BAD roads in Elmira, n. Y, caused
man who was there on business
from Millport to fall from his wagon
and sustain a very severe injury. He
offered to settle for $500. Elmira of
hclals declined the offer. He then
sued, and the Supreme Court affirms
a judgement for $4,000, the highest
ever given against a corporation in
this country for a similar cause. A
good lesson to those who do not mend
their ways before accidents happen.

THE WIND AND THE LILY.

The lily lifted her mlk-white bloom,
And she freighted the air with soft perfume,
And the warm wind came from the sultry vale
And he kissed her petals so soft and pale.
With fearless heart she reared her heed.
For she thought she was naught for the wind
to dread,
And she wrapped her round in her spotless
pride,
And she shed her fragrance on every side.
But the wind grew warmer and stronger STILL
And he kissed her cup with an ardent will
And her petals dropped in the burning air,
While her beauty waned with mute despair.
put the wind passed by with careless smile,
And he sought new buds in little while
Yet he gave no wealth to the perfect flower,
But he took from her-beauty, pride and power.
q pondered the lesson in thoughtful fashion:
The lily was virtue, the wind was passion.l

The recent Soldiers monument
meeting at Montgomery, Alabama,
was more loyal and more respect
oble one than the bowling Republican
mob which met at Albany, N. Y, to
denounce and curse it. In his speech
on this occasion JEFFERSON DAVIS
uttered the following patriotic senti-
ments
In conclusion, permit me to say, though
the memory of our glorious past must ever
be dear to US, dnty points to the present and
the future. Alabama having resumed her
place in the Union, be it yours to fulfill all
the obligations desolving upon all the good
citizens seeking to restore the general Gov
eminent to its pristine purity, and as best
you may to promote the welfare and hap
piness Of your common country. Loud
applause.

A BUSINESS PROPOSITION

The efforts that are made from time
to time to give our readers new at
fractions cost money and we look to
them for the "wherewithaP. to defrav
these extra expenses. Notwithstand-
ing this has been a very dull year,
HE SENTINEL is to be congratulated
upon the promptness with which its
patrons have come forward and paid
their subscriptions. There are still a
few who have neglected this impor-
tant duty either from force of circum-
stances in some cases, and others from
force of habit. These readers are
just as warm friends of THE SENTI-
MEL as the more systematic ones, and
can at almost any time cancel their
arrears. 1t is our desire that all our
subscribers stand on the same footing,
and to bring auout this result, We
make the following offer:
We will peesent one of our hand
some Autograph crayons Of Governor
SCALES to every subscriber who be-
tween now and the 1st Of July pays
up to January 1st, 1887. We want
to begin the new year of 1887 With
clean books and we make this early
start to do it. After each account is
settled up to January 1st, it will be
no difficult matter for all Of our sub
scribers to make their annual payment
hencetorward as they become due. By
this adherance to business method, we
will be relieved Of the unpleasant task
of reminding our readers of their an
rears, and it vii. allow us to expend
more time and money and energy in
improving THE SENTINEL, and max
ing it even IA more popular newspaper
than its present increase in circulation
would justify us in believing it to be.

am old-fashioned enough to believe
that the New Testament is our guide
in all matters of faith and practice ;;
and according to that book the preach
er's work is to preach the gospel. By
sticking to his work he does the most
and best that he can for correcting
all the ills and evils of this present
life. 1t is his only weapon. When
ever he turns aside to other instru-
mentalities he weakens himself and
the cause.

LABOR is entitled to be the full and

that complexion it must come at last.
THE sENATE,s AUTHORITY.

1t has been ascertained that twenty
live members of the present United
States Senate represent a total ag-
gregate wealth of S165 100000.
These are not the style of statesmen
likely to promote legislation in the
interests OF labor and the people.
They are compelled at present by
force of circumstances to restrain
their spirit of aggression upon the in
interests of the masses, and hence so
tar as their utilization with the Repub-
lcan majority is concerned, they
have degenerated into mere public
nuisance of obstruction.
We must, however, do these lord
ships of the Senate the justice to add
that their influence in that body is
not exerted wholly in vain. In their
obstructive capacity they are demon
strating to the public mind in very
clear and conclusive reinsurance that
Inc authority by which the United
States Senate is permitted to continue
Its worse than useless existence should
be fired out of the Constitution of the
United States without mercy and
without delay.
The House delegations are amply
to represent both the States,
as such, and the people thereof, while !
the conditional veto of the President.
who is supposed to stand and act for
the whole country, is sufficient check
and bulwark against rash and incon-
siderate legislation
There is not single essential func-
ton of the Senate that may not with !
the utmost safety and propriety be
transferred to the House of Represent
atives.

MEMORIAL DAY AND JEFFERSON

the cause.

The people of the Southern States,
many of them, have graves which
they decorate, and surely the extrem-
est requirement of loyalty to the Uni
ted States government has never de-
manded that they should renounce
the affectionate memory of fathers and
kinsmen who fell in battle for the lost
cause. The brand of alleged patriot
ism put on exhibition at Albany, n.
Y, suggests that political cry is
wanted by some Republicans who
would make memory and free speech
a crime
Jefferson Davis represents no party.
In his ideas he at the utmost repre-
sents in the men OF the South the fact
that they say the secessionist doc
trine was honestly held and honestly
fought for, but all agree that there
was a final surrender. The persecut
ing spirit Of the Albany bloody-shirt-
ers is that people must not think, and
must not speak what they think.
Even liberal monarchy is more
tolerant. 1t will allow all to express
their opinion as to lost causes and con-
stitutional questions of the past, and
as to what form of government is
deemed best, provided they are not
trying to overthrow the existing gov
ernmen. Even Jefferson Davis,
though he is but the lingering per-
sonal monument of lost and vanish
ed cause, does not attack the Union.
Such Southern men as believe that
the confederate contention was theo-
retically correct, quite admit that the
United States government had been
so organized as to render the separate
States comparatively powerless. The
of powers is what finally |
counts. Whatever the construction |
the constitution-makers might have
put upon their work, it was done. The
government was the judge of its own
powers. 1t put down secession and
General LEES surrender ended all
thoughts of it. Since that time the
people have behaved them
5 Elves and have had neither intention
nor desire to secede. What more can
be asked of them?
JEFFERSON DAVIS is applauded
for his tributes to Southern bravery
and beauty and that is all there is
about the matter, except what politi-
,al capital can be made of his re-
marks by very hot heated or very
neanly partisan persons in the North
,rn States.

MARCO BOZZARIs was the author
OF "strikes." Hear him cheer his
strikers:
strike till the last armed foe expires:
Strike! for your affairs and your fires:
Strike for the green graves of your sires ::
Nod, and your native land p'
The only reason why MARCO did
not include strike for fewer hours
and bigger pay, was because he was
excited and didn't think of it. But
the boys are striking for those things
all the same.
