Judge Wyfie on Star Route Organs.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Judge Wylie. Of the District Of Columbia Su-
preme Court, spoke in just condemnation Of q
class OF blackmail dlsreputabe. newspapers when
charging the grand jury on Wednesday. Heun-
doubtedly more particularly referred to the star
route organs which have go long disgraced the
press of Washington. It need not be a matter
of surprise if Judge Wylie has thus been led to
take too discouraging view Of the integrity
and honesty offewspapers.
There cannot be too severe condemnation
of the star route organs and the backmail pub
lications Of similar class throughout the coun-
try. They are guilty of all that Judge Wylie
charges, and in some cases ought to have the
attention Of the law. They are demoralizing
and dangerous; no mans character is safe from
their assaults. They are not newspapers; they
are organs printed for dishonest purposes. and
no act is too low or contemplate for their I'M
dertaking.
Judge Wylie will find the newspapers of the
country are not all star routl organs; that they
are not all sensational and libelous. The honest
newspapers very heartily join with Judge
Wylie In condemning the star route kind of
journalism. 1t no longer has the influence it
once had; it is every year becoming less dam
gerous to society and government.

The sublimity of wisdom is to do

SUDDEN WHITE HALE

When the Emperor Leopold was
was about to make his grand entry
into Vienna, the old sexton Of ST.
Joseph's Cathedral was much troubled
in his mind. Upon such occasions
it had been his custom to take his
stand on the pinnacle Of the tower
and wave flag as the imperial pa
geant passed by, but he felt that age
had so weakened his nerve that he
dared not again attempt the perilous
performance: After thinking the
matter over he came to the conclusion
that he must find a substitute; and
knowing his pretty daughter had
plenty of stalwart suitors, the old fell
low publicly announced that the man
who could fill his place successfully
should be his son-in law, To his in
tense disgust, the offer was at once
accepted by Gabriel Petershem, his
aversion and the special favorite of
the girl, who saw not with her fathers
eyes. On The appoiOted day, Vienna
opened its gates to the new-made
Emperor; but it was evening or near
upon evening, when the young flag
bearer welcomed the procession from
st. Joseph's tower. His task per-
formed, Gabriel would have descend
ed frou the airy height, but found
his way barred. Two wretches had
done the treacherons sections bidding
and closed the trap door Of the upper
stairway, leaving the brave youth to
choose between precipitating himself
on the pavement below, or clinging
the cold night through to the slender
spire, with but ten inches Of foot
hold. he choose possible life to Ger
tain death; but when rescue came
With the morning, bis eyes were
sunken and dim, his cheeks yellow
and wrinkled, his curly locks as white
as snow. Gabriel Petersheim had
won his bride at fearful cost.

Is HUMAN NATURE A SUCCESS.

L. HUMAN NATURE A SUCCESS.
The melancholy writer of this ques-
ton in the New York Herald must
have been eating green apples. Some
thing has evidently doubled him up
like third grade school boy with
the cramp collie. OF course it is.
There is more success to the square
inch in human nature than in all des-
cendants of the animals which shifted
around Noah's Ark before going over
the gang plank. When a man with
his teeth gritting like a coffee mill
can patiently hold up the waistband
Of his pantaloons with one hand while
he feels around on the barn floor with
the other after q shingle nail to re-
place busted button, and does all
this without any direct reference to
the Deity, he's success.

been ground SO long between the
upper and neither millstones of a
Vassar girls jaw that it is tired and
all worn out, and manages to slip out
from between her cherry lips and fall
through the crack in railroad bridge,

ooh, my country It's Of thee,
Sweet land of liberty %


you can bet all your small change
that human nature is grand, gloomy
success success whish will wash
and retain all the colors of female
minstrel show bill.
IF human nature isn't a success,
how do you account for postmasters
and custom house officers, and other
government appointees who have en-
dured kicks and cuffs and all the nu-
merous varieties Of the gin sings and
arrows of outrageous fortune with
smiles pryiDg their top and bottom
jaws SO wideopen you could heave the
American navy down their larnyxes 7
Ifhuman nature isn't a success,
who copper-lined the small boys
stomach so that he can load himself
so full of green melon that the seeds
pop out of his ears and the juice
plays through bis nose like a soda
fountain?
The fact is, when poor devil slips
up in any project, it is because he
has not enough human nature 10 his
compoaition-aDd too great an allow
ance Of donkey. Human nature gen.
orally captures the pretzel when it
sets out in the race. The intellect
ual giant who strides out of the col
lege campus and goes forth into the
great world to conquer--or die, gen.
orally curls up in some fence corner
and tries to die after the great world
has made few playful passes at him.
The trouble is he's long on intellect
and short on human nature. IF he
would only spit on his hands and go
to handling railroad iron he might
some day superintend the very COR
poration whose obese directors are
now the very men be envies. Yes;
human nature is just the biggest kind

THE DYING MOTHER.

We are weeping round her pillow,
For we knew that she must die;
1t was night within our bosoms--
1t was night within the sky,
There were seven of us children,
the Oldest one of all,
So | tried to whisper comfort,
But the binding tears would fall.
On my knee my little brother
Leaned his aching brow, anG wept,
And my sisters long black tresses,
Ger my heaving bosom swept.
The shadow of an awful fear
Came Ger me as ! trod,
To lay the burden Of my grief
Before the throne of God.
ooh be kind to one another"
Was my mothers pleading prayer,
As her hand lay like snowflake
On the baby's golden hair.
Then glory bound her forehead,
Like the glory of a crown,
And in the silent sea Of death
The star Of life went down.
Her latest breath was borne away
Upon her loving prayer,
And the hand grew heavier, paler,
In the baby's golden hair.

BEGINNING EARLY.

They are traditional. They walk
out Of the station hand iu hand, and
they stop at the first confectioner's
and buy soda-water and red popcorn
and quart of peanuts. They ride
on the street cars and squeeze. They
wander through the corridors of the
city hall aud squeeze harder. They
sit on the bench in the Grand Circus
Park and yearn and sigh and lock
fingers and look as foolish as two boys
caught in melon patch.
just such couple left the train at
the union depot and walked up Jeffer-
son avenue yesterday, She had long
curls and pink dress and yellow
sash, and he had a standing collar
saving his ears off, button-hole bo-
quet and pair of new boots freshly
CREASED and one sizs too small. They
hadn't walked two blocks when they
came to man sitting on box in
front ola store, and as he caught sight
Of them grin spread over his face
like molasses spreading out on shin
gle.

halt.

"Yesl Hold onl Ssyl"
He took up the middle of the street,
like runaway horse, and the young
man took after him, but it was no use.
After race of block the man who
grinned grinned SO fast that the other
stopped short and went back to his
girl and his hat. Stretching forth
his hand to the innocent maiden, he
remarked:
"Lucy clasp on to thai; and if you
let go for the next two hours, even to
wipe your nose, l will never call you
