What does the general discon-
tent existent all over this country
just now portend? Are the Amer
lean people disturbed over their
governmental aaffirs in commercial
channels. There is great under
tow of unrest flowing continuously
throughout the length and breadth
of the Nation. Does this dissatis-
faction strike deep enough to
mean a turning out of the party
that has been welding the sceptre
of state for two quadrenniums,
yea for forty years with the excep-
tion of the eight years broken by
Cleveland's administrations, and the
trial of old Democracy once. We
believe so.

AS to her fitness for the world of
industry and commerce and finance,
it is to be hoped that she would not

she might not believe in our painless,
hopeless and loveiess cut throat CONT

Maybe she would not allow five men
to so control the coal output and re-

Prohibition Is SCriptural.

There is no Scripture authority
for prohibition. say the publicans.
Who are these that have grown so
wise? Because the Galilean drank
a glass of homegrown wine and
provided a miraculous supply for
the wedding in Cana, these advo-
Gates of Individual rights against
society would maintain at every
street corner, in every village, and
at every cross road legalized estab-
lishment for selling 'rot-gut" whis-
key, chemically poisoned lager beer,
and decoction of FOOLS bane call
ed wine, not one 1.-THE of which
was ever inside the skin Of a grape.
Nothing better proves the essential
criminality of the liquor traffic
than the lack of conscience in those
employed in it.
To say that the Scriptures does
not condemn the crime represen-
ted in the whiskey traffic is to be
absurd or worse. AS we'll say it
does not condemn lust or extortion.
There is no inhibition in the Scrip
lures of the opium traffic, of slav-
cry, and of many other crimes
that have been summarily suppress
ed by modern State authority.
Though the letter may be absent,
the spirit is tremendously present.
This whole prohibition question
is one of common sense and COM
mon justice to the weak. In
sense also it is a matter of COM
mon law.-Dr. HI. M. DuBose.

Worth Quoting.

Worth Quoting
Some person is responsible for
every infraction of law. The cor
poration can be guilty of nothing
because it is not possessed of a NOR
al nature. Blame can not be fixed
upon it. AS we'll fine imprison-
ment gun which is used in the
commission of murder as to fine
a corporation for violating the law.
The prime requisite in dealing
with corporations is to ascertain
The responsible parties and apply
the law to them as individuals.
Laws should be passed compell-
ing every corporation to designate
an executive head and hold that
executive head responsible for the
acts of his company as truly as for
his acta S an individual. Let the
moral reprobation for his acts as
the executive head of corporation
be identified with the moral repro
baton Of his acts as an individual.
Ten men in the penitentiary would
be a better deterrent from the
violation of the law than the col
lection of millions of dollars in
fines. We would then be saved the
humiIiating spectacle of Furnishing
whom we should protect and pro-
tecting whom we should punish.
Our system tends to develop anarch-
lists from patriots. The spectacle
of our nation is that of an I'M
natural mother who pets and cod
dies her strong sons and daughters
but beats and starves her weak
ones.

A Selectionh.

A Selectionh.
A bad temper is one of the worst
things with which a man or wom-
an can be afflicted. 1t is curse
to the possessor, and those who are
obliged to live in the same house
with the possessor of the complain
ing temper are martyrs. 1t is
often said that we should not let
the bad temper of others influence
us, but it would be as unreasonable
to spread blister of Spanish flies
on the skin ands not expect it to
raw as to think of a family not
suffering on account of the bad
temper of one of its members.
1t is like the sting of scorpion, or
of several scorpions, a perpetual
source of irritation, destroying
your peace and rendering life like
a burden. To hear one everlasting
complaint and growl proceeding
from what is aptly called "chron-
ic kicker" to have every agreeable
thought chased away by this evil
spirit of disputatiousness, is more
than flesh and blood can stand.
This would be a better word if
he people who lose their tempers
would never find them again.
