power To set the N after right before the pu bile.
But no such information was given, and il

old time invariable Democratic denuncia-
ton of Republican bob" Ingersoll as the
raw head" of radicalism and the ''bloody
bones" of irreligion. 1t is pleasant for
the Republican party to recollect that the
long line of Democratic political orators and
philosophers includes no atheist, no elo-
quent scoffer or blasphemer. The Republic
can vandals who have ''recklesslv violated
the constitution" and burnt up its essen
tial bowels in the fires of fratricidal war,
include the only notorious, irreverent enc
mics of Bible Christianity.

sentative Christian and radical apostle of
secession and civil war: the Hon. E. J.
Phelps. who dubbed Abraham Lincoln,
"the baboon of the backwoods," who was
Democratic minister to England and boot

American rival in the affection and adj

childiike faith that these and such ~
these have in the constitution and the
Union as they were before the war finds
yet moro lofty illustration in the uni
versal, unanimous belief of the Bourbon

Scriptures and the immediate efficacy of
prayer from the days when Jefferson de-
rided Tom Paine and Aaron Burr led in
prayer. to the present date. The Repub-
lican party may win most often in the
corrupted currents of this world, but in
the next world, on which they cast their
reverent eyes the Democratic party will
find their calling and their election sure,
and will have the satisfaction Of seeing
the Republican agnostic, Bob Ingersoll,
afar off in torment, without a drop of
water to cool his tongue, which he has un-
duly heated uttering redhot denunciation
of the Democracy.

and impressive chronological fact. There
are some significant points of difference to
be sure. In Texas it is the white Chris
tian who roasts the black man. while IN
Colombia it is the white Christian who
gets roasted by the red heather. but
this is a matter of minor consequences;
the plane of savagery is just the
same; the savages differ in color and
go to different churches, but they both be-
lieve in the human barbecue. The white
man is the rooster in Texas, while he gets
roasted in Colombia. This is like the diff
ference between hunting the tiger and
having the tiger hunt you, but nevertheless
there doesn't seem to be any just or valid
reason why, when these Indians of Colon
bia, South America, hear Of the recent
rather horrible holiday proceedings in
Paris. Texas, they should not raise q
mighty shout of "Texas, snake?'
The Colombia Indians will feel disposed
to be color blind; they will recognize
Texas henceforth as "a man and a
brother" One touch of nature makes US
all akin, and the heather Indians Of CO.
lombia feel glad and proud that Texas
has furnished Christian precedent for
roasting criminals alive. The Colombia
Indians appear to have the same bitter
prejudice against a white man that q
white man in Texas has against a negro.
but that is doubtless due to their extreme
ignorance; if these Indians only lived in
Texas they would soon learn that the
proper person to roast to death is not q
white but black man. but being mere
Indians they do not know anJ better than
to roast white people. If they were only
Christians they would soon learn that it is
not good form to burn anybody to death
for crime except negro. Texas ought to
send white missionaries to convert these
Indians to Christianity. so that they may
stop roasting white men and have only
black bear meat at their barbecue.
