A Lesson to be Learned.

From the Indianapolis News
In Chicago court the other day. Hronek,
the anarchist, was asked if he believed in God.
II have never seen him." was his reply Here
upon the Chicago Herald makes this trenchant
application:
"Hronek and me ny others of his ilk are agnos-
tics in matters aside from religion also. They
come here. and. seeing no sovereign. refuse to
believe that there is one. This is the mistake
OF their lives. There is a sovereign here, and
the Herald hopes it will not be necessary to
hang and imprison many more of the doubters
before the whole fraternity will recognize the
fact"
We do not know Of anything that can add to
the strength of that. Anarchists, honest or
malicious, should consider this: That whether
the ills they complain of are real or imaginary
society will ever protect itself. Society is the
aggregation, or the expression of the aggrega-
ton. Of individuals. The first law of the indi-
vidual is that of self-defense. 1t is similarly
the first law Of society. Against anarchists at
tacks, therefore, there will be at all times and
under all circumstances, the exercise Of self
defense. Society will not wait to adjust the equi-
ties In the case. 1t will strike first for its iife
and settle the rights and wrongs of the ques-
ton afterward. 1t is thus that anarchists are
in double sense the worst possible enemies of
society, for they retard all efforts at ameliora-
ton, and perhaps in this country we may suffer
from their severity for time from the very
analogy of reasoning which the Chicago paper
points out. The desperate quoted doesn't be-
lleve In God because he has never seen him.
1t is rather difficult then, not to think that
that sort of reasoning would lead to the con-
clusiOn that there is no sovereign here simply
the case anarchy ought to have shorter shrift
here than anywhere else

Common POliteness.

1ruu fnHauelpIl3 lluleS-
Common politeness is very simple; very easy
very cheap. 1t costs nothing in effort; it is nc
tax upon either the physical or mental powers
it is always gratefully received by polite people
and it grati6es giver as well as receiver. II
makes all within the range Of its influence
happier and better, and it smoothes many OF
the rougher paths of life.
Many intelligent and well-bred people are
often oncivil for want OF thoughtfulness. and
they sometimes give good reason for offense,
or for the assumption that they are uncivii.
when they do not mean to be guilty of such an
offense. Such persons are usually understoo
and excused by their intimate acquaintance
but 1t is misfortune to yield to the habit OF
even apparent rudeness. 1t often grieyes peo-
pie whose respect is valuable, and it never &C.
cOmplishes any good.
The gravest complaints about incivility often
come against those who assume to be exem.
plars OF society and good manners, and they
are only too often just. So common is it for q
courtesy extended when gentleman gives hi.
seat TO lady in street car that many gentle
men have abandoned that particular act OF
clvility except in cases where they know the
lady and they certainly have great provocation
Ii ID not at all rare to see ladies Of social dis.
out the semblance of acknowledgment, and in
all such cases the gentleman must feel like re-
senting the objectionable rudeness, for it is moi
simply want Of civilty; it is the positive rude
ness that can be associated only with vulgarity.
No true lady ever committed such a breach OF
common politeness, and it il only Just to say
that, as rule, only those who pose as ladies
commit such fragrant offenses against good
breeding.
The true lady or gentleman never forgets
common politeness to all with whom they come
In contact; and the surest sign Of the social
pretender is displayed in public incivility te
Others. The genuine lady or gentleman IL al
ways 50 well assured of her or his position thai
they dignity it by courtesy TO all who merit it
regardless of condition or circumstance, while
the upstart, uncertain Of position, repeats upor
others the snubs he or she has received in the
effort to climb into social recognition.
The true lady and gentleman are ever polite
and courteous to all when those admirable
qualities can be exhibited, and when those st
tributes are not exhibited on all proper COCA
sions, il il always safe to assume that vulgarity
Is masquerading In the'thin guise Of the gentle
ness that ever marks the lady and the gentle
man.

Accuses the Whisky Trust.
WHAT THE CHICAGO DIsTILLERY PROPRIETOR SAYS
nF


James d. Lynch, one Of the proprietors
of the Chicago distillery which was dam
aged by dynamite, says he believes it to be
the work of the whisky trust. 1--WE are
not in the trust" he said, land
that organization has on numerous occasions
threatened to do us up. To show you the
desperate character of the deed let me call
your attention to the fact that there were Is 600
barrels of whisky stored under the roof
that was torn open, and if these had been ig-
nited terrible fire would have been
added to the horrors Of the explosion.
One of the representatives of the trust
was here shortly after the explosion, but the
feeling among the men against his organization
was SO great that he had to skip out for fear of
being violently dealt with
Mr.. ]. d. Lynch. manager of the Shufeldt
company, offers a reward of S25 to the person
who threw the dynamite on the dstillery build
ing, for the name of the man who employed
him to do the work, or such information as
viii lead to the detection and arrest of the par
ties responsible for the outrage.
The members of the whisky trust ridicule
the idea that the attempt to destroy the prop
erty was the work, directly or indirectly. Of
their organization.

Educated, but Not Always a Gentleman

Educated, but Not Always Gentleman.
From the Toronto Week.
A keen observer OF our young men cannot
but be struck with tendency on the part Of a
great many Of them. at least, to disregard the
small courtesies of Iife-the intangible yet very
perceptible little things that make the man a
gentleman. Many persons contend that out
ward manner is very secondary consideration
if the head is well stocked with knowledge, and
that if young man has the facility to get on
in the world it is a matter of very little i'm
portance if his manners do not model them
selves after a Chesterfield. That this idea is
prevalent Is proved by the great number of
well-educated men-men of ability and power
who, however, one would never accuse of be-
ing gentlemen, who, clever and with no lac k
of brains, are painfully deficient in good breed
ing. With no intentional lapses, they are awk-
ward, bumptious, presuming. even vulgar. In
most countries an educated man and a gentle
man are almost synonymous terms On this
side OF the Atlantic they by no means always
belong to the same man. Educational advan-
tages are within reach of all classes of people
people who have the benefit Of no home train
ing for their manners or any cultivated persons
among their acquaintances.
One fact is true the world over, that where,
by some freak OF nature, man shows himself
superior to his own class in intelligence and
talents, he Is never content to stay on the lower
stave Of the ladder. Many persons assert that
the self-made man is always the best. In point
of ability he proves without doubt that he
has within him that which has determined his
fitness for the place he has earned for himself
But because man by his brains, energy and
pluck carves out his own fortune, putting him
self in prominent position, is it not very de-
sirable that he should also cultivate the cour-
tesies of life so that the talent be not hidden
by roughness and uncultured bearing? Be-
cause man is a successful lawyer it does not
justify him to say that he can be his own tailor,
or that ill-httins clothes, if belonging to him,
and of his own make, are as suitable as those of
good cut. So it is with the intellectual giant
who takes no heed of his manners. He may
learn much from less talented people, whe are,
nevertheless, his superiors in many things
Desirable as it may be for young men to shun
the extravaganza OF the aesthete, and to de-
spise the shams Of society, they cannot afford
to neglect the courtesies of life; and they do
well who, while devoting their energies to
mathematics and the classics, pay attention to
the cultivation in manners. 1t is while young
that manners are made; the most strenuous
efforts will not remedy or eradicate in after
life the gaucherms formed in youth.

Wedding Presents.
From the Philadelphis News.

frOm the PnlladeIpnla News
One Of the most foolish, extravagant, and
hypocritical customs Of to-day is the habit of
giving wedding presents. Hundreds of invita-
tions are sent to acquaintances, as well as rela-
tives and friends, and your presence is not so
much cared for as your presents. This is surely
a successful way of begging fancy household
articles. Many OF your presents, being dupli-
Gated, are sold or exchanged for other more
useful" at a sacrifice.
The largeness of a mans heart, the fairness
Of his pocketbook. and his social standing are
all determined by the extravaganza of the pres
ent. Whether il can be afforded or not people
vie with each other, and think they must do as
others do, for they would rather be out Of the
world than out of the fashion. Custom makes
slaves of us all. Many wedding presents are
never paid for; others are bought on the in
stallInent plan-dollar down, dollar a week.
We have frequently heard brides and grooms
speak OF their presents in way which showed
that the estimates of the various friendships
were based on the value of the gift. Speaking
with delight Of the generousness Of the one
and condemning the unexpected meanness of
the other. We have heard many men, and es-
pecially poor-salaried swell society men, be-
wall the great expense Of this custom. Gifts
should be tokens Of love and good wishes, and
not forced by custom. II should be n free-wiil
Offering and not universally expected con-
formity to an arbitrary unwritten law of soci-
ETY., under pain Of being condemned "a stingy
fellow" Dare to break away from this hypoc-
risy.
