Editors Union-Recorder: Senators Sherman and Allison are at logger heads over the crazy quilt hodge-podge known as the McKinley tariff bill, and Senator Allison is re ported to be preparing a speech to be delivered against the bill on the floor of the Senate, should he fail, as now seems probable, to carry his point in the Finance Committee. In the mean time tbe party leaders seem to_ have gotten the whip hand of the kickers, certainly so far as the republicans of the committee are concerned, and the majority of the committee are work ing like beavers to .get through with the bill, and up to date they have made no changes of importance. Some republicans gay the bill will be report ed in a week, but it is more probable that it will take four weeks to get through allowing that harmony con tinues in the committee, which is by no means certain. Speaker Reed is getting a good deal of cueap notoriety because he Issued an order prohibiting the sale of drinks in the House restaurant. The only effect of the order has been to stop the sale of drinks over the bar, and to put the proprietor to the trouble of serving liquor to his guest9 seated in stead of standing, in the good old fash ioned way. Sitting at table to "take your whiskev is a Boston idea. The fiery G. A. It. orator, whose feelings buffered excruciatingly be cause the people at Richmond chose to enjoy a harmless bit of sentiment by exhibiting the llag of the Confed eracy, was in his glory in this vicinity on Decoration day. He wasquite num erous but also perfectly harmless. No sensible person does anything but laugh at him. When Senator Stewart slated on the floor of the Senate that Major Powell, director of the Geological Sur vey, was at the head of “a lying-in honpital for lame ducks,” he struck the nail square on the head. The Geological Survey occupies large and luxuriously fitted up quarters here, and no man has ever been able to put his hand upon anything tangible per formed by that bureau, and it has long been a standing joke that the ogv ly work performed by Major Powaif and his numerous assistants was'm the nature of lobbying to get fancy appropriations through Congress for themselves. These fellows call them- selves scientist*, and perhaps they are. Theyhave certainly learned the science of living in style at the expense of the Government. An investigation would amount to nothing unless the [mil which Mujor Powell has.so long and [COMMUNICATED.] “I Wa» Thinking.” Editor Union-Recorder: What an influenceifor good old men Mr. Watterson poured out the vials of his wrath on the McKinley bill the dav after its passage by the house. Following are the opening and sen tences of his philippic: “Yesterday .no MpKinlev bill of abominations, "a,approval in the home o( repre- sentatives.” successfully had uponCougressshould fail to work. , _. , Assistant, Post-master General (dark- son, who has of late been posing as tbe special champion of tbe anti-civil service legion, has disgusted many of them by proving himself to be as great a humbug as the civil service law. Mr. Clarkson recently discovered that just as bis ofilcial life was nearing its close, the postal service on the Pacif ic coast was needing an official inspec tion by him, and yesterday, having previously made arrangements with an obliging railroad official for the use of a private car, Mr. Clarkson started on his farewell junket. At Des Moines his family will join this model official who is doing his level best to reduce the Treasury surplus. As soon as Mr. Clarkson gets tired of from 50 to 70 years of age could have if they would take more interest in young men, and give them plain, practical and sensible talks about life, its duties, responsibilities and the subjective and objective intentions of life as intended by our Creator. 1 was thiuking—What talks on gam bling, drinking, licentiousness, eto., could and would do, if properly pre sented to young men. Talks drawn from observation, experience and re sults; not religious talks, but com mon sense talks. Tbe quickest way to reach a man’s mind is to shock it, for that puts one to thinking—“I am a fool or he Is a fool,” says the hearer. All great truths at first shock the mind, because they run counter to ig norance, superstition, anil received ideas. Railroads were first opposed in England, because the smoke would kill the birds, injure the fields, de stroy the cattle, etc. The first uargo of ice sent to New Orleans by Judah Tonro was driven away by a mob. The Royal College of Bavarian doc tors declared that carriages driven by steam would give the people “delir- um furiosum,” and should be prohib ited. The world lias always been rul ed by limited intelligence, beoause tbe masses did not or could not think, and declared all knowledge above their knowledge—“nonsense.” A bold and profound thinker was always in a great minority. I was thinking—“The way to reach tbe masses was to knock them down with facts they could not deny, anil not cater to ignorance, prejudice or superstition. Ministers preached a- gainst the use of forks in the 15th cen tury because as they said, “God made lingers to eat. with,” There was a great war of words, and a sin it was proclaimed to use a fork. I was thlnkiug—If ministers would keep abreast with the fresh thoughts of to day, the learning, the discover ies, the researches and facta as now known, they would talk less about “faith, repentance and belief,” anduil- dress themselves to talking works, to living a true and consistent life. Bruno was burnt because he was an original thinker. John Calvin endors ed the burning of Rev. Dr. Michael Servetus, because he was anti-trlnita- rian. Tianseendent genius always fails of popular recognition; for aa Douglas Jerrold said: “The average stupidity of mankind could not appre ciate true jjnnlua.” Y ’waV Blinking—“The man who wishes to make an Impression hi the day in which lie lives, must have the courage of his convictions, regardless of public opinion. He must dure to think and to write. He must tell the people as Stephen A. Douglas told the mob in 1854 in Chicago, when be fried I was thiuking—“If I had my life to live over again, with my own present experience, how wonder fully different it would be. Different in every respeot, save I hope in char acter aud self-respect. I now simply await that new birth whioh will ush er me into a new life tu some new world. Death will call upon me in a few years at best. He is not an ene my but a friend. R M. O. There’* Where We Differ. In the close of inv friend R. M. O.’s communication, published elsewhere, he says: “Death will call upon me In a few years, at best. He is not an enemy but a friend." Now, my friend, }f you feel that way, you might go out and hang yourself or pot an end to your mortal existence by any other contrivance, and get death, your “friend.” I would prefer Like, as my friend. I would live as long as God wills, and, even dying, would hang one hand back on tne land I lived in so long, and loved so well. It is not with you or me as to our “days under t he sun.” It is as God says, and there I am content to rest the case. I want to live here, friend Orme, just as long as I can do one iota of good to any human heart that beats. When I can’t help any one or myself then it is time enough to say, Death is not “my enemy but my friend." J. II. Nisbet. South Carolina's Peril. Wh&t It Coit* Must be carefully considered by the great majority of people In buying even necessities of life. Hood's Sar- saparilla commends itself with spec ial force to the great middle classes, because it combines positive economy with great medicinal power. It is the only medicine of which can truly be said “lOO Doses One Dollar,” and a bottle taken according to directions will averuge to last a month. Juit the Man. We see from our exchanges that Mr. Roland B. Hall, of Macon. Is a candi date for the Secretaryship of the State Agricultural Society of Georgia, to succeed Mr. Robert A. Nisbet, who has resigned. The Gazette heartily endorses the candidacy of Mr. Hall From Tne Atlanta Constitution. Our South Carolina exchange* bristle with political war, and over in the palmetto state the clans are gath ering for a tight which threatens dis astrous consequences to the state. Here we find Farmer Tillman mar shaling Ids forces; there the right flank of the democratic party brings the buttering rams to bear against his fort while in another place the in dependents, who, its SeiiHtor Butler once reinaiked, “wear til* livery of heaven to serve the devil in," are scheming for the campaign; while the dyed in-the-.wood republicans are rallying theiT old-time scattered mis sions for a last attack upon the demo cratic citadbl. There are stirring times in South Carolina now, and stirring times to come: the thunder storm now rolls from far off, but It i%ltkely to break in all its fury when the time is ripe, and then—something will drop. The News and Courier and other news papers that see the danger ahead are trying to keep the party together and tralniug their guns on the ene my, but it seems like au every uiau- for-hituself affair, aud the party is going pret ty much where it pleas- er. There Is one feature of the demo cratic convention recently held in Alabama that ought to attract atten tion, and that is the determination ot the white people to present a solid froq^to republican aggression, and t6 the policy of that party to bring about negro domination in this sec tion by fair means or foul Tire gentlemen who were candi dates before the convention were men of promim-tn-e and influence, ami tile canvass mode by jtlioir friends as well as iheir opponents, had been unusually aggressive and bitter. Everything seemed to be ripe for a serious, division in the ranks of the democrats. It wus thought that the alltancemeu. led by Commissioner Kolb, would so far resent tbe uu- necessarily bitter attacks made uu him us to tie anxious for au indepen dent movement—a movement wuich would have given the death blow to honest and responsible government iu Alabama. llqt tiie prediction* did not coiue to pass. The reasonable fears of con servative men were groundless.

The next machine adds a layer of strong white cotton thread; a coating of rubber cement is next applied and a half-ounce layer of the very bes line worsted completes the ball wit tbe exception of the cover.

In reply to a letter from a gentleman n Ala bama asking his views of the bill, which has just been reported adverse ly by the House Committee oil Ways and Means to provide for the estab lishment of subtreasuries for the stor age of agricultural products, Mr. Carl isle says: “The farmers have been taxed co long for tbe benefit of other classes and have seen so much legis lation for the aggrandisement of cor- porations and syndicates that their patience is exhausted, and finding it Impossible, for the time being at least to abolish the system which lias op pressed and despoiled the greatest in dustrial interest of the country, they are now demanding that the very pol icy, which they have heretofore de- nounced as unjust and ruinous shall be applied to them, or rather a part of them, for no scheme has yet been suggested that will operate a ike up on all foreigners. But no evil can be corrected, no wrong can be righted by increasing the magnitude and ex tending the scope of its operation. There is but oue effectual remedy for the evil which undoubtedly exists, and that ia to reverse the policy which ^Postmaster General Wanamaker is earning the illwill of all the small Washington pension agents, because he is allowing one large firm, which publishes a paper, to violate the pos tal laws in sending out copies of that paper. Like Mr. Wanamaker, tbe head of this favored concern was a large contributor to the Republican campaign fund, which excuseth many things. The ingredients that are used in making Shephard’s B. B.

Old men are the buoys, which mark the true and proper channel, und the pilot who iguores the signal will sink or wreck his ship. I was thinking—That all men have their influence for good or evil. For an example, an illustration, a living, walking, talking monument. A drunk ard will give the best advice, and he means every word he says. He talks as a wreck but his life is a lesson nev ertheless. The sensualist preaches virtue, and lie means it; for his life has degraded the noble aspirations of a soul, or sunk him below the level of a brute, which but carries out the law of nature. I was thinking—What I owe to the good oninion of others. It gave me character, self respect and self-confi dence. The good opinions of others develops one’s self-respect. Honest S raise should never be denied; but attery, adulation and too much com pliment never uttered! One should : steer with a steady hand, when thoj winds of applause blow fresh and strong. I was thinking—Of one who now sleeps in the cemetery at Milledgeville, who took a great interest in me when n young man. Gave uie good advice, and especially warned me against his own errors in life. “Don’t do as 1 have done, bat avoid my errors.” “Young man get you a wife. I want to see you married.” He was a bach elor. When asked why he never mar ried replied: “I was a fool not to do it; had I my life to live over, I would marry.” I had sense enough to fol low his advice, though I did not need any particular urging in that line of thought. I was thinking—Young man, you will be an old man, if death does not call soon for the debt you owe him. If vou live to touch the 00 mile post in'the journey of life, you will then know that “old folks are not fools, and that their advice, their sugges tions are born of experience and ob servation. That life to them has been a serious reality, and they speak from a knowledge you can never have, save but by experience. You can be warn ed, you may be taught.
