OF all places in the city perhaps there

House. 1t is the mecca of the subscrip-

are raising money for any sort of an OBJ

1t Is one of the places where they rush

is especially true of people who come to
Augusta for help. They naturally think
the State capitol is the place where they
can get aid from the heads of the various
departments.
Hardly day passes, SO the attaches
say, but that there is a chance to give
away more than their salary or as little
as they wish. When they first begin to
work in the State House they think they
must give to about everything that is
asked of them, but soon the purse warns
the man or woman that he or she must
stop, or there will be nothing left at the
close OF the year.

tice.

knew how large a sum is raised in the

they would be surprised. Every object
that is indeed worthy is patronizei.
Often, as though no one ever visited the
place. some of the attaches will start a
paper on their own account, and it is
here where the money is raised. a good
example of this case was at the time the
money was raised for the volunteers
while they were at Chickamauga.

Iron County register., 1898-04-28

From present indications the real
contest for the nomination for Circuit
Judge will occur in the convention.
There is little question but that Mr..
Carty will carry Iron, Wayne and
Reynolds counties, giving him four
teen votes in the convention: Mr..
Dearing has Jefferson with eleven
votes, and it is presumed Mr.. Eversole
will secure the delegation from his
own county, Washington, with six
votes. This calculation is based on
the probability of the judicial commit
tee placing the basis of representation
on the vote for Bryan. allowing one
vote for every 250 votes cast-which
is the general basis of representation
this year. If such is the action of the
committee there will be thirty-one
votes in the convention, with Carty,
IA, bearing, IL, and Eversole, 6. The
real fight will take place in the con-
vention.

its strange power. In the simplest

''IS THE night somewhere else the
dawn?" was the question propounded
to large and fashionably attired au-
dience at the Coates opera house in
Kansas City Easter Sunday morning by
Rev. j. f. Roberts, pastor of the
Church of This World. All audiences
and congregations these days are pa
triotic, and it so happened that when
the apostle of the Church of This World
made an allusion to the Spaniard as
cruel and heartless the speakers elo-
quence and the trOublous times com
bined to make the echoes of the opera
house ring with applause. In his in
PRODUCTION DR.. Roberts declared the
universal inability of priest and bar
barian to answer the question: elf
man die shall he live again." He
spoke of the progress of knowledge in
other directions, and it was in this con-
nection that the Spaniard was grace
fully stabbed. He said:
Taught by science, man has con-
quered the forces of nature and made
them his willing slaves. If great Jove
were to return to the earth now he
would find that the magician science
had filched his dread thunderbolts and
put them to better uses .han Jove ever
dreamed of. Prometheus stole fire
from heaven, gave it to man and in
structed him in its uses. This an
gered Zeus, father of gods and men. and
he chained Prometheus to a cliff, fed
the vultures with his living flesh, then
hurled the cliff and the prisoner into
the abyss. Zeus was probably Span
lard. (Hearty applause.) In earth and
sea and sky the sovereignty Of science
has been acknowledged, and the free
dom and independence of man has been
recognized, but if the first man and
first woman were TO return to earth
now, they would find US bending above
our dead with the same dread wonder
within our hearts, the same unanswered
question upon our lips, that they asked
and felt when the race was new.
Within the shadow, death sits upon
his ancient throne, conquered by none.
All wonder. most hope. none know.
We ask as millions before US have
asked the age-old question. and to US
as to them there comes no answer.
Love is the one thing that gives value
to living. Love is the one thing that
makes human life divine. 1t is the
one thing that lifts man above the
beasts below and links him to the an-
gels above. And if it must be that

BILL MCKINLEY'S home is Columbus,
O., says the IcOnoclast, and Bill is the
advance agent of progress and pros
perity' he seems to be a long
ways ahead OF his show. The follow
ing excerpt from a letter to the IcOnO-
claSt, dated at Columbus. March 10,
might furnish the country food for
reflection were it not so worked up
over the war: "A party of sight-seers
while visiting the penitentiary recently,
noticed that in the rear of the kitchen
a crowd of ill-clad people, mostly
women and children, were struggling,
pushing, almost fighting. Inyestiga-
tion proved that they were struggling
to secure the scraps thrown out from
the tables OF the convictsr' Does it
not appear damning shame that in
this country honest people are so i'm
poverished that they will fight for the
foul scraps which even criminals re-
fuse? And Columbus boasts of her
costly churches! And the Republicans
are in power! And we have a high
tariff to protect Us from the pauper
labor of Europe and sound money
to keep our blessed milIionaires from
going bump!

National Honor and Stocks.

There appears in the Outlook, a
quasi-Republican magazine published
in the city of New York, table show
ing the quotations of the values of
fourteen leading stocks on the 18th of
February of this year and the value of
the same securities a month later.
The average shrinkage in value is
about ten and one-fourteenth pen cent.
If on the morning of the fifteenth of
one hundred and forty thousand dol
lars worth of this kind of property he
would have found on the morning of
March 10Th, had he attempted to con-
vert his bits of paper into cash, that
in the month that had intervened be-
tween the two dates he had lost some
thing over fourteen thousand dollars,
and he would not have been long in
coming to the conclusion that his loss
was due to the Spanish war scare. If
this amount were an actual loss to the
material interests of the country it
would be a grevious thing; but it is
nothing of the kind. The country is
not bushel OF wheat, grain OF corn,
or dollars worth of any substance
the worse for the decline in the stock
market. All that can be said is that
some two hundred and fifty millions of
water have been squeezed out of the
stock market, to the great disgust of
the holders of these water privileges,
by which they have been able to fill
themselves with the life-blood of the
nation from the arteries of national
commerce. The country is not poorer
by their loss-ultimately it may prove
to be richer by it. Government bonds
seem also to have tumbled
From the foregoing facts it will be
seen why every commercial black-leg
in the world was clamoring for peace
at any price. McKinley's hesitation
and Hanna's insistence that there
should be no war, no matter what the
provocation, is at once understood. Ev-
cry man who had money in stocks,
every banker and bondholder who
loves his money better than he loves
of the Peace Society. These people
are in very unco nfortable predica-
ment: they contributed vast sums of
money toward the election of William
Mckinley and they find that circum
stances more potent than dollars pre-
vent them from reaping where they
sowed so literally in the campaign of
1896.
Meantime credit money is beg ginning
to circulate more freely on account of
the enormous expenditures of the gov
ernment in procuring everything that
navy or army can need. This in
flation o. the circulation has sustaine d
prices, so as to arrest their downward
tendency at least. As the property of
the banker aud stock-broker has gone
down the property of the farmer has
gone up. The influx of money in
to the channels of trade has cheapened
money to a small extent as represented
by a slight rise in values of various
commodities; how long this condition
will endure remains to be seen. One
thing is sure: that the parties who
were shedding tears two years ago
over the loss of national honor that
would ensue if silver was restored to
its ancient place as the unit, are not
now nearly so concerned with the ma
tional honor as they are with more
bonds and good price for stocks.
