SUDDEN CONVEKSIONS.
Theologians will be surprised to
hear from so good a Christian :t- Ma
jor Chas W. Campbell that tlu re was
uothiug miraculous in the conversion
of Bt. Paul.
Notwithutaudiug the proverbial
meekness of the first Christian mar
tyr, and although his “countenance
shone like that of an angel," Paul
helped to atone him unto death. At
the time of his conversion he uas on
hk way to Damascus to further perse
cute the Christians. He had ii in the
neck for them t>ad. Was Paul living
in our day and had not yet bwu con
verted, nothing would delight him
more than to l>e the leader in a lynch
ing bee. Not content with simply
displaying his hatred to the gospel as
preached in Judea, he applied for and
obtained special authority from the
high priest “to go to Damascus and
bring back with niui bound any Chris
tians whom he might tind in that
city.” He was ou bis way thither
when his conversion took place. The
vision that he saw was so dazzling
that it blinded him, yet it was invisi
ble to his comrades, and the voice
that he heard sounded to him like
heavy thunder, though it was not
heard by those who were with him.
Paul was felled to the earth and aro-e
anew man, and yet Major Campbell
tells us there was nothing remarkable
nor miraculous about it —it was just a
common, ordinary, every-day event.
He says: “Paul was wise enough
when the scales fell from his eyes to
see the utter folly am! wickedness of
his course.” The scales suddenly fall
ing from his eyes is the remarkable
part of the story. That is what
makes it miraculous. Had the scales
■till blinded his vision bis conversion
would never have occurred and his
name would, have no place in history
But if the theologian will las sur
prised to be told that Paul's conver
sion was not miraculous, lit will lie
still more surprised to be informed
that Jacob’s was. Indeed, he will be
surprised to hear this word applied to
Jacob. He was born in one faith,
lived in one faith and died in one
faith. All his life he was true to the
faith of his fathers. If he, at any
time, renounced his religion, or
•hanged his creed, it is not so recorded
Xu any of the books that we have read.
Nor is it a fact that lie was a covetous
man, a robber and thief. A man is
not very covetous who labors fourteen
years for a wife. A man would not be
called covetous who would do this in
these days. The Major has gotten all
mixed up in history and theology and
has l>een reading some other fellow’s
character for Jacob’s. Jacob pur
chased his birthright, he didn’t steal
it. He received his father’s blessing
which was intended for Esau, it is
true, but he did so in obedience to his
mother's wish and at her express
command. After his father's death
he went into a farcountry, he tramped
for six hundred miles on foot, taking
not even as much as ox or an ass with
him. Does that look like covetuous
ness? He permitted Esau to enjoy
the patrimouy for full twenty years,
which was his by right of purchase, as
well as by virtue of his father’s bless
ing, which he refused to revoke after
discovering the deception that had
been practiced upon him. He fell in
love with his cousin, Rachel, at first
sight, and to have her for a wife he
had to give her father seven years of
labor, all he had to give, and at the
end of the seven years of sweat and
toil he claimed the hand of his be
loved. There were no incandescent
lights iu those times and when he
awoke the next morning after the
nuptual night and found that Leah,
whom he hated, instead of Rachel,
whom he loved, had been imposed
upon him, he didn’t swear and turn
red in the face, but patiently entered
into another seven years’ coutract for
the hand of Rachel. Had Jacob been
living in these times does Major
Campbell believe that he would so
quietly have submitted to so barefaced
an imposition? No, iudeed! Not only
this, but La bon refused to give him
the number of cattle he agreed to, af
ter his fourteen years of labor had
ended and he had entered into an
other contract to labor still another
seven years for his crafty and cunning
father-in-law. And we see Jacob
meekly submitting to these injustices.
And after meetiug Esau after a sep
aration of twenty years, what is the
picture given us? The two brothers
weeping on each other’s necks. Jacob,
not Esau, had been wronged. And so
throughout his long and eveutful ca
reer Jacob lived agreeable to God's
purposes and many divine blessings
were bestowed upon him. He was
loved of God and God favored and
prospered him iu many ways.
Whether Constantine saw a < mss in
* the heavens with the words ernbla
aoned upon it: “By this sign con
quer,” or Mahomet saw a sword sus
pended there, seem absurd to Chris
tians, yet a large part of the human
race believe the story, at least so far as
it refers to Mahomet.
But if Major Campbell can see noth
ing miraculous in the conversion of
St. Paul it is not to be expected that
. h would see anything specially in-
consistent in Mr. Carlisle’s attitude
on the silver question.
In 1878, then a representative from
Kentucky, and fresh from the great
body of the people, Mr. Carlisle was
for silver, but iu 1883, when a mem
ber of the president’s cabinet, be for
got bis utterance of 1878 an 1 was
against silver and only iu favor of
gold. That we may do him no injus
tice we put his utterances in parallel
columns:

Aud yet Major Campbell tells us he
sees much to commend iu the consis
tency of Mr. Carlisle's statement*.
If Mr. Carlisle had said iu 1878 that
black was black, and in 1883 that
black was white, his statements could
not be more contradictory, yet to Mnj.
Campbell the statements would be en
tirely reconcilable, consistent aud
democratic, for after ail the one is
only the absence, and the other the
concentration of colors.
To the pure all things are pure, and
to good democrats, like Major Camp
bell, all things that proeeedeth out of
the mouths of democrats in high pla
ces, are democratic, whether they be
of silver, or gold, or frankincense, or
myrrh. *.
HON. GEO- W. WILSON.
Unless he has other grounds thau
those he alleges, and we don’t see how
he can have, we think that Senator
Call is wrong in opposing the con
firmation of Hon. George VV. Wilson
for collector of internal revenue for
the district of Florida. Mr. Wilson is
not a corpora tion ist, but ou the con
trary his sympathies aud interests lie
in an entirely opposite direction. He
was born on a farm, reared on a farm
and continues to this day to live on a
farm. All his life he has never been
anything else, consequently his sym
pcahies must lie with the farmers. It
is natural that they should. He has
not a dollar invested in any bank or
corporation of any kind ou the face of
the earth, aud his entire dependence
comes from what he can make from
the soil. To use a biblical phrase, it
is of the earth, earthy. This year he
shipped over ten thousand boxes of
oranges, aud under ordinary circum
stances they should have netted him
between fifteeu and twenty thousand
dollars, but he informs us that his re
turns scarcely paid the expenses of
cultivation and shipping. The rail
roads made far more out of his crop
than he has made, consequently he is
not iu love with theih to hurt.
Besides Mr. Wilson has long been a
pack horse for the democratic party.
For years and years he has made sac
rifices of his time aud means for the
guceess of that party. All that h*
has had has been generously placed at
the disposal of it and his liberality ever
since he has reached his majority has
been'the wonder of his friends. Be
sides giving freely of his means he
has been a most active worker in tbe
party ranks. He was secretary aud
afterwards chairman of the Second
Congressional District Committee,
and iu the last campaign was secre
tary of the state executive committee,
and in all these positions exhibited a
high order of executive ability.
So it is no wonder now that his ap
plication for the office of colleeter of
internal revenue should be endorsed
by democrats all over Florida regard
less of factions, and we believe the
harmony of the party iu this state
will be conserved by the withdrawal
of all optposition to his confirmation
ami wc hops? that this will be done.
An American half dollar of the is
sue of 1896 is worth sixty times its
original value to collectors.

A MISTAKEN IDEA.
The following item is published in
the Citizen aud other anti-Cull organs,
the evident purpose of which is to
show that Senator Call is not hones i
or consistent in his opposition to cor
porate influence because he rides on
railroad passes and uses telegraphic
franks. The following is the item aud
it is taken from the West Florida Jour
nal :
“Senator fail does not appeur to be
very consistent iu his dislike of cor
porations. In answer to a telegram
from influential friends here request
ing him to withdraw his opposition
to the continuation of Hon. George
W. Wilson, he replies: “Democrats
must tight corporate bodies * * a
their sympathizers and abettors,” and
this answer was sent deadhead under
v frauk given by one o f the largest
-■orporate bodies iu the United States.’’
Because Senator Call is trying to
beat back the growing influence of
corporate power in controlling and
dominating legislation,if hesbould re
fuse to ride on railroads altogether,
aud solitary and alone continue to
travel bv private conveyance, would
it make his course the more consis
tent? Not at all. lie would simply lie
pniiuted out as a fossil and a fool.
Congressman Tom Johnson is a
manufacturer of steel rails, and not
withstanding which is an out-and-out
free trader and has endeavored by an
amendment to the Wilson bill, pre
pared and offered by himself, to have
steel rails put on the free list, aud has
used all his influence iu congress sud
out of congress iu that direction, but
has failed to have it done; now,
would he not tie foolish to deprive
himself of the pecuniary advantages
'he policy of protection gives him as
long as this policy is in force, simply
tiecause his private convictions tell
him the law is wrong?
So Mr. Henry George believes that
private ownership in land is wrong
aud is doing all he can to have his
single isx adopted: but, in the mean
while, should he go houseless aud
homeless for the fear of being de
nounced as inconsistent and dishon
est?
The giving of railroad iiasees aud
telegraphic franks >* a courtesy ex
tended to all senators aud members of
congress, and until it is prohibited by
legislation, it is neither inconsistent
uor dishonest iu Mr. Call to accept
them. If he refused to do so, it would
be charged that he did so for deuio
gogic purposes.
If he should permit these passes aud
franks, however, to influence him in
his conduct; if, in accepting them
they should seal his mouth, then the
people would be justified in crying
aloud against him as an unfaithful
and unjust servant; but as long as
these passes aud franks do not have
the effect of sealing his mouth against
these abuses and he continues to
point out the great peril the alarming
growth of the corporate influence in
the United Slates is getting to lie,
the people will do right in con
tinuing to applaud his conduct and in
keeping him where he is.
Innocence.
That was a magnanimous spirit
which Hon. John H. McKinne dis
played in withdrawing from the con
test for surveyor-general in the inter
est of party harmony, bo says the
Jacksonville Citizen. This office at
best is only a sinecure, an office very
nearly related to that of inspector of
immigration, and how Mr. McKin
ne’s remaining a candidate for it
could even remotely imperil party
harmony the Citizen fails to tell us
and we suppose we shall never know.
But we do know- that our reader* wiil
be disposed to smile at the wonderful
simplicity the editor displays in his
closing remarks about Mr. McKmne’s
magnanimity. The editor says:
“ Wheu Democrats can bring them
selves to an observance of such a
spirit as this, the party haimony is
is assued, and success is certain.”
The Citizen talks like there are
two parties in Florida of almost
equal strength aud that the demo
cratic party is in gieat peril. Doe*
the Citizen know where it is at?

If we should open our mints to the
free coinage of silver aud gold upon
the ratio of 18 to 1, an ounce of silver
would be worth one dollar and twen
ty-nine cents in terms of gold. Sil
ver-using countries now purchase the
productsof our manufacturing indus
tries iu English markets and pay for
them with silver at seventy cents an
ounce. If we should give them oue
dollar and twenty-nine cents per
ounce for their silver and pay them
with the products of our industries
they would leave England aud trade ;
directly with us. We would thus get j
the trade of all silver-using countries, !
including ludia and China. It is said j
that three-fourths of the commerce of
England is with silver-using coun
tries, aud rather thau permanently
lose this trade Euglaud and western
Europe will give them the sam price

GOODNESS, GRACIOUS.
The Peuaacola News says that the
senate of the United States, because of
its rejection of Mr. Hornblower to l>e
oue of the associate justices of the su
preme court, is as much in rebellion
aguinst the constituted authorities of
the United States as was th>* South
when it tired ou Fort Sumter. The
editor says this, too, iu alt serious
ness. He then hits Senator Call iu
the neck for having the courage and
iudependeuce tu vote ou this confirm
ation according to the dictates of his
own conscience. The editor of ihe
News makes the mit'ake now preva
lent among a good many democrats of
his kind iu believing that Grover
Cleveland is the president, the cou
gres* tlie supreme court and the whole
democratic party. But to clothe the
president with absolute aud dictato
rial powers the constitution must be
changed aud that has not yet been
done. The people are not quite ripe
for such a step. Iu its haste andzevl to
make a point the News reads the con
stitution upside down. That instru
ment does not make it obligatory upon
the seuate to confirm every nomina
tion the president may make. If it
did it would he the sheerest folly to
send the names to the senate fur con
firmation aud would he wasting the
valuable time of that body for no pos
sible good. The constitution say*
that the president shall make th.se
appointment* “by the advice aud
with the consent ot the senate." This
does not confer dictatorial powers on
the president. “By the advice.”
Now. that means that before making
a nomination the president must ad
vise with the seuate. If it doesn't
mean that it doesn’t mean anything,
and if the president makes au impor
tant nomination without consulting
with the senate, he and not the sen
ate is in rebellion against the consti
tution of the United tstates. After
advising with the seuate and then
making a immina iou, if, in the mean
time, anything transpires to show
that the nomination is an improper
one, it is then the duty of the senate
not to consent to It.
Wc want our readers to hold their
breaths for just a moment more. Bor
exercising the authority vested iu
him by the constitution of his coun
try aud performing his duty as he sees
it, the News says that Senator Call is
iu rebellion against his party as well
' a a iraitor to his people.
| Hasn’t the News editor go: it bad.
j Our advice to him is to put uu ice cold
sponge on his head and devote a few
leisure minute* to the perusal of the
constitution of the United States, It
may do him good.
