THE CROSS AND THE SPECTRE.
The clans of ancient Scotland were
assembled by means of a fiery cross.
A light cross Of wood was charred at
its point, and the flame extinguished
in the blood of a goat. This cross was
sent to the villages and homes of the
clan, with only the name of the rally
ing point and every n was bound un-
der a fearful penalty to obey the sign.
The call was swift and certain.
"When fits the cross from man TO man.
Rich alpine summons to his clan,
Burst be the ear that fails to heed,
Palsled the foot that shuns to speed"
Out of the desolate homes of this
stricken land the has gone
forth. 1t is the gaunt spectre of want
and poverty. 1t tells of strong men
Stript OF the privilege and opportunity
to labor, of agonizing women and cry
ing children without clothes, food and
shelter and the keen edge of a pitiless
winter upon them. 1t is sent back and
forth from mountain to plain, from the
city to the country, bearing on its skele.
ton breast the single word, Ballot
Box" And there the pinched and tat.
tered sons of toll will gather to bury in
oblivion of the ages the cause of all
their woes-Democracy.

civil war and the placing of the United
States treasury in the grip of a syndi.
cate of foreign bankers, which memo
rize the present consti-
tute a record that Col. Watterson well
knows the voting masses will condemn
with an unanimity of feeling and force
of emphasis, which compared to the
revolution of last year, will be as the
sweep of a Rocky Mountain twister 10
the sigh of n summer zephyr. Hence
these prophecies.
In the logic and philosophy with
which this peerless wizard of the pen
embellishes the editorial page of the
Courier Journal from day to day, he
has virtually over and over again, con
coded that the Democratic party is
rapidly Fastening to a final dissolution
that the tragedy sis on" in which
"the slaughter house" and 1.-THE open
grave" are the leading features
He says 1.-THE entire South is in a
state of political incertitude, its soli-
darity gone, and gone forever, with
Kentucky itself at this moment hang
ing in the balance
This little culling shows the line of
reflections on the political situation.
Col. Watterson may be as erratic as u
comet whilst brilliant as the sun, yet
when he puts his energies to earnest
work no man can outstrip him in run
ming down a live, active, solid all
through fact.

1T is not strange that the hustlers

spirit and pride, who own well cult
waited and well kept farms, nice homes,
well filled barns, first class stock, fine
orchards, have a comfortable bank &C

should all favor good roads and are
willing to be taxed to build them. They
have a keen PERCEPTION of our public
requirements, and their selfishness. if
it can be so called, ia of that intelligent
order as to teach them that the perma

a very marked success of an intelligent

miserable makeshift now in vogue is
the costliest and most unsatisfactory
one that could be devised. But the
advocates of good roads are not to be
baffled, they are in for the whole en-
gagement and are amply prepared for
the heavy work before them.

CHERRY GRO VIZ.

recently purchased of Mr.. Hargis.

have been with stock. The sore throat

bushels of fine appless. Mrs. J. S.
Howard and daughter, Mrs. J. w.
Brown, called at our place the 23rd to
visit the sick. Corn huskings are now
in order and the way that Jack frost

DEATH AND LIFE.
The flowers they are dying;
The autumn breeze is signing;
And the time is very brief
Till "the sere and yellow leaf"
win be drifting everywhere.
And the pail will be outspread
On the summers glorious dead,
And the landscapes brown and bare,
Sombre skies and wintry air,
Melancholy everywhere.
Thus the gliding seasons go,
Natures death and then its glow,
Sad November's wall and gloom,
Joyous May in burst of bloom,
Resurrection everywhere.
Frozen lakes and songless streams
Then fair as a Peri's dream;
Shrouds of snow upon the plain
Then dancing plumes, waving grain
And floods of life everywhere.

religious congresses, opens up a question
of more Importance than the sectarian
school question, the Cahensley movement
or the other issues which have been pre-
sented of recent years. 1t is said that the
Pope'S opposition TO religious congresses
does not affect the Catholic church alone,
but has bearing on the entire movement
toward Christian unity, which began in
England and has spread through this coun-
try. The purpose of this movement was to
harmonize and unity all divergent sects on
nonessentials, bringing them together on the
one essential tenet of Christianity. There
has been division of opinion as TO whether
the Catholic Church could enter into this
plan of unity. An eminent Catholic preached
a series Of sermons in Washington, showing
that there was but one plan or unity possi-
Bile, and that was the return of all sects to
the Catholic Church. Other Catholics have
taken more liberal view and this broader
sentiment found expression In the attend
ance OF Cardinal Gibbons at the congress Of
religions at Chicago. At the time Mgr Sa-
tolli was In Chicago. but took no part in
the congress. The Cardinals paper and sub
sequent magazine article, showing the COM
mon. grounds on which all sects might
stand, attracted much attention.
The language of the Pope's letter is said
TO leave no room for doubt as TO the posi-
ton Of Rome on the holding of congresses
on the broader question of church unity, as
the following direct statement makes clear:
but although these promiscuous conven-
ti0ns have, unto this day, been tolerated
seem more advisable that Catholics should
hold their conventions separately" 1t is
said that this statement is so direct as not
to be oren to Interpretation, and doubt Is
expressed as TO the very liberal interpreta-
ton placed by Archbishop Ireland on such
a clear statement from the Pope. 1t is be-
lieved, also, that IL there is any misunder-
standing or broad Interpretation given 10
the Popes language he will speedily issue
a second letter, as he did when the Knights
of Pythias letter was literally construed.
