Lasp'SHiittay the Rev. Dr. Ilixon of-Jtfew York, preacliril a sermon in 'Which lie truthfully remarked: “At Iasi the bloody chasm has been bridged. The war has really ended and firing must soon cease. Tilt farmers of the West and Norlh have joined hands with the farmers of the South, solemnly cove naming together to forget ilie bilternessof the past and throw off the curseof traditional sec- . tionalrsm. The Christian manhood of America owes to the farmers a debt of gratitude for undertaking this divine work. General Sherman lias said, “WAR IS HELL.”It is. And we have had enough of it. Every effort to revive the bitterness of the lat6 war is inspired only by the devil. The (furseof the nation for the last two decades has been the determined efforts of a certain class of demagogues to trade in the memo■c ries of the dead. When the soldiers laid down their arms and returned to their homes and loved ones, these ghouls began their ghost dance over the fields made rich with the blood of heroes. While t,ho ''war was in progress these men were not in it. When the fighting ceased they whetted their jawbones and began, and they have been at it faithfully ever since. They have driven the sections further and further apart by slander and misrepresentation. TLcy have wearied the ears of heaven and earth with their din. They have fanned the dying embers of hatred into flame again and again, that in the conflagrations which followed they might rob and steal. They have made progress infli- ' possible because they made ISSUES OF MEMORIES, and marshalled the hosts of the living to fight the hopes of the dead. They are neither brute nor human ; they arc ghouls. The farmers have declared that they are going to hang the ringleaders of this gang and put an end to their business. In this God k given task they-should have the earnst prayers and co-operation of the Christian manhood oT-tbe Norlh and Kristin n exclaims with the farmer, “In the name of God, the common Father, leii. ns be brethren. Let us cease this foolish wrangle over memories and turn to the great work ot lo-dav.”

“The men and the organizations that refuse to give heed to this cry of tiie heart of the nation for peace and fraternity will be crushed by the resistless sweep of determined tuitions as they join hands and together press forward tq the goal of a regenerated nation. Mississippi rises from the lethargy of traditionalism, turns her face toward the rising sun of a new day*drops a tear aver the grave of Jefferson Davis, formally repudiates 1n her ucw Constitution the doctrine of secession, and extends her hands to the struggling fanners of Kansas. Slavery is now only a memory for the aged. It is ancient history fgr the 'young. I never *iw a slave. The negro D enfranchised : and it only reiuaih%,to educate him and he will bs free. There is no NEGRO PROBLEM to-day outside the imaginatiou of political schemers, exeept the problem ofeducation and growth for jhe negro race. Such men as J. C. Price of North Carolina, President of the Afro-American League, have long since recognized this fact, and have entered with energy airtf euthusiam upon the gigantic work of thus uplifting their race. The problem that confronts the negro in the South is the Same that confronts his white brother in the North and West. It is not the problem of ballot, but of broad. ‘•The real issues of our life have obscured how long enough by the fog ot sectional animosity. We must address ourselves to Hiving issues. A NEW GENERATION of men lias come upon the scene. They have new problems, new hopes, new aspiration, new fears, new dangers. nTIhs younger generation of men are sick and t ired of listening to harangues about t he memories and issues of a great past by Jon-mouthed demagogues, who contributed nothing to-that past except an additional name to the census roll which eau not be found on the army muster. They are tired of this sort of thing for many reasons. They feel that it was not their fault that they weic not born caiicr and could not shine in that golden age. They feel that it i» a grime lo rob the living of .the highfe, though it be in est possibilities of the sacred name o cred dead. They living on tiie altar the loved and satotmolaie the the dead. Till OltAVEST PROBLEMS to the human race for lire that Ibe destiny t upon the solution

of the late contending armies are practically one. When the battle ceased. I me men on both sides recognized thi«. The Southern man now fervently thanks God that his country is freed fron. the curse of slavery. The Christian manhood of this nation ought to be a unit in purpose, ideal, and effort. YOt-H HEARTS ARE OXE. Yon are separated only by external?, and they are mostly traditions. At the close of a battle, during the war, a dying Federal officer asked a passing Confederate to have a few moments prayer with him. The Confederate dismounted and kneeled by the side ot the dying man. He prayed earnestly and tenderly. Up in the arms ot a lotring heart lie took the sufferer into the presence of the Father. He told him of the loved ones at home, of their broken hearts and lives. He prayed one sweet petition after another, and when he closed, the dead head of the officer lay on bis bosom. The dying man had used what strength lie had left to crawl tip and wind both aims around the neck of his late enemy In battle while he ptayctk The battle had ceased. In that hour of sorrow their two hearts beat with a single thought. They were one. “Men and brethren, let us remember tbi*. The battle has ceased. We are children of a common Father! “The era of fractrical strife between the sections of this nation is passing away. The day of real fraternity is dawning. Let men, North, South, East, West, take note. The grave already yawns to receive him who refuses to hceilRhisTact.” How strange that, because the Democrat quoted Blaine on the hte proceeding of the Republican party, the Petersburg Press shouUl sneak an accusuatiou of liar against the editor of this paper. To say that Blaine never said that no one will be found fool enough to accept the nomination in 1892 if the Republicans keep on in their present way, is to say that he knows all that Blaine ever said. It is vastly easier for an editoi to know that Blaine has said a particular thing than it is to know all that Blain lias said. The Press editor, must according to bis assertion, know all that Blaine has said; while the Demo crat pretends to know only one or two things that Blaine has said. One of these things we have mentioned ; the other is his assertion about the present Republican tariff, that it will not create a market for another barrel! of flour or another pound of pork. Why, bless the Press editor’s life, the | first assertion was made by Blaine in aii interview, and the Iasi he wrote over Ilia own signature and had it 1 published by himself as secretary of state. And BliUu^ was right in condemning the Republicans for their nefarious legislation and in roundly condemning iliat theiving McKinley bill. No one or the least judgment would dispute it,.and if he should there is for evidence the overwhelming defeat of the Republican party at the last November election. It matters nothing to the Democrat bow of- ; ten the Press cries liar or intimates it, but, it the Press wants to make for itself a reputation it should not expose any more ignorance as to the present political situation, lor the readers of that paper will soon grow very tired. If a niau can not “give a reason for the hope that lies Within him,” he would better be dumb.

Go to Shorcham Flats, iu Washington City, and you will find the Levi P. Morton Saloon not more or less than a spacious hotel. There is a beautifully furnished room connected with the building. In It are books and papers of almost all kinds and descriptions from a ten cent yellow baek novel to t be ever precious holy bible. Excuse us, for the presence of the latter is doubtful. Everything, however, is pleasant. There appears to be nothing about it to disgust the most faslideous, and ail seems to be overly moral aud nice in and about the Vice-President’s much-sought hotel. But just turn aside and touch that ever present enunciator and a polite bar tender, as it were, walks •nit and the apparent moral atmosphere vanishes with bis “Wbal will you have to drink ?” All this, too, in the United States' Vice-President’s saloon. “And w hat of it ?” asks some one. Well, as much worse thau a common bar room iu Petersburg is M irlon’s saloon as (be Supreme Court of. tjbc United Stales is greater Ilian Tom Keed’s court. For shame let no man indorse the present administration’s saloon, nor yet the historic saloons in the t wo wings of the capiloi building at Washington. For shame ! O, for shame! We have uever yet secu it explained whv the sugar planter of Louisiana should get a bounty of two cen*s a pound on his sugar while the wheal planter or the corn planter of Iudiaua gets no bounty at all on his product, if bounties are to he the order of the day, why should they not he passed around to everybody? But perhaps we shall have thiti matter satisfactorily cleared up by Mr. Mckinley or some other of the able Republicans who, it may he supposed, will make speeches on the blessings of (he Tarjff, and Sugar bounties, when Cougress reassembles after the holidays. Some difficult questions will have to he settled before the government can lend the Alliance money on land mortgages. First, nrlffct the* government^'would do with land that it might have to take iu case a borrower failed to pay. Second, what be decided on.

THE GIBL ABOUT TOWN. She Allhe Condemns The Vialator and Ttie Executor of The law. : T!»e more my opinions are disreganlfKl, the more I am determined you shall hear me, and if it does not please you to listen to a fete open fact sail the more shall I feel disgusted, aud toll you who, besides the perpetrators of crime, are to blame for the contumely that is possessed by in authority in Petersbilrf ancrPike comity. Only last Thursday evening I had business to attend to up towu after the night had spread her sable mantel over the usually quiet little city of Petersburg. I reached Main street— all was quiet and unusually peaceful —until I had made some two squares when, in an ally, only a half square front Main, I heard a women, yes, what ought to have been a woman, cursing apd damning her husband in such language as ought to disgust the devil and his imps. It was drunkenness and prostitution right here in our midst that had brought a womau to this low state with her groveling, associates. While our town and county are not worse than other places, there is no excuse for permitting it here. The better classes do not know how awfully wicked tho dives and dens of vice in this country are. It is only by a raid of the officials or a dispute among the denizens of vice and crime, which brings them into court, that the law-abiding citizen ever learns of the dark side of life in the community. It is depravity in lowest form—a recking ccspoal adulterating the neighborhood for miles around—and it exists here ia Petersburg ami Pike coutrty as well as elsewhere. From time to time the Democrat makes an etlort to have the cryin^jVils eradicated, which results in the miserable ghouls who sells their souls for the price of a pint of whisky or a searjeCwoman's robe, being made pubi c spectacles in the hands of the marshal <>r sherifi, aud fined or jailed for a few days, only to rest for the perpetration of viler crimes.

1 es, rest; rest for the system; rest to recuperate and start a new their drunken orgies and abominable existanec. The fountain head, proprietor, queen-bee of ilte den, a whatever-you-may-eall-her; the one who should be driven like a plague from town, is, at the very most, fined occasionally, and readily acquiesces in this round-about-wav of licensing her wickedness. Understand I do uot expect the complete expulsion of the demimonde, for such prohibition has long since proven a failure; but there is no excuse tor permitting the many deus of iniquity to exist. Nearly every perpetrated crime starts from these damnable places; robbery, manslaughter, and-even murder, in the majority of cases, are eonecivcd aud carried out in just such places, and will continue (*• be, if such deus as these are not swept from the face of the, earth. These hot-beds of vice cannot be included in the Nineteenth Century philosopher's ‘ Necessary Evil” argument. They should be crushed as a man would kill a viper eucroachiug on the sanctity of his heme. Once in a while the public loudly complains, and some Amazonian femme du 'pave is arrested and brought to court to account for the wickedness ot the house she runs. An unfortunate buy, usually astrippling of masculine humanity with his hair parted in the middle and no brains on either side, is found with licr. She is able to pay her fine, for her vicious practices have enabled her to even own houses aud lots and to wear finer clothes than the modest, virtuous movers and daughters of the communin', but the poor foot that was her dupe must lie iu jail to satisfy the State that could have prevented it all by having enforced the law soouer. Almost every day and every night, scenes of riot and delmuchery, too awful to appear in print, are enacted, and yet our good people ate continually raising funds to send missfouaHcs no the heathen iu foreign lands! Iu (lie name of common sense and reason, why don't they begin at Lome ? The only Christian organization that has ever entered these places of vice and crime at homo is the Salvation A rut] —-find bless that band!—and they ire scorned and laughed at by the owners of cushioned pews iu paltial churches! I^et the churches do something; let llie proper authorities put a foot down on these deadly neighborhoods aud Ihey will become the abode ot respectable people who fear God and keep the law.

Alfew Men. At their last Institute, the teachers of Jefferson township passed the following resolution: “Resolved, that it is the sense ot tins Institute that the apportionment of school revenue beon the basis ofth* daily attendance instead of on that ot the enumeration. And that the Representative and Joint Senator from Pike county be and are hereby instructed to work to that end.*’ There seems to be some good reasons for the above. The city schools can be in session for ten months in the year while the country schools cannot be in session more than twothirds of that time. This is done by an unfair enumeration. In the cities .there are a good many catholics enumerated that never attend the common schools. They are enumerated, and, though they themselves get none of the benefits, the schools are, bv their presence, made longer tor tlte protestants who send their children to the public schools. This gives the cities and towns a dccidcd’advantage over the countrymakes live country help pay for the advantages the cities and towns have. This seems to be unfair. Snpt. Thomas says IreMs decidly in favor of the law’s being changed so that all will fare alike; This would seem to lie correct. -Any law that gives one class an advantage over another, Or makes one class support another, ought lo be changed. It seems that anyone would think this way. ' Queries. Is a dollar enough lo fine a man for misdemeanor? Will Petersburg organize a Busi- ! ness Men's Association, or rot ? Do the merchants know they can sell more goods by judicious advertising, and thereby beat other towns, and that they ought to take an interest in increasing the circulation of I lie local papers? Could not every town in Pike county be improved by a little industry? When the next snow flies, would it not be well for the merchants to clean the sidewalks in front of their store, before the “beautiful” is tramped do\Vn, and also see to it that the marshal cleans the crossings ? Is it not strange that there is not a public bath in Petersburg? Is it not time to drop petty spites and jealousies wheie the public good is concerned. ? When people make news by their owu conduct, and want it kept Out of the papers, why will they Wait till it is published before kicking? As is usually the case, the very men who will be benefitted most by the proposed Tri-State Fair at Evansville are the very last *>(“• tff-hfee a:;y “interest in it. The railroads, steam boats, hotels and saloons would make more money by it thau any other classes of business men, and yet they do not take an iuterest in the matter as they should. Just such things often happen' in Petersburg. “Set down on” all such parsimonious men. Emmett L. Rose, of Indianapolis, assistant Sec. of the State Board of Agriculture, is a candidate for Chief Clerk of the Indiana llonse of Representatives. He promises a clean and impartial administration and a competent corps of clerks. Whatever man succeeds in securing the place, we hope that he will do just what Mr. Rose promises. Such would be right.

A republican in this city who suffers from rheumatism has been accustomed to using-pills nianutacturcd iu England, fur which he paid fifty cents a box. Since the McKinley bill has gone into effect he has to pay 75 cents a box for the same article and he is so indignant that he has turned Deinocrat.—Evansville Courier. How on earth can any voter ever see that it is to his interest to vote for a law that makes a few men rich aud tliansatiBs poor? Such is McKinley - ism. Harrison is not occupying the attention of the press now. He stems to be regarded as out of the race by Democrats, and Republicans as well. The National Farmer’s Alliance “set down on” the Force hill in unmistakable language. Go tell Harrison. Elsewhere you will find a 'change in Barber Parrott’s advertisement.

I am now 28 years old, and from the time I was seven years of age until 1883,1 suffered with a severe ease of Scrofula. Poring this time I took every kuown remedy, but to no-purpose. My father look me to North Carolina, where 1 was put under tbe treatment of an eminent physician. The medicines given me bad only a temporary effect, for shortly after my return the Scrofula broke out iu a more malignant form, and I was worse off than efer before. In 18831 discontinued taking all other medicines and commenced taking Swift’s Specific (S. S. 8. ) 1 took a number of bottles aud it cured me. 1 have been free from that time until now. T. A.
