 The Advertiser says 1t "presumes" that Gov. Johnston will take the oath of off, flee in front of the capitol, where all the Governors have heretofore been sworn in. It would appear from the word pre- sume" that the old lady is not as thick with the new Governor as she used to De with the old ones. It makes us ''laf' to think about such thing. We will have a Governor in the old rookery on the hlll next year who won't consult the old girl about every move he. is going to make. Then, again, we "presume," we won't see as much in her columns as we have seen during the past four years preced- ing this administration about the great big, glorious, gallant manly Governor on the hill. Well, we guess Gov. Joe can stand 1t if the people can. But, since we have come to think about it, not more than half as many people would see 1t as formerly, for they do tell us that there has been powerful shrinkage in the subscription list of a certain morning paper published at the capital-Selma Times.

JUST A SAMPLE.

As an evidence that in the recent elec- tion the wage earners won a great ana glorious victory CD we site the conduct of the Pullman Car company corporation, Since the strike in 1894 quite number of the old employees of the Pullman com pany. at Pullman have secured houses other than the houses erected and owned by the company in which to live, some of them had been purchased and partial navments made, while others had only been rented. Prior to the recent elec- tion the company cut down the working force pretty considerably alleging as a reason for so doing, that on account or the silver agitation business was dull and they had no demand for their products. The company was careful in each instance to see that the men laid off were men who were not renting houses from the Pullman company. Since the election and the return of confidence and prosperity the Pullman company has decided to in crease the force and now proposes that the men submit to a reduction or 10 per cent. and live in the company's houses. These are the conditions on which the men who were not laid off can retain their positions and the conditions on which those who were laid off until return of confidence and good times can come back.

tunate in resoufces in 1900 as they have been in 1S96.-Cincinnati Enquirer, Dem- Ocrat

Senator Sawyer is a veteran. His polit- ical life began over forty years ago. Dur ing that time he has seen many victories won by his party, and he has seen the fruits of some of those victories thrown away by inexeusable errors. Therefore, he is moved to observe that Reason and moderation in the hour of victory are prime necessities, and this Is the lesson I would hold up after this election" That. lesson was not held up after the victory of 1888. Reason and moderation were not remembered in 1890 and the result was a. bad defeat in the fall of that year. and another in 1892. The republicans will bea wiser next year than they were six years ago.-Chicago Tribune, Republican.

 STATES FOR BRYAN.

lOlAI.. -. ..''....'.''. ....'''' .'...''Ai . McKinley's majority ........ .......... 9f
 Of the A states it will be seen that MT Bryan carried 21 and MT Mckinley car ried 22, while in Kentucky MT. Bryan se- cured one of the 13 electoral votes. The popular plurality for Mckinley was somewhere about s00000 This is the largest plurality ever returned for presidential candidate but when the whole number of votes returned as hav- ing been boiled in the election is taken into consideration it will be seen that the popular vote in favor of Mckinley in proportion to the whole number of votes returned as cast is not larger than was Tilden's plurality over Hayes in 1876.
 It is also well enough to bear in mind that if we eliminate New York, .Pennsyl- vania, and two or three other eastern states. it will be found that Mir Bryan has a plurality over Mckinley in the remaining states. It was in the east thai the large plurality was piled up for Me Kinley, and when the truth comes to the surface as 1t is bound to do, it will be seen that the count and not the actual vote boiled in the middle western states is responsible for MT. Bryans defeat.

 GOV. JOHNSTON ACTED WISELY
 We think Gov. Johnston has acted wisely in not wanting the state troops carried to Montgomery on inauguration day. There has been too much of that kind of foolishness in the past. Entirely too much of the states money mas peen spent in gaudy display on inauguration day. If the state has any money to throw away, let 1t be given to the boys on occasions of encampments when they can enjoy it to their hearts content.

He is friend of the state troops, and will show it before his ad- ministration is over with. The state ing because he did not get chance to go to Montgomery on that occasion.

CAUSE OF UNBELlEF.
REV. mp. OLLIE SAYS THAT 1T Is
LACK OF KNOWLEDGE.
study OF the scriptures-How It should
He Prosecuted - Scholars and
Bible.

Rev. DR.. Ollie delivered an able
lecture at the First M. L. Church
Monday evening on the subject Of
"Bible Study" In spite of the
bad weather a fair sized audience
listened to the discourse, which con
tinued more than half hour.
The preacher said that Christ en-
dorsed the Bible from beginning to
end. In his teaching he frequently
dwelt upon Deuteronomy, Isaiah
and the Psalms. The first was
perhaps sanctioned for one reason,
that it was the book to be assailed
by the higher critics OF the world.
The cause of agnosticism and
skepticism was want of knowl-
edge of the Bible. The more men
know Of it the more firmly they be-
lieve in it. Men knew literature.
They followed it through its end
less rainifications; so they knew
science and law. Yet very few lit
erary lights could place the $50
beautiful scriptural illusions to be
found in Shakespeare, and the hum
dreds more to be found in other
standard warks.
The first cause of unbelief was
ignorance Of the word of God.
Men of arts and letters and stud
ents knew surprisingly little of the
Bible. Here the preacher gave
number of amusing in
cidents in substantiatiou of his
point. He said Moody possessed
more knowledge of the Bible than
1000 ordinary preachers. 1t was
this knowledge aud not his literary
ability, that made him so great
success.
The divine closed his address with
valuable instruction on reading.
Anything read should be committed
to memory. What was not worth
remembering was not worth read
ing. The Bible should be studied,
not skinned over.
