Ingersoll on immortal ty.

Col Robert g. Ingersoll, the brilliant
orator, who has the name of being an
atheist was asked the other day, if he
believed in Immortality. His reply
was:
II have nothing to conceal on that
question, / have always been perfectly
frank and have given the transcript of
my heart and brain. do not say that
death ends all, neither do | say that
man is immortal. say that l do not
know. To know is one thing, to be-
lieve is another. hope for all good,
all joy for the children of men. All l
can say about Immortality is this:
There was time when | was not, after
that l was, now am. and it may be
that it is no more wonderful that
shall continue forever, now that have
start, than it was that | should begin.
We love, and those we love die and we
cling to the hope, to the wish, that we
may meet again. Love was the first to
dream of immortality, and as long as
we love we shall hope

Sound Advice.

We never like to repeat advice but
the subject is so important, our friends
the farmers, will forgive us, for again
suggesting that they make their farms
absolutely self-supporting without de
pending on cotton. We are more than
ever convinced that all those who do
not raise their grain, hay, work stock
and food supplies on their places, will
be ruined sooner or later. The gold
standard means cent cotton, and no
man can raise it at that figure, except
he raise it as a surplus crop. Those
who led the farmers to believe that the
single standard would raise the price
of agricultural products, have already
discovered their mistake. When it was
thought certain the Repeal Bill could
not pass cotton was 81 { in New Orleans,

The Vicksburg Commercial Herald
is one of the few whisky papers in Mis-
sissippi which seems determined to go
down beneath the advancing wave OF
Prohibition, crying scissors" to the
last. 1t is greatly exercised now over
the number of "blind tigers" discover
ed in dry counties by the U. S. court.
There are none so blind as those who
will not see. 1t hasn't been so long
ago since Warren county grand jury
returned large batch of indictments
against sundry persons who had been
running "blind tigers" in the wide
open license city of Vicksburg, and
only very recently the ClarionLedger
referred to the running of blind tigers
in the license city of jackson. Now
let the CHI. rise and explain why H.
cense doesn't ''prohibit."

After the action of Congress on the
silver question, three remarkable Incl
dents in the history of this country
were noted: The report of port receipts
of cotton was greater than ever known
before in the history of the country,
thereby reducing the price; the price
of silver bullion was lower than ever
quoted before in the markets of the
world and the depression in wheat
was greater than at any time since the
war. These are the three principal ex-
ports of this country, and their reduc-
ton in price, only increases the dis
tress of the people. The bankers and
usurers are happy over the situation,
but the producing and business inter
ests have been dealt blow from which
the country will not recover for many
years to come.-ChichdsdW Messenger

SENATOR GEORGE.

The following paragraphs taken from
an interview of a Memphis paper with
Senator George will be read with inter
est at this time:
ut is pretty generally conceded"
said he, that the demand for cotton is
greater than the supply, and we
are too ascertain, if possible, what
causes led to this condition of affairs.
1t is well known that prices have been
ruling lower in all things since 1873.
As to the cause that produces the de-
cline in cotton, we are investigating"
Senator, do you think the repeal of
the purchasing clause of the Sherman
act has anything to do with the imme-
date decline in cotton?"
well, you see the price has been de-
clining, and you can draw your own in
ference"
Senator, what causes do you think
led to the recent cyclone that hit the
Democratic party
well, they are numerous, and to
venture an opinion would be in the ma
ture of speculation. The campaign
was fought last year on free silver and
tariff reform and won. This year tar
iff reform was not mentioned, silver
was demonetized and the campaign was
lost"
"What financial legislation do you
think will be attempted at the coming
session of Congress?"
81 am not now able to say"
do you think the tax on State bank
issues will be repealed?"
AN attempt will be made to do it
If the administration favors it, the tan
will probably be removed. If against
it, it will probably fail. If the admin
istration is Indifferent ] cannot say
what the prospect of repeal is"
