The Downfall Of Nations.

The Downfall OF Nations
It is hard to conceive of such q
thing as a great civilized. christian
lied nation like the United States ever
falling like other nations of the world
have done. No citizen OF this coun-
try, wants to believe that such ca
lamity will ever befall this nation.
No fond parents want to believe that
their vigorous son or daughter, will
die at a premature age. but if the laws
OF nature are persistenty disobeyed
and physical conditions which invari-
ably terminate human life are reached.
the life Of that promising son or beau
tiSar daughter will go out just as that
of other human beings had gone un-
der similar conditions.
The wise person profits by the ex-
perience of others; avoids their mis-.
takes and shuns the conditions that
wrought their downfall in any re-
spect. So should nations do. The
causes that lead to the fall of other
nations. if found working in our own
should be speedily removed; the germs
Of decay should be destroyed before
they prey upon the vitals OF our ma
ton.
The French historian. DE Iocque-
vile. after an exhaustive search for
the causes of the downfalls of ma
tons formulated what is known as
the Law of National Decline" which
gives seven causes. The first and
primary cause is the concentration OF
wealth in the hands of few. Prs.
vent this and continued progress is
assured. Permit It without Interrupt
ton and national decay is inevitable.
According to this historian the first
/. thing that follows concentration of
wealth is comparative increase in
bankruptcies OF business failures.
Second-An increase in petty crimes
and penitentiary offences.
/, Third All Increase in the number
Of murders
ia Fourth- iacrease in insanity.
Fifth--An increase in suicides.
Sixth An increase in divorces.
Seventh-And lastly the assass.na.
ton OF rulers.
To this might be ADDED the
calamity howl of Daniel Webster
who said. Liberty cannot long en-.
dure in any country where the
tendency. OF legislation is to con.
centrate wealth in the hands of few.
+ Let every thoughtful person read
history. and if any of the causes
which were common in working the
destruction of other nations are work
ing in our republic they should be re.
moved. fit is wise for an individual
to torestall sickness or prevent it by
removing that which invites it
surely our great republic. the land
OF the free and the home of the
brave"-should avoid the shoals on
which other nations stranded.
The people Of this country have it
4, in their power to perpetuate this
government and actually make it the
home of the free. if they will do their
duty at the ballot box. IAN ounce

synopsis of Rev. Beuman'> sermon Yes
to-day Morning.
Rev. r c. Beaman preached to large
congregation yesterday morning from
part Of the 10th verse of the Goth chapter
Of lst Kings and as thy servant was
busy here and there, he was gone"
The text is part of an acted parable
and by reference to the preceding part
of this chapter you will learn that the
Syrians had been defeated in a battle
against Israel, and with great loss to
their forces. They had, however, rallied
unGer King BenLadal and had come
against Israel again at the first Of the
year with the cry, "YOur gods are gods
Of the hills and not of the valleys We
have come against you in the name Of
the God of the valleys, therefore we
shall be stronger than yOu.' The
Lord, as if to avcnge this insult, in
and 10 encourage him to 90 forth to bat
tie against the AssvrianS with the assur-
ance that he must win; For as they
have said am God Of the hills and not
that am God Of all, and Of all battles
aud the Children ,f Israel went forth
and slew in one day one hundred thou
sand footmen of the Assyrian ARM"
destruction, but contrary to his decree
his life was spared by Ahab and lie was
allowed to depart in peace. AS the king
of Israel was returning in his chariot
from the battle field, he meets the prophet
by the way in the form of disguised
soldier. The soldier says 10 him, Thy
servant went out into the midst Of the
battle and behold, man turned aside
and brought to me a man, and said keep
this man, for if by any means lie be miss.
ing, then shall thy life he for his life or
else thou shalt pay a talent of silver"
and as a reason for betraying this trust,
he says, And as thy servant was busy
here and there, he was gone Thus did
I e prophet show unto the king the sin
of Ahab in letting Benhadad 60 when
God had said, at is enough, let him die"
The thoughts drawn from these words
were:
t. God is our king
, We are his subjects or servants
; All time belongs to God and our time
is not our own
God gives us a portion Of his time
for gracious purposes; (a) for the forma-
tion of characters (hl for ministering to
others.
That we allow business TO rob us of our
time for doing good. The saddest hour
in any mans home is when his wife feels
that she is unloved and unpetted because
husband is so busy here and there"
Mr. Beaman closed with few words
10 parents in regard to the tremendous
responsibility God has imposed upon
them in giving them children to train,
and exorted them not to neglect this
trust while they were young.
Thus God entrusts us with all that is
sacred and holy, and We know it, and
now ask yourself the honest question,
how much of my time has been wasted
here and there"

A Poor Scheme.

It is not surprising that the new tax on
inheritances has failed to yield as much
money as Its confident projectors calculated
upon getting out Of It. Their estimates va
ried from a million and half q year to
four millions. Senator vEDDER. who has
the credit Of inventing the project. thought
it would yield at least two millions and q
half: and now 1t appears that In the year
lssl-s2 it has not produced as much as
$4,000. It Is evidently tax which does not
collect itself. Everybody seeks to avoid 1t.
This was the result also In the case Of the
modified tax. from which the scheme
took It's development. 1t was then pro-
posed to tax collateral inheritances
only. and not those OF direct and nat
ural heirs; and to make 1t more
efficient they gave a special commits
sion to tho chief financial officer Of every
county. This was paid to him in excess Of
his previous legal emoluments. and the
plan was to stimulate by peculiar fee his
activity in finding out occasions for levying
the tax. and his zeal In enforcing payment.
But the scheme does not work. and the
best thing that tho Legislature can do with
this novel. inquisitorial. and unproductive
style Of taxation, Is to abolish 1t altogether.
