But not SO well does Darius the king
sleep. He loves Daniel, and hates this
stratagen by which lie has been con
demned. All night long the king walks
the floor, He cannot sleep. 1t the
least sound he starts and his flesh
creeps with horror. He is impatient
for the dawning of the morning. At
the first streak OF the daylight Darius
hastens forth TO see the fate of Daniel
The heavy palace doors open and cla4g
shut longsbefore the people of the eli ~
waken Darius goes to the den of ii
ons; he looks in All is silent His
heart stops He feels that the very
worst has happened; but gathering all
his strength he shouts through the rif Is
of the rock, 20 Daniel is the God
whom thou serveSt continually able to
deliver thee2" There comes rolling up
from the deep darkness q voice which
says: 20 king live forever. Ny God
has sent his angel to shut the lions
mouths that they have not hurt me. :
Then Daniel is brought out from the
den. The demasogues are hurled into
it. and no sooner have they struck the
bottom of the den than their flesh was
rent. and their bones cracked, and their
blood spurted through the riffs OF the
rock. and rs the lions make the rocks
tremble with their roar they announce
to all ages that while God will defend
his people the way of the ungodly shall
perish.

Il learn also from my subject that
men may take religion into their
worldly business. Daniel had enough
work to do to occupy six men. All the
affairs of state were in his hands
questions of finance, questions of war,
OF peace, all international questions
were for his settlement or adjustment.
He must have had correspondence
vast beyond all computation. There
was not man in all the earth who
had more to do than Daniel, the secre
tary of state, and yet we find him three
tilres day bowling before God in
prayer. There are men in our day
who have not hundredth part Of
Daniels engagements who say they
are too busy to be religious. They
have an idea somehow that religion
will spoil their worldly occupation,
that it will trip the accountants pen,
or dull the carpenters saw, Of confuse
the lawyers brief, or disarange the
merchants store shelf.

HORSE THIEVES.

At the German Methodist church
out on the BRENNAN and Indepen-
dence road Sunday night some one
stole the saddle of Jacob Spross,
and then got a horse from Mr.
Hondos pasture near by. The
horse belonged to a young man
whose name was not learned, that
lives below here, and while in town
Monday he saw a negro on his horse
and was so elated that when he
made the negro dismount and sur
render the horse he forgot to have
him arrested.
There was anothar horse missing
from the same pasture Wednesday
morning, supposed to have been
stolen Tuesday night, which be-
longed to Mr.. Spross.
1t was supposed the reason they
preferred the horsesIin the pasture to
those at the church those in the pas
ture would not be missed until they
had time to make good their escape.

RORDER POLITICS,

Away down in Webb where the
Mexican and American Eagle can sit
on their respective perches and shy
cactus fruit at each other across the
Rio Bravo, they are having nice
little political squabble as to what
constitutes Democracy. The chair
man of the Democratic Executive
Committee, Judge Rodriguez, re-
fuses to call convention or mass
meeting, the little ring" there per-
haps having already come to an un-
Outstanding as to who shall have the
offices for the ensuing terms. 1t is
said that about half dozen men
meet at the parlor of a "boss' in
Laredo and name officers year in and
year out and that then they call it
Democracy. However there is com.
ing time that this little ring, will
have its heretofore almost unlimited
power wrested from it. The people
are rising, the ''Gate City" is exposing
the rings political tactics" and as q
result, radical change for the better
may be looked for there, in the
near future.

the straighouts have declined to put
a ticket in the field, their calcula-
tons in that direction miscarried,
and they now talk of nominating a
straight republican ticket and rely
upon the dissentions in the demo
cratic ranks for its success. In this
move they will select the very best
men they have for their nominees
men known to be both honest and
capable, Notwithstanding their re-
MISUNDERSTANDING that such a
ticket will stand reasonable show
of success.
This, is, indeed, a bad state of af-
fairs, if as represented by the spec
iaI dispatches from that state; how
ever, the BANNER is 10th to believe
that such is the case, and can but
feel that the dissention in the demo
cratic ranks in South Carolina is not
so great as represented; and, that
the few dissenting straightouts'
will ere long see the error of their
way and rally to the support of Till
man and white supremacy.
The nomination of a republican
State ticket cannot, in the opinion
of the Times-Democrat. endanger
democratic success in South Caro-
lima as long as there is but one dem
ocratic ticket in the field, there be,
ing no serious split in the party
ranks, yet is deprecable to see dem
Iocratic division, no matter how
small, and the revival of the republi-
can party, which for more than
ten years have had no State ticket
in the field in that State, their polit-
ical prospects being regarded too
poor to even make nominations.
The quarrel between the straight
outs and the Tillmanites, although
il fortunately did not go to ex,
tremes, succeeded in reviving the re-
publican party, which is, of itself, a
sufficient warming to the white PEG
pie of the South to avoid divisions
and dissentions in their ranks.

DESERTED.

The staff correspondent of the
Houston Post, down at San Antonio,
airs the views of an alleged promin-
ent democrat of Austin, who claims
to be 'last-ditcher," and to have
always voted the Democratic ticket,
who says that he will not vote for
Hogg or the commission, for the
reason that Gen. Hogg is not the
party nominee any more than he is.
1t is no wonder that he refuses to
reveal his identity. A man with the
gall. to stand up before the public
and assert, that Hogg was not the
Democratic nominee in the face of
his unprecedented following in a
Democratic State convention, would
indeed distinguish himself as fool,
his future assertions meriting the
contempt with which they would be
regarded. As long as he is not
known he may escape the ridicule
that the assertion, made over his
own signature, would have cost him.
but the Democratic party can afford
to loose any such Democrat, though
he was old as Matheusalah and had
always voted the ticket.

soUTB CAROLINA POLITICS.

The dissentions in the ranks OF
the democracy of South Carolina, it
seems, has emboldened the republi-
cans to such an extent as to cause
them to seriously mediate the in
tention of placing a straight republi-
can ticket in the field. Their first
intention, however, was to throw
their strength to the support OF
some straightout democrat, thereby
intensifying the bitterness between
the two warning factories; but, as

seen that every Southern State ex-

likely that the basis will be increased

The Savannah (Ga.) News contains
the following very truthful para
graph, which the BANNER fully en-
dorses: policemen should not be
permitted to drink intoxicating
liquors while on duty, and men who
drink to excess, however infrequent-
ly, should not be taken on the police
force or restained upon it when
their weakness is discovered. They
may be worthy men, but they are
not fit to be policemen. Those who
have the lives and property of citi-
zens in their keeping should at all
times have clear heads in order to
be able not only to see their duty,
but also act promptly when there
services are needed.
