The Mistake Of Mothers.

But no one can take mothers

that mother makes who sacrifices

however important, or any hospital,
however merciful, or any outside bene-
ficence. however glorious and grand.
Not understanding this, we mistake
when We try to give statistics as to
how many Christians there are in our
churches in the world We understate
the facts. We look over our church
audiences on the Sabbath or our
weekly service and conclude that they
represent the amount of piety In that
neighborhood. Oh, no! There are
many most consecrated souls that are
not found in churches. Look into
those houses with large families Of
children and little or no hired help.
For much of the year there Is some
one Ill, and a special guardian care is
requisite. How much time can that
mother give to churches and prayer
meetings when most of the family
are down with scarlet fever or have

About McLaurin's Porto Rico Vote.

Yorkville Enquirer.
After calling especial attention to
the circumstance that the anti-Mc-
Laurin newspapers failed to acknowl-
edge the Senator's vote on the Porto
Rican tariff bill, the manning Times
goes on to say:
"What we started to show, how.
ever, was the systematic efforts on
the part of McLaurin's enemies to
conceal what he does do that will
meet with the peoples approval, and
to msgnify, and comfort into misrep-
resentation such acts as they think
will be approved of. The Record
shows McLaurin to have voted on
every party measure with his party
and it also shows that be has had
the manliness to be Independent of
all cliques or political clans. This
fight on McLaurin now would have
heen made on Senator Tillman; but
those opposed to Tillman know they
stand no chance to defeat him than
cat in an oil tank without claws;
so they begin far ahead blazing the
way to McLaurin's defeat. But two
years is long way off, and the con-
spirators may be striking at the base
of a tree which will come down on
themselves with destructive force"
We do not think The Times has
any occasion to worry. That saying
of Lincoln's to the effect that 'you
can fool all the people some of the
time and some of the people all the
time: but you can't fool all the peo-
pie all the time," was great. 1t was
true then and it is true now. The
people have plenty of time in which
to adjudicate the case of Newspapers
vs.. McLaurin, and it is quite proba-
bic that their verdict, when it is
rendered, will be pretty nearly right.
