THE President has difficult task to per-
form in the selection of members of the tar
if commission imposed on him by Congress.
The number of applications already received
are numerous; different sections of the coun-
try urge that their respective claims are para
mount; various and oftentimes conflicting
interests demand places for their champions
and many office seekers see in the commission
only so many places of political preferment.
Congress has admitted it's inability to treat
the tariff question impartially, because so
large body cannot arrive at satisfactory
conclusions where so many interests are in
volved. The President in his action will be
governed only by the desireto do "'the great
est good to the greatest number" and he is
reported as being determined to make selec-
lions with sole reference to fitness, and as
holding that he ought not to appoint men
who are representatives of special interests
or the champions of particular views. He is
said to aim rather to find men Of recognized
standing and ability for the work in hand
who shall sit as board of inquiry and call
all classes of specialists as well as practical
business men before them. It is thought
that some action in the matter will be taken
to-day.

The Jewel Consistency.

It would simplify things very much in
this world if mems professions and practices
were consistent at all points. But the frail-
ty of poor human nature does not permit
this and mankind must make the best of
themselves as they find themselves. So,
even if men cannot always act fully up TO
their professions, it is better for them to
have tho professions, and to praise good
things though they may not uniformly do
them. A high ideal is advantageous in NOR
ais and manners, even though it be not al
ways lived up to. 1t raises the tone of
things and prevents evil from ever being rat
ed as reputable. This general principle will
be generally accepted, but men are some
times little illogical in applying it to spec
ial cases, and accuse their neighbors of n.y.
pocrisy because they talk better than they
act. 1t is certainly charitable to give men
credit for good intentions in protesting vir-
tue in spite of occasional failures of con-
formity in practice.
Here in Maine where men discuss the
temperance question more than elsewhere
this kind of charity is required in that direc-
ton. 1t is very common to hear men, es-
pecially candidates for election to public of !,
fee, denounced as enemies to the Prohibito-
ry Law because they may use intoxicants
themselves; and if they profess themselves
as favorable to Prohibition, they are called
hypocrites. Such aspersions are often I'M
Just. 1t is easy to conceive that 2 man may
honestly favor the temperance legislation
as matter of public policy, and for the good
of the community, while he himself does not
practice total abstinence. 1t must be re-
membered that there is no law in Maine
against the use of intoxicants; the law is di-
rected solely against their sale. The man
who uses strong drink himself, yet is willing
to sustain the Prohibitory law, really sacri-
fees something of his own convenience to
the general good. There are men in Maine
who practice total abstinence and yet OPP
pose the Prohibitory legislation. Are not
practice total abstinence and yet sustain the
Prohibitory laws? In point of fact neither
is necessarily inconsistent. Their private
action depends upon personal taste and ten
denotes, while their public action may be
governed by abstract reason and reflection.
Let all men who will speak and vote right
on this great question be welcome, and
if their public and private action con-
form so much the better, but if not it is the
public action which should fix their status
on the question. The enemies of the Pro-
hibitory law are prompt and eager to de-
nounce as hypocritical and inconsistent all
men who favor the law but do not practice
total abstinence. Let not its friends follow
their example.

SIMON WOLFE, the American consul gen.
eral to Egypt from this country, says the
condition of affairs in that country is not
nearly SO bad and threatening as represent
ed. He says that the Khedive is highly edu-
Gated, and greatly devoted to his people.
He thinks the great source of the trouble
lies in the fact that he and Arab Pasha can
not agree. 1t is said that Mr.. Wolfe spent
two weeks of his consular term in Egypt
and the rest in travelling in Europe. If this
is so, his estimate of Egyptian affairs is en-
titled to about as little weight as you may
choose to give it.

If the red slayer thinks he Stays,
Or if the slain thinks he is slain,
They know not well the subtle ways
keep and pass and turn again.
Far or forget to me is near;
Shadow and sunlight are the same;
The vanished gods to me appear;
And one to me are shame and fame
Trey reckon i'll who leave me out;
When me they fly am the wings;
am the doubted and the doubt,
And the hymn the Brahmin sings.
The strong gods pine for my abode;
And pine in vain the sacred seven;
But thon meek lover of the good,
Find me, and turn thy back on Heaven.
To most readers this remains riddle. 1t is
fair, therefore, to give the solution offered by
one of Mr.. Emerson's admirers, Mr.. Alfred III.
Guernsey. He says it is, in fact, IAN exposi-
ton of one of the profoundest of all human
faiths-the pure Buddhist theosophy, freed
from later increments of transmigration and
the like Brahma, the adorable and incom-
prehensble, represents himself as the All in
All; as at once cause and effect-the subject
and the object of every action-at the same
time the doer and the thing done. The strong
gods, who appear to bave come into being and
who are themselves only illusory apparitions of
Brahma, are, by bold stretch of imagination,
represented as pining to attain the knowledge
of him; the sacred seven, by whom we under
stand the seven wise men of antiquity, as rep
resentatives of all intellectual wisdom. also
pine in vain for the knowledge which is re-
served only for the meek lovers of the good;
and this knowledge is the Nirvana-the COM
plete and beatifc absorption of all individual
being and consciousness into the Infinite Be-
ing; and this involves the renu nciation of all
that can be conceived of under the name OF
heaven"
