THE SOUTH CAROLINA RIOTS

The loss of life in the South Carolina
riots is Of course most deplorable. but
the riots themselves are by no means
surprising. nor. indeed, are they to be
very much regretted. The Tillman fac
ton has set up a government in South
Carolina that it is very difficult for men
belonging to the Anglo-Saxon race quietly
to yield obedience TO. We believe II
would be for the best interests of man
II the sale Of intoxicating liquors could
be entirely suppressed. We do not be-
lieve this possible. however. so that the
next best thing is to regulate its sale
by stringent provisions of law But
regulating its sale by law and monopo-
LIKING its sale by the State are two very
different things. The one leaves the bust
ness, so far as 1t is a legitimate bust
ness. open 10 the competitions of the
citizens. and 1t leaves citizens free use
OF intoxicating liquors witQn the regula-
lions prescribed by the law. as their own
wills and wishes may suggest. But this
Tilman law monopolizes TO the STATE
the sale of all liquors. thus ending the
business as one for the competition OF
the citizen. and 1t forces the citizen who
wishes TO use liquor 10 do it, not in ac-
cordance with his own wishes and de
sires. but according to hard and fast
lines laid down and prescribed by a
statute. 1t not only vexes and harnesses
the citizens In these ways. but 1t sets
an army OF spies to watching the people
all over the State in their daily lives
All this is i'm exasperating antagonism 10
the traditions and teachings of people
who descend from the Anglo-Saxons
They are accustomed to having their
liberties under the reasonable restraints
OF law. and. II there Is one thing more
odious to them than another IL is 10
have their daily actions not only watched
and reported on by hirelngs and spies,
but their private residences intruded upon
and searched without legal warrant.
The Tillman statute is the Socialists
proposition OF government, to-wit That
the Government shall regulate and pro-
vide for all the daily affairs Of the citi-
zen, ana. as belongs to that idea. that
II shall secure obedience TO Its mandates
ana regulations by hired agents. who
live upon It. This idea Is spreading in
the large cities Of the North. ana we

ton upon 1t more and more every day.

Commenting at length on the letter OF
Mrs. Cuthbut Bullitt. Of Kentucky. in
defence OF B'eckinrldge. the New York
Sun, of yesterday, says:
Instead of he lesson OF the Breckln-
ridge trial bdng as Mrs. Bullitt draws
it. that ladies should be "sterner with
their own SEX IL is. therefore. that they
should be sternrr with men. Feminine
depravity is innocuous, except so far as
it is supplemented by the depravity Of
man, which is usually it's original cause.
BY holding men up TO their moral obli-
cations strictly, women will be relieved
from the necessity of being "sterner with
their own SEX" By excusing in men a
moral rottenness which they make dis
graceful and intolerable, in a woman.
they neutraize TO a large extent the
beneficial effects of their condemnation
of feminine corruption. They encourage
the multiplication by men of the smooth
tongued sirens who make willing vic
Tins of men.
Moreover, no man worthy Of the name
would ask or accept mercy for himself,
which was denied 10 the woman with
whom he had offended. He would not
make the false. c0wardly and contempt
BILE plea that he had been led astray by
her, rather than gone wrong OF himself.
All men know that they are not entitled
TO any such discrimination in their favor.
but that the great preponderance Of the
culpability rests on their own shoulders.

According to our pasture SO are We fed.
Some things make for bright, active,

this is most applicable to our higher ma
lures. There is heavy, dead learning.
that loads and overwheln,s and benumbs
our natures, comparable to the dead food
Of animals; and there Is live food that
makes for life and light that keeps our
lights burning. How much of the diet Of
our poor children. IN private and public
schools. is without stimuiant' and dead,
who knows? How they crave. and what
they get OF the other sort. who knows?
But, somehow or other, the course
of things. the advance of civilization. Is
compelling cures OF evils. And the men
and women OF our day are very game.
very live. very exalting. They will not
live on dead food. They must have life,
intensity. high pressure everywhere.
The best Of our time live in bright,
clear. llmpid waters OF truth. They feed
on facts. on conclusions. on the cream
OF all the past, on live men; and
are occupied in present Issues. Condens-
ed food, digests, selections. crisp corn
ers. bright thoughts, crown jewels. are
favorite ideas with us. And minds are
kept busy remodellng. repairing. making
over, improving. and perfecting all that
has ever been done before. Lightning
and concentrated gunpowder-dynamite-
are our agencies. Are we not a game
generation? Why should not the fire Of
Shakespeare be in demand-be the fash
ion?
In the midst OF all this. and in divine
adaptedness is the marvel Of Christiani-
ty.
The Gospels contain the most impor-
tant truths in the briefest sentences;
truths whose natural accomplishments
should be miracles and wonders. The
New Testament is an amazing collec-
ton OF the Invest conceivable learning.
And the Old Testament is its apt and
natural predecessor Great facts, laws,
and principles. illustrated by brief biogra-
plies and histories that are but object
lessons; and word pictures almost mere
sketches. Job, the Psalms. and Isaiah,
with the prophets. are very elixrs Of
life. Our day can conceive Of nothing
comparable to them but high
wines, essences, concentrated spirits,
and CONDENSED stimuIants, nitro glycer-
Inc, naptha, and ether The age is like
an inebriate that takes his spirits I'M
mixed and rndluted. almost fire.
And the most wonderful part of all
this Is the sacraments. The first says In
the language Of the day: Old things have
passed away. and all things have become
new; the second makes familiar the privi-
lege Of feeding on divine life. OF the
Gospel teachings there is but one ac-
count: "The words that l speak unto you,
they are spirit; they are life" The livest
and most remarkable man that ths
world has ,ver seen, pours out his
heart: Ny soul is athhst for God.
yea, even 70, the Living God.

birds at the Pole.

II the countries bordering on the
Polar seas, where the changing seasons
bring alternately the two extremes of
dearth and plenty, birds are mora
Numerous in the short summer than
anywhere else all the world over, and
in winter absent altogether. All are
emigrants there by force of circum-
stances. In like manner the birds of
temperate climates are affected by the
seasonal changes, though in n less de-
gree, through the influence of cold
and heat upon their food supplies
rather than by effect of cold upon
their well-protected bodies. A coat
of mail il not to be compared to a
coat of feathers for safety, so far rs n
birds life il concerned. Layer upon
layer OF feathers can withstand any
amount Of water or any degree of
cold; in proof of this see how tho

paratively mild weather, go back 30

their eggs on the ice. For two or
three weeks the tender breast of tho
sea swallow Is pressed against cold

ample of the influence Of food rather
than climate in governing bird action,
take the colony Of beccafcos. The
beccatico Is n Mediterranean bird
common on the southern shores of
Spain and Italy, in the Grecian
Islands, Sicily and Malta, and on tho
northern shores of Africa. Formerly
it was quite unknown in the British
Isles. but some years ago largo
orchard of fig trees was planted near
Brighton, anl the beccatlcos have dis
covered the fact and come over to
share the spoil. Doubtless the
nightingales told them the story of
English figs and showed them the way
over. Be this as it may, the little
birds from tho warm shores of the
Mediterranean bid fair to become es-
