Again, my text has good advice con-
cerning any Christian hanpered and
bothered and bound by fear Of his own
dissolution. To such the book refers
when it speaks of those who through
fear Of death were all their lifetime sub
ject to bondage. The most of us, even
if we have the Christian hope, are cow
ards about death. If a plank fall from

HE KNEW BRYAN.
A Talk with Secretary Garland of the
Portland Y. NJ. {. A.

In Secretary Garland of the Z. NJ. G.
A., Portland has citizen who for i've
years resided in Lincoln, Neb., and who
was personal friend of no less a person
age than Hon. William jennings Bryan,
four years ago and this year the Demo-
cratic candidate for President. The fact
has not been generally known owing to
the characteristic modesty of Secretary
Garland in talking but slightly of his
own personal affairs.
Eyes, I went to Lincoln to take a posi-
ion In bank at about the same time
that Col. Bryan settled in that city,
said Mr.. Garland. bryan began the
practice of law In Lincoln and he occu-
pied offices in building which was direct
ly across the street from where was
located. We had nothing in common, and
"a consequences were not thrown togeth-
er great deal, But I knew Bryan and
used to meet him coming and going.
He had at that time just begun to become
interested In politics, and it was not long
before he branched out and had large,
good reputation in that part of the eoun-
try. l am pleased to testify that he Is
splendid man personally, and that his
private character cannot be assaulted. He
is strong, clean man who has no bad
habits. But in those days-from '85 to
'90--there were of course many lawyers
who were far better known than Mr..
Bryan, and it is surprise to me that
they have never yet been heard of out of
Nebraska. Since l left Nebraska have
seen Mr.. Bryan only once, and then did
not have the chance to speak to him.
Secretary Garland was we'll acquainted
with the Late Admiral John W. Philip,
meeting him in connection with Y. NJ
@. A. work in which this brilliant
commander was very prominent. II last
saw Admiral Philip at Detroit, Mich,
last fall, - said Secretary Garland. "W
held our national convention in that city,
and Philip was chosen to preside. He
was then the perfect picture OF health.
He made many bright hits while presid-
Ing, once stopping In the deliberations to
explain that he could do better justice to
himself and every cody else by fighting
Spaniards than by deciding points of
order. He was a gentleman and was
thoroughly beloved by all of his men.

DECREASE IN NEGRO LABOR.

There is some anxiety felt by cotton
planters as to the future of cotton pro-
duction in the south. 1t is feared that
the labor cannot be found to keep the
increasing crops. We notice that a
Mr.. Alexander, now farming in Arkan-
sas, but hailing from North Carolina,
is in Cairo, ILL.,, and has been giving
his views as to labor supply-the GER
tain decrease in negro service. He is
reported as saying:
THE cotton loborer is the black man
and members of his family, and the in
crease of this character of population
is no where neal what it was in former
years. The umb of children born
to each man and wife is smaller and
growing smaller each year. There is
not enough labor in the south at this
time to pick II, coo, 600. bales. n the
production is lowering near that Inquire.
A short time ago something over H.
900, 900 bales were raised, but some of
it rotted in the field; there were not
enough hands to pick it. A great deal
of the white labor which in years back
gathered cotton is going to the towns
and the acreage has been W fas-
ter than h labor to harvest the crop.
= Well, if they will grow less cotton
they will be sure to realize more clear
money from it. Facts show this be-
yond all question. If the greed gets
ahead of the judgment the loss will
come upon the pockets. While negro
and white farm b may decrease so
may the production of cotton, but that
does not mean 5 cents or 6 cents a
pound, but 10 or II cents. There is big
money for cotton planters in smaller
crops. and 10 cents cotton. The plant
ers have much of results in their own
hands after God sends the rains and
prop;tious seasons generally.

CRIME RAMPANT.

That crime is rampant and criminals
more daring and deviIish than former
ly is seen in the records of the dailies.
A. J. Hubbard, a Baltimore jeweller,
was assaulted and robbed in his store
in broad daylight and at an hour when
hundreds of people were. passing up
and down the street outside. He was
beaten into insensibility and robbed of
IS, 200. Mr.. Hubbard is old, but he
made a desperate struggle with his as
sailants, two young white villains who
need the rope. Three men are under
arrest. This in a city of a half million
in the midst of thousands of people.
Look at the foul robbery and murder
Of two helpless, respectable white wo-
men near Charlotte. Human life Is
wonderfully cheap in the United States
now. You cannot cad an important dali
ly without finding a CHASTITY record of
cruelty and deviltry and murders and
robberfes and so on. Crime should be
handed down, and human life be made
sacred and safe in this land. Hundreds
of years ago in Merry England" it
was the boast of one of its kings that
in every part of his dominion life was
safe and that a purse Of money would
remain untouched wherever hanged
upon a bush.

ssHEAR THE OTHER SIDE"

The Chinese minister at Washington
made an address in Philadelphia on
the goth before h American Academy
of Political and Social Science. He gave
his own country's side, as he understood
it, OF the CONTROVERSY with the great
nations. He undertook to show how
China had been goaded by a heavy
load of injustice. He did not try to
defend the Beers, but he showed how
foreigners had themselves paved the
way for trouble. We copy a para
graph from his remarks:
ut is an indisputable fact that there
is a strong feeling against foreigners
at the present day. The question is.
How has this change come about? We
have to go back to the events of the
last half century. We find that for
eignerS from the res did not belong
to the same class of persons We had
beeen accustomed to deal with. They
were different in color, race and Ian
guage n did not observe our customs
and Difficulties and disputes
arising from misunderstanding result
ed in warfare. In order to make peace
China had to grant extraordinary priv
ilegeS to foreigners and pay heavy in
IDENTITIES. After such a sad experience,
is it a wonder that the Chinese people
entertain anything but friendly Sent1-
mentS toward foreignerS?"
He had something to say as to the
pressing question of foreign mission
aries. He awarded both praise and
blame, and commended the success of
the missionary physicians especially in
their work.. He said some missionaries
were indiscreet, offensive needlessly
and sometimes wen interfered in the
administration of justice, which gave
offence n provoked opposition. We
quote once more. He said:
by treaty missionaries have a right
to reside in amy part of China Other
foreigners are allowed to reside only in
the treaty ports In the interior a mis-
sionary ann but excite a great deal
of curiosity, especially when he retains
his national dress. When he, moreover,
publicly condemns the cherished ira
ditions of China and proclaims the
worship of ancestors and idols ito be a
useless performance, the feeling of the
Chinese people can be easily understood.
Missionaries liz placed in a very deli
cate situation, and not all of them are
cautious and discreet"

the organization of any considerable

to the Democratic party, would have a
decided effect in checking the DISPOSE
ton to embark upon such an undertake
ing.
To sum. up. 1T seems to me that the

THE CIGARETTE IN THE u. s.
SUPREME COURT.

Some year or 50 ago the Messenger
directed attention to an elaborate at
tempt of the London Lancet, leading
medical publication in Great Britain,
to minimize the evils of the cigarette
and to make it, if we recall correct
ly, quite free from dangers to the
smoking race. Now Mr.. Justice Brown,
of h United States supreme court, in
a recent opinion declares that tobacco
is "a solace to mankind" and so is
whiskey in the judgment and usage of
many. He held that cigarettes may be
an especially hurtful form of tobacco,
but he says that opinion is of compare
lively recent origin. Is it correct?
What say expert physicians? What .
results show? Justice Brown holds
that cigarettes are as much a subject
of state regulation as liquer, and while
no state can prohibit their importation
in original packages, nevertheless when
the original packages n broken then
the cigarettes become subject to police
regulations OF the state wherein they
are sold or attempted to De sold. OF
the nine justices four diSSented from
this opinion, the four holding that the
congress alone mas control of Interstate
