A C0lOred Ex- -COngressman's TrOu
bleS.
Baltimore SsEn, 9th.

Jere Haralson, the colored ex-Congress-
man from Alabama, and recently an Inspec-
tor In the Baltimore custom house, showed
yesterday a telegram which he received
from Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury
John G. New. The dispatch reads as fol-
lows: "Your resignation has not been ac-
cepted." HARRISON presented himself at the
custom house, but ne was not allowed to go
on duty unless he could produce orders to
that effect from the Secretary of the Treas
ury. HARRISON rays that when he was sus-
pended he resigned, but was under misap-
prehension of the true facts of the
case when he did so. He afterwards went
to Collector Webster and asked to withdraw
his resignation. The Collector told him
that the resignation had already been ac-
cepted and q successor nominated. The
rules require that all nominations made by
the Collector must be approved by the Sec
retary of the Treasury, and HARRISON con-
strues this to mean that designations must
be accepted also by the Department. Mr.
Charles Brown, appointed by Collector
Webster in Haralson's place, has not
been confirmed by the Department vet
Haralson was In Washington on Satur-
day, and says Assistant Secretary New
ordered him to report for duty, which be
did Saturday, but was not permitted to re-
sumo his duties. He will continue to report
from day to day, and when pay day comes
will present his claim for wages. Collector
Webster was not In Baltimore during the
day, but arrived last night. He disclaimed
any feeling in the matter, and says Haralson
was suspended by Surveyor NALL for neglect
Of duty. Haralson afterwards resigned to
the Collector, who ordered him to resume
his place, in order to be able to draw his
money. Collector Webster then accepted
Haralson's resignation and nominated Mr..
Charles Brown to the place. Haral-
son afterwards wrote to the Collector
asking to withdraw his resignation. Col
lector Webster consented to this, and prom
ised an investigation of his case. HARRISON
then asked for this last letter, withdrawing
his resignation, and destroyed it. Failing
to hear from the department on Browns
appointment, the Collector wrote to Wash.
ington, thinking 1t had been overlooked.
The reply came that Browns nomination
had not been acted on, owing to the state
ment of HARRISON that the resignation had
been obtained under duress. Collector
Webster thinks that should the department
reject Browns nomination, it would be an
indication that the Secretary wished Haral.
son to remain. He will Of course have to be
officially informed of the departments
action before reinstating the ex- Congress
man.

from the Supreme Court OF the United
States to the Court of Appeals OF Virginia,

Gently decided by the Virginia Court of APP

the new act known as the coupon killer was
sustained and the mandamus requiring the

Mr.. F. W. Putnam has exhibited to the
Boston Society of Natural History speci-
mems of a collection of several hundred
rude stone implements which MIR. David
Dodge has Obtained from plowed
graveIly fields at Wakefield, Mass. The
Implements had not yet been found in
places in the gravel, so that it was not
possible to decide that they were true
palaolithic implements, for rude forms
of the same character are often associated
in this country with finely polished imple-
ments of the neolithic period. Some of
the specimens were obtained from very
old pile of stone chips nearly buried in
the side of hill, where similar imple-
ments to those found in the fields nearby
had evidently been made. 1t was worthy
of remark that none of the arrow-heads
and similar forms common near places
where paleolithic objects have been dis
covere1 had been found in connection
with these implements.

Does This Lie at Your Door

The bitterest thing of all, is that the
government that protects the beasts OF
the field, and the birds of the air, and
even the fishes of the sea, not only re-
fuses to protect our boys, but actually
sells them to raise public revenue. For
every $1,000 collected from the liquor
Oligarchy, for public revenue, some
mothers son is sacrificed on the leak
ing, putrid altar of Bacchus. And
what we complain of as mothers is that
they sell our boys too cheaply-Only
$1,000 apiece for boys worth to us their
weight in diamonds. Ask that mother
who presses her white-sOuled child to
her breast, what she Will take for her
boy, and she will tell you that all the
money i'll the United States treasury
could not buy the one little right arm
that ncstles in her bosom. No, we
don't sell our children to the slow tor
lures of the drinking saloons. We are
robbed by municipal authorities, rob
bed by the state, robbed by the liquor
oligarchy; all united together, hand
joined to hand, for gain. But the in
spired writer says they shall never
prosper, even though the wicked join
hands and the truth of the word is
verified i'll this land. To-day this
country, that ought to be the richest i'll
the world, is filled with confusion and
beggary and crime, and IA bitter wall of
want and woe without surcease goes up
to God. God will be avenged. The
cry of the widow robbed of her chill
dren has gone up before him; the
prayers of mothers, whose sons have
been murdered in drinking saloons,
have been heard the tears of women
who have seen their husbands and
brothers and sons go down, down,
amid the slow tOrtures of legalized
dram-shops, are bottled in heaven
against the law makers and rulers of
the land and God will make requisi-
ton for blood, and the weight and bit
terness of want and woe men have
brought upon others, they will yet feel.
A government cannot long survive that
lives on its vitals; that has a system
of finance that involves the destruction
of the property and life of its own citi-
zens.- The Christian Woman.

Temperance and Religion.

Every church member should make
temperance a part of his daily religion.
The bottle is the deadliest foe to Christ
in our churches and our communities.
A friend of Christ must be the enemy
Of the bottle. More souls are ruined
by the intoxicating cup than by any
single vice or error on the globe. Ev-
cry professed Christian who gives his
example to the drinking usages is
a partner in the tremendous havoc
which those evil customs produce. al
any man will come after me-" said the
Divine Master, ''let him deny himself
And the great apostle only clenched
this glorious precept when he said, at
is good not to drink wine whereby my
brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is
made weak" On this immutable rock
of self denial stands the temperance
reform. There the divine founder OF
Christianity placed it. With Chris
tianity it is linked with Christianity
it will stand or perish. We do not
hesitate to close this brief paper will
the declaration that with the triumph
and prevalence of Christian self denid
in the church is bound up the only hope
of the triumph and prevalence of pure
Christianity, in our world.-lT. l.
