Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness Against
Thy NeighbOr.N

Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness Against
Thy Neighbour"
On commencement day l delivered
an grafton, entitled, 1.-THE Ifs Of His.
tory" One paragraph was devoted to
the character and works of Martin Lu-
Their. In which l said that if that no.
BILE character had not hung up his the
els 1t is certain that the Christian re-
ligion would not have been as far ad-
vanced as it is today.
Some Catholic seems to have became
offended at that statement, and made
an effort in last weeks issue of this
paper to publicly criticise me for hav-
ing made that statement. The writer
OF that article said that l. in that para
graph of my grafton, made this remark:
"That il it hadn't been for Luther we
might now be under papal rule, wor.
Shipping the Pope instead of our Gre.
ator." The writer of that article either
ignorantly or maliciously made a false
quoting of my language.
l have given above the exact words
of my GRAFTON, aud do say positively
that the statement. which the Catholic
writer says that | said, was not used by
me. My Catholic friend says that Of
schoolboys, however, nothing much
should be expected. l would just say
to that writer that from this on to
please ''pick the mote out of thine own
eye" and never attempt to answer an.
other school boys Grafton without
knowing what was said, and under
what conditions it was said.
To the Catholic church I would say,
that l believe 1t is a Christian band,
and / would do nothing which would
be calculated to be an obstruction in
your way. l do lot believe that the
writer of that article is a true Catholic,
but an exception to the rule.
To the writer of that article I would
say, though you hadn't backbone
enough about you to sign your name,
yet l hope that you will in the future
see, as Luther saw, your folly, and not
only quote and read from the Bible.
but put into practice Its teachings.
In behalf of the Principal of the
school l would say, that If 1 should
have desired to have had sectarian
views in my orations, he would never
have allowed it.
blessed are ye when men shall re.
vile you and persecute you, and speak
all n of evil against you un.
truely; for My sake be glad and re.
joice for your reward is very great in
Heaven" Yours very respectfully,
DAVID A. j. VINES.

CLEVELAND SHOCKED,

When the assassination of Canovas del
Cleveland, the latter is reported to have
said: 81 very much deplore the shocking
death of the eminent statesman who has
fallen victim to anarchistic rage. The
world may well contemplate the terrible
event with bloody apprehensions."
When the same "eminent statesman"
through his protege and sub-butcher,
Weyler, was engaged in the frightful out
raging and butchery of Cuban women,
girls and children by the hundred and in
the torture and murder of American citi-
zens in Spanish dungeons, Grover Cleve-
land, who then was president of the Unit
ed States, did not seem to feel at all
shocked. He did not think that "the
worlds civilization" was in the least con-
cerned, or that it should look upon such
things with gloomy apprehension"
No. He said repeatedly that it was no
concern of ours, and that the holiness of
treaty obligations should forever prevent
the least expression on the part of this
government that could be construed az
unfriendly or offensive to friendly ma
tion, with which we were on terms of
peace and amity, and with which he in
volved Us in an unholy alliance against
the cause of liberty and humanity.
1t is only when tyraut suffers that
such men are susceptible of shock!

GREAT is WALKING STICK,

The ears of our red brother, Walking
Stick, of the Cherokee Nation, are open,
and he has drank of the wisdom of the
pale faces, and he knows thing or two.
He is no poor Indian whose untutored
mind sees ghosts in cabinets and whose
wits are blind. He is great chief, is
Walking Stick, and if he should ever take
anotion to visit the cities of civilization,
let the bunco steerer beware lest he should
be thrown down by the red man of the
praries.
No one ever heard of Walking Stick till
he attended a Spiritualstic seance. He
had never gone upon the war-path after
his neighbours cattle or agency whisky.
He had never dug up the Ratchet nor
painted his face red, white and yellow,
nor invited his braves to corn dance,
nor even, so far as known, stolen red
blanket of settlers clothes line. He
had gone about peaceably, as a we'll con-
Quoted Indian should, in the pursuit of
happiness, liberty, rum and tobacco, and
even his relatives spoke we'll of him.
But since he attended that spiritualis.
tic performance he has become famous.

SOUTHWESTERN WEALTH.

Hundreds of cars of Kansas and Okla
homa wheat are sidetracked in the rail-
road yards at Kansas City awaiting trans
portation to tidewater at Galveston, New
Orleans and other ports on the Gulf of
Mexico. The reason of the congestion is
that the carrying power of the roads that
lead to the gulf has been overtaxed by the
unexpected large yield of cereals all over
the southwest, and the unsnticipated
movement of the grain to market via the
southern route. 1t will take the roads
several weeks to catch up with their bust
ness and schedule these wheat laden trains.
At the gulf ports scores of tramp steamers
are moored awaiting the arrival of cargoes
of grain for Europe. On the other side
of the ocean millions of people are watch
ing eagerly for news of the grain move
ment in the United States. They are
depending upon US to feed them this year.
Meantime the price of wheat on American
exchanges continues to squirt upward
| Occasionally ii takes a backward swing,
but always settles at point as high or
higher than the notch reached the day
| before.
| In this unusual combination of condi-
tions there is more hope and Joy for the
southwestern farmer than he has felt for
decade. 1t is probable that he will get
dollar for his wheat before the market
settles But there is in it the possibility Of
much more substantial and enduring
benefit than appears upon the surface.
The construction of direct lines of
transportation between the Gulf of Mex
leo and the central west brings this vast
and rich agricultural section within easy
reach of the ocean highways and opens
the natural channels of trade. 1t saves
to the producer the expenses IF the long
and clrouitous haul to tidewater on the
eastern sesboard, which has been absorb
ing large part of his legitimate profits.
The spectacle of gut of loaded cars
in western railroad yards awaiting their
turn to be carried to the gulf, will impress
upon capital lesson which western news
papers and publicists have for years, beJn
trying to teach. That lesson is that the
next great territory of development is the
southwest and that profits await invest
ments there. thus far the railroad field
has only been touched. It offers induce
ments to capital which the northwest
never possessed in the days of it's most
rapid development. With the gridiron-
ing of the southwest with north and south
lines of railroad to meet the increasing
demands of transportation in that direc.
tion, political Influences will be evolved
which will soon wiring from the federal
treasury the appropriations needed for
the opening of gulf ports and the strength
ening of the coast defenses along vast
line which is now exposed to attack from
the worlds weakest navv.

SOUTH FOR PROTECTION.
Growth of Southern Manufactures Has Ac-
complished the Change.

Growth OF Southern manufactures Has Ac-
complished the Change.
The voting on the Dingley tariff bill
in both house and senate has brought
out some interesting and significant
facts, some Democrats and even few
Populists having joined with the Re-
publicans in support of protective
measure. This evidences that the prin-
oiple of protection has grown broader
than party lines. But the most signifi-
cant fact is that nearly all of these nom
Republican votes for protection came
from the south The day was when in
making forecast of election returns
the votes of the "solid south" were as.
signed without discussion to the party
of free trade, but that day has gone,
never to return.
The "solid south" is broken, and the
break is greater than that which is
measured by party lines. Not only has
the party whose watchword is protec-
ton more southern members in congress
than ever before, except at the time i'm
mediately following the civil war, but
the number of their votes does not meas
ure even the whole strength Of protec-
ton sentiment in the south. The growth
of manufactures in the south and the
opening up Of southern resources are
swinging the south surely and not slow
]y into the protection column. 1t is
quite conceivable that in the not far
distant future we will have again a
"solid south"--a south solid for the
American system of protection.
