1T may he no worse for q church member TO lie
than Tor "a publican and sinner" but 1t looks
worse.-Altoona PENN Tribune.
ONE concession almost invariably leads 10 an
other The Maryland marriage license fee having
been reduced from 81 to 81, there is now loud
and imperative demand for a similar reduction in
the cost OF divorce. Washington Republican.
No need be ashamed OF his patriotism.
Times may change and mutations follow each
other but mans acts OF patriotism never rise up
to make him ashamed or paint his childrens
cheeks with bluSh.-Jonn A. Bingham, OF Ohio.
THE past five or six years have been full OF sur
prises to the President, and il now he is little
dszed by his happiness so much the better. II
shows big human heart is throbbing somewhere
in his ample anatomy, and all Presidents have
not been big hearted men.-Salt Lake Tribune.
lr is no doubt true as Frederick Douglass said,
that ''there is need of a great in Con-
gIess." Ia the absence OF such man about

tons would supply "long felt want"-Boston
Herald.
TIE time of the year approaches when, the
little city boy said, who saw the churches closed,
"the Lord goes into the country" A test of the
religion OF those who leave the sanctuaries behind

Gated to know the demagogues and to condemn
them.-Milwaukee Journal

TIE man who says that those WHO have per
: formed no honest labor have amassed the most OF
the wealth, either does not know what he is talk
ing about or is so blinded by his prejudices to

| honest labor for in these United States there is
not one able bodied man in thousand who is not
| compelled, or who does not feel himself com
| PEELED, to labor for his living in one form or
another.-Boston Herald.
INSTEAD of considering himself public servant
with duty to perform the Office holder too often
seems TO consider himself public pet whose con-
stituents have sent him on picnic at their own
expense. This reminds US OF the Kentucky legis

| adjournment, said he "would like to know why
they wanted TO adjourn when they were getting
s. per day and pie every day."-Elgin, ILL.,, Every
