Oh. then you will want Christ in the ship!
J learn, in the next place, that people who
rollow Christ must not always expect smooth
sailing. Whn the3 . disci r.lcs got into the
small boab?,thev said: "What a delightful
t rung this i-! Who would not be a follower'
. Christ when he can ride in one or these
small boats after the ship in which Jesus i3
sailing?" But when the storm came down
theso disciples found but that following
Jesus did not iit-ftys make, smooth sailing.
Ko you have found out, and so I haves foun 1
but. If there are any people who you woula
think ought to have had a good time In get
ting out of this world, the apostles of Jesus
Christ ought to have been the men. Have
you ever noticed how they got out of the
world? tit. James lost his head; Rt. Philip
was hung to death against a pillar; St.
Matthew was struck to death by a halberd;
St. Mark was dragged to death through the
streets; St. James the Les3 had his brains
dashed out with a fuller's club; St. Matthias
Was stoned to death; St. Thomas was struck
throUch with a spear, John Huss in the
fin, the Albigenses, the Waldenses, the.
Scotch Covenanters did they always flnt
ni- tih sailing? Why go so far?
Tli ie is a young rn in in a store in New
York who has a hard time to maintain his
Christian ehara"ter. All the clerks lauith
at him. IV; om plovers in that store laugh at
him, and when he loses his patience they
say, 'Vou are pretty Christ ian!"' Not so
eay is it br that y.ung man to follow
Christ. If the Lord did not help him hour
by hour, he would fail. Thre are scores of
young men lo- Iny who would be willing to
testify that in following Christ one does not
always tlnd .smooth sailing. There is A
Christian girl. In her home they do not
like Christ. She has hard work to tret a silent
place in which to say her prayers. Father
opposed to religion; mother oppose! to re
ligion; brothers and sisters opposed to relig
ion. The Christian girl does not always find
it smooth sailing when she trie3 to follow
Jesus. But be of good heart As seafarers;
when winds are ilea 1 ahead, by sailing the
tdiip on starboard ta -k and bracing the yards
make t!i winds that oppose the course pro
pel the ship forward, so opposing troubles,
through Cfirist, veering around the bowsprit
of faith, will waft yon to heaven when, iflhe
winds had been abaft, they might' have
rocked and sung you to sleep, and while
dreaming of the destined port of heaven yoit
could not ha ve heard the cry of warning and
would hav j gone crashing into the breakers.
Again, my subject teaches me that good
people sometimes get very much frightened
From the toucan:! manner of these disciples
as they rushed into the stern of the vessel
and woke Christ up, you kuow that they are
fearfully scar d. An 1 so it is now that you
often find good people wildly agitated.
"Oh!" says some Christian man. "the infidel
magazines, the bad newspapers, the spirits
uali-tic societies, the importation of so many
foreign errors, the church of God is going to
be lost, the ship is going to founder! The
ship is going down!" What are you fright
ened about? An old lion goes into his cav
ern to take a sleep, and h lies down until
hts shaggy mane covers his paws. Mean
while the spiders outside begin to spin webs
over the mouth of his cavern and say. "That
lion cannot break out through this web,"
and they keep on spinning the gossamer
threa-ls until they get the mouth of the
cavern .covered over. "Now," they say,
'the lion's done, the lion's done." After'
awhile the lion awakes and shakes himself,
arid he. walks out from the cavern, never
knowing there wer.i any spiders' webs, and
with his voice he shakes Ihe mountain. Let
the infidels and the skeptics of this day go
on spinning their webs, spinning their infi
del gossamer theories, spinning them all
over tho place where Ohrjjt seems to' be
pleepius. They say: JsSEjst can never
again coma. out. The work is done. He
can never get through this logical web we
have been spinning." The day will come
when the I.ion of Ju lah's tribe will rouse
himself an J come forth and shake mightly
the Nations. What then all your gossamer
threads? What is a spider's web to aa
aroused lion? . Do not fret, then, about the
world's going backward. It is going for
ward. You stand on the banks of the sea when
the tide is rising. The almanac says the
tide is rising, but the wave comes up to a
certain point and then it recedes. "Why,"
you say, "ihe tide is going back." No. it is
not. The next wave comes una little higher,
a.n I it -rocs back. Again you say the tide is
going oat. And the next time the wave
comes to a higher point, and then to a higher
point. Notwithstanding all thesa recessions
af last all the shipping of the world knows it
is high tide. So it is with the cause of Christ
in the worl-.I. One year it comes up to one
poiut, and we are greatly encouraged. Then
it seems to go back next year. We say the
tide is going out. Next year it comes to a
higher point and falls back, and next year it
comes to a still higher point and falls back,
but all the time it is advancing, until it shall
be full tide., "an i the earth shall be full of
tho knowledge of God as the waters flll the
sea."
" Again. I learn from this subject that Christ
is God'and man in the same person. I go
into the back part of that boat, and I look
on Christ's sleeping faoe and see in that face
the story of sorrow and weariness, and a
deeper shadow comes over His faoe, and I
think He must be dreaming of the cross that
is to come. As I stand on the back part of
the boat looking on His race I say: "He Is a
man! He is a man!" But when I see Him
come to the prow of the boat, and the eea
kneels in His presence, and the winds fold
their wings at His command, I say: "He is
God' He is God!" The hand that set

Thou weary One, Thou suffering One. have
mercy on me!" "Ecce homo!" Behold the
man! But when I want courage for the con
flict of life, when I want some one to beat
down my enemies, when I want fatth for the
great future, then I come to the front of the
boat and I see Christ, standing there In all
His omnipotence, and 1 say, 9 .irrtt, TSot
who cou'dst hush the storm can hush all mj
sorrows, ail nv temptations, all my fears!'
Ecce Deus!" Behold the God!
I learn also from this, subject that Christ
can hush the tempest. Some of you, my
hearers, have h heavy loal of troubles.
Some of you have wept until you can weep
no more. Terhaps Go I took th sweetest
chill out oi your hou'e. the oil-5 that asked
the most curious questions the one that
hung aroun I you with greatest fondue.
The gravediggers spade cut down through
vour bleeding h?art! Of perhaps it was the
only one that you hal.au l your soul has
ever since been like a desMate 1 castle, where
the birds of the niht h vo: amid the falling
ton-ers and along the crumbling stairway.
i Or perhaps it was aa age l' mother that was
called a war. You us si to s-nd for her when
you hal any kin t o trouble. fne was
in your home to welco ie your chil ireu
into life, when thy did she wis there
to pitv vou. You know That the ol 1
hand wiil never do auy more kin law

keep so well in the casket of th? lo -k'-t iloj
not look so wll as it did on the day wh-u
she moved it baek from the wrinkle l for -bead
under the old fashione I boanet iu the
church in the country. Or perhaps you:
property has gone. You said, "Tuer. I
have so" much in bank stoek, so much I hav
in lands, so mu-h I have in scuriiies."
Suddenly it is all gon". A'as! forth mm
who once had plenty oi money, but who has
hardly enough now for the morning market

Christ in tne back part of tin ship, crvlnrr,
"Master, carest Thou not that I perish.'" and
Christ rose up and quieted you. J.-jus hush
ing the tempest.
There is one storm into which we must a I
run. When a man lets go this life t tak
hold of the next, I do not care how lum-'i
grace he has, he will want it all. Wiint is
that out yonder? That is a dying Christian
rocked on th siirges of d-ath. Win Is thar

and worldly power com-j down oa that

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Gossip from the National Capitol. Pol
iticians Shirking and Dodging j
tho Financial Question. -
By Our Rt-gasr Orrpoadent.l
Tne silver men were 5reatlyrlited wh'n
S?nator. Vest; of Missouri, repudiated tho
'n'erview, published while he was oh his
way home from Europe; which made hint
say thai ho bad become convinced thst the
free coinage. of silvtr at the ratio of 16 to 1
by the United States alone was impractica
ble. 8-snator Vest does not spars Jauz'ja?;e
in debouncing tho manufacturer of that in
terview, nor in anuoun?ing that he has not
changed his views iu favor of free coinage
by even a hair's breadth.
If it were not such a seriou3 matter it
would really be amusing to see how th pol
iticians dodge and shirk the financial ques
tion. A stiiking instance has just be sn giv
en to those who are poaU l on the inside
workings of the democratic and republican
parties. Tho republican criticism of the
democratic management becauso of the gen
eral belief that another bond issue is impend
ing. These criticisms were very galling to
Tresldent Cleveland, and, in order to see if
he couldn't to an extent stop them, he caused
it to be intimated to certain leading republi
cans that if there was not a "let up" he
would call an extra session of Congress and
turn the wholo matter over to that body, and
let the people see what the republicans had
to offer for the relief of the treasury. Of
course I wouldn't undertake to say that the
threat frightened the Republican lea lcrs.but
it is certain that after it was ma in there was
a perceptible modification of the editorial
comments in certain papers known to be in
fluenced by tho views of thus ; leaders. It n
also certain that the republicans do not look
forward with any pleasure to the time
when Congress will have to take up the
financial question. They have no plau to
offer other than to increase the revenues of
the government by changes in tho tariff.
Aside from the tariff the flaaaeia! policy of
the Cleveland administration is precisely
that which was followed by the Harrison ad
ministration, which came so near to an issue
ofboudst'nat the plate3 from which they
were to bo printed were made at the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing.
There is no q ieetion about the art of gun
making keepf,g fu'ly abreast of that of armor
plating for ihe protection of ships. TJndis
putable evidence of that arseitlon has just
been given nt the government trial grounds,
near Wash tag con. A Ha;-,eyi:-:cd nickel-steel
plate 14 inchc3f hick, one of the best ever mae,
was fastened (o a structure iepresentiug the
side of the battleship Iowa, and used for a
target for a thirteen-iuch rifle, carrying an
armor-piercing shell weighing 1,130 pounds.
Only ono shot was fired. The shell went
through the armor just as though it had been
so much pasteboard, and buried itself deep
in the sand which wis packed deep behind
the plate. It is the opinion of naval officials
that there is no armored sb!p afloat that
could stand before this gun at cl .se range.
It costs a small fortune to fire tins gun"- Tho
shell is very expensive affair and ISOrotm L
of powder were u? ;d to make th trial shot.
CONDITION OF BUSINESS.
General Trade Throughout the Coun
try Shows a Further Improvement.
Bradstreet's report says: General trade
throughout the United States shows further
Improvement in this, the second week of
September, more particularly in manufactur
ing and commercial lines at the East and
Bouth. From the Central, Western and
Bome Western States, notably Iowa, there are
advices that purchases of seasonable goods
have been checked this week because of high
temperature throughout the region specified,
but in the South Atlantic, Gulf and South
western States, and on the raeifle coast,
general trade has been increasing in volume,
with improving mercantile collections as a
rule, and goods selling with less effort in
many instances.
Agents are asking 10 per cent, advance on
Spring samples of imported plain woolens
and 25 per cent, advance for mohairs. Sav
annah, Jacksonville. Birmingham, at the
South. report visible improvement in general
trade and as expected, Atlanta and Chat
tanooga locally.
Good reports of foreign crops, weakness
of ffour in Minnesota, and large exports o!
corn from this country, all work against a
rise in wheat, though scarcity of contract
grades may he!p a speculative advance. The
co' ton market, lifting and falling a fraction
each day alternately, shows no settled ten
lencv. big stocks balancing an undoubted
but as yet not definite decrease in yield.
The cotton mills which laid in stocks of
cotton below 6 cents are enriched by the ad
vance in material and enabled to make fre
auent advances in goods which are sus
tained. The present demand is dull, but there are
no reports of stoppage, and the -hreatened
itrike at Fall River does not come. Th
woolen manufacturer is doing well in dress
fods and hosiery, but the demand for men's
wlens is much restricted, and a few mills
nave closed.
Commercial failures for the two weeks ol

CLEVELAND PRESSED THE BUT
TON. A GREAT PARADE.
The, International Cdttori 8tte
Exposition U Novv Id Frill BlSt.
With the auspicious accompa'ninenf of mii
Itary pomp and civic dignity, leadiag an l&v
mense crowd of people, and honored by th
presence of the dignitaries of the Chareh and
representatives of foreign countries, the Cot
ton rMstes nd International Expositionwaj
formally o'peried" td tbe World en Wednesday
afternoon."
The .parade was a brilliant one; lackiiig
the tedious encumbrance of a great m'isceu
neous throng. It was composed entirely 6
military bodies and bands of music, headed
by the United States Fifth Infantry and tht
W ashington Artillery, of New Orleans, and
followed by several regiments of Georgia'
State troops.
The parade moved promptly from" the
etarting Dolnt at the center of the city, at
the intersection pf llroad and Marietta
(treets, and was aboin an libiir IU trrtferioa
the distance of three miles td the' expositiofl
grounds, reaching there about 33d o'clock;
, The exercises' at the au'ditdrium were im
posing (nd impressive: ( ft was d gratifying"
surprise that the auditorium," though crqwdr
ed, was comparatively cool and the aWustic.
properties were almost perfect, so that the
speakers could be distinctly heard in all
parts of the building. President Collier re
ceived a great ovation when he arose to
speak, as did Mrs. Joseph, Thompson', presi
dent of the Women's Board.
The speeches were all good, and the ora
tion by Judge Emory Spcer: Of, the United
Ktates Court, was a urofound utterance':
The hit of the day was by Booker T; Wish:
ington; the representative of the negro racei

Some ultra conservative people who", nate
doubted the propriety of inviting A neg'rb' td
take a prominent part in the prograriihie
were enthusiastic in their praise of his speech:
and it is generally conceded that its effect
will be a happy one.
The exposition is much nearer completion
than the public had supposed. The actual
opening revealed a series of displays nearer
completeness than any ever shown by an ejf-
position at its opening;
THE PRESSING OF THE fctTTON;
A great crowd of peopld gathered. Lti the1
Machinery Hall before the close of tne ex
ercises in the auditorium waiting td see the
majestic influence of the touch that would
come over the wires for a thousand miles to
set the machinery in motion; The big Frick
engine was in readiness, and 4 row of bat
teries rested near the engine; just at 5:54:20
the President touched the button; the
whistle sounded, the engine moved off at a
lively gait and all the machinery followed
suit. The great crowd sent up a shout that
ehoofc the roof. -AiaiostMmnitBously hun
dreds of arc lights flashed out on the plaza.
and myriads of incandescent lights gleamed
and scintillated from the cornices and domes
of the Woman's Building and the .Govern
ment Building. It was just dusk, and in the
gathering darkness the shouts of the crowds,
the flash of the lights and the noise of the
bombs of the Presidential salute emphasized
the formal opening oi the exposition.
The transportation facilities proved equal
to the occasion ana there was no confusion;
With double tracks on the Southern Railway
to Atlanta and lines of street railways, the
crowds suffered ho inconvenience. The ter
minal facilities were fully adequate, and
there was every facility for ingress and
ejrress at the grounds.
At Buzzard's Bay the President received
the following telegram before 5 o'clock from
ex-Governor Bullock, chairman on the com
mittee of arrangements:
"The committee on ceremonies are in
structed by the President and director for
and by the board of directors to express to
the President their high appreciation and
thanks for the great interest the President
has shown, both in this and on other occa
sions, and in behalf of the success of the ex
position. Under the guidance of the hand
of President Cleveland, one of the most im
portant commercial and industrial events
ever attempted in oursection has now start
ed on its career for the upbuilding or our
material interests by closer commercial re
lations with all portions of our country and
with sister republics South of the United
States. The mingling of people from all
sections, made possible by the President's
approval and aid to our efforts, will render
future ill-will between the sections impossi
ble."
At the request of the committee, the
President was asked to send his message be
fore the button was Dressed ia order that it
might be read to the vast assemblage. Mr.
Cleveland kindlv consented and wired the
following at about 5:30 o'clock:
"To the President and Board of Directors
of the Cotton States and International Expo
sition, Atlanta, Ga.t Fully appreciating the
value and importance of the exposition in
augurated to-day. Iam especially gratified
to be related to its inception and progress
and to participate in its opening ceremonies.
I sincerely congratulate those wjipse enter
prise and energy have accomplished such
splendid results, and heartily wish that the
exposition they have set on foot will be com
pletely successful in consummating all the
good results contemplated by its promoters.

are the most interesting portions of Judge
Sneer's soeech:

that man who is injensfble to these convinc

of a free people. An autocrat might rear
these magic structures and might gather this

pathless forests and deep morasses, withina

he brought from the -rast plains of Central

fertile meadows along the Don, and the
bleak promontories which project into the

Judge Speer then referred in glowing
terms to the wonderful physicial resources
of Venezuela, Costa Iuca. Salvador and

Of the educational enect oi great expo si
tionshesaid: ,
"Besides who can doubt the educative
effect of such proofs of human advancement
as this Exposition.-" A lad can waiK tnrougn
these halls and acquire knowledge of which'
Sir Isaac Newton or Sir Francis Bacon werei
ignorant. He may behold dainty products
of all lands for which Lucullus might have
sighed in vain. He may watch the noiseless
operations or engines a watt or siepnenson
could not even conceive; models or ships
which would have been deemed impossible
by Nelson, or Kodney. by Bainbridge o- De
catur; arms and munitions of war the men
tion of which Marlborough or Frederick,
Wellington or Napoleon would have pro
nounced the dreams of a madman. 'Home
keeping youths,' said Shakespeare, have
ever homelv wits.' The powers of the brain
are like the" fire in the flint. A collision with
bright steel of other minds is essential to
evoke the sacred spark. This Exposition
carefully studied will be a liberal education
tor thousands who attend it. To beattaired,
knowledge must be sought, and what joy it
imparts! What matters to the ignorant man
f he clear and lucent glories of the dawn, the
aephvrs whi. h attend it and scatter incense
to delighted pature! What the mysterious
dome of heaven Inlaid with patlnes of purfl
cold, what the rolling billows of the deep
and dark blue ocean, what the mighty
grandeur of the storm, the life-giving breeze,
the green fields, the placid intelligence of
domestic animals
" 'A primrose by a river's brim
A yellow primrose is to him,
And it is nothing more.
"But to him whose mind Is stored with
knowledge every suggestion of nature brings
its joy and fills his heart and ineffable charm.
"But the utility of this Exposition to our
State and our section is especially significant
and especially opportune. The prophecy of
the geueious Bishop Berkeleo, the friend and
associate of Oglethorpe, has been com
pleted: "'Westward the course of empire takes Hts
way, -v
The four first acts already past: j
The fifth shall close the drama with the day
Time's noblest offspring is the last.'
"I hear declare that the so-called 'race
question' does not exist. Thpre are millions
of colored people who live and who will live
among many more millions of vLite people.
Why shall anyone forge a race issue? Hon
est and decent men will accord to the negro
that just measure of favor as a member of so
ciety the laws afford him, and which his
conduct deserves, and the long processes of
tiDce will determine whether his presence is
a benefit or an injury to himself and to the
lane to which he is now as warmly attached
m his white neiehbors. No i-roces of rea
soning, no fertility of conjecture will afford
anv other solution of the eoeAlled question.
Wt f agitate it then? It? unnecessary discus
sion has withheld from the rrsources ofthese
States the fructifying hand of the industrious
white men. whether farmer or a-tisan, wno
earninff a bare support elsewhere, could, in
this genial clime, win an abundance of which
he never dreamed. It is, moreover more
cruel to the negro than it is detrimental to
the white men for the prejudice it awkens
causes the idle, ignorant and Uwhrts to be
come the suspicious enemies of the negro.
It Is, indeed, a source of alaim to those in
dustrious and respectable negroes wh se in
telligent labor and fcU-deaying habits
have supported their families, educated
their children and- added millions
annually to the taxatlp value of
these States: There is one thing since his
emancipation the South has ever guaranteed
to the negro, that is no matter what his trade
or occupation, the privilege of earning his
living. It i a common spectacle upon
'structures of every character to behold num
bers of white and negro mechanics working
side by side. I have regrHtd to l"arn that
this is not true in the Northern State . I
was informed by the present of ato-hnolo-gical
school from Philad.'.phia, n. man of
