It is not whether international ball
snces of trade shall be paid in shin
ing gold that worries the English or
Continental banker. These balances
are due from individual tradesmen to
individual trsdesmen and they would
have no difficulty in adapting their
business strictly to an interchange OF
products if they had a fsir chance
and were not embarrassed by tariff
laws. What concerns the English
and Continental banker is that his
government, state, municipal and
corporation bonds, and real estate se-
curities ia this country shall be paid
in gold. Will the American people
never "catch on" to the schemes OF
these foreign spoilers and their asso-
ciate robbers on this side of the

SOME MORE UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW.

Two years ago. the Legislature Of
Missouri enacted a law prohibiting
corporations from dischsrging en-
ployes because they were members
of labor organizations. The law pre-
sCribed the penalty for the discharge
of men for this cause to be a fine OF
from $50 to $1,000 and six months
imprisonment. The supreme court
has now decided this law "u-n.c-o n
s-t-i.t.u-t-i-o-n.s-l." What wonder
full instruments these constitutions
are. The supreme courts are discov-
ering new meanings in them every
day that have been concealed all the
years since their adoption and never
before suspected to exist These
discoveries beat the "Great Cryptic

MILITARY TENDEECIES.
Our Military Schools and Our Fourth Of
July.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-There are two
subjects which 1 purpose discussing, to
some extent, Sin this article, and if l can
succeed in causing q considerable num-
Der of the people to give them an earn
est consideration, I shall think that I
am well repaid.
The growing tendency in this coun.
try toward q military system is some
thing calculated to arouse the appre-
tensions of all thinking, patriotic cit
izens. The latest step in this direC-
tion is the attempt to make military
training part Of the instruction given
in our colleges and public schools.
This movement has developed very
recently and is now being rapidly ex'
tended over the entire country. 1t has
already been introduced into many Of
our colleges and other institutions Of
learning, and now an attempt is being
made to introduce it into our public
schools. In the course Of study for
our normal Institutes, this summer,
under the head Of physical culture we
find instructions given concerning the
eVolutiOns and movements of the mill
tsry drill. Why is this SOP Some win
urge metaphysical culture must not be
neglected; granted, but why is it nee
essary to resort to any form Of the mil
itsry tacticsP Have all other modes
of exercise utterly failed to meet
the requirements in the csseP
To me it looks as though this innoVa-
tion was intended to be the first step,
or the entering wedge, for what is to
follow. The idea seems to be to fa-
miliarize our people with military
training in our public schools and to
cultivate q love for it among our
school children.
1t is the teaching Of history that
when designing men wish to over
throw the liberties Of the people and
with this end in view seek to establish
innovations and agencies which shall
help the accomplishment Of their pur-
poses, they have recourse to strong acts
and cunningly devised schemes which
they try to disguise under popular
names. 1t is the surest method to
adopt, for the reason that the people
are then likely to fail to perceive the
dangers concealed in these things.
1t has been said that the people Of
no country can be enslaVed where
churches and school houses are scat
tered throughout the land. But the
enemies of liberty will seek some way
to accomplish their designs. Our plu-
tocrstic conspirstors dare not attempt
to destroy our free,school system, or in
any manner interfere with the free
dom of religious worship. They well
know that such a move on their part
would at once unmask their designs
and arouse such indignation as would
forever thwsrt their purposes. What
they dare not attempt to overthrow or
directly interfere with, they try to con-
troll in such manner as to make it to a
greater or less extent subserVient to
their aims.
They are quietly introducing into our
textbooks the plutocrstic definition Of
the nature and functions of money.
Under the guise of patriotism, they are
trying to introduce military training

stitutions Of learning, and an attempt
Is even being made TO introduce it intC
our Sunday schools, What can bt
urged in excuse for this movements
Where is the danger from without OF
within that calls for such q radical in
novation9 We are threatened by nc
foreign foes, and If we are afraid Of
our own people, then let Us boldly pro
claim to the world that the great prob.
lem of self.government by the people
has proved an utter failure, and let us
at once quit masquerading in the liV
cry of democracy.
All Of our teachings and traditions Of
the past have been opposed to the idea
of making this a military natiOn, Oul
people have been taught to look upor
wars with diafaVor, and to love and tC
cultivate the arts Of peace; and yet
Notwithstanding these facts, our states
men keep strangely silent in the pres
ence of this threatened danger. Nei
ther is a military government in &C
cordanCe with the principles an(
teachings Of Christianity, and yet WI
hear no synod, assembly, or conference
of any kind, making q protest against
it, or even expressing doubt as to the
propriety Of such q practice, and nei
ther do our leading clergymen, either
in or out Of the pulpit, express any
opinion on the subject. Are we to un'
derstand by this remarkable silence
that they approve Of such things In ouI
schools and churchesP And when we
recollect that an attempts is being made
to nstionalize the militia in all ouI
states, and transfer the control Of it tC
the federal government; in view Of all
these things, are there not reasons fol
our alsrmg
There is yet another subject to which
1 desire to call attention, as It appears
to have a deep significance. In times
past we have been accustomed to see
the anniversary Of the day Of our ma
tional independence duly honored and
observed. Like our fathers before us,
we have loved to hear told the story Of
Lexington and Bunker Hill; and, like
them, we have learned to love ant
cherish the sublime truths Of our i'm
mortal Declaration Of Independence
But during recent years there seems to
be but little enthusiasm among th'
higher and Wealthier classes of oul
people over the celebration of this an
niverssry day. There seems to be 6
studied attempt on the part Of large
number Of these classes to abandon
this old, time-honored custom, and tt
allow it quietly to fall into disuse. But
in trying to bring this about, our plu
tocratic friends dare not work openly
AS in the case Of military training il
our public schools, they make use o
an insidiouS, stealthy process, in orde
to blind the people as to their real pur
pose. In the case Of the schools, the,
proceed like the algebraist to eliminst
a quantity from the equation by add
ton and subtraction. In trying to ge
rid Of Fourth Of July celebrations the!
also initiate the algebraist, but thi
time it is elimination by substitution

CORPORATIONS.
The Article on That Subject Completed by the Convention and Sent to a Third
 Reading.

Columbia, S. C.. Nov. 12.-The consti- tutional convention spent the day dis cussing articles of corporations A sec tion was adopted putting railroad enl- ployes on plane with the progress in re- ceiving damages for injuries when such injuries resulted from the negligence of a superior officer. Knowledge. by the efil- ploye of the unsafe character or condition be no defense. No agreement signed by the employees to exempt the corpora tion from damages shall be valid. The convention closed the day considering a proposition to make the stockholders of all investment corporations liable for the stock they hold and such an amount over and above as may be fixed by the general assembly.
 At the very long night session the con vention completed the article on corpora tions and sent 1t to third reading. The heaviest fights were made on the ques- tion of the liability of stockholders of in- solvent banks and other corporations, and on the question of refusing to allow railroads to ship at released" contract rates. The convention in regard to the latter matter passed a section prohib- iting the roads from using the "released" rate system. In regard to the former the stockholders are to Ee held responsible for the stock and an amount sufficient to cover all the deposits in the case of banks and to satisfy all indebtedness in the case of other corporations.

 in the World.

In the Auburn-Vanderbilt football game at Nashville last Saturday Connell. one of the Vanderbilt players, kicked the ball from the thirty yard line, which the Nashville American claims was the long, est ever made in the south. It seems that the American has not kept up with rec ords in that line made in the past Man. ager Sid B. Jones of the Birmingham Athletic football team, having his atten- tion called to the article, addressed the following letter to the American:
 Birmingham. Nov. II. The Nashville American, Nashville. Tenn Dear Sirs: I notice in your issue of Sunday, November 10, in report of the Auburn Vanderbilt game, played in Nashville Saturday, reference Is made to Councils great drop kick for a goal from the thirty-yard line, which was the sec ond of its kind ever made on the Wander bilt gridiron, and. so far as known, the only two that have ever been made in the south.
 In a game between the Birmingham Athletic club and University of Alabama on the Birmingham Athletic club grounds at Birmingham. Ala November 12, 1892, J. P. Ross, playing full back for us made goal from the sixty-five-yard line, win nlng the game by score of to 4. This kick was not assisted by the wind in the least. and is the longest on record in the world
 Yale, think it was. some time after wards in a game with Princeton, made a goal from the fifty-yard line and claimed the worlds record for it, but college paper published at Vanderbilt or Sewanee q have forgotten which now) backed up Ross kick. The New York papers and a great many of the principal papers in the United States contained an account of 1t at the time. Yours truly,
