Down in Virginia. the other day, q
Icircus clown took occasion to preach
sermon IN behalf OF the clergy.
which had some unexpected results.
At the same time with the visit OF
the menagefie and circus religious
convocation was in session. The
jester in his painted face and riottled
garments, arose i'll the tent, and de-
livercd the following speech;
eve have taken in six huHdred
dollars here to-day; more money, l
venture to say, Ihan any lninister OF
the gospel in this community would
receive for whole years service A
large portion of this money was
given by church members, and a
large portion of this audience is made
up Of members of the church. And
yet, when your preacher asks you tc
aid him in supporting the gospel, you
are too poor to give anything. Eut
you come here and. pay dollars 10
hear me talk nonsense. l am fooi
because | am paid for it; | make my
living by it. You profess to be wise,
and yet you support me in my folly.
But perhaps you say you did not
come 10 see the circus, bat the ami
mails, why did you. not simply look at
them and leave? Now, is not this a
pretty place for Christians TO be in {?
Do you not feel ashamed of your
selves? You ought to blush in such
q place as this"
This candid review of the situation
startled the congregation" The
local preachers took advantage of it
started revival, and we trust will
hereafter be better paid.

EDITORS HERALD OF KANSAS: In
| your issue Of the 9th Of February,
you made structures on the tempe
rance and educational work recently
started among our people, which
seem to US to call for reply. You
say, concerning the temperance
lodges, "they virtually disfranchise
their members in so far
that they swear 10 support for Office
only those who are lucky enough to
be nominated and placed on the pro-
hibltion ticket. x This
members are in duty bound to sup
port that ticket, let The men on the
ticket be Democrats Independents
or Republicans" Now, sirs, VIC sub
NIT that it is reflection on onr in,
telligencc to affirm that we would
thus barter or sacrifice our political
rights. We think we know those
rights, and what they cost, too well,
10 MAKE such compromise of them
II for the name Of promoting tempe
rance we voted for Democrats, we
would be welding boomerangs
which would surely strike backward
hitting the hardest them who threw
them! No, sirs, the members of the
lodges are as free 10 vote the ticket
OF their choice as those of the Ma
sonic, Odd Fellows, or any other
non-political association. We are
only under the obligation-not IS
members of the lodgS-but that
which is alike binding on all good

The Lake Charles echo. [volume] (Lake Charles, Parish of Calcasieu, La.) 1876-1898, 1880-02-07

Under this head we republish this
week an extract from an editorial in
the last number of Scribner's Monthly
Magazine, to which we invite special
attention. The evils of intemperance
have attained magnitude so appalliug
that even the literary and non-partisan
press has begun to lift its voice against
the most gigantic crime of the age.
The advocates of thetempcrance cause,
in the interest of the youth of our
country, and Of popular education, have
published a text book, for use in
schools, designed exclusively toinstrnct
the young in the nature and effects of
Intoxicating liquor. We regard this
movement the most effective, by far,
yet adopted by the friends of total alb
stinence. So long as boys and young
men know nothing of the properties Of
alcohol except by what they can Judge
from its effects, and so long as this very
limited knowledge is restricted to the
sphere of their personal observation, so
long win they be most likely, from a
natural love ofexperiment, to acquire
incorporate habits. Let them study
and learn at school all about the prop
critics and effects of this curse of the
human race, Witnessing daily, as they
must, in towns and cities atleast, living
illustrations of the truth of what they
are thus taught, and they ,wiilnollonger
care, by experiment, to play with fire.
We welcome the temperance lesson
book to the school-room.

TEpe Ern OF REFORM.
IN. o. Daily States, 18th Iult.l

4 Yesterday, in the House of Repre-
sentatives, the committee on elections
submitted a report on the contested
case of Francis VS.. Mahoney. The con-
test was based upon the charge that
| Mahoney was Ineligible to a seat IN
the General Assembly under Art. l7l OF
the Constitution, which is as follows !:
4 No person who, at any time, may have
been a collector of taxes, whether State, par
| ish or municipal, or who may have been Duh
| erwise iutrusted with public money, or any
4 portion thereof shall be eligible to the gen
\ eral assembly or to any office of honor, prOfif
or trust under the State government, or any
parish or municipality thereof, until he shall
1 have obtained Il discharge for the amount OF
such collections andfo all public moneys with
which he may have been intrusted."
| Under this provision Mahoney was
debarred seat in the House. Having
been entrusted with public money "
belonging to the school fund of the
parish, and not having "obtalned a
discharge for the amount of such public
money with which he had been intrnst-
ed" he came under the prohibiting
clause of article l7l of the Constitu-
ton. Being convinced of this fact he
very wisely withdrew his pretensions
to represent the parish of Plaquemines
in the House of Representatives.
This is the first application of this re-
formatory measure IN our organic law,
and its rigid enforcement i'm the future
will be wholesome restraint upon
public officials. Ut Will also purify the
Legislature of ,disreputable characters
who should never be permitted to take
part in framing laws for the people of
Louisiana.
Another case, similar to Mahoneys,
lis still pending beforethe House. Dave
Young, of Concordia, who claims to
represent his parish, is charged with
being a .defaulter to the school fund,
and hence objections were made to his
admission to the House, as he, too,
was disqualified under article l7l.
Both Mahoney and Young are colored
men, aud during the administrations of
Warmoth and Kellogg played a very
part in the political history
of those periods. Through their in
Ifiuence with the Executive in their re-
preventative capacity, they obtained
the official positions out of which they
realized large sums of money, by APP
propriating to their own use the funds
belonging to the public schools of their
parishes.
1t was the frequency of such cases
in the past that induced the convention
to incorporate in the Constitution ar
ticIe III, the early and prompt enforce
ment of which by the present Legisla-
ture marks the first step in the ,direc-
ton of reform,
