Temperance and Regularity.

Temperance IS superior to regularity,
and there is nothing regular in nature;
everything is governed by circumstances
and environment. The animal, vegetable
and mineral kingdoms are irregular; they
may run by the season, but not to the
minute or the hour. Eat the right thing
at the right time, follow the dictates OF
your appetite, and eat and drink with
moderation. This Is the kind of regu-
larity | observe. / never have taken any
note of the hour or minute for taking
meals or doing anything else-circum-
stances control me- You may inquire
what moderation is; and may say what is
moderation for one may be immoderate
for another. Very true. The answer to
this is that If persons do not know what
temperance and moderation are, it is their
misfortune. The plain truth is, that few
persons ever find out how to eat and
drink until age overtakes them and it be-
comes too late to reform. Wilson Mac
Donald in Herald of Health.

Americans. Poultry and PORK are the

are abundantly used; and pastries are
made in an enormous variety, but always
of easily digcstible ingredients.

A Governor of Greenland.

The governor of the Danish colony Of
Greenland receives by the ship which
brings him his annual supplies, copies Of
the daily papers of Copenhagen for the
year preceding. He arranges these pa
pers in the order of their dates, and then
quietly and calmly reads paper each day,
just as though it was fresh from the
press. He is sometimes strongly tempted
to peer into futurity by reading some pa
pers ahead when he comes across interest
ing news; but he resists the temptation,
no matter how anxious he Is to know the
fate of some measure. One days paper
for each day is his rule; and so at the end
of the year he is thoroughly familiar with
the news of the preceding year, He says
he Is just as happy as though he pulled
each days paper off tho prcss.-New York
Tribune.
Col. Robert G.. Ingersoli's Idea.
Most people regard those who violate
the law with hatred. They do not take
into consideration tho circumstances.
They do not believe that man is perDetu-
ally acted upon They throw out Of con-
sideration the effect of poverty, of neces-
sity, and, above all, of opportunity. For
these reasons they regard criminals with
feelings of revenge. They wish to see
them punished They want them impris-
oned or hanged They do not think the
law has been vindicated unless somebody
has been outraged. Hook at these things
from an entirely diferent point Of view.
| regard these people who are in the
clutches OF the law not only as unfortu-
mates, but, for the most part, as victims
You may call them victims Of nature, on
of nations, or Of governments; it makes no
difference, they are victims Under the
same circumstances the very persons who
punish them would be punished. But
whether the criminal is victim or not,
the honest man, the industrious man, has
the right to defend the product Of his
labor. Ee who sowS and plows should
be allowed to reap, and he who endeavors
to take from him his harvest Is what we
call criminal; and it is the business of
society to prs..ect tho honest from the dis
honest. New York World Interview.

THE CHIEEJUSTCESHIP.

Of all the appointments which it may fall to
the lot of a President to make, that oil Chiei-
Justice is the most important and attracts the
largest share of attention. An incompetent
Cabinet officer may be replaced, but Chef
.Jnstice remains for life, and though the dis
tinction between himself and his associates Is
nominal rather than real, he stands in the pub
lie eve as the chief figure in judicial system
which is the admiration of the world. The
duty which the death of Chief-Justice Waite
has deyolyed upon Mr. Cleveland is, therefore,
ono of vast importance as well as one rarely
confronted by a President. Every patriotic
man will be glad to see him discharge it in The
proper spirit. selecting the appointee solely for
his ability to fill the place in a manner worthy
of the great men who have preceded him In III
and IL the President will do this we believe
every patriotic man will be glad to give him
credit for il.
Every reader of the newspapers must have
been struck with the fact that, so far as the
newspaper mentions afford any indication,
there is scarcity of good material TO choose
from. Are most of the great lawyers Repub-
licans? No other conclusion seems possible,
after reading the lists Of names OF men recon-
mended for the post There are a few of suffi-
cient stature to be considered, but most Of them
are lawyers whom the public would be sur
prised TO see elevated TO the bench of State
court, or politicians and of a mediocre kind at
that, the mere mention of whose names seems
grotesque. That there is not larger proper
ton of eligible Democrats is partly due. no
doubt to the fact that appointees TO the Fed
eral bench have been taken from the other
party for more than quarter of century,
leaving to the Democrats only the State courts
in which to win judicial regulations. But even
among practising lawyers the disproportion
seems equally marked. Any man having even
a superficial acquaintance with the profession
could probably select three Republicans worthy
to be considered in connection with this great
Office, where he would find one Democrat. One
evidence of this lack of good material Is seen In
the mention of more than one Republican, or
former Republican, whom the President is
urged to prefer by reason of conspicuous abil-
ity and fitness leaving minor political consider
ations out Of view. But this is hardly likely.
The President will probably prefer to appoint
Democrat and If he will be governed by patri-
otto rather than partisan motives, he can no
doubt find one who will not be unworthy OF
the place.
II the President will take a large view OF
the subject, we feel sure he will be met bali
way by the Senate The opposition of Repub-
lican Senators to the confirmation of Mr.. Lamar
was from sense of duty. 1t is not likely that
after learning the lesson he did In that contest,
the President will raise similar issue a second
time. We hope to see him make nomination
which the Senate can promptly and gladly
confirm.

MR.. GOsCHEN'S SUCCESS.

The Conservatives have in Mr.. Goschen
financier of original power. His second budget
speech shows courage fertility OF resource
and mastery Of all the intricate questions OF
English finance. His dexterity in contriying
to take off another penny from the income tax
is remarkable, in the face of the serious en-
barrassments which the Governments own
legislation has created. The conversion Of
the National debt which has been undertaken
makes 1t necessary for the Treasury to have
larger balance than has been carried for many
years. The Local Government BILL moreover,
will involve the diversion from the Exchequer
of classes of revenue which have ordinarily
been available as, an Offset for large expendi-
lures. A cautious but not brilliant financier, as
Sir Stafford Northcote was in bis day. would
not have ventured to lower the income tax in
these circumstances. Mr.. Goschen reserves the
balance requisite for providing for the pay
ment of bondholders who may not be willing
to take the new consols, and also sets aside
S5,26O,OOO for the local authorities, yet sue
ceeds In reducing the income tax. He does this
by imposing new taxes on bottled wines, pleas
ure and race horses, carts, stock transfers con-
tract notes and the issue of new companies.
Some of these taxes will not be popular, nota-
bly, those on CARTS but the penny taken from
the income tax will compensate for the vexa-
ton of new burdens. Between one-ffth and
one-sixth of the revenues OF the Exchequer are
derived from taxation of incomes. popular
budget il one that relieves taxpayers from the
weight of this direct burden. Mr. Goschen, in
this sense, persists in having popular budget
He took off the penny last year at the expense
Of the payments to the sinking fund for the re-
duction of the debt He relieves taxpayers
this year by rearranging the stamp duties and
coupling fast horses with wines as luxuries
which should be paid for.
Mr.. Goschen has been highly favored by cir
cumstances since he took his seat on the Treas
ury bench. The United Kingdom has enjoyed
immunity from those foreign campaigns and
costly preparations for war, which added heav-
lily to the financial burdens Of the Government
during Mr.. Gladstone's last two terms. There
have been no extraordinary expenses, and there
has been gradual improvement in trade dur
ing the last year. as shown by the large increase
in the revenue from stamps. A year ago MIR.
Goschen took so discouraging a view of the
revenue resources Of the Nation that he felt
justified In cutting down the payments to the
sinking fund and relaxing the effort to reduce
tho National debt. This year he finds signs OF !
elasticity in National finances. Several large
classes of revenuc including spirits, Incomes
and stamps, have shown remarkable gains, and
enabled him 10 accumulate handsome sur

It has been THE TRIBUNE's custom for
period of years to lay before its readers the
earliest draft of all important international
conventions while they arc still considered
State secrets and guarded as such. To-day IL
prints the full text of Secretary Bayards nc"
treaty with China concerning the immigration
of Chinese iaborers. This treaty is now locked
up in the executive sessions of the Senate. IL
provides for the absolute and unqualified re-
striction Of Chinese labor immigration. II
gives TO Chinese merchants, students, teachers
and travellers all the privileges accorded citi-
zens of other nations, except the right Oh
American naturalization. 1t affirms the Sc
curity of person and property to such laborers
as are now here and permits their return TO
America, after visits to China, upon certain
specified conditions. 1t denies the legal la
bility of the United States for such damages as
are claimed heretofore to have been suffered
by Chinese subjects as the result of labor nots
on the Pacific Coast, but stipulates, neverthe-
less. rs a token of consideration for China that
s27e,e19 75 shall be paid to the Chinese Min
ister for the relief of such claimants. The
President makes his usual appeal in behalf OF
the treaty.
