Never Grows Old.

There is perma nent freshness In
the gospel. The old story is ALWAYS
new Other things become stale and
worn the gospel as a freshly plucked
rose, fills the soul with pleasure and
joy, and satisfies the deepest want Of
the human heart. News becomes old
after once telling, and other objects
become threadbare after few repeti-
lions. The Romans laughed at it; it
was foolishness to the Greeks, while
the jews stumbled over the simplicity
of salvation. But the gospel won it,
way 10 the hearts of the people, and
has the same power today it had q
thousand years ago. The power and
sway of the Greek and Roman en-
pires have long sinced passed away,
while the teachings of Jesus are SO
working in the social and civil prob
lens that the day is fastening when
the Kingdoms of the earth will be his
heritage and the lies of the sea his pos
sessions, The minister needs no other
theme to interest his audience. There
is no fquestion of the day" half so at
tractive to the sin-laden heart, Preach
Jesus. Study his words, his lite, his
character, his mission aud his saliva
ton, and give the people that bread
of which, If they eat, they shall never
hunger.--The Herald and Presby tor.

RAISING THE HOG.

Southern Stock Farm
 Although great deal has been said to the credit of the hog, the topic is by no means exhausted. He has long been known in the Emerald Isle as the "gentleman that pays the rent, and if we treat ed him with more care and consid- eration we would also find him re- sponsive to our call for monetary assistance, when periodical de- mands were made upon us.
 Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has said, regarding the hog, that he grows cheaper on the pasture, and besides the fields that grow his grain, he Is most profitable as q subordinate department, because he cannot consume the coarse folders of the farm. He furnishes the best market in which to sell bv- products of the mill and dairy. He assimilates more of the most con centrated feed stuffs than any oth- CT animal of the farm. Quicker returns come from him than horses, cattle or sheep. He pays the rent in European countries, lifts the mortgages in the Northern States, and, in conjunction with the cow he will redeem the worn-out cotton and tobacco fields of the South.
 Avoid permanent residences for the hog move him about so that his environment may be clean and uncontafninated by germs that de- yelop rapidly where they have suitable media. Avoid close breed ing, as 1t intensities predisposition to disease.
 Select your breeding animals from good milkers, as this is the best indication of feeundity. Nc agricultural people thrive who buy grains and meats and pay for them with the price of other farm pro- duct. We compete now, through improved and cheapening trans portation, with all the world. The farmer is most independent who finds at least sustenance for his family from his fields, Hocks and herds, These are all truths worthy of careful digestion and assimila- ton.

 Such resolution was adopted by the State Central Committe of the Democratic party at it's recent meeting. and IS very lib cral one; and under the circum- stances we believe that many men, who have heretofore alien ated themselves from the party will return and help fight the great battles for the liberty of the people which will necessari- ly have to be fought in the flu tare. Now, that the doors are thrown wide open let everyone who favors reform and honesty in governmental affairs come in. The more the better.

JUDGE McRAE, OF ARKANSAS

Speaking of Judge A1cRae, the Atlanta Constitution $ Washing ton correspondent says
 "One of the ablest of the Demo- cratic leaders k Judge McRae, of Arkansas.
 Il do not think that there should be any sacrafce of the democratic principles on the mon- ey question or any other part of the Chicago platform in order to satisfy bolting democrats in the pivotal states. l think the plat form of 1000 will be substantially like chat of IS96, that was clear cut and is now we'll understood by the country. \ majority of the people believe in 1t and it would be suicidal to halt or to hesitate in our course about 1t, because some of our old associates have faltered in the democratic faith or strayed from the fold.
 The democratic party IS in better shape and more harmon ious than 1t has ever been and think with proper management it will win in the congressional cleo tions this year But whatever may be the result, we should not sacrifice principle to mere expe- diency. The party can survive defeat on democratic lines, but it cannot long outlive q compromise of the money question with those who do not indorse the Chicago platform "

STAINS PREPARATIONS.

Thoughtful persons who study the daily developments in the relations now existing between Spain and the United States may well be excused for feeling some apprehension as to the serious nature of the crisis now rapidly approaching
 When nation, in addition to increasing it's legitimate naval strength with all possible dis patch, begins also the arming of its naval auxiliary-the mer- chant line cruisers available un- der contract with the Govern ment-the signs certainly point towards war or a very strong expectations of war as existing in the mind of such a nation. This action Spain has now talk en i'll stopping the departure from Barcelona of the Spanish steamer Ciudad de Cadiz, re turning the money of passengers who had booked to sail on that vessel, and ordering the arming of the Cadiz as a cruiser to es- eort the Spanish torpedo fotilla to Cuba.
 It IS not strange to read that in official circles at Washington this latest move of the Spanish Government is regarded as highly significant" and that "a declaration ofWar from Spain would scarcely have caused more surprise in Washington. " The administration may not unjust ly regard such action as being "elearly belligerent and with no peaceful purpose in view The arming and employment of the Cadiz as a cruiser cannot easily be explained save as pointing to hostile movement by Spain against the United States.
 Itwillbe reassuring to hear of administration action based up on this latest news from Spain. The pfetense of friendly feeling existing between the two Gov ernments is being rapidly dis pelled by Spanish action It might bejust as we'll now to face matters in the open and adopt means to take Spain at her word.-St. Louis Republic.

CUBA AND OUR HONOR.

In it's current issue the Ameri- can discusses the questions of inter vention in Cuba, taking the send ing of the Maine to Havanna as its text and arguing earnestly for such action by this Government as will cause the termination of war.
 Congressional protest brought about by the pressure of public sen timent, The American rightly claims. forced the President to or der the Maine on its present as signment. Ut is not a little satis- faction to feel, - the writer says, "that the protests of the people have impelIed the President even thus far. , And then he enumer- ates the very obvious reasons why the administration should maintain this yigor with dealing with the Cuban question.
 Not the least convincing of these is the fact that Spain herself has ceased to refer to the insurgents as mere banditti, and recognize them as men fighting for principle. She recognizes also in official bulletins the existence of the organized gov ernment and army of Cuba she an- nounees the deaths and surrender. of Cuban officers of high rank she tells ot the Cuban President and his Cabinet officers being forced to flee before the Spanish troops. But not beyond thi. form of recognition does she go, violating, instead, al the rules of civilized warfare in the conduct ot her Cuban campaign.
 To put an end to the devasta- ton and depopulation of Cuba The American claims, is not only the right but the duty of the American Government. The argu- ment is strong and logical, and when to it is added the further du- ty of protecting American interests in Cuba, 1t is difficult to see how a policy of noninterference can be reasonably and honestly defended. The Republic hailed the sending of the Maine to Havanna as the first indication of the abandonment of such d policy. If that act shall prove to have been but a precon- certed and tricky concession 10 public sentiment, not intended to be followed up by further vigorous action, the people will be inclined to judge rather harshly an admins tration which stoops to such per formance in q crisis where the na- tional honor and dignity are at stake.-St. Louis Republic.
