GAGE AND THE SURPLUS.

The recent financial excitement in
New York. and the curse pursued by
McKinley's secretary of the treasury
has awakened a profound surprise and
comment in and out of the congress.
The cry ven out in wild vociferation,
there is a threatened panic. Even that
wool-dyed administration organ, The
Philadelphia Press, gave what it's New
York correspondent said of the dan
ger-"that unless Congress takes some
action that will relieve the treasury
department of the responsibility and
remove the danger of financial strin-
gency next summer, the administration
will find itself compelled to accept one
of two alternatives etc.
And yet there was a surplus to annoy
the secretary and he had to do strange
and indefensible things. That able
weekly, The Philadelphia American, in
it's issue of the 18th instant, avs
He must prevent the accumulation
of such surplus in the treasury vaults;
he must not take the moneys that such
surplus represents out OF the reach of
Wall street. Aye, ITO Stave off the
threatened crash he is called upon to
do much more than this. He is called
upon TO put moneys now IN the treas
ury within the reach of Wall street.
For the speculative bubble has been
so inflated, and inflated upon loans
made upon the basis of moneys depos-
tied by the country in New York when
there was not demand for such money
in industrial channels, that the draw
ing away of those moneys leaves the
whole great bubble, supported IN loans,
indanger of collapse. Unless moneys
~ - he 1rAxi1Al f-4,o tIna eo,,-aA 80
take the place of the moneys drawn
away, and so that contraction of loans
may be avoided, there must be collapse.
And SO is the treasury called upon
while Mr.. Gage is worried to find ways
in which TO respond"

STRENGTH OF LEES AND GRANTS
RMIES

1t is noticeable, as the Messenger has
of the wal are anxious to make it APP
pear that the north with it's Zoo, 000
soldiers in the army, exclusive of pro-
badly 200, 900 in navy, fought against
very nearly or quite equal numbers in
battle That is to say, the south that
never had more than 600, 900, according
to Adjutant Genera Cooper, and never
could on any day put into actual service
200. 900 men, as General Cooper said,
was able to meet with as strong an
with it all of its immense and
huge armies. The War Records pub
liShed by the United States govern
ment give 2, 700, 900 as the strength of
the northern armies in the four years
of war.
Strange to say a Mississippian. Mr..
Chapman, has been eXerting his powers
to prove hat Lee had a much larger
army h it la been generally under
stood to have been, in his long wrestle
with Grant in many battles. This is
absurd and rests only upon northern
figures. General Grant understood
the character of the conflict and
the enormous difference in the pow
er and resources of the two antag-
onizing sections. He said the way to
end the war was to fight the south on
all opportunities-that whe nthe south
lost a man he would never be replaced,

hat is named, o only in this world,
but also in that which is to come"
It is possible to know even here, in this
lower world, a great deal about God.
We may know what God has revealed
himself for our instruction, for our
pleasure and comfort and guidance.
We may know what it is He has
invited us to hope for, ito look for, to
enjoy-eternal life" We may know
what are 1.-The riches of His glory"
which was referred to in last Sundays
study. We may know what has been
set forth in the three verses copied
above-"the exceeding greatness of His
power to usward"-but mark condi-
Ition-"who believe" We may know
much of what o has done in the
great redemptive scheme, such a mar
vellous expression of His will, in order
that W. might be saved, be transform
ed, be made holy and happy forever.
M all this in full accord with and be-
cause of the working of His mighty
power" through the efficacy of the
blood of Jesus and the r%enovating, re-
constructing, regenerating, recreating
power Of the Holy Spirit. Such are the
strange, the mighty mysteries we must
pray to enjoy and to understand. "Such
are the marvellous things which we
must look into with eyes enlightened
by His grace,' things which He
wrought in Christ" as was manifest
ed when He raised" Him from the
dead''; and when He set Him at His
own right hand in the Heavenly
places; as when He exalted Him, His
own well beloved Son. FAR above all
principality," absolutely above all
t~hings-above "all power, and might,
and dominion"-above every name both
in Heaven and earth, making Him, as
stated in the 22nd verse, t head of
all things to the church, which is His
body" A man who can know these
things should be glad indeed and
knowing them he is wise as to those
things which concern his own everlast-
ing salvation. Would that We might
really know these things as God has
been pleased to reveal them! For then
how could we help loving to know
them more and more? how not love to
do that which we find to be Gods will?
how not long to enjoy that which we
are told is His glory?" (Girdlestone).
Worldly, wicked men know nothing of
these solemn mysteries, of these bless
ed revelations of God. No man loves
God who wantonly, deliberately dis
obeys God. No man has fellowship
with His Son who rejects His offer of
eternal life and spurns His service. No
man knows that his sins are forgiven
who continues in sin and lives in the
world and for the world. There is no
better proof of guilt and condemnation
than for a man to show in his life that
he is under the power of sin. Now, God
helps us to understand this, and to see
the truth clearly as revealed in His
Book of books and in the Lord Jesus
Christ. Christ is all and in all, for
Christ is God. Obey Him always that
He may be in you and may abide with
you forever.

The snake is scotched not killed.
Trying white men by magistrates
has stopped in some communities, but
not in all. New Bern has had a new
evidence of this fact. A negro named
Chapman proposed to try a gentleman
upon a charge brought by two negroes.
When the whites heard of it they o
fire at once. A dispatch to The Raleigh
News and Observer gives the sequel:
Promptly at $50 a committee waited
on the negro magistrate, whose name is
Chapman, and informed him that it
would be unhealthy for him to proceed
further in the matter. The said negro
magistrate saw the point and made
haste to transfer the case to a white
magistrate. The people here are de-
termined to have no more negroiSm, no
matter what measures nay be neces-
sary to suppress IT."
That is the strong resolve all over the
heretofore negro-ridden counties. A
White Mans government for white
people is the law and it will be enforc-
ed. And a thousand PritchardS n
Russells and Buffers cannot prevent it.

sent only a fraction of the gross saw

the great amount of $3SS, 000. 600; that

Senator Vest is in feeble health, but
still d tower of mental strength, re-
lbuked h organs OF Imperialism for
their assaults upon those who oppose
~McKinleyism and its bad results. He
referred to the denunciations of any
man who dared to oppose his madness.
and their being called traitors. etc. The
real traitors to this country are those
who would destroy the republican form
of government and substitute a strong
government or an empire. The true
traitors to the Republic are those who
prosecute a barbarous war against the
weak and would deprive them the right
of self-government. The Washington
Post, an organ OF expansion, Ia grace
and fairness enough to say this:
Weeks ago The Post protested
against the narrow and proscriptive
policy Of d~enouncing every n who
failed to celebrate the governments
latitude toward our new territorial ac-
lquisitions. We said then, what Sena-
tor Vest says now, that that policy OF
Pronunciation is as foolish as il is
wicked, and il viii recoil upon its
champions and advocates. The time
has passed when free citizens of a free
lcountry can be successfully silenced in
the expression Of their honest opinions,
Ior when any clique can ostracize and
degrade those who do not reverentIy
subscribe to their petty Nominations.
The attempt to brand as traitors and
allies of the ridiculous Agufnaldo every
human being who questions the wisdom
and efficacy OF the military operations
Iof General Otis is so silly and so i'm
lpudent as hardly to merit serious con-
Isideration."
