Don't Pull the ELomars

On Saturday last, three boys were
arrested for pulling flowers at
Greenwood Cemetery, taken before
a magistrate and fined five dollars
and costs-the whole amounting to
about $13, each. The laws against
such depredations as this are very
strict, and Mr.. Wyatt, the Superin-
tendent, only discharged his boun-
den duty in reporting these boys
and having them punished. Not
only boys, but many other persons
who ought to and do know better,
are frequently guilty of pulling the
flowers and shrubery of this beauti-
full ''City of the Dead" and it must
be stopped. We trust the fate of
these boys will deter others from
doing the same thing.

The Democratic tidal wave which has
started in Ohio, and is running eastward
with great force, calls to mind the memora-
BILE upheaval OF 1874 In that year the tidal
wave started in Ohio and Indiana, both Of
which then voted in October. and were car
ried by the Democrats by a majority in each
State Of more than 17,OOO 1t then swept
through Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New
York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts, the
Democrats elccting CASTOR for Governor in
the old Bay State by 1882 majority.
The aggregate Democratic majority In the
seven States was $4,000. In the same States
the Democrats elected 6s members Of Con-
gress, and the Republicans only At.
Why should not the tidal wave OF this year
equal that Of 1s742 Its magnitude eight
years ago was largely owing to the dissatis-
faction OF Republicans with their own party.
Republican dissatisfaction is stronger and
more threatening now in several Of these
States than it was then. All that is needed
this fall is to nomidate good Democratic can
didates and bring out full vote.

and carry off the bill. Your temptations to
be less thorough in your search for him than
your conscience bids you to be are therefore
great. But you can't really humbug your
conscience. 1t will trouble you, and trouble
you the more the better boy you are, IL you

A writer in Hoboken who signs his note
with the initials E. r. G.. argues in favor
OF the barbarous phrase in their midst" on
the ground that 1t was permitted In the
Anglo-Saxon language. Perhaps his argu-
mont is intended to be practical joke. since
the Anglo-Saxon sentences which he quotes
only prove that the phrase which is
now good English. namely. in the midst of
them" was also good Anglo-Saxon Besides,
nothing in regard to correct usage in the Eng
fish language can now be established either
from the Anglo-Saxon. the old Morse. or the
Gothic. They are OF the highest value In
studying the origin OF the English but they
are no more to be taken as standards of rhotor-
zeal correctness in our day than is the English
Of Chaucer.
Another writer. whose views are always
worthy OF attention. writes to recall the fact
that the word " midst" means simply middle
so that the harbarous phrase in our midst "
is precisely equivalent to in our middle"
Any one can see that this is so bad that no
ignorance and no smartness can successfully
defend it.

found when you have failed to discover the
loser is not stealing by any means, but keep
ing the property without making due search
for him Is dishonesty.
We advise you, for the sake Of your peace
of mind and your love Of what is fair and
honest, to act about that ten-dollar bill you
picked up on your desk rs you would have

the editor OF a profcssedly religious paper,

Always be square and above board. Avoid
everything crooked and tricky. And never
confuse your ideas Of what is due to truth
and honesty by arguing about what you
might be tempted or forced to do under ex-
treme circumstances. It Is enough that the
law is the law Of truth. Every man and
every boy knows that in his own heart.
