THE AWAKENING OF A NATION

There is a series of papers appearing
in "Harpers' Magazine" of unusual in
terest. 1t is entitled The Awakening
Of a Nation" and is by a northern
writer of capacity. Mr.. Charles F.
Lummins. 1t is all about Mexico, and
we have followed his illumining pen
with increasing interest. The progress
in Mexico, during the presidency Of the
very able INC enterprising Diaz is most
wonderful, and equals the sudden
awakening in Japan SO well presented
in a leading Northern magazine within
a year or two. The papers of Mr.. Lum-
mis- show wide and accurate Informal
ton, and are produced after a long
residence in and great familiarity with
Mexico, its past and present. They are
indee very instructive, educative. If
you wish to see Mexico as it is we ad-
wise you to consult these papers and
you will have hope and admiration
blinded as you contemplate the facts
and behold the picture presented, all
based upon accurate data.
1t would require too much space If
we were to attempt to gather the most
edifying points of the discussion. We
have learned to estimate Presiden DiaZ
much higher. He is a very wide awake
energetic, enlightened, able, progress
Sive man. 1t has been long since our
own country has had a chief executive
of abilities and qualities at all equalling
his. A careful reading Of the articles
Will surprise you as to the marvellous
advance in railroad and canal construc-
ton, in educational advancement, in
fact, in progress in a dozen important
directions. Mexico had fine schools,
newspapers, hospitals, universities, &c
hen the United States were a wilder
ness.
In cotton milling no little has been
done. Three years g the imports on
cotton brought the government S., O0O,-
900 annually. Cotton mills lave in the
meantime sprung up. The government
receives 81, 200, 900 in taxes yearly, but
the imports come not. More mills are
building and Mexico is becoming indie
pendent. So with other things. Mr..
Lummis shows as to currency-hOw the
MeXicans make. The Mexican dollar is
the unit of value. 1t is worth a dollar
at home, but half that elsewhere.
The importer of coffee pays $35 and
sells at $40. He pays in Mexican silver
and he gets $50 in gold. Total to him
$54 or more. Mexico sells of her ex-
ports 65 per cent. to the United States.
She gets but Is per cent. of her imports
from the United States. This is rapid
ly paying off her national debt. Her
railroad building is immense. There
are twenty-seven dailies at the capital
and WeeklieS almost without count.
There are two English dailies. Mexico
is dotted all over with fine buildings,
some of elegant architecture. We have
merely glanced at a few of many points
Mexico is indeed a wonderful land and
is making ~stupendous progress.

GROWTH OF DIVORCES.

There is one evil-a great sin-that is
rapidly growing in our land, and we
regret to say that it is also rapidly
spreading in the south. We refer to
the mania for divorce, and men and
women vie with each other in the mad
ness. Strange to say that legislators
so far from seeing the danger that
turks to society in this disease of mind
and the moral nature are constantly
adding to it's force by unwise law,
broadening It's sweep by lowering the
legal bars. The ease of obtaining a
divorce is calamitous and scandalous.
God has told the children of men what
His will is in the important matter of
divorce. He has explicitly, unmiStak-
ably taught that there is but one Of
fence for which divorce is allowable.
IrreligiOus and disregardful legislators
have created many causes for divorce.
They have dismissed Jehovah out Of
the whole count. The whole country
is being vitiated and poisoned by the
divorce disease. 1t is so in all the
states except South Carolina.
The Atlanta burma says:
1T is in the m of persons not
much past middle age, when a suit for
divorce in Georgia was a rare thing;
now they come in swarms, s~candaliz-
ing society, occupying much of the time
Of the courts and creating the impress
sion that there has been a distinct de-
cline in the social purity of our people.
The increasing number of di-
vOrce suits in most of the southern
state and the ease with which, on al
most any sort of showing, the marriage
bond is legally snapped, are decidedly
discreditable to our civilization. We
observe that in one of the Oldest and
most conservative counties of this
state, and n which has a COMPARE
lively small population, six DEGREES
were granted at a recent session of the
superior court. Matters are worse in
those counties which have large CEN
tiers of population"
The tendency is to break up homes
and this is a great blow at liberty. 1t
is the homes that make the ~perpetuity
Of government ssured. Wipe out the
homes and you wipe out civilization
and turn a country into a brothel and a
hell.
