He enjoyed religion He loved the
church of God. The social and
prayer meetings had a strong place
in his life. The songs OF Zion were
sweet in sound and strong in inspir-
alton to him. He started up. the
hill OF God" was ascending Mount
Zion. And now, backslider in
heart, still a member of the church,
guilty of no outbreaking sin, he is
filled or satisfied by a reliance on
past experience.
He has cold, lifeless, memory of
his conversion. He can tell accur-
ately all about it. He can describe
the place, the time, the circum-
stances, what he experienced, who
was with him and who helped him
in his hour of struggle. He recalls
his vows, his tears, his enjoyment,
his early zeal. And so having such
knowledge of the way of life. he will
come back, in good time, by this
very experience. He is "fl!ed with
his own ways" A conscious back
slider, he goes on under the delu-
sion, that he is safe.
ANOTHER of@'his ways" is sub
stitution of one thing for another
of a false thing for the true. He
gives closer attention to outward
things; pays more literally &; more
careful of the poor; kind Of me-
chanical openness OF lace; hides the
emptiness and hollcwness of the
inner life, with smiling face and a
more cordial greeting of the world.
For tender loving spiritual service
to God, he gives the externals. No
man can buy or pay his way back to
Gods ways. ''The backslider in
heart shall be filled with his own
ways"

AFTER a CHIMFRA.

| Mr.. Allen Foote has started in to re-
form the abuses OF the pension system.
He has big job on hand, for the
abuses are illimitable and the abusers
are innumerable. To resist the over
whelming food OF pension raiders seems
as hopeless task as that assumed by
Mrs. Darlington, when she took her
broom to sweep back the incoming tide
Of the Atlantic ocean.
Mr.. Foote is himself veteran and a
| pension drawer, but he does not appear
to be hog. He says candidly that the
wound for which he gets a pension does
not disable him, and he has no need Of
a pension, and should not be allowed to
have one, One third OF the pensioners,
he says, are not entitled to government
aid, and another third do not need it.
The remaining third ought to have more
than they get. II the two classes OF
imposters were shut off, then the
really deserving and needful veterans
could be paid more than they are now
getting without increasing the pension
expenditures. 1t is to the work Of bring
ing about this reform-the cutting Off
of two-thirds of the pension drawers
that Mr.. Foote addresses himself.
1t is good object to strive for, but
the striving will be in vain. The fat
calf is the hardest to drive away from
the teat. The man who, uudeserving and
unneedful though he might have been,
worked and schemed and clamored IN
til be got on the pension rolls, is not
going to give up his spoils; and the
thousands of the same kind who hope
to get on the rolls are not going - let
up in their efforts, They are well or
ganized-those now getting pensions
and those who hope to get them-and
they are feared by politicians. 1t is
said that the pensioners and pension
applicants number more than seven
hundred thousand. The tremendous
political power OF so many voters, act
ing together with a common purpose in
view, and that purpose self-gain, can
not be resisted. No member of con-
gress in any Northern state dare stand
in the way of their demands. ItHould
mean political death and oblivion.
They will have their own way. The
pension list will be added to, and the
9DDrODriatiOnS will styell IN s11nb a
figure that at last the people will toll
crate the colossal fraud no longer.
Then there will be some hope that it
will stop. But that time is not yet
here, and Mr.. Foote's efforts will not
hasten it.

CATCH THE BIG FELLOWS.

1t is now in order for Republican or
gans and orators TO congratulate the
country on the speedy punishment in
fiicted on Bardsley. Philadelphia's de-
faulting cashier. They will, of course
indulge in a good deal of brag and
buster about the way they look after
their id rascal" If it affords them
such great pleasure to rejoice over the
downfall of one of their highfiers, no
one should quarrel with them for that.
Others will experience a sense Of salts
faction in knowing that another knaye
has got his deserts, but will not break
out in hallelujahs over it, and for very
good reasons that the organs and ora
tors aforesaid should think about before
singing peans over the fate Of Bardsley.
In the first place, the defaulter con-
fessed his guilt and threw himself on
the mercy of the court. What great
victory has been achieved in sentence
ing to the penitentiary for fifteen years
a trusted official who has made away
with a million dollars of public funds?
Is there anything in that to brag about?
What else could the court do but give
him term of years at hard labor? In
the next place Bardsley was not one
of the big fish. He was rather
on the common order. He was
not high in the councils OF his
party, and outside of his official
duties which required no great abili-
ties, was a small potato. The reckless
manner in which he squandered and
dissipated the funds entrusted to him.

DEMOCRACY AND TIE ALLIANCE.

When The GAZETTE writes in oppo-
sition to the sub-treasury and other
wild schemes of political and financial
quackery, ''the reform press" cries out
that THE GAZETTE is trying to dis
rupt the Alliance" When The GAZETTE
pleads for the farmer as the under
dog in this financial and tariff strug-
gle, the rabid Democratic organs cry
out that THE GAZETTE has gone over
to the Alliance sub-treasuryites." De-
mocracy is the party of the people.
This republic can not live with the
farmer degraded to the condition OF q
serf. Radical financial and tariff legis-
lation have gradually impoverished
and degraded the farmer. The farmer
is in revolt against conditions that op-
press. and quack have awaited them

life, and the American farmer must
be protected by American Democracy
against Republican class legislation
and against political charlatanry. The
Alliance is doing and has done a great
work in educating the farmer and
arousing him. True Democracy has
nothing to suffer or to fear from the
Alliance or from the politicasters who
have fastened themselves onto the Al
lance.
The Alliance has been and is an edu-
Gator, and it has taught the farmer Of
Kansas and Wisconsin, as well as the
farmer of South Carolina and Ten
nessee, to revolt against the conditions
resulting from Republican class legisla-
ton. Seeing the inevitable result of
Alliance education, political frauds and
Adventures have attached themselves

TIE snUru.S PROGEEss.

From ,Ianuary to July l, there were
built in all of the states and territories
OF the Union, 1909 miles Of railroad
The fourteen Southern states built 936
miles OF this total, leaving but 6113 miles
for the other thirty states and four
territories.
This is an evidence OF the real pros
perity OF the South that cannot be
coughed aside. Capitalists do not build
railroads for pastime. 1t is a costly
undertaking, and it is only done where
there is a demand for railroad business,
or where there is assurance that the
building Of the road will so develop the
country as to make business for it.
The Industrial supremacy Of she fut-
ure is with the South For seventy
years the political yapremecy of the
country iaytin the. htds Of the SOUTH,
but that is gone.t NE North and the
Northwest arg toy powerful, and can
dictate the pdicie of government. The
South c4n dp nothing against the
united sfenssh of these sections. But
the Sou4 l,ean win back what it lost by
the war5 Ehen it enters the field of in
dastriaseffort. Nature has been lavish
il theI fstowal of her bounties upon
this faNbred part OF the Union. 1t only
rests with man to utilize what is put to
his hand. That is what is now going
'on. The building of railroads, the es-
tablishing OF manufacturing plants, the
concentration Of energy, all tend to
this end. The close of the nineteenth
century will see the South in the sad
die, but the steed will be the iron
horse, and he will draw train Of
Southern-madc goods and wares.
