not satinets, sometimes called wash

well as politics, but l do not like office"
M@ny people are prone to suspect the
political gritty of all politicians. This
is wrong. Most OF them are men of high
sense OF personal and political honor.
Politicians are conspicuous objects tor
opposition and criticism, public as well
as private. Their errors and faults, as
well as their foibles. are frequently mag
nltied or mIsrepresented. The man who
becomes politician challenges criticism,
aud he does not generally complain when
ne receives reasonable and just criticism.
The country has need Vt true politicians.
There may be too many mere oficeseek-
ers, but there are IN every community too
few men who have the time or the taste or
the capacity to devote themselves to the
study and practical discussion OF the
science of government.

Pnlitics and Politicians.

Rev. sam Jones is represented as saying
that be would not insult God by PRAYING
for politician. 1t he said anything of
b., kind be doubtless did so without think
ing about what the expression meant.
Christians cannot refuse 70 pray tor any
person or class OF persons, since they have
the example OF Christ praying for his per-
secutors, Father, forgive them, they
know not what they do"
Politicians are Only men with like pas
sious and temptations as other men. but
they will in character average very well
with anv other class OF men, except. per-
haps. ministers. The patriotic. bigh-
toned politician should be accorded as
much onor as the physician, the lawyer,
or the scientist, and heusually receives it.
There are political tricksters, just as
there are quacks in the medical profes.
: ION. and shysters In the legal, and dis
honorable merchants and tradesmen, but

the country be It said, they rarely attain
% prominence.
The late Horatio Seymour was a typi-
cal politician. He loved politics not Tor
the trumphs it might bring, or as a means
OF acquiring power and wealth, but be-
cause it was a science having for its ob-
iect the highest temporal good OF man
kind. He was the writer OF an article,
which found It's way into print several
years ago, In which he avo,s ed his liking
