Dec. 1!.-The bill to establish the university of the mlttee, with a ateady Incrraae of pub lic tntereat.

Richardson of Ilcaton, have or. nation divided against Itself shall not(tt both bounce of congress tomorrow. ..and" I The bill In general terms provldea Vnlted Statea will again be Introduced ganlied the George Washington mem- oriai commission lor auxiliary, loougn Independent work, their purpose being How can Romanism be controlled tor an Institution of the highest type and made Innocuoua to our liberties. ' for the graduate of accredited col- ery? Bdltor The American: The writer noticed lately In a certain dally paper an account of the municipal election in Augusta, Georgia., In which it la elated that votes were "paid for open ly, tome of the voters securing as much aa $10." Now, this paper does not print the account with any to create excitement as It is in a spirit of regret the language Is couched. The editor had, the day before, on learning of Patrick Walsha election over Judge Dunbar, congratulated Mr. Walsh, and after having learned of the corrupt practice at the polls, gives forth a rebuke In plain words. What are they going to do about It, we won der? And doubtless we may just keep on wondering, for ours Is a wonderful country. And the same paper alluded to gives out the statement that Judge Seaborn Reese Is threatened with an other "hauling over the coals" for having "been drunk on the bench and oft." Some time ago, It will be re membered by the reading public, that Hon. Yancey Carter and others were the cause of an "Investigation" held In Atlanta, of charges of a similar na tore against Judge Reese and Judge Swett, only the latter worthy had "1m morality" tacked to the tall of his robe in addition. Both of these judges are said to have had their characters "vindicated," but in Judge Reese's case it seems that the "jedge" cannot arise and say "this is the same oP drunk, gen'lmen." It seems he has been do ing so several times, and just keeps on doing so, and trying to preside In court when he is unfit to be anywhere but at home, hidden out of sight, It all these things be true. The writer, however. Is not trying to put odium upon the good old state of Georgia, for what may be true in Georgia, is true of the whole coun try. The whole body of our dear Co lumbia is sick very sick and needs Doctor Reform mightily, with all the remedies he can muster, for the de voted lady is tormented with, as old Mrs. Partington would have said, "an implication of diseases." She is being badly treated by some of her children And that la enough to break down the constitution of any mother. She knows that there ought to be reform In her courts in her laws ' and that none but honest, respectable sons should be allowed therein. In Justice to the rest of the family. She knows that there are hundreds too many "young snips" admitted to the bar and there are bars and bars who have no more right to be admit ted there than a drunkard has to be admitted to the kingdom of Heaven, and Scripture says nay to that last The condition of things anent the courts of our land is enough to make the hair crawl off the back of a dead man's head with disgust If he's got hair enough to crawl In these bald' beaded days. To read of crime and the ever-increasing diabolism which marks Its onward march. Is to feel the forebodings of doom to any coun try which makes it possible for such fiends to escape swift punishment. And If poor sick Columbia only bad the nerve to draw a wet sponge over her law-slate and write new laws to fit new conditions, which have long since arisen In her family circle. would be a grand way In which to wind ud the century so near to its close. The writer truly believes that the establishment of an A. P. A. lodge in every town and city In the land would have as healthful influences upon the people generally, for it would be like patting up Robbie Bruns' advice in plain sight: "If there's a hole in ae yere coats, I rede ye tent it A chiel's among ye takln' notes, an faith he'll prent it." No scoundrel likes to be found out, and there must be a deal of scoundrel ism where the courts are so crowded with these young law-whipper snap ners, whose sole ambition Is to be " criminal lawyer." "Better be a dog and bay the moon than such a lawyer. And this is clear as clear as God ewn sunshine; any man who knowing ly takes a guilty man's case and de votes his entire time and all his en ergies to prove that man innocent. Is a scoundrel, for he is dishonest and liar, no matter how "eloquent" he may be. And such men should be deprived of all right to practice law, for if they do their utmost to clear a murderer, then they would do any vile thing so long as they believe escape from the law were possible for them. We need a reform in lawyers oh! badly urgent ly do we need it In all Columbia' diseases the great root is corruption in the courts. Draw that poisonous root out and all good things are pos so long as corrupt men rule in our courts?

One says, "Oh! America Is big enough for all who come. Look at the enormous untilled territory we have!" Certainly, but immigrants, that Is the good majority of them, never intend to leave the cities. No. no. they want a field of operations ready prepared and they cling to the towns where all avenues of labor are congested, and, having no kind of real work to do, what can be expected excepting that the criminal classes are reinforced by them? Yes, we have a free country, and a glorious country, but it needs laws commensurate with its Immensity and a code as simple as freedom itself; laws so simple that nine-tenths of the rascally pettifogging scamps within her borders would find themselves 'out of a Job." The land ot the free and the home of the brave.' That was true when it waa written, but now the American patriot has a gigantio battle to fight against, odds great enough to daunt the bravest men who ever stood under "the star spangled banner." No condition of things is a standing condition; If we do not get better and purer and stronger as a country, we get worse. Which way are we tending?

A Catechism. Q. What is "the man of sin, the son of perdition," mentionel 2 Tbess, 2:3? A. He is a person or succession of persons who head the great apostasy or in other words, the popes in sue cession. Q. When was "the man of sin re vealed? A. When the bishop of Rome waa declared "universal bishop," "the head of all churches," "Pontifex Maxlmus.' The "mystery of iniquity had been at work before and the elements of popery in operation, but no formal public act had been performed by which the bishop of Rome was made supreme, but when the title of pope was asked, given and accepted "the son of perdition" was revealed. This took place A. D. 606. when Boniface the III, ascended the papal throne. He got the title through the aid of the emperor Phocas, a cruel and blood thirsty tyrant who had made his way to the throne by assassinating his pre decessor. Boniface asked for the title of universal bishop and this profligate emperor granted it, and that system of corrupted Christianity and spirit ual tyranny properly called popery was fully developed. AH of the popes of Rome have worn this blasphemous title ever since, and it is their de termined purpose to establish this sys tem of Idolatry and tyranny over all nations. Americans, are you ready to submit to the reign of popery over the United States? Are you ready for fines, imprisonment and torture, for liberty of speech? Then, show your patriotism now.
