Is Life
Worth Living?
That depends upon the
Liver. If the Liver ia
inactive the whole sys
tem ia out of order the
fcreath is had, digestion
poor, head dull or aching,
energy and hopefulness
gone, the spirit is de
pressed, a heavy weight
exists after eating, with
general despondency and
the hlues. The Liver is
the housekeeper of the
health; and a harmless,
eimple remedy that acts
like Nature, does not
constipate afterwards or
require constant taking,
does not interfere with
business or pleasure dur
ing its use, makes Sim
mons Liver Regulator a

SAY REPUBLICANS OF JUDGE OaESlI-AM.
SKETCH OF AN INTERESTING! AND U8E-
FUL LIFE.
Xcw York Rrmrder.
There is uo ground fur assuming, ax
some too hasty Republican writers are
doinj, that Judj Gresham has recanted
Lis lii'o lon llepublieanUnr in accepting
the first scat ia Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet.
He has at all points in his career shown
himself to b a man of the sturdiest prin
ciplea strong, sincere, aud steadfast
statesman.
That he has essentially changed a'
this late point in his career, we do not
fur a moment believe. He has not gone
over to tho Democratic party; the Demo
cratic party has gone over to him.
Mr. Cleveland has done a bold, origi
nal, and politically audacious thing in
invitiug this eminent Republican leader
to sit at his right hand in the first and
most responsible post in his Administra
tion. But there is no reason for brand
ing Judge Gresham as a renegade for
accepting the high honor and grave re
sponsibility thus tendered to him. The
whole Republican party is indeed com
plimented by Mr. Cleveland's act.
Walter Q. Gresham is the high-mind-td
Republican statesman to-day that he
has always been, and he will carry the
convictions of his lifetime into Mr. Cleve
land's Cabinet and act upon them on all
occasions. His presence there will be a
guarantee to the country that no radical
disturbance of the Republican policies of
the past thirty-two years will be attempt
ed during Mr. Cleveland's term.

The Rev. Dr. Aaron Ilahn in his
lecture io Army and Navy Hall Sunday
morning on "The Modern Standpoint of
Jesus Christ," said :
"In those days the Jews wero under
dire oppression from the Romans. Many
deliverers appeared, and the people hailed
with delight the idea of Messiah. The
Jewish country was swarming with en
thusiasts who were eager to aid the people.
Two of these became famous Judah of
Galilee and Jesus of Nazareth. Judah
urged force; Christ urged humility. He
was tried before Pilate and put to death.
His death was a misunderstanding be
tween himself and the Roman Govern
ment. The Jews admit that Christ was
crucified, but deoy that he was crucified
by tho Jews. Why should the Jews
have crucified Jesus ? They hailed him
with joy and delight. The country was
swarming with proclaimed Messiahs, but
none of them were put to death. How
did the Jews inflict capital puuishmentr
By stoning or beheading or burning.
Crucifixion was unknown among the
Jews. That was the Roman method.
Then it is said that Jesus was sentenced
at night. Tho supreme court of the Jews
met only in the day. There were two
thieves crucified with Jesus. Under
Jewish law that could never be. The
Jewish law provides that only one man
should be executed in a day. Christ was
crucified under Roman law." Cleve

Johu Moncure Robinson was tho ol
dest son of the lato Moncure Robinson,
for many years President of the Seaboard
and Roanoke Railroad Co. of Virginia,
nd the Reading Railroad Co., of Penn
sylvania, and as one of the first civil en
gineers of this country was actively en
gaged in railroad enterprises until inca
pacitated by extreme age. His mother's
maiden name was Charlotte Taylor, grand
daughter of Edmond Randolph, of Vir-
giuia, of Revolutionary fame. Through
all his life he looked upon his mother as
the ideal woman, and it was his wont to
visit her often in Philadelphia, where
she now lives at an advanced age to
mourn the death of her son, who, as the
head of large enterprises, culminating in
tho construction of the Georgia, Caiolina
and Northern railroad, had rendered him
self famous; who under all circumstances
was known ever to keep faith with every
one with whom he had business relations;
his word was his bond.
Mr. John M. Robinson commenced
his career in the shops of tho Seaboard
& Roanoke Railroad Company, at Ports
mouth, Va. He then was a conductor,
and subsequently became superintendent
and then tho president of that road.
When tho R. & A. and the R. & G. R. R.
Compauies lost their president, Mr. G.
W. Griee, he was chosen to succeed him.
He also succeeded Mr. M. Falls as presi
dent ot the liay 1,1 ne, ana later, was
elected to the presidency of the Old
Dominion Steamship ' nmpaoy, io the
place of Mr. MeCready, a ho died at sea
returning from Europe. At tho be
ginning of the late war Mr. J. M. Robin
sob was on the staff of Gen. Sara Jones,
and with Gen. Lorin" in the Kanawha
campaign, and was slightly wounded at
the battle of Fayette C. H., Va., in 1863,
The succeeding year he was commission
ed as inspector of Sonthero railroads, and
virtually looked after the transportation
of the Confederacy. Subsequently he
was sent to Europe by the Confederacy
to purchase railroad supplies, and ran the
blockade out of Wilmington. He re
turned to the Confederacy before the sur
render and stopped in Norfolk, Va. Af
terwards for a short while he was engaged
in reorganizing his road and putting it io
shape. While there be had a severe
attack ot rheumatism, from which he
never fully recovered.
lie accumulated quite a large estate
notwithstanding his family which consists
of six cirls and two bovs. The names
of the latter are Monoure and Randolph
He lived in princely style and entertain-
ed most lavishly. In the sixties he mar
ried Miss Champ Conway, daughter of
Dr. Conway, formerly of Richmond, Va.
His parents were born in Virginia, but
he was born ia Philadelphia, though ed
ucated and brought up in Virginia. lie
was about 57 years old.
