Secretary Smith’s Speech.
Secretary Hoke Smith delivered
an aildre»s before the General As
sembly last Tuesday night. In re
sponse to an invitation. In spite of
the cold weather, the ball of tbe
House of Representatives \vas filled
tooVerflowiog.
Senator Osborn, acting chairman,
in a few words introduced Mr. Smith,
who received an ovation as he rose
to speak.
The Secretary,, in opening his
speech said, tbe question upon which
be was to speak was of vital inter
est to the democratic party. That
democrats differ honestly, he con
fessed, and for those who differed
from him he had profound respect.
He objected to calling the present
discussion in the democratic party a
fan: iIy quarrel, but that it should be
termed a “family consultation.” He
trusted that all democrats would
abide by the decision as expressed in
the platform of the next national
convention. He proposed to explain,
the speaker continued, why he was
opposed to the free coinage of silver
at 10 to 1. He then proceeded to dis
cuss the origin of coinage.
Corniug to the currency now in cir
culation in the United States, Mr,
Smith said that he wi»hed it dis
tinctly understood that the$490,000,-
000 of silver coined since 1878 is legal
tender for al debts, for any claim,
made so by act of congtess.
The free coinage of stiver at 16 to
1 would be unjust to gold, because
there wou'd be onlv 50 ceuts worth
of silver iu the stiver dollar, while
there would be 100 cents worth of
gold in the gold dollar
“lam not opposing silver. 1 want
to see every silver dollar circulate
that oau be kept worth a gold dol
lar And I want to see ever;, paper
dollar circulate tha' can be kept at
the value of the gold mdtm silvei
dollar.
The speaker theu showed the fal
lacy of the claim of the ' silver.te-
that they favored bime alistn, and
declared that gold won d he driven
from circulation. H* quoted author

The most noticeable thing about
the opening of Congress, to a demo
crat, was the absence of so many of
tbe men who have for years fought
in the front rank of the democratic
party. Among the absentees in the
Senate are Butler, of South Carolina,
who has been succeeded by ex-Gov-
eruor Tillman; Hunton, of Va..
whose successor is Martin, a good
democrat; McPhersoo, of New Jer
sey, succeeded by a republican, and
Ransom, of North Carolina, whose
successor is a populist. But it is
in the House that the hole in the
democratic ranks is the biggest. It
seems strange to hear a roll called
without the names of such yeteraus
In Congressional harness as Holman
and Bynum, of Indiana; Springer,
of Illinois; Kilgore, of Texas; Hatch
and Heard, of Missouri; Outhwaite,
ot Ohio, and scores of others wbo
bave won honors and soars battling
for democratic pi inciples.
Ex-Speaker Cripp will, of course,
be tbe leader of tbe democrats cf the
House during the present session,
the man who will call down Czar
Reed every time he attempts to
trample on the rights of the minor
ity. There has been no thought
among democrats that this would bo
otherwise, as was shown by the

those that affect tbe kidneys aud

betes in tiie chronic stages are rarely
cured, aud gravel, catarrh of the

Yet at the outset, when the trouble
merely amounts to inactivity of the
organs involved, the danger may be
nullified by thatthorough renal touic

Representative Otey, of Va., has a
scheme that wll in jute no one «Dd

through. In the Treasury timre is
au accumulation of money seques
tered during and directly after the
war for want of evidence to show its
proper owners, amounting to about
126,000.000, Inasmuch as this money
belongs in the South and that its
rightful owners will probably never
he found, Mr, Otey proposes to try
to get a bill through CoDgress, pro
viding that tbe interest on this
money shall be distributed among
needy ex-Confederate soldiers, aDd
that when they no longer need such
aid the principal shall revert to tbe
government to be used as any other
money provided by Congress. In
order -to avoid any charge of parti
sanship, even by implication, Mr.
Otey proposes having the bill in
troduced by a republican, if he can
get one to do it.
The calm which now prevails
among the republicans of the House
is as ominous in i:s wav as that which
precedes a storm at sea. To the in
experienced onlooker. Speaker Reed
is a Czar, indeed. But there' is
reason why everything seems to be
going Mr. Reed’s way among his
party colleagues in the House. He
hasn’t announced the committee as
signments, Until he does the calm
is likely to last; all of the republi
cans want to get as good committee
places as they can. But after the as
signments are announced the dis
appointed ones will be numerous
and Mr. Reed cannot let them down
easy by saying that be was bound
by promises made before his elec
tion to disappoint them, as his
friends have for weeks been making
a special point of claiming that he
would become speaker without hav
ing made a siogle promise and that
he was free to arrange the commit
tees just as he wanted them. There
fore every disappointed tuau will
know just who to hold responsible.
It is charged also that Mr. Reed took
a hand in naming the iniupr officers
of the House who have been elected,
which made him some more euemies

Di«gone8, the cynic philosopher,
who lived 413 years B. C., was asked
what beast’s bite was the most dan
gerous? He replied: "If you mean
the wild beasts, it. is thesianderer; if
of the tame beasts.it <s the flatterer.”
To slander one.it to lie about him or
her, to misrepresent, to Injure,to pull
down by words. To defloe a slan
derer from a calumniator we draw
the line thus: A slanderer spreads
abroad an evil report that has
reached his ears, he gives life to it by
repeating, not looking or seeking
the facts in the case, before repeating
what is ’heard. “I tell the tale as
told to me,” hurts as many times as
originating the slander.
To calumniate one, is to forge and
propagate a false character fpr one.
Hence, the calumniator, is a more
despicable character than the slan
derer, for he intends to injure, heed
less of the truth of the report be
spreads. So Socrates rated the slan
derer and oalumniator as equal in
degree and made of them wild ani
mals. For as man has a good
deal of the different animals In
his nature, it is uot difficult to tell
what animal he is most like in char
acter and disposition. The dog in
his fidelity, playfulness, sociability,
watchfulness an’d attachment, is not
like the hog in his selfishness, greed
iness and unsympathetic nature. As
cruel as a tiger, as cuuntng as a fox,
ns sneaking ms a minx and as doubled
tongue ns a snake, are expressions
often heard. The fine qualities of
animals are often alluded to us—
gentle as a lamb, aa soft-eyed as a
dove, as strong us a horse, as obsti
nate as a mule, as dull as an ass, as
patieut as aq, ox, as swift as a deer,
as bold as a lion, as cut ions as a
monkey, aud as wide awake as a
mursh hare, etc.
To flatter one is telling a pleasant
and agreeable lie to cue’s faee, and
yet thousands prefer such a lie to
the honest candid trutlisabout them
selves. Flattery is a compliment
unearned or undeserved, but to
compliment one upon what they
have done or certain known traits
they have is not flattery. But to
tell a mau he is temperate In drink
ing, or an honest man io his trans
actions, or a just mau in his Deal
ings, when he is really so in all re
spects, is not flattery,,but honest
compliment's which h«f deserves.
But to tell a man of an opposite
character he has those virtues, is*
lying flattery to his face.
Flattery has for its object many
purposes, such as to please, to get
something, to ask a favor. It can
he used to encourage one, to plant
confidence in mind or heart, to urge
on to ffort or trial. Like the doc
tor to a sick man or woman, telling
them they will get well, oe bright,
don’t give way to despondency.
Such encourage aud do good. But
adulation is contemptible; it par
takes of an objective point the flat
terer has in view. Thus we have
sycophancy, blandishment, cajolry,
fawning, wheedling, coaxing, aud
the flatterer is then a hanger on,
parasite, courtier and * wants some
thing material for his immaterial
words. He is after aid ot some kind.
Solomon who no doubt had a
very large experieuce with all sorts
of people sav-: “A man that flatter-
eth his neighbor, spreadeth a net
for his feet.” Or when he said:
•‘Meddle not with him that ftatter-
eth with his lips.” And as he had
considerable experience with women,
he speaks knowiugly when be says:
“Deliver thee from the strange wo
man, eveu from the stranger whicn
flattereth with her words.” No
doubt speaking with truth he says:
He spoke from the record and hi*
own weakness. «
Encouragement is not flattery,
good cheering words to tho-e wh#
are non aggressive iu their nature*
is not flattery, many such need it.
For parents to give their children a
good opinion of themselves Is aH
important, very luipoitant for their
mental devplopement. Seneoa, a
Roman philosopher and statesman,
wisely said* “A man cannot know
himself without a trial; no one ever
learnt what be could do without
putting himself to tbe test. You can
judge of a pilot in a storm, of a sol
dier iu battle.”
Those who have tbe organs ot
egotism, self-reliance, and self-oon-
fidenoe large do not need encourag
ing words. It is the modest, noa-
assertive, timid, bashful, fearful na
tures, who need flattei log words t#
urge them forward and onward.
“Ttgnn old maxim tn the schools,
That flattery is the food of foolsi
Yet now and then your men of wit
Will condescend to take a bit.’*
When flatterers meet, the Devil
goes to dinner.” R. M. O.
A Significant Departure,
With the departure of another
year when a r view is made of tbe
condition of affairs it is only right
that some thought he given to the
physical boiv which enables every
one to battle with life’s problem and

loss on the trial balance sheet.
