The Radical Standard.

1t would be a task more curious than
profitable. to trace the sinuous course
of our Radical brethren, for the pGr.
pose ofascertaining precisely their NO.
tious about free government and tho
conditions under which the investment
Of franchise becomes conducive to tho
general veal. An inquiry into Their
standard for eligibility to the right OF
suffrage, would lead us 10 some queer
conclusions
The laws of'65 and go excluding
cx rebel soldiers from the polls, and
admitting the turn-coats and stayat-
omc's--otier premium to hypocrisy
and cowardicc, The man devoid Of
principle, and the man unwilling to
light for principle, can have voice in
public affairs, while the man whose con-
viction forced him into the ranks Of
war, and sustained him mid numberess
privations for five bitter years, has
thereby pro, cd his utter unlitness to
WELD the ballot power, These ,aws
are obviously based upon standard
OF pusillanmity and unscrupulousness.
At tlcast, these moral attributes guaran.

Our Legislature, however, arc be-

Charity.

A deed is to be judged Of, always by
the spirit that prompts it. Killing of a
fellow mortal, is under some circum-
stances murder; in other cases it is ab,
solutcly necessary for ones own safety
and protection, and therefore justifa-
bic. The good never boast of what
they do in the way ofclurity; they are
not vain glorious, nor do they stand at
street corners to declare themselves bet
ter than their ncighbors. Some have
queer notions Of what is the right way
Of doing good, and by their manner do
away with all sense Of gratitude or fa.
vor The pcoplc ofthe rich city of Now
York, have according to recent tcle.
grams inauguratcd grand system Of
relief for the unfortunate suffering poor
Of the South. II was announced that
no party feeling Was 70 be entertained,
but thata broad national feeling Of char,
ity. and good will WAS to be the basis
upon which it would work. As such,
it would have been hailed throughout
the world as movement likely to re-
suit in great good, and in a better un-
derstanding of the feelings of the peo-
pie of different portions of the Union.
1t looked really as if the spirit of kind
ness had not entirely forsaken some of
those who have been regarded as our
enemies, when Henry Ward BeecheT
appeared as one of the speakers and
principal advocates of the great relief
association Of New York. He howev-
er, throws his charities at the poor peo-
pie of this.section ofthe Union, as some
sleek footman would empty the basket
from his masters table into the lap Of a
wrctched heggar.
Here is sample of his "charity ad-
dress" at the Cooper Institute in New
York last Friday night:
"Thc bread they 1.-THE Southern Wild
ows and orphans would not give our
poor boys in prison, their own lips
crave for. Give them the loaf-give
the loaf. The raiment they took from
our boys, leaving them in the chilly
winter to shake and die Of cold, as long
as your looms are fruitful, spin off the
yards and send tho clothes for their
shivering limbs" ...
ANY bread says the Richmond Times,
that might be given upon such malig.
nant and cold blooded harangues as the
above would choke to death the hun.
gricst widow or orphan in all the land.
If bread was refused to Northern pris-
oners, Southern people, too, shared the
want with them. Southern soldiers
have goned days at time without crust
and it is too late to taunt this people
for treating Federal prisoners in the
same way that our people fared Mr..
Forney and Mr.. Beecher, can stand to
gether now; they are equally malig.
nant. The one attempted to stir up a
mob to prevent the meeting of the Phil.
adelphia Convention the other attempts
to rival the celebrated address of Mark
Anthony who under the plea OF wishing
to bury the dead body of Caesar, at.
tempted to stir up the Roman people to
deeds of violence. Talk no more OF
charity, Mr.. Becchcr. The man who
could on such an occasionas the one on
which he uttered the words quoted
above, can lay no claim to such chris
tian quality.

pie. .. -...--a-~
In the sense the term ''loyal repre-
scntatiyes" is used by the Republican
party, it implies terms of admission to
Congress which spirited and free pco.
pie will never submit to, even should
it deprive them permanently Of the
privilege. lfthc North is to say 'yhoss
the South shall send to Congress, the
very spirit and essence Of representa-.
ton is destroyed. The men sent will
no longer represent the Southern peo.
pie, but the Northern people Tho
constitutional privilege is worth moth
ing when it comes with restrictions Of
named in that instrument We should
no longer be a free people. Instead OF
being sovereign States, we shall be de
pendent Provinces, acting our part in
the Government not in accordance with
our own independent conviction, but
in conformity to. the dictation of q
Northern majority, who would, in point
OF fact, become our masters. Will the
Southern people submit to such terms

No: so long as the North insists UP
on standing at our ballot boxes ant
saying we Shall vote for this man OF
shall not vote for that, there is no free
dom of elections, and we hope the
South will never disgrace herself by en-
agaging in any such disgusting mocller!
Of Republican institutions. Ii We sen,
Representatives to CongIess at all, i

E~ IT IS A REMARKABLE FACT
that the mortality experienced
on large policies Of life assurance
is less than on small oues. The
average amount of each policy
issued by the Equitable Life As
surance Society in 1866. was
S4,15O, while the percentage OF
losses was but 1920. An aver
age policy of the Mutual Life for
the same period was $3,5o4;
percentage Of loss 1894. Wash
ington, 81, 400; loss 1914. Ger
mania, 81, 500; loss 1926. Uni
ted States, S2,393; loss 1927
All these are cash companies /;
and the rates of some sixteen
note companies exhibit a similar
commentary, showing greater
mortality on small than on large
policies. The cause is attributed
to the fact that the wealthier
classes, who are able to assure
for the largest amounts, enjoy
those constant comforts and sani-
tary privileges, and lead that
regular course Of life which 50
mat erially promotes longevity
The Equitable Life Assurance
Society issues policies on q single
life up to the amount Of $4,000.
