Buckley. and that he was the man to
bIame for the whole thing.
Johnson endeavored to defend himself
against these charges as best ne cou'd
under the circumstances, asserting that
he was not to blame, but had been dele
gated to do what he had done by the COM
mitiee itself. Dr. Griswold interrupted by
yelling that Johnson was traitor to the
party and should sit down to hide his
shame.
Rogers arose at this point and made q
calm, rational speech against the pro-
posed action. He said that the action OF
the party in the past should not govern II
now. The time might come for fusion
again, but if Bryan were welcomed by
Populists now otherwise than as man 1t
would be to surrender their principles and
merge themselves with the Democrats.
Hardly had he time to be seated when
John Z. Gore jumped up and proclaimed
that any man who stepped into the Pa
vllion 10 welcome Bryan was a traitor.
Haskell howled back that T. V. Gator had
been appointed on the reception commit
tee ana asked if he were traitor.
Gore responded that he was when Has
kell grew purple in the face and demanded
that Cores words be taken down by the
secretary and that steps be taken to expel
him from the party. Gore started to an

forward and shouted:

OF the adoption of the clause was put by

monium reigned that can hardly be done

that there are upward nf 800 children OF

there are only about 200 who can attend

to go TO other schools at distance from

SUNDAY SCHOOL LIBRARIES
Many Of the Books are Pernicious and an
Insult to the Intelligence of Young
People.

Many Of the Books are Pernicious and an
Insult to the Intelligence of Young
People.
Edward W. Box has been making a
careful and comprehensive examina-
tion OF Sunday School libraries, and in
the February Ladies Home Journal he
confesses himself disgusted with the
literature thus placed in the hands of
our boys and girls. A less complete
investigation, Mr.. Box says, would not
have made 1t possible for him to be.
lieve that the libraries Of our Sunday
Schools were stocked with such piles
of rubbish-"wishy wsshy literature" +"
as he terms 1t. He quotes the titles
and gives the themes OF q number OF
books he obtained from Sunday School
libraries, and these seem to completely
warrant his conclusions. "Such
books" he contends, "are an insult to
the intelligence Of the young people,
and have pernicious influence. In.
stead of being healthy books they are
decidedly unhealthy in tone and teach
ing. Surely we are cultivating dan.
gerous taste for reading in the young
when we feed them on such rubbish. "
Mr.. Box unhesitatingly lays a part
of the blame upon the Publication
Boards and Societies, which are infiu.
enced by denominstional spirit that
narrows their choice sf books. Then,
again, it is shown that the most medi.
ocre sort of talent" is employed to
write these books and that beggerly
prices-less than $50 per book-are
paid. A share Of responsibility, Mr..
Box asserts. rests .upca Nhe men who
purchase Sunday 5choN libraries. who
as is most frequently the case, are not
qualified for the task, and whose OBJ
ject is to secure library as cheap as
possible. Mr.. Box warmly urges that
the selection of Sunday School books
be left to women, who "instinctively
know and feel the kind of q book
which boy or girl will read and en-
joy He insists that women should
be given car te blanche to make the sc.
lections so far as the prescribed amount
of money will go. "a hundred good
books, Mr.. Box concludes, "are far
better than five hundred books OF in
different interest,"" which are bought
simply because they are cheap. "A
Sunday School library can not be
created in day, and no discourage.
ment should be felt If the financial
means of the church are contracted,
and necessitate the purchase of only
few books at time"

The Ballot Box in TENNESSEE.

The Legislature of Tennessee has
just taken pains TO disgrace itself. 1t
has gone on record as being opposed
to an honest count of honest ballots,
having passed bill which might just
ly have borne the title: An act to put
a premium on fraudulent voting. At
the recent election Robert L. Taylor,
the Democratic candidate, on the face
Of the returns, was chosen Governor
bya majority of nearly 1000. But
Mr.. Taylors Republican opponent,
Mr.. Tillman, challenged the count,
alleging that. barring frauds on the
ballot box. he would have been elected
by 5000. Having the courage Of his
conviction on the point. Mr.. Tillman
naturally determined to make con.
test for the executive chair.
Now. obviously, 1t was the duty of
the members Of the Tennessee Legisla.
ture, as of all other men In the State
who believe in popular government,
heartily to favor any investigation
which was calculated to establish
whether or not Taylor had received q
majority Of all the honest votes which
had been cast for Governor. The con.
test which Tillman-a man OF responsi.
bility. having large backlng-had
determined to make, would have re.
suited in ousting Taylor or in convict.
ing fair minded men that he could
read his tisle clear to the Governor.
ship. But the Democrats who controlled
the Legislature were unwilling to have
the truth established. Evidently they
were afraid that the contest would be
fatal to Taylors ambition, and hence.
caring everything for partisan suprem-
acy and nothing for justice, they passed
the bill in question. 1t is the meanest
sort of special legislation. 1t provides
that the contestant for the office of
Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1897-02-03

Governor shall give bond of S25, 900
TO meet the cost of the contest: the
sum is to be paid as a penalty in case
the Legislature shall declare the con g.
test unwarrantable, or not made in
good faith, or made for political effect,
or without reasonable cause. Such is
the contemplate measure which these
Democratic law makers of Tennessee
rushed through, after Mr.. Tillman had
filed a notice of contest. 1t goes far to
convince unprejudiced people that
Taylor was elected by fraud, and that
he and his partisans are we'll aware Of
that fact. The Legislature has virtu.
ally said to Tillman: "If you presume
to make this contest, we will fine you
S25,O00." In other words, this body
of lawmakers deliberately puts a pre-.
MUM upon crimes against the ballot
box. Mr.. Tillman has retired from
the contest since. as he has explained,
he can not afford to pay the fine.
The men who passed this fraud con.
doning bill need not be surprised if the
honest men of Tennessee, whatever
may be their politics, brand them as
wretched conspira tors against govern.

earned such brand. They stand be.

LITERARY NOTES.

Thepublic seems never to grow weary
of hearing about Rudyard Kipling and
his achievements, though much Of
what is said about him is sorry stuff
indeed. 1t is refreshing to find in the
February Review of Reviews candid
and unpretentious, but not the less ex-
haustive, critique of Kipling which
really does justice to the authors per.
sonality without "gush" and without
the senseless exaggeration so common
in articles of this kind. The writer,
Charles D. Lanier, has given US an in.
depreciation of Kipling which is frankly
sympathetic and at the same time ire
sistibly attractive.

makes "a Plea for the Protection of
Useful Men" from bores and societies,
and all we'll meaning people who both.

weeks before his death. In one of these
letters Gen. Walker wrote: II am not

BY far the most complete account of
the many sided career and public serv-
ices of the late Gen. Francis A. Wal
ker that has appeared anywhere since
his sudden death early in January, is
published in the February Review Of
Reviews. A character sketch by Joseph
]. Spencer reviews General Walkers
life as student, lawyer, soldier, adju-
tant general on Hancock's staff, jour-
nalist, teacher, government statistician,
census commissi oner, writer on econo-
mics, historian, and educational ad-
ministrator. Prof. Davis R. Dewey
treats in more detail Of Gen. Walker 8
services in the army, as head of the
census bureau, as political economist,
and as president of the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, and discusses
particularly President Walkers rela-
tions to the monetary questions of the
day. The articles are illustrated with
portraits of General Walker atdifferent
ages.
The principal topics treated editon-
ally In the February Review of Reviews
are the Anglo-American arbitration
treaty, the Cuban situation, the pros.
poets of the Nicaragua Canal, the re

THE DOCTRINE OF ATONEMENT

1t Has Been Assailed in Every Age of the
Worlds History, Without Avail.
"For nineteen hundred years the
chief point of controversy between
faith and unbelief has been over the
doctrine of the Atonement," writes
Evangelist Dwight L. Moody in the
February Ladies' Home Journal.
Lying as it does at the very founda.
ton of Christianity, has been assailed
in every age of the history of the
church without avail, and remains to.
day the most universally accepted
teaching of our faith. Upon the fin
ished work of Christ's Atonement the
entire structure of Christianity rests.
This truth has, perhaps. suffered as
much from the misguided zeal of it's
friends as it has from the attacks of it's
enemies. The human theories which
have been advanced in it's defense
have too often been at the expense of
the Bible teaching regarding the char.
acter of God.
1t is truth which we are to accept.
but are not commanded to understand.
Christianity is faith, not theory.
Its truths are given by revelation and
are not the result of speculation, the
only infallible guide to which we may
refer being What saith the Scriptures?'
That the Bible contains passages that
do not understand is to me strong
proof OF its Divine origin. If l could
read the Bible as do any other book,
what would hinder my contributing
toward writing Biblep Thank God
that in His Word l find heights that
can not reach, depths that l can not
fathom, breadths that | can not meas.

Feed Charcoal.

The benefit derived from feeding
charcoal or even charred cobs at the
present season of the year to all swine
is more than many breeders have any
idea of. The beneficial effect is mar
velous In many instances, and many
breeders have slipped by a close call
from disease by this method of feed
ing. If the cobs are raked up in a
wind row in the feeding lot. some dry
straw scattered over them aud all fired
you can char the cobs easily. When
burned enough scatter the cobs with
rake and the fire will be extinguished,
sprinkle salt on them and when cool
let in the pigs. They will leave corn
for it.-Exchange.
