Puff Seekers.

A country editor urges his breth-
rem to "bounce the puff seekers."-
This would be a step in the right
direction, and the next movement
would be to give all the "honorables ,
and "colonels' long and peaceful
rest. A gentleman is sufficiently
honOred by the old fashioned title of
"Mr.' The puffery and snobbery
complained of is by no means con.
fined to the country press; many
city dailies bear their full share of
the blame. If all the distinguished
military heroes, all the rare and ra-
dent bellies of the "beautiful and
accomplished" type, all the table
and eloquent" orators, and "brilliant''
statesmen and patriots who crowd
the columns of the country newspa-
pers could be gathered into one com
pany, they would form an assem-
blage SO distinguished as to throw
all the famous soldiers, sages and
beauties of the worlds history into
oblivion. But the evil alluded to is
too ridiculous for serious discussion.
1t is not a part of journalism, but
merely one Of its blemishes.-EG.

Bear Thy Burdens.

Bear thy burdens of the present,
Let the morrow bear its own
If the morning sky be pleasant,
Why the coming night bemOan
II the darkened Heavens lower,
Wrap thy cloak around thy form;
Though the tempest rise in power
God is mightier than the storm.
Steadfast faith and hope unshaken
Animate the trusting breast,
Step by step the journeys taken,
Nearer to the land Of rest.
All unseen the Master walketh,
By the toiling servants side;
And c0nsoling words He talketh,
While His hands uphold and guide
Grief nor pain nor any sorrow,
Rends thy breast to Him unknown
He today, and He tomorrow,
Grace sufficient gives His own.
Holy striviDgs nerve and strengthens
Long endurance wins the crown,
When the evening shadows lengthen
Thou shalt lay thy burden down.

Moral Carrion.

Christian WeeklyI
Now that the law in its majesty
threatens to lay its hand upon the
publishers of the vile papers whose
staple is the chronicle of deeds of
crime and lust, is it not time for the
editors of our daily papers to in
augurate reform in the same direc
ton? The daily paper is and ought
to be transcript of the events of
the day. Unfortunately vice and
crime are living and positive reali-
ties, and must have their place in a
faithful delineation of daily life
1t is not necessary, however, that
they should be thrust into the FORE
ground, and with the cunning skill
of the artist be invested with a
glamour that fixes attention on what
should be spurned by healthy aud
pure mind. Nor is it in accord with
the fitness of things that such dis
proportionate attention should be
given to vile or repulSive deeds that
respectable people loathe, aud the
mention of which is tabooed in de-
cent society, while so much that is
commendable and useful and worthy
is ignored, or passed with the slight
est commonplace notice. We never
cease to admire the enterprise and
rare ability of the daily press. We
only wish that its proprietors would
not degrade its high vocation by
bringing into publicity SO much that
should be left to wailow and tester
in the slums that give it birth. We
cordially sympathiso with and
indOrse the suggestion that the
''Christian Advocate" gives to the
conductors of the secular press. 1t
would indeed be new departure in
journalism. The whole community
would be the gamer if it could be
adopted:
"Our suggestion is that you give
your reporters and news agents oil
all kinds instructions to take as
much pains to look up and write up
accounts of good men, trustworthy
institutions, noble and virtuous men
and women, weli,sustained and dis
eliminating beneficence, as they dc
to look up and write up vice, folly
and crime. We fear their scent has
been so long exercised upon moral
carbon that at first they will moi
find the track; but, instructed
and rewarded by you, they viii
soon be as able to pursue the trai
of the good as of the vicious, and
describe pure things as clearly, il
not as startling, as evil things"

Afraid of the Truth.

to be campaign of scandal; that this
Presidential year will be signalized by
an unusual amount of mud-slinging.
These apprehensions are induced by
the free manner in which the public
record of the leading candidate on
the Republican ticket is made the
subject Of comment and exposed to
critical examination. His supporters
deprecate the derogatory remarks
that are made about the favorite of
the Star reuters and land grant job
bers and condemn as scandalous
procedure the analytical process to
which his practices as a statesman are
subjected.
But what may ordinarily appear as
scandalous way of treating candi
date cannot be avoided in Blaines
case. When the facts connected with
his career are plainly presented, deli
cacy in handling his case would be
unfairness to the people who are ask
ed to elevate him to the highest Office
in their gift. If a Threatening evil
may be prevented by the use of harsh
means it would be inexcusable weak
ness to allow delicacy as to the
mode of treatment to interfere with
the obvious duty requiring its pre-
vention. When candidate for an
important public trust is presented
to the people. the extreme nicely that
would regard the exposure of his de-
merits as scandalous is not the kind
of sentiment to be relied upon when
the public welfare is in question.
This no doubt was the view taken
by the many intelligent and reputa-
BILE Republicans who previous to the
meeting of the Chicago convention
plainly stated and published their OBJ
iections to the nomination of James
G. Blaine. In taking this position to
which they were led evidently by
conscientious motives, plain state
ment of the ground of their opposi-
ton to him was proper and unavoid-
able and when it necessitated the ex-
posure of record closely identified
with the corrupt politics that consti-
tute the greatest danger to the gov
eminent, it is preposterous to charge
them with mud singing.
It will be well to bear in mind that
when the Democrats join in the in
dictment of the Republican candidate
they are in accord with the best Re-
publican authority. tits an anomaly
| in the politics of the country that
the seyerest arraignment of the char
acter of the candidate should come
from the best element of his owl
party and the fact that the inculpa
ton of James G. Blaine comes from
such a source entities it to be regard
ed as something above the level o
ordinary campaign criticism.
