A carpenter works and produces
house, a miner works and produces
ton of coal, farmer works and pro-
duces food, saloon keeper works and
produces-what? Anything that makes
the world wealthier, better or happier?
Oh, no! He will take the industrious
carpenter and make him a loafer and a
hummer; he will turn the once happy
miner into brute and ruffian, who
will neglect and abuse his wife and
children and make life misery for
those he once loved. The farmer once
in the grip of the saloon keeper will
neglect his farm, and very soon all that
he owns will go for whisky. All this
the two old parties say shall continue
under the protection of law, and thou
sands of good Christian men support
these two old parties with their ballots
and thereby say, "Go right on, legalize
these hell holes to ruin our men and
boys, fill our jails, create riot and blood
shed, poverty and woe, but be sure that
you make the rumseller give you a part
Of the profits, and we will stand right
back of you with our votes. F." What a
shame!
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-08-07

Now, no matter what shall be the
utterance or silence of the convention,
there is one issue foreordained to go to
the people at the November election,
and it is this: "Shall the American sa-
loon continue lawful" No politician is
adroit enough to leave it out or conceal
it, for God has entered American poll
tics to stay, not carry elections-that
he could not do without abridging lib
erty-but to convict voters. A Metho-
dist may be true to his church and vote
for any kind of tariff, money. suffrage.
but he cannot be true and vote blank
on the subject of the saloon. q.

Intemperance is born of lustful appe

Intemperance is born of lustful appe-
tite, which bringeth forth sin, and,
when it is perfected, death. The power
of Christ crucified is the only power
that can effectually subdue this appetite.
The cross of Jesus has no greater foe
than the wine cup and the barroom. No
two institutions are more diverse in
their origin, spirit and fruit than
Christs churches and satan's saloons
The reigns Of King Jesus and of King
Alcohol are always in inverse ratio.
Christians must oppose intemperance to
the end, because the work we build it
destroys. Albert G. Lawson, D. D.

at all die drunkards, are not the
churches bound to save the people?
If so per cent of moderate drinkers
die indirectly from the effect of strong
drink and the other 90 per cent die be-
fore their time, are not the churches
bound to conserve tho life of the nation2
II three-fourths of all crimes, poverty,
murders and sexual immoralities are
committed under the influence of intox-
icating liquors, are not the churches
bound to wipe out crime?
If the hearts of mothers and wives are
broken and their loved ones lost to
them, are not the churches bound to
keep sacred and inviolate the rights of
mother and child?
Men disinherited by a government
that privileges the liquor traffic to rob
them are begging Of the churches to
save them.
The laboring classes, forced to strug-
gle from sunrise to sunset in the welter-
ing smother of human contention for
the crust of bread they eat, are implor-
ing the churches to redeem them.
The farmers, lonely pensioners of
poverty, exposed to work from sleep to
sleep in order to keep roof over their
heads, are beseeching the churches to
emancipate them.
The prisoner from his prison pen, the
desolate mother from her cabin win
dow, the broken hearted wife from her
chilly and darkened home, hungry or
phans without the knowledge of moth
er's love, even the damned soul in hell,
Diveslike, all are beseechingly and
pityingly craving of the churches to
save them from the torrents of grief
that drown all joys out of the soul
The sights and sounds of sorrow and
suffering are in our midst; poverty and
tears are everywhere.
Poverty and tears reproach us, and I
ask the reason why.
And 1 answer simply because man
and the churches are not the friends of
man.
Shall we hang our harps ON the will
lows and by the rivers of the Babylon
of rum weep?
Or shall we organize the moral and
reformative forces of justice and hu-
manity, and, like some cosmic agency,
with effort united, eager, active and
determined, put out all the fires in the
breweries and distilleries of this land
Shall the churches awaken to the
cries of the people?
Or shall our cry be to the dead?
1t cannot be to tho dead
1t must not be, for God is faithful,
even though the churches have slept.
Let the churches awaken.
In the name of Jesus, the Saviour Of
men, let the churches come together,
and if they do the power of the Holy
Ghost will overshadow them, and they
will sweep this evil forever from the
earth with the force Of an incoming
irresistible tide from the great ocean Of
God

The educated citizen who persistent
ly votes wrong because he blindly re-
fuses to investigate the political situa-
tion is little if any better qualified to
exercise the right of franchise than he
who votes wrong under the pressure Of
"ward worker" with a IS bill. The
vote of the former has just as much
weight toward wrong legislation as the
latter, no more, no less. They both tend
to defeat the advancement of good gov
ernment, and the culpability Of the one
needs to be discouraged even as much
as the criminality of the other.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-08-07

The number of those who in the
churches are today losing Christian
character by the insidious influence Of
Intoxicating drinks, ought to alarm the
Christian public and lead to new devo-
tion to that Christian reform which God
gave almost as q redemption to the
churches, and which has ever proved
the handmade Of religion in effort for
individuals, in home evangelization, in
revivals and in preserving members of
the churches from backsliding and apos-
tasy. E. H. Pratt
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-08-07

The church should be refuge and a
shield from temptation. Therefore al
coholic wine should be excluded from the
communion and the members carefully
instructed as to the reasons for this re-
quirement. 1t is a subject of grave 70.
proach to the church today that the re-
formed man should meet his worst enc
my in the holiest Of the church ordi-
nances, and that the children of the
church should get the first taste Of alco-
holic wine at the table of our Lord

The drink which the distilleries make
is but palatable poison. If their liquors
are SO delicious that the people are
tempted to their own destruction, let US
at least be secure from their fatal draft

WHICH Is BESTi

Which is best, TO build lighthouse,
Storm and tempest to withstand,
Or to build the buoyant lifeboat,
Always ready to be man'd7
Is 1t best to save the vessels
From becoming total wrecks
Or to snatch a few poor wretchcs
From the brine besprinkled decks
OF the wrecks each year occurring
For the want of warning ught7
Ought we not TO save the vessels
And direct their course aright7
Which is best, think you, prevention.
Training little ones Alright
Or the punishment inflicted
BY the law in all its might2
Is it best to build schoolhouse
For the little girls and boys
Or to build gaudy palace
For the traffic which destroys7
Shall 1t be to school or prison,
Teachers or policemen's pay?
Which is best? Your conscience answers,
Let us have the right of way.
Is it best to heed the hungry,
Needless, poor, neglected child,
Save and educate and raise him
From life both hard and wild?
Or in after years to take him
To some Jail to feed and harden,
Sentenced for some awful crime?
Which is best? Crime or prevention7
Prohibition or saloon?
This Is an important question
Which your vote must answer soon.
Which is best, to license drink traps
For the revenue they bring,
Then go forth to rescue mortals
From the beer or whisky sting,
Save just few poor drunkards,
Burying tens of thousands more7
Would it not, think you, be wiser,
Just to close the tavern door?
Just to say by printed ballot
The saloon has had Its day,
Drunkenness can be prevented,
We will vote the curse away2

1t Touched General Lee.

"Gen. Robert f. Lee once told me
of an ovation he received that
touched him more than any demon
stration ever made III his honor"
said the venerable Judge White, of
Virginia, to Washington Post man
at the National. Following closely
on the surrender of the Southern
army, the commandment chief of the
Confederacy went to pass season at
the home of his particular friend.
E. r. Cooke, who last November ran
as the Populist candidate for Cover
nor against Colonel O'Ferrall. After
a few weeks Of the most hospitable
and elegant entertainment, General
Lee was called to the presidency of
the Washington and Lee University.
Bidding his kind friends adieu, he
started for Lexington on horseback
and alone. He had gone some mil.
and was passing through rather
dreary stretch of wooded country,
when he espied a plain old country
man mounted on a sorry nag coming
toward him. As they passed each
other both bowed, as is the fashion
when strangers meet in out-ofthe
way places, but the old farmer III the
home spun suit stared hard at the
soldierly figure as though not quite
certain of recognition. He went his
way a little further, then turning his
horse around, cantered back ard
soon came up with the General again.
81 beg pardon, sir, but is not this
General Robert Lee?'
Eyes, / am General Lee Did
ever meet you before my friend?''
''Then the old Confederate grasped
the chieftain's hand and with the
tears streaming down his face said
General Lee, do you mind if cheer
your The General assured him that
he didn't mind, and there on that
lonesome pine bordered highway,
with no one else in sight, the old reb
el veteran with swinging hat lifted
up his voice in three ringing rounds
of hurrahs for the man that the
Southland idolized. Then both went
their way without another word be
ing spoken.

perts figuring on the Tariff bill is as
follows: The estimated receipts from
customs in the amended Tariff bill,
as reported to the full Senate Com
mittee on Finance, amount to $165,
900,0 900 in round figures. From in
ternal revenue, including income tax,
estimated additional tax of 20c. a
gallon on whiskey as imposed by the
Senate, the increased tax over the
House rates on domestic cigars and
and the tax on playing
cards, it is estimated the receipts
will amount to 500, 000,0 600.
This S63, 000,0 600 of internal revenue
tax is additional to the revenue de
rived from these sources ut present
rates, and will make the entire re-
ceipts from internal revenue as pro
posed by the amendments to the
Senate bill 1929, 000,0 Adding to
this amount $161, 100000 now re-
ceived from other sources of internal
revenue taxation under the present
law, and sci 100000 from miscellane-
Gus sources, gives SAL, 100000 as the
probable net receipts under the bill

jority of the Senate Finance Commit
tee, as against 1885, 100000 derived
last year from the same sources of
revenue under the Mckinley act.
The Wilson bill as passed by the
House carried an estimated deficit of
s73, 900, 900; the bill as reported to
The Finance Committee of the Senate
