KILLING THE FATTED CALF

Let it be emphasized time and again
h a a large proportion of the demo-
Gratis who left their party and united
with the populists did so from princi-
pie, from an honest belief that the only
chance to secure needed changes n
reforms was by this course. They
were deceived by the men they trusted
the Buffers and Ohio Wilson's and
Cy Thompsons and SINNERS. These
fellows of the baser sort" made for the
government teat and there they have
swung and dangled ever since. The
bargaining, through these false lead
er5, with their ancient, INSCRIPTIONS,
dangerous enemy, the black republican
gang, was a most unfortunate and dis
astrous step. If General Lee at Sec
ond Manassas had joined hands with
the Yankee General in command to
help save the capitol of the Southern
Confederacy and win the independence
Of the southern people, he could not
have made a more fatal and perilous
mistake han when the populists fol-
lowed their leaders into the camp of
the enemy, the most vile, corrupt,
plundering party that ever cursed any
land but the south. 1t is the leaders
who have been faithiess, disreputable,
desperate in their and who
deserve the hatred and the %unsparing
de~nunciations of all honest, true white
men. They made a most d~espicable
combination by which there was foist-
ed upon the whole state a low, mon
grel government, without principles,
without honor, without capacity. The
result was that the niger was put in
the saddle to drive the team and he has
well night driven it to the devil. The
sort of thing they set up is a disgrace
to any age or state, and is wholly I'M
worthy of n country or people but
Africa n all blacks. The bargaining
was reckless, disreputable false,
and the end reached is calamitous, vi
ciOus in the extreme, anarchic, oar
barrie.
The democratic party is once more
where it was, opposed to ring rule, to
invasion of states, to outrages upon
the people under any plea however
plausible and specious and in favor of
the money of Washington and
Jefferson and the constitution of
their country. 1t is opposed to
mOnOpOlies and trusts that stran-
gle weaker industries and rob the
people. 1t stands on the platform Of
1896, hat gives all a wise, consistent,
honest populist can ask for.
The peOpulists are returning to the
old camp, to the old home. The fatted
calf is killed. The rejoicings have be-
gun. The fires of friendship are bright
ly burning and the feast of fat things
has begun. All are welcome. All have
a right to sit down at the old family
table and partake. The democrats have
no censure for we'll meaning, sincere
populists, but they heap maledictions
upon the treacherous, d~eceiving, sell
fish, plotting, promising, ambitious,
greedy, bargaining leaders. Their plan
is to win By deception and falsehood.

learning and ability in the book, and
able authorities are quoted. In several
chapters he discusses the distinctive
peculiarities Of the negro. He is not
built like the white man physically
and perhaps otherwise.

The Southwestern Presbyterian
writes with proper insight of the
modern foolish fad" in the north,
known as christian Science" 1t has
nothing to stand on, either reason,
philosophy or religion. 1t is absolutely
baseless, a poor, stupid batch of n
sense and blasphemy. We quote from
the paper named:
cit is one of the most transparent
hurnbugs of In age restless under the
restrictions of dOctrinal beliefs, and en-
dowed with large ears and itching for
novelties. 1t is, of course, as the
slightest examination of the writings
OF Mrs. Eddy, the female founder and
apostle, must convince the honest
reader, neither science nor Ch%ristiani-
sy- AS for it's sO-called science, it has
only borrowed the cast off garments
Of an ancient and exploded system Of
philosophy, the Idealism of Berkeley,
and as for the claim to the other part
OF it's twin title, it is disproved by ev-
cry page of her works. 1t is a curious
psychological phenomenon, that,
when one drifts from his sure anchor
age, on the Word of God, he is speed
lily carried about by every wind of doc
trine and makes shipWreck of even

Ut Charleston, S. c., in 1891, published

Retaliation of the Theory of the Ad-

BUMP EI0JS GEORGE AT THE
CIRCUS

George White, misnamed, is a candi-
date for reelection to the United
States house of representatives. George
is a lawyer and ought to have been
named Cicero (not Scipio) Africanus,
or some other big name. George is
stout and bumptious as we have said
of him aforetime. George is only half
a negro, although claiming to be lone
of en- a real negro. But that will
not go down. He lately went to a
circus at TarborO. He took with him
several negro women and children and
sat among the white peole. He refused
steadfastly to move to the negro side.
declaring he was as good as the whites,
knew his rights, etc. He did move at
last, under threats, as we have seen
stated. and took his crowd of women
and children with him, leaving the
tent. You see the bumptious George
rather over-estimated himself. The
whites did not like his company, and
he did not like the company of the
blacks. He had forgot his smelling
bottle and understanding herbs, and
determined to locate elsewhere than
among his race, his supporters in poll
tics. 1t was naughty in George to be
ashamed of his belongings II the
brother in black Georges "vaulting
ambition Ger leaped itself" for once.
He got in the wrong box. He would
not sit among the niggers, SO he va
mosed the show, not standing OF the
order of his going for he remembered
of Sambo that
You may scour, you may wash
The man if you will,
But the scent of the darkey
Will cling round him still.

When editing in 1867, we remember
TO have written a long article On the
Mary Magdalene of the New Tesla
rnent. We cannot reproduce conven-
seDtly the article or any part of it, but
it was prepared after investigation and
important and learned authorities were
quoted to show the great injustice and
wrong that had been done to one of
the best women in the Bible. If you
viii consult Smiths Dictionary of the
Bible and DIR. Giekie's most valuable,
learned and interesting Life and
Words of Christ you will learn some
thing of this vilely slandered woman.
He says 1.-The great body of scholars
reject the idea of Mary Magdalene
having been a Magalene.'" She lived
an Magdala and hence her name-Mary
of Magdala. She was one of the women
who waited on our Lord, and hence h
was a suspect and was ~slandered
"-by the Rabbits We quote at some
length of Giekie's very able and en-
pertaining work, as it is at hand and
is more recent than our former au-
thorities relied upon thirty-one years
ago. His work appeared in 1880, in
two volumes. We take leave to add
that Appleton has published a good
edition, large type, in one volume,
price $1.OO, a mavellously cheap book.
We have read and own six lives Of
Christ, and Giekie's is to us the most
valuable. On page 127, volume 2, he
ssays: "A surprising interest attaches
90 Mary Magdalene, from her un-
founded identification with the fallen
penetent who did Jesus honor in the
house of the pharisee Simon. There is
nothing whatever to connect her with
the narrative, for it c~Onfounds what
the New Testament distinguishes by
the clearest language, to think of her
having led a sinful life from the fact
Of her having suffered from demonia-
cal possession. Never, perhaps, has a
Pigment so utterly baseless obtained
SO wide an acceptance as that which
ue come with her name" Other au-
fhorities could be readily cited by con-
SuIting a theological library. 1t is
most cruel tina a sorely afflicted but
pure and good woman should live in
christianity as a fallen woman who re-
xsanted and was cured of her maladies
that her name should be associated
AZ the "vocabularies Of Europe as a
synonym of penitent frailty."

 Such Craft

NEW YORK, March 25.-Lewis Nix on, proprietor of the Crescent Ship yards, Elizabeth, N. J., is to receive orders from the Government, it is re- ported to-day, for ten or twelve first class torpedo boat destroyers. MT. Nixon went to Washington recently, and with several naval officers dis cussed plans for a most efficient class of tOrpedo-b boat destroyers. He re- turned to Elizabeth on Thursday, and for an hour was in consultation with various heads of departments at his yards about the ability of the plant to start to turn out boats on short notice.
 It was found that the first boat could be finished in ninety days, and work on the others rushed along at the same time, so there would be only about two weeks wait for each of the others. Nixon has a bid in for three thirty knot torpedo boat destroyers, but the Gov ernment, according to the report. is anxious to increase the order, and he will be ready to fill it. It is said that plans for torpedoboat destroyers are now being prepared

CHICAGO, March 25.-At Central Music Hall last night, before large audience of Roman Catholics, presided over by Archbishop Fehan, Hon. John J. Delaney of New York delivered an address under the auspices of the Knights of Columbus, of which he is the chief executive.
 While eloquently telling what America had done for the people of the Catholic faith and what they had done for her, he paused a moment and said: Need I add that if any crisis arises in the life of this nation tomorrow, let the occasion come how it may, you may be sure that the Catholics of the United States will, if need be, drain every vein in their bodies to prove their deVOtion?'
