Government cf 2?en.
V. Roman Empire; or, Kingdom or
Caesar.
"We have thus far traced the kingdoms
of Egypt and Assyria, and
then the three of the universal kingdoms
shown to Nebuchadnezzer in
his dream in the prophecy of Daniel.
We now come to the fourth
great government as explained by
the Prophet.
This Roman government was first
seen in this vision of the king of
Babylon in the second chapter of the
prophecy of Daniel, verses 33, 34
and 35, as follows:
Kis legs of iron, bis feet part of
iron and part of clay.
Thou sawest till that a stone was j
! cut out without hands, which smote
the image upon his feet that were of
iron and clay, and brake them to
pieces.
Then was the iron, the clay, the
brass, the silver, and the gold broken
to pieces together, and became like
the chaff of the summer threshingfloors;
and the wind carried them
away, that no place was found for
them: and the stone that smote
became a great mountain, and tilled
the whole earth.
Then the explanation of it is by
Daniel the servant of God is from
verse 41 to 4G, viz.:
And whereas thou sawest the feet
and toes, part of potters' clay, and
part of iron, the kingdom shall be
divided; but there shall be in it the
strength of the iron, forasmuch as
thou sawest the iron mixed with miry
ckyAnd
as the toes of the feet were
part of iron, and part of clay, so the
kingdom shall be partly strong, and
partly broken.
And whereas thou sawest iron
mixed with miry clay, they shall
mingle themselves with the seed of
but they shall not cleave one to another,
even as iron is not mixed with
clay.
And in the days of these kings
shall the God of heaven set up a
kingdom, which shall never be destroyed:
and the kingdom shall not
be left to other people, but it shall
but it shall break in pieces and consume
all these kingdoms, and it shall ;
stand for ever.
Forasmuch as thou sawest that
the stone was cut out of the mountain
without hands, and that it brake
in pieces the iron, the brass, the
clay, the silver, ana uie goia; me \
great God hath made known to the
king what shall come to pass hereafter:
and the dream is certain, and
the interpretation thereof sure.
To properly understand this entire
Book of Daniel, and especially the
dream of the king, it should be remembered
that the poor, simple
minded king was striving to erect a
government which should never end
and he was tryiDg to effect this by .
preparing a god of gold, and a religious
and a military and a civil
union to effect this end, and God, in
this dream and the interpretation of
it by Daniel, shows him that his kingdom
and three others in turn would |
be overthrown. That the God of
heaven, and not the gods that he
know, would set up a kingdom, in
the lime of the fourth kingdom,
which we will now see was the Roman
Empire, would break all others j
in pieces and would have an everlasting
existence.
It was to be the only everlasting
kingdom. See verse 33, wherein the
legs and feet of the image were part
of iron, and part of clay, and in verse
31 the stone to be cut out of the
mountain was to brake the feet of
the image. This stone, of course,
was the kingdom which Christ did
set up in the days of the Kings of
Rome.
Verse 44 should be read is a fuller
and better explanation of verse 34,
and contains a summary of the entire
Book of Daniel, and in it the
object and aim of the whole Old
Testament have been very tersely
expressed. "What a remarkable warning
in that 44ih verse, viz ? "And
the kingdom shall not be left to other
people, but it shall break in pieces
1 ?11 1 u ? l.ln/?/lArv\0 OT1/1
ana consume an mesu lim-uuuio ,
it shall staud forever." No possible j
explanation can be given to this verse 1
than on the ground that this is none 1
other that the kingdom of God established
by Christ '*in the days of
these kings" of the Roman government.
Of course the Christians as such,
did not break all these great kingdoms
down to the Roman and then
the Roman in turn, but they all
have come and have acted their part
in preparing the world for this kingdom
and for the birth of Prince
! Emanuel in the fullness of time.*'
| The second chapter of Luke states
that while Cy renins was governor of j
Syria, there came out a decree from i
Cmsar Augustus that all the world I
should be enrolled, aud that "the i
i
days were accomplished that she j
should be delivered,'1 and thus it j
was that this Prince of the first and ;
only everlasting kingdom was born I
io Bethlehem "in the days of these
kings."
i
When this explanaton was given to
the king by Daniel the city of Home
had no existence. The very site of
this proud mistress of the world was
in fields or woods and forests, but
how perfectly in this and other chapters
Daniel tells of this future power
on earth. It was at first only the
little province of Latium, but greater
and greater became its power and influence
till it exceeded all kingdoms
| before it in power and n agn'fijonce.
In the Greek it was literature, art
and beauty; with the Roman, it was
law and order. This power is said
in this chapter to be "strong as iron
forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces
and subdureth all thiDgs." This
was a fine description of the Roman
government. The government was
always noted for divisions and disunion.
"What had ruined other gov- !
ernments only seemed to make Rome
flourish. The history of the republic
is full of the recuds of marriages
in different ruling families to prevent
further discord and danger to
the safty of the republic but to no
effect.- All were fruitless to accomplish
their end and no government,
except Rome, ever survived the
slaughter and suicidal contests in
her history of various times. While
Rome was called a kingdom, it was
in reality a republic and "the KiDg
of the Jews" set up this greatest republic
the world ever saw in what
was, up to that time, the greatest republic
the woild had seen. The
whole context shows a wonderfully
true description of Rome in a short
way, and a careful, consideratlve
reader is overwhelmed with the im- i
mensity and plenitude of the knowledge
and power of God.
Christ in Mark i, 15, said, "The
time is fuililled and the kingdom of
heaven is at hand," and said on va- :
rious occasions that he was the promised
king and his kingdom was the '
one promised; for claiming to be that
h9 was tried by the officers of this
satneRoman government and executed
by the decree of t< co r ?, and in the
way and manner of its laws. Today 1
the condition of the Christian Church
is an everlasting monument to the
inspiration of the Book of Daniel.
The Empire of King Cmsarisathing
of the past; the Kingdom of Christ
a glorious reality of the present and
a more glorious anticipation of the
future.
Rome filled its destiny and was
divided into ten kingdoms as predicted
in Daniel vii. But Rome has
left monuments of its greatness in
many ways, but principally in the
laws and constitutions of later governments.
She has left the features
of her supremacy in the customs,
habits, &c., in all of the people of the
advanced governments cf the world.
Those who have not received directly
have indirectly caught the energy
and vim of the kingdom of Caesar.
The conquest of Caesar on the Island
of Britain carried the peculiarities,
laws and habits of the Romans
and they are so deeply rooted into
Anglo Saxon of the succession that
no revolution could eradicate them,
and to some of which the AngloSaxon's
progress and advancement
are very largely due.
The doctrine of local self government
is a divine inheritance from
the Roman ancestry. The Norm an, j
the Dane and the Saxon Lave subju- j
cated our mother Island; they changed j
its law?, Lave changed its people, have |
burned of its cities, but have never i
effaced the likeness nor removed the
image of Julius Ciesar. God's purpose
is clearly seen in the history
of Rome. In its early years the
other nations sunounding so warred j
against the future mistress of thi
world as to develope her energies.
Particularly is this true of the Punic
wars, and most especally so of the
Punic war in which was engaged !
o o
against Rome that masterly soldier
and statesman, Hannibal. For six- j
!
teen long years he marched over the
, little republic, burning her cities, be- !
i 1 JI Onnwolo ntiil elarinrr lior I
11CJL V4Ciiuiiuo uuv? ojujiuq |
I armies. He could not conquer, but !
I could and did assist iu developing
tbat wonderful people to prepare
them for the likeness which Darnel !
describes as the beast so awful and j
terrible , that should stamp the resi- J
due with his feet. Hannibal's rnili- i
| tary career was checked and the
: Roman enemy vanquished when he
! met Scipio at the battle of Zama.
| This same terrible Hannibal tried
j and did interest and arouse other
I kingdoms of the remnants of Alex
adder's shattered empire, to oppose
this growing government but to no
avail- The little republic had a destiny
and a mission, and no earthly
power could avert it.
Early in their history the Roman
fought for his supremacy and much
was achieved by bis doctrine of coIonia
and municipium. In that way
he studded the Roman provinces by
free towns and colonies as so many
garrisons for Roman supremacy. In
a colony he simply transplanted genuine
Roman citizens in congurous
communities, but by municipium he
simply engrafted this freedom in
alien communities for the same ends.
From this municipium we have our
"municipal' regulations and their
various forms of local self government.
lu all his successful career
the Anglo-Saxon has defended and
lived and prospered in no small degree
by his adherence to this "old
municipium" of the Caesar fame. It
has become a kind of heirloom in our
family and as such should be so
prized and defended. It claims an

uucetiry ui uvex uvu iuuuouuu jcaiu
and while dining the dark ages it
suffered much at various times, as
the sunlight of freedom shines
brighter this tendency of our race
grows stronger and stronger.
God who knows man and his nature
best in his long preparation of
the Roman republic for the end that i
Daniel saw and so clearly sets forth i
in this wonderful, but short Book, i
gave to the Senate of Rome such
men as did make these changes on
all of the old governments that the
world had ever known, and the long
and wise course ol the Roman law- 1
givers so rivited it into the very ex- <
istence of the republic that it will '
ever be impossible to obliterate it. *
This taken away, the public spirit ^
and enterprise of any community, ^
State or nation departs, and it will 1
be well that this generaticu and peo- j <
pie do well to ponder and weigh the 1
consequences before too many innovations
be made to be again reinstaled
by the public spirit cf our
progressive day. I think those public
men who favored such radical inroads
on these historic grounds but
little understand the spirit cf our
people or the cause cf our political
revolution.
Christianity, or the government to
be set up in the days of these kings, i
is an aggressive government or it
could not break all others in pieces. 1
No religious sentiment will be long 1
aggressive in a dead, lifeless civil '
government, and hence it is a necessity
to join life, tone and force to
the Christian aggression that a lifeless
civil community should be over
turned and une of zeal and energy
be brought forth. <
I do not want to be understood as 1
advocating a union of Church and
State, for that is as far from the Bi- j
ble standard as the east is from the i
west. But the history of the past ]
and the rcvalatiocs from the Bible '
go to show that the Bible ideal gov- ;
ernment is one with such life, form <
and complexion as to give the great- ]
est advantage for the moral and
spiritual sentiment to control the ,
destiny of that people. ]
A government might give ample ^
protection to our lives and property '
and insure to us civil liberty, as
that term is usually understood, and
not be a model government. It
could do that and be lifeless and non 1
progressive. A government might
encourage vice and immorality and 1
yet give by its laws ample protection ,
to life and property. But these must
be added a condition of government !
suitable and encouraging to a vital
spiritality.
Daniel saw that stone cut out of
the mountain continue to break and
destroy all the governments and as j
it should never end and will continue |
to break and destroy all environments
to its jurisdiction. iiie condition
of a people and the manner of their
control have so much to do with their
moral condition and advancement
that there is a necessity in some
hand or power for an ability to
arrest that condition for the public
good.
The whole Book of Daniel shows
revolutions, either military or civil, i
is for man's elevation and advancement,
not simply temporally, but
both temporally and morally and when
only one can be achieved, the moral j
is ^referred. Take it and profane |
history together and other portions j
of the Old Testament to illustrate
and confirm and inert, lifeless gov- j
ern meLts have not met with the divine
favor; and take it and the entire
Bible aside from profane history and |
the belief that all the governments'
of ancient history were overthrown !
by the money kings of those days is !
a damnable heresy and give a ilat :
contradiction to a large portion of !
inspiration, and indeed profane history
fully fails to substantiate any
such truth: for in inaDy cases the j
struggling governments were appar- ;
ently saved by the liberality and |
sacrifices of rich men united with 1
heroic endurance of their soldiers. J
The revolutions which today shake j
the world can be traced to these !
same causes cither directly or indi-!
rectly, and is the same continued ,
struggle for spiritual law in the in- ;
tellectual world: it is a fight for j
spiritual liberation and mental su j
premacy: it is a conflict for iospira- |
tion over human reason and philoso- j
phy. Revolutions never go back- j
ward and how can they with this j
power behind "the throne/'
No reflecting mind who believes iD I
revelation can but be ovei joyed at 1
the reflection that notwithstanding ,
the folly and contentious and selfish
natures of men there is an overruling
Providence whose handwriting is
clearly seen in the governments of
men.
The upheaval in South Carolina is
a result of the people against the t
negative policy of the Democratic '
party; it is a rebellion against the j
lethargy and non aggressive spirit of j
cur political system. Whatever we j
may conjecture or whatever reason j
we may give to this departure this I j
believe is the keynote to the situa- ;
tion. The political anxiety and un- ;
rest of today is a significant feature '
and if I at all understand or know j
anything of the philosophy of this
agitation and unrest, many who claim
to be leaders of the people now have j
most fatally interpreted the hand
writing on the wall.
Nor is there any reason to believe j
that the free coinage of silver or any ;
^ther medium of value can supply j
the damand for an investigation into '
the cause of our depression and the j
failure of all ordinary means to reach j
:he seat of our trouble. It is use

of the Last Bond Deal.
Washington, Jan. 0.?The debate
on the Elkins resolution in the Senate
last Friday, when the administra
lion was accused by several Senators
of having entered into an agreement
with a syndicate to float the expected
issue of bonds, is the subject of a letter
written by President Cleveland
to Senator Caffery of Louisiana.
The knowledge that such a letter had
been addressed to Mr. Caffery was
obtained tonight and the letter is
made public by the latter. It is in
the handwriting of the President and
covers six pages of closely written
note paper. It is in full as follows:
Executive MansioD, Washington,
Jan. 5, 189G.
My Dear Senator: I have read
today in the Congressional Record
the debate in the Senate on Friday
concerning the financial situation and
bond issues.
I am amazed at the intolerance
that leads even excited partisanship
to adopt as a basis of attack the "unfounded
accusations and assertions
of a malicious and sensational newspaper.
No banker or financier or any
other human being has been invited
to visit Washington for the purpose
of arranging in any way or manner
for the disposition of bonds to meet
the present or future needs of the
gold reserve.
No arrangement of any kind has
been made for the disposition of such
bonds to any syndicate, or through
the agency of any syndicate.
No assurances of such a disposal
of bonds has been direct'y or indirectly
given to any person. In point |
of fact, a decided leaning towards a |
popular loan and advertising forbids i ]
has been plainly exhibit'd on the i
administration at all times when the ,
subject was under discussion.
Those charged with maintaining
our gold reserve, so far as legislation ,
renders it possible, have anxiously ,
conferred with each other and, as
occasion permitted, with those having
knowledge of financial affairs ]
anl present monetary conditions, a3
to the best and most favorable means
of selling bonds for gold. <
The unusual importance of a sue- ]
cessful result if the attempt is again ]
made ought to be apparent to every (
American citizen who bestows upon j
the subject a moment's patriotic |
thought. j
The Secretary of the Treasury \
from the first moment that the neces- ]
sity of another sale of bonds seemed .
to be approaching desired to offer ]
them, if issued to the people by pub- i
lie advertisement if they could thus i
be successfully disposed of. After ,
full consideration he came to the
conclusion, to which I fully agree, j
that the amount of gold in the re
serve being now *20,000,000 more J j
than it was in February last, when a
sale of bonds was made to a syndi- (
cate, and other conditions differing
from those then existing, justifies us
in offering the bonds now about to
be issued for sale by popular subscription.
This is the entire matter: and all j
these particulars could have been
easily obtained by any member of
the Senate by simple inquiry.
If Mr. Morgan or anyone else rea- j
soning from his own standpoint j
brought himself to the belief that j
the government would at length be J
constrained to again sell bonds to a j
cvn/Hpofp T sunnnse hp would have !
a perfect light, if he chose, io take
such steps as seemed to him prudent
to put himself in condition to negoti- j
ate.
I expect an issue of bonds will be
advertised for sale tomorrow, and j
that bids will bo invited, not only i
for those now allowed by law, but J
for such other and different bonds as I
Congress may authorize during the j
pendency of the advertisement.
Not having an opportunity to confer
with you in person since the j
present session of Congress began, !
ana noucmg your purucijjuuuii iu i
the debate of last Friday, I Lave
thought it not amiss to put you in
possession of the facts and informa- i
*
tion herein contained. Yours very !
truly, Grover Cleveland.

of tables in the large Board of Trade
Hall, and were inspected by a large
numbers of business men, farmers
and citizens generally.

Seventeen (17) States w;.ro well |
represented, and there is 110 doubt |
bit whit th) corn contest was a
grand success from every point of
view.
The many inspectors expressed surprise
and gratification at the unusually
high average quality of the exhibits,
and when it is considered that
the exhibits comprised a dozen ears
each from a single acre, and not the
be,-1 that could be gathered from a
whole farm or out of the whole
county, the excellence of Southern
corn is all the more noteworthy.
All we can say is hurrah for the
prosperous farmers and prize winners
of this State.
If we could trace dyspepsia to its
source, it would lead back to our
kitchens. In fact, the secret of good
health is good cocking. If well
cooked, foods are partially digested;
if poorly cooked, they are less digestible
than in their raw state. If you
are a victim of faulty cooking; that
is, if you suffer from dyspepsia, the
rational cure must be looked for in
on artificially digested food, and a
food which will at the same time aid
the digestion of other foods. Such a
pre^ aration virtually rests the tired
digestive organs, thereby restoring
them to their natural strength.
The Digestive Cordial, as prepared
by the Shakers of Mount Lebanon,
is just such a preparation, and a single
10 cent bottle will convince you
of its value. If your druggist doesn't
keep it. he will be glad to get it
through his wholesale house.

Since the people know I keep St.
Joseph's Quick Relief they have taken
it all out but one bottle, and that one
I cannot sell until I get in some
more, for I cannot be without it myself.
It is beyond doubt the best

OBITUAEY.
John Maxwell, late of Leesville,
died Sunday morning, January 5,
180G. Mr. Maxwell came to Leesville
from Newark, N. J, about three
year ago to recuperate his health. Last
fall he opened a store and was doing
a successful business. "When his
health began to fail him, he sent for
his brother to come to his assistance.
He at one came and remained to the
last. Iiis disease was consumption.
Mr. Maxwell was a man of no ordinary
ability. A strict disciplitarian
to the church, a Presbyterian by
faith. There being no church of his
faith here, he at once identified him
self with all the churches here being
a leader in the choir, the Sunday
school and a faithful worker for the
church. Well informed in scripture
it was one of the pleasures of
his life to give information to the inquire
r. Coming here an entire straDger
he at once made maDy friends aDd
the longer he staid the more his
friends became attached to him. His
fuueral was held in the Lutheran
church, Rev. James Kinard officiating
assisted by the Rev. Edwards.
His remains was -laid away in the
Lutheran cemetery in the presence of
a large congregation of newly made
friends. A Friend.

Will Pass ths Senate.
Some of the Republican silver Senators
held a conference after the adjournment
of the Senate Friday to *i
canvass the chances of passing the
silver substitute for the House bond
bill through the Senate. They went
over the list very carefully, comparing
notes on Senators considered
doubtful and reached the conclusion
that the substitute would win
by a majority of about three votes.
They also considered the alternative
of postponing action until after the
new Senators from Utah shall arrive,
but concluded that in view of the
facts developed at the meeting the
