FOOLISH REFORMERS,

Even reformers, however sincere, are some
times inconsistent The prohibition element in
the heart Of New York city, one of the few
pure drops in the crimson tide of sin that
surges through its arteries, is engaged in a
fearful fight against desperate odds. Unfortu-
nately, some of its leaders, being but human,
will stoOpto folly, and thus bring ridicule from
its enemies and excite distrust and disgust
among those who would like to see it succeed.
For years this movement and its precursors
have cried out against the immunity afforded
very moment that Billy McGlory the leader
and model of desperate and Infamous offend
ers, is put under arrest with a reasonable pros
pect of receiving a just sentence for his mis-
deeds, the leader of the prohibitionists rushes
to his side, holds his hand, listens to his blub-
bering confession of repentance and raises a
fearful appeal in his behalf. Billy McGlory
was not so bad a man as he had been
painted. He was more sinned against
than shining, and if the dear, kind
judge would only release him this time, he
would not only quit selling the innocent bev-
erage that had got him into trouble, but, like
the Apostle Paul, would preach according to
his conversion, and help wipe out such places
as he himself had kept for years. Luckily
for justice, the court had more sense than had
Billy's new-found friend, and Mr.. McGlory
was sentenced in spite of protestations and
prayers. 1t is a shame that temperance lead
ers should be the first to come between this
man and his deserts; to be caught by his
hypocrisy and to believe in his professions.
Therein lies much of the difficulty in the way
of healthy and abiding reformation. Incon-
siderate good people are too quick to be moved
by compassion, and to step between justice
and the wicked. From pleading for even
handed justice they rise from their knees only
to fall down again and sue for mercy and are
scoffed for their interference by the very ones
they would rescue, just as Mr.. Bliss was
pointedly told to go to the devil by McGlory
after he found he could use him no longer

wasted cotton and tobacco fields of
the South, the bleak and almost barren
hills of New England, the knobs of our In
diana fields, made barren by careless culture
and croppage, all point to atime when, if there
is not more conservative action, our regions
will be desolate. Perhaps the greatest lesson
is to be drawn from the winter floods and sum-
mer droughts, no doubt due in great part, to
the useless devastation of our forests. The
watershed of Pennsylvania, though at the
head of three mighty river systems, is not
alone responsible. The whole system of for
estry and croppage, the fields once heavy with
forest but now half the year covered with dry
stubble, the system of farm and road drainage
all demand such supervision as they have
never had in any country, and which can only
be controlled by State and government aid
and mutual cooperation.
More than ever before the Interior causes
need looking after by men high in science.
The agricultural interest demands national
supervision and unity it has never received or
possessed. The meteorological department
cannot control all nature. The wise action
of the societies that have to do with agricul-
ture may do something to restore the early
condition of our forests and riverways, and
prevent such an embodiment with nature as
is destructive of the great interests of the
Mississippi valley and it's inhabitants.

Is there any reason why weddings in high life,
fashionable life or whatever the circle in
which millionaires move may properly be called,
should be legitimate subjects for comment if not
criticism They are assumed to be events of
such general interest that their details are set
out at length in the newspapers. and it seems no
more than right that the public, being thus
taken into the bosom Of the new family, should
have the privilege of free speech. In case of
the death of distinguished person criticism is
enlisted, for one reason, probably that the de-
ceased is no longer in position to profit by it.
In these days Of matrimony made easy, how
ever there is always the possibility that the per
sons most concerned may, sooner or later, be
called upon with change of partners, to repeat
the ceremonies which make them united until
they are united. This being the case they should
kindly welcome any advice as to possible i'm
provements in the proceedings. The daughter
of patent medicine king" who was married in
New York this week to a naval officer, had, we
learn by half column specials, a most stylish
and brilliant wedding Among the details given
of this style and brilliancy are the decorations of

roses may be called magnificent. this certainly
was so. but this adjective seems hardly the cor
rect one to use The ordinary arch or bell of
flowers was not sufficient for this bride; she
must have something better. Money can buy
nothing more beautiful than roses but much
money can buy many roses, so the cottage was
built of them. and floral bell was hung at each
corner. Inside the cottage the couple stood
while the marriage ceremony was performed,
and afterward received the congratulations of
their friends there. 1t may have been a gorgeous
and dazzling array, but, even at this distance,
smacks of vulgarity and destruction of the
innocents. If flowers can be vulgarized, this was
case where such a fact was accomplished
Marechal Neil roses are lovely, but with ten
thousand of them before the guests eyes it may
be doubted whether not a fragrance of pee
tora faint and not so far off, did not destroy the
perfume of the flowers. The source of the mag
nihcence was not sufficiently remote for har-
mony. certain simplicity would have been
more in keeping. The guests might have forgot
ten to estimate how many boxes of pellets the
roses represented had they been fewer in num-
Der. The lady may never have opportunity
to try it again, but, should she do so,
should use fewer flowers.
