Help Your Pastor.

ga minister who is worthy of the
name can stand an empty purse bet
ter than an empty pew On an empty
prayer meeting. 1t is a disgrace that
failure to pay an honest salary should
straIghten a pastors purse; but the
spiritual emptiness afflicts his heart
the most keenly. Perhaps your pastor
is wondering what has become of you
on the evenings OF devotional meet
ings. The better man or woman you
are the more you are missed; the
worse you are the more need to 90.
1t may be that your pastor is disheart-
ened by the emptiness of your pew on
the Sabbath. He has carefully pre-
pared adiscourae for your benefit; you
have lost it; both he and you suffer
from that absence. For one, am
ready to confess that | never made
any converts to the truth in an empty
pew, and never have delivered a SER
mon loud enough to awaken a parish
ioner who was dosing at home, or
strolled off to some other church. If
good reason keeps you at home try
to send q substitute; invite some
friend who seldom hears the gospel, to
go and occupy yonr seat; your minis
ter gets hearer, and the hearer NAV
get what will save his soul. Church
members some times complain that
their minister does not draw larger
congregation yet they do nothing tv
draw outsiders to the house OF God by
a cordial invitation to come. Help
your pastor to fill the house." Rev.
Theo. L. Cyler.

NOTED to first lieutenant October %.
1892. 1t was during his detail as pro-
lessor OF military science at Delaware
College, Newark, Delaware, that on
December 30, 1890, he was made CAP
tain. His college work at Delaware
was of the highest order and soon
brought his department up to a high
standard.
One of his warmest admirers is the

tendent of the in dian school at Car

In addition to his skill and exper.

Brown is spoken of as man of ster.

University Of Tennessee.

The University Of Tennessee is to be
congratulated upon the detail of Can
tain George Leroy Brown, 11th In
fantry, U. S. A., now stationed at
Whipple Barracks, Arizona, to the DO.
sition OF commandant OF cadets and
professor OF military science and tao
tics, to succeed Lieut.. L. d. Tyson at
the expiration OF his detail in Septem-
Der next. There were quite a number
OF applicants for the place, but Cap
tain Brown was SO highly recommend
ed that the university looked care
fully into his record and, finding it a
very fine one, through President Dab
ney at Washington, made q strong
and long-continued effort to secure his
detail.
It is rare thing.t tor the captains in
the army to be detailed to college du-
ty, as that is generally considered a
part OF a lieutenant's education. It
is only done in Captain Browns case
because his last college detail was cut
short by his taking the Pine Ridge In
dian Agency in 1891 at the special re-
quest of the war department, which
wished to suppress threatened Indian
uprisings there. His orders were to
prevent a second "ghost dance" at all
hazards, which he did, managing
the affair very successfully and com
ing through the ordeal with flying
eolors. He continued his services at
the Pine Ridge Agency until July,
1888, when he was ordered to Whipple
Barracks, Arizona, his present station.
Captain Brown is a man about for
ty-hve years of age. He entered West
Point in July, 1868. and graduated
June II, 1872, and was promoted in
the army to second lieutenant, 1lth

nomination was received, the Senate
went into executive session and
promptly confirmed it.
President Hsrrison and Judge Jack
son were not only Senators together,
but their seats closely adioined, and a
warm friendship sprang up between
them, as we'll as between their respec.
tive wives.
1t was a great surprise when it was
announced, Feb. 2, 1898, that Presi
dent Harrison had appointed South
ern Democrat TO the United States
supreme bench, to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Jus tice Lamar,
But when the regard in which the
President and Judge Jackson held
each other was taken into considera-
ton, there was no longer any astonish-
ment expressed.
In the affairs of hisown State Judge
Jackson was never more conspicuous
than in fighting the reputation
movement in 1882, and it is probable
that he did a large share to defeat that
project.
The most important episode in his
career on the bench was the part he
played in the decision as to the con.
stitutionality of the income tax. JUS
tice Jackson's illness prevented his
sitting at the first hearing. The de.
cision of the court was announced
April 8, 1895. Two provisions of the
law, the taxation of rents and of
State and municipal bonds were de-
clared unconstitutional by vote of 6
to 2. The income tax, as a whole, was
upheld, but only by tie vote.
AS soon as the decision became
known protests were sent in from ev.
cry quarter. Lawyers declared that
the court had not made so great an er-
ror in judgment since the Dred Scott
case. A rehearing was demanded by
the people, and was granted early in
May.
Justice Jackson was able to be pres
ent at this hearing, the time having
been fixed to suit his convenience. It
was expected that, with the full court,
the former decision would be reversed
in part or wholly. The ablest lawyers
in the country, including Joseph I'll.
Choate, were engaged by those who
were opposed to the income tax law.
The decision was rendered May 90.
Between the hearing and the decision
the interest OF every one concerned
centered in Justice Jackson, because
it was thought that any change in the
first decision would have to be made
by his vote. When Chief Justice Full
Ter announced the finding of the court
it was seen that one Of the justices,
believed to be Justice Shiras, had
changed his vote. Justice Jackson
upheld the constitutionality of the
law, and had the other members off
the court retained their previous opin-
ions, the law would have been upheld
by a vote OF 5 to 4. AS it was, the law
was declared unconstitutional by 5 to
4. This was Justice Jackson's last ap-
pearanoe on the supreme bench.

The Scheme That Was Bafled.

BY releasing the State Central Com
mittee from the control of a faction and
placing it under the orders of the peo-
pie the Democrats OF Missouri have
forestalled movement by which the
FrancisMaffitt faction expected to
make the party machinery in this State
subsidiary to the goldbug programme
next year. Early conventions in the
Eastern States, including those hereto
fore Democratic, with strong ''sound
money" platforms and an ingenious
straddle of the silver question. will be
relied upon by the goldbugs to snuff
out the enthusiasm of advocates OF BIZ
metallism in the West and South. 10
prevent the success of this programme.
early conventions in the Western and
Southern States are absolutely neces-
sary. 1t is in this view of the case
that the reorganization of the State
Central Committee assumes the high
est Importance. In the campaign
which is to determine for this genera
ton and the next whether bimetallism
or the single gold standard shall pre-
vail in this country, the Democrats OF
Missouri, instead of submitting to the
dictation of coterie of patronage
brokers and place hunters and their
followers, will lead the procession
