Seats on Sate at Osbum's. TaroV Voris. It Is a ridiculous commentary on foreign missionary effort that while we are spend ing millions of dollars to christianize a few blissful heathen and make them to be for a time at heart as miserable and dishonest as civilized beings are, that right down here In the state of Mississippi In the Sunny South, where civilization is supposed to run rose scented and rampant, a poor preacher and teacher, who was trying to teach the whites not negroes the way to salvation and subtraction, was run out of Salem, tho other day, because he harbors a Miss Lunt, whom the people suspect was intending to start a school for African children. Now 1 say while we are doing something for the south ern confederacy, nsido from giving them control of the government, do more, send more teachers and preachers and more money. Yes, money Is what they want. Uuy up tho murderous, ignorant, half civil ized, half baked Idiots there who are as shy of "larnin" as they are of water. Theologians have concluded that the heathen will bo somehow provided for in the great economy of nature, and it behooves Christendom to look after thus half civilized vicious creatures, who know just enough to send them to hell, and they ought to go there unless they mend their ways. As has been truly said, they ntvd to "raise more horses, hogs and hominy and less hell," be fore they can be lifted up to the plain of true christian civilization and educational tolerance. Speaking of home missionary work, a brief notice In a recent religious paper tells of the misfortunes and needs of a church at Hig Timber. Dakota. It seems that the society had just completed a church, when on Thanksgiving day, of all others, there came a mighty wind and demolished it. The society, although cast down, were not discouraged and they set to work and recon structed it, only to have it totally demolish ed shortly after by another western zephyet Now, they seem to feel the need of help in their great calamity, but they don't need it like those poor southerners. They have the right grit. They will build again if they have to chain the building down to the solid earth, and without aid, while the poor deluded Mississippi have to be approach ed as a boy does a bumble bees' nest, to ee whether they are willing to allow educated christians to come among them, and build churches and school houses and teach them gratis, (perhaps they never will learn) the things which do most pertain to their present and everlasting wellbeing. The Dakotans have our sympathy, but if they will live and build churches where they are liable at any moment to be ground into slivers by some passing breeze, they must do it with the understanding that they will reconstruct on short notice. A well con structed and commodious "cyclone hole" recommends Itself for permanency, feasibil ity, warmth, and strength. It might also serve as a place of refuge like the temples of old, In case of danger from Indians as well as the elements. 1 don't make this sug gestion with any expectation that it will be acted on, for the people out that way are what may be called smart,, and know it all. In conclusion, 'respecting this matter, let those who will, help themselves labor evolves strength and those who resist, compel to take their medicine regardless of expense, although it seems sometimes like trying to "ram butter down a wild cat with a hot awl." Among all the nominations or names which have been pushed forward and pol ished for next fall election, 1 have heard no mention of a republican candidate for gover nor of our own beautiful state. John T. Rich I think wouldn't accept auy misappro priated funds or any of the properly bought with them and would keep whoever might be secretary from biting oil more than he could swallow of his official perquisitles, and probably enable hint to steer clear of tho penitentiary, where poor Dan Soper seems likely to land. This will doubtless prove a truo jSoper-ific to the democraic party at tho next election. That Is, it will put it to sleep and Don Dickinson will fan it. Barney, the temperance lecturer, spent several days here last week. He has been hero before and the people seemed to have no confidence in him. They seem to think that he was doing the business for what money there was in it, and why shouldn't he? Can a man travel and find himself and family on nothing but temperance talk. No indeed! He has got to have backsheesh oi sheckh's or something that will reach hl pocket and elude destitution. The temper unco question has almost worn Itself out ano nothing but prohibition answers tho purpoM and tiiat absolu'ely seems an incentive b partake of the forbidden article at least with a certain number. It Is useless to say tha prohibition does not prohibit lor it does ii certain small communities and where publi opinion is strong enough and willing to la hands on the illegal traffic, but anything like a law that woukl be prohibitory cener ally is like the Tope's bull against tho moon. From the days of Adam and the forbidden fruit, down to tho present time a law which operates to protect an individual againsl himself, is not only inoperative, but Is an In centive to Its own violation. Liko the mother who told the children on leaving homo that they must not put lieans in their ears, when sho returned found every kid had its cars planted with beans. Just the mention of it was enough. The Almighty in his w isdom did very dif ferently. Ho set evil as well as good before his children, and in my opinion if a child is properly brought up ho will seldom choose tho wrong way, but if ho is inclined to the bad. all the laws in Christendom cannot re- j strain him. Individual effort and truo re i ligious influence are the true weajnins to put ! out the saloon Hght9. If whisky was as ' free as water there would be no saloons and no Inducement to drink. Inebriety Is a dls ' case. ! I.amxsbuig, Dec. 21, lS'Jl. BUY YOUR OVERCOATS AND WINTER SUITS OP B. F, RANN & SON, i the advice of your old cri terion this week.
