AT OCEAN GROVE.
Saints and Sinners Lifting Their
Voices i'm Prayer and Praise.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
OCEAN GROVE, N. j., August PC, 1897.
The annual camp meeting is now at its
very height. From early morn until well
toward midnight anthems of praise and
shouts of rejoicing going up from the
lips of saints and repenting sinners. Neither
rain nor any other thing prevents the
thousands of campers who are packed into
the town from attending most of the eleven
daily services. These people come to Ocean
Grove to attend camp meeting, and it
makes but little difference what service il
is, whether it is at sunrise or at 10 o'clock
at night. the crowds are always on hand.
The heavy rain which fell one or two
mornings did not prevent the worshipers
from getting out in large numbers to the
sunrise conservation meeting to prepare
themselves for the subsequent services OF
the day. As the encampment draws toward
the close, the enthusiasm of the people
wakes greater. Religious fervor is heighten-
ing rapidly With every meeting, and to-
morrow, which is called Camp Sunday"
will see the series of meetings at its very
elimination. Tomorrow will be the last
big day Of the camp and the most interest
ing feature of the program will be the
love feast at $50 o'clock The service will
be introduced by a general all-around hand
shake, everybody shaking his neighbors
hand. Then will come the testimonies from
the people who have been helped during
the meetings. Last year there were speak
erS from every state in the Union and from
several foreign countries. The utmost in
Formally prevails at this love feast. Often
a dozen a score of people are speaking
at ofsge and many sing their testimonies.
All in all the feast is the most unique
service of the whole year in Ocean Grove.
In some respects, however, this years
camp has not come up to the expectation
of the leaders. The crowds haves been
here; but although the enthusiasm has
been high, it has so far hardly reached its
usual elevation. Some people are inclined
to attribute this change. in a measure at
least, to the absence of DR.. Stokes, the
late president, who had the power of work
ing on the emotions of the multitude with
singular effectiveness. Several hundred
conversions are already reported. but the
number will hardly reach the 1000 mark.
which has been about the usual harvest of
late years. The leaders of the various
meetings will make one more grand con-
certed effort tomorrow to bring the unsaved
to the mourners' bench. The encampment
will end at noon Tuesday. At that hour,
as the bell tolls three times, the camp Will
be declared closed lin the name of the
Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost" \

An Impeached Accuser.

Senator Tillman, of South Carolina,
has. with much sound and fury, de-
manded that the Senate investigate
itself as to the charges that some of
it's members have protited through Sc.
cret knowledge of the work of the
Finance Committee on the tariff by
speculation in sugar stock Without
discussing at all the question as to
whether another sugar investigation
is needed, or whether it would not
prove as futile as the one of three
years ago, it can be pointed out that
Mr. Til!man is the very last member
of the Senate who can properly de-
nounce his associates and assume the
role of righteous inquisitor For
Mr. Tillman is himself accused Of vic.
Iation of the law Of his own State,
and has in effect pleaded guilty
The Dispensary law of South Caro-
lima, with the enactment and admin
istrat:on Of which Mr.. TilIman, as
Governor, had much to do, has given
birth to a cloud Of charges Of COR
ruptior, in which Tillman is directly
accused of sharing This law de-
clares to be "nuisances'' all places
where intoxicants are given away,
and prescribes penalty for those
who keep such nuisances Of fine Of
not less than 5000 and Imprisonment
Of not less than six months in the
county Jail Tillman himself has
made the following authorized ad-
mission
Samples (of liquor) were sent in
great quantities when l was connect
ed with the diepenssry x
They were freely distributed
among the visitors to the institution
! carried some to my house and used
them, as did Gov Evans, and l pre-
sumo the present State Board of Con.
troll have done likewise, and | have
no apology to make for it
This defiant confession moves the
Charleston News and Courier to pro-
nounce Mr.. Tillman guilty of the fol-
lowing violations of the law:
First, in maintaining common
nuisance, that is, a place where in
tcxicatipg liquors are given away.
Second. by keeping in his house,
alcoholic liquors, without certificate
that they had been tested by the
State chemist and found to be pure.
Third, keeping in his house alcoholic
liquors without the certificate going
to show that they were purchased
from State officer authorized to sell
the same.
Upon each of these counts, if con-
victed, Mr.. Tillman would be COM
PEELED to pay fine and to go to Jail.
There is demand in South Carolina
that the Senator come home and face
these charges but he discreetly re-
mains in Washington and rants in the
Capitol His oratory has about it a
flavor of violence that could be ftly
eliminated by the discipline of
turnkey. The Senate can take care of
it's own honor What is the Senator
from South Carolina going to do about
his? He who arraigns his fellow men
should be sure that the skirts cf his
own toga are clear The clustering
Tilman should look after the beam in
his own eye.-N. Y Mail and Ex-
prees.
