Evcrjr inslitu tiuii inuet have to do with politic-, if it wouid benefit the whole peo ple. For throua;!! politic are laws inatJo, through politics the country muet ko forward or brtckward. H cdiicmion does not exprefs itself in the vote ot the pooplo, its bcneli's will bo only personal, and intermit tent at tint ; it relim does not ex press itself in votes, the good of religion will not ho realized by the people as a wholo Politics have been given a bud name by profes sional noliticiai s, othce-syekers, tricksters and trad.rs. IJut the poliiics of citizoiishipareas worthy of ench citizen as thnt citizen makes them. If other men in polities are haw, that is no reason why one who knows it should give it up, mm ail who voto should lower their stimu ard. One great trouble with our eomitrv now is that the In-st of i's citizens have given up hope of put ity in polities. It is no lets than de sertion of principhs and country. Another irreat evil is that good men are co ..ent to let bane leaders con trol them, because there aro no others they know. Good men can duinaud irood leaders, or lead tiiem- selves, or stand alone before bending the kneo to demagogues. Evrry man may vote as he pleases, lie never cowers to force. He does not have to ehooso between bail and worse. He can choose the best whenever he niiihters the mural courage to do so. That is why we say no man is better limn the ticket ho votis for. Voting is not a party responsibiliiy, but an individual responsibility. A Chiistun man voting fur dishonest men, whom ho knows to be dis honest, compromises his own char acter, even if they am leader or candidati s of a pai ty. A Christian man subjecting his conscience to any leader or set ot lenders, does himself harm. Tin-re liavo beeu many accusations against us as to our politics. We have been accused of belonging lo foiirdiilerent paities. We belong to none. We are a Christian. We choose the best men and t lie best principles from a Chribtiau point of view. Chrii-tian principles ie ti e hope of the world, here and hereafter. Jf they are good for men. they aro gnoJ for government. No Christian ean afford to desert them for a.iy party or any candidate. When Christians realize this, our country will be the happiest on earth. l'iblical Ke - colder. Blew Open a Safe.

The ofliee is located between the C. F. fe Y. V. depot and the inter section of (iorrell, Fayetteville and Asheborostreets,in a rather secluded spot. Km ranee was effected by pnzingopen the front door of the room where the safe is located. Then the thief went at it right, drilling a hole not large enough to admr mi ordinary lead pencil in the top of the sate, about six inches f i oiii the front. The safe is about three and a half feet high and two feet square. Having made a hole the thief next placed his fuse on tho corner of the tafe some ten inches away from the hole and leading up to it. The trail of the fuse can be plainly seen by a mark or line where it burned up and caused the explosion. 1 he door was blown wide open a:id the roguo helped himself to i'.fl in cold cauh The explosive us d was evidently not powder, for this would have left some smell be hind in the small room.

Monroe Enquirer. The Sultan Must Act. The rignitieant statement made on Tucsd ty in the French chamber of deputi-.s by M. Hanotaux, Minis'ei of foieigu affairs, concerning the attitude of the powets toward the Armc iian question will afford much gratification to all those who have read with growing indignation the stories of the cruellies prat iced by the inhuman Turk npon the de fenseless Chiistians in the Ottoman Empire. In eub.-tanco M. Hanotaux said that the powers had practically r ach d an sgreeme-nt to demand from the sultan the institution ot such governmental reforms as will guarantee to his subjects, be they Mussulmans or Christians, safety of life and property, together with such other privileges as they may reasonably Ikj permitted to enjoy. It will be demanded ot him to stop violent repressions, to open the pi irons and to establish order, with out wiiieli the country cannot exist. This ii a delieate way of intimat ing that unlets he complies with the cK-mands the alternative o! partition will be inevitably resorted to.

THE GENERAL ADMITS HIS ADMIRATION FOR THE BRUTAL SPANISH. A New York dispatch of hi t Thursday says: Consul Goneral Ia-o arrived in this city today from Havana on the steamer Vigilant'!. The Vigihncia arrived at her dock at 9 o'clock a. in. General Leo was met at the pier by a mini her of Cubans and Spaniards, some of whom he had succeeded in liber ating from Morro castle, where they had been Incarcerated by Ueiierai Wrcylcr as political prisoners. When General Ieo was asked to talk about the situation iu Cuba, ail Jrotsing a gronp of reporter, he said: ".Now, hots, I understand your position and I think you un derstand mine. You know it would bo impolitic for mo fo say anything aiMiut l. uium si! -ii re even u-ide from rny official position." The general looked rx'reuioly well, and was In exceptionally good spirits. 1 1 o was asked what was his mission hero at this time and lie said: "Oh, I only came up to see how the election went." Asked what he thought of it, ho said: "Paz a los innertos," which he translated "let th dead rest" or "oeaco to the dead." When ssked rerioiialy what Ins mirsion hero was, bo refused to tell, but be said he would go to Washington by the very first train and as soon ss he had called upon President Cleveland ho would goto Virginia and visit his family. He said he would return to Havana in three or four weeks and would bo glad when tho time arrived for his depaiture, for he did net relish the dca of a winter here when ho could enjoy it in a pleaianter place. Among those who met General Leo ai tho dock wore Lorenzo P.e tancourt, S. T. Toloii, F. Ztldo, the agent of August lielinont & Co.'s banking house in Havana; liOiiis Place, a wealthy Cuban planter, and Miguel Mcndoza.

Ho expects to leave here for his home iu Virginia Sat urday. A Fortune for Sobriety. As a reward for five consecutive years of total abstinence from in toxicants George Croktr, ot San rrancisco, f'Hf been awarded $500, 000. April 22, 1SS7, Charles Croker, th- California millionaire, left rail road bonds, now amounting to 500,000, in trust tor George Croker, tlie third son, with the pro vision that if at any time within fifteen years after the death of his father George had not taken at y i itoxica'ing liquor for a period of five yeae all the truc-t proper' wis to go to him. If George did not survive or abstain from liquor the property was to be divided between the children of the trustees. George Croker did not overcome his bibulous tendenciis until 1891. J:: September of that year he resol v ed to win the 1500,000 trust. That he succeeded was evidenced oa Sep tember 22, when he made applica tion for the property, claiming that he had carried ont the terms of the trust by abstaining from intoxicants from September 22, 1891, to Sep tember 22, 1S96. The court has just granted the order for the trus tees' disposal. Above a Storm Cloud. An American aeronaut thus de scribes a storm ss seen from a bal loon: The storm viewed from above the clouds has the appearance ot ebullition. The upier surface of the cloud is bulged upward and outward, and has the resemblance ot a vast sea of boiling, upheaving snow. Immediately above the storm cloud the air is not so cold as it is iu the clearer atmosphere above or iu the cloud itself, f he falling of the rain can be distinctly heard, making a noise like a waterfall over a precipice. The thunder heard above a storm cloud is not loud, and the flashes of lightning appear iike streaks of intensely white light on the surface of the gray-colored vapor.

The following is a complete list oi tho successive commanders: Major General George Washing ton, June 15, 177.r, to Dec. 23, Major General Hei ry Knox, Dec. 23, 1783, to Jnno 20, 1784.

Miles succeeded General Schofield as com mander of the army, and he does not retire from active service until tVug 8, 1903. In all probability the rank of lieutenant general will be given to Major General Miles, as tho matter is talked of already, in spite of the fact that he has been at the head of the army but a lew months. Cincinnati Lnquircr. No Danger in Bicycling. In spite of all that has been writ ten on the subject and the firm popular belief in the same, it ap pears from the actual facts in the case that bicycling is not nearly as dangerous as carriage riding, though much more largely indulged in, and n fact is no more dangerous than simply walking down stairs. L ndue prominence i- given to every bicycle accident, thus cansing them to appear more numerous than they reully are. An anal vsis of 2000 ac cident policies on which benefits were paid, sows that 531 persons were injured by falls on pavements, 243 by carriages or wagons, 75 by horse lutes or kicks and 47 from horseback riding, 70 wero hurt in bicycle accidents, 117 were cut with edged tools or glass, 96 were hurt by having weights Inll on them and 2 were hurt by falling downstairs. Catarrh Means Danger, Recause if unchecked it may lead directly to consumption. Catarrh is caused by impure blotal. This fact is folly established. Therefore, it is useless to try to cure catarrh li V outward appheat ions or inhalants. The true way to cure catarrh is to pnri'y the blood. Hood's Sarsa parilla, the gnat blood purifier, cures catarrh by its power to drive out all impurities from the blood. Thousands of people testify that they have been perfectly and per manently cured of catarrh by Hood's Sarsaparilla. The Winston Sentinel says that Dr. Randolph M.

Latest U. S. Gov't Report msoiMmEv PUKE Prsyermeeting in a Camp Lot. It is something unusual to hold a prayermeeting in a camp lot, but one was held in SLute's camp lot here last Thursday night. There was a large number ot campers in the lot and ono of them at bed time announced that it was his custom, when at homo, to have family prayer before retiring, and if there was no objection he would read a chapter and pray with them. There being no objection tho gentleman read and prayed and afterwards two other gentlemen announced that tbey were accustomed to have family prayers and they were called on to pray, which they did. A strange coincident was that the Rible from which the gentleman read was taken from a grip which some thief hi.d stolen from one of the wagons mid was $o closely pursued that lie had to drop his booty to make his escape.
