THE CHICAGO WEEKLY NEWS. and
LINCOLN 20. LEADER, / year $2.75
AN AGE OF CRIME.

Albeit religionists insist upon ii
that the cause Of Christ is growing
steadily and stronger day by day,
the daily papers prove that Satan
is more strongly entrenched than
in the dark ages. " Not "a metro
polilan paper reaches Our tSbIc
that has not page or more OF
criminal news, intelligence of mur-
der assassination and crime OF ev-
cry conceivable character. Judas
was held up some 1853 years ago
Rs a type of a rogue be-
cause lie betrayed his Master for
thirty pieces of silver, but every
week news is flashed upon the
wires that betrayals and murders
are taking place where the consid.
erations amount to less than thirty
coppers.
But the most glaring criminal
items are those of enlhezzler5 5-men
holding responsible positions in
bar KS or other reporitories OF
wealth, who take advantage of
reposed confidence and withdraw
ing the funds skip out for Canada
with more than the alacrity exhib
tied by deserters, bounty jumpers
and those afraid OF draft during
our late intsrnecIne war. Say
what one will it is mAlnmon not
Christ that is :he God of our latter
dav saints, more, even, than in
the days of Judas. And the worst
of it is that il is through hypocritl-
cal professions of christianity that
tho opportunities to swlndlc, EN-
bezzle, ard purIoin are secured. In
nearly every case the particulars
wind up with the declaration that
the absqua:ulater WAS devout
member of the church and liberal
contributor to its maintainance.
How = man pretending to be a
member of a church cf God can be
a thief, is bewlldering to an outsid-
er. In their intercourse such must
necessarily hear much of the GER
tainty Of death and the grave, and
one would naturally conclnde that
al times they would draw upon the
imagination and fancy seeing them
selves stretched upon the cooling
board and overspread with a
winding sheet" the head that
wrought, the heart that prompted,
the hands which manipulated the
treasure, to say nothing of the i'm
morta pat of the system which
had gained nothing, but lost every
thing in the game.
"God" and mammon" are old
as the Scriptures, but deny it who
may, "mammon' is served and
"God' defied in this age as never
before. Our people live as though
life were perreninl and death a PIC
ture ofdiscared fancy. Would that
it were otherwise, but as an hum
Bile chronicler of unhidden, congest
ed tects, spite OF rhetorical or theol
ogical rhodementade, facts are
facts. As the eastern poet express
ed it, lis is as it tiz, and 1t CAM
DO no tixzer." "

You might as well go out into the
cemetery and read the riot act to one
of Barnum's hyenas which is devouring
the body of your child that it dragged
from the grave, as to ask one of those
heIIish saloon keel pers to obey a liquor
law. You mustn't think bad of me for
calling these soonndrels by their given
names; and because stand before my
fellow cOuntrymen denouncing this
helIish business and the helIish men
engaged in it, and some of them church
members-GOd save the mask they
say I'm a crank. Yes, am crank /
thank God for the day in which / was
born a crank l feel contempt for the
hypocritical church member who has a
big demijohn in his cellar. If there's
anything l dispise it's bottle-sucking
church member. He's a disgrace to
himself, to the church and to humanity
The devil wouldn't let him walk through
hell without putting a "Spotter" on
his track. I'd rather be a crank than
one of these old Jug wumps.

UNWRITTEN POEMS,
It Is not every gentle sImmer breeze
That cOOls some dreamer's brow.
Nor blows in vain because far-waYlng
Alone NAV feel IL now

It is not every gentle slmmer breeze
That cools some dreamer 3 brow.
Nor blows In vain because far-waYlng
Alone may feel 1t now.
The song birds note that thrills no listening
ear
Is worshipfully sweet,
And flowers as bright In untrod woods appear
As those that kiss our feet.
Fair shines the sun on unfreQGented lands,
With none to bless Its rays,
And sparkling waters wash the diamond sands
or sailless ocean bays.
Vast cataracts, in thund'roua volume, rush
PFecipitOusly down,
Meath stretched prismatIc arch whose rosy
blush
Beams needless of renown.
Grand Nature's prodIgalitY of wealth,
Superfluous alls the earth;
Her rich Rlembic's splendOrs smile In stealth
Miraculous Of birth.
Thus in that richer world within the heart
Live thoughts that meier are heard
The consciousness Of that which is apart
From any answering word.
Unwrltten and unsald is oft our best,
Our sweetest thought unsung;
Nor is It wholly lost because It rest
Unknown to human tongue.
The soul has poems set to dreamful tunes,
Which jealOusl y 1t keeps,
And only with its inner self COmmunes
When other music sleeps.
Sweet songs grand epics, tender, or sublime,
Beyond the common reach
Have lived and died, without place in time,
Nor felt the aid of speech
And oft some great, poetic, noble soul,
Unspeakable In fruit,
Falls faintIng, short Of aspirations goal,
And WOTdlessly is mute.
JOHN AlbrO,

The following bit of sound reason,
ing is from an old gentleman friendi
"Wben God created heaven and earth,
He did a certain amount of work each
day. He pronounced His work good
Each days work was Of a higher order
than that of the preceding day, On
the sixth and last day that He worked
He made man. From this fact / in
fer that He meant man to be the best
and noblest of all His works. Now,
if you will notice every living creature
closely, you must admit that not one
Of those which God created previous
to the creation Of man, has desire
for Intoxicating liquors, nor is it
necessary to their health and hsppi-
ness. Why, then, is it necessary for
man when God made him on q higher
ordor and intended him to be better
in every way than The lower animalsp'

Massachusetts is beginning to rank
high as beeS-drinking State. Accord
lug to the International Revenue De-
partment, the revenue from liquor
manufactured in Massachusetts, for
the fiscal year just ended amounts to
$96O,942. The collector at Boston
says: This represents considerable
over 100000 barrels of malt liquors
containing thirty one gallons each.
The population Of the State in round
numbers is 100000. This would
give every man, woman and child half
barrel apiece. But 100000 barrels
of malt liquors are imported into the
State every year. This wouId raise
the amount to twenty-tbree gallons
per capita, or 36s balf.piRts-a
