Preachers and school teachers ought
10 watch themselves very ciosely. In
the first place they are apt To drift away
from the world and become. 70 use a
common phrase, cranky. But 4
ought to watch themselves chiefly be
cause nobody else ever watches them.
The world calls every other man to a
halt when he steps on their opinions;
but VIXEN these two do it they merely
smile and go on.
People speak of the days of miracles
being past. Why, the very pu.sation of
our heart is "a miracle. 1t took i've
thousand years of mans boosted pro
gress before he ever learned which way
the rivu!ets Of his own blood ran.
There is not a man living, unless he I've
a fool, who can look up in the starry
heavens at night and say, there i no
God"
How pitiable i the condition of that
man who knows no higher being than
himself How unenviable his feelings,
how deep his humiliation, when, having
put himself up as the chiefest Of all
works, ne finds himself on the ground
gruveIiug in his own error, and can
acknowledge no hand above MIN to lift
him ~.
The Union did not make war on
the South. The Union had nothing to
do with it. The South did not make
war on the Union. The South fought
political party and a political principle.
That party ensconced themselves in
the old home, ran up the old flag and
now claim that they are the heirs-at-law.
Don't let such sOphistry cause you to
neglect to put in a claim for the prodigal
sons share, anyway.

There is nothing in this campaign for
the Southern man-absolutely nothing
but the Force bill. The tariff and pen
sions are bankruptlng the country, but
the South can't help that. But when
we are bankrupted let us have the grim
satisfaction of knowing that our as
sIgnee will be a white man.

When you get mans sympathy you
have got his friendship. When you
have got woman's you better look out
if YOU wish to continue to be bachelor.

Most everybody will admit there is
very little in life worth living for, but
just let them get to the point where n
Doctor calls three times day and they
will think of great many things they
would hate to leave undone just then.

when the Devil was well,
The Devil II saint was he;
When the Devil was sick
The Devil Il saint would be-"

There is one thing TO our mind that
stands out clearer, palmer, stronger,
truer, as we grow older and learn more,
and that Is, that the future usefulness
and happiness of all our people and the
future glory and greatness of our entire
country, depend, not on its wealth or
the number OF it's men-of-war, or the
lists of its patents, but on how we bring
our children up in the two schOols-the
Bible and the day schools.
Carry the protection idea to its legiti-
mate conclusions, and suppose there
was a Carnegie in every large city of
the country, what would be the spec
tacIe? A standing army in every city
from Maine to Mexico to see that
American labor was forced to accept
such wages as the barons choose to give.
This Is protection.
If f'rick dies we DO not intend to ran
a half mast up over our roof. Not that
we sympathize with the killing; that
was wrong and cowardly; but because
we do not believe man can make three
of dollars out of his fellow
mans labor-wages, and possess all the
attributes to cause national mourning.

"The New York papers of yesterday
report that young Kaiser William
caught a whale ON the shores of Hol-
land which was "a feet long" He caught
one last year only five feet eight inches
long. His name was Bismarck and up
to date he has carried the young mans
harpoon and boat along with him.
The New York World says Grover
very perceptibly when, in the
midst Of his dignified acce ptance speech,
some fellow i'll the gallery yelled out
three cheers for baby Ruth" and the
welkin rang for few minutes. This
is deplorable. Ruth is destined to
knock the dignity out of this campaign.
Can't they get her big toe in her mouth
and keep her quiet?
~
1t is one of the strange things in life
that man may start out to fight the
world and will get beat every time.
But as soon as he gives up and gets it's
sympathy nothing can check his sue
cess.
