THE New York Nation says: "Now,
we make bold to say that nobody outside
the circle of his intimate personal friends

Cameron, of Pennsylvania, are to-day on
any question of American politics on

posed. We do not know of any speech of
his, Or of any bill introduced by him, or
any book, pamphlet, or article in which he

SLEEPING DRAUGHTs,-An. English
doctor, writing about sleep and sleep
lessness, observes that the state mar
cotics produce is not sleep, but a posi-
ton of narcotism that countertelts
sleep, adding: "When man says 4
want a quiet night, will taks a
sleeping draught,' he speaks in para
bles, To express the fact plainly he
should say, i want quiet night; l
cannot obtain it by gong to Sleep or
I am afraid to trust to the chances of
natural rest, so I will poison myself a
little, just enough to make me uncon-
scious, or to slightly paralyze my
nerve centers, not enough to kill If
this tact could be kept clearly before
the mind, the reckless use Of drugs
which produce a state that mocks
sleep would be limited The state
of iuaction which is brought about by
natural sleep is very different from
that which is produced by paralysis

Death.bed Repentance.

An eminent Christian physician IN
London'gives the following testi'
monyi Through u period OF forty
years have made careful notes con-
cerning one thousand persons to
whom, when supposed to bc dying, l
was called, but who were eventually
restored to health, These persons all
proiessed to repent Of their sins and
70 exercise faith in Jesus Christ, but
by diligcnt inquiry have found that
Of this large number only thirty-six
gave evidence that their repentance
and faith were genuine.
Meeting lately with this striking
fact, it called 10 mind the following IN
my own experience. Some eight
gears since a messenger called hastily
on the writer with the request that he
would at once call upon a man who
was thought to be dying. Upon en-.
tering the room his first romark was
"You know l have been very

preached Jesus as q Saviour from sin,
assuring him of tho willingness of
God to receive him if he truly repen-
ted and believe in Jesus. He ap-
peared to do this with all his heart,
-, - L-.--o" onron rnnnas nassad
hvu death unto lifo, unexpectedly he
was restored to health. and with hiS
restoration, all his concern vanish
ed. He has since lived as fully we'd
ded to the world as before.
An aged minister'of Worchester
county told me of a similar case in
which an apparently dying man ex'
pressed great joy in his new'found
Saviour aud in forgiveness OF sin, but,
On returning to health, expressed
great surprise on being told Of it by
his pastor, and said he had no recol-
lections of any such experience, nor
had he now any interest IN the SUBJ
iect.
O that man would turn TO the Lord
while he may be found, and call upon
him while he is near, for "Now is the
accepted time, now is the day OF sal
vation."

CREDIT.

We have frequently heard citizens
who appear to be men of ordinary in
telhgence, decry and denounce credit.
Are they aware that seventy-6ve per
cent. of the commercial wealth in the
world consists in credit 1t is the
poor mans capital pitted in honorable
competition with the rich mans
wealth. Thus the number Of custo-
mers are increased, and the producer
and manufacturer get the benefit in
the enhancement of values.
No great private or public enter
prise can be successfully prosecuted
without credit. Without it the world
would be at the mercy Of the blsod-
sucking money sharks.
While credit is Of the greatest in-
portance to the individual, it is Of
equal consequence, to the State. There
is no telling at what time the acts of
an inscrutable providence, or failure
Of crops, or visitation of plague may
make 1t absolutely necessary for the
State, through its Legislature, to use
its credit for the protection and pre-
servstion of its citizens. The public
credit never looks beyond the produc>
tive capacity of a people TOR the pay
ment ofits obligations, however, just.
The first duty of the Legislature is to
provide for the running expenses of
the State, then the honest obliga.
tions thereof. If for any temporary
reason it is not within the present abil-
ity Of the people to meet these, it then
becomes the duty of the Legislature
to use, with prudence and wisdom,
the credit, the faith Of the State be-
ing pledged. 1t then being possible
and probable that the State may at
any time be under the necessity of
using her credit to bridge over an
emergency that is liable to arise with
any people. is it not the sheerest folly
for the people to trihe with it by urg-
ing'quibbles and technicalties.
Then, fellow poor man, when you
are tempted by the "Communistic
Devil" to array yourself against social
order and to excite class against class,
say unto him, "Get thee behind me,
Satan" For it is your heart, your
throat and your life at which his weap-
Gus are directed with fiendish skill.
With thca success Of the doctrine
advocated by the leaders OF the Will
son party comes the downfall of every
poor man who has only his good
name FIR capital" The rich man can
stend it at loss, but can the poor

Hon. Erastus Corning, of New
York, in a recent speech truthfully
and truly sums up the record of the
radical party. "It is party of cru
sading. 1t has run muck against
tae south; against the constitution;
against the right Of majorities to rule;
against the theories for courts to abide
by their decisions, when once reached,
as in the legal tender case; against the
proper rights of States; against the su-
periority of the civil to the military
power; against the freedom of cleo
tlons and against the unwiitten law
of no third term" These are facts not
stated for Indictment, but for illustra-
ton to show that the Republican par
ty is an interference. 1t has a genius
and passion for interference. Its his
tory and all due analogy show that
the next thing it is likely to interfere
with is the American system of home
industries.

Rule I'm the south.

Sherman says the Republican party
will never rest until the Republican
party has been put in power in the
South. We call attention to the
manner in which Republican power
was obtained and maintained in the
South and to the results which flow
ed from the power and to those which
have flowed from the improved state
of affairs under Democratic Congress
and the absence of sectional legislation
amp carpet bag rule enforced by a Re.
publican Congress. The only way to
secure that rule again, aside from the
natural increase in intelligence and
power of the Republican party, is by
the means once used for that purpose.
Since those means were rendered im>
possible by Democratic preponderance
in Congress we have had peace, order,
crime, bankruptcy and ruin. Both
sections have enjoyed the improved
state of affairs. Now, with both
houses of Congress close contested. it
depends on Tennessee to say whether
Congress shall again begin the old
stalwart policy, renew the old reign
of the carpet-bagger, that hideous in-
cubus which fingers in memory as 9
thing too horrible to have been real.
and yet real we know it was. There
are higher interests at stake than q
pittance of State taxes--our future
for this generation at least hangs TO-
day in the balance. Tennessee will
decide which way the scale shall turn.

A spec;al disnatcb from Chats

A special dispatch from Chatta-
Looga says that Lew Sheppard, Alto
Fischer and G. G. Snyder, three OF
the most active and prominent repu.
diationists in East Tennessee, have
gone over to the republicans. This
fact, in connection with visit to that
city few days ago by Col. Savage,
the boss repud;ator of the State. and
candidate for the United States SEN
ate, is regarded as a movement that
will be followed by all the Reputation
leaders to Garfield and Ha~kins, the
republican candidate for governor.
The significance of this bolt from Viii.
son, the repudiation candidate, to
Hawkins, is that it is regarded as a
preconcerted arrangement upon the
part of thesrepudiation leaders. who
are believed TO have been working in
the interest of the republicans when
they bolted from the democratic con-
vention.

ported as declaring that the Republi-

figures. In addition he claims that
there we're at least 5000 colored men
