A PREACHER IN POLITICS.

At prayer-meeting last Wednes-
day night at Dalton school house,
in Randolph county, Ark, the Rev.
James A. Hogart in the course of
his sermon said to his congregation,
that anybody who will vote for free
silver ought to be pitched into hell
headforemost." This was rather
violent language for minister of
the meek and lowly Jesus, but act
ing upon his suggestion and with
out waiting for voting day, his whole
congregation Immediately precipi-
tated themselves into hell, and for
awhile free-for-all fight taxed the
free silver forces to their utmost.
The Rev. Hogart has worked up Il
Fictitious madness, but there is
method in it. If it could be possible,
by wild stretch of the imagination,
to suppose that the Rev. Hogart
could blush, he is determined not
to blush unseen, and if by the pro-
cess of the highest chemical analy-
sis it could be ascertained that the
soul of the Rev. Hogart contained
one atom of sweetness, he is de-
termined that it shall not all be
wasted on the desert air. He, no
doubt, dreams that these big, rich,
gold standard fellows need the grace
of Gods Gospel to sugar-coat their
distasteful medicine, and he adver-
tises himself in this loud voice as a
man after their own heart, in the
hope that they may rescue him from
the dim obscurity of country
church, and save him from the
poverty of wayside parish.
Now, these men of money, these
men of gold money, these men of
"sound money''-not only of sound
money, but Of growing money,
money that grows in value and pur-
chasing power, and places to its
own credit every year an emo rmous
unearned increment-these men OF
plenty of money should provide for
the Rev. Hogart. He is a minister
of the Gospel and inspired of the
Lord and he should not be disap-
pointed. Such talent as his should
not be allowed to blossom in the
backwoods, nor should his aroma be
allowed to lose itself in the swamps
The Rev. Hogart figured that if he
gave up his own soul, he would gain
the whole world, and if he is to be
disappointed in this, he should at
least have taste.
But this il not the only disap.
pointment in store for the Rev.
Hogart. The free silver men are
not going to be pitched into hell
We are not that kind of people, ant
the devil don't want us. If the
devil needs endorsements, it is
probable that he will have to go tC
another country, for after the No
vember election, there will not b.
found enough gold standard fellow
to form a body-guard, even though
the Rev. Hogart himself should b,
the recruiting agent.

A Model Country,

IL Iceland there are neither prisons, sol
diers, drunkenness nor police. Colonized
in S74, it soon after became independent,
and its isolated position, far away from
the beaten track of ocean commerce, has
preserved its population from many of the
vices which seem almost inseparable from
high state of commercial prosperity and
extensive intercourse with the rest of man.

THE MURDER.

Every effort should be made to
bring to justice the murderers of
Austin Rye, the negro, who was
found last Saturday night on West
Seventh street with his head split
open. 1t was bold, defiant assas-
sination. 1t gives one the creeps to
think about it. If man can do
murder at s o'clock in the evening
on the principal streets of the city
and escape detection, no citizens
life is safe and police protection is a
farce. The Mayor has offered a re-
ward of $50 for the apprehension and
conviction of the assassin and the
Governor has been asked to increase
the reward. With or without re-
ward, the police officers of this city
are expected to bring into play their
best talent; and while their zeal in
smaller matters is highly COM
mended, so much the more is ex-
pected of them is this matter of such
grave concern to every citizen.

VIM. F. HARRITY, eX-Chairman

he will have nothing more to do
with politics. He will in the future
eschew all conventions and COM

do, considering the habits and
character of men who usually con-
troll committees and conventions.

Mr.. BRYAN's attention was called
to statement published in a Chica-
go paper, that he had promised the
position of Attorney General, in the
event of his election, to Gov. Alt
geld. He Immediately dictated the
following: "In order to answer
once and for all time rumors OF
promises of places, l desire to say
that 1 have not directly or indirectly
promised any Office of any kind tC
any person whomsoever, and shall
not during the campaign promise
any Office of any kind to any per
son." This has the true ring of in
dependence. Bryan will go int
office free of strings, and untram
melted by political promises.
