The Party Of the Center Issues an
Address to the Electors.
Berlin, May 23.--The party of the
center, concerning whose position so
much doubt has been felt, has issued an
electoral address In this address the
centrists take a decided stand against
the army bill. They say the question at
issue is not the securing Of tho existence
of the fatherland, but whether military
state shall be established and
Germany transformed into an army camp
in time of peace, thereby stripping the
country Of those who ought to maintain
It's industries. The address goes on to
state that the center party will oppose
the army bill and the amendment sup
ported by Freiherr Won Hoeningen-Huen
but will vote in favor of everything neces-
sary to maintain a strong army and eff
cient navy, at the same time taking into
due consideration the question of the peo-
ple's capacity 10 stand the additional
financial burden.
In addition TO discussing tho army bill
the address announces that a motion will
be offered by the center in favor OF per-
mitting the Jesults TO re-enter Germany.
The address also states that the center
party Is engaged in an earnest struggle
against fate and the unchristian doctrines
Of the socialists and their so-called liberal
legislation. The Center5also demands re-

The reading was much more rapid than
yesterday, there being an evident dis
position 10 push business.
After recess the directory was con-
tinued until an effort was made to eX-

on the ground that it had a tendency to
create ritualism. After three hours dis
cussion the whole directory, including
the appendix, was approved.

DUNLAP AS A DARK HORSE.
RenfTOe and DiSmukG Apt to Be Left
as the Result Of Their Fight.

Renfroe Backed by Secretary Smith,
Representative Black and Other
Congre ressnen-Dismuke Tas Both
the Senators and the President Be-
uddled-Dunlap's Chances at the
Moment the Best.
Washington, May 23.-The situation in
the fight for the marshalship of the North
Georgia district is simple. Col. RenfrOe
is backed by Secretary Smith, Repre-
sentative Black and others of the mem
bers. Col. Dismuke has both the senator's
and the President befuddled and worried
over the matter. The best opinions to-
night agree that this dead lock between
Col DismUke and Col. Renfroe will beat
them both and that dark horse will be
named for the place Jake Moore of
Rome, Samuel Dunlap of Hall county and
Col. Mobley of Harris county are the
prominent outside candidates. Col. Dun
laps chances are the best, at least he has
the strongest Endorsement and the mem
bers who are here appear willing to rally
to him if they see a chance
to put him in. Col Dunlap
is not more than 35 years old and has ac-
cumulated a fortune practicing law in
Gainesville. This of itself is no ordinary
achievement, and goes far to commend
him as a safe man for the place. i'll
should be called upon tonight to name
the winner in the rally as matters stand
would name Dunlap. But the prophesy
is ventured to hold good only for one day.
Col. Benfroe is here, but that is all He
is an industrious politician, but he has
struck flint in this matter. He stated to-
night that if he could break the senator's
away from Col Dismuke he could win.

Home Influences.

The great and good Sir Walter Scott,
said, that the philanthropy of Howard,
the first of prison reformers. has risen
to pitch of insanity. yet if it were not
for these extraordinary men our prisons
would have remained the same DUN
geons that they were hundred years
ago. Our prison reformers have done
much good in thus lessening the suf-
fering and sorrows Of the desolate, the
OutcaSt, and oppressed. And yet there
is still much to do. Mr.. Barnes of the
International Prison Congress, says, "a
man should not be confined to be re-
formed Such sentiment as this, is
very seldom expressed. The present
methods of jurisprudence is apparently
more in harmony with a spirit Of re-
venge, and punishment, as inflicted in
the present age, tends principally to the
forcing out of our natures their more de-
praved conditions. Punishment should
consist only of instruction and moral
elevation. A man subjected to it should
be compelled to learn d trade, to become
studious, and to learn the power of self
control: learned to obey and cultivate
habits of industry; his surroundings
should be cheerful: the lash, the stocks,
the hose and other cruelties, have been

Is Life Worth The Living.

In the words of Mark Twain. 1T all

is hardly applicable to us eXiles, yet the
question is, and it should be given a
most thorough and careful study by
every one confined here Recall the
various causes that were instrumental
in placing you here and the remedy
will readily assert itself, our duty be-
ing to put it in force to obtain the de-
sired results. Some apparently require
a repetition of our present situation.
Do we crave incarceration to such an
extent that by dispensing with it we
would feel an irreparable loss? No,
not by large majority. Then if we
would avoid these occurrences. we must
decide positively and permanently on a
future that is wholly devoid of those al
Turing vices which fascinates and leads
to crime. We must assert our will
power to its utmost, and completely an
initiate every obstacle that conflicts
with, Or retards our progress in the
paths of honesty and SObriety. We
must not expect to regain our lost foot
ing without trials both severe and long:
distractions will meet you uneXpect-
edly and frequently; but perseverance
and indOmitable pluck and energy will
win in the end. No matter what your
vocation may be, rise above your form
er petty weaknesses and proclaim the
fact by your deeds, that you still have
the ability, desires and qualifications
necessary to maintain a position of
trust: and the esteem and respect of
those who are your true friends, in all
the word implies, will speedily follow
Do not listen to that old refrain that
issues forth from the croakers, that for
and ex-convict to regain the respect,
esteem, and confidence of his former
friends is an impossibility. The class
of people who believe this. are generally
those who are looking for work and
praying they will not find it; and who
scan the daily papers to see if any NEIL
tion is made of an opening of new
gin-hOuse.

was an assured fact, it would be advisa-
