srArE PRESS REVIEW,

Tn Msrsbsll there is . paper published
,.l,sd the Christian Advocate. 1t is pub
M,t.d under the auspices of the colored
Ns,hodist church, and edited BY two colored
men. From the last issue of the paper we
,,ke the following from an editorial on
.Forknowledgv." We don't know whesh-
q, il is good Methodist doctrine or not, Blu. il
ipretty strongly put
Foreknowledge is term used IN the
scrip,ures, occasionally, to br'ngt tho knowl'
edge OF God to our weak conceptions.
Knowledge in absolute perfection as 900
possesses it, is not present and past as 1t is
with man, it 10 the same rs his eternity to
man, there is eternity past, and there Is
eternity future, but with God IL is one eter-
nal now. To man there is knowledge 10 the
psst present aud future tense, because MS
knowiedgs ia limited, but with unlimited
knowledpe as is Gods there can be only the
nresent tense. God knew from all eternity
ali the events of time that would ever trans.
nire. he knew in the creation OF man all, ev-
an the most minute acts that would happen,
10 the falling of n hair, just MS we'll as ne
does now. Ii he knows more now than he did
in the De ginning, he WAS not perfect then,
and # he will know more at the end OF time
tbsn he does to-day, he is not now pei feet in
knowledge as scriptures teach.
The Bonham Advocate on the question OF
nrotioition is disposed to be accommodating.
Il doesn't care whether prohibition is pro-
biui,ed or goes into effect. 1t does not believe
however, that prohibition will prove effect
usl, and says:
VIVA, prohibition would do for county,
we cannot say, for we have never seen it tried.
), We are in favor of temperance. we have
I never taken the opposite side OF any move
ment Oft Q people put on foot TO Abolish 'he
traffic, but when we reflect that TINS g,Vern,,
men, is over one hundred years old, and
since our recollection, more than forty years,
war has been waged sgainst the monster,
strong drink, in every conceivable shape and
vet he stands rs apparently impregnabie as
Stone Wa naturally enough 1t seems, tnas
our faith should be weak. Bat it the people
wan, to try the experiment of county option
we are agreed.
The Hampstead Review thinks the at
tempt on the fe of he president was the
outurowth OF communism, nihilism, social'
ism and wants these i,ms crushed out ofe1'
istence in this country. In the face of ,hil
opinion the socialists Of Chicago and shat il
the central point of the ism, have passed res
olulions of condemnation, indignation sorrow
and regret. But the Review has right Il
its opinion, even if 1t stands alone in all thu
couatry therein. Itsays:
The recent dastsr lily attempt on the life o
the president by the fanatic Gitteau, is III
indication Of The pernicious eff .cls of social
istic theories upon the brains Of enthusiasts
Although this is free country IL should no
be understood that malcon,enls, or emisssIie
Of nbilism or any men imbued with rvo u
tionary ideas, are at liberty to plot tue ruin o
the republic and create an era of anarch,
like that now existing in some of the mos
powerful governments of Europe. That th
wretch who shot Garfield bad imbibed tn,
noxlous doctrines Of the European revolu
Nonits, admits of no question, and that ,h
country IS full Of his dangerous kiud, /
equally clear. 1t Is time that communism
and nihism and socialism and all oihe
l:ns, which threaten to undermine GU
! liberties, DO wiped from the land by on
sweep of the national broom; and whethe
II eInsnate from fansucism or be, rs som
assert, the result of deep laid, helish plo,
the assault upon the president of this gres
republic demands condign punishment
The Weatherford Commercial has faith i
the young democracy of Texas. and is Gel
tain that i. will raise potent voice in III
! next state convention. 1t says: The part
organization will be compelled to listen t
be demands of the progr ssve element
democratic party during the canvas
\ Year, This element kaown as tn
g democracy have weight enough in th
IN to cleo their ticket, and they are deter
Nv d to have FAY in the next gubernatori'
A ebtion.
y be Mckinney Enquirer says:
party of hunters visited tho "Flats" lai
urdsy and killed number Of young pra
chickens not larger than Qusils. This is
oh!ion of the law, and If their names cs

more sense, nor regard for what is right tina
bkil prairie chickens before they arc lsrg

penalty Ia not severer.
