UNLOADING RESPONSIBILITY.

Pittsburg. Post.
President Mckinley falls back on his
favorite plan CT a commission to unload
the Philippine problem n its varied
bungles and plumbers and divest the
President of responsibility for what
was the Presidents line Of action. The
commission is intended, no doubt, to
stop Congressional debate, which the
court circle is lightning to call treason
able, but it won't.

SOUTH AGAINST EXPANSION.

Atlanta Journal.
The policy of expansion is directly
against the theories of constitutional
government which have always been
held by a majority of the Southern peo-
pie and the chief agricultural products
of the South would probably be cheap
ened by carrying out the expansionist
plans. The South's strong opposition
to expansion is in accord both with its
past principles and its present inter-
eSts.

Death of "Bob'' IngersOll.

In the life OF Robert G. Ingersoll may be
found paradox. he denied, as we under
stand, the divinity OF our Saviour, and re-
pudiated the idea of an over.ruling ProVi'
dence. yet in his life and character were re-
fiected more of the Christian graces than
could be found in the life and character OF
many Of the professors" AS far as we have
ever heard he lived blameless life-loVing
and devoted in his family-honest. sincere.
charitable, kind-moral and truthful. But he
denied the Saviour, and the effort OF his life
was to discount the religion Of Jesus Christ.
His splendid talents were misdirected, and
his ablest efforts were made to deprive the
Christian OF the sweet consolation which re.
ligion gives. 1t hardly seems possible that
one should 80 scrupulously regard 80 many
of the great principles, and so consistently
obey the moral law Of the religion which
he repudiated. While he denied the re-
ligion Of his fathers, yet it is true that the
beauty and pureness Of living which he ex'
emplif1ed was the inspiration Of the religion
of our Saviour. Notwithstanding his denials,
the halo and the fragrance OF the religion In
which he was born fingered about him until
the day of his death. In him the religious
world lost the services Of one who might
have been worth much to the cause which is
dearest to the human heart. His endow-
ments of head and heart eminently qualified
him for the most useful work, and the world
will always regret that his labors were mis-.
directed. He did harm and not good all the
days OF his life.

An Excellent Plan.

A woman who Is building tiny house,
which, however, is the crystallization Of
her ingenuity and ideas Of convenience
picked up here, there and everywhere, has
In the china closet opening from her din
ing room two deep drawers inserted un-
der the bottom shelf. The drawers are
each of them IA inches deep and are lined
throughout with tin. In one Of them
bread is kept and in the other cake. They
fit snugly, the cake drawer locking
Everybody knows that the tin bread and
cake boxes bought at the shops and kept
on the floors Of closets are very well while
new, but the careless maids, opening and
shutting them many times day, soon
bang them into a shape which prevents
their tight closing. When that condition
is reached, they are about as useless as an
open shelf for the purpose for which they
are designed. that of keeping out the heat
and damp air and also mice, If such infest
the place. Housekeepers whose china
closets have been in existence for years
will find it an easy matter to have such
drawers added.-Exchange.

Lirht Furniture.

1t is testimony to our growing sani-
tary wisdom that bedrooms should now be
so universally done in light effects. The
heavy suits Of furniture deemed tndispen-
sable to the bride setting up housekeeping
a generation ago, and which took aconsid-
erable share of the outfit purchase money,
are today the most unstable articles sent
to an auction room. A large and splendid
black walnut bedstead that cost $50 30
years ago, without even springs, brought
S1.5O at an auction sale. With 1t was sent
a small white iron bedstead with brass
trimmings, the sort that costs $3.50 to
$40. This was sold the same day for $3, q
good evidence of the proportionate demand
for the two articles. No heavy draperies
are put in the modern bedroom, only
dainty and washable stuffs. The air Is
allowed to penetrate freely andthe Light
as well, extra shades Of green holland be-
ing provided to darken the room for the
morning nap. The heavy mahogany or
walnut dresser has gone with the big bed
stead, the chiffonier and q little dressing
table with chevsl glass taking it's place.

The Model Hostess.

A woman may possess wealth untold,
she may have the kindest Of hearts and the
brightest of minds, but unless she has ab-
solute control Of her feelings there will be
some time in her career as hostess that she
will display annoyance or furry, and the
contagion, spreading to her guests, Will
cause an otherwise successful entertain
ment to die out in undisguised failure.
A model hostess must to all appearance
be made all Of good humor as far as dis
agreeable happenings are concerned.
Even though guest or careless servant
inadvertently breaks a bit of china which
can never be replaced she must smile on
as though the loss Of the entire set would
but emphasize the pleasure Of the evening.
Her well bred calm inspires her guests
with feeling Of confidence.
A furried hostess or nervous host; whose
countenance but sadly conceals the worry
felt, can do more toward making the
gusts uncomfortable than If the soup were
served stone cold. An imperturbable
calm and ready tact are the two impor-
tant factors In the making Of model
hostess. Secure these and you need fear
nothing.-Boston Transcript.

More LYnchtngs.

The newspapers report last week more than
the usual number Of assaults on women, and
the number Of lynohings were correspond.
ingly increased for the week. 1t matters not
in what section Of the country the assault is
made. the result Is always the same, namely
the assailant is lynched.
The strange part OF the whole thing is. that
the 1ynchings do not seem to stop the crime
OF assault on women. No man, as far as we
can recollect, has ever committed that crime
without paying the penalty with his life.
Whether South, North, East or West. the
assailants Of women fare just the same.
They are Immediately hunted and, soon as
found. they are put to death with little or no
ceremony.
The stories about officers OF the law, and the
more conservative citizens trying to stay
the hand OF the outraged mob, has become a
stereotyped, long. haired chestnut, even as
the old stories about dying Confederate Off.
GERS giving military commands in the de.
lirum which precedes death. Both OF these
stories have become antiqaated and thread
bare.

She Carries the Mail.

In an outlying district in Haddington-
shire, Scotland, 16-year-old girl acts as
mail carrier. Her daily route Is nearly 20
miles long, and she covers it afoot Every
morning at $50, after sorting the mails,
she starts out. She wears short skirt
and the stoutest of boots and leggings,
and on very stormy days waterproof uni
form provided by the authorities. About
4 p. m. she returns, and after sorting the
afternoon mails delivers kilograms In the
village. She was only 10 or 13 when she
began letter carrying. Her route leads
through such scattered farmsteads and
through so many brooks and braes and
hedges that bicycle or horse would be
Of little service to her.

The state Press Association.

The State Press Association meets this week
at Harris Lithia Springs. An Interesting
program has been arranged for the brethren
and various editors have proposed to supple
ment the regular program by the discussion
of other matters which concern us all.
II the suggestions are adopted and the pro-
gram is carried out good may be accomplished
for the editors, as we'll as the public.
AS suggestions seem to be the order OF the
day we hope that We may do no violence 10
any of the proprieties by suggesting that
editors too often talk "shop" In their edito'
rial columns and too often speak of purely
business matters In which the public Is not
interested.
In every we'll regulated printing office there
ia a sort of Masonry which prohibits indis
crIminste talk about its business affairs. The
same is true Of almost every line OF trade.
In every household, in every farm, In every
store, in every machine shop. In every law
Office, and in every printing office there are
matters with which the outside public have
no business. And to talk indiscreetly OF ones
own private affairs is injurious to the busi.
ness which we pursue.
We would further suggest, that editors
treat each other throughout the year with the
same courtesy which they are ready to ex'
tend to other citizens. AS far as we have been
able TO discover, the editors Of this State, as
good citizens, average we'll with their neigh
bora in the respective localities, and, even II
they did not deserve .civility, about nine
times out Of ten 1t is both as pleasant and as
profitable to preserve at least the exterpals oi
good feeling. The promptings of good
heart and the advantages Of selfinterest
should not be disregarded, even In our inter
course with the brethren. II we follow this
rule the meetings would be attended with
pleasure, and each brother would be glad to
meet every other brother.
The Press and Banner sends greetings to the
brethren at Harris Lithia Springs. May their
meeting be pleasant and profitable. and may
harmony and good feeling characterize the
conduct of ALL

Business Partnership Of Matrimony

Business Partnership OF matr1m0nys
The time to begin to learn from each
other is when people are first married,
when life is still a playground to them and
when ro1cantic love condones what In later
years might seem nagging or carping crit
icism. We are all creatures Of habit. Il
we get used to the business partnership OF
matrimony in our youth, 1t becomes Sec
ond nature and not hardship nor dis
illusionment. If people would take time
to understand each other and to cultivate
mutual confidence, how much easier mar
ried life would become-in fact, all hfei
To be sure, we only hear Of the unhappy
marriages, while great numbers Of people

Each one of US is bound to make the
little circle in which he lives better
and happier ; each of us is bound to
see that out of that small circle the
widest good may flow each of US may
have fixed in his mind the thought
that out of single household may
flow influences which stimulate the
whole common wealth and the whole
civilized world.
Carlyle says: "Under the aky is no
uglier spectacle than two men with
clinched teeth and hell-fire eyes back
ing one another's flesh. converting
precious living bodies and priceless
living souls into nameless masses of
putrescence, only for turing manure" "
We 60 on carelessly, never dreaming
that we shall see our seeds again, or
have anything more to do with them.
Then some day we come upon an ugly
plant growing somewhere and when
we ask, "What is this ?" comes the
an-wer: II am one Of your plants.
You dropped the seeds which grew
into me-"
Love is implied in a gracious faith.
1t is an ingredient in it and belongs to
it's essence and is, as it were, the very
soul of it, or its working, operative
nature. As the working, operative
nature of man is his soul, 30 the work
ing, and operative nature of faith Is
love. And 80 faith is, in some re-
spects, implied in love for it is essen
tial to true Christian love that it be a
believing love.
The great means of doing good,
though we cannot tell why or how,
only because God so directed it, Is by
example. We are to be ourselves
what we would have Others to be.
And this not only when others know
it, but in all places for I believe that
what we do in secret affects others.
1t is hard work reading the Bible in
the dim tallow dip light of a half con-
secrated life.
Revenge is boomerang that requir-
es no skill to throw it so that it will
turn back upon you.
Good things are common property.
Good men belong to humity. They
are Gods gifts to the world.
Greed and chracter react upon each
other. Character is nodded by creed,
and creed Is colored by character.
He that would make his life an un-
failing stream of joy must keep the
spring thereof well filled with love.
