There U one thing that we intend to do m long M we wield a pen on The Banner, and that is to condemn the preeent way of insinuating into onr schools, books that were written in the North, and contain matter calculated to teach the children that their fathers were traitors and rebels. We do not write in a revolutionary spirit. , We cherish the glory of American institutions. But we do maintain that the duty of the South is clear and plain in this matter. Our fathers fought for •acred principles. These principles we ahali perpetuate. We propose to keep hammering away until every book of such nature as to teach our children erroneously is taken from our schools. We hare plenty of good text books written by Southern authors. We want to see them used in our schools. We close our article with these propositions : Such books are iniquitous in their teaching. And they must oo ! would seek and strive earnestly to make good citizens out of bad onoo, the question would bo soUloA.” This opens op a broad field for thought upon these questions. It adds argument in favor of schools of reform instead of punishment. While under our system of gov- eminent we most mete cat punish* meet to the guilty, in order to deter them from committing the crime again, is it not a reasonable duty that we owe to onr fellcw»man to use our power in every effort to keep him from being guilty ? If by the power of religion we can turn the bad citizens into good oner, should we not make the effort ? The Alliance means business, as evidenced by the following: Al though the farmers of Nebraska have taken a very lively interest in tho-nlliance the reported condition of their crops proves that they have not squandered their time upon poli tics at the expense of their farms. Therefore they are looking forward to the harvest with happy anticipa tions. This is quite true of Georgia Alii* anceracD also. They are planting their crops, and although somewhat behind with their work on account of the bad weather, still they intend making the largest crops known to the Stale in many3’e»rs, Providence permitting. The Alliance will catt politics aside when it is a question of plowing or not. The summer girl is beaming with anticipation The pope are coming. The bootblack begioa to look sol emn.

Have prescribed it a great many times and its effect is wonderful, and would say in conclusion that I have yet to find a case of Catarrh that it wonld not cure, if they would take it according to di rections.

They all indicate that a rupture must come sooner or later between capitalists and monopolies and trusts, and the wage earner. The laborer is evidently discon tented ; he looks with distrust upon his fellow, men ; he stares at the handsome houses and finely equip ped carriages of his employer ; the accounts of brilliant feasts.and ban quets of the rich fall upon his ear with a strange sound: when he looks around bis home and sees nothing but poverty and want. The thrones of Europe tremble up? on the approach of May 1st, and cities are guarded with the military against the demonstrations of labor. T he laborers strike, and at the end of the strike find themselves worse off than ever before. Then they are enraged, and in this desperate con dition do deeds of violence. These agitations have been de scribed in characteristic terms by a distinguished Georgian, as “the storm-cloud of the nineteenth cen« tury.” Will the cloud vanish before the sunlight of a brighter and belter day, or will its thunders roll and its light nings flash in the near future ? An exchange says : ‘‘Called Back” is now applicable to ex-Senalor Blair, who the Chinese Emperor de clines to receive as United Slates Minister. Some other diplomatic position is to be found for Mr. Blair who has been ordered to report to the department of state. It seems to us that “Sent Back” would be a belter term to express the situation. The Chinese evident ly don’t wish to undergo the tortures of a speech. The Athens Banner insists that in spite of the official ukase there will he the usual amount of dancing during the University commence, ment week. Chancellor Boggs will probably keep his weather eye on the fiddler.—Enquirer-Sun. Toe dancing question has been settled satisfactorily to Chancellor Boggs, and he will not keep hie eye on the fiddler. THB SUPPRESSION OF CRIME. The living, vital question of the hour is concerning the suppression of erime—what are we to do ? Each passing day records the deeds ot violence and immorality of such enormity as to challenge the attena tion of the people and bid them ex ercise their minds to invent a method of suppression. ■We live in a land of highest civil* laation, where religions flourish,and churches raise their lofty spires to the skies. We have laws upon our nutate books against'erimes of all kinds. The guilty are tried in onr courts and justice is kept busy from Says an exchange : Mayor Wash burne, of Chicago, has begun busi ness by cleaning oat the gambling shops in that town. Thus far, he hasn’t descended on the wheat pit, where more money is made and lost in a day by betting on the future price of wheat than in all the faro banks in town. That is what called legalized gambling. An exchange puts the question very aptly thus : If all the people in the city or community who agree in their opinions that all the laws should be enforced would get to gether and vote for some man of their own way of thinking, in nine cases in ten he\would be elected. Crime is organized. Law and order are not ‘Baron Hirsch continues to un» loosen the strings of his plethoric purse, for the benefit of his exiled countrymen. It would look ap they would need all his millions, and more, too, to relieve them of their distresses. Sats Editor Watterson, of the Conrier-Journa), “There is more happiness in the coining of one kind thought than in the possession of nil the million: l e’s gold.” This a text thatall can agree upon. The fight in favor of higher edn* cation continues, and the outlook is bright. There is no use in trying to build up common schools without the aid of a good University. The two go hand iu hand. The Northampton Gazette ob serves that Governors are not made in the spring. True, but candidates are sometimes unmade at this sea-*- son. lhat'seems to be the case this year. One of the oldest Chinese on earth has just died of old age in Seattle; His name was Took Back Jaw, and in it will be found the key to his longevity.

Tk? key-note was struck on this question by Dr. Leftwicb, in a ser mon delivered at the First Methodist Church Tuesday night. Among other thiDgs he said, were these re* marks in substance : ‘‘If our people would turn their attention more to the redemption of mankind ; if they would work steadily to turn a sinner from the eiror of his ways ; if they DO NOT STAY TOO LONG. ELEANOR KIRK WRITES OF VISITS TO INVALIDS. down the doctor or hi-, treatment ought to he pot out 1 ilo bometimea wish I could talk to I he sick on this subject' of pbptdios.* "What would you sayT* I inquired. “I wtould bag t heai first not to take amateur doses while under the car* of a professional. It is a risk to the patient and an act of grass injustice to the doc tor. Oh, I have been sorely tempted to do it myself in momenta of great pain or despondency, bat I never have yet. I would also say to the sick that they should not feel as if their doctors were employed for life. If they do not benefit' they should give place to others, bat the patient should always be off with the old treatment before she is on with the new. But these are things, after all, that one can manage with some philoso phy,” my correspondent con tinned. “One can refuse to take new remedies, and can consign quinine pills to a hole in the back yard, but there is no balm in Gilea 1 for the victim of the visitor who will net go after she has started.” The above is a verbatim- report of my interview with one of the loveliest and most intelligent “Shat Ins” I have ever met, and I am positive expresses the feelings of chronic invalids the world over. So let ns all remember in leaving these friends to “stand not on the order of our going, but go at once.” Eleanor Kibe. “Get Up mad Get” When Too Have Said All Yon I)r*Ire to Is the Leiaon She Wonld Impress Upon the Hinds of AU Friends of the Slclc. [Copyright, 1801. by American Press Associa tion.] My call on the lovely “Shut In” was about ended, and as I took the little white hand in mine to say goodby I noticed a look of anxiety or apprehen sion upon her face that had certainly not been there during my short inter view. But the pleasant anile came again as I left the room, and after a lit tle speculation as to the cause I endeav ored to dismiss the subject It was doubtless some physical suffering or sad thought, bravely held in check during my visit, I told myself, but all the same I was annoyed and disappointed. I had staid too long, or had lacked the tact and inspiration to amuse her. Than this nothing could be more humiliating or much more distressing. / I had seen so many sick folks liter ally killed with kindness, and had en dured such torture myself through the indescribable cruelties of the tenderest love, that to have erred in such a matter seemed quite unpardonable. The next morning my fears were somewhat quieted by a note from the invalid ask ing me to call upon her that day if pos sible, as she bad a matter to talk over with me which she thought would not only be of interest to my readers but of great value to the sick. A radiant smile greeted me as I entered her pretty room, and there w.ts certainly a glint of mis chief iu it as she commenced to speak. “To begin with,” she said, “I have a confession to make. Yesterday when you rose to go I was so afraid that you wouldn’t go that I was almost ready to shriek. Please don’t misunderstand me,” she pleaded. “Everybody is so good to me. My triends are so sweet, so con siderate, so unselfish, but when they get up to go they don’t go. They stand and talk, and perhaps sit down on the side of the bed, and then go fussing about the bureau, or squeak the door or play with the knob until I am worn threadbare. 1 was so afraid yesterday that you were going to be like the rest, and if you were my last hope was gone, for of course I could not ask yon to publicly protest against a habit which yon were guilty of yourself. And do yon know,” she added with a laugh, “I was so afraid yon wonld come back after yon had gone that my teeth chattered till T heard the front door close. You see, so many of them do come back.” “You speak as if this were the hardest thing that invalids had to bear,” I re marked. “I really think it is,” she replied. “At least it is the very hardest for me; and if yon will allow nv to read you a few passages from the letters of my ‘Shut In’ friends, yon will see that it is with them,** “Oh, if the lovely creatures wonld only go when they say they are going,” one correspondent wrote. “I dread to have a friend Tome in,’ •aid another, “because I know that ten to one all the pleasure of the visit will be spoiled by the leave taking. What is the matter with folks that they can’t get np and go?' I smiled to think how many times 1 had asked myself that question, and wondered why I should have considered it a personal idiosyncrasy instead of a general cause of suffering to the sick. Oh, the dear souls that slam down on the side of the bed after they have straightened their hats and pnt on their gloves and said goodby forty times over, and the generous, helpfni spirits who bring one something nice to eat, and then stand, door knob in hand, “just going” for half an hour, to see if the flavoring is right Who that has been ill for any length of time has failed of such sympathy? And what invalid with a Leapt has not mercilessly castigated herself for being disturbed by such things, knowing as they all do .that these friends are animated by a sincere desire to be of service? “I think the next hardest thing for a chronic invalid to bear,” said my friend, “is the advocacy of new remedies. Some of my callers spend most of their time telling me of the wonderful cores effected by this and that medicine. I am con ducted through ail sorts of terrible phys ical and mental tortures until the new medicine commences its miraculous work; then the story brightens until the climax of a perfect cure is reached.

Dyspepsia Intense Few people have suffered more severely from dyspepsia than Mr. E. A. McMahon, a well known grocer of Stannton, Va. He says: “ Before 18781 was in excellent health, weigh ing over 200 pounds. In that year an ailment developed into acute dyspepsia, and soon I was reduced to 162 pounds, suffering burning 'sensations in the stomach, palpitation of the heart, nausea, and Indigestion. I could not sleep, lost all heart in my work, had fits of melancholia, and for days at a time I would have welcomed death. I became morose, sullen and irritable, and for eight years life wgg a burden. 1 tried many physicians and many remedies. One day a workman employed by me suggested that I take |* mm a Hood’s 3 Suffenif — sia. I did so, and before taking the whole of a bottle I began to feel like a new man. The terrible pains to which I had been subjected, ceased, the palpitation of the heart subsided, my stomach became easier, nausea disap peared, and my entire system began to tone up. With returning strength came activity of mind and body. Before the fifth bottle was taken I had regained my former weight and natural condition. I am today well and I ascribe it to taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla.” N. B. If you decide to take Hood’s Sarsa parilla do not be Induced to buy any other.
