SATAN REBUKING SIN.

The Journal tries to squirm out
of the narrow-minded, bigoted and
selfish position In which it is placed
by not publishing Rev. Stones SER
mon in reply to Rev. Friend by
claiming that it was not in accord
with its code of ethics and admit
ting that its rule generally was to
only publish one side of a question.
We have long noticed that the
Jo"rndt pursued this policy, partic-
ularly on questions of a political
nature and it is only what is expect
ed OF the average radical sheet. 1t
claims that because we published
Rev. Stones sermon we should have
also given space to Rev. Friends.
but the cases are not similar and
the circumstances are entirely
different. Rev. Friend did not ask
us to publish his sermon and likely
would not have thanked us if we
had and in fact we had no means of
procuring it without copying from
the Journal, whereas Rev. Stone
came down here specially at the
urgent solicitations of his friends.
to see the Journal and get them to
publish his sermon in reply to Rev.
Friends, (which we claimed il should
have done after giving space to Rev.
Friends, but the Journal refused
point blank to do so. We did not
refuse to publish Rev. Friends, for
we had no opportunity to do so.
Rev. Stone then came to us and in
justice to him and his friends we
consented to give room to his SER
mons as we would have for Rev.
FRIEND or any one else under the
circumstances. Now we will leave
1T to the common sense of any one
II the Journal man is not squirting
and trying to crawl out of very
small hole. but lie can do that, he
can get through about the smallest
hole and pull it in after him of any
man on record. The Journal also
seems to think that we were apollo
giving for publishing sermon in a
democratic newspaper. 1t forgets
that We regurly published the SER
mons Of Rev. Talmage for a long
time and have published at least
four times as many sermons as the
JUurnal.

AN INSANE MISSIONARY.
Randall the Religious Crank Again
at Large.


Wednesday afternoon rather
clerical looking man walked up to
the county Jail and informed Tailor
Williams that he was missionary
from Washington, ID. c., and re-
quested permission to preach to the
prisoners confined in the Jail. One
of the unpleasant duties of Mr..
Williams Office is, that he is con-
stantly thrown with suspicious
characters, and for considerable
time he eyed the clerical looking
gentleman suspiciously before Civ
ing his consent to convert the Jail
INTO meeting house. Finally Mr..
Williams concluded that he was
either missionary or some great
Government detective and that in
either case it could do no harm to
let him mingle with the prisoners
and so announced his decision to
the missionary. The missionary
then requested that all the pris-
oners be brought to one cell and in
compliance with his request the
prisoners confined in the cells on
the second floor were all brought to
the large stone cell on the first floor
In which Ice is confined. The per-
tormance open with prayer, then
an old fashioned hymn, and then
the preacher preached loud and
long-another prayer, a hymn and
all was over. Now word about
this eminent divine. His name is
Edward Randall and IN the wear
1881 he was brought here from
Berkeley county and confined in the
Insane Asylum. The records at
the Hospital show that on the first
day of February, 1883, he was taken
out on bond. While here he came
into prominence by going around
the country and painting scriptural
texts on fences, large rocks, SC.
Report has it that he has been con
fined in worse places than an In
sane Asylum. Randall is a most
peculiar character and he is now
going around preaching to prisoners
confined in jails, penitentiaries, &c.
Weston Democrat.

KILLED BY A TRAIN.
Accident or Suicide. which,

A. A. Merrideth, formerly of
Ceredo, Richie Co., w. Va. but
now for a short time resident of
Cecil, Taylor Co., and who has
been attending the Seven Day Adj
yentist camp meeting at Newburp.
came to a tragical end at u o'clock
Tuesdey by being run over by a
train Of cars at that place. Some
OF the campers had collected at the
track to take the west bound accom-
mediation train. A freight train
was standing on the track. and
while some crossing over in the rear
OF the train, it is supposed that Mr..
Meuideth attempted TO pass be-
tween the cars, which were lust
starting, and fell, so that as the cars
passed on, his head was completely
severed from his body. Another
conjecture is that he deliberately
TOOK TINS means Of making away
with himself. The reason for this
conjecture is that Mr.. Merridetb
has had spells for fifteen years past
when bis mind has seemed TO be
seriously affected and failing health
and financial losses have caused him
TO grow worse and worse, 80 that he
has threatened 10 take his own life
several times. At one time he
thought Of borrowing a gum for this
purpose. lie has stood high i'm the
estimation Of the people, as a peace
agie' upright citizen In the places
where be lived. lie leaves q widow
and three children. who will have

The Republicans of Preston will
hold meetings at the respective
voting places in the county next
Saturday, August 10th, for the
purpose of electing delegates to the
State and Congressional Conven-
tons. To judge from the call of
the Committee, it would seem that
they expect to take the Convention
by main force, as there are only 121
to be elected or about one for every
20 voters in the county. This will
make up a big convention if none
OF the rest of the counties get there
and they will probably nominate
James A. Brown for Judge without
any other help. If the rest of the
State sends delegates in proportion
to the Banner County the conven-
ton will have to be held out in n
twenty acre field.

WHITE CAP VISIT.
A Resident or Maiden, Kanawha
County Favored.
July10 1890.


CHARLESTON, W. VA, Aug. o.
White Caps made the first visit ever
made in this vicinity to man living
at Maiden, six miles from here, last
night. The man, who left his wife
some time ago, has been living with
a woman who has separated from
her husband and whose character
has been questionable. The neigh
bors have for a long time felt very
indignant at his mode Of life, and
last night he was called during the
dark hours Of night to his door.
Hero he was met by a large party Of
men, wearing white masks, who
seized him, carried him some dis.
lance from home and gave him a
severe thrashing. After releasing
him they warned him to discontinue
hs mode of living and then disap-
peared. There was no clue by wi1b
the White Caps could be- identified

John McGinty, great levee build

levees in this State, died in New Or
leans on the 31st ult.
The Louisiana Journal, of Homer,
Claiborne parish, says: This parish
has received a number of immigrants
the present season. A number of
families from Arkansas have settled
in the Fomby neightoshood and
others have located in the vicinity of
Blackburn These are thrifty, ener-
getic farmers and will make good cit
izen and help build up the country.
The parish wants more immigrants of
this character, and we hope that those
who have come will be so well pleas
ed and make such favorable report
of the country that numbers of their
friends and neighbors will soon fol-
low. The parish has also received
some immigrants from the older
Southern States. An influx of healthy
Immigration would be of great advan-
tage TO the parish in many ways"
