ('cry day.”

arms of Jesus were stretched out so
wide that when ho brought them to

of th. spring, or the Homing foliage of the

that all .ne triumphal arches of —the world
could bo swung in one gateway, where tho

In ar us. Stop! harps of heaven, that our poor

< )h,my Jxird Jesus! it will not hurt Theo for
one l our to stop out from tho shining throng.
They will make it all up when Thou gocst
bm I: .■gn'ii. Come hither, O blessed One, that
we may kiss Thy f mt. Our hearts, too long
wilhli. hl, we now surrender into Thy keeping.
\Vlmn Tima guest back, tell it to all tho immor

Th y have some old wino in hoavt ii, not
; d except in rare festivities. In this world,
tin '■ who arc accustomed to use wine on great
m. udons bring out tho beverage and say,
“ I'bi-t v. lne i; thirty years old,” or “forty years
old.” But. the wine of heaven is more than
eighteen centuries old. It was prepared at the
time when Christ trod the wine-press alone.
Win n such grievous sinners as wo
ci'iiie back, methinks tho chamber
lain of leaven cries out to the ser
v..uts. ' Tbi <is unusual joy! Bring tip from
the vaults of Heaven that old wine. fFill all
the tankards. Let all the whiterolaid guests
drink to the immortal health of those now
born sons ami daughters of the Lord Almigh
ty.” There is joy in Heaven among tiie
angels of (lad over one sinner that reponteth;
and < L il grant that that one may bo you!
Again, in order to have aught heart it must
lie a fat giving heart. And oil writer says:
“To render good for evil is God-like; good for
good man-like; evil for good duvil-like.”
Which of these natures aro wo? Christ will
have nothing to do with us as long as wo have
any old grudge. Wo have all been cheated
and lie.d about. There are people who dislike
us so much that if we should come down to
poverty and disgrace, they would say, “Good
for him! Didn't I tell you so?’.’ Theynevcr
have understood us and never wiil
They do not understand us. Un-
saneiificd human nature says, “Wait till yon
got a good cradk at him, and when at last you
find him in a tight place, give it to him. Flay
him alive. No quarter. Heave not a rag of
reputation. -lump on hitn with both feet,
l ay him in his own coin—sarcasm for sarcasm,
si orn for scorn, abuse for abuse.” But, my
friends, that is not. tho right kind of heart.
No mini ever did so mean a tiling toward us as
tvo have done toward God. And if wo cannot
forgive, others, how t an we expect God to for
give us? Thousands of men have been kept
out of Iv aven by an unforgiving heart.
Hero is some one who cays, "I will forgive
that man the wrong ho did me about that
house and lot; 1 will forgive that man who
overreached mo in a bargain: I will forgive
that man who sold mo a shoddy overcoat; I
forgive them - all but one. That man 1 can
not forgive. The viUian—l can hardly keep
my bands off of him. If niy going to
heaven depends on my forgiving him,
then 1 will stay out.” Wrong feel
ing! If a man lie to mo once, lam not called
to trust him again. If a man betray me once,
I am not called to put confidence in him
again. But I would have no restif I could
not offer a sincere prayer for the temporal and
everlasting welfare of all men, whatever
meanness ami outrage they have inflicted upon
me. It you want to get your heart right,strike
a match and burn up all your old grudges, and
blow tho ashes awa_v. "If yon forgive not men
their trv.passes, neither will your heavenly
Father forgive you your trespasses.”
An old Christian black woman was going
along the streets of New York with a basket
of apples that she had for sale. A
rough sailor ran against her and upset the bas
ket, and stood buck expeeting to hear her scold
frightfully ; but she stooped down and picked
up the apples, and said. "God forgive you, my
son, ns 1 do." The sailor saw the meanness of
what ho had done, and felt in his pocket for
his money, and insisted that she should take it
all. Though she was black, bo called her
mother, and said, "Forgive me, mother: I will
never do anythingsomean again.” Ah! there
is a power in a forgiving spirit to overcome all
hardness. There is no way of eon<|uering men
like that of bestowing upon them your pardon,
whether they will accept it or not.
Again, a right heart is an expeotant heart.
It is a poor business to be building castles in
the air. Enjoy what you have now. Don't
spoil your comfort in the small house because
you expect a larger one. Don't fret about your
income when it is three or four dollars per day,
because you expect to have, after awhile, ton
dollars pi r day ; or ten thousand a year, be
cause you expect it to bo twenty thousand a
year. But about heavenly things, tho more
no think the better. Those castles are not in
the air. but on the hills, and wo have a deed of
them in our possession. 1 like to
see a man nil full of heaven
Ho talks heaven. He sings heaven. Hoprnys.
henven. Ho ureauis heaven. Some of us in
onr sleep have had tho good place opened to

heard tho click of the ho<>fs of the white
licis. son which victors rode, and tho clap
ping of the eyml als of eternal triumph. And
while In our sleep we were glad that all our
sorrow s were over, and burdens done with,
the throne of God grew whiter, whiter and
white , till wo opened our eyes and saw that it
was only the -tin of the earthly morning shitt
ing on our pillow. To have a right heaut von
n ed to bo tilled with this
would make your privations mid annoyances
more bearable.

i Is thy heart right? AVhatquestion can com
pare with this in importance?
> It 1b a business question. Do you not realize
that you will soon have to go out of that store,
that you will soon have toiesign that partner
ship, that soon among all the millions of dol
lars worth of goods tiiat are .'.old in New York
i you will not have the handling of a yard of
cloth, or a pound of sugar, or a penny-worth ot
anything; that soon if a con Ila gars t ion should
i start at Central park and sweep every
thing to tho battery, it would not dis
turb you; that soon if every cashier should
abscond and every insurance company should
fail, it would not afl'ei t you? What are the
questions that stop this side the grave com
pared with the questions that reach beyond it?
Are you making Jwes that arc to bo everlast
ing? Are you making purchases for eternity ?
Arc you jobbing for time when you might be
wholesaling for elernity? What question of
tho stoic is so broad at the base, and so altitu
dinous, and so overwhelming as the question :
“Is thy heart right?”
Or is it a domestic question? It is some
thing about fnther, <y mother, or companion,
or son, or daughter that you think is compar
able with this question’in importance? Do
you not realize that by universal and inexor
able law all these relations will bo broken up?
Your father will Tic gone, your mother will be
gone, your companion will be gone, your child
will be gone, you will he gone, and then this
supernal question will begin to harvest its
chief gains, or deplore its worst losses, roll up
into its mightiest magnitude, or sweep its vast
circles. AVhat difference now does it make to
Napoleon 111. whether he triumphed
or surrendered at Sedan? whether
ho lived at the Tuileries or at
Chiselhurst? whether he was emperor or
exile? They laid him out in his coflin in tho
dress of a field marshal. Did that give him
any better chance for tho next world than if
ha had been laid out in a plain shroud ? And
soon to us what will be the difference whether
in this world we rode or walked, were bowed
to or maltreated, were applauded or hissed at,
were welcomed in or kicked out, while laying
hold of every moment of the great future, and
burning in all the splendor or grief, and over
arching and undergoing all time and all eter
nity, is the plain, simple, practical, thrilling,
agonizing,overwhelming question,“ls thy heart
right?” Have you within you a repenting
heart, an expectant heart? If not, I must
write upon your soul what George Whitfield
wrote upon the windowpane with his diamond
ring, lie tarried in an elegant house over
night, but found that there was no God recog
nized in that house. Before he left his room
in the morning, with his ring he wrote upon
the windowpane, “One thing thou lackest.”
After the guest was gone, the housewife came
up and looked at the window, and saw the in
scription and called her husband and her chil
dren ; and God, through Hint ministry of the
window glass, brough them all to Jesus.
Though you may today be surrounded by com
forts and luxuries, and feel that you have
need of nothing, if you arc not the children
of God, with the signet ring of Christ’s
love, let me inscribe upon your souls,
“One thing thou lackest.” I pray you
that, whatever else you may miss, you may
not miss heaven. It is too bright a home to
lose. Your soul has been bought at too dear a
price. I preach to you of the blood that
cleanseth from all sin. Casting all your sins
behind you, I beg of yon to start this morning
for the Kingdom. “Yes,” you say, “I will
start, but not now.” AVilliani 111. made proc
lamation when there was a revolution in the
north of Scotland, that all who came and took
the oath of allegiance by tho 31st of December
should be pardoned. Maclan, a chieftain of
a prominent clan, resolved to return with the
rest of tho rebels, but bad some pride
in being tho very last one that should take the
oath. lie postponed starting for this purpose
until two days before the expiration of the
term. A snow storm impeded his way, and
before lie got up to take the oath and receive a
pardon from the throne the time was up and
past. While the others were set free, Maclan
was miserably put to death. Ho started too
late and arrived too late. In like manner,
some of you are in prospect of losing forever
the amnesty of the gospel. Many of you are
going to be forever too late. Remember tho
irreparable mistake of Maclan!
Waste of Tissue Without Repair.
Vigor begins to decline when dyspepsia in
vades the stomach. The disease, prolonged
through neglect, entails grievous loss of flesh
and serious waste of tho muscular tissue. To
invigorate thoroughly and speedily, a sound
stomachic is required. There is none com
parable to Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, since
it institutes, and if continued, perpetuates
repair of the tissues, which have declined in
bulk, vigor and elasticity iu consequence of
non-assimilation of tho food. No time should
be lost in beginning the reparative process,
nor should there be any delay in removing
those ailments of frequent occurrence, which
contribute to and foster an enfeebled condition
of tho stomach and nerves, viz: constipation
and liver complaint, disorders which the
Bitters will assuredly extinguish. It also
remedies and prevents malarial and kidney
troubles, and is a prime auxiliary in the re
covery of strength for convalescents from
wasting disease.

1 struck by a negro Saturday night last, on Ivy
’ street, died yesterday morning at tho St.
. George hotel in tho Janies' batik block.
» His remains was will be sent to Fort Valley
for interment.
The young man’s death was due to circum
stances needing an investigation, and soon
; after he breathed his last, which was about
1 six o’clock iu tho morning, Coroner Haynes
was notified. Later in tho day tho coroner
with Dr. Robert AVestmoreland, tho county
physician, and a jury of inquest called at the
hotel. There was but little evidence before
the jury apart from a statement which he had
. made previous to his death. In that state
ment the young man said:
I “I was walking down Ivy street, near the
hospital, and met three or four negroes,
; and one of them asked me if I was wet or dry.
I did not answer, and attempted to pass on.
The crowd then got in front of mo and insistejl
that I tell them if I was wet or dry. I replied
that 1 was both, but this did not satisfy them
and I had to tell them the truth, that I was
dry. I then moved rapidly away, fearing
trouble, when a rock struck me on the left side
of my head, just behind tho ear. I did not
know the negroes, and don't know as I ever
saw them before.”
It was about half past ten when Air. High
tower made the statement and in a short time
he was asleep. About three o’clock Sunday
morning he awoke and complained of being
very sick. During the day Sunday, however,
he improved and on Monday no change of a
serious character was observed. On Tuesday
ho became worse, complaining of intense
pains in his head and soon became delirious.
Drs. Nicholson, Stiles and Devine were called
in and discovered concussion of tho brain.
Every thing that could be done to secure re
life was done but without any good. The jury
decided that an autopsy was essential,and after
making one rendered the following verdict:
“We, a coroner’s jury this day impaneled to in
quire Into the cause of the death of Charnell High
tower, here lying dead, find from the evidence ad
duced and the opinion ofthe county physician, after
autopsy made in our presence, that the deceased
came to his death from effusion of blood on the
brain from a blow received last Saturday by a rock
thrown by some unknown party.”
Mr. Hightower had been connected with
Kuhn's photograph gallery for years, and was
a young man of fine character. lie was a
member of St. Paul's Methodist church and of
the Young Men’s Prohibition club. His sud
den and violent death created quite a feel
ing, and was discussed all over the city. Ev
erybody deplores the tragic event, and judg
ing by the talk yesterday it would go bard with
the guilty persons if they should be found.
The funeral will take place from prohibition
headquarters at 1 o’clock this afternoon.
IN MEMOKIAM.
Action of Hie Young Men’s Prohibition Club
on Hightower’s Death.
In pursuance of previous notice, the hall of
tho Young Men’s Prohibition club was filled
to overflowing last night to take appropriate
action on the death of Charnell Hightower, a
member of the club. •»
On motion, a committee of five were appoint
ed to wait upon the governor and request the
offering of a reward of s>3oo for the arrest of
the murderers.
By unanimous vote tho club resolved to
offer an additional reward of SSOO for tho ar
rest with proof to convict of the murderers of
Charnell Hightower.
The following preamble and resolutions
were unanimously adopted :
Whereas, during the recent prohibition campaign,
there was no member of the Young Men’s Prohibi
tion club more constant In attendance, more unsel
fish and devoted in his labors than Charnell High
tower; and
Whereas, he spent the election day in constant
eftort for its ends and under its direction, and
whereas a drunken mob did on that night compel
from him a declaration of his views, and thereupon
did murder him « i.liout the slightest provocation;
Now, then, therefore be it resolved by the Young
Men's Prohibition club that it is our privilege and
duty to a.-sume control of the order of his funeral,
and that we do hereby request the assent of his
lather to that arrangement.
Be it ftirther resolved, That in his death, we
have lost a member whose devoted labors in the
past gave token of tho help wo might reasonably
have hoped from him hereafter; that we deeply de
plore tho untimely cutting off of his bright and gen
erous young life, and tender to his aged parents and
' family circle the sympathy of our hearts that bleed
with them in grief.
Be it further resolved, That the circumstances of
his death speaks but one lesson, and that we regret
more than we can find words to express, that any of
our fellow citizens should have so differed with us
as to have contributed by their votes, how unwit
tingly soever It was done, to the raising in our
midst of this devil of strong drink, whose earliest
handiwork Is found in this foul deed; that while we
do not charge our fellow citizens who voted against
us with unintentional wrong, yet iu the shadow of
our brother's death we must remind them again
that when tho whisky business is brought back they
have raised a power for evil which thev cannot con
trol, a power which spares no age or condition of
life, and that no matter how one leaves whisky
alone whisky will not let him alone.
Copies of the resolutions were ordered fur
nished tho family of the deceased, tho city
press and the New York Voice.
Upon the presentation of the resolutions
there was considerable protest against the mild
ness of their tone, and several amendments
were suggested upon tho lino of distinctly
charging that the anti-prohibitionists were re
sponsible for the killing. During the debate
which ensued Mr. T. F. Corrigan and Mr.
Hooper Alexander, among others, spoke against
making any charges, and afterwards, upon
motion of Judge Ilillycr, it was ordered by the
meeting that their remarks be published.
MR. CORRIGAN’S RE-MARKS.
Mr. President: 1 favor the adoption ofthe pream
ble and resolutions as reported by the committee,
and while I, in common with the good citizens of
Atlanta, deplore deeply the death of cur brother,
and circumstances surrounding it, it is unavoidable
to charge his death upon rum—where it belongs.
When, Mr. President, tho gnat dellnenatorof
English character depicted the sad and solemn
death scene of poor little Jo, the I.<n lon waif, who
lay in the slums, homeless and frcndless—without
the care that a great tuition should rhow for the un
fortunate; as poor little Jo lisped in his dying agony
the beautiful sentences of the Lord's Prayer which
were repeated to him by the kind woman
who came to act tho good Samaritan,
and when the spirit of that poor little outcast broke
from its mortal habitation and took its flight before
he could finish his petition to his Heavenly Father,
L'ickens turns from the cold and silent form of that
child of misfortune, who died for the want of an
hospital in which he could find soothing care, and
rebukes the government of his country by exclaim
ing iu no meaningless words; '‘Dead, your majesty!
Dead, my lords and gentlemen! Dead, your right
reverends and your wrong reverends! Demi. Chris
tian men and women of England! And thus they
are lying about us every day."
The ret’xmslbllUy of this lamentable death must
be laid somewhere.

si-d.t, in the indi .ration which they feel, of the fact
that otir du<y here I'tiiight is rniier to express our
sorrow fur the dead than to End fault with the action
ol the living.
Nevertheless, Mr. President, your committee in
their deliberate d recognized thofact that it was
the demand of this meeting and that they clam
inured for its utterance, that your opinion should be
ViML-ed in thcrest lutions, that the responsibility for
tills crime shcuhl Lc laid at the door ofthe whisky
traiUo. Tl e o'nrc they yielded to the demand
whj h you make and incorporated in the third reso
lution a wild cry for help to those of their fellow
men whose ears nre open to the vies of human an
guish. and wh<se hearts maybe touched by the
throbbingufa mother’s g;ief.
But I do earnestly beg, Mr. Chairman and gentle
men, t! nt no harsn words be uttered, no charges
made against an y man or set of men. upon
it, my fellow countrymen, wo will sooner find help
t • deliver us fr< ui tins horror in mild protest to our
itiiow citizens than in any sudden outburst of pas
sion or giving way to anger. I do deny that the
men who voted against us are all bad merk They
are cur fellow -citizens and our friends. I
myself can lay my hands on those who cast their
IL.L}- against us who are my own
immediate and dear friends. I am
sure that they have do.ie in this thing
what they believe to bo best, and while I know they
have done wrong, I would not believe they did de
liberate wrontr. You know and I know the natural
weakness of humanity, and how that, when men
have a knowledge of injustice in their conduct
thrust harshly in their face, they stubbornly shut
their eyes and stop their ears.
It is meek and dignified that in the shadow of
this grief which comes nigh to every one of us, we
hold up to the gaze of men the causes of this hor
ror. But it is not needful that wc drive off our fel
low mon or compel them to abandon us by any lan
guage that is harsh, or iu any words that are not
dignified. There is no need, my countrymen, for ac
cusations from u-. The blood of this young man
cries from the earth tonight, and the vaulted abodes
of heaven give back its echoes to the ears of men.
The pulsing pain that racks his mother’s breast and
the gray hairs of his sorrowing sire will plead with
far more eloquence to men than any words that we
can speak or any grief that we can voice. You need
not give way to angry words tonight, for I say to
you that the tomb you will raise above his distant
grave and the record of the reason of his death, will
stand longer than your words as a constant reminder
among men that the liberty of the b irkeeper is in
compatible with the liberty of the citizen. 1 tell you
my friends that out of great sorrow great-reforms are
wrought. As the blood of patriots staining Con
cord bridge found voice at last in the words of the
declaration, so must the thousands of human lives
already like this one here, demonstrate at la-t that
men must guard their homes an 1 families from’ out
rage and from death. It is such tragedies as these
that will in time make others learn uh.it you 1 ave
learned, that we have reached the point where
civilization or whisky, one of the other must yield,
I tell you ti at the blood of this young man will
sound the first,notes to the paean of true libertv and
echo down the ages in sonorous tone, where harsh
words from ns would break in childish treble on
the crags of time.
I know how patient you have been. While men,
you thought your brethren were heaping contumely
upon your he a s 1 know it is true that m all
your campaign no sound of bitterness has broken
from your lips. 1 know it is hard to keep still. But
I do earnestly implore you to bear yet a little lon
ger. ft is the dignified endurance of the Briton
that works out the monuments of human freedom,
where the flippant ofervescenco of the frank only
changes one form of tyranny for another. All
things come to him who waits- I tell you that
the hearts of your fellow men are at
tuned like yours to catch the sad music
of human woe, their blood pulses like yours to the
heartbeats of fain, and their soulsjlike yours catch
the harsh throbbings of sorrow, to give back the
harmonious melody of freedom and of peace. Do
not, my countrymen, by passion-prompted utter
ance loosen the strings of the finest toned instru
ment which 6ud has made, but leave the humanity
ot men to do its appointed work, and be sure that
time will bring its certain results for good.
Funeral services will be held at prohibition
headquarters at one o’clock, sharp; conducted
by Rev. H. C. Morrison, assisted by Dr. Haw
thoro and others. Members of the club are ex
pected to meet promptly at 12:30.
After the services, the club will escort the
remains to the passenger depot, whence they
will bo carried to Fort Valley, accompanied by
Rev. J. W. Lee and a suitable escort of young
men.
There was a largely attended meeting of the
Young Men’s Prohibition club at the head
quarters last night.
The meeting was with closed doors, and all
that the officers would give out was the action
concerning the death of young Hightower.
It was learned, however, that a permanent
organization was effected. Tho officers are
those who have served through the campaign—
Mr. W. T. Turnbull, president, and I. F. Cor
rigan, secretary.
THE PROHI’S ADDRESS.
The prohibition party in Atlanta,recognizing
the fact that |the friends of good government in
other parts of the state and country have anxiously
watched the recent contest here between the bar
rooms [and the people, send hereby their cheerful
greetings to all prohibitionists, and; assure them
that there is no cause for discouragement in the re
sult of Saturday's election. If it were true that a
majority of the legal volers of the county were with
the whisky party, it would still remain true that the
resul c cr tho election was but a temporary reverse in
the slow but upward march of civilization.
Tho whisky party will confuse your ears with as
sertions as to the cause and meaning ot that result
and the purposes of our party in the future. But
the official organization, backed up by
every vote iu the prohibition party,
declares to you the following proposition:
First. In the election of 4885 wo cast for prohibi
tion a majority of the largest vote ever polled before
iu Fulton couuty. In the election of 1887 we polled
a larger one than in 1885.
Sect nl. We solemnly protest that the majority
obtained in this election by the whisky party was
the result of stupendous frauds, and that out of 11,-
000 votes registered for the election more than 1,500
were not entitled to the ballot, without counting
t he repeaters.
Third, t'nderatwo year's limit of prohibition,
hampered by unexpired licenses, which brought
down the time to scarcely more Ilian a year, we
wore opposed not merely by the ordinary law
breakers and criminals, but by systematic efforts to
defeat the constitutional will ofthe majority. Nev
ertheless, even then, imperfect as was the
scant opportunity accorded us, so benefi
cent wits the influentc of this just
and needful law that under its operations:
Crime iu the court records ceased its tegular con
stant growth and diminished more than < ne-half.
Pauperism and vagrancy almost entirely disap
penio 1 from our community.
Drunkenness became so rare that with n hundred
thousand visitors crowded iu one day d tring tho
Piedmont exposition into this city of seventy thou
sand people the public peace was not cnee disturbed
an> I scarcely a drunken num was seen.
Business prospered, debts were paid, and the pro
secution of small unlitigaled suits enormously di
minished.
The banking capital of the city lar more than
doubled.
A million dollars was added to her manufacturing
interests.
Gur property largely advanced in values.
Our popiibitioii was enormously increased.
Our sdiaols were greatly enlarged aud still re
mained insulllcient to suit the increased attendance.
I‘qFUc expenditures for public improvement sur
passed what it ever was before, aud yet the publie
ninds were not exhausted.
In every depaitment of business industry, pros
perity reigned, aud above all peace and happiness
come to women and little children.
Fourth. It was because of this constantly increas
ing evidence aud the beneficial effects of this salu
tarv andjwholesome law.thatthe whisky ring center
ed its strength in Atlanta. We do solemnly declare
that the whisky business in general is the enemy
of civilized society, aud that in the contest just
closed Atlanta was fighting the good tight of clvili
zati >n against all the boats of its enemies.
Filth. We assure our f lends everywhere that wc
w ili|ntake no compromise iu th s issue. We declare
that it is wrung Jto sell liquor, and therefore,
wr ng to saii' Uon or ap; rove the tale
of liquor. Whatever of >v.l there is
in the business is shared in by the government,
i winch autli'Tizes the business. Wbatev, rof wrong
there b iu the government that legalizes the tratlie
in liqu >r nn.st be borne by those who consent to the
law. As for us, "e w ill not touch the unholy thing.
I We are. to a man. agreed that there Is but one way
to regulate whisky, and that Is to probibit the sale
of in • The Prohibition commithsx.

THE CHICAGO MARKET.
Features of tire Speculative Movement in
Grain and Produce.
Special to The Constitution.
CHICAGO, December 3.—There was a more settled
feeling in grains at the opening of the ’change to
day, the first sales being at exactly yesterday's clos
ing prices or for May wheat; but it was strong,
nevertheless, and within 10 minutes got up to 87%.
Corn was also inclined to be bullish, the market
opening at 54%c for May and selling up to 51% then
weakening to 54%c, recovering the latter and going
up to 51%. January pork opened at 14.63% and ad
vanced 10c within as many minutes; at ttie end of
the first hour country contingent was ahead. After
the heavy realizing ot yesterday, light weight
local traders concluded that the market was
a sale and acted on that idea. Heavy traders, as n
general rule, were heading back and taking no ac
tive part. A flood of early traders from the country
sent wheat up to 88%@86% for May. There was
some disposition on the pari of both ti e local and
country crowd to do lets business after this time
and May wheat settled down into a steady market
around 86c, aud May corn did likewise at 55c. Pro
visions were the most quiet deal of all, but the
strength in corn firmed January pork up to 1!.77%C,
but it too became steady with the other markets and
was firm at 14.70. Indications were that compare
tively little trading would be done until after Mon
day's visible supply statement had been made pub
lic. After May reached 86% it weakened back tr
about 85%8 aud after became very steady.
Corn held its own and was a steady market all
day.
Reports ot greater damage than has been previ
ously reported are brought from the southwest, Mis
souri, Kansas and Nebraska, by parties recently
travelling through those sections. They say hogs
are also a short crop,
