IT is no worse for minister to lie
than it is for any other person. But
minister should not claim to have
stronger hold upon truth than have peo-
pie not of the cloth. The Rev. Mr..
Snyder who lately published an interview
had with Mr.. Conkling, turns out to be
a liar. Reporters fall into the habit of
coloring facts, but Snyder is an amateur
and lied about Conkling wholly because
he took pleasure in falsehood.

THERE is large field for the magma
ton in the arguments for and against
flooding the Sahara. Large portions of
it is below the sea level and it begins to
look as if something would be done to
allow the water to find its level. The
flooding of such an immense area causes
considerable alarm as to what the result
would be on the climate of the adjoining
countries. Some insist that it would so
change the climate as to make Europe a
very undesirable place in which to live,
and the work could not be undone.

THOSE papers which howl SO much
about Bismarck's bad manners should
reflect a little. Whatever of bad man

necessary by the action of the American
House of Representatives. The bad

originated there and made bad manners
a necessity on the part of Bismarck. The

good manners on his side, as he certainly
has the backbone.

favoring free trade or not, they are sus-
