Gov. Bon. TAYLOR. of Tenn, has the following to say on the subject of infidelity 'It is the desert where virtue trembles to tread, where hope falters, and where faith is cruclfed, the infdel dreams. To him all there is of heaven is bound ed by this little span of life, all there is of pleasure and love is cir eumscribed by a few fleeting years; all there is Of beauty is mortal; all there is of intelligence and wisdom is the human brain; all there is of mystery and ingenuity is fathomed by human wisdom, and all there is of virtue is measured by the rela- tions of man and man. To him, all must end in tongueless dust, and all that lies beyond the grave is voiceless shore and starless skyl To him, there are DO prints of death less feet in it's echoless sand, no thrill of immortal music in its joy less air. He has lost his God and like fallen seraph flying in a ray less night, he gropes his way on Tagging pinions; searching for light where dakness reighs, for life where Death is king

THE Memphis papers having utterly failed in every other at tempt to injure the candidacy of Benton McMillin for the Senate, are now trying to show that McMilfin was opposed to free silver in 1893 and voted for the repeal of the Sherman act. The Commercial Appeal claims that MeMillin made a speech for re- peal and then suppressed it. It is really amusing to see the Commercial Appeal opposing McMillin on the grounds that he is not a good silver man" when the Commercial Appeal cares about as much about free silver as a hog does about holi- day. It has only to be remembered that the Commercial Appeal sup ported Patterson against Carmack in the last Congressional campaign to show it's utter hypocriey and in in opposing MeMillin on the grounds that he is not good sssilyer man"

At the Mercy of Tiberius
It must be a matter of serious T

It must be matter of serious re- gret to all our citizens that Since the dissolution of Judge Robinson's injunction, the city is at the abso- lute mercy of the Pine Bluff Light & Water Go. -at the mercy of gibe- rius, as it were. Under present conditions the water pressure can be shut off at the caprice or will of the Company's officers and managers and the city left without protection from the ravages of flames. 1t is true that the Light X Water Go. is at present responding to all fire alarms, but this it can do, under ex- isting conditions, so long as it an swers it's purposes to do so, and no longer. The city is absolutely in the control of the water compay, and from all appearances it has Nlbservient and obedient council w eady to register it's will. How long the people will submit to this condition only time can tell. The Light & Water Go. is entitled to all of it's rights under it's contract with the city, but the people should ac- cord it nothing more nor accept Isything less than the full fulill- at of it's contract.

BENTON MoMILLIN is either the greatest demagogue that ever walked the face of the earth or the most abused and slandered public man living today. Since most of the abuse comes from the Memphis press, the indications are that the latter is true.

No one can deny that this is a strong arraignment of the ay- aricious powers in their efforts to destroy China. Lis appeal for his country is a very strong one and should teach the powers the way of justice.

Ronnd to Rench Ont.

In an interview a day or two ago the
Hon. Joseph Chamberlain. speaking in ref
erence to the argument that our constitu-
ton does not permit US to go into the bus
mess of governing colonies said: You
cannot thwart your destiny, and IT is obvi-
Gus to any student of your development
that the nation is bound to reach out"
All the public men of England apparently
want the United States to retain posses
sion of the Philippines. They believe that
with the United States in possession of
those islands it would not be a difficult
matter to establish the English open
door, policy in the matter of trade in
China. And there are signs that it is the
Presidents policy TO demand greater con-
cessions from Spain in the Philippines
than it has been generally thought he
would.
One of the signs, and a very significant
one, is the tone of the speeches of Sena-
tor Davis and the magazine articles of
Hon. Whitelaw Reid. Both of these men
are members of the peace commission. In
a speech last Thursday Senator Davis
said, substantially, that great as our trade
with Europe is, il is but a mite in COM
pa1ison with what our trade with the East
will become in the comparatively near
future. He could have hardly had any
thing else in mind than that the war with
Spain had given US advantages in the
East which would enable us to compete
successfully for the trade of China. MIR.
Reid argues that it is our duty to take
possession of all of the Philippines.
The President is being urged strongly
to grasp everything within his reach, be-
ing assured that his party win sustain
him. and 1t may be that he will accept that
advice, but it is certain that his judgment
is against it, The policy of territorial ex-
pansion is fraught with danger to which
a conscientious statesman hesitates to ex-
pose his country. In that policy the Pres
ident sees a big army, powerful navy
and colonial system honeycombed with
corruption. He sees other things threaten
ing to the welfare of the country.
Mr.. Chamberlain, the British colonial
secretary, says ii is our destiny to retain
the Philippines, but he says that because
he wants us to believe that 1t is, not that
there is any reason for saying so. He does
not speak from the standpoint of disn
terested observer

He Was Not a Gambler.

In an exceedingly interesting article in
the September Ladies Home Journal VIII
liam Perrine describes the suspicion that
increased in the mind of the captain of
the vessel which was bringing to America
an the fall of 1885, a mysterious passenger
who had come aboard at Hamburg and
goes on 10 tell what happened one day
Wnen this passenger said
Sir, this is not the first occasion uron
which have observed the attentive scru-
tiny you bestow upon me. May 1 inquire
the reason?''
Sir, responded the candid captain.
you took passage on my ship as a Dane:
l don't believe you're anything of the
kind
The passenger smiled; the smile was
full of perspicacity and confidence and
was followed with: Pray tell me, then.
what you believe me to be?'
At this question Capt. Ewing fdgeted,
hesitated, and finally blurted out:
Well to be honest, l think you are
gambler. You've well-nigh ruined YOUR
self at home, and are now coming to
fleece the fools you'll find on shore.
The young mans smile broadened; the
next minutes he turned grave again, low
cred his voice and replied:
Capt. Ewing, as you have studied me
during this voyage, SO 1 have studied you.
l have come to the conclusion that YOU
are man to be trusted. 1 am Louis

Related by a Minister.

A clergyman, who, for many years was
the beloved pastor of one of the largest
Presbyterian churches in Buffalo, recent
ly came back to town to renew old ac-
quaintanoes and preach a sermon TO his
OLD pensioners, says the Buffalo News.
or course, he was entertained by such of
his friends as could get hold of him, and
after quiet little dinner at a pleasant
nome the other evening, ne sat for while
on the porch and, as ministers among old
friends often do, tod a story or Two, and
The one which l will attempt to relate as
ne tod It concerns one Of his sons who
has been pastor Of a church in Pittsfeid
Mass, for not very many months, and
who has many dear friends himself in
Buffalo.
When R Went to Pittsfeld," said the
father, 'he told me that he was going to
try 10 build up his church, the members
OF which were largely working people. by
attending assduously to his pastoral du-
ties aside from his regular work in the
church. He even went so far as to an
nounce from the pulpit that certain cay
in the week would find him at such and
such neighborhood. and that the people
IN that section of the town might expect
pastoral cali from him

gown In anticipation of the visit and after
arraying her daughter in her best frock

child's behavior would not be amiss.

To this suggestion the child gave a
strictly orthodox answer and the next mo-
ment R appeared on the scene. He at
hrst did not notice the child. but stood
taking TO the mother and in the mean
time Susie had learned her lesson well.

The Wall Was There

Many years ago, when Lord Dufferin
was about to go to India as viceroy. I've
instructed his steward to build stone
wall around a famous ruined castle on
his Irish estate, In order to protect
il from vandals. On his return home.
several years after, he found to his
amazement that he old castle had dis
appeared, and In Its place was a circular
wall inclosing nothing. Sending for the
steward. he demanded to know why his
orders had not ben carried out The
steward insisted that what he had or
dered had been done. But where is the
castle?' asked the marquis 1.-THE
Castillo, me lord?" repeated the steward.
That ould thing. Shure, l pulled Il
down to biuld the wall wild! DO We
want me to be goin' miles for matherIals
with the finest stones in Ireland beside
me?" In telling the man to build the
wall his lordship had said nothing about
the preservation of the castle.
