The case of the Rev. Mr. Murdoch the
Rome preacher who has been deprived of
his pastorate because of his connection
with newspaper in an editorial capacity,
presents an interesting question. Did
not the elder, by removing the preacher
from his charge, curtail the power for
good of that pastorate3 In the dual
capacity of editor and preacher Mr. Muir
dech welded far more influence than he
could possibly have exercised as
preacher merely. He had seven cougre-
cations a week, so to speak, and on six
days of the week he spoke to a larger
congregation than heard him on Sundays
The paper he was connected with was
reputable and honest in its discussion of
public affairs, and it is difficult to see
wherein his editorial duties were iucom-
patlble with his Christian duties His
connection with secular work may have
been against the strict letter of the
church law but it would hardly be diff
cult TO find numerous instances in which
owing TO circumstances, the letter of
church Methodist church laws
are violated by mem bers who remain in
gnu SGdhulus. III MI. huruOCu case
il seems there was circumstance that
should 20 very long way in mitigation
of his departure; his church did not pay
him living and he was advised by his
stewards to supplement his salary by
outside work. 1t seems that a minister
who would willingly do that, where
the church is poor and the church work
would not be interfered with. ought To be
encouraged instead of squelched.

Alone.
Robert }. Burdette


l miss you. my darling my darling.
The embers hurn low on the hearth;
And still Is the air of the household
And hushed is the voice of its mirth
The rain splashes fast on the terra e.
The wind past the lattices moan
The midnight chimes out from the steeples
And am alone.
| want you, my darling, my darling,
m tired with care and with iret:
] would nestle in silence teside you,
And all but your presence forget
In the hush of the happiness given,
10 those who through trusting have grown
To the fullness of love in -contentment;
But am alone.
/ call you my darling, my darling.
My voice echoes back on the heart:
stretch my arms to you in longing
And To- they fall empty apart:
l whisper the sweet words yoI taught me.
The words thar we only have known,
TIL the blank of the dumb air is bitter:
For I am alone.
need you, my darling, my darling
With its yearnlng my very heart aches:
The load that divides Us weighs harder
shrink from the jar that it makes:
Old sorrows rise up and beset me,
= Old doubt make my spirit their own
., come through the darkness and save me.
For am alone.

A oOnduotor and Reporter in luck.

A Conductor and Reporter in Luck.
An Englishman wearing an exceedingly
voclferous not to say talkative suit Of sum
mer tweed entered Broadway cable-car at
the South Ferry last evening. says the New
York Tribune. His manner indicated weari-
ness with the common things Of this life. and
when German couple entered the car he
sighed aUdibly, and took firmer hold on his
walking--tiok' as he sank into the corner Of

through the loosely knit meshes of which
gold pieces could be seen. He selected one
ana dropped 1t gingerly into the conductor S
outStre ched hand. The conductor scrutinized
the sovereign, for such it was, closely. and
then said to the Englishman, who was staring
into vacancy:
We can't make change for more than 81 1
can't change this piece
Il want no change. my good fellow" said
may keep the change"
The conductor gasped, but he slipped the
piece into his pocket. after ringing up one

me car oowled along up town and the pas
sengers began to thin out. A reporter who
sat opposite the EnglishInan could not detect
the tremor of an eyelid on the part Of the i'm
perturoable Briton. He had intended to get
out at Park Row, but such an interesting
study OF human nature was too good to be
missed, Here was the genuine simon-pure
nonchalance which is SO much envied by the
youth Of the period in America.
The conductor cry of 'TWentv-third
street reused the stranger from hts appar-
ent lethargy. and he arose and stalked down
the car. Before he reached the door the re-
porter saw the silk purse lying on the seat
he seized il quickly, and holding it up, called
out; You've lost your purse" The English
man turned slightly, looked steadily for a
moment at the reporter and with a slight
stlft shake of his head indicated that he had
no turthtr use for the gold. The conductor
llfted his nat to his patron. and that person
stepping from the car vanished in the cor.
ridor Of the Fifth Avenue hotel.

Idle Money.

Notwithstanding the large exports Of
gold, the rate of interest in New York is
lower now than it has been for long
time. Money is offered as low as l per
cent per annum for three months with
out finding takers. Money on call at 1
per cent. can be had in any amount The
same condition of affairs prevails in Lon
don, Paris and Berlin. In all of those
cities bankers complain of the difficulty
of loaning money even at the usually low
rates of interest at which it is offered
The banks of this country have an
abundance Of gold, and so have the banks
of Europe, The Bank of England has
SlS0,000, 900, the Bank of France $3.50, 900, =
600 and the Bank of Germany S175, 00O, 600.
If a similar condition of affairs in re-
spect to idle money had not prevailed at
other times it might reasonably be con-
cluded that we are on the eve of even
more troublous times than we now have.
AS a matter of fact, however, there have
been periods in the history of this coun-
try when money was in as little demand
as it is at present. and when there was
very little activity in any kind of bus
mess, Those periods were succeeded by
prosperous times and so also will be this
period of depression.
The revival in business may not come
as soon as many anticipate, but it will
come, and the hard times will be forgot
ten as the hard times of the past have
been. Nobody can give an entirely salts
factory reason, however, why there
should be so much idle money in the prin-
cipal countries of Europe as well as in
this country.

An Englishman named Gray is reported
to have arrived at Nashville the other day
on long tramp from Boston to Monterey.
He is walking across the continent on a
wager that he will make trip around
the world without expanding a cent, and
be back in London on March II, with
5000, which he shall have made during
the trip. Several months ago a Boston
club man, under the name of Paul
Jones,'' started out on a similar trip, and
acquired fame that lasted about two
weeks. Nothing has been heard of him
lately.

Representative Springer continues to
advocate the adoption by the House of

Senate, without alteration or discussion.
But he has plan to deal later with the
schedules the House might object to- He
proposes that when the bill has been
passed and signed by the President, short
bills dealing directly with the objection

He thinks he could put through short

Congressman Geary, of California,

Geary is in favor of the government as
Stunning control OF the roads and operating

mittee in favor of that proposition he re-
ferred to how Leland Stanford had ac-
cumulated his wealth and objected to his
being "deified because in his last moments
he erected, with his money and the
peoples money, a university" And that
university. Mr.. Geary went on to say
was erected from meanness and revenge,
TO destroy another university, because
the graduates Of that refused to make the
founder trustee" "Would you wink at
the crime through which that university
was erected 20 asked Mr.. Geary of Rep

Teller, of Colorado, and Slbley, of
Pennsylvania, constitute the latest com
bination suggested for the populist
national ticket in 1896. Representative
Hatch, of Missouri, thinks things are
drifting toward those eminent opponents
of populistic doctrines. There are, how
ever, numerous other combinations that
would arouse great deal more populistic
enthusiasm. There are Tillman and Tom
Watson, Coxey and Allen, PETER and
Stewart, and Mrs. Lease and Christopher
Columbus Jones. Teller and Sibley are
too recent converts; the old war horses of
the cause ought to be given the prefer

SUNDAY SCHOOL DOaNGs.

Tt must have been fortunate for
| those who were present on Sunday last
in the Methodist church here, to have
witnessed the best and largest conven-
ton IN that line that has been held for
| years. Tho the chances looked slim
for a large crowd, owing to the threat
| ening weather of the morning hour,
nevertheless standing room was at a
premium. The convention was called
to order by MI. McPhail, and the ex-
ecutive committee selected Mi. G. j.
Morgan of Prairie Greig, as chairman,
and d. L. Mcpherson, as secretary.
The exercises opened by singing the
Doxology and the usual Scripture les
son, and the home choir sang "Qpen
Door for the Children in d manner
that deserves credit, and with a spir-
tied feeling.
At this point, Rev. Kellyinvoked the
Divine blessing for the convention, and
of the Sunday school in general. An.
other song was in order by our home
choir. Anthem: "Glory to God in the
Highest
A recitation by Miss Lillia Burton of
Abbeville, a temperance one, full OF
pathetic incidents, and we'll delivered.
CHOW to Study the Lesson 80 as to
be Able to Teach it Successfully" was
a subject that was we'll handled by DIR.
Schilling of Prairie Greig, and d. l..
Mcpherson. Their remarks were timely
and to the point.
Reports we're received from different
schools of the parish, showing the num-
ber of scholars, and the average at
tendance at each school. The differ
emit schools in the parish are in a pros
porous condition, and Judging from re-
ports must be very encouraging.
Lack of space prevents rs from Civ
ing a complete write up of the owen
ton, especially, would that we could
give a brief resume of the different sub
.iects discussed. The convention was
one, that will be source of help to the
people who labor in such a worthy
cause. The program vas carried out
in full, with one or two exceptions,
caused by sickness and non attendance.
At l O'Clock a large number of the
friends partook of a basket dinner at
the Masonic hall.
The meeting lasted the greater part
of the day, and all returned home feel
ing that they were not weary in well
doing.

A Dastardly Deed.

One of the most daring and das'
tardly crimes, that has ever beer
committed in Vermilion parish oc-
Cured last Wednesday evening in
the vicinity OF Perry. 1t was one
of those crimes that cries 10 the
loudest tones for vengeance, and
that quick.
But then. it cannot be wondered
at, when you take into consideration
that the animal brute of an unsophis.
tlcated wretch was none less than a
negro by.pad. by the name of Ride.
way Harris, who recently was i'm
ported here from Avoyelles parish.
From what we learn this brute
was passing near the residence OF
Mr.. Walter Stakes, and was shout
ing and yelling in a manner that
disturbed the quiet of neighborhood.
On being told by Mr.. S. to keep
quiet and to make less noise, was
answered by the negro,saying: "You
como out here and I will show you."
Whereupon Mr.. Stakes advanced
towards him, and being unarmed, and
having no weapon of defense, the
negro drew a razor, aud never
stopped using it. until he cut his
stomach in several places and 10 a
manner that raj sickening to look
at. The wretch succeeded in maxi
ing his escape, and our officers are
making a thorough search for him,
and if caught, no doubt will receive
the fell penalty of the law, which
he richly deserves.
AT this hour Is p. m. Thursday
Stakes is very low, with the
chances of recovery very doubtful.
The sympathy of the community
are extended to the parents and
relatives.
LATEB-It is rumored in town at
hour (lO q. m. friday that Mr..
