THE ROCKS ARE NEAR
Cleveland's Warning Of Politi-
cal Danger.
SOUTHERN SOCIETY DINNER


NEw York. Feb 22--The fourth annual
dinner OF the New York southern Society
tonight was largely attended. President
Calhoun. In his address, referred 10 the
loss The south he'd sustained in the death
Of jefferson Davis and Henry w. Grady.
and concluded: Let US seek 10 win the
admiration of the people OF the North by
our devotion to the Union and intense love
for every section Of our common country. !"
The principal speaker OF the evening was
ex-President Cleveland. who responded 10
the toast. Birthday OF George Washing
ton" In introducing him, Mr.. Calhoun
spoke briefly OF Mr.. Cleveland's political
character, saying In conclusion that
since the expiration Of his term he has
lived among rs. the most unassuming
OF citizens, but bearing with him con-
stantly, in the incomings and outgoings OF
his daily life. the respect and confidence
and love Of the people over whom he pre-
sided in manner and to IN extent never
eqaalled since the days Of Washington
himself.
When Mr.. Cleveland rose he was greeted
with great applause.
Mr.. Cleveland said that the statement
that We have too few holidays Il perhaps
true. 1t would be strange, indeed. II this
day should ever be neglected by
our fellow countrymen. We certainly need
at least one day on which Ne should
recall to our own minds the truth that the
price Of our own country was unseifish
labor and sacrifice; that men fought and
suffered that We might be free. and that
love and American brotherhood are neces-
sary elements to full and continued enjoy
ment Of American freedom. prosperity and
happiness.
"There il danger that We may grow
hopeless of the fact that our ins,i utions
our due to . precious legacy which, TOR
their own sake. should ne jsalously watched
and guarded; and there is danger that the
condition may induce sslfishness and
sordidness followed by an idea that patriot
ism and morality have no place In state
craft, and that political career may be
entered upon like any other trade for
private profit and advantage.
This is a frightful departure from the
doctrines on which our institutions rest,
and surely it is the extreme OF folly to
hope that our schcme Of government will
effect its purpose and intent when every
condition Of its birth and life Il neglected. !"
Mr.. Cleveland drew attention to these
words OF George Washington: ut is sub
stantiaily true that virtue or morality is
the necessary spring of popular govern
ment." and added: "When did We out
grow these sentimental Let US be sober
and thoughtful, and II We find these things
have lost their hold on our minds and
hearts, let US take soundings. for the rocks
are near
John Temple Graves. of Rome. Ga, made
m eloquent address in which he said the
problems OF our government will be solved
when the people TO throb with fervor at
the sight of the flag and to shout with pa
triotism at the sound Of the national air.
The war, he said. was inevitable, but both
the South and North are better for 1t and
the Union is mightier in every way.

Fined rour Dollars Each for Dauaeing
Property.
TREsroS, No., Feb. 22.-Ths jury today
adjudged the spickardsville crusaders
guilty and fixed fine OF IS
and costs on each case. A
great crowd attended court and consider
able excitement prevailed. The point
raised by the defense that the destruction
OF saloon was in the nature of an
abatement OF public nuisance
Was overruled by Judge Shankin who held
that private parties could not abate pub
lie nuisance except in contingency of their
infringement of individual rights.
This was crushing blow TO the defense,
and they introduced no witnesses in oppo-
siuon 70 the state. Witnesses for state
were very reluctant. and one Of them
blamed he had been threatened with q
boycott on his business should he testify
against the crusaders.
Then there was q tilt between the attor.
neys for the state and defense and
fight was imminent for q few mo-
ments. Finally order was restored
and the attorney proceeded He said the
ladies' had taken the Law into their hands
because one boy had been found in
saloon.
Ida F. Barr. district organizer of the W.
c. T. u, sprang to her feet and exclaimed,
"God save us.n
"God save that woman" retorted
knight. "She's got fits"
This created more excitement, and il
was several minutes before quiet was re-
stored.
The defense submitted the case without
argument, and when the verdict was
brought in gave notice of appeal.
