Peculisrities Of the Anus.

Inasmuch as there are no family
names, no village, tribal, or national
rights to be respected, there is nothing
approximating 10 father right or
mother right. Or perhaps Il would be
more exact to say that, inasmuch as
women are only recognized as servants
throughout their whole lives, and as
mothers as soon as they have reached
the proper age, the personality Of the
whole family is sunk in that of the
husband and father while he lives.
When he dies he is at once and ALSO
lutely forgotten, and each surviving
member OF his family pursues an en-

Peculiar Idea About Religion.

A student deeply versed in e~cclesias-
heal matters recently advanced a very
peculiar idea while conversing with a
friend. He said that the established
religion OF a country owed its princi-
pal doctrines less 10 faith than to the
conditions OF its climate and surround
ings. He cited the beautiful religion
of the natives of India, who would not
eat anything that had once lived, be-
cause, while all could take away life,
only One could give it. He argued
that a religious belief like that could
only have its origin in an intensely
hot climate like that OF India, where
animal food is not necessary 10 sus-
tain life. Amongthe Laplanders such
a religion could never obtain. because
Il was absolutely necessary for the
inhabitants Of SO high a latitude to
keep the warmth Of the body up to q
certain heat. Nothing but animal fat
could do that-New York Sun.

they would not be collected. Then he

away the old reproach. All the argu.

all the facts prove that the arguments

longer lives, and yet they grow bald
earlier, and. Moreover, it is the

THE PRESENT DAYS ARE THE BEST DAYS.

Everything in I'VE olden time" was not
quite as lovely as the pessimist of to-day
would fain have US believe. In fact, we are
led to conclude by such light as we have of
the history of the imme late past, that
these days are better than any preceding
them in all material respects We are
doubtless too much given to holding up
those who and the things which are gone,
without duly and fully approaching what
we have with and about us, and this pre-
vailing too much makes US anything but
good people that is, as good as we ought to
be. 1t is only by properly realizing the
great and in some instances sublime benefits
by which we are surrounded that we are
entitled to a continuance of the favOrs of
providence, albeit the ones who now and
then claim that the old days were the
worst days-that the time when stage
coaches or slower conveyances took US
from point TO point and tallow
candles were the chief means of illumina-
ton at night were long way behind the
times we have now-are often looked upon
as scoffers if not to a great extent I'M
believers. 1t is perhaps as well to let those
who SO look upon them enjoy their unhappy
disposition; their circle is as narrow as
their minds capacity and their souls habi-
tation.
Occasionally we hear of defaulter in
an office of trust or profit, or one that has
betrayed the confidence of the people in
some other way. 1t is no more common
now than it has ever been. Ever since the
days of JUDAS IsCARIoT certain class of
men have been betrayers of trusts and the
line of these creatures extends all the way
from rulers, magistrates and judges to the
common and despised spotter who sells his
little outward seeming of humanity for a
mere pittance. And such departures from
rectitude are more severely dealt
with now and the perpetrators less
tolerated and subjected to harsher treat
ment than in the days agone. After his
betrayal of JESUS CHRIST, JUDAS could not
have found a roof TO shelter him in any
civilized place in this age, nor could he long
have endured the treatment that would have
been melted out to him even if a friendly
[but modernl vigilance committee had not
taken him out between two days and sus-
pended him between heaven and earth

PERTINENT QUERIES.

The New York Commercial Advertiser, in
speaking of the TANNER extravaganza and
the persistent raids on the treasury by ex-
soldiers and their families and friends, asks
some pertinent questions, among them the
following: as it d part of patriotism that
those who went to war should gather TO-
gether after a quarter of century and
murmur that the cold cash value of their
services is bigger than the sum allowed
them? Is there not something humihating
in the sight, and is net such self-assertion
more likely to bring the name of patriot
into disreprte than honor? What kind of
an American is he who offers his life for
liberty, and then clamors the rest Of his
days for public supportl With a record of
$500, 0oo, 900 spent in pensions since the war,
and nearly $1,000, 900 more pledged al
ready, is this land to be stigmatized as ungen-
ereus by those to whom the bounty has been
giveni There is something supremely I'M
dignifed, distasteful and unpatriotic in
the attitude of TANNER and the grabbers
back of him.
How will the old soldiers answer these
questions How can they answer them
The people of the United States gave their
soldiers credit for patriotism, and we never
tireof Boosting of the noble, self-sacrificing
patriots who went at their country's call,
and valuing their lives at much less than
duty, boldly marched to the front to save
the union. The suggestion that there was
anything mercenary in the manifestation
of heroism would have been resented with
violence by the brave men who shouldered
their muskets for the cause Of the republic.
But as the years roll round and the war
grows old, it seems that patriotism is for
gotten in the clamor for money. There is
a steady cry for more cash, and at confer
ences Of ex-soldiers there is almost denun-
citation of the nation, which has done
so much, because of a disposition
to retain some of the public treasure for
other uses than the payment of extrava
CANT pensions. If this thing shall continue
much longer the greed of the One-time
soldiers asserting itself with the same in
creasing ratio of the past FIVE years, we
fear the defenders of the union will be
made to pose before their countrymen and
the world as the most mercenary soldiers
who ever bore arms.
In behalf of their own reputation and
for tho preservation of their self-respect,
the ex-soldiers should call halt; they
should be content with the willing gener-
osity of the nation, and not, by hungry
appeals, compel people to think that they
were brave and patriotic because they ex-
pected to be rewarded with the substance
Of the great and rich republic.

the Grand Army people know that TANNER
is too recklessly generous with the peoples
money, although he has expended S35, co.,
600 during the last two months-Sl0, 000, 900
more than was expended during the same

attorney furnished the money with which
Mr.. TANNER was enabled to pay 800 day

dollars in fees" So, of course, it is not
thought that any charge Of dishonesty or
berversity Of motive could hold for
moment against the commissioner, and
there is no idea that he will be removed
under any such implication. He will prob
ably be given chance to resign.
President HARRISON is a reasonably
clean and honest man, as Republican poll
ticians go, and nobody can bring himself to
believe that the well-meaning President
approves of TANNERS course or. willingly
sanctions the extravaganza which in this
instance threatens the nation with bank
rUptcy. HARRISON knows that his COM
missioner is not the right man for the
place, but we do not believe the President
thinks he has the courage to remove the
offender. The Grand Army having come
out squarely as a political organization and
acknowledged it's alliance with the Repub-
lican party, it would be a courageous Re
publican President who would dare bounce

applauded by the G. A. r. We shall be-

AND WHY NOTs

Minister THAYER, who represents the
United States at the court of the King Of
Belgium, reports to the department of
state that feeling is developing-in that
country in favor of tax on American i'm
ports Belgium imports large supplies of
American farm products, and the minister
fears that in the event of the imposition of
the proposed tax our farmers would be
driven out of that market, as they would
not be able to successfully compete with
the untaxed European farmers. Atpresent
the trade in certain products is controlled
by Americans, but when tax shall be i'm
posed our producers will have to go else
where.
THAYER's apprehension is probably well
grounded. What he fears would most nat
urally take place. That it has not occurred
already is somewhat surprising. The
United States tax the products of Belgium
which are brought to this country, and tax
them so heavily that very few of such pro-
ducts can be sold here. BY compelling the
Belgium manufacturers TO reduce the price
of their goods more than one-half before
they can be sold in this market by the
S de of American ''protected' articles, we
can pretty effectually keep the Belgians
out. 1t may be said that the Belgians do
not have to pay this tax, which is borne by
the American consumers. This is true
enough, but the effect is the same on the
foreigner-he is kept out of the market.
If Belgium does not retaliate, it is because
the nation possesses none of the passions,
prejudices and desire to ''get event. which
actuate men. The Belgians could not be
blamed if they were to discriminate against
American goods and products by imposing
prohibitory import tax or duty, the same
as the United States inflict upon those who
try to trade in this country.
Minister THAYER is wasting his words,
however, In expressing his fears to this ad
ministration. The protected interests in
America, by money, fraud and deception,
carried the election last fall, and their sin
terests'' do not propose that any of the per-
sonal advantages which they bought and
paid for shall be taken from them for at
least four years.
