was!put in charge of another soldier in
blue with instructions to show me
through heaven and bring me back in
an hour, for I was suspect. The place
was beautiful beyond all conception,
and forgot myselfin a delirium Of Joy
and wonder at what I saw. Every
thing and everybody was dressed in
blue. There were thousands of them
froficking and sporting, and I observed
that the favorite game was football,
which was played with skulls. I sup
posed they were the skulls of lost sin
ners, but my guide informed me they
were the skulls of the rebels that were
killed in the war. For the first time I
began to realize that rebellion was the
objectionable sin, and that I, too,' was
among the lost. Suddenly I heard the
booming Of cannon and the terrific eX-
plosion of musketry in the distance,
and my guide, seeing my alarm, told
NE it was only sham battle; that it
was favorite sport to fight over the
great battles, such as Gettysburg and
Petersburg and Vicksburg and Fort
Donaldson. l inquired whether they
ever fought over the battles of Manas-
sas and Chickamauga and Chancellors-
vile and Gaines Mill. He replied
that he thought not-he didn't remem-
Der any such battles. Strangely be-
wildered, I turned to my guide and
said, "My friend, tell me, is this
heaven?" EYES," said he; "this is the
G.. A. R. heaven-the heaven of the
Grand Army; but St. Peter has little
annex over yonder. Grant is over
there and Lincoln and Lee and Stone
wall Jackson and many others. Grant
was in here for few days, but he kept
on saying, Boys, let us have peace ,
and so we fired him out"
By this time we had returned to the
gate and I said to the sentries: "1s
there not another gate somewhere that
Lean enter and see st. Peters and
Grant ntand Lee and StonewallJackson?"
"Oh, you are for peace, too, are you?"
said they, and with that they gave me
kick and such a thrust in the side
that it awakened me and to my great
joy I found myself in the land of the
living where peace may be sought and
pardon found Notwithstanding my re-
bellion. Now, my friends, please tell
me where is Josephm
The newspaper men were there, of
course. They saw the point and joined
in the cheering, and many crowded
around Mr.. Richards and congratulated
him and gave three cheers for the rebel
who was elected from heaven in a
dream. -. - BILL. ARP

At the Head of Democracy.
From the Atlanta Constitution.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
The one leading Democrat who seems
to he taking an active and personal in
terest in the political situation and its
possibilities is governor David Bennett
Hill of New York.
The fact is encouraging, for not even
Mr.. Tilden, as famed as he was for
dealing with the practical side of poll
tics, possessed in greater degree the
faculty Of organization. Recently,
when there was danger of discord in
the party in New York city and trouble
brewing III some Of the Congressional
districts, Governor Hill went to the
metropolis, called the party leaders and
the disatTected Democrats together,
smoothcd over the troubles, restored
harmony, and arranged for a Demo-
cratic victory in the city.
We say, therefore, that is encourag-
ing when a Democrat is sincere and as
successful as Governor Hill takes the
field. 1t is an example that may we'll
be followed at this time by other lead
ing Democrats.
Turn his attention first to Ohio, Gov
ernor Hill will make five speeches in
that State. The Democrats of other
States will be glad to know that he is
going there, and that ne is willing to
go wherever his presence and his coun-
sci Can aid the Democratic party.
Governor Hill is a leader who knows
nothing Of defeat.

The Result of the Silver Bill.

The Bevier Appeal goes for The Silver
bill in the following manner:
The new silver law which the people
were led to believe Of great benefit to
them, has proven to Oe 4 miserable fail
ure. Under the workings the supply
of money in circulation has diminished
rather than increased and the people
are more than ever at the mercy OF
Wall street. Since it went into effect,
the Secretary Of the Treasury has been
appealed to relieve the stringency IN
the money market and he to relieve it,
has purchased S4O,oO0,09o. United
States bonds paying nearly S2,OoO,oV9
of premium OF them.
But large number Of the people,
however, have not been ut all diSap-
pointed at the WY the law works. IN
fact they expected nothing better Of 1t,
knowing that Congress conposeu
mostly Of national bankers would not
knowingly let any measures become a
law that would afford relief to the peo-
pie. The people need not expect that
the financial question will be eQuitabiy
settled while the majority Of our repre-
sentatives ut Washington are Interested
n keeping things as they are.

A Serious Question for Republicans
From the Albany Times.

The simple question is whether there
is fairness and honest dealing enough
in Congress to order a new and full
count Of the first city in America,
which is admitted to be largely opposed
in politics to the ruling majority in
publican party will be taking a very
great risk indeed to 90 to the people
upon the issue ef the right to overlook
almost POO, 900 citizensin one city. There
can be no moral doubt that that num-
Der was overlooked in New York,
either through negligence or wicked
intent. And shall Il correction be re-
fused Of so palpabIe an error? Can they
afford a refusal?

WANTS NEGRO VOTES.
Judge Haskcll's Reply TO r. II. Charles
Le:tcr-A 30; Campaign.

CHARLESTON, :. G., Oct. Pr. \.
Charles, of Darlington county, recently
addressed an open letter through the
News and Courier to Judge Haskell,
anti-Tillman candidate for governor,
asking him to answer publicly this in
Quiry:
"Do you rest your prospect OF cleo
ton solely on the white Democratic
vote, or do you and your friends intend
to supplement your present following
by an appeal to the Republican or ne
gro vote and to the machinery of the
election laws?'
WANTS TIE NEGRO VOTE.
The News and Courier will publish
tomorrow Judge uaskeli's answer, in
which he says:
Yes, weask for the vote, not only Of
every white Democrat, but Of every
colored Democrat, and every white or
colored Republican entitled under the
laws ofthis State to vote. We ask them
to vote for us because we believe that
our ticket is composed of men who
earnestly desire good government, aud
who will, to the best of their ability,
administer for the good of the whole
people, in obedience to the pledges put
forth in the platform and utterances Of
the Democratic party established in
1876. On the other hand, we advise all
citizens, without regard to party and
race, to vote against the Tillman party,
which has repudiated, overthrown and
trampled under foot those solemn
pledges which should bind every Dem
ocrat in this State, and which are
essential alike to the welfare and pros
perity of either and both races.
GETTING HOTTER.
The campaign is getting hotter every
day.
Capt. Tillman said to-day that he eX-
pected to he governor if there was fair
election. The Haskell party claim that
they are getting strength.
The negroes are keeping very quiet.
THE EsENTIMENTIN sPAKTANBURG.
SPARTANBURG, S. c., Oct. 23.-It is
an exceedingly hard matter to gauge
the public sentiment in this section as
to the Haskell movement. The party
does not make much show Of numeri-
cal strength here, but all talk Of it as
amounting to nothing and any slight
ing comment would seem to be GER
tainly a mistake. The movement ap-
peals to the Wis inertia of a large class
of citizens, who, while they acknow-
ledge. q sufficient obligation Of party
fealty to restrain them from any active
opposition to the regular nominees,
yet feel such an aversion. to Tillman
and his methods that they will stay
away from the polls on election day.
MEN ARE ENON-CQMMITTAL.
One repeateatedly meetsa man whom
he supposed to be regular who, in casu-
al conversation, will drop some such
remark as the following: II am not
saying much, and I don't propose to
commit myself yet, but don't care if
Haskell is elected" The signs of the
time point to a strong probability that
very many Democratic votes will not
be polled on election day. If the
Haskellites should make any trade with
the negro vote they would be doing all
in their power to soldify the regular
Democratic vote against themselves.
The Haskell leaders have been wise to
avoid any such coalition.

This is trait acknowledgement that
all that has ever been written is of no
service in this line, and implies strong
inference that whatever may be written

What Becomes of the Money.

Editorial in Atlanta Constitution.
The enormous sums received bv the
goverment-amounting to over four
hundred and fifty million dollars from
internal revenue and nearly as much
from customhouse receipts, and other
sources, shows that nearly two-thirds
of the currency passes through the
federal treasury every year. In fact,
we may say that the currency of this
country is annually collected and dis
tributed by the government. It does
not matter what happens to trade, TO
business or to individual enterprises,
whether large or small. This process
Of grinding goes on from year to year.
One hundred million is paid out an
Asnually to the soldiers for pensions.

paying crow. Yolne!s dispensed by
congress to%ssst t. na1sses> except the far
mer. To use "a very common phrase,
be gets the goose.
When we conside: that, it requires
more than the aggresste amount OF
the circulating medium:bf the country
to move the crops Of the country-and
that be has to wait until all this money
passes through the treasury of the
United States, and that then the spec
ulator, who stands between the NOV
ing of the crops and the treasury, is
to be satisfied before there is anything
left for the farmer, we need no longer
wonder at the scarcity of money where
it is most needed by the farmer.
The law is so arranged that he cam
not get dollar of all this money from
the government without parting with
the produce he has raised. He is pro-
hibited from borrowing money Oh his
land. If the speculator gets into trou-
bic by reason of tight money, the gov
ernment is ready to pay him $50, ,O1O,-
900 in money, in premiums, on his
bonds, or III anticipation Of interest.
But the farmer must part wi. his
crop, at the price fixed by some one
else, and if it is half what it cost him
to make it, it has to go-and there is
no help for it.
Who can call to mind single in
stance where our congress or the pres
ident. or the secretary of the treasury.
any of them, have made q single move
to financially relieve the farmer.
Speeches and appeals are made daily
to pay pensions, to silence commerce,
to help manufactures, to keep up the
army and navy and for the relief Of the
bondholder or the banks. All the
farmer gets is empty promises made on
the stump just before elections.
And yet the annual product from the
farms of the United States is the
source of all our wealth, and but for
what they furnish the whole govern
ment would collapse in a short time.
These are facts, and fine-srun theories
may be written or spoken, but these
facts cannot be wiped cut.
Whatever else is done with our
money the farmers have but q poor
showing at it, and hence have but lit
