ANOTHEx RUFFIAN GONE.

The New York Herald, of March I'd,
has the following: Jack Mccall, the
murderer of "Wild Bill" left the
world yesterday at Yankton, Neb., in
a n quite unusual to the border
ruffian, but none the less etfecrual on
that account. 1t is lot often that a
man of his style kills another without
establishing some claim for gratitude
upon respectable society; but McCall's
victim was a man who, in spite of
many faults, had done much good
and needed service 10 society and his
country, while the murderer never
served either, except when he shutfled
off his own mortal coil. The best
that can be said of him is that, al
though he lived like a ruifian, he died
like a man. Trying to maintain his
stolidity, he nevertheless spent his
last moments with the crucifix clasped
tightly in his hands as he en-
gagged in silent prayer, and as the drop
fell there escaped from his lips tine
holy name which his associates had
never before heard him utter with due
respect. The world is better off by
having lost him. Men of his type are
worse than useless, and the most ten
der humanitarians despair OF even
changing their natures. His fate may
terrify into comparative quiet such
creatures of his kind as have hitherto
trusted that they were to be a law unto
themselves; and thus Jack Mccall in
dying may have served the world to
which while living be was an unquali-
fled curse"

GOSSIP AND ITS CUBE

The very simple reason why the
world is full of gossip is that those
who indulge in it have nothing else in
them. They must interest themselves
in something. They know nothing
but what they learn from day to day,
of, their neighbors. What these
neighbors do, what they say, what
happens to them in their social and
business affairs, what they wear-these
become the questions of supreme in
terest. The personal and social life
around them-this is the book under
constant perusal. and out of this comes
that pestiferous conversation which We
call gossip. The world is full of it,
and in a million houses, all over this
country, nothing is talked of but the
personal affairs of the neighbors. All
personal and social movements and
concerns are arraigned before the high
court of gossip, are retailed at every
tireside, are sweetened with approval
or embittered by spite, and are gath
cred up as the common stock of con
%versation by the bankrupt brains that
have nothing to busy themselves with
but tittle-tattle. The moral aspects of
gossip are bad enough. 1t is a con-
slant infraction of the golden rule; it
Is full of Observation-Disclosures. No man
or woman of sensibility likes to have
his OF her personal ncern hawked
about and talked about; and those
who engage in this work are meddlers
and busybodies who are not only do
ing damage to others - are not
only engaged in a most un-
neighborly office-but are inflict-
ing a great damage on themselves.
They SOW the seeds of anger and ami
mostly and social discord. Not one
good moral result ever comes from it.
1t is a thoroughly immoral practice,
and what is worst and most hopeless
about it is, that those who are en-
gagged in it do not see that it is immoral
and detestable. To go into a mans
house, steadily, when he is away from
home, and overhaul his papers, or into
q lady's wardrobe and examine it,
would be deemed a very dishonorable
thing; but to take up a mans or a
woman's maine and smutch it all over
with gossir-to handle the private af-
fairs of a neighbor around a hundred
firesides-why, this is nothing! 1t
makes conversation; it furnishes a
topic; it keeps the wheels OF society
going. What is the cure for gossip?
Simply, culture. There is a great deal
of gossip that has no malignity in it.
Good-natured people talk about their
neighbors because, and only because
they have nothing else to talk about.

The INAUGURAL MESSAGE. Ora
tors are turning up their noses at it.
because it wasn't spangled with the
star and stripes, and it didn't squeeze
the American Eagle; politicians look
at it cross-eyed, because it is rather too
much pronounced on the subject of
civil service reform; but it comlnends
itself to the sober good sense of the
American people, North and South, as
a plain, sensible expression of the
views of an honest and well-meaning
1t is to be hoped that inaugural
addresses ara not to lie placed on the
footing of party platforms-made to
catch flies, as Tom Shannon once ex-
pressed it-and that President Hayes
means exactly what he says and will
endeavor so far as within him lies to
carry out his expressed views. The
country is willing to give the new Ad-
ministration a hearty support, based
upon what he says. Should he speak
with a forked tongue he will find the
Presidency a hard road to travel
much worse than Jordan.-S. +. Stock

Eastern owners OF capital, as is well
known, are using every means in their
power to reduce the volume OF currency,
so that It's use will be made dear while all
of the things 1t buys will be made cheap
And they claim that they are succeeding
despite the fact that their success is d.
rectly contrary to the desires OF the
masses. One of the leading contraclionlsl
journals Of n New York declas
that during the past month

ments to prove Its assertion. Admitting
