Mr.. Bacon7Gs) Mr.. Turpie. agreed that the
only sovereign and exclusive power of the
President was that of granting pardons

Mr.. Turpie said the passages of the Cam
eron resolution to Cuba would be the
exercise of but small part Of the para
mount power of Congress. The senator had

Mr. furpie said he had eviderce before him

Havana by the Spanish forces might be an
excuse for Spain in denying belligerent
rights, but it could not be for the United

Effect of NaccO's Death.
How inconsiderate to say, said Mr.. Tur-
pie. that the death of Maceo ended the con-
test. "Maceo is dead. but the Cuban cause
still lives exclaimed Mr.. Turpie.
The senator threw intense vigor into his

The senator said Weylers course recalled
that of enemies of the United States who
addressed the first President as Mr.. WASH

to Ma 1eo, and said that, like the memory
of American heroes to Americans, so would
tie memory of Maceo be perpetuated in

OmlngtOn RetOrmeG acllurch,
expressed his disabprobatlon
of the Bradley Martin ball.
DR., Peters referred sarcast-
ically to the fact that, while
the@president of Harvard
College receives a salary of
but "a, 600 per annum, the
Boston baseball club once
paid $4,000 for a player
(King Kelly,) and gave that
PLAYER $4,000 a season for
picking off foul tips. The
ambition for palatial houses,
blooded horses, jewels and
diamonds, gold and silver
plate and dinners Of a dozen
courses, Mr.. Peters added,
had vitiated the morals of
the American people. In
one year---1895--- defaulters
who had striven to keep the
pace stole, SIS, 900, 900,
The love of display was re-
sponsible for the evil doing
of these men.
The Rev. Cortlandt
Myers, pastor of the Bah
fist Temple, of Brooklyn,
is another clergyman who
abhors hypocrisy and believes
IN telling the truth. Mr..
Myers has no patience with
the pulpiteer who employs
sophistry and specious ar
guments to give weight to
his words. He said:
Two hundred and fifty
thousand people in want Of
food and coal and $500, 600
squandered in a single soci-
ETY. ball, finds excuse and APP
plause only in hell. All
heaven is against it, or the
gospel of the Son of God is
not true. The shallow ex,
cuse that it gives employ
ment to a few people is all
Tst1attered into atoms by the
thunderbolts of Gods word,
aud right social principles,
Wherever and whenever
money is squandered for sell
fish ends 1t is a curse instead
OF a blessing. | defy any
man to find one state uent
from the lips of God to
the contrary, He that
taketh care of the poor
lendeth to the Lord, but
he that spends money sell
6shly gives it to the devil.
That is orthodox theology,
and Fifth avenue would
better learn it now rather
than at the Judgment bar Of
God. There never can come
one atom of benefit from
sel6shness, or extravaganza,
or vanity, and they are the
three graces in the S3OO,QOO
ball, ....
This was spoken like a
mama man who is not afraid
to express his honest opln'
ions, The gospel of the
sor of God" does not re,
congnize the selfish, the
heartless, and the merciless,
and he who says "the pub
he be damned has forgotten
the Golden Rule--.the rule
by which mankind can hope
for future salvation.

have been in several of the
counties of our State. While
Sharp has not 50 fertile a
soil as some of our counties,
she has many advantages
which others do not possess,
and may win 4 place in the
first rank. The industrial
development of our State is
a matter that should receive
the earnest, thoughtful con-
slderation of all our citizens.
The Atlanta Exposition was
a great object lesson, show
ing how the North is looking
toward the South. Here in
this lard of summer and
sunbeams are resources and
advantages of which the
North can not boast. Here
is a mild and heal thful CHI
mate, there severity of the
winter compels to some
thing of a "battle for ex-
istence." Here are mag
ni6cent forests of timber,
there the States are estab-
fishing forestry commissions,
Here are unbroken areas of
coal and iron and zinc and
marble, there in many To-
calltles these elements of
wealth are becoming ex-
hausted. | believe the South
will become the home of the
best and happiest and no.
blest in American life. Her
citizenship has Largely es-
capped the vitiating influence
of foreigners. Immigrants
land at Northern% aid
generally settle in northern
States, immigration by a
natural law moving or
parallel lines. Here, the
immigrants that come to us
will be Of Northern extract
ion, or, If foreigners, will
have been so filtered through
the seive OF Northern life as
to bear the native American
stamp, Even, if they
should at any time begin to
land at Southern ports, we
can not apprehend danger
from them in the future as
we have in the past, for
public sentiment is turning
against their unrestricted
admission, and Congress has
now before it an imml'
grafton bill, 1t is true that
we have here the negro, but
the problem concerning him
will solve itself, The
South is now the truest
representation of the sturdy
original American character,
and in consideration Of the
above facts will continue to
be such, And if this be so,
the South will eventually be
the greatest wealth pro-
ducing section of our country,
For in the typical American
we find those elements Of
character, which produce
wealth, in their strongest
combination. AS this sec.
ton will represent the
typical American traits in
their highest development,
so it will be the home Of the
highest in culture and edu,
cation, The chivalry of the
olden times, chastened and
exalted by the nobler ambi'
tions and broader views OF

THE RICH AND THE
POOR.

is general distress among
the nfople throughout the
country, In Chicago thous-
ands of men, women and
children are without food,
clothing and shelter. In
New York there are more
thousands. | n Boston,
Philadelphia and in every
great city and in every state
in the Union there are mis-
cradle, poverty-strlcken peo-
pie who are denied the right
to make a living by the
atroclous social system
which has gro Nn up in
America.
Tie average citizen be-
lieves that what is permit
ted blythe law to exist must
be right. He also believes
that if a man can get the
better of his fellows by
shrewdness, chicanerv and
sharp practice, and he is not
punished by those who adj
minister the law, he should
be honored by all mankind,
Jay Gould robbed right and
left and through bribery Of
courts escaped scot-free.
The average citizen fawned
on Gould until his death, and
he now defers to the children
to whom this man left his
illsgotten wealth. Such, in
briqf Ais tbs Els ethlGs Of the {:
American.
Bearing this fact in mind,
it is not surprising that the
sinful extravaganza OF the
Bradley-Martin ball, which
will be given next week in
New York, should be APP
proved by many, and among
the defenders are ministers
of the gospel Mrs. Bradley
Martin will give a costume
ball which will cost $500, 900.
This layish expenditure Of
money for the qualification
of vanity and the desire to
eclipse other rich people in
the race for social distinction
has created a stir. 1t is a
wonder that it has not
caused more than a stir.
Nearly every preacher in
New York delivered a
sermon on the subject last
Sunday, Among these
clergymen are several who
disgraced their pulpits by
making speeches for McKin-
ley during the recent CAM
paign One Of them is the
Rev, Thomas Dixon, Jro
who said, in part;
