while I was stopping with old. Dan
Mosher of the Cumberland mountains" !"
remarked our. Southern Tramp, says
the Detroit Free Press. "a stranger
came along one afternoon, and asked
if he could be accommodated for the
night. As old Dan had a still not far
away, and as knew he would be sus-
piciOus of the stranger, I felt curious
to know how he would act. He looked
at the stranger for a minute as if to
size him UP, and then invited him
aside. They talked together for a
quarter of an hour, and then Dan an
nounced that the stranger was all right
and should be taken care of. 1t was
next day before 1 had a chance TO in
quire of the moonshiner how the man
had set his suspicious at rest, and he

wrapped in a piece of brown paper,
and accompanying il was a sheet of

That is a rather interesting propo-
sition which a New York banking firm
makes in regard to taking up Vene-
zuela's obligati to Germany, Eng
land and France. 1t is nothing less
than that the United States shall guar
antee the bonds which Venezuela pro-
poses to issue in payment of her debts
the banking firm to have the ar
ranging of the whole matter. OF course
the bonds would be worth as much as
the bonds of the United States. II
the United States should go into the
business of guaranteeing the bonds OF
Central and South American Republics
they would find plenty of use for their
credit. Venezuelan bonds guaranteed
by the United States would. no doubt,
have to be paid by the United States.
The probability that the proposition of
the New York banking firm will be
accepted is very remote.

The speedy disposition of the suit
to invalidate the new constitution of
Virginia, by Chief Justice Fuller and
Judge Waddill in the United States
Circuit Court at Richmond, was a se-
we're rap at John S. Wise and those
who We're associated with him. The
court said ii had no jurisdiction. An
appeal will be taken. The questions
and remarks of Chief Justice Fuller in
dicated that he had little sympathy
with the movement, and that he
thought any possible question of the
rights of negroes to registration should
be brought before the Virginia Su-
preme Court. 1t is pleasure to note
that John G. Carlisle was not asso-
ciated with Mr.. Wise in the case. as
was reported he would be, It would
be disagreeable to find Mr.. Carlisle en-
deavoring for fee TO prevent a state
from founding its government upon in
tellisence and enlightenment.

DANGERS OF WEALTH.

On Thanksgiving Day. Bishop George
sermon in Old Trinity Church, New
York city, in the course of which he
said that this was an age of luxury,
where wealth accumulates and men
decay He took very pessimistic
view of the country, pointing out that
there is peril in our prosperity. In his
view there Is distinct deterioration
in the standard of public morals. He
said: There does not appear to be less
purity and integrity in individuals, but
there seems TO be less in us as a ma
tion. We seem to be less careful of the
personal purity of those whom we put
in authority. We are not so careful
lest the heads of branches of our gov
ernment are not such upright men as
they should be-"
There is no doubt peril in our wealth
and peril in our prosperity. AS a ma
tion grows wealthy it is less influence
ed by those homely virtues which made
ii strong and vigorous in it's earlier
years, Still, there are no signs of de-
cay in this republic yet, and it may
be that there will always be virtue
enough in the people to save it from
the fate that overlook Rome. While it
is always timely to admonish the peo-
pie of the dangers with which they
are threatened, 1t is safe prediction
that none now living will see the down.

which come from accumulated wealth

IN THE NAME of SPORT.

The New York Tribune expresses sin
cere regret in noting the survival in
its state of the ''side hunt" hunt of
which kind was recently held near the
town of Rome, in Oneida county. In
the interior of New York state 1t is
said the side hunt" is regarded as
great sport and is indulged in annually.
sport" of the kind is unknown in
Georgia, so far as our information
goes. Georgia sportsmen would scorn
to indulge in such pastime.
The "side hunt" is so called because
a number of gunners are divided into
two sides or parties of equal numbers.
Sometimes a side contains six or eight
persons and sometimes as high as
twenty or twenty-five. The hunt usu-
ally extends over three days. During
this time every living bird or beast
not especially protected by law that
comes within the range Of the hunters
is counted legitimate game. The con-
test consists in seeing which side can
make, numerically, the greatest kill
ing. Sparrows, owls, song birds, stray
cats-any wild thing with feathers
hair or hide, or any domesticated fowl
or small animal found away from home
that may be shot without fear of the
law-find their way into the game bags
of these "sportsmen." After three
days of securing a given area of coun-
itry the side that can show the great
est number of victims wins the prize.
Could there be more wanton slaugh-
ter of the innocents? If it were desir-
able TO wipe all wild life out of sec
ton. the side hunt would be about
the best conceivable means to be en-
ployed. The Tribune intimates that
the New York Legislature will be ask
ed to put a stop to this cruel travesty
upon sport. 1t ought to be stopped.
1t is an outrage. The only modifica-
ton in the rules of the "side hunt
that could possibly render it less OBJ
jectionahle would be the making OF
the hunters on each side legitimate
game for those on the other side.

JEWS IN ROUMAN1A,

NJ. Montcdore enters an earnest pro-
test i'm the London Spectator against
the persecution Of Jews IN Roumana.
He lays the responsibility upon the
Berlin treaty powers that have neg
lected TO carry out the provisions Of the
treaty to which they affixed their sig
natures in 1873.
In Roumania, The writer says, the
Jews are treated as ALIENS All sorts
Of disabilities are imposed upon them.
They are excluded from the schools,
from the professions and from trade
after trade. As foreigners not sub
ject to any foreign power obligations
are imposed upon them, from which
other foreigners are exempt. And II they
protest. they are liable to expulsion.
The object Of the persecution is, ac-
cordlng to Montehore two.foid. In the
first place, It is designed TO keep the
Jews IN a more or less degraded state,
so as to perpetuate the excuse for not
emancipating; and in the second place,
It is intended-and this Is quite openly
avowed-to force an emigration which
will keep their numbers I'm the country
stationary. But all the countries in
western Europe object TO Jewish immi-
grafton. Where can they go?
It is such conditions as these that
have given birth TO the idea Of a revival
OF the Jewish nation In a land once
their own The eyes Of many Of the
race are again directed toward Pales-
tine, as the land OF promise. In the
United States, where all races and
creeds are treated on principles Of
equality, the oppression Of the Hebrews
In other countries Is difficult to realize.
Il is nevertheless, a fact that II exists.
and there seems TO be no permanent
home no liberty in the Old World, for
the Jews, until they can claim home
and a government Of their own. The
appeal to the Berlin treaty powers In
their behalf win be az ineffective. az II

my mother was when she sprs d for

These parties are all bound for their

President Kruger, and It is said he still

made by the heavy chains that were
placed upon him. At Durham he was
sentenced to be shot as spy But two
hours before the execution was to have
taken place, a message from the Ger
man foreign office arrived aud the
British RENTED the sentence and sent
the baron to Bermuda as a prisoner Of
war.
But while many Of the Beers are
vending their way homeward, others
seem TO be contemplating an immigra-
ton into this country, ST. Paul re-
Gently was visited By an ex-Boer sold
fer Louis Villers, who stated TO a rep
resentative Of the Globe, that he was
en- route TO the far west, to inspect
land for prospective Boer settlers. He
also said that while his people are glad
the war is over their sentiment to-
wards Great Britain has not changed,
and will not change, They will go back
to their farms and build up the country
and be respected, as they always have
been. But, he continued, thousands Of
Beers win turn their steps toward this
country. MANY Of them are left pen
nlless by the war, many have no kim
dred left, they have little heart to be-
gin the fight again in their old home,
and will venture west in search OF
new fortune"
Mr.. villers concluded by stating that
next spring he will bring large colony
to some place in the west where they
can settle on farms
They should be desirable citizens.
Industry, frugallty and patriotism are
qualities much appreciated in this
country, and in these they have proved
themselves great, both in peace and
