Every man is limited by those about
him. You are free to be a good
citizen. You are not free to muir
der, to steal, or to defraud. If you
do these things you will be put in
confinement You are free to be o
kindly, courteous and cultivated
member Of society. You are not
free to be morose. and indecent and
low-bred. If you are of this latter
sort people avoid you. You are
tree to speak wise and pure
thoughts. You are not free to ad-
vocate folly and wickeness. Good
people will utter their protest
against you. You are free to be a
law-abiding and peaceful member
of the community; yoH are not free
to be Mormon or q cannibal. You
are free to utter those ideas which
help men you are not free to utter
those ideas which destroy morality
and corrupt the character of people.
You are, in short free to do right
but to do no wrong; free to speak
the truth, but not to lie.

Over IN South Carolina they held
a fair at AbbevIlle, the other day,
and Wade Hampton made speech
in which he recommended to the
State a development OF her resour-
ces as the only means to assure
prosperity and happiness. He, in
other words advised the people to
pay less attention to politics and
more to the work of their farms.
He told them if they would take care
of the land the State would take
care of Its rights and that the
true doctrine of State rights con-
sisted in independent citizens all
living in political equality. He
told them farther, that they ought
to respect the rights of the negroes,
pay them good wages, make them
feed Independent, let them vote as
they please, and try to add to their
happiness in every possible way, so
as TO endear them to the State.

A Washington correspondent, in
speculation upon the present ses-
sion of Congress, says. The dis
position of Southern Democrats is
not to again invite conflict with
the President by renewing the tao
tics of the last session. They as
sumo that the North is not in favor
of maintaining the Federal election
laws; that the laws are almost mop
erative at the South, and therefore
the members from that section
have no interest in their repeal.
1t may turn out that few StalwarI
Democrats of the "never surren
der" sort will have influence enough
to lead their party INTO refusing the
appropriations because 1t would look
like q back down, but it is evident
that the prevailing sentiment is in
favor OF backing down rather than
engage in another bitter partisan
discussion and the passage of bills
that would probably be vetoed.
There are Southern Democrats who
affirm most positively that they will
not again be dragged or driven into
such a position. The army appro-
priation bill will no doubt contain
the same provisions in regard to
troops at the polls that was finally
approved by the President at the
extra session. There are Demo
Gratis who will advise that separate
bills for the repeal of the election
laws. and prohibiting any appear
ance OF the military near the polls,
be passed and sent to the Presi
dent, and this may BE- agreed to by
the party; but it Is doubtful if even
this much can be done in the way
OF reviving the fight of the extra
session, 50 strong is the determins
tion OF some Democrats to avoid
anything of the kind.

RELATIVE POSITIONS OF CLUBS CoNTEsTiSo

ASSOCIATIONS


The playing OF the past week for the League
championship has placed the Providence Club in an
enviable position. They are now exactly three won
games ahead of the Dostons. the club occupying Sec

charged against them than the Bostons. The fact
obtains however. that either OF them may bear off
the palm of victory should they. and only they. win
the whole ten games which they both must play to
fill their respective schedules The situation OF the
Chicagos and also of the Bufalos, however, is not
so favorable; yet. having SO many more unplayed

of them to prove successful by winning al! yet

There is a strong protest offered, In
different ways and from various Sources
against our long established practice of
making poor floors, with the design OF
keeping them covered with carpets
stretched and fitted to every part and
carefully tackled down. Carpets in daily
use can not be kept clean except by very
frequent shaking and beating, and they
do much toward corrupting the air BY
retaining impure gases, hiding the nm
est, most penetrating dust IN their
meshes and underneath them, and by
giving off particles OF fine wool into the
atmosphere, with other dust, as they
are swept or walked upon. There is q
demand for better floors, not necessarl'

seem a relief to the housekeeper, when
once the carpets are procured and 1tted
to the rooms and tackled down, because
they do not show the dirt as the bare
floors do. But oh! when they do get
full of dust! And when hoUse-cleanlng

deserve! With warmlyImade floors anu

Saws Prof. Swing in a recent sermon,
This fact stares US in thetace all through
history. that the most conscientious
men, the most fully bent on not doing
wrong and upon doing right, have been
narrow in their views, selfish and cruel.
utterly free from any connection Of the
highest good of the most. Conscience
cast no light upon duty when for hun
dreds OF years the HindOo mothers cast
into the rivers children which they
should have tenderlY reared and loved.
it cast no light upon the duty of Saul
when he was consenting to the death by
a mob of such saint as Stephen; it
cast no light upon Jephthah when, for.
an oath's sake, he was, amid awful sor-.
row, putting to death mis- beloved daugh.-
ter. According to the story, that He
brew Judge or King had, on the eve of
battle, made a VOW that should God
grant him victory he would sacrifice on
the altar the first living thing which
should come out to meet him on
his triumphant return nome,
And behold, his beloved daughter.

guard, and servant, and slave. The
face of the victorious King turned pale.
He tore to shreds his royal vesture and
cried out, "Alas! my daughter! thou
has brought me very low, for I have
made a VOW to the Lord, and I can not
90 back" It would appear that, if
conscience was designed ever to convey
anv information as to the moral quality
of actions, it would have let some light
fall upon this unhappy father and
daughter; but, instead OF difusing any
knowledge of right or wrong, it simply
impelled Jephthah onward toward the,
keeping of the savage vow. This story,
from Jewish history, only illustrates
what has taken place in all the long his.
tory of man, namely, that this power,
called conscience, has never informed
any man or age as to what is right and.
what wrong, either in a general or a
particular manner. 1t has never been
q light bringing star.


Having learned what this faculty does
not do. it becomes US to seek out its true
office. Conscience is a feeling. It's an
appetite that loves the moral right, but
the intellect must find out what the right
is. The intellect must come with its
observation, and comparison, and expe-.
rience, and discover what general laws
of right-doing there are, and what par
ticular actions are noble, and then con-
science will come and render him happy
who does the noble things, and render
him miserable who does the dis
graceful things. If the logical
faculty makes any blunder in its
argument, and concludes that witches
exist and should be hanged, or that
hereto should be quartered, or that
Jephthah's God desired that a VOW
should be made or kept that would doom
to death a daughter as compensation for
a victory, conscience will not hesitate
for moment, but on it will come, a.
vast, powerful sentiment, and will hang
the witch, or quarter the hereto, or slay
the idolized daughter. 1t knows moth
ing and teaches not ing, it only impels.
1t drives a train along track, but the
reasoning powers of man first builds the
track, and according to the work done
