A BRIGHT STAR DIMMED.

The death Of ex-Speaker Crisp re-
moves from the field of National poll
tics one of Americas brightest minds.
He was gifted orator, keen parlia-
mentariHn, an eminent statesman and
above all an honest man.
He was the idol of the people of
Georgia who loved and trusted him.
They honored him by repeatedly
electing him to the House of Repre-
sentatives and had he lived until the
meeting Of the Georgia Legislature
he would have been elected United
States Senator to succeed General
John Is. Gordon.
Mr.. Crisp was an incorporating
advocate of the principles of Democ-
racy as expounded by Jefferson and
jackson. His keen mind was quick
to sec the heresies Grover Cleveland
sought to embody in the Democratic
creed and he repudiated them with
all the force Of his great intellect.
His last active appearance in poll
tics was in canvassing tho State of
Georgia for, delegates to the Demo-
cratic National convention. Here he
was opposed by all the influences Of
Cleveland's ADMINISTRATION. but undis-
mayed he joined hands with the
silver forces and Georgia sent solid
silver delegation to Chicago.
Although his health has not per-
mitted him to take an active part in
the campaign, his party has had the
benefit Of his wise counsel. He stood
sQuarely on the Chicago platform and
favored the election OF Bryan and
Sewall.
His death has forever dim
med one Of the brightest stars Of
American craftsmanship. His loss will
be keenly felt in Georgia and through
out the whole country. A nation
mourns when great man dies such
man was Charles F.. Crisp.

'SPAIH AlST STHD ANE.
European Powers win Not Intervene in the
Cuban Matter.
In Case Of Trouble with the United States
Spain Would Receive No Assistance
from Other Powers.

MADRID, March 30.-It is stated in
diplomatic circles here that the Spanish
foreign Office has been informed by its
ambassadors in the principal European
courts that Spain is not likely to re-
ceive more than purely platOnic sym
pathy even from the French govern
ment in a conflict with the United
States.
The Spanish representatives in all the
European courts have discovered that
it is absolutely absurd to hope that any
European government would actin con-
cert to support Spain even by friendly
mediation or moral influence. They
have also discovered that both the
foreign governments and the whole
European public wonder why Spain
does not Immediately give Cuba and
Porto Rico colonial autonomy and self
government, such as England has given
to Canada, in order to disarm the
ssoessionists in Cuba and to conciliate
American sympathies.
Another army corps, it has been de.
cided, is to be sent to Cuba in May
It will consist of 10000 infantry, 5,OOC
cavalry and 1000 artillery.
The war Office reports that the deaths
in one year among the Cuban forces
amount to more than 1000

guised in form, have as their ultimate
goal and object the adding of snOtheE

HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF.

For nearly a quarter of a century
prior to 1856 the anti-slaVery discussion
was slowly cutting its way into the ranks
of the wing and democratic parties.
The two organizations were divided on
the tariff and on the offices, just as the
two parties are to-day, but within their
lines were abolition wings and pro-
slavery wings, anti-slavery democrats
and pro.slsVery democrats. Vain at
tempts we're made TO compromise the
issue, but the slavery question would
not down. Needless of protests, the
slave power, which dominated both
parties and the country, just as the
gold power does to-day, continued by
its aggression to arouse the indignant
opposition of the people. Finally there
came tins when snti-slaveTy wings
and a1ti-slsvery democrats recognized
slavery as the paramount issue, and
ignoring ali other questions came to-
gether on a common platform of oppo-
sition to slavery. William Il. Seward
as a representative Whig and Salmon
P. Chase as a representative democrat,
stood side by side in the new organiza-
ton and that was the republican party.
It's first presidential candidate was
John C. Fremont. The second was
Abraham Lincoln and he vas elected,
Since 1873 the silver question has
been cutting its way into the republi-
can and democratic parties. Both or
CARNATIONS are bOpelessly divided on
the issue and it has reached point
where Rold-bug republicans vote for a
gOld-bug democrat in order to sustain
the defeat Of a silver democrat, and q
democratic gold-bug administration
prevents the election Of silver demo
erat and prefers a gold bug republican
as witness the late senatorial contest in
Kentucky.

and republican parties as true to their
principles as were the anti-slavery men

Part in the Rebellion.
CAPE Town, March 29.-The Matabele
of the Inzza and Filabusa districts
have revOlted and massacred the white
settlers, including Commissioner Bent
ly. The fugitive whites ore focking to
Buluwayo and Gwelo for protection. A
detachment of troopers with a Maxim
gun we're dispatched against the native
forces, but we're driven back with some
loss.
The Matabele towns are rapidly pre-
pairing their defences and enrolling
volunteers. Serious trouble is antici-
psted.
CAPE Town, March 3O.-The situation
in Matebeleland, where the natives are
in rebellion, is most serious, though
the prompt action Of the British and
settlers is having a good effect. The
graVest fears are entertained for the
safety Of 1000 settlers, mainly women
and children, ia the lager in the ViUin-
ity Of which a strong force Of Mata-
beles have been reported. The settlers
have only sufficient provision to last a
short time. One of the gravest
features of the uprising is that ii
is now admitted that the native
police have been induced not only to
take part in the rebellion, but to in
duCe the various tribes they we're sup,
posed to control to also rise against
the whites. It is also estimated that in
this manner 700 we'll trained fighting
men, armed with modern rifles and
well supplied with ammunition, have
gone over TO the enemy. For obvious
reasons the authorities are Withhold
ing many facts connected with the up.
rising, which there is no doubt is far
more serious than at first believed.

of to-day. That rising is what is max
ing strong the course Of the cOntroll-
ing mass among the creatures who fit
about upon this particular planetary
crust, and who have a belief in their
own immortality. Had the more pot
ent portion of humanity not accepted
Christ as risen, there would have been
some other belief, some other hope and
graspiug for afterdeath welfare among
the inhabitants Of this enc among the
millions and billions of planets revolv-
ing in all space. The rising completed
the Christian story. The Son had gone
to the father as an emissary, forever
pleading in behalf Of the creature we
call man, Himself a man, He went back
to heaven TO be ever our Ambassador.
And SO tits that throughout the Christ
ian world it is the sweetest of all hope
full days, this anniversary of that day
when Christ assembled to His own
again.
What matters it that learned skeptics
say that Easter is but the adoption to
Christian use of an ancient holiday in
Qualification over life and spring and
the birth Of all things. It matters not
what the beliefs or legends we're be-
fore, since we accept the story Of the
Child of Bethlehem, and stake our fu-
ture upon the promise Of the man
grown who died for US. The heather
legends Of the early man are but as
nothing, whether the Son of the Ruler
Of the Universe came to US nearly 1900
years ago or yesterday. We accept
the belief and We are happy in Easter
day.
It is wonderful and very sweet, the
thought Of that morning when the
gentle, murdered Man, who was both
Man and God, felt from the father the
quickening pulse and knew that His
awful trial was over and that the world
had been redeemed.
It was of all mornings the most beau.
tiful, if We may judge from the weak
human story, or if We judge from our
own conception Of what it must have
been. The gloom Of night was dissf
pating, the Fighter haze Of morn was
apparent upon the far distant Judesn
hills, though there was darkness in the
valley still.
But in an instant, just as the morn,
ing broke, all changed. There was &
rustling Of wings, the wings Of angels
in the semi-darkness; the huge stone
which filed the entrance Of that cavern
tomb rolled away as lightly as it were
something the wind might lift. There
was a sudden light about the place
and, at the same moment, above the
far eastern hills, the sun, earth's light
and one of Gods ownings, flung forth
million brilliant banners. It wa;
day, And, just as day came, went from
earth the Son who is pleading for u;
| with the Father.
It's very sweet and wonderful, the
story of this Easter day, one of the
greatest observed in our religion. Il
is the day recognized as full of all hope
and promise. It is beautiful in the
manner of its observance, with its flow
ers and its ringing anthems and will
its atmosphere Of the spFingtime anC
of faith and courage. 1t is blessed
this Easter day.-Stanley Waterloo.
