BELFoN, July 16.-There is every
indication that Bolton has q bonanza.
Last night party of young men
went in bathing in Nolan's creek, in

party resumed their clothes and re-
turned to town, but the scentiof the

SoME Republican newspapers are

SOME Republican newspapers are
outspoken in their condemnation of
the silly talk about the necessity for
greater safeguards to protect presi-
dents from assassination. The Bal
timore american says:
"The idea suggested is that the
Office of president is a post of dan
ger. We consider this rank nom
sense, notwithstanding the two de-
plorable events that seem to contra
dict it. Soldiers are but slight pro-
lection against lunatic, or against
a man who recklessly disregards the
loss of his own life. The true safe
guard of a president, and the only
one that he ought to need, IS a sue
ceSsion so arranged that no political
aim can be sought in has DEATH"

The st Louis Post Dispatch is
very severe upon some of the preach |
ers who, last Sunday, made the sub
ject of the attempt upon the presi-
dents. life theme for pulpit orato
ry. That paper says:
"With all due Difference to the
pulpit at large, we must be permit
ted to say that in our humble opin-
ion the preachers of this country
have generally shown their incapaci-
ty for wrestling with great nation
al calamity. Very naturally, the
majority of them availed themselves
last Sunday of the opportunity to
draw great lesson from the at
tempted assassination of the presi-
dent. We have read reports of SER
mons as they have been coming to
us during the week, and we are
shocked al the tone of a majority of
them. OF course it is the duty of
the clergy 10 see the hand of Provi
dence in this thing. DR.. Sunderland,
prominent pastor of one OF the
Washington city churches, takes the
ground that God especially raised
up the-tramp Guiteau to shoot Gar
field as means of Furnishing the ma
ton on account of its skepticism,
immortality, nihihsm and general
looseness. DR.. Newman, the for
mer pastor of Grants church,
coincided in this view and went
so far as to advocate a reduc-
tion of suffrage to native Americans
because the idiot who fired upon the
president happened TO have q trace
of foreign blood in his veins Just
what the doctor would call a native
American-seeing that all of us who
are not directly related to the abori-
ginal Indians have q suspicion of
foreign antecedents about us-we
are not prepared to say, but we pre-
sumo he would be willing to draw
the line at those whose parents had
the honor to come over in the May
flower. We do not believe in the
theory that God caused the presi-
dent to be shot down as a punish
ment and warning to our people,
BECAUSE we are no worse now than
we have been for years, and we are
now worse as nation than some of
our neighbors whose rulers are
never interfered With.
AS a general rule the ideas of
preachers upon political questions
are anything but practical, and it
not intrequently happens that good
sermons are spoiled by poor politics.
In other words, religion and poll
tics are not companionable subjects,
and when mixed in the pulpit often
render their interpreter ridiculous.

A GOOD many people are trying
very hard to start Bob Lincoln
boom. Among them is Judge
Lochrane, of Georgia, who last year
declared his state was solid for
Grant. Lochrane doesnot say things
half way He declares Bob Lincoln
will be the next president, and he is
going to keep ON guessing, in hope
of q final reward.

On Thursday, the colOred people
representing the states of Texas,
Arkansas and Louisiana, met in
Waco and laid the cornerstone of
their great university of the south
west--the Paul Quinn College. By
a simple process of reasoning, they
ought to decide that Waco is the
best location for other institutions
of learning.-Eranai1ser. 10
This, presumably, is one of the
Examiners arguments In favor of
Waco for the university location.
If so, it is unfortunate, for the people
of Texas are opposed to any "mix-
ing up" in the matter of education.

UNITED STATES Senator Matt
Ransom, of North Carolina, has high
regard for the press. In a college
address he incidentally told the stu
dents that the newspaper is "a
school more powerful than the regu-
lar educational institutions" He
also said that "Gen. Lee at one time
contemplated the establishment of
a chair of journalism in the Wash
ington university of Virginia, and
the very suggestion was monument
to his genius. Finally, the restora-
ton and nourishment of this fair
southland can only be performed
through the medium of the press"
