AN APPEAL TO THE STOMACH.


In the days of the Irish famine, the
Bible Societies of England saw an ex-
cellent opportunity to proselytize The
poor Irish Catholics and theoretically
set to5work to start soup houses wherS
food would be given to those who ap-
piled Tor 1t on condition they would
renounce their faith and .become Pro-
testants. Some Of the starving peopls
accepted the offer win mental reser-
walton and resolved to cut loose from
such establishments when times got
better; but the majority of the peo-
pie preferred to die rather than &C.
cept aid under such circumstances,
Many educated Irishmen, suffering
from restitution, were employed as
readers of the Protestant Bible in
Irish. and went round among the
peasantry reading the King. James
version in the Irish vernacular. Day
schools were started where Catholic
children were furnished with free din
ners. but few of the little ones ever
attended. Everything had previously
been tried to make the Irish Catholics
abandon their faith, and the appeal 10
their stomachs proved just as success
full as the appeal to their intellects.
1t may be that the method adopted
In the famine years was less tyran-
nical than in previous ages, but It
was mean and contemplate way { I
obtaining converts. We had fondly
hoped that such a system Of proselyt-
ism had fallen into innocuous desuet-
ude in all civilized countries in this
age of enlightenment, but it appears it
is being used in Italy at the pres
ent time, according to a Roman cor
respondent, who says:
"The good English ladies who seek
to make good Roman Protestants' In
the City of the Popes continue their
work year by year with undated Wig
or. Money is lavished with unsparing
hands among the poorest Of the poor
In Rome, provided they abandon tho
church In which they were baptized
and consent to step inside a Luther
an establishment at least once a wee,,.
One hears occasionally of the unwor-
thy tactics employed by those Jealous
ladies. When engaged in their Cos
pei campaign among the poor, they
generally look for the out of works
and decide to- make a prey of them.
First the husband is gained over by a
few bright English sovereigns: then
the wife, who may not have supper
for the little ones, is coaxed to the
right faith Needless to say, the con.
quest of the rest Of the family is easy,
Some are drawn away from the Catho-
lie church, but the interesting ques-
ton is, do these converts remain IN
their new beliefs? The answer was
given me two days ago by one who
knows the circumstances well. The
poor proselytes never remain in the
Protestant church. for the simple
reason that they never believe in its
tenets and merely enter 1t to tide over
temporary pecuniary embarrassment.

A German writer who has been vis-
iting America has this to say of the
origin of American millonaires: They
all came to New York. Chicago Or
Philadelphia with one shirt and WITH
out a cent in the pockets of the only
other garment. All served as boot
blacks. errand boys. or even in more
humble positions. and in the second
week had saved enough to buy IL
waistcoat. After one month they ap-
peared before their respective employ
ers clad in new clothes and told them
with imposing self-confidence that the
organization of their business was de-.
fsctive and required reorganization. A
year later the boy has become a part
ner, in two years he has outstripped
the former boss in wealth; and a year
later he has grown smart enough to
kill off the benefactor of other days"

that millions Of such souls could
at once play football on a needle
point andhave oceans of territory
to spare. Not single reason is
brought forth in justification of
such a cry except that written in
giant characters between the
lines, which we feel assured the
writer saw not until he learned
reason that the wishes of
his masters would be
thereby most happily served.
This, however, not being in line
with the welfare of the village,
must be denied. Mr.. Englehart
will not resign, this being his
own emphatic declaration.
Englehart is a man of good
penetration and thoughtfulness;
of clean aspiration and convic-
ton; great courage and energy;
large grasp of affairs in general
and possessed Of a real public
spirit which elevates him into an
atmosphere to which this atom
of spite and spleen cannot rise.
That this is true, we have only to
refer the readers of this paper to
it's issue of November Is, where
in all these attributes were prom
inently displayed and a public
duty discharged when the editor
of the Brindle Calf was publicly
pilloried in an article signed by
Mr.. Englehart, not one thought
of which was not the independent
thought of himself, and by the
same token is the thought as
we'll as conviction of all the peo-
pie of this little city, regardless
of sex or political affiliation.
People in this good old town diff
fer with the Brindle Calf and
do not think their women vio-
lated every law of decency and
morality last election day; do
not love the character assassin.
The lowering brow, shifty eye
and Bringing manner of the male
factor fawning for favor when
hope is ebbing; the headsman
stalking behind the hapless,
trembling wretch whose shrift is
very brief, is perhaps more fully
appreciative of the fleeing NOM
ents than more happily condi-
toned souls; he excites real pity;
yet we doubt whether his plight
be more pitiable than that of the
would-be character assassin.
For the latter excites no SYM
pathy; instead his baleful in
fluence creates domestic havoc,
social, commercial and political
unrest, strife and bloodshed;
disturbs and unsettles the founda-
ton of law and order and sows
the seed of malice, deceit and
hate where peace and serenity
should abide; and because of this,
when his time of reckoning
draws nigh, friends are want
ing and the last rights are those
attending the disposal of ca
nine carcass cast away with
other refuse of the dump heap to
tester and decay.

FOG and vapor have enveloped

since this paper was impelled to
administer to the editor of the
Brindle Calf a castigation pro-
voked by his sinister and unholy
reflections upon the character of
those women who actively Ia
bored in the behalf of prohibi-
ton during the late local option
campaign in Elmore county a
castigation which was richly de-
served and meekly borne because
of general public censure of his
ribaldry and of fear that his
pelt might receive the only treat
ment to which alone he appears
to be amenable.
In still briefer time occurred
his second offense, this second
offending taking the form of vio-
lent abuse and condemnation of
Councilmen Stanfeld and Engle-
hart because their choice for a
vacancy then existing on the vii
lage board was most displeasing
| to himself and masters. Not
once did a ray of reason or cause
for this abuse appear in nearly
a column of a most perfect spec
linen of slush and fiapdoodle,
which the gasping reader glared
at in establishment. This also
admonished us that a second ap-
plication was needful and the
lash was applied, the victim of
thatrighteous whipping declaring
between gasps that he knew who
welded the knout. 1t is refresh
ing to learn he has knowledge of
any kind. 1t were we'll if he at
once directed his efforts to ac-
curing some little knowledge of
truth and honor. The transform
alton would be amazing. His
last unpleasing attitude in the
public pillory, again effected
through the columns of this pa
per, bore the signature of Mr..
Englehart, and met the instant
and unqualified approval of the
public, because the impregnable
position taken was fortified by
facts of local history and of very
recent date-so recent, indeed,
that to attempt their refutation
required an adroitness and sup
pleness of intellect discoverable
only where it exists. No at
tempt to deny has been made.
There's a reason stated above.
To salve his smarting sores,
the black magician, ever lightly
slumbering in his soul of iniquity,
awoke hideous and fearsome-
eyes of the basilisk, horns of the
Brindle Calf! From beginning
to end an editorial effort,
Matchmaking and denouncing Mr..
Englehart, the man who received
a third more votes than the
next highest successful candi-
date, consumes nearly a column
of space in solid type and furn-
ishes nowhere one single reason
for the outlawry committed. He
writes himself, too, the time
serving wretch and snob at
this eleventh hour by employing
the ancient and obsolete ruse of
the demogogue and lickspittle to
curry favor with Mr.. Stanfeld,
whom in the prior issue he had
loudly and senselessly endeavor-
ed to abuse and villify. The
purpose of this, so transparent
and insincere, is defeated by the
laundering ignorance of the pop
gun political play and peanut
reasoning" of the writer. Well
bet that James B. "jes' LATED. +"
From the depths of his soul
comes the agonizing wall for
Englehart's resignation. And
while we ought to and do appolo-
gize for ascribing to him the pos
session of a soul, We'll qualify
by giving it as our firm belief
