We publish in another column a very short but very practical sermon, .which we commend to our readers. Pass it around where it will do the most good; it has the genuine ring of orthodoxy about it. It appears that one Foraker, who was so anxious to rip the President open a few days ago, now telegraphs beseeching him -'to stop in our midst." The way of the transgressor is sometimes curious as well as hard. ? In a recent interview at Toledo the Hon. Frank Ilurd declared his intention to take an active part in the Ohio - ? campaign, anci prououuwu wv wum plank of the Cleveland platform one that every friend of revenue reform could cordially support.

She says she will not be a candidate for President in 13SS itMrs. Cleveland will accept the nomination. Under the circumstances it seems likely that Mrs. Lockwood will run again. The Iron and Steal Bulletin says the imports of iron and steal during the fiscal year ending June 30 were greater than ever before. They were ' 100,000 tons greater than in 18S5 and 1SSC combined. The Bulletin sees no indication ot a cessation 01 importation, much as it regrets the fact. What is known as the Glenn Bill, which provides for separate schools for colored children, passed the Georgia House of Representatives "Wednesday by a vote of 124 to 2. The two negative votes were those ot the colored members. The bill seems certain of ;being passed by the Senate next week. The French propose to establish a seminary for women who are willing to go out to their African colonics as missionaries. It is intimated that a professorship in the institution will be offered to a distinguished 3Tew Yorker, the author of the book just published under the title of "Romantic Love and Personal Beauty." A Sprixgfiekd (Mass.) clergyman, reading an item which stated that a couple desiring to get married called at the houses of ten ministers before they could find one to marry them, ^suggests that the daily papers should run a list of "ministers at home*' enuring the vacation season under the head, "A Guide to Wayfarers in Pursuit of Connubial bliss." The Georgetown Enquirer thinks that Jefferson Davis deserves the gratitude of the country if his letter on prohibition helped to defeat this issue in Texas. The Enquirer is right. In the political issues of the future the business of enlightened statesmanship will be to protect the inalienable rights of man against the aggressions of blind and fanatical majorities. I.\ Wyoming Territory capital pun ishment is inflicted by shooting-. Tbo execution of Fred Hopt on Thursday last was conducted by a marshal and a firing party of five men. The case is a remarkable one for the Western territorial region, where punishment is swift and not always according to the forms of law. The crime* was committed in 1880, and seven years have been spent in the law's delays. The difference between tariff re formers and internal revenue abolish' ers has been rather pointedly put as being one between those who favor a free, untaxed sideboard and those who favor a free, untaxed wardrobe. Those who oppose reduction of the tariff are for free liquor, and those who propose to continue the tax on whiskey are for giving the people free, untaxed clothing instead. That's about the size of iW It is charged by the Lonisville Courier-Journal mat me ivepuDUcans formed a desperate plan to claim the State last Monday night and count out Gen.

It occur? to us that it would have taken some fancy counting to make such a schemc successful when it is remembered that the Democrats have all of the election machinery in their own hands. Consul Desfre, at San Salvador, reports to the State Department at Washington that the manufactures of this country are being driven out of the markets there by cheap German imitations, most of which bear fraudulent American trademarks. This is especially the case in calicoes and muslins, but there are also imitations in the 1 market of the best California wines, < Milwaukee beer and Kentucky whis- ; key.

It was taken as an indication of his activity and splendid health. We have been accustomed 011 this side of the Savannah to regard Major ^ p Aw/*rtet<, OS fiTi distill Vjriil \ } Vi -iU^UOiUj guished and high-toned lawyer. A , few more such exhibitions of himself, , however, as he made in the recent trial ( of the Cnlbreath lynchers at Edgefield ; will satisfy most people that he has), been accredited with virtues that he does not possess. There is a legitimate . scope for the argument of counsel, and ' this we would under no circumstances . see narrowed, but there are limits to which even lawyers cannot go, and ( surelv that limit has been reached . when lynch law is extolled, and murderers are held up as the "purifiers of society." Major Gary's zeal got the better of his judgment. Sunday some excitement was stated to exist at "Winnsboro, thirty-five miles north of. Columbia, over the report that a vigilance committee had organized to lynch certain incendiaries when caught. There is, perhaps, no regular committee of the sort, but indignation runs very high, and if the incendiaries are caught it will be hard to save i rr.L_ OVI of.

Trouble is feared by many.?Atlanta Constitution. It is hard to see how so many mistakes could have been crammed into one paragraph. Xo vigilance committee has been organized here to lynch anybody. There has been no extraor dinary excitement here, nor has anybody feared any trouble. If incendiaries are caught here they will be lodged in jail, tried, and if convicted, punished according to law. There is no lawlessness or open defiance of law in this community, and the Constitution ought to be certain about these matters before they arc published to our detriment. Gex. Lucius Faircgild, the dispenser of palsy, has, it appears, an abnormal fondness for the American flag. Fairchild was Consul-General at Paris in 1S7S. At the close of the Paris Exposition he sent two magnificent American flags to the French Government. The Government gracefully presented one of the flags to the American Legation and the other to the Consulate. * On the Fourth of last July Major Itathbone, the new ConsulGenerai at Paris, was astonished to flnd a miserable flag hung out at the Consulate in honor of the day. On inquiry he was informed that Gonerai Fairchiid had packed up the handsome emblem received frem the French Government and brought it back to this country. Doubtless the gallant commander of the G. A. K. considers his trophy "a captured flag," for he has never sent it back to the consulate at Paris. It is just possible, of course, that Major Hathbone has been misinformed in regard to the matter, but in any case an explanation seems to be due from Gen. Fairchild.

And speaking for ourselves, we would like to know what those "best interests" are, which North Carolina wants the assistance of a "tariff plunder' to protect. Can it be that the great economic issue of the politics of the day in the old North State has dropped into a little brown jog of moonshine whiskey? "As a sensible people," we are not opposed to North Carolina having all the free whiskey that she Jwants, but we are unwilling to perpetuate a "tariff plunder" in order to hurry the coming ; of a day of jubilee to our friends. We need the inspiration of a moral , principle in the politics of our couutry.

Alsace-Lorraine. The report telegraphed over the ' ountry that Bismarck contemplates ' lie restoration of Alsace-Lorraine to Trance and the absorption of Holland >y Germany js probably the fanciful nvention of some newspaper corres)ondent. The great chancellor may vant Holland and be may take it, but .he notion that he will ever restore \lsace-Lorraine to France until forced :o do so by the grim necessities of the jour is altogether chimcrical. Even Cismarck cannot disregard the wishes )f the people over whom he presides. Originally these provinces were Gerron-r.

Germany's day of revenge was slow to some; two centuries of humiliation, however, brought Sedan and the triumph of German arms under Von Moltke. It was then that the German people demanded a restoration of the provinces which the proud French * ' "? ' - /"? * 1 monarcn nau torn irom me iaiuunaim. Bismarck took these provences in obedience to the unanimous will of his people. lie dares not restore them to France; the German people will never consent. Rather than do this they will fight to the bitter end; they will fight as they have never fought since the day of the renowned Frederick the Great. "Keep the Boys on the Farm."' "We gather from the advocates of a separate agricultural college that one of the prime objects which the promoters of this projcct have in view is to keep the farmers7 sons on the farm. It is openly charged that when given the benefits of a regular collegiate education, these young men abandon the farm and go off into other pursuits. It is not claimed that the young men are less successful in their chosen fields of action than they would have been on the farm. It is tacitly assumed, however, that it would have been much better for the country if they had stack to the pursuit of agrif>nltnr<v "TCpAn flip hnvs on the farm." This is the text of the preacners of this new gospel of industrial salvation. If they could have gotteu in their work in time they would have held down to obscurity four-fifths of all the great men whom agriculture has given to history. We take no stock in this enterprise, which is but a preparation to blindfold farmers' sons and drive them off like cattle into uncongenial pursuits. We believe in the unrestricted freedom of choice. Wc. believe the farmers' sons is entitled to every advantage of education which other men's sons are entitled to, and we shall insist upon preserving to. him the liberty of selecting his own pursuit in life. Let him even take up the profession of the law if he wishes, and if the lawyer's son so desires he may go to the farm. Thp<=r> thino-s ,ive arranged bv a wis-1 dom that is higher than man's. Gladstone and His Critics. Party spirit in England is running to unparalleled heights. Sir John Tyndall has written another scathing letter against Mr. Gladstone, and even John Bright, the life-long friend of the "grand oidman,?? openly refers, in his public addresses, to his former leader in a bitterness of speech which precludes the idea of any reconciliation hereafter. Mr. Bright, Sir John Tvndall and the Liberal-Unionists are not averse to granting to Irelaud a measure of local self-government. But they look upon Mr. Gladstone's bill as a proposition to repeal the union?as a dismemberment of the empire, and against thts result amy suum preyaiuu iu gu lu uuy length. Mr. Gladstone for nearly half a century has been the leader of English liberalism. It has been under his leadership (hat the greatest reforms of the century have been carried in the British empire, and during all of the time he has enjoyed the confidence of no abler lieutenant than John ungnt. lie has had all along, too, the confidence and support of the learned professor, who now comes out from the laboratory, where by patient thought he overthrew Bastion's thery of spontaneous generation, to denounce the leader of English liberalism as "a hoary rhetorician who sets at defiance the plainest dictates of political morality.", Mr. Gladstone's Irish bill has created antagonisms in every work of life. It has made breaches that time will not lieal. A Few Facts. The State of South Carolina makes appropriations out of its treasury for the support of the South Carolina College at Columbia, for the Citadel Academy at Charleston, lud for Claflin University at Orangeburg; and it supports by public taxa:ion all of the free public common chools in its territory, a large proportion of all the public funds collected ire for educational [purposes. It ,vould seem that the people are doing ibout as well as could reesonably be ;xpected in this line. Thei'e -are those, however, who ,hink that a separate and independent igricultural college should be estab-. ished and supported at the public ixpense. They are very patriotic and rery liberal with other people's money. In their advocacy of this scheme hey have never taken the trouble to joint out that their pet institution, if I t be worthy of the name of a college, vill be compelled to teach the same tranches of learning that are now aught at the South Carolina College. ?liey have rather assumed the contrary -that their institution would find its L-imio frmrsfi of study in the one sub set of agriculture. If this were true he institution would not be worth laying for, and it is equally without alue to us since we already have an ustitution supported at the public cxiensc, in which all the branches of ;arniDg are taught, ever, including griculture. If attention enough is ot given at the College to this branch ; the remedy is hardly to be found in another college, in which the subject of agriculture shall furnish but one branch or school. the constitutional centennial. To the Editor of ths Winnifboro JYtun: The centennial anniversary of the nfrimnlnfltiAn Af fVin ( o->_ i.1 LkllKX pi UiliUigUOiVli \JJL l/liu J stitution of the United States is just now attracting much attention throughout the country. The arrangements for its proper observance are being completed, and the Centennial CcnTiAncrnt in r*ovf/>ct JL1I13CXV/1~L uwuivi; "O a.** ^/vfcAvvw ing tbe necessary details to secure a large attendance from all parts of the country, and to set forth the great importance and significance of the event. The .recent jubilee of Queen Victoria's reign ana this great celebration of the American people are occurring so close together as to naturally invite comment and comparison. The spontaneous manifestations of the snhfocts of an honored and enlisrhtened sovereign of Great Britiau, although making a shout of joy around the earth, are after all only the personal congratulations extended by the millions, on the the fiftieth anniversary of her corouation, to a reigning Queen whose character has been pre-eminently pu 104a.id spotless, and whose reign has been wise, just and progressive. No great principle of government; however, was held forth as matter for public approbation. The personal nature; of that iubilee was marked and inevitable. It concentrated around one individual, however exalted and upright. But not so with the American jubilee which will call our people together in Philadelphia within a few weeks- in orderito celebrate and applaud, not the character of an individual, but the foundation stone of a great nation and the principles contained in-the charter upon which its existence-is based. England's greatest living statesman has declared that the Federal Constitution is "the most wonderful work ever struck off at a viven time bv the brain and purpose of a man,"and this opinion of Mr. Gladstone ough to remind;us that the successful formation of the Constitution of the United States was the momentous event in the history of the Amevicrn people, and marked an epoch in the history of the world. It becomes us, then, 1.0 recall the circuinstaLC355 under which this great instrument of organic law was framed "and promulgated, and to strengthen and quicken our sense of the obligations imposed by its adoption and contintfiuice as the supreme law of the land. Let us appreciate, in a reverent and grateful spirit, the character of the proposed celebratien, and bring to it thai hearty support worthy of the occasion and the event. In order that your readers may be informed as to the proposed celebration, I append herewith an outline of the principal ceremonies in preparation for the Constitutional- Centennial to be held at Philadelphia on the loth, lGth and 17th of September, l?sv. 1. The loth of September is assigned for a processional Industrial Display, the object of which will be to illustrate, in contrast, the customs, characteristics, commerce, arts, implements of industry, means of industry, means of transportation, etc., of 1787 with those of 18S7, to show the changes and- progress made in the first century of our constitutional existence. This display, moving in procession, mounted upon cars prepared for the purpose, and accompanied by various civic organizations, promises to be a feature of brilliant and historic interest In the evening of that day the Governor of Pennsylvania will hold a publ.2 reception in honor of the Governors of the States and Territories who are present at the celebration. 2. The 19th of September is designated for the Military Parade and Review, in which the militia regiments and companies of the several States and Territories, accompanied fcy their respective Governors and staffs, and detachments from the army and navy of the United States detailed for the occasion, will be expected to participate. Not less than twelve or fifteen thousand troops will be in the parade, and Pennsylvania alone will furnish seven thousand soldiers in honor of the occasion. In the evening of the comn rlnv will nnnnr armblie receDtion. in honor of the President o? the United States, with the Governors, representatives of foreign governments, military, etc. 3. The 17th of September will be devoted to the special services of commemoration, as the Centennial Day proper, and the exercises will take place in Independence Square, at which the President of the United States will preside. The oration will be delivered by Mr. Justice Miller,, of the Supreme Court. In addition there will be a poem in honor of the event celebrated, together with national hymns, vocal and instrumental music, etc. Various other entertainments will be offered by citizens during the progress 01 ine ceieorauoa, ami n, is hoped that the occasion wilJ give brilliant testimony to the unshaken-attachment of all classes of our people to the great charter of American liberty, to which is due in so large a measure the unparalleled developmet and extraordinary progress of the States, once so feeble* and insignificant, now grown so powerful as to excite the admiration and attract the populations of the civililized world.

It is useless for the Star, or any other paper to deny that Mr. Withers is sustained by facts. The case at Laurens is not "singular. We would be the last to do what we think would degrade our State, and we do not see the wrong in commenting upon and condemning what cannot be justified. It only makes us ridiculous when vre imitate the ostrich. The following, written by one of our best eitizens after reading the clipping in our paper from the Star with the intention of sending it to that paper, but which ne nas since nanuea to us, will illustrate to the Star the views of a fraction of the "sood sense of the State:" Waltcrboro Star: Your editorial condemnatory of I.

Repentance on this point must be of \ that Godly sort that needeth not to be repented of Reader, were you sorry that you had not- paid your debts when yon made a profession of religion? If vou were not, that is just why you have not got a debt-paying religion. < True repeneutance has a retractive as < well as prospective effect on the life of < the believer. He will, as far as possi- ; ble, make good his past wrongs. Many < new converts sing, "Jesus paid it ail, j all to Him I owe." No such thing! Jesus did not pay it all?neither do ( you owe it all to lliin. If the week before vou were converted you owed j ten dollars ami you were able to pay it, and you owe that neighbor ten i dollars yet, Jesus did not pay that for ( you. If you don't pay that debt, it i will meet you at your judgment just j as sure as you are a sinner. It is mean , in you to expect Jesus to pay debts for you that you can pay yourself. If you ; have a Christian haart in you, think , how much Jesus paid for you that you never could have met at God's bar of inflexible jhstice. Some people think that the cleansing stream of Jesus's blood'washed Sinai away aud deluged i the law?no such thing! Jesus came not to destroy, but to fulfill, and gave grace that we through Ilim might"fulfill. Jesus everywhere enforces the Commandments as the rule of lite. At the close of our great revival.al Fifth Street Church, two yei.rs a^o, a number of young men came to me to know if they ought to go and pay bills that they had made at bar-rooms for whiskey, etc. I told them to "owe , them nothing1," "let not your good be , evil spoken of"?give the devil his dues. All of those young men, save I one or two, went and paidjup those bad debts, and have no more. Those who could not see that it was their duty to pay these debts, have returned 1 to their old paths, ana tneir scconas state is worse than the first. Then let the whole Church pray for a revival of the debt-paying religion. In every revival let prayers be made that the new converts may have grace to pay up old debts, and not contract new ones without good probability of paying them. Let the ministry enforce this duty publicly and privately (with discretion), and* great good can be accomplished. If the preachers would look after this matter of debtmvimr anions their congregations, ? Cf ? ? _ their owu debts might be more promptly paid?chickens come home to roost. Both preacher and people need to be more cautions, prayerful and payful about this line. The great necessity of the present time is confidence among the people. Let tee Church demand and command .her membership to live np to their promises and contracts, and soon present financial darkness will give way to a brighter morn of prosperity to all business circles. Keep a inpn corners and front seats clear of members who can wun't pay their debts (the pulpit too), and the Word preached will reach sinners. May God give increase to these words which are written for the promotion of His kingdom in- the practicai dealings with men. OUR EXCHANGES. (Netcberry Herald and News.)

A South Carolina jury, recognizing that popular sentiment demanded punishment for crime, has at last convicted of murder in the first degree?a svhite man? Xo!?a negro female ihild eleven years old. What a mockery! Let Justice hide her face and sveep for very shame! Uphold crime? 0, no! But what a subject upon rehich to inflict capital punishment! IT t he orirl is old enousrh to know what she has done, send her. to State prison for life. But what a traversity of justice it would be to hang a child Df eleven years, and allow lo go unpunished such crimes as the Abbeville murder, the Edgefield triple butchery, and others equally atrocious. Will Ssath Carolina permit it? For her own honor, we hope nut. Every true citzeu desires that the law be respected, and that crime be made adious; but such a judicial murder] would be a blot on South. Carolina's fair escutcheon that time could not erase. There lias been a morbid desire prevailing in South Carolina for some years past for the introduction of some new project. The people imagine that they smell something rich floating about in the air that they have never been able to get hold of. They don't know just what it is, but they think it would be worth millions to fhr>ni if fhfiv could once ^et ud with it. In pursuit of this imaginary fortune, the old customs and institutions are wiped out and new ones substituted. The desire is to abolish the old rugged cart-roads and by-paths of our granddaddies, and open up broad rosy avenues, leading to some undiscovered paradise of wealth and case.

An Old Sol?Ii?r Talk* of Ilia Campaign in VliflniH-Tln' K.ifiny in .Itubuilt? Tw?*niy Yc-.r-i After. I Selma, N. C, Feb. n, 1SS7. 1 Gentlemen:?Yours inquiring wheth- , er or not I had been benefited by Kas- ; kine, and if so to what extent, &c., to * hand. In reply will say that my health < has not been as good in twenty years ^ as now. I suffered with chills from ' f malarial poison contracted while serving in the Confederate army on the Peninsular Campaigns in Virginia. Did not miss having a chill at least once in twenty-one days, and more frequently once in seven days, for more than fif teen years. In this condition I visited New York ,, in November, 1SS5, on business. While there I stopped with Mr. E. D. > Barker, of the University Publishing ; Company. I told Mr. Barker of my ; condition. He called my attention to your Kaskme and procured lor me a bottle. After my return home I took . the pellets as directed and found much relief afforded thereby. Of this change I wrote Mr. Barker, who sent two or 1 three bottles during the past year. My < health greatly improved. I increased in weight from 165 pounds to 200 I pounds, my present weight. I believe the Kaskine did it. Quinine had fail- 1 ed, as had other remedies usually administered in such cases. Now, unless in case of exposure to extra bad weather, I do not have chills, and my general health is quite good. : I turned over half a bottle to a young lady friend a few weeks since. I learn from her mother that she was much benefited by it while it lasted. I trust you may be able to introduce Kaskine generally in this country, in which many suffer from diseases consequent upon malarial poison in the system. From my own experience I can emphasize its excellence for such diseases. If I can serve you call on me. I am very truly yours, >' John* C. Scarborough. Seven years ago I had an attack of bilious remittent fever, winch ran into intermittent malarial. I tried all the known remedies, such as arsenic, mer- < cury and quinine. The latter wa^ administered to me in heavy and continued doses. Malaria brought on nervous prostration and dyspepsia, from , i which I suffered every thing. Last win ter I heard ot Kaskine and began using it. A few bottles of the wonderful drug cured me. Malaria and dyspepsia disappeared, and as you have seen a June day brighter for the summer storm that had passed across the sky, so the cloud left my life and my health i became steady and strong. Mrs. J. Lawson, 141 Bergen St., Brooklyn, X. Y. Mr. Gideon Thompson, the oldest and one of the most respected citizens of Bridgeport, Conn., says: "lam ninety years of age, mini Cor the last three years have suffered from malaria and the effects of quinine poisoning. I recently began with Kaskine which broke up the malaria and increased my weight 22 pounds." Other letters of a similar character from prominent individuals, which stamp Kaskine as a remedy of undoubt ea merit, win De sent on application. Price $1.00. or six bottles, $5.00.
