Levi P. Morton's Honesty.

At the beginning Of the civil war the firm OF
Morton Il Grinncll, of which Levi T. Morton
was head partner, suspended aud paid Il livi-
dend of fifty per cent. A few years later Mr..
Morton invited his former creditors to Il din
ner party. and placed under each plate cheek
for the balance of the old debt with full inter
est.
These debts We're all discharged by law
There was no legal obligation to pay them
Indeed, many would have held that no moral
duty was involved, but Levi +. Morton, with Il
moral sense which placed him quite above any
petty quibblng about his creditors having tax
Ell their risks, paid every dollar he owed.
That is the kind of Il man the Republican
party and the people of this country like tc
honor. (The IN, W Press

Maine Matters.
NEWS AND GOSSIP FROM ALL OVER THE STATE


Brad>treet saws: No summer resort on the
Atlantic coast has had more phenomenal
growth than Bar Harbor, and real estate values
there have increased or late with astonishing
rapity. Mount Desert island was seldom
visited by tourists late as 1870, and perman-
ent summer residence was unhcard of. Land
which twenty years ago was not worth more
than 800 IN acre is now sold for the enormous
price of over $4,000 an acre. The best sites
for dwellings have been all taken.
This remarkable development of once barren
soil has of course directed the attention of in
Ne>tors ard spectators to the possibilities of
other points on the Maine coast, and no less
than ten land companies have been organized
to bring into market summer town sites on the
coast OF Maine or OH the western edge Of New
Brunswick.
All of the Name land stocks are listed on the
Boston stock exchange, and one or two of them
have been. or soon will be, listed in New York.
Trading ill them is at times very active. AT

GLADSTONE On lNGEh5 OIL. - ! ne
grand old man Gladstone may be
in his dotage, as some Of his ene-
mics assert, but be does not exhib-
it any sign Of mental failure in his
writings, his pen being as keenly
sarcastic, and his arguments as log
ical as ever. In the May number
Of the sNorth American Review"
Mr. Gladstone has q paper on Col
onel Ingersoll's attacks on Chris
tianity. Seldom, if ever before,
has the great American infidel been
so completely laid out as BY this
old man who has found time. amid
his political labors, to write this
defense of the faith in which he
was born and has been reared, and
which seems to permeate his whole
system. Gladstone shows how In
gersoll makes points with the
thoughtless and superficial, by taxi
ing up the weaknesses of limited
number Of protesting Christians,
and parading them as an argument
against the great body of believers.
Gladstone points out how the inf
del apostle picks out the misdeeds
of the black sheep, and flaunts
them as examples of the doings of
the whole flock; how he takes a part
of the church, and separates it from
the rest, and then insists that the
part is sample of the whole. I'M
der the magic spell of his wonder
ful voice and cunning pen, people
rarely stop to consider Ingersolls
methods as pointed out above but
when they do SO halt and reflect
the absurdity of his way is at once
seen. The English Christian states
man is unacquainted with Colonel
Ingersoll, except through the lat
ter's writings, but the former has
read the infdel Alright. lie says
"Col. Ingersoll writes with rare
and enviable brilliancy, but also
with an impetus which he seems
unable to control. Denunciation,
sarcasm and inyectiye may be said
to constitute the staple of his work;
and if argument or some favorable
admission here and there peep out
for moment, he soon leaves the
dry and barren heights for his favo-
rite and more luxuriant galloping
grounds beneath"
What better description than this
could be given of Ingersoll Those
who have listened TO him, and those
who have read his writings, will APP
preciate the correctness of the pic
ture, The effort Of Ingersoll and
his imitators is not to induce men
to cool and deliberate reasoning; on
the contrary, the aim seems to be,
by oratorical shouting, by bold and
reckless assertion, by the blare Of
trumpets, as it were, to cause men
to forget that they have reasoning
faculties, and to thoughtlessly, if |
not madly, join in the wild and
meaningless hurrahs which are in
terpreted as endorsement and APP
prevail.
Mr.. Gladstone has performed |
many services for his race in the
various fields of human thought
md activity, and now be has ad-
led another in employing his pow
'rful voice in protest against the
SIN of the infidel.
