4 Dead Issue.

Quite large crowd was out Satur-
DAY night at the Greenback meeting in
Liberal Hall. Curiosity to see man
who had been a candidate tor president
was the principal attraction which drew
the crowd. Knownothingism is no
deader lii the United States to-day than
the 9reenback dogma. A few political
aeltators are making their board and
lodging out of if. The Missouri,
Compromise, the Wilmot proviso, or the
annexation Of Canada would answer
the purpose Just as well for a political
boom. However as it seems to afford
amusement tor some, and a precarious
livelihood for few others. there IS no
call tor strenuous objections. A little
harmless amusement is necessary and
IN the dearth of circuses and such it
does very well as substitute.

SOMETHING WRONG.

The business Of catching train rob.
bers does not go on with that brisk.
ness which honest people wish, or tina,
might hare been expected from the
spasmodic furry into which Governor
Cri,tenden was thrown.
1t takes something more than proc
lamations and threats to capture OF
terrlfy men who make a business ol
robbing trains. The men who did
that thing did not do it upon the i'm.
pulse Of the moment, but after the
plans were all deliberately matured,
not only to do the robbing, but to
make their escape, ana it is not at all
improbable that those who are captur.
ed are decoys, or men whose business
1t was to be captured, in order to throw
the authorities off the track of the real
thieves.
There seems but little doubt in the
minds of many that the robbers have
plenty Of support from the citizens in
the neighborhoods where these out
RACES are committed, hence 1t is very
difficult to capture the real thieves. 1t
is hardly likely that robbery like that

out some one discovering it who could
have given the alarm or prevented the
commission Of the crime, had they so
desired.
lfthere could be some plan by which
the nelghborhoods where these robber-
les occur could be made responsible
for the loss ofproperty, there would be
an end OF this thing and the shameful
stain would beremoved from our state;
but until some plan different from the
present method Of capturing train rob.
bers is adopted, we do not see that
there is much hope of the condition of
affairs being bettered, or that it is a
very perllous thing to stop, capture
and rob 4 tram in that portion of the
state.
In war times, when men were bush

1t IS ridiculous to think that out

and again, and yet the governor with
all the the militia of the state at his
back be unable to capture and punish

Don't Cheat.

1t is an old saying that there is cheat
ing in all trades but ours. But We
have heard of confession which puts
this saving to shame. A house paint.
er-an elderly man-was painting al
outer door, and gentleman who stood
by asked him if his paints were lead
and oil. After a little hesitation he
owned that they were not. Being
asked if they would stand the weather
as we'll as if they were. he admitted
that they would not; and then, seeing
that his questioner knew something Of
the craft, he was tempted into con-
fession. He said that he had been
working at his trade nearly forty years,
and that the difference between the
way in which work was done now and
when he was an apprentice was very
great indeed. Then it was thorough,
honest work, done with good mater
ials, good lead and good oil. Now it
was not. Then men took pride in
doing their work well and seeing it
stand after it was done. They priced
not only the reputation but the consci-
BUSINESS of doing good work. Now
all that they sought was to do work
that would show well enough to get
them their pay, and what became of
it afterward they did not care. Then
they valued a good name, not only
for what it brought them, but for itself,
and they expected to make comfort
able, honest living, and to lay up some
thing year by year. Now they thought
of nothing but to get as much money
as they could for as little labor as they
could give. and to use the cheapest
material that would make job look
we'll when it was finished. They ex-
pected to ''make a lot ofmoney" in a
few years; and if they did not they were
discontented, and began to talk of CIV
ing up their business. Work done
thirty or forty years ago lasted twice as
long as work done now, and was worth
twice as much while it lasted. The
colors mostly used now would crumble
away like dust in two or three years,
while really good paint in that time
ought to grow hard and have frmer
surface than soon after it was put on.
"The truth is,' he added ''we're all
just crazy after money making, and we
don't care much how we make it."
The facts confessed will not surprise
any of us; but the confession is strange.
Of its truth there can be no doubt.
And when we consider that it was only
the honesty of the confession that was
strange, and that what this gray haired
house painter told of his trade is true
Of all others, and that we all know that
t is true, the implied condition of
hings is one of the saddest and most
llsheartening Of the signs Of the times.
The above represents to nearly the
present tendency of the times. We
ind the same disposition to shirk and
light in almost every trade and avoca
ion of life, and We find it equally in
he school-room. We hope every boy
nd girl will remember that "what is
'orth doing is worth doing right" and
rain themselves into habit of doing
they undertake thoroughly
