CONSISTENCY.

Various persons are at the trouble of prov
ing from the records that Republican ma
iorities have from time to time been guilty
of the abuse of fastening miscellaneous legis-
lation to appropriation bills, and that some
of the same Congressmen who are now pro-
testing against the practice have themselves
been concerned in 1t. We do not know that
anybody has doubted this melancholy truth.
But the argument that because both parties
have done wrong therefore neither can prop
erly demand reform, hardly seems to be
conclusive. On the contrary, the general prev
alence of the evil is one of the best possible
reasons for insisting upon an immediate
change. 1t is not worth while to postpone
improvements until some immaculate party
arises to undertake them.
One of the great obstacles to any specific inn
provement in political affairs is the average poll
tician's absurd fear of stultifying his record"
But man who is truly ambitious 10 serve his
country will not perpetually look back to see
if he has not done something in past years
which can be quoted against him If he pro-
poses change. The sort of consistency which
binds one to follow perpetually his own bad
examples is not jewel.
So much for the general question of faSten-
ing miscellaneous legislation on appropriation
bills. Now let lis add, that the real point is
not whether a party has or has not resorted to
this easy method of carrying Objectionable
legislation through, but has any party before in
the history of tho country boldly announced
its purpose at all hazards To force the Ex-
eutive to surrender his constitutional func-
ton b. declaring that, if he does not they
will starve him out Has any party ever gone
SO far as to refuse to provide for legiti-
mate expenses, adjourn, and then, when
called together, threaten second refusal,
with all that that implies, unless the Execu-
tive surrenders Has any great party here
tOfore deliberately declared It's purpose to put
out all the ight-houses along the coast,
to stop paying the judges, 10 with
hold their pay from the President
and his Cabinet, unless the Executive duty
u veto obnoxious general legislation Is aban-
doned Has this revolutionary programme
been 90 common IN this country that the pes
simists can fairly declare that both parties
are equally guilty concerning it Out upon
such impudent dishonesty

who are now on trial in Charleston. They have
been raising money all the State ostensibly TO

At the New-England Methodist Conference held
last week in Worcester, Mass. the Rev. DR.. Fuller,
who is Editor of The Methodist Adrocate. at Atlanta.
Ca made some remarkable statements. The pur-
port of these was that half the wrongs and IN
iuries Of the freedmen had not been told. This
DR.. Fuller ayOwed upon personal observation and
belief. The blacks, he said, were defrauded OF
their wages, and they suffered for food. This
sufficiently accounted for the exodus of which so
much had been said. Cotton is raised by their
labor, and yet they are in a state bordering ON
starvation The Conference Committee on the
state of the country made similar statements. Dr.
Fuer's evidence is worth hearing, and is entitled
TO careful consideration.

While Secretary Sherman's visit is not con-
nected, as he insists, with funding operations,
it has given him the opportunity to make an

SHAVINGS.

The key to every man is his thought.
Appointments once made become
debts.
Ignorance is subject for pity, not
laughter.
A knowledge of mankind is necessary
to acquire prudence.
Flowers sweeten the air, rejoice the
eye, LUX us with nature and innocence,
and are something to love.
This is the present reward of virtu-
Gus conduct-that no unlucky cOnSe-
quence can Oblige us to regret it.
Integrity without knowledge is weak
and useless, and knowledge without in
tegrity is dangerous and dreadful.
The business of life is to go forward; !;
he who sees evil in prospect meets it on
the way; but he who catches it by retro
spectiOn, turns back to find it.
Sin always begins with pleasure and
ends with bitterness. 1t is like colt
which little boy said was very tame in
front and very wild behind.
We should enjoy our fortune as we
do our health-enjOy it when coed, be
patient when it is bad, and never apply
violent remedies except in an extreme
necessity.
As the western clouds are tinged with
gold even after the sun is lost to view,
so does the memory of kind act bring
Il smile to the face when its author is
forgotten.
If you are willing to be as pleasant
and as anxious to please in your own
house as you are in the company of your
neighbors, you would have the happiest
home in the world.
All useless misery is certainly folly.
and he that feels evil before they come
may be deservedly censured, yet surely
to dread the future is more reasonable
than to lament the past.
knowledge cannot be acquired wi TIL
out pain and application. 1t is trouble
some, and like digging for pure waters;
but, when once you come to the spring,
it rises up to meet you.
Duty is the little blue sky over every
heart and sOul-Over every life-large
enough for star to look between the
clouds, and for the skylark happiness to
rise heayenward through and sing in.
The beginning of hardship is like the
first taste of bitter food-it seems for a
moment mbearable; yet, if there Is
nothing else to satisfy your hunger, we
take another bite and find it possible to
go on.
