4 Great Sim

Drunkenness is sometimes spoken of as
the greatest sin Of all. 1t is sin against
morality, and therefore morality comes
down hard upon it. 1t suits our natural
feelings to speak against sins which we
arc not guilty Of, and which perhaps VIC
are not tempted to commit. But the Word
of God shows that unbclic(, distrust Of
God, living without God, acting in daily
life as if there were no God,-thc Bible
shows that this is the deepest and greatest
sin. 1t is the root-sin. All others grow
out OF It. Let this be torn up; let supreme
love to God be planted in its place; and
other sins will disappear. Drunkenness
is huge excrcsence,-an outward symp.
tom Of the deadly disease that preys upon
the inner life. The drunkard is fool !;
and ifyou trace his folly to its source, you
will find it in this, that his heart says
No God! He lives as if there were no
Gci above him, and no judgment before
him. So ii is with every man who allows
III his life anything that is displeasing to
God. Yet, Of all sins,
drunkenness is the most miserable"
it is accompanied by so much wretch
edncss and crime. Thousands Of promis.
ing young men and women have been
dragged by it into shame and ruin, But
what is drunkenness: 1t is thing of de-
grccs. 1t is very difficult to tell precisely
where intoxication begins. A man is
drunken when drink excitcs his mind, or
inflamcs his passions, or sets his tongue
agoing, or at all impairs his entire SELF
control. have spoken to men-ycs, and
women too who have deemed them.
selves sober, but who were evidently I'm.
der the influence of drink. Men may say
that they arc only "eleyated," when in
very truth they are in some degree drunk
en- They cannot see it themselves; but
their eyes, their tongue, their breath, pro-
claim it to others. Those who profess
godlincss ought to be very careful in this
matter. A very little may throw you off
your balance; and it is easier to stumble
down than to step up again. Frequent
use begets desire for more and then you
are liable to be brought under the power
of it. All sins, but notably this sin arc
more easily kept out than driven out
Christian at work.

PRESIDENTIAL.

The time when Republican American
citizens will I've called upon to place IN
nomination candidate for President Of
the United States, is rapidly approaching.
During no period Of the century has so
many things conspired to distract the
minds and unscttlc the opinions Of men as
at the present arc conspirinS. The unset
tied condition Of society and government
at the south,-thc great and general finan.
cial depression, and consequent disrup.
ton IF business the wholesale corruption
which is developing daily and the want
Of confidence which it inspires; the lack
Of unity among the leading members Of
the different parties, and the purpose
which they manifest to advance their own
interests at whatever sacrifice Of the pub
lie wcal,-all these, tend only to antago-
nize the masses,-to induce the belief that
virtue has fed from the ranks of official
life, that men in power seek only their
own ACKNOWLEDGMENT, and that ultimately
q final disruption Of the federal union will
follow as naturally rs death follows IN
the track Of war. 1t is under the effect
Of influences and impressions like these
that Republicans must act in choosing
their presidential candidate. In 1860,
when revolution was impending, the heart
of this nation ycarned for Abraham Lin
coin and the quick responding intclli-
gencc Of the people dictated his nomina-
ton, and who is there today that docs
not believe the martycr President to
have been the instrument through which
the continued life If this government was
secured? Lincoln was man familiar
with every rank and condition of society,
and possessed of an honest purpose.
With these qualifications and with the as.
sistance Of loyal constituency he saved
the nation. To-day, as in 1860, the peo-
pie, the rank and file Of the great army Of
citizens,-the laborers, the farmers, the
mechanics, the merchants and the profess
ional men-arc struggling to the front
and lifting up their voices in honest indig-
nation against the great crimes Of the pres
cut age. They believe it is possible to
have y pure government, and to have it
under the administration of the Republi-
can party. aud looking over its serried
hosts, they sce.-stauding among his fel-
lows as pine tree in his native State
stands towering above 1'c poplars,

life, acquainted with public men, accus.

Little Ones.

A Chicago editors cars arc so large that
he can shut himself in just like IN oyster
in his shell.
A man once called his horse "Napolc-
on" because he was such a Bony-p part.
This is strictly original, but have an
idea that read it in the papers some
where.
The planting had been done, the mourn
crs had all gathered down to the "Rctrcat,"
and as the bcrcavcd widowcr histcd the
pizcn to his lips, he remarked: 'Boys,
this was the boss funcral.'
Times arc hard, We know, and business
dull, but when man stands around the
post Office, and offers genuine $25 gold
watch chains ut fifteen cents, it is time the
oldest inllabitant was called out to arouse
US from this lctha1gy.
When the minister IS dilatiny on the
many virtues and numerous chastitics Of
the deceased to the sympathizing friends,
to have the corpse rise up and tell him to
"pull down his vest," is what We call
rough on the MISUNDERSTANDING News.

An OPEN LETTER.

AUSTIN, March ed, 1876.
J. +. WILLIAMS;
S1R:-1n October Disappointing the
fall campaign, l stated c,litorially that
you as County Auditor, for the months Of
January and February, 1876, had taken for
Salary and Clerk hire $l27.9S mo:e than
belonged to you. Some three months
later you published lengthy article at.
tempting to vinlicatc that salary steal,
but you made no denial of the truth of my
statement You did however, in that ar
,ic,e f.lsify the record, and you did it
knowingly and Of course, purposc!y. Your
statement, to the effect that you computed
your salary from January list, 1872 to
March LIST, 1872, upon the cqualized valu
alton Of 1871, WAS a POSITIVE FA1sEnOOD,
and is proved to be such by the records
made by your own hand. Ina recent cti-
torial l made this same statement, and re.
itcratcd my former allegation of your hav-
ing taken for the last two months of your
term $127.9S more than was your due, but
in your letter to the Republican you make
no denial, nor Go you attempt any cxpla.
nation Of that allegation. You seek rath-
or to avoid its force, by telling lies about
things which-if not wholly imaginary
arc not connected with this case in the
least degree. Now SIR! REPEAT THE
DEFINITE CHARGE THAT FOR THE
MONTHS or JANUARY AND FEB.
RUARY, 1915, AS COUNTY AUDITOR
YOU TOOK S127.9S MORE FOR YOUR
OWN AND YOUR CLERKS SER
VICES THAN WAS YOUR DUE. This
is rlain direct and positive accusation
and it must be met. If it is false, you
can easily show its falsity, anil you must
show 1t, Or the just indignation Of an out.
ragged constituency will make you hang
your weak head even lower than you do
now. You will not be permitted to avoid
meeting the case just rs have stated it
You did take for the months named
$l27.9S that did not belong to you. Now
it you have the courage, meet this with a
square denial. Contine yourself to the
question, and say that for January and
February 1915, you did not take $127.99
nor any other sum more than was your
due for those months Of service. II
you will say this I will confront
you with the record made by your.
self and nrOvc that Won state q falSchOOd
So much about your salary steal. Now,
word concerning tho vile insinuations
which you make If you will have the
manlincss to put single one OF them or
all of them into the form of direct state.
mcnt will give YOU an early opportuni.
ty to make good such statements by proof.
None but q coward will, by inuendocs and
cpithcts create an impression which he
dare not make by direct assertion.
