who use tobacco. He says that some
congregations are unwilling to have
them for pastors, and that in many

a brother who smokes chews, and splits,
intruding himself as comforter into
the chamber of an invalid

AS the programme of the Democrats
in Yazoo county has been informally ap-
plauded and Endorsed by the chairman
Of the state central Democratic commit
tee of Mississippi, who is the editor of
a paper, it is to be inferred that such pro-
ceedings are to be recognized-or, at the
very least, tolerated-as part of the rec
ognized policy of the party in that
state" Starting out with a remark like
the above, the Atlanta Constitution
wants 10 know, you know: How can
the great Democratic party Of the Vuiop
go before the country arguing in favor
of free elections, while the Democrats
of Mississippi are enforcing mob law,
and deciding political contests before a
vote is castr What argument can be
used against troops at the polls while a
Mississippi mob warns a candidate not
to submit his claims to the suffrage of
the people" In answer to the first ques-
hon, we will say, frankly, we don't see
how they can. In answer to the second,
the people are ready to say, None"

st. Louis Republican.

st. Louis Republican.
1t is not often that an aristocratic
home, the center of hospitality and friend
ly meetings in the heart of a community
noted for its affluence, culture and
leisure, is so rudely broken up by the
apparitiOn of an husband, governor and
ex-senator, armed with a shotgun,
threatening the life of still more dis
tinguished senator, while the goodly
company assembled under the hospitable
roof are forced TO scamper away from the
skeleton thus suddenly and Unexpectedly
uncovered. a few years ago the man who
appears as the wronged husband in this
startling picture was governor of
Rhode Island and eX-major general of
the army, IA successful manufacturer,
possessed of large wealth and social in
fluence. When subsequently,, he ap-
peared at Washington as senator from
Rhode Island and courted and married
the beautiful and brilliant daughter of
now deceased chief justice, who had
been governor of Ohio and a leading
member of the first Republican cabinet,
the union seemed eminently appropriate,
and nothing was thought wanting to
complete the happiness of the parties
But low little do we know what the
future may have in store for the favOrites
of fortune. Here is household smitten
and wrecked in one hour by a scandal
in comparison with which stroke of
lightning killing all its members would

to sell patent for n buck board wagon
of his invention, and that his bankruptcy
arises from an unreasonable rush of his
creditors. He believes his estate will
sell for enough to pay his $4,000 debt,
