Does n Man Hate Himself.

[ cannot think that man can really hate
himself, although we occasionally hear a
man say that he hates himself for some
folly, or that he feels like going into some
dark corner and kicking himself for his lack
of wisdom or want of foresight in relation
to some of his affairs. But L think it is i'm
possible for a man to entertain feeling of
real hatred for himself on account of any
thing he has done contrary to the laws of
his country or on account of the estimate
which society has placed upon him as
man and gentleman. Hate is too strong
a word; it conveys too intense meaning
and some other word ought to be substituted
therefor. often wish that mankind could
dwell together in peace and happiness SO
that we would have no use for that vinGic-
tive verb hate or any of its synonyms. A
man can be displeased with himself when
he sees that he has acted hastily in some
transaction, lost control of his temper or
when an accident has befallen him through
want of circumspection or foresight, or
when he has neglected to take advantage of
his opportunities; and he can sincerely re-
groC wrong uOlng, OUT tllat IS not natlnS
himself. A convict may regret his forget
fulness or defiance of the law: he may weep
over his folly, curse his wickedneSS or even
be possessed of a desperate recklessneSs and
show nothing but the worst side of his nat
ure. but such actions are not the result
of a self-hatred. but are due to the utter
despair he no doubt feels over the opin-
ions of the public concerning him, the
hOpelessness of his situation or perhaps un-
charitable treatment. That faculty of the
mind yclept conscience was surely not
given us with the intent of causing us to
hate ourselves, and l think convict's
taciturnity, his seeming incOrrigiblity, his
recklessness and indifference to his fate are
but the manifestations of the workings of
conscience instead of violent dislike to
himself, and think that such feelings can
be driven out and replaced by new and bet
ter ones, by kind, judicious treatment and
the right sort of encouragement. A man
who really hates another has a mind full of
wicked, murderous thoughts and is con-
stantly conspiring to do him injury, and
from that fact draw the conclusion that
man cannot hate himself for he never does
anything for which he knows he will be
punished for the express purpose of inf1ict-
ing torture on himself or doing himself an

Did any of our freo trade orgaDs
around here advocate free sugar last
year2 Not much. Here is one Of the
chief necessaries of life which we
have to buy abroad because we have
ct home only a small sugar planting
industry that can't supply one tenth
of the home demand. But this little
local industry happens to be located in
Louisiana where the democrats are for
protection to their 800 sugar planters.
And to save the electoral vote of that
state the democrats in congress vigor-
ously opposed the republican PROPOSE
ton for reducing the sugar duties.
They went in strong for free wool,
though, and free salt, free lumber. free
vegetables, etc. And there wasn't a
democrat paper in this neck o. the
woods that dared to peep word
against the Mills bill monstrosity.

said: Il do not intend to raise the question of

No commission has been issued for the post
office referred to (Columbia), and the Senator
has been notified that I will be glad to hear
anything he wishes to present regar ding the ap-

issued he had telegraphed him that they will
be held to allow him the opportunity Of saying
anything on the subject that he desires. The
