PROGRESS.

Whether the world is growing better
or worse as it grows older, each will
Judge for himself One delights to believe
in progress, eternal progress. Coward,
ever onward, IS the inspiring sentiment
which cheers him and bouys him ur,
whatever may befall. We believe in
"PRoGREss and IMPROVEMENT" We
regard it law of nature. As it is in
the vegetable kingdom, with the bud
the flower, and the fruit, SO it is with
man he is g creature of progress
First there is birth. then q youth
then maturity, and after this comes
perfection in tho spiritual nature
Individuals go up or down, according
to the way they live so it is with the
people constituting the State and
Nation. Certain families " run out :
tribes and nations also pass away, and
are succeeded by those of other blooc
and other manners, customs, and ways
of life,
We make progress when we grow in
stature, ia intellect, and 10 grace
This is according to natural Law
and in keeping with the Divine
Wells.

GOOD MEN AND POLITI as.

Everybody talks about political
reform as a good thing, yet few seem to
recognize the obligations which rest
upon them, as Christians, to give their
personal aid to the work. There is just
now lull in the political atmosphere
but, after the summer solstice has
passed, the busy note of preparation
for the fall elections, which is now
going on in silent way among the
party managers, will become audible
aud it is of the utmost Importance that
those who are quietly taking their ease
should be forewarned, SO a. TO be for
armed.
The corruption and rascality which
have organized enormous lobbies in
order TO control State Legislatures and
local boards everywhere are matters oi
notoriety. After such rising of the
people as recently overturned the New
York Ring, many persons seemed to

AN INCONSISTENCY.

The resolutions passed by the Re-
publican County Convention on the
24th inst. denounce the back,bay steal
and holds its authors mp to intamy, and
yet these same resolutions endorse the
National Administration. 1t would
seem to the casual observer that what
is sause for the Congressional goose
would be sauce for the Presidential
gander. If President Grant had not
signed the bill it could not have be-
come law. As the matter stands, it
has the ugly look of a job in which the
President is compliant in consideration
of the increase of his own salary.
II was very delicate matter for the
President to sign bill increasing bis
own salary. The Constitution of the
United States, we believe, has pro-
vision preventing the increase of the
Presidential salary during the term of
the incumbent. Grants second term
coming on enabled him to evade this
provision which the dictates Of delicacy
as we'll as the laws OF the land im-
posed. We are of the number of those
| who believe that the Presidential sala.
ry should be increased on the ground
of the increased cost Of living nowa>
days. But President who respected
himself would have been at the pains
to arrange that the increaseTshould
take place during the term Of his
immediate successor. 'sf'e'
Nothing is moro certain than, that
President Grant is just as guilty as the
members of Congress who passed the
bill legahzing the steal, for if he had
vetoed it would have been gathered
to the limbo Of things lost upon earth.
