AS the mail train ofthe Pensacola and
Atlantic division of the louisville and
Nashville Railway was bowling along
between Bombay and Caryville, Flor
ida, Thursday night, some heavy
object struck the headlight, smashing
the glass and knocking the burner of
the lamp. The oil caught fire, and in
stantly the front of the engine was in
flames. The engineer was alarmed
and reversed the lever so suddenly that
the cars bumped together with great
force. injuring several passengers and
derailing the engine. By hard work
the flames were extinguished, and then
the engine was examined. 1t was
found that a buzzard had struck the
headlight and caused the trouble.
The bird was found wedged in the
headlight, with its feathers burned off,
and thoroughly cooked. The accident
cost the railroad several hundred dol
lars and traffic was delayed for FIVE

complaint of the boisterous behavior of
a number of young men residents Of
Fairfax county, who spend the even
ings in.this city and the adjacent sum-
mer resorts in hilarious living until

home after that hour make night hid
eous with ribald songs, yells, cat calls
and numerous pistol shots which they
restrain until incorporated limits are
behind them. On old soldier says that
it seems as if war had been revived and
Mosby was again on q raid. This is

neither Spain, to which Cuba belongs,
nor the white people of Cuba who have
any material interest in the welfare OF
that island, would have it free. The
Cuban insurrectionists are negroes,

the murders and robberies and arsons
they are now committing. When the

The Richest Nation in the World.


N. Y. Press:
No American citized has reason for
one moment to fear for the credit of
the Anne rican Government. A quar-
ter of century of Republican con-
structive craftsmanship has fortified
the national credit so securely that
not even the disgraceful incompetency
of the Cleveland Administration can
shake it. In spite of all the disaster
brought upon this country by Demo-
cratic misgovernment, the United
States is today the riches nation in
the world, and its public debt, even
though it should be unfortunately in
creased by several hundreds of mil
lions, would be light burden in COM
parison with the Indebtedness of more
than three hundreds of millions of
dollars which Great Britain owes to-
dav. Even with the additions made
by Mr.. Cleveland, the interest bear
ing dept of this country is only about
seven hundred millions. With the
enormous material resources OF the
American Republic back of the
plighted faith of the government,
there can be no doubt as to the high
value of United States bonds as an
investment, and there should be no
alarm among business men respecting
the integrity of the national currency.

Reply to s.

repeat what have said before, that
Christians are not perfect. No human
being is. All are liable to mistakes.
There has never been but one perfect life
that was safe for us to follow in all par
ticulars and that was the life of Jesus.
His is our ideal and all true Christians
are trying to follow that ideal with more
or less success. Christianity as exempli-
fled in the life of Jesus does not teach big
otry, oppression, intolerance, selfishness,
nor wrong doing of any kind. When
ever persons show these traits it is be-
cause they lack this element in their
characters. The religion of Jesus teach
es whatsoever We would that men should
do to you, do We even so to them" 1t
was the Christian element in the Pilgrim
character that wished to commend and
emulate and not what they lacked. Like
all other persons they had their faults
but history has placed their religious de-
votion and their virtues so far aoove the
reach of skeptcism and infidelitY that the
world takes no heed Of these attacks and
their praises will be rehersed in song and
story long after mankind has ceased 10
know that such persons as IS" or
s'Vox" ever lived. These attacks remind
me of the story of the dog that barked at
the moon. 1t did not disturb the moon
but it amused the dog. If l wanted TO

Or If | should select lot of counterfeit
money without gain of good metal in
it, and say this is our currency, this is a
sample of our gold and silver money,
could any honest man say that such con-
duct was honest, just and manly ? This
is just what 49, is doing. He has select
ed the poorest and meanest examples he
could find or persons without particle
of Christianity, counterfeits, hypocrites
and holds them up before the readers of
the SITTER as representing Christianity.
There are plenty of such persons in the
world but they are not the representatives
of the Christian religion. He has moth
