Bowed Down With Shame.

Among the events of the past few
weeks there is no more pitiful, and at
the same time more impressive specta-
Gle, SAYS the Chicago Graphic News,
than that of General Alexander Sha-
ler. sitting in New York court room
under an Indictment for bribe-taking,
with his head bowed down on islands
and the hot tears of shame trickling
.over the burrows of his face. Once q
brave and competent soldier, and later
a prominent and honored citizen, a
favorite in social circles, and the head
of a refined and loving family, he must
certainly feel that his present degrada-
tion is complete. And yet, poor Sha-
ler's offense was but the natural out
come of state of public morals which
is becoming more and more character
istic of this American nation, and
which is chiefly created by an all-sub-
DUNG regard for money and display,
and the fabby ideas OF haty that pre-
vail in regard to ,..e service of the
people. When we shall have realized
more generally that money and osten-
tation are by no means essential to
happiness, and that the honor and
probity of a public servant Should be
as fully above suspicion as those of
any other citizen, then we shall hear
much less of corrupt legislators, alb
sconding bank cashiers, and disgraced
officials.
