FATHER sTAFFOnD's SERMON.
The Eloquent Priest breaches Upon
at ~. EntricI>'s Church.

ICmItatibh st 81 uufch
a large congregation attended high mass
at St. PdtricK's Church yesterday morning
ana listened TO the eloquent Or. -. J. Stat
ford, the assistant pas tor, preach upon
TENN tation." The sermon was repletc
with striking Passages. The most stupen-
dOus of all thoughts. said Dr. Stafford, was
that man is free. All else in the visible uni
verse is ruled by necessity; link upon link
it binds all, and 10 being can depart from
This comDIeXity OF relationship but man is
free. The possibility of sin in him is In
liberty and also the possibility Of virtue.
and 50 heaven and he'll are likewise included
in human liberty. 1t Is the condition of
virtue. ana therefore OF heaven; and the
possibility of vice, and therefore of he'll.
God was not content to give man will,
memory and understanding, but added lib
erty as the Growing piece of perfection.
Despite the thousands of philosophers who
have argued against naa's freedom from
the ancient fatalists, to the late Stuart
Mill. the conviction and testimony of mans
consciousness oVerthrOws all systems and
asserts human liberty. So perent Is this
liberty OF man that it intervenes in the
order Of necessity and arrests II. He OPP
poses one iCrCe OF nature to another and
arrests II. He ov6rcOme5 the power Of at
traction by the force of propulsion Man
can interrupt the order OF nature in a linz
tied decree. Calnot God. therefore, do it
in an Infinite degree? The idea OF miracle
ne said, IS included in the idea of the lib
erty OF God and man. Sin, he exclaimed is
a revuis'on Of the whole order of nature es-
tablisbed by God, and sin is made possible
by liberty. IL liberty We're possessed alone
man would not sin, but in him is another
power given man for n good end but made
evil by abuse This is passion Passion is
the source OF all that is good, as we'll as all
that Is evil. Without passion man would be
as the inaniInate dust We crush beneath our
feet. 1t incjtes ran TO an abuse of liberty
which IS sin. Concluding, the prea cher said
God had not left us without q remedy. for
against passion we have reason, which never
loses the idea Of right and wrong, and con-
science which never fails 10 warn us when
tempted TO fall.

A long haired crank, Of the Pen.
dergast variety, armed with an
ugly looking dirk, q big revolver
and few grains of arsenic, called
to see Governor Renfro, of Okla
homa, a few days ago. He stated
that the Governor had promised
him job and he wanted to see
him about it. He was detained
until an officer came. We are in
hopes that the conviction of Pen.
dergast will drive the long.haired
crank into retirement for a time.
The folio wing editorial in the New
York World about covers the case:
"Pendergast, the afsassin of Mayor
Carter Harrison, has been con.
victed of murder and sentenced
to death. This is eminently right.
A "crank" who threatens aud care.
fully executes q murder, if crazy
at all, is just crazy enough to be
hanged. There is no nonsense
about murder trials in Chicago.

There are many inquiries com.
ing IN from other states in refer
ence to the coal lands of Arkansas.
Every inquiry should meet with a
prompt and honest reply. 1t pays
TO tell the truth to capitalists and
home-seekers. No man feels friend
ly to a people if he has been in.
duced to locate among them or in.
vest his money through deceptive
methods. Arkansas is a great state.
A truthful representation of the
inducements offered in the way of
coal, fruit and general farming
lands is sufficient to call attention
to the fact that no State has such
q varied field for investment, with
as liberal prospect for a return
of profit. In soil, in climate aud
in health there is not = State in
the Union that will compare with
Arkansas, aud every year witness
es it's approach to commercial per-
lection. Really, the people Of Ar
kansas, as a whole, are enjoying q
degree of prosperity unknown to
many other sections of the coun
try.-Arkansas Press.

A Return Of the Old wsllow.

Mr.. Breckenridge of Arkansas is
coming to the front as free trade
leader. Heretofore he has been
conspicuous only on account. Of
holding seat in Congress by vir.
the of the assassination of the Re.
publican who was elected over
him.-GlObe.DemOcrat.
Partisan malice needs neither
judges, courts nOrjuries in the set
Element Of controverted questions.
II is sufficient unto itself. The
fact that there had been no recount
of the ballots in the disputed pre-.
cincts and that the Republican
candidate had not taken the first
legal steps necessary to the be-
ginning of q contest is without i'm
portance in the eyes of Republic
cans seeking opportunity to malign
the South and its Democracy.
Congressman Breckenridge was
elected repeatedly before and has
been elected repeatedly since the
the assassination of John NJ. Clay
ton. The assertion that he holds
q seat in Congress "by virtue of
the assassination of the Republi.
can who was elected over him." is,
accordingly, so false IS to bear all
the evidences ofpremeditated and
malicious falsehood. 1t is only
exceeded in meanness and COW.
ardice by the insinuation that Mr..
Breckenridge was a party to the
crime of ClaytOn's murder.
Partisan and sectional malice
could go no further.-St. Louis
Republic.

The Georgia House of Repre-.
personalities has taken q very
good step for the prevention OF
the exercise Of lynch law in that
State in the future. 1t has passed
q bill making it felony for any
one to act with mob, the offense
being punishable by imprisonment
in the penitentiary for a term Of
not less than twenty years. Should
the victim die from the violence OF
the mob, all the members Of the
organization are to be deemed
guilty OF murder. The law is sc.
we're, but it requires one of just
such character to fit the offense of
the lyncher.
