Great YIrtue and a Small VIce.


There is not more fair minded, intelligent
or scholarly journal, North or South, Repub-
lican or Democratic, than the Boston Adver-
tiser. Caustic and clever in all its researches
into the unknown intricacies Of foreign poll
tics, and familiar, as with the Lords prayer,
with the humors Of Northern politics, as we'll
as with the arts, the science and philosophy
of cause and consequence, generally, II is yet
true that our esteemed contemporary sinks
into utter hel plessness the moment the demon
Of Southern politics gets astrde Of his broom
sticks and begins to gallop on the political
causeway, as in the late long ago.
In relating an incident OF the Gubernatoral
election in Kentucky, which is as fiat fiction
as fable ever devised, our ingenious contem-
porary accepts all as revelation, and puts it in
these words: "Three colored men stood
there, one Of whom named Green Waugh
mann, shouted 'Hurrah for Berkerell.' lie was
thereupon, promptly struck over the head with a
pistol by one of the white men, and then shot
in the back" We here, from our citadel in
the South, on the Republican side Of politics,
desire to assure our contemporary that there
is not one word of truth in this. The whole
narrative, as given in its editorial column,
with all the gravity ofimpression and moment
GUS news, ought to be sufficiently ludicrous to
arrest attention. 1t is time for it to cease AID
time for papers Of the character and influence
Of the Boston Advertiser TO guard against
being so cheaplY sold

The Suicidal Wave.

We walk amid the mysteries Of life and
death unchallenged and unafraid and swim the
rapids Of Phagora by thousands and in a
thousand ways. We simply lack the faculty
to be afraid. Building in the thought world
the home we will not be denied we cover our
selves with the darkness and trust the light
But with whatever confidence they who 60
take the rash plunge we stand on this neither
shore from age to age still waiting the testi-
mony or the return that we who will not take
counsel Of despair may step over to the better
shore. But all ! there is a voice that ever
speaks to the weird sorceress and says "wait, "
still wait" Something in the home realm is
unadjusted, something in the better land I'M
prepared. All is not in readiness at all times
and the whisper comes from the gate OF
''wait," still "wait." God will come for us
bye and bye, il the poet tells the true story OF
destiny:
"God, our Father, yet will come
When our human lips are dumb,
When the sin no more survives,
Frescoed in our human lives;
Then we shall walk into the
Doors of His Inhnlty,
And shall gather hand In hand
Nictors in the Living Land.
Then the skies shall be unsealed,
Then the earth its darkness yield,
Life Its shadow, death Its pail,
God will then redeem us all.

Experience is the only guide treated with
respect by mortals.'
The question is often asked: Why is it, when
you hear many business men complain
ing of dull times, look blue and wear long
face and never seem satisfied, when, on the
mammoth store of l.. Wolfson, on Main plaza,
he will meet you with pleasant good morn
ing, and you are at once made TO feel as IL you
had met man who would deal fairly and give
you full value Tor your money. Wolfson never
Rrumbles about dun times, and, more than all,
ne Is persistent advertiser, and believes II let
what he has for sale, and does not believe in
letting goods remain on his shelves, and is
always willing TO divide profits with his
adVertises what he has for sale and Is never
Just out" His fair dealing, low prices and
persistent advertising Is the key 20 this secret,
made known. 0-gif

WHAT has become of the Dana Birdsall
affair As an example OF political belliger-
ency it deserves attention at the hands of all
loyal Pickwickians. Mr.. Dana's nochalance
in pocketing the injury, and trying only to do
as much hurt in return, adds up the idleness
Of war of defense. Mr.. Dana's hundred
and odd thousand leaders have not been per-
mitted to be convinced that that gentleman
scuttled $4,000 bride, and went down with
it. But they are satisfied that Judge Birdsall
has some faults that only the Dana sponge is
competent wholly to wipe 1t is difficult

everything is free in London; there is free

least, no lawless or unauthorized restraints
nothing to intercept peace congress when

we, that what reckless and irresponsible
