ISLIFG WORTH LIVING,

This question has recently been ask

Richmond Times. Dispatch, and varied
answers have appeared in the news
columns Of the same paper from time
to time.
IL human life is but the vestibule to
heaven Of unfadiug glory, then there
can be but one rational reply to the
question. life is worth living. This
apart, however, and we but repeat the
voice of humanity the world over and
sounding out Of all the ages gone and
trembling out Of the thrilling present
in which We live, life is worth liv-
ing. During the year just gone some
thing like six thousand out Of the
eighty million Of American people did
fling away this thing we call life as
worthless, while the overshadowing
majority did cling 10 it, and are cling
ing 10 10 with desperate tenacity, and
priced AID are priziugit as the pearl Of
great price. What's true Of America
is true Of all lands and all seas upon
which the sun Of God is shining, and
what does this all mean unless it
means that m the estimation Of man
life is worth living?

SHALL RELIGION BE TAUGHT IN
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLSl

Rev. Dr. Hawthorn, of the Baptist
Church, one Of the leading preachers Of
the age, IN recent sermon took strong
grounds against it. We do not purpose
crossing lances with the learned d. D.
but we beg to quote from a consecrated
woman who has this to say:
III religion is banished from the
schools, the next generation of Ameri.
can men and women who have been
trained in the public schools will be
merely educated animals, with no
hlgher motives in their work than the
poor little monkeys on the street, who
nave been taught to dance to earn their
living"
Is the ID. ID. right or the dear woman?

FUSION AND FUSS.

What an ugly picture the Norfolk
fusion presents now that il has been
exposed wrinkles" and all, to public
gaze. Men guilty Of such unholy ALI
ance should be ashamed TO call them
selves Democrats.
Throw OIL your disguise, We criminal
conspirators, and II We will serve the
devil have the courage to wear bis
'livery." Democracy has never yet
lowered the flag in presence Of open foe,
but the bravest of earth are not safe
from the stab Of an enemy masked as
a friend. And to the horrors Of "a Nor
folk fusion now must be added the
terrors Of a general fuss in the Demo-
cratic family. Mr.. German, the most
conspicuous candidate for presiden-
tial honOrs, fails to command the sup
port Of his own small Stale. Over
Jealous friends Of Mr. Cleveland are
forcing him to the fore when they

Ocratic following, while Mr.. Bryan is
madly disturbing the smoldering ash
es Of a dead past, with no other ration
al hope than to kindle a flaming dis
cord which can but consume the last
vestige Of Democratic hope for national
success.
What does it all mean? Nothing
but this: "Whom the gods wish to
destroy they first make mad" Moth
ing remains for the rank and file Of
