TENAS PRESS OPINIONS.


The Bourbon leaders and the Bourbon
press are never tired of harping on the
string OF tariff for revenue only, We VEN
ture to say that not ono.tCnth of these
loud takers know anything of the facts in
question. They have got hold of a pet ey.
preston significant of vague idea, and
they hold on TO it and discourse about II
as ifthey had studied its foundation, prin.
ciples and had found them reasonable. Let
us examine the mattcrin the briclest style
and then ask our Bourbon friends why
should they use language with no mean.

were levied directly, say $40 per head, on

add more largely and rapidly
to the tax-digest and increase a ity's flnan-
eial resources more quickly ana perma-
nently than by erecting houses for worship
which give advantages that turn the tide OF
population toward her gates and fix the
immigrants homes within her corporate
boundaries. But tits argued as an excuse
for neglect that so few have all the work to
do and all the sacrifices to make. Well,
that is always the case. Two men build a
hotel and every interest of the community
is served by it. A few men build factory
and all the neighborhood get the benefit
Of the investment. A few men
build brick blocks and railroads, and
yet the entire population reap the benefits,
aud in many Instances the profits. The
beneiactors are always few, the bened-
Charles are always many. 1t is a religo-
commercial illustration of that divine law
and inevitable decree that attaches to our
race, "NO man liveth to himself" Aslong
as We live, If We live worthy the manhood
We claim, We must pour our lives out upon
others; but the return is sure and
a hundred fold. For "what man

HOUSES FOR WORSHIP.

Nothing that concerns city or country
is foreign to the journalist. Every move.

add to the common welfare is weighed, and
every project which proposes to affect the
public interests is severely tested by tho

building houses of worship, We are aware

The Miseries of a Mean Man.

Sometimes wonder what a mean man
thinks about when he goes to bed.
When the darkness closes in about
him and he is alone, and compelled to
be honest with himself. And not a
bright thought, not a generous impulse,
not manly act, not a word of blessing,
not grateful look, comes to bless him
again. Not penny dropped in the out,
stretched hand of poverty, nor the balm
of a loving word dropped into an aching
heart; no sunbeam of encouragement
cast upon struggling life; the strong
right hand of fellowship reached out to
help some fallen man to his feet-when
none of these things comes to him as the
"God bless you" Of the departed day,
how he must hate himself. How he must
try to roll away from himself and sleep
on the other side of the bed. When the
only victory he can think of is some mean
victory, in which he has wronged q
neighbor. No wonder he always sneers
when he tries to smile. How pure and
fair and good all the rest of the world
must look to him, and how cherries and
dusty and dreary must his own path ap.
pear. Why, even one lone, isolated ACT
of meanness is enough to scatter cracker
crumbs in the bed of the average or.
binary man whose whole life is given uE
to mean acts? When there is so much
suffering and heartache and misery in the
world, anyhow, why should you add one
pound OF wickedness or sadness tc
the general burden? Don't be mean,
my boy. Suffer injustice q thousand
times rather than commit it once.-Bur
