Il DISTINGUISHED VISITOR.

At meeting of the Detroit Lime
Kiln Club the janitor announced the
presence of the Hon. Solo Bomby, of
Arkansas, whose arrival had been ex-
pected for several days.
Sir Isaac Walpole and Waydown Be-
bee escorted the visitor into the hall in
due style, and he was given generous
introduction from the platform. He
then began
My fren's, did not arrove heah to-
night to make speech. I simply want.

der Gardner to save hotel bill [Cheers.l

neber saw so much land to de acre in all
my life. White folks seem to hev plen-
ty of money, and cherry Guild family
owns from one to six dogs. I am also
highly surprised an greatly delighted
at de progress which you uns hev made

[Cheers.]
Gle glad to see all dis. No thought
of jealousy rankles in my breast. On de
contrary. May de emblem continer
her indivisibility until the unrewarded
requisition contests the apparent relia-
bility of the gondolier. In fact, let me
say with Jefferson: 'Ignis fatuus hors
de combat faux pas pas ex abrupto est
modus in rebus, and don't you ever for
get it."
For minute the hall was as silent as
a graveyard. Then Samuel Shinn rose
up and whooped, and cheer upon cheer
rolled up and down and could not be
suppressed until some one outside threw
turnip through the window and missed
the Rev. Penstock's head by the mill
ionth part of an inch.

THE EDITOR rs a HELPER,

Journalists are, we take it, quite as
intelligent as lawyers and doctors, and
are much quicker, rigorous natural Sc
lection starving out slow men, and they
are compelled to learn vast number of
facts which are not harder to learn than
the anatomy of the body or the practice
of the courts. Continuous attention
alone, apart altogether from special in
tellectual capacity, immensely increases
knowledge, and with it the power Of
forming an opinion. Take the most or
binary illustration. There is no subject
upon which the average Englishman is
SO densely ignorant as South American
politics. The telegram informs him
that the Argentine Confederation has
declared war upon Chill, and leaves him
Just as ignorant as he was before. But
he happens to know rather stupid
South American merchant dealing with
the republics of the Plata; he talks to
him. and in ten minutes he possesses
four or five times the capacity for an
opinion that lie possessed before. He
may not form an accurate opinion, but
still it is not totally ignorant one, and
is, therefore, pro tanto, safer than the
one which, without the merchant, he
would have formed. The journalist
stands to his reader just in the relation
of that merchant-that is, he can help
his questioner good deal toward an
opinion, which will be sound or I'M
sound, according to the joint capacity OF
them both, but will be indefinitely
sounder than that of the man who has
only heard the news.-Loadon Specta.

THE PROSTITUTION OF PUBLIC OF
FICE

Nothing will so surely undermine
and utterly destroy a government
as the prostitution of high public
trusts to personal gain. 4 country
may be rich in natural resources, and
the industry and thrift Of its. people
seRy crowd the national = treasury
with an immense surplus; her trade
with foreign lands may add to her
wealth, and her name may be re-
spected and feared by the nations of
the earth: but if her people do not
place in the exalted positions of trust
men who have high sense of per-
sonal and public honor-men who
are not greedy of gain and thirsty
for individual power for their per-
sonal aggrandizement-her prosper>
ity must, of necessity, be retarded,
and her downfall commence.
Men spend thousands of dollars
to obtain a seat in the House of Rep
resentatives or the Senate. They
mortgage their property and borrow
money in other ways to secure an
election, and then present themselves
at the door of Congress as the ''rep>
resentatives of the people, when in
reality i'll many cases they only rep
resent themselves and few others
who constitute faction of a party.
In some instances they only represent
a single corporation mot even them
selves in reality, whose obedient
servants they are, and whose mandate
to them is the only law they recognize.
In the first case, they enter Congress
financially embarrassed. After two
or three terms in office they are
relegated to private life with plenty
of money. When this is the case,
every thinking man and woman
knows that the man must
have prostituted his high Of
fee to personal gain, for the
salary paid member of Congress is
not sufficient to enable him to
save very much, even were he dis
posed to be quite economical. In the
second case, where Congressman is
the representative of some CORPORA
ton, his increase in wealth is easily
accounted for.
Not only is this true of the legis>
lative department of the government
but it is equally true of the execu-
tive department, and alas sometimes
also of the judicial department. The
public treasury is regarded as the
legitimate prey of sharp, shrewd
politicians. It has become common
for people to laugh when some man
has been detected in some public
theft, and say, "Well, Uncle Sam is
rich; he can stand it. The man
stole from the government, and mad
as good right to the money as any
one else
Men organize and band together
