he secured the larger portion OF the
argus stock held by Cassidy, Mayor OF
Albany for three consecutive, terms. But
at the election OF 1881 his fine work had
been so bold and daring that 1t could not
stand the light Of judicial investigation,
and Mr.. Nolan resigned TO save further
exposure Of Mannine's political methods.
Manning can hardly be called Q pop

money, but acquired power by placing
people under obligations to himself. Nor
did'he ever aspire to social prominence.

the Episcopal church, OF which his first
wife was q member, and both Of bis sous,
who hold important positions on the

Nobody knows whether Mr.. Manning
holds any decided opinions on public

Augustus q. Garland was born in Tip:
ton county, Tennessee, June II, 1882. His
parents removed to the State OF Arkansas
the following year and settled in the bot
tom lands Of the Red River Valley. At a
suitable age young Garland was sent to
Bardstown, KY, to be educated in what
was then the most famous seat Of learning
in the Southwest. His academic studies
were pursued in the Catholic colleges Of
ST. Mary and st. Joseph. During the lat
ter part OF his residence in Bardstown he
read law, and attended the trial ot causes
in the courtroom whenever he had the
opportunity.
He opposed the secession ot Arkansas
as long as there was any hope Of O peace
full solution OF sectional differences. When,
however, war was inevitable, he threw In
his lot with his State. He was O member

crate governments he gave his counsel to

sThe ecclesiastical evolution was
traced from the installation dinners,
with half-tipsy clergy, to the declar-
alton of the NJ. E. Church that on
pure juice of the grape should be
offered on the sacrimental table. In
law, the development was shown
from absolute negation to emphatic
affirmation, Prohibition being affirm
ed by Constitutional Amendment in
three States and in process of sub
mission to the people in three more.
THE LATEST EvoLUTIoNs
Of the century were political. The
history of parties was but the histo-
ry Of great reforms when they have
been lifted to the plane of law, law
makers and law-enforcers. PrOhi-
bltion is the highest essence OF the
modern spirit it seeks body that
can authoritivefy carry out its will.
This it has found in political
movement which dedicates men in
the proposition, 1.-THE saloon must
go" Out Of this party, under
changed name and widened platform
will come, as the final evolution of
the century.
woMAN's BALLOT
as a temperance issue, the nece ssary
sequence of the party's logic and
the military exigency of its policy.
The well-ordered home is the only
true miniature of a we'll ordered
State. The temperance reform can
not reach its largest and most be-
nefcent development while half the
wisdom, more than half the purity,
and nearly all the gentleness of hu-
man nature are unexpressed in the
ballot box, the courtroom and the
hall of legislation. A party to uni
fly the North and South against that
liquor power which is the sworn
domestic foe of both is coming fast,
to blot Mason & Dlxon's line out of
the heart as we'll as off the map, and
give us not only re-United States,
but "two heads in council as well
as "two beside the hearth" and, as
the sequel OF all this, an outlawed
liquor traffic and a protected home.
BARTHoI.pI's STATUE OF LIBERTY
has a woman's form and depicts his
mothers face. 1t will be lifed to its
pedestal before the close Of our first
temperance century, and will sym
bolize liberty according to law.
ssNot like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With brawny limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our washed. sunset gates shall
stand
A mighty woman, with torch whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her anne
Mother Of Exiles.''
10 what shall she welcome the ex-
lies from less happy countries with
her calm, tender, motherly face
looking out toward the Implying
sea in the centuries to come? 10 a
Republic based on the side of a pro-
tected home; to a system Of educa,
ton that extinguishes Plution that il
may light ,Promethean fires; to a
Gospel country where Christ reigns
not in form but in fact, and where
the liquor traffic shall no more hurt

In the moral world-as in the
physical-slight impulses become
mighty storms which sweep Ovea con-
tinents. In the spiritual world it
seems as if the mighty conviction OF
few makes itself felt, like a sound
wave until whole nations are vlbra'
ting with one thought. Under such
an influence, Peter the Hermit led
thousands to death in the first Cru
sades; and like impulse set in mo-
ton the Liquor-crusade of little
more than ten years since. Elgh--
teen hundred years ago, a Theocracy
had failed to satisfy the religious
needs of the Jewish people. Greeks
and Romans still lighted fires upon
their affairs, poured out oblations and
offered first fruist in multiform ex-
preston of their POlytheism. But
they had, as it were, outgrOwn their
old faiths and at heart all were
skeptics. The subtle Greek mind
had felt It's way to higher truth than
mythology had taught it in philos-
ophy which startles us to-day with
assertion of truths we have learned
from revelation. Rome sat at the
feet of Greece; but their highest
ideals attained, all we're cropping to-
ward uncertain light. The whole
civilized world was saddened, dead
ened, brutalized, for want of vital
izing faith, want which the think
ing souls Of Nations felt to the SOULS
citadel. The Jews had tradition
that their darkness should flee in the
presence Of an expected Messiah.
Rome and Greece, Egypt and far-ofi
India, waited with dumb yearnlng
to see if this hope be realized
"The earnest expectation of the
creature waiteth for manifestation
Of the sons OF God" The great hu,
man heart Of the world cried OuI
like Aristotle: 80 God, if there be
a God, more light! more light =
and in answer to that cry Chris
came! Buth came not to fill the
world with an all.prevailing glory
but teaching the great paradox, Il
a man would find his life he mus
loose it"-that the great law of lifi
IS what men call death-the death Q
self for the life of others; that b
that is greatest among you is hetha
is servant of all. How great a truth
But as Robertson says, .This is tn
law of the cross. No man dieth t
himself alone, for his pain and los
are for others and unconsciously t
them brings with it JOY and gain.
Good friends, for eighteen hun
dred years this thought has lived j
Christian church; with how littl
energizing force God only knows
but that it has lived, we women 0
Mississippi, organized here to-da
for work Of humanity, are livin
proof. aa
The last half century of tn
worlds history reveals a restles
anxiety to know, like plate, "Wha
is truth ?" Truth is culminative- a
least to mans minds. The eterns
Verities are,the same, "unchangeabl
in their being, wisdom, power, jui
tice, holiness, goodness and truth.

Through the door opened wide,

See how the warm lights fall
On the soft tinted wall,
Bright ming the hues though all

Quaint is the mantle tiled
Quite as my lady styled
Books on the table piled
In rare disorder.
Rugs scattered here and there,
Yonder her willow chair.
Dainty with ribbons fair
Twined all about it.
While from some dim retreat,
Here in the room l greet
Roses that breathe their sweet
Fragrance throughout it.
Hers is an artists hand;
Look the storks that stand
Patient, one-legged, and
Stif on their panels;
Pansies upon a placque,
Landscapes that nothing lack,
All sorts Of bric-a-brac
Knewn in Arts annals.
Antique the cabinet
ON whose high shelves are set
Curiaus, rare-and yet
Some are atrociOus.
Here o rude arrowhead,
Dug from an earthen bed,
Tells Of q warrior dead,
Once grim, ferocious.
Picture her dimpled face
Lending its winning grace
Unto this charming place
Which she possesses.
Then one can easy see
How fair it well may be
Here in the realm which she
Constantly blessss.
All! as the sunshine bright
Banishes dreary night
And to the days glad light
Yields its rare essence,
So throughout all the room,
Fairer than roses bloom,
Sweeter than their perfume,
Is her dear presence.
