HE WAS a KLABPWENEK,
The Awful Death Of a Follower Of Sam

Victoria, fTcxas), Advocate.
People should take warning and not say too
many nice things about San, Jones. There is
danger in it, The Gainesville Currant Amer.
lean has the following in recent issue, from
Nacoma, Kansas:
The village was thrown into state OF ex-
cltelnent yesterday by al occurrence which has
no parallel i'll point OF mystification and sensa-
ton. Yesterday mornings service in the
Methodist church was largely attended, and
the pulpit was occupied by Rev. j. w. Ward,
who is a great admrer Of Rev. Sam Jones, the
evangelist. During the course of his sermon
Rev. Ward took occasion to extol Mr.. Jones in
such terms as to cause alarm to his members
as he wrought himself up in a frenzy OF excite
mcnt. He declared that it would give him the
profoundest pleasure to see those who are ridi-
cuilnS Sam Jones consigned to q literal hell
where they would siZzle and burn throughout
eternity. and that he would rather believe God
is a lie, than Sam Jones had not accomplished
even more for the good of mankind than Jesus
Christ. He carried on i'll blasphemOus man.
ncr some time, when he brought the thing to a
sudden climax by standing on his tiptoes,
stretching his right hand toward Heaven with
index tiuger pointed into space. and with de-
monlacle laugh, said vehemently:
:. declare from this pulpit to this people and
all the world that Rev. Sam Jones is pre-emi-
nent when compared to Jesus Christ and in ev-
idcDce of this belief call upon God to paralyze
Inc here and now if it is not so.'
Scarcely had the words died on his lips, when
he became rigid and ghastly palor owe rspread
his countenance, his hand remained pointing
to the ceiling.
CONSERVATION which seized the audience is
not within the scope of human Imagination,
much less within the power of human pen to
describe, for there stood man, the monument
of the wrath of Almighty, for he died to evoke
q display of his infinite power. Strong men
trembling approached him and when they laid
hold of hun they found 1t impossible to move
him.

The Newly Appointed Chief Justice of

| may be that, VIC areanot up in juri-
dical history, and the lives of great men

solcmnlty OF dignified and veracious
journalism, that we had never heard of
any distinction ever won by f. T. Mich
oils as a lawyer. Ono Of the poets has
told MS that men become great in three
ways. Some achieve it, others inherit
it, and some have it thrust upon them,
Where is the democracy in this appoint
ment ?
Some doings look queer to the eye.
When Gov. Nichols went into office,
Gov. S. ID. McEnery went on the Su
preme bench, now, Gov. Foster goes i'll
to the Executive chair and ex-Goy.
Nichols becomes Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court. On this plan of reci-
procating favors, don't it look like the
Governors are going to run two co-or-
dlnate departments of the State Gov
crnmcDt, without caring to know what
the democracy thinks of it Z? Don't it
seem that we are focalizng power.

ATTACKING THE BOUNTY.
A Dangerous Scheme Indeed.

N. O. City Itcm
Washington, May 2l.-[ Specialize,
some days it has been whispered around
that the opponents of the sugar bounty
were about to attack it in an nblique but
dangerous form. When the Legislative
and Executi We appropriation bill comes
up determined effort is to be made to
strike out the appropriation for execut-
ing the provisions OF the law. This, of
course, would put an etfectual stoppage
to payment Hereunder.
Congressman Boatner, who realizes
full we'll how dangerously the whole
State would be affected by so severe a
blow at her great sugar industry, was
asked for information regarding the re-
port He said: ;" | have heard of it and
in way that convinces me the effort
will be made to thus obstruct the ope-
rations of the law but | hone and be-
lle7e we will be able to defeat this
move.n
Every influence that Louisiana can
control should be exerted against this
dangerous scheme, and every Louisiana
sentinel should be at his post.
