Illinois and the New Salary Steal.

The hill passed by the U. S, House of
Representatives in relation to the salary
question is not a return to the old law as
the people demand but is a new steal, the
details of which have already been shown
up in this paper. 1t fixes the salary at So
900 year, permits persons to keep all
the grab they have drawn, gives an extra
allowance for postage, etc., and is really
very little saving over the original steal.

to the scene of the catastrophe with Ian

which were taken to the undertakers. One
arm was missing, and that was found this

Our Highways.

If il be true that the time for the ''mend-
ing of our ways Gin moral scnse) is ever
present and the duty imperative upon us,
it is equally true that Especial attention
should be given, at least at two seasons Of
the year, to the repairing of our highways.
and the time for one of the periodical reno
vations is now upon u.s.
Like the cares of thrifty housewife,
whose days of busting and cleaning are
never ended, but who gives full range to
the luxury of special renovation and Il
general ''overhauling of things" in the
Spring and Fall, SO it devolves upon those
who have the charge of the highways,
(while they should never relax their vigil
lance) TO give especial care at this season of
the year. Our lawmakers had this need
in view when they enacted that, sat least
three-fourths of the highway tax in any
town payable in labor shall be collected
and laid out between the first day of MAY
and the first day of July, and the remain
der between the first day of September and
the first day of November in each year,
&c. The wisdom of this enactment will
readily occur to every one. In the Spring
the roads, damaged by the frosts of winter
and the flooding waters of Spring, should
be repaired, not only for use but to protect
| them from further damage from the spite.

THE GRIEF JUSTICE.

ity of life, with abilities of the highest
order; with moral character unblemishcd,
and whose legal attainmcnts are beyond
question should seek or receive the APP
pointment. And more than this, good
judges in part are born, not made. There
is such thing as judicial cast of mind ;
and the persons who possess it in high
order are rs rare as great commanders.
Hence if the appointment is to be made in
the best interest of the country, the circle
out of which the selection is to come, is an
extremely small one. And it hardly need

INTENIPERANCE.

The liquor question is exciting attention
everywhere. The Governor of New York
has just signed two laws providing that
any person injured by anothers intoxica-
ton, may have right of action against the
persons from whom he obtained the liquor.
The selling of liquor by a tenant instantly
voids his lease. If the landlord knowingly
rents the premises for such a purpose he be-
comes liable equally with his tenant to pay
damages.
The effect of such laws is not clear. The
Malone Palladium says in the larger towns
of Vermont, Notwithstanding her prohibit
tory law, liquor can be procured as easily
as in New York, and instances st. Adams,
Burlington and Rutland as selling it open
ly. The editor further says, with eau
tious forbearance to mention the particular
town SO that he cannot be confronted with
the witness, that ''a dealer in one of those
place, once remarked to us, that, no matter
what the law was, his sales averaged about
the same" And the Malone editor thinks
this is true of Massachusetts, and New
York But he evidently has his prejudices.
In the meantime, let us advise all the I'M,

For the GLoBE.l
" Yea, yea; Nay, nay /:

For whatsoever is more than this cOmeth
of evil" Better expressed; let your yea
be yea, and let your nay be nay. Between
truth and speech there should he an eternal
compact When this compact is broken
there is discord-and ruin. By lie the
subtitle tempter beguiled the mother of us
all.
Falsehood is the Indispensable instrument
of moral evil, the hiding place of sin and
crime. Truth is the basis of all moral and
social relations.
Even in tragedy only self-sacrifcing be-
neyoence is ever pittcd against the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
Nothing becomes a man like integrity.
These assertions need no proof The
human conscience has not yet become so
dcflcd that we must argue for the truth,
but it has become so blind that we do not
see how false we are; that deceit is becom-
ing habitual and that answering nteg-
rity has few cxemplars.
Dove know that we are teaching deceit
and duplicty according to the most ap-
proved methodist The lessons are given
early at the mothers breast and before the
little tongue can speak a lie, and they are
repeated through all the years of plastic
childhood. Parents threaten and do not
execute promise and do not perform say
| there is none when there is, cannot when
they can dare not trust the truth with
children. And as the child comes to years
of discretion, though well drilled in the
school of deceit, this soul is shocked
when he learns the truth, that with one
another men do not mean what they say.
Besides, careless habits of stating things
are formed and allowed few learn TO be
truthfully accurate to tell what they saw
or heard or felt, and not what they imagin-
ed or heard others say. When the youth
enters society he is called upon at once to
put in practice his well learned art, by the
shams and false standards Deceit is the
best policy; 1t wins integrity is at dis
COUNT the worlds adage. What is q
mans word to-day? Whom can we trust
We cannot rely upon the word of TIT
greatest and best, although it may be true
for truth is the exception. The courts OF
law must sift and analyze every statement
and then guess at the truth.
