At ttic eek in which for three days a) capital was a pageant and xfand review and bannered proand national anthems could do, g^-tcd peace, it uiay not be inapt to ! ., ato^ the time when tho 1'rinco of ace aud the heir of universal doinini shall take possession of this nation, d "thy land shall be married." In discussing the final destiny of this tion it makes all the difference in the >rld whether we are on the way to a .ncral or a wedding. The Bible loaves o doubt on this subject. In pulpits 1 on platforms aud in places of pubncourse, 1 hoar so many of tho ed drums of evil prophecy sound s though we were on the way to Tmal interment, and besides Thebes Babylon and Tyre in the cemetery 'cad nations our republic was to be Suibcd, that 1 wish you to underhand it is not to be obsequies, but nup tials; not mausoleum, but carpeted altar; not requiem, but wedding march; for "thy land shall bo married." A propose to nauo mnnr ot *t lie suitors vho arc claimin the hand of this rcublio. This l?nd is so fair, so beautill, so aflluon' that it has many suit jrs^ vad.if will depend much upon your jvice whether this or that shall be accepted or rejected. In the first place, 1 rcntarl: There is a greedy, all grasping monster who comes in as suitor seeking the hand of this republic, and .hat monster is known by the name of "**^opoly. His scepter is made out of *on of the rail track and the wire *7 ' "^A*hy. lie does everything for w dvantagc ami for the robbery "pic. Things wont on from '-^e until in the three legisln^jw York, New .Jersey and ?.ia for a long time monopoly /erything. If monopoly favijc it passes; if monopoly oppose lK,P1is rejected. Monopoly stands railroad depot putting into his t'01? in one year $200,000,000 in exImor all reasonable charges for serr\ Monopoly hold in his one hand (.^?am power of locomotion and in her the eloctrioity of swift comar\ti on. Monopoly has the KepubP?ny in one pocket and the l>cmoeuparty in the other pocket. Modecides nominations and clcciclty elections, state elections, ,<al elections. With bribes ho scs the votes of legislators, giving I'free passes, giving appointments Sidy relatives to lucrative positions, (.{ying them as attorneys if they arc carrying their goods for If) . jent. less if thoy arc merchants, 1 f he find a case very stubborn as las very important puts down bc hiin the hard cash of bribery, ut monopoly is not so easily caught i as when during the term of Mr. hanan the legislative committee in of our states explored and exposed manner in which a certain railway tpany had obtained a donation of 9 die land. It was found out that he senators of that state received f> Otllk omAntr fliA.n ltd lim.nk.nru a f lower house of that state received bcoeu $5,000 aud $10,000 each, the vernor of that state received $.">0,000, 3 clerk received $5,000, the licutcnlt governor received $10,000, all the lerks of the legislature received $5,000 ach, while $">0,000 was divided among he lobby agents. That thing on a arger or smaller scale is all the time oing on in some of the states of the onion, but it is not so blundering as it used to be, and therefore not so easily exposed or arrested. 1 tell you that the overshadowing curse of the United states today is monopoly. He puts his hand upon c\ery bushel of wheat, upon every sack of salt, upon every ton of coal, and every man, woman and child in the United States feels tho touch of that moneyed despotism. 1 rejoice lhat in 21 states of the Union already nti-monopoly leagues have been cstabshed. Ood speed them in the work of liberation. 1 have nothing to say against capitalists; a man has a right to all the money he can make honestly. 1 have nothing to say against corporations as such; without them no great enterprise would be possible, but what 1 do say is that the same principles aro to be applied to capitalists and to corporations that are applied to the poorest man and the plainest laborer. What is wrong for me is wrong lor great corporations. If I take from you your . property without any adequate compensation, j am a thief, and, if a railway damages the property of the people without making uny adequate compensation, that is a gigantic theft. What is wrong on a small scale is wrong on a large scale. Monopoly in Hngland has ground hundreds of thousands of her i best people into scmistarvation, and in | Ireland lias driven multitudinous ten- ; ants almost to madness, and in the United States proposes to take the wealth of sixty or seventy millions of people and put it in a few silken waljh Mete. ? Monopoly, brazen faced, iron lingered, vulture hearted monopoly, offers his hand to this republic. He stretches it out over the lakes and up the great rail roads and over the telegraph poles of the continent and says: "Here arc my heart and hand. He mine forever." / Let the millions of the people north, south, cast and west forbid the banns of that marriage, forbid them at the ballet box, forbid them ou the platform, forbid them by great organizations, forlorn by the overwhelming senti- I 'an outraged nation, forbid theui protest of the church of God, *> 1 i i ' w II l> I I Mfci' M ? ' I forbidlthcm by prayer to high heaven. That Herod shall not have thin Abigail. It shall not be to all devouring monopoly that this land is to be married. Another suitor claiming the hand of this republic is nihilism. lie owns nothing but n knife for universal cutthroatory and a nitroglycerin bomb for universal explosion, lie believes in no Clod, no government, no heaven and tio hell except what ho can mako on earth, lie slew the czar of llussia, keeps many a king practically imprisoned, killed Abraham Lincoln, would put to death every king and president on earth, and, if he had the power, would climb up until he could drive the God of heaven from his throne and take it himself, the universal butcher. In Franco it is called com munismjin the 1'nitcd States it is called anarchism; in Russia it is culled nihilism, hut that is the most graphic and descriptive term. It means comploto and eternal smash up. It would make the holding of property a crime, and it would drive a dagger through your heart and put a torch to your dwelling and turn over this whole land into the possession of theft and lust and rapine and murder. Where docs this monster live? In all tho towns and cities of this land. It offers its hand to this fair republic. It proposes to tear to pieces the ballot box, tho legislative hall, the congressional assembly. It would take this land and divide it up, or rather, divide it down. It would give as much to the idler as to tho worker, to the had as to the good. Nihilism! This panther having prowled across other lands has set its paw on our soil, and it is only waiting for the time in which to spring upon its prey. It was nihilism that burned the railroad property at I'itts i burg during the great riots; it was nihilism that slew black people in our northern cities during tho war; it was nihilism that mauled to death the Chi i nose immigrants years ago; it is nihilism j that glares out of the windows of tho i drunkeries upon sober people as they < goby. Ah, its newer ^ci Jvc.r A,sicu. I praytiod its power may | never be fully tested. It would, if it ; had the power, leave every church, f chapel, cathedral, sehoolhouse and col- ' lege in ashes. i bet me say it is the worst enemy of t the laboring classes in any country. < Tho honest cry for reform lifted by op- ? pressed laboring men is drowned out by 1 the vociferation for anarchy. Tho * 1 *i.~ ? 1 ? i i milium iiuu i m.: Vilg.lUUIIUM WHO rnilgC I 1 through our cities talking about t' ir ' 1 rights, when their first right is the pi itcntiary?if they could he hushed up, and the downtrodden laboring men of 1 this country could be heard, there would i be more bread for hungry children. In this land, riot and bloodshed never gained any wages foi the people or gathered up any prosperity. In this land the best weapon is not the club, not the shillalah, not firearms, hut the ballot. Let not our oppressed laboring men be beguiled to coming under the bloody banner of nihilism. It will make your taxes heavier, your wages smaller, your table scantier, your children hungrier, your suffering grenter. Vet this nihilism, with feet red of slaughter, comes forth and offers its hand for this republic. Shall the banns he proclaimed? If so, where shall the marriage altar be? and who will be the officiating priest? and what will be the music? That altar will have to be white with bleached skulls, the officiating prie?t must be a dripping assassin the music must he the smothered groan of multitudinous victims, the garlands must be twisted of night shade, the fruits must be apples of Sodom, tho wine must be the blood of St. Bartholomew's massacre. No! It is not to nihilism, the sanguinary monster, that this land is to be married. Another suitor for the hand of this nation is infidelity. When the midnight ruffians despoiled the grave of A. T. Stewart in St. Mark's churchyard everybody was shocked; but infidelity proposes something worse than that? the robbing of all the graves of Christendom of the hope of a resurrection. It proposes to chisel out from the tombstones of your Christian dead the words "Asleep in .Jesus," and substitute the words, "Obliteration?annihilation." Infidelity proposes to take the letter from the world's Father, inviting the nations to virtue and happiness, and tear it up into fragments so small that you cannot read a word of it. It proposes to take the consolation from the brokenhearted, and the soothing pillow from the dying. Infidelity proposes to swear in the president of the United States, and the supremo court, and the governors of states, and the witnesses in the courtroom with their right hand on Uainc's Age of Kcason," or Voltaire's "Philosophy of History." It proposes to take away from this country the hook that makes the difference between the United States and the kingdom of Dahomey, between American civilization and liornosian cannibalism. If infidelity could destroy the Scriptures, it would in 200 years turn the civilized nations hack to scmibarbarism, and then from scmibarbarism into midnight savagery, until the morals of a menagerie of tigers, rattlesnakes and cliimpanzcs would be better than the morals of tho shipwrecked human race. The only impulse in the right dircc tion that this world has ever had has i come from the Hiblc. It was tho i mother of Koman law and of healthful i jurisprudence. That book has been tho i mother of all reforms and all charities < mother of English magna charta and 1 American declaration of independence. : Hcnjamin Franklin, holding that holy 1 book in his hand, stood before an in- I fidel club in Paris and read to them out I of the prophecies of llabakkuk, and the infidels, not knowing what book it ( was, declared it was the best poetry < tk/... 1 'in... / ? i.i 1.4 ; vuvj unu gvui HCUlUi 1 Mill IJiJljn UlUUgllV 1 George Washington down on his knees I in the snow at Valley Verge, and led i the dying l'rince Albert to ask some I one to sing "Rock of Ages." t 1 tell you that the worst attempted i crime of the century is the attempt | to destroy this hook. Vet infidelity, i loathsome, stonchful, leprous, pestifer- 1 ous, rotten monster, stretches out its i hand, ichorous with the second death, c to take the hand of this republic. It f stretches it out through seductive mnga- ? zincs, and through lyccum lectures, i and through caricatures of religion. It asks for all that part of the continent t already fully settled and the two-thirds J not yet occupied. It says: "Give mo ( all cast of the Mississippi, with the keys 1. of the church and with the Christian h printing presses. Then give me Wyom- s \ ^ f ing, givo iuo Alaska, give uii Montana give mo Colorado, give 1110 all tho statoi west of ihe Mississippi and I will tak< those places and keep them by right o possession long hoforc the gospel cai be fully intrunchcd. And this suitor presses his caso ap pallingly. Shall the banns of that mar riagc bo proclaimed? "No!" say tin home missionaries of the west, a martyi band of whom the world is not worthy toiling amid fatigues and malaria ant starvation. "No, not if we can help it By what we and our children havo suf fered we forbid the banns of that mar riage!" "No!" say all patriotic voices "Our institutions wore bought at tot dear a priee and were defended at tot great a sacrifice to bo so cheaply sur rendered." "No!" says the God ol Bunker Hill and Indopcndcncc hall and fi.i ?u .1: i ---? ?t.!_ __ \iuti/ouui p;. i um nut muri hum iiu tion for such a farce." "No!" cry 10, 000 voices. "To infidelity this land shall not ho married!" But there is another suitor that pros enls his claim for the hand of this republic. He is mentioned in the verse following my tc*t where it says, "As the bridegroom rcjoiccth over the bride, so shall thy Cod rejoico over thee." It is not my figure. It is the figure of thr Bible. Christ is so desirous to have this world love him that he stops at tie humiliation of simile. He compares his grace to spittle on the eyes of the blind man. lie compares himself to a hen gathering the chickens, and in my text he compares himself to a suitor begging a hand in marriage. Does this Christ, the King, deserve this land? Behold Dilate s hall amlthc insulting expectoration on the face of Christ. Behold 1 lie Calvarean massacre and the awful hemorrcagc of five wounds. Jacob served I I years for Kachcl, hut Christ, my Lord, the King, suffered in torture Id years to win the love of this world. As often princesses at their very birth ure pledged in treaty of marriage to princes or kings of earth, so this nation it its birth was pledged to Christ for liviuo marriage. Before Columbus and his 12(1 men em nirked on the Santa Maria, the l'inta tnd the Nina for their wonderful voyige what was the last thing they did? I'licy sat down and took the holy sacra ncnt of the Lord Jesus Christ. After hey caught the first glimpse of this jountry and the gun of one ship had innounocd it to the other vessels that land had been discovered, what was the long that went up from all the three leeks? "Gloria in excclsis." After Columbus and his 120 men had stepped from the ship'sdeck to the solid ground, what did they do? They all knelt and consecrated the new world to God. What did the Huguenots do aftcrthoy landed in the Carolinas? What did the Holland refugees do alter they had landed in New York? What did the pilgrim fathers do after they landod in New England? With hended knee and uplifted face and heaven besieging prayer, they took possession of this continent for God. How was tho lirst American congress opened? Ity prayer, in the name of lesus Christ.From its birth this nation was pledged for holy mar riage with Christ. And then see how good God lias been to us! Just open the map of the continent and see how it is shaped for immeasurable prosperities. Navigable rivers, more in number and greater than of any other land, rolling down on all sides into the sea, prophosyiug large manufaetuies and easy commerce, hook at the great ranges of mountains timbered with wealth on the toj and sides, metaled with wealth underneath. One hundred and eighty thousand square miles of coal. One hun dred and eighty thousand square miles of iron. Tho land so contoured that extreme weather hardly ever lasts more than three days?extreme heat or extreme cold. Climate for the most part bracing and favorable for brawn and brain. All fruits, all minerals, all harvests. Scenery displaying an autumnal pageantry that 110 land on earth pretends to rival. No South American eart hnuakes. No Scotch niisl* Nr London fogs. No Kgpytian plagues. No Germanic divisions. The people of the United States are happier than any peoploon earth. It is the testimony of every man that has traveled abroad. For the poor, more sympathy for the industries, more opportunity. Oh, how good God was to our fathers, and how good he has been to us and out children. To him?blessed be his mighty name?to him of cross and triumph to him who still remembers the prayer of the Huguenots and Holland refugees and the pilgrim fathers?to him shall this land he married. Oh, you Christian patriots, by your contributions and your prayers hasten on the fulfillment of the text. We have been turning an important leaf in the mighty tome of our national history. One year at the gates of this continent over 500,000 emigrants ar rived. I was told by the commissioner of emigration that the probability was that in that year 000,000 emigrants would arrive at the different gates of commerce. Who were they? The paupers of Hurope? No. At Kansas City I was told by a gentleman, who had opportunity for large investigation, that a great multitude had gono through there, averaging in wordly estate $800. I was told by an officer of the government, who had opportunity for authentic investigation, that thousands and thousands had gone, averaging ?1,000 in possession each. I was told by the commission of emigration that 20 fami lies that had recently arrived brought ^85,000 with them. Mark you, families, not tramps. Additions to the nalional wealth, not subtractions (herefrom. 1 saw some of them reading their Ifihlcs and their hymnbooks, thanking ?od for his kindness in helping them cross the sea. Some of them had Christ n the steerage all across the waves and ;hoy will have Christ in the rail trains ivhich at 5 o'clock every afternoon start or tho great west. They aro being aken by tho commission of emigration n New York, taken from the vessels, irotocted from the Shylocks and the iharpers, and, in the name of (Jod and lumanity, passed on to their destinaio 1, and there they will turn your willerncss into gardens, if you will build or them churchos and ostablishfor Ihcm ehools and send *o tl 16 ui Christian nissionarics. Are you afraid this continent is goine o be overcrowded with this population? Vh. that shows you have not been to hilifonii i, that shows you have not >oen to Oregon, that shows that you invo not been to Texas. A fishing mack today on Lake Ontario might as II. | , well bo afraid of being crowded byotlis cr shipping before night as for any one 3 of tho next ton generations of Atnerif cans to bo afraid of being overcrowded i by foreign populations in this country. The one State of Texas is far larger . than all the Austrian empire, yet tho . Austrian empire supports 3."),000,000 ? people. Tho one Stato of Texas is r larger than all France, and Franco supports 30,000,000 people. The one State 1 of Texas far surpasses in size the (Jcrinan ctnpiro. yet the Germanic ompiro . supports 11,000,000 people. 1 tell you . the great want of the western states is more population. ) While sotno pooplo may stand at the , gates of the city saying, "Stay back!" . to foreign populations, I press out as f far beyond those gates as 1 can press I nilt lutvnn/1 t f???!- ?

They are , sick of t .c governments that havo op, pressed them, and they want free Amor iea! (jive them the great gospel of welcome. Throw around thorn all , Christian hospitalities. They will add , their industry and hard earned wages , to this country, and then we will dedi, cate all to Christ and "thy land shall bo married." Hut where shall the marriage altar he? Let it be the Koeky mountains, when, through artificial and mighty irrigation, all their tops shall ho covered, a-< they will he, with vineyards and orchards and grain fields. Then let the Hustons and the New Yorks and the Charlestons of the Pacific coast come to the marriage altar on one side, and then let Hostons and the New York and the Charlestons of the Atlantic come to the marriage altar on the other side, and there between them let this bride of nations kneel and then if the 'organ of the loudest thunders that over shook the Sierra Ncvadas on the one side or moved the fundations of the Allcghanics on the other side should open full diapason of wedding march, that organ of thunders could not drown the voice of him who would take tlio hand of this bride of nations, saying, "as a bridegroom rejoiecth over a bride, so thy Cod rejoiecth over thee." At that marriage banquet the platters shall l)p III* \ntMwlu uiluni' o rwl fl?r* nlinlwiAa 4' California gold and the fruits of northern orchards and the spices of southern groves and the tapestry of American manufacture and the congratulations from all the free nations of earth and from all the triumphant armies of heaven. And so thy land shall he married." THE CROPS AND WEATHER. What the Department of Agriculture i Says About Them. The following is the weekly bulletin of the condition of the weather and crops of the state issued Wednosdayby i the South Carolina section of the climate and crop service of the United States weather bureau: The week ending May 20th averaged i over four degrees cooler than usual, with an extreme minimum of U> degrees at Walhalla on the 2.r>th. i The rainfall for the week was heavy . at a few widely separated points, but [ was generally light and insufficient to , relieve the prevailing drought. In some localities no rain fell. The need of rain is general and is indicated for , all crops. Hail fell over the central and eastern count ies on the 22d, but in Spartanburg, Union. Orangeburg and Colleton only was any considerable damage done, and over small areas in those counties. The dry weather was favorable for cultivation; farm work make rapid progress and held crops arc free from grass and weeds, bate planted seeds arc not all up, and large areas remain to be planted to corn and cotton should the ground become softened sufficiently to permit preparation within the next fortnight. Where moisture is lacking corn is turning yellow, and late plantings are not up. Over about half the State the crop is in good condition, and over the more easterly counties is being laid by. Worms and grasshoppers have dam1 aged corn in places. The cool weather was unfavorable , for cotton, which is making slow growth, and in a few localities is infested by lice. Late plantings not up. Sea island cotton has good stands. Late tobacco settings have poor stands, and in a few localities the plants are dying for want of moisture. Karly plantings are doing well. Worms have appeared in one county. Wheat is ripening and harvesting has begun. Wheat and oats arc below former expectations, tho latter being a short crop generally for fall sown and a failure for spring sown. The wcath cr has been favorablo for harvesting. Kicc is doing well i 11 most districts and has good stands. In Colleton somo . fields arc infested by caterpillars Hoeing has begun in the (Georgetown district and is well advanced elsewhere. Melons, sugar cane and minor crops generally continue promising. Truck farms in tho Charleston district wcro visited by heavy rains and arc greatly improved. Some few peas have been planted on stubble lands but the ground is generally too dry. No improvement in tho fruit prospects. Raisincr Tomatoes. Prepare tho soil, which should be a rildl In.'lln lit; lil.iui i ri ,t ilrtm, nn/l liiirfu". ; -V |'*VI?..IR v*UU|f 4 % 11V* tlUUVTT ing well. Then set your plants in rows three feet apart, and two feet apart in rows, running north anil south, if possible. in order to secure hotter advantage of the sunshine. Cultivate by plowing and hoeing. When the plants begin to bloom top the stem just above the tirst cluster of flowers, so that the flowers terminate tho stem. The cftcct is that the sap is immediately sent into the buds next below the cluster, which soon push strongly and produce another cluster of flowers each. When these are visible tho branch to which they belong is also topped down to their level. This is done five times in succession. Hy this means the plants becoino stout, dwarf bushes, not over 18 inches high. In addition to this, all the laterals arc nipped oft. Treated in this way, the fruit acquires a beauty, size and excellence unattainable by any other means. Further, if tho leaves and trimmings of the tomatoes be made into a strong tea and sprinkled on tho cabbage, it will kcepolF thoso troublesorao green worms. Willed Away His Wite. Ham T. Jack, of New York, willed his wife to his brother .James 0. Jack. The last testament of the actor and theatrical manager, proprietor of several theatres, '"Creole," and other burlesque companies, who died April 27 last, was tiled for probate today in the oiTico of the surrogate. It contains this remarkable provision: '"It is my wish, first and foremost, that my brother James and my wife Kmma shall become husband and wife." James C. Jack was asked if he would accept the bequest of his brother, but he would make no statement. Wilmington and Conway Railroad.
