CERvERA gave Gen. Blanco excel lent reasons for not obeying the latter's order to leave Santiago; he couldn't. To the Generals order he replied that he would be only too glad to leave, but his guns were dis. mounted, he was without coal, and the American admiral, with a big fleet, was waiting on the outside of the harbor And now frigid feel ing has arisen between Blanco and Cervera despite the torridity of the atmosphere at Santiago.

A New Trick.


 ious victory of Sampson at Santiago | and were wrapt in solemn and patriotic thought, the partisans of Mccoy down in Talladega township were holding a meeting to estop a contest and an investigation into the legality or regularity of certain votes in the last Democratic primary and otherwise disrupt the Demo cratic party.
 The GRAPHIC has TO direct advices of such meeting and We take our information from the Eagle, Maj. McCoy's organ, that such 8 meeting was held.
 This township is representend on the Democratic County Central Committee by Mr. Frank o. Me Gehee, who voted at the last meet ing of the central committee to in vestigate the negro Republican votes iu Richland township, and other irregularities.
 We were informed last week that meeting was booked for Tyrone on last Tuesday night for the pur- pore of protesting against Committ- eeman McGehee's action in voting for said investigation, but late in the afternoon for some cause the meeting was called off. MT. McGe- hee addressed a letter to his con stituency, to be read at the meeting, but, as we have before stated, the meeting was called off late in the afternoon and Mr. McGehee's letter was not read. Mr. McGehee is at present on the excursion to Calves ton, hence was absent at the meet ing Monday night.
 Weare informed by the Press Eagle that "forty odd citizens partic ipated in the convention. In the last primary. Talladega township cast 82 votes, and therefore this convention, evidently snap one, could hardly be considered, at all events, as expressive of the senti- ments of the voters of the township.
 The Press Eagle also informs us that "other townships whoso rep, resentatiyas voted to permit MT. Brewster to inaugurate another contest, we are reliably informed, have taken steps to express them selves, either by convention or petition, as disappearing the action of their central committeeman and instrueting them to vote against said contest, should it again be pre- sented at the adjourned meeting of the County Central Committee. D
 This, then, is to be regarded as the latest move of the Mccoy men to stifie the free exercise of their proper functions on the part of members of the County Central Committee and to thwart the will of the people as twice registered in the primaries this year.
 MeCoy's partisans are extremely anxious to declare him tte nominee by one cote in spite of the fact that eleven negro Republicans in Rich land township voted and were counted for him; in spite of the fact that be voted for himself, and in spite of the fact that ballot was counted for him in the Second ward on which his name was scratched apd which the voter will swear was not cast or intended for Mccoy.
 Deduct these votes from McCoy's total vote and it gives Brewster the nomination by twelve votes.
 In the face of these facts it is not surprising that McCoy's partisans are extremely anxious to declare him the nominee and to stifie a free aud fair investigation at the hands of the County Central Committee.

Try to Forget Them.

1t is unHise TO brood over our PAS:
sins. We should try to forget them. Tc
recall them certainly does not develop
goodness. Il rather has the opposite ef-
feet. The thought Of them dampens on,
ardor, makes us timid and distrustful
of ourselves. When we have repented
of evil and asked our Father to forgiva
US, we should dismiss the thought of it,
shut it out. let it have no place in oul
minds. Let the dead past bury its dead.
We must be busy with that which is
new and living. BY pure thoughts, no.
BILE purposes, good works, we must
crowd evil out Of our lives. God will
help Us to forget the wrong we once did
if we live with Him. We must work
with Him to produce that blessed OBJ
livion to the past both by refusing reso-
lutely To harbor the thought of old sins
and by filling our lives with all that
pleases Him. Bles sed is the man who
cuitivates the forgetting of evil.-Lu-

Topic.-"The minor virtues and their i'm
portance. Phil iii, 1874; ~, S. Math. v.
The standard of lite set before the
Christian is very high one. 1t is the
character of heaven, it is godlike per
lection. Paul declares that he will be
satisfied with nothing short Of heaven
and its attainments. Not, he says,
THAT had already attained or were al
ready per- It. but / follow after =
but this one thing do =" press to-
ward the mark for the prize Of the high
calling Of God in Christ Jesus." God
has called him in Christ to the prize Of
eternal life in heaven, and his one aim
in life is to reach the goal, the high
standard of perfect life in Christ placed
before him. Christ held the same high
standard before His disciples. BE ye
therefore perfect, even as your Father
which is in heaven is perfect. He did
not say that we could reach this goal Of
divine perfection in this life, but placed
it before us as our ideal, and His word
teaches us that we do reach it in the life
beyond.
Godlikeness therefore in character is
the Christians standard and goal, but
it does not imply that we are to ignore
the minor virtues and characteristics of
morality. Goodness is higher than mo-
rality, but it implies it. Although god
illness is our aim. we are not to ignore
the moral virtues, for it is by practicing
them that we attain to godliness.
In Phil. iv, s, Paul mentions some
Of the moral virtues upon which we are
to think that we may be led to do tAoln.
They are:
l. Whatsoever things are true.
Truth and trueness are absolutely neces-
sary to Cm istian life. We are to seek
the one and to cultivate the other. God
is true. Christ is the truth, and all
that is true comes from Him, and moth
ing false is to be found in Him. To
have Christ is to have truth; to be like
Christ is to be true.
2. Whatsoever things are honest y
The revised version translates the Greek
word used here honorable or "rever-
end rather than honest" and this
rendering is nearer the meaning of the
original Greek word. 1t suggests the
cultivation of spirit of self respect,
| which is net inconsistent with true
Christian humility.
3. Whatsoever things are just, ,"
right or righteous before God and man.
4. "Whatsoever things are pure ="
Purity is an essential Christian charae-
teristic. Only the pure i'll heart shall!
see God " Our lives should be free from
| anything that stains or detles.
3. Whatsoever things are lovely
*+s and of good report, All charac-
teristics of life that are lovely, attract
i've to men, and which men admire and
esteem, are TO be cultivated, that by
them we may win men to Christ.

The Evil Continues to Grow.

The corruption and extravaganza sc
plainly evident in state and municipal
affairs are condemned and deplored by
many who are strangely apathetio and
Indifferent when a call for action is
sounded. Why cannot they be drawn
out in resistance and in an effort to
overcome? Some think it would be- of
no use, and some are afraid to be classed
among "reformers, and others think
it looks small to object to the size of
salaries and amount Of bills, and SO the
evil continues to grow and American
liberty is imperiled by the easy going

He was born in Ponndridge New York,

culture and agricultural chemistry. When
the Civil War broke out he went to it as
major of the Garibaldi Hussars. Later he
helped to raise the Fourth Missouri Cav

He began his work as Street cleaning
