New Wine in Old Bottles.
And no man putteth new wine into old bottles,
else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be
spilled, and the bottles shall perish.—Luke V, 37.
There are many wise sayings, or par
ables, in the scriptures like the above and
many devout Bible readers remain ignor
ant of the truths they conceal by confin
ing them to the time and place when and
where they were first uttered, in place of
applying them to all ages and everywhere.
Every season had its new vintage, and
new goat skin bottles must be provided
to hold it, for to put the new wine into
the old skins which had been used the
year before was to risk losing the wine, as
the old bottles or skins, having been
weakened by time and use, were liable to
burst, while they were perfectly safe for
keeping the old wine, in which fermenta
tion had ceased.
This simple, natural law, which was
cited in the case of the wine, applies with
like force to moral, social and economic
conditions. The ever restless human
mind is constantly evolving new condi
tions in the social economy which must
be adapted to our environments. Society
must adapt itself to the new conditions,
or suffer the consequences, as putting the
new wine into the old skin bottles was
liable to produce disastrous results.
Herein is the great trouble found in in
troducing necessary changes. The old
methods are stubbornly adhered to and
the attempt persisted in to adjust the new
condition to them. The new wine is con
stantly put into the old bottles, which
were prepared by their fathers and grand
fathers. This large class of persons argue,
these bottles were prepared by our fathers
and served their purpose well, they don’t
seem to be any worse from wear, we have
grown to love them from use and associa
tion from infancy, and why not use them
and adapt these newfangled methods to
them, or else put away the newfangled
ideas and inventions and go along in the
old way which we have become accus
tomed to and which served our fathers so
well ?
If we turn back the pages of history we
find these fathers had just such a strug
gle to establish the methods which are so
dear to their sons. The old timers fought
as relentlessly against the innovations of
their day which are now revered and
called old. They were new bottles then
prepared for the wine of the new vintage
of progressive thought. Every year brings
to our moral vineyard a new crop of
grapes, whose vintage as in the old time
must be stored in new bottles. Every
cycle of society, or generation, brings to
the surface new inventions, new systems,
new methods, which call for great changes
in the old practice and modes of conduct
ing business, that must be conformed to
or risk the consequences of putting new
wine into old bottles.
If we apply these principles and the
wisdom of the parable of the bottles and
wine, to the business of every day life we
at once see how imperative it is to pre
pare new methods or adjust our practice
to suit the changes that the ever aspiring
thought ot the human mind is bringing
forth, as the vine brings forth a new
fruitage every year. What farmer would
think of putting half a dozen men into a
grass field with scythes to cut it down by
the old painful process? On the contrary
he will put a boy on a mowing machine
to which is hitched a pair of horses, who
will accomplish with ease as much as
those half-dozen men who sweat and toil
and grim. We have but to apply this
simple illustration of mind over matter to
every branch of productive industry to
comprehend the new environments which
surround society and thrust their disturb
ing forms into our civilization. Society
must adjust itself to these new conditions
or perish. There is no such thing as going
back to the past. The old vines bear no
grapes, but the new branches bring forth
the new grapes.
As the evolution in mechanics demands
a new adjustment of labor so the evolu
tion in economics effecting the State is
calling in thunder tones for a new adjust
ment in political methods. The crafty
and unscrupulous who reap where they
sow not have taken advautage of the
changes wrought by the inventive genius
of the age to seize upon and claim these
new inventions under the divine right of
personal property, the right by which
every man claims the fruits of his own |
labor, and by virtue of that assumed right
this class is rapidly turning large masses I
of the race out to perish for the want of i
sustenance and shelter. Men and women |
are going downwards toward the beasts of
the field and their march is strewn with
frightful crimes of every grade, with want, 1
misery, suffering and death by violence, 1
suicide, famine and exposure. The new
wine has been put into old bottles and
TTT-B minXi-A-ia-I) JOTTBWAL: FR-UXA/ST, OCTOBER, 11, 1895.
the result is as announced by the carpen
ter of Nazareth who condemned the greed
of that day which was producing a crop
of crime and suffering under legal forms
and religious ceremonies, as the same are
producing to-day.
Mark how the people, the great human
mass, crowded to hear these great but
simple truths of justice, good will and
brotherhood proclaimed. So dense was
the crowd in its eagerness to hear that
the invalid, sick with the palsey, had to
be let down from the roof of the house.
Human nature has not changed a par
ticle. The multitude are as eager to hear
the truth and do justly as they were then
and crowd round to hear their teachers
as they did about Jesus to catch His
words, and the Scribes, Pharisees and
doctors of the law are as ready to cavil,
misrepresent and condemn the truth and
strive to mislead the people and turn them
against their teachers now as then. The
words of the divine preacher have come
down through the ages and are ringing in
the ears of the people to-day—“and no
man putteth new wine into old bottles,”
and the Scribes, Pharisees, hypocrits are
also among us, “whitened sepulchres filled
with dead men’s bones,” betraying the
people.
We dropped into Dr. Kirk’s hall
on Saturday evening to see the
show which was advertised by the
‘•Lowndes Republican Club of the
Sixth District.” The room was
pretty well tilled and the proceed
ings commenced, after President
Wilson rapped to order, by the
Secretary reading the minutes. The
rules and regulations to govern the
club constituted the most machin
ery we ever knew a political club
to have. They seemed to embrace
enough for a state constitution.
And then there was an Appendix,
called an “Auxiliary Club” to be
made up of youngsters iu their
teens. The election is only four
weeks oil' and the Club will have
expired by limitation before the
odicers will have become familiar
with its elaborate ritual and rules.
There were a hundred and some
odd names on the club roll, and the
reading and roll call having been
finished candidate for the Legisla
ture, Mr. Webster White, of the
Ninth district, was invited by the
Chair to give the club a speech,
which he proceeded to do in a very
clever little talk on the need of a
new assessment law and amend
ments to the school law. He ex
pressed some sound Populist doc
trine on state affairs and sat down
when he was done, which is an
excellent quality in a speaker.
Two or three other speakers held
forth but did not add anything to
what candidate White had said
better and iu a more concise man
ner. One of the speakers indulged
iu “right smart” of popy-coek over
the grand record of the Republican
party, which had been skimmed
from the goldbug papers. He
failed to tell that the grandeur was
chiefly located in Wall street and
similar places, where it is piled up.
He might have illustrated the
glories and grandeur and wonder
ful advance made iu thirty years
by the G. O. P. by the anecdote of
the Irish peasant dinner. We will
tell it here so that he cap use it iu
his next speech as an “object les
son.” In Ireland they prepare a
dinner which they call “potatoes
and point.” This meal consists of
■ a great heaping tray of potatoes
and a dish with a very little bit of
meat on it. The family eat the
potatoes and point at the bit of
meat. The immense wealth and
■ “prosperity” of this country creat
ed in the last thirty years is piled
up iu Wall street and such spots,
the three-fifths of it being owned by
31,000 persons. The laboring peo
ple, the honest industry, such as
composed the club, have the priv
ilege ot' pointing at this great “pros
perity” and wealth while they feast
on their meager fare and enjoy their
poverty. We hope the eloquent
brother will tell this anecdote and
properly apply it iu his next club
speech.
We would like to hear of can
didate White telling the next club
meeting he attends that he will do
all in his power if elected to have
that horse race appropriation of
•*SOOO to the agricultural fairs turn
ed over to the school fund to take
the place of the book fee, that
ought to he repealed, and the §250
taken out of the school fund of
Cecil county and donated to a pri
vate school in his neighborhood,
returned to the fund. If candidate
White will assert a sturdy, aggres
sive independence in the direction
of this kind of justice to the tax
payers he will win votes,
If you want to learu the best
financial policy for the producing
class of people—the great work-a
day masses, study what the bankers
advocate and choose the very op
posite. You will be right every
time.

Deserts the Party.
N. A. Dnnuing, editor of the;
Watchman, Washington, D. C.,
had himself interviewed last week
in the Baltimore Herald. He an- 1
nounces his intention to take the;
stump and speak against the
Peoples party ticket. He doesn’t
say which of the old parties he will
advise the Populists to cast their
votes for. He also proposes to pub
lish a manifesto, call a convention
after the election and organize a
party of his own. Alas poor Dun
ning thy name is failure and thy
imagionation like Cotton Mathers’
book is full of brownies and bogies.
We don’t suppose this last freak of
brother Dunning will make much
of a sensation outside or inside of
Maryland, (the Peoples party
having become familiar with his
crotchets) but it will help to cripple
the Watchman throughout the
country. That kind of business
won’t take with the Peoples party
and will meet with general con
demnation by the rank and file of
the party. Such wabbling has no
place iu the party.
The Peoples party of Maryland
refused to follow brother Dunning’s
dictation and vagaries or accept his
leadership after he had developed
his incapacity as a leader, hence
this childish exhibition of being
“interviewed” and his valiant
threats. The doughty brother will
uot be able to carry more than one
out of the party.
Brother Dunning has for a long
time been haunted by socialist
ghosts and other political hobgob
lins. They have tortured him like
a night mare. The Peoples party
was about tobeoverrnn and swallow
ed up by the ghosts which filled the
brother’s imagination. There has
never been a single ghost uear the
party it never was in the slightest
danger of being swallowed by the
monster of socialism, that like a
fabled sea serpant was always
visible in brother Dunning’s heated
imagination only. And the refer
endum that is favored by the great
mass of the plain people and is
being adopted by the Peoples party
generally in their state platforms
is one of the great ghosts which
gives brother Dunning a fit of
hysterics when ever mentioned in
his hearing.
The Populists are tired of brother
Dunning’s ghost dances and he has
gone off in a huff and promises to
exorcise these evil spirits all alone
by himself.
The two points of any import
ance iu his Herald interview are
entirely untrue. He says in the
interview, the convention was
packed; and that there were no
nominations made, but the socialist
ticket was endorsed. Both these
statements are the very opposite of
the facts. After careful inquiry
and consideration the candidates
were placed in nomination. The
convention was open and nomina
tions called for. Other names were
mentioned and placed in nomina
tion and a ballot taken on the
gubenatorial nomination. There
were but one nominee each for comp
troller and attorney general and
they were declared the choice of
the convention. Bro. Dunning was
in a “state of mind” when the
candidates were being balloted for
and was not exactly cognizant of
what was taking place. Hence his
mistakes when being interviewed.
He has kicked the western Pop
ulist out of the party—they are too
badly tainted with “socialism” and
the “referendum,” —and is going in
strong for the southern type, which
is branded “Jeffersonian Demo
cracy” down iu Dixie. Bro. Dun
ning styles that brapd “conserva
tive” Populism and it suits him to
a t.—no socialism in it, no referen
dum.
The Darlington, Wis., Journal says
editorially of a popular patent medicine:
“We know from experience that Cham
berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy is all that is claimed for it, as on
two occasions it stopped exeuciating pains
and possibly saved us from an untimely
grave. We would not rest easy over
night without it iu the house.” This
remedy undoubtedly saves more pain and
suffering than any other medicine ill the
world. Every family should keep it in
the house, for it is sure to be needed
sooner or later. For sale by E. T.
i Reynolds.
