THOUGHT OF THE HOUR.

SATIRE is very effective weapon in the
hands of person who can use it skillfully,
but if you would have the spirit of Christ do
not cultivate that dangerous gift.-Christian
Advocate, Nashville, Tenn.
MENTAL overwo1k is one of the growing
evils of the day; and ii is most dangerous
evi. as well, because of its universally, es-
pedally among those high in public posi-
tlons of trust and responsibility.-Won
WIS., Reporter.
WHEN 0rsini threw his bombs at Napoleon
England laughed. When the dyHamiters
piled their internal practices in England
America smiled. Now the laugh is on the
other side of the water.-Washington Her
aid.
THE deleterious results of that Anarchist
raid on Chicago drug store seem to call for
the incorporation of a plank in the next
Anarchist platform that drug stores about to
be Quilted shall keep nothing on hand but
irst-class whisky.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
TWENTY years have passed and we have the
questions of labor, of capital, of anarchy,
and of temperance. They have come not to
disappear, but to be answered. Mr.. Cable
has summed up the little abuses of the South
in his book. The world is full of little griev-
ancts and the Christianity which has stopped
rivers of blood must stop the unseen tears
Professor Swing
THE Tabd socialstic element has been at
tempting to control and use the Knights of
LABOR for its own purposes. The organic
alton must either succumb to this element
or defeat it. The situation ought to be
squarely faced. Mr.. rowderly will make a
grave mistake if he does not precipitate this
issue at.Cleveland. The men who buy guns
and dynamite ought to be expelled, or else
Mr.. Powderly ought to abdicate-Minne-
apolis Tribune.
He then took the jury and his listening
audience to Washington, and pictured Jay
Goulds last appearance before Congress
sional Committee, and to quote from his
language descriptive of the scene, pleading
for law and order, and asking the Govern
ment to draw its sword for the protection of
his property from a mob, and this same man
impelled mob to destroy the property of
the Bankers and Merchants Company. No
man should be so small that his cry can not
| be heard, and no man or corporation should
/ be so rich that it can not be compelled to
hear. There is some excuse for mob stung
| by a famine" the Colonel proceeded, with
! added vigor There is some excuse for a
mob wanting bread. There is some excuse
for a mob resorting to violence when for
| years there have been vain pleadings for
redress. There should De no mob of mil
! lionaires and millionaires should not head
mobs. New York Herald's Report of In
! gersoll's Plea Against the Western Union.
IT is a wrong notion that many young men
have, that if they can only occupy certain
stations they will thereby attain the oppor-
! tunities for fame or usefulness. 1t is well
! known that some of the former Presidents of
the United States are forgotten, while the
names OF others will be held in grateful re-
memhrance while our country exists. Two
men may occupy the same position the one
| is looked up to and his counsel and advice
sought and needed. The other would not be
| known if his name was not attached to po-
sition. The one puts honor upon his call
ing; if the other gets any honor, it is by re-
fectioD.-Y. NJ. C. A. Waterman.
