Moab that made Orpah leave her sis
ter and mother-m-law. She doubt
less had dread of the hardship to
which they would be exposed on the
journey to Bethlehem; and Orpah
was not alone in the fear. Doubtless
some of you have been appalled, and
driven back by the self-denials of the
christian life. The aunt of the world
the charge of hypocrisy which they
would sometimes be obliged to con-
front, has kept many away from the
land of Bethlehem. They spend
their life in counting the cost and,
because Il christian life demands SO
much courage and faith, they dare
not begin to build Perhaps they
are courageous III every other res
pect. They arc not timid III presence
of any danger except that of trusting
i'll the infinite mercy of Christ. The
sheep are moro afraid of the shep-
herd than of the wolves. They shrink
away from tho presence Of Christ as
though He were tryant rather than
Il friend who sticketh closer than
brother. They feel more safe in tho
ranks of the enemy, where they must
suffer infinite defeat, than in the
army of Christ, which shall be moro
than conqucrors, through him that
hath loved them. Men SILVER and

they were commanded to throw their
life away, rs though it were u sur.
render of honor and manliness, and
reason and selfrespcct, and all that
IS worth keeping.
What has God ever done that His
mercy should be doubted! Was
there ever Il sorrow Of His frailest
child that He did not pity! Was
there ever Il soul that He left unhelp-
eel in the darkness? Was there ever
Il martyr that He did not strengthen

all the skies dark md storm. swept?
L. life all sickness! Is the nir all

and scorpions and furnaces! God
knew how many suspicious and un-

to him and therefore, after making Il
multitude of plain and precious

Tobacco Culture In North Carolina.

AS an evidence of how the culture
of toba eco has increased in Nash
county, n. c., where the culture was
introduced in 1891, q local paper
states that one thousand tobacco
barns have already been erected in
that county, and that many more will
be erected before the crop natures.
Many of the farmers of that section
have cleared from $500 to $4OO IN
acre on their tobacco, figures which
are rarely ever eQualed anywhere.

How Ex-COngrcSsmnn SmallS, MillCr and
Cunningham Wore Treated by wanama-
ker.
WAsnlNGToN, June 26.-Postmastcr
General Wanamakcr is saidnot to be
making many friends for the admin
istration among tho colorcd people
The colorcd politicians who come
here from the Southern States arc
particularly displcased with Mr..
Wanalnalicr and accuse :.:!r Of gross
incivility towards them OH n.Il. "Ol1s
occasions. A few days ago thr,,
South Carolian Republicans, one
white and two colorcd, called ut the
Postofficc Department to consult
Mr.. Wanamakcr on the subject of
changing the Democratic postmaster
at Charleston in favor of colorcd
Republican. Tho South Carolina
trio consisted of cx-Congressman
Bob Smalls, now Collector Of Gus
toms at Beaufort; Tom Miller, con-
tcstant for Congressman elliott S
seat in Congress from the Seventh
South Carolina District, and United
States Marshal Cunningham, one of
the wcalthicst and most popular
white Republicans in South Carolina.
Miller was little shy about calling
upon the Postmaster General be-
cause of former experiences. How
ever, Smalls insisted it was desirable
that they should make an effort in
behalf of their colored brother, Crum
who is an applicant for the Charles
ton postmaStcrshlp
Arriving at the door leading to Mr..
Wanamakcr's Office, they were i'll
formed they must send in their cards
before obtaining admission to the in
ner chamber. This was resented in
lively terms by Smalls. In spite of
protests, however, he and his com
panions were obliged to cool their
heels in the hallway for more than
half an hour. Finally Mr.. Wanama
ker appeared at the doorway of his
Office, and the South Carolina con
tingent arose, expecting to be invited
to "walll into my parlor." In this
they werc disappointed, for MIR. Wan
amaker stood directly in the door,
way, and informed his callers that
they might unburden themselves
then and there. Miller promptly re-
marked that he had no business with
the Postmaster-G General, and was
there simply to accommodate his
friend Smalls. Tho lattor managed
to stammer out something about tho
| Charleston poStof1ice, but was chok
ed off with an emphatic declaration
that the present postmaster is con
Quoting the affairs of that Office in
manner highly satisfactory to tn,
business people Of Charleston, and ;
change at this timc is not dccmct
advisable. Smalls WAS disposed t,
argue the question, but Mr. Wana
maker cut him short by intimatins
that if he did not like tho ruling O
the Postotficc Department on this
subject he might appeal to the Pres
ident. Overcome with rage and NOR
tifcation, Smalls and his companions
withdrew, the former vowing that he
would go directly to the President
and complain of Wanamakcr's treat
ment. Miller who is more liplo
matte because of hrs pending contest
suggested that the President would
probably sustain the action of the
Postmaster General, and in that
event a trip to the White House
would simply be n double -barrclcd
rebuff Miller therefore declined
to call upon the Prcsident.-Balti
moro Sun.

a Move Against Chairman Bricc.

New York, Juno 25.-Thcro are
hints that some influential persons
think that Senator Calvin S. Brice
would do well to resign his Office of
Chairman Of the Democratic National
Committee, and that such n move
would be of considerable advantage
to the party at large. His railroad
ana other financial connections and
his lukewarm tariff sentiments arc
given as the reason for making q
change desirable. The position of
head of the committee is no sinecrre.
and it may be rather difficult to get
any one to fill Mr.. Brice's place.
While nominally favorable to Mr..
Clevcland's renomination and re-olec-
ton, he has been accused of really
favoring the nomination of cx-Secre-
tary William G. Whitney, although
that gentleman has over and over
again stated his refusal to be q can
didatc. Taken with other early indi-
cations of the campaign, such con-
troversy would seem ripe to add a now
complication homany now surround
ing the Democratic situation here.

ALLOTMENT.

NlAEIAs l. T. nov :. ~
As several have expressed them
selves on the question Of allotment
allow me q few words. / do not
desire to criticise or antagonize
any one. When We speak Of the
question, the sale Of the outlet
naturally arises. l see no valid
reason to be afraid of the govern
ment (simply take any portion of
our lands by force) as our title has
been established and confirmed
BY several decisions Of the su-
preme court of the United States,
viz: in the North Carolina case,
the Joy, the Santa Fe railroad and
tive or :hree others. After care
full consideration we are compelled
70 admit that the United States has
the right of eminent domain.
Then, the moment we dispose OF
the outlet. we dispense with the
Cherokee nation, for where are we
to replenish an empty treasury
frOm2 In all justice, the United
States cannot keep US from leasing
the strip any more than she can
from renting our farms. The gov
ernment is simply trying to force
US into a sale and if we viii stand
firm and refuse to sell the storm
viii soon pass and we viii be in a
better condition than ever. /
think some of US should show a
little more love of country and less
of money. Our forefathers show
ed their desire to perpetuate their
nationality by refusing to take the
money for their homes in Georgia
and living in ease, but deposited
il as a perpetual fund 30 maintain
the Cherokee government from
that time on, free Of any direct
burden on the people.
Respectfully,
