WIFE BEATER.

RIA. Smith was Friday night arrested
for beating his wife, and to-day, at Judge
Fletchsr's court, fined $15 and costs
and placed under a 800 bond to keep
the peace. The beating occurred last
night Smith is a fullblooded negro
and his wife a white woman. The
cause OF imposing bond to keep the
peace was threat made by him that he
would cut her throat with q razor. If
the matter of intermarriage of races needs
protest. backed by argument, we offer the
above practical argument.

An Orthodox Religious Journal ON

an OELhouoA hehEiOuS Journal on
Grover Cleveland.
From the Congregationalist,A Aug. %.
The personal character of a candi.
date Is legitimate and proper subject
of investigation. After a bad man actu-
ally has been elected to office-hIs cor.
ruption having remained unknown until
the revelation of 1t could not alter the
result at the election and could only
disgust the public-it might be wiser
TO let his character pass undiscussed ;
but when the tact of his moral baseness
has been discovered before his
election, it would be wicked not
to proclaim it; and the shame
and disgrace OF the revelation attach not
to those who make 1t from a true sense
OF duty, but to those would deceive the
public by concealing or excusing the in
iquity. No worse or more enduring evil
can be inflicted upon the world than
that of making light of moral rettenncss,
accepting insufficient excuses for il and
belittling the need of sincere and thor
oughgoIng atonement for it; and the
more eminent the guilty man, the worse
is the evil of apOlOgizlng for him on the
ground OF his greatness.
The conditions of the present cam
paign have rendered clear the obligation
OF Christian men In one respect, at the
least. They may not be decided yet for
whom TO vote, or to vote at all. But il
is the duty of every good man and every
good citizen to do his best to defeat cor
ruptiOn in both public and private reia-
tons of life, and especially that it is no
matter what mans personal morals are
if he be publicly above reproach-should
receive such a prompt, unanimous and
emphatic condemnation that no.
body ever again shall dare
even 10 whisper such q
scandalous theory. Its direfuI conse-
quences are prompt to appear. We al
ready have heard of at least two young
men who boldly justify their own vicious
courses by the plea. sit Is admitted now
that mans private character is his own
affair, and folks only have q right to in
quIre about his lie before the world. /"
This is but a sample of what is coming,
and there never was a time In our
national history when Christians more
needed to pray for enlightenment In re-
gard to their own duty, and tor the over.
ruling of corrupt public teachers and
teachings, than to-day.

d. s. Gilmore was arrested Friday

party of men were moving his house

the bells to procure the aid of the city
authorities to prevent 1t. From
whatever cause, II is evident
that he acted under mental
alteration. To a News reporter he
stated that he went home and saw q
large party of men who had loaded his
house on u wagon, and were about TO re-
place 1t when they saw him and scat
tered. He said he knew nothing of the

confused notion of having fired a gun.

mine the real nature of the disorder OF
mind, which it is hoped is only tempo

Scarcity OF Water.
TWO VILLAGES DEPENDENT ON SINGLE SPRING
DISEASE AND DEATH.

DISEASE AND DEATH.
From the New York Sun.
For years past the residents OF Centrala. Pa,
have suffered from the scarcity OF water In the
summer months Last year they had to pay fifty
cents a barrel for it. 1t was hauled for miles In
tanks and barrels, and was warm and unfit to
drink. Since then the Centralia water works have
been built and water is brought In pipes from the
Brush valley ten miles away, and the trouble has
been greatly obviated. The neighboring villages
OF Dark Corner and Big Mine Run are not so for
tunate and water is almost as there 1t is
in the great Sahara desert AT Dark Corner the
whole population depend on single spring. IL
yields about three gallons OF rather brackiSh
water an hour. All day long it is surrounded by
from ten to fifty men, women and children. At
night II is trysting place for the young folks.
Al unusually large number OF deaths have been
reported from these two patches" DIR. ID. S. Mar
Shall, OF OshlanG has made an Investigation OF the
disease, and pronounceS II dysentry, caused by
drinking impure surface water AT Big Mine Run
during the past month there were nineteen deaths
Twelve children and four men are now down with
the disease. Nearly every family in the place has
or had one or more cases. LitmuS paper changed
color on remaining in the water two minutes show

Dark Corner, where live deaths have occurred and

the condition OF the drinking water.
