Acts speak louder than words,
and Notwithstanding the pacific Mt
terances of = portion or the South
ern and Northern Democrats, there
is no doubt of the prevailing spirit
of Ostracism in most of the South.
The politicians OF the Demo-
cratic party have played
good hands enough. though, to get
about.eighty of the late rebels in
Congress. That is the game they
are after.
A late number OF the Chicago
Inter- Ocean gives a synopsis OF 3
conversation had with q prominent
southern gentleman, who annonnc-
es that he has lived in the south tor
twenty-five years, and yet he is
denounced there as carpet Dagger.
He is so denounced simply because
he 10 Republican. We're he sDem-
Ocrat he says he would be hSiled as
one of the oldest citizens. While
his long residence there should en-
title him TO some consideration, he
lives the life of Que euViroued by
the dangers OF border life. He has
at all times to 90 prepared to de-
fend himself from personal mOlests-
ZION, and the accommodations of years
are liable at any moment to be rem
dered valueless. Two classes of
northerners are safe, those who
have no opinions and those who
side with the rebels. In a large
portion of the South g man cannot
be an Outspoken Republican with
safety. There is no liberty of con-
science or speech. Those southern
ers who see the folly of this course
dare not express themselves, or

Some prominent Georgian in u
recent speech, referred TO the splen-
did career OF the city of Atlanta
since the war. j. e. Swayze, editor
Of the Topeka Blade, who is not q
Republican, and who lived in At
lanta several years after the close of
the war, and knows whereof he
speaks, picks up the remark and
makes the following comments:
But who took hold of Atlanta at
the war, when it was a waste of ru-
ms? Ii. l. Kimball, Connecticut
yankee. lie took his millions
there, built the State House, built
the Kimball Hotel, built the Fair
Grounds, was President of the At
lanta Improvement Association,
and gave Atlanta the impetus she
obtained. And when Kimball had
fastened all his money in immova.
BILE property, the cry of Yankee was
raised against him by Bob Toombl
and his crowd, and Kinball wal
robbed right and left and was fore
ed to leave the State to save his life
and return to his home without 9
dollar. That is the way the Soutt
encourages emigration.

bers of immortal lseings, are ac-
eO1ntable for all 1 he criminal re-
suits of such legislation. Legisla-
tors and town councils ought to
know that they have no right to
give men license to sin. The man
who Will say that it is not sinful TO
retail ardent spirits 10 the destruc-
ton of individuals and families, as
is done under license, must have
a great amount of hardihood. 1t is
not easy to see how any other class
of sinners can do so much evil as
do ,be retailers of ardent spirits.
How many parents do they cause to
weep over ruined sons! How many
wives to weep over ruined hus-
bands. How vast the number re-
duced 10 poverty and wretcbedness !.

crime do they pour over the land !!

IT'S make drunkards to vast ex-
tent, and "the drunkard shall not
inherit tie Kingdom of Cod" They
send millions to endless perdition.
In the day of judgment what q
meeting they will have with those
whom, by their terrible business,
they caused to go to hell!
All those who vote knowingly
for those who will license men to
do such evil, are partakers of their
sins. It is indirectly voting for
factories to make drunkards, and to
make drunkards is to ruin souls
and how great is the sin of being
instrumental in sending immortal
beings to endless woe! All who
desire to promote temperance and
the eternal interests of men should
labor necessarily to suppress the
business of retailing ardent spirits
as pervading and ruinous evil.

The origin OF the American races
is pretty plainly limited at by some
facts collected by c. w. Brooks, for
seventeen years Japanese Consul at
san Francisco. Mr.. Brooks finds
thrt since 1852 forty lone wrecks of
Japanese vessels have been borne
upon the coasts OF the Sandwich Is
lands and OF America, twenty eight
OF them since 1850, and all but
twelve of them bearing human
lives. These wrecks were borne
eastward by the Japan current, or
rs the orientals call it, ''the black
stream," kuro siwo. japanese nav
igation laws since 1880 have favored
this course of affairs by prohibiting
the ship-buildiDgs from making
sea.going vessels. When nsviga-
Tors got blown Off into the stream
;he heavy sea knocked out the
rudders aud masts and left them to
the mercy OF the ocean currents.
This accounts for the Mongoliau
words mingled with the Language
of the present Pacific coast Indians,
and possibly for the origin of the
aboriginal Toltscs aud Aztecs.

Il Timothy, . :22)
CHAPTER XVII.


Town counciImen who license
men to retail ardent spirits, are par
takers of all the sins that result
from such license. In issuing such
license councilmen believe that they
are restricting to some extent the
sale of Intoxicating liquors, and
therefore are doing some good.
This is plausible. but it is not true
1t restricts tie number of retailers,
but not the quantity sold. and there.
fore makes the business more prof
liable to the few than it would be
to the many. 1t must be admitted
that the common practice of retail
ing ardent spirits is sinful bust
mes. ''The tree is known by his
fruit" Consequently, to license
men to retail ardent spirits, accord
ing to the common practice, is to
license men to sin. This no town
council has q moral right to do.
Hence, all who give such license
will have to answer for it at the
judgment seat of Christ.
Some of the results of retailing
ardent spirits will now be noticed.
Ist. One of its results is murder.
MANY have been the cases In which
men have become intoxicated at IL
censed houses of intemperance, and
have committed murder. Ia some
instances husbands have gone home
from such places aud murdered
their wives and children. And
many are the cases in which they
have beaten and abused their wives
and children, and have driven them
out in the dark hours of the night,
and thus have murdered them by q
lingering process. Vast have been
the number of wives and mothers
that have gone TO un;imely graves
by the intemperance of husbands
and fathers.
2nd. The retailing of ardent spir-
its is the means of reducing a vast
number of families to poverty, ig-
norance and degradation. By il
thousands are clothed in rags and
suffer hunger. 1t is fountain OF
sorrow flowing down upon thous-
ands of mothers and children. The
men who give license to such SQUIRE
es of ruin are criminals to vast
extent. And legislators who enact
laws to give men license to do whai
involves the ruin of immense nam.
