NOT CRANKs, BUT MISTAKEN.

1t was very absurd, of course, for
those people in Virginia, New England
and elsewhere last week tOlay aside the
avocations of life and look for the con-
elusion of the existing order on earth.
They are freely denounced as igno-
ramuses and Scoffed at as fanatics and
fools. The imputation of lack of in
telligence is inaccurate and unwar-
ranted. None have been more constant
and devoted students of sacred litera-
ture. They have attempted to pene-
trate its mysteries, and failed to evolve
the right conclusions. 1t is the general
faith of Christendom that this planet
will, at some period, undergo a c0nvul-
sion that will destroy most, if not all
existences upon it. Some of the ablest
orthodox diyineS believe that the end is
not distant, while others find in the de-
velopment of the race and the con-
dition of its inhabitants grounds for
disbelief in any speedy wind-up.
The more literal interpreters of
Holy Writ are, as a rule. those who
think the final catastrophe is near. Most
religious people hold some dogmas or
practice some rites that seem very alb
surd to others. 1t is very difficult to
draw line for reason and intelligence
in treating of matters that reach out be-
yond sight. These Adventists are pecul-
lar, but that they are specially fanati-
cal or ignorant is hardly more true of
them than most other people who make
mistakes. Their notable error is the as
sumption that any special waiting for
the end is desirable. No more prepare
ton is needful for it than for the transit
of the individual from ordinary life,
which can be certainly computed within
definite limits. If the world were to con-
clude its career tomorrow, it were bet
ter that the fact should be kept even
from the morning papers, if that were
possible. The better view is that the
world is still far from the zenith of its
career. 1t will be good while yet be-
fore it becomes like the moon, dead

! The following, taken from a great

be, however, some doubt as to their
ability to do this" That is to say, the
Washburn mills are sold, but the pur-

THE TITLE FREAK.

The exact figures are not stated that
the California nab0b paid for foreign
title for his adopted daughter, but they
were diseouragingly high. 1t would be
convenience if there could be a set
tied scale of prices. Some people are
disposed to make moral grimaces at the
mercenary aspect of these transactions,
but they are faStidious. Most any kind
of a title would balance the scales
against young female who puts her
self upon the market. The shabbiest
sort Of male attachment to the title
would be an equivalent and fit pur-
chase for the woman who becomes a
matrimonial commodity. The surpris-
ing feature in the transaction is that a
man of reputed shrewdness as finaIl-
cier, and possessed of some conceptions
not entirely of the Shoddy arlstocracy
order, should be willing to pay millions
of dollars for a designation un-Ameri-
can, and worn by male specimen
morally and socially putrid. There are
freaks not found in the dime museums.

stated just how many deputies he was
to support out of the 5000, less 10 per
cent. He was so captious that he kicked
at these tie rms, and said that as far as
he was concerned the Office might re-
main in the hands of the lady who was
filling it ''with honor TO the government
and credit to herself" The letter of
the declining gentleman to the depart
ment is spicy ard en- tertaihing. He
doesn't think it quite becoming to the
government to dispense its patronage
in this manner, and law or two in the
way should have some rec Ognition. No
doubt there will be an exhibition of
virtuols indignation about the White
mouse. MALONE will come up and
disclaim responsibility, and some
fellow will get the Office who
never writes letters that reach the
public. If all the facts in regard to the
use of patronage and Doodle in the Vir-
GINA campaign were made public, few
reputable Republicans would like to
look in that direction. Even the old
theory that any agencies were justifia-
bic to beat the bad Democrats would
hardly be accepted as the mantle for
the case. OF course, HARRISON remem-
bers that he was an altitudinouS civil
service reformer when the Democrats
were in, but these practical people
about him make it hard for him to re-
member anything. But in this Virginia
case, some one potent in the appointing
Office must be responsible. The admin
iStration can only relieve itself by max
ing scapegoat of one in influential
station. The public mind cannot easily
avoid the conclusion that the most fla
grant violations of official deceney have
their parallel in the use of government
patronage IN the MALONE campaign.

SAMPLE CASES.

That MALONE campaign in Virginia
is bringing to view various phases of
what is spoken of by Republican lead
ers as practical politics. The civil serv-
ice policy and some of the laws relating
to it are getting badly disfgured. If
the campaign were to go on much longer
and MahOniSm were to have larger ex-
hibition, it is possible that the president
and the good WANAMAKER would, in
their meditative and more spiritual
moods. almost feel tinge of regret that
the cOmmiSSary part of the MALONE
campaign was mentioned by the admin
tstratiOn. Here is the Republican Asso-
citation of VirginianS in Washington de-
family standing by the side of the Office
holders on pay day with its sandbag,
collecting assessments for the MALONE
treasury. That this policy Is generally
prevalent may be inferred from the case
at Glen Allen, Va. A white Republican
and lawyer of SOME standing was APP
pointed to the $500 postofice and refused
to acceptit, although he wanted it badly,
because there was attached TO the ap-
pOintment the condition that he should
pay 10 per cent of his salary to the cam
paign fund and allow the party leader
i'name his chief deputy. 1t is not

POLITICAL ASS EASEMENTS.

One of the evils of the system of po-
litical assessments is seriously felt by
the people of New York, who are una
bic to secure a decent congressional
representation for the metropolis. 1t
has got TO be notorious fact that New
York's representatives IN. the national
congress are so far below mediocrity
that New Yorker with pride and self
respect is ashamed to 90 to congress.
With the exceptions of ex-Mayor
HEWITT and SUNSET Cox. the city of
New York has not had a representative in
congress for the last quarter of a century
who would compare favOrably with the
average village alderman. Some one
who has been investigating this matter
has discovered that the excessive assess
ments levied upon candidates for political
offices is the cause of New 1ork's po
litical degeneracy. The campaign as
sessment levied on candidate for con-
gre SIS is just about equal to his two
years salary. Consequently, political
aspirantS who have to depend on their
salaries for livelihood prefer to ill the
county ana CITY oUceS, WHICH pay dill
the way from 5000 to $4,000 year.
Now and then some rich nabob who
wants to embellish his name with an
NJ. c. attachment will pay the price for
a congressional nomination, but he
never cuts any figure in national
affairs. Usually it is some successful
ward politician who has "job'' in
mind that carries off the congressional
nominations in the metropolis. He
eheerfully pays the assessment, be-
cause he expects to make it all back out
of his lob" And thus it is the men of
intellect and integrity are crowded out
of public view, and the foremost city
of the continent is virtually unrepre-
scented in the national councils.

POWER OF MONEY LENDERS.

The money lenders are playing a
more important part in preserving the
peace of the world than the diplomats.
The only thing that has kept Russia in
check for the last quarter of century
has been its indebtedness. The empire
owes handsome little fortune to Ger
many, France and England, and this
has served to keep the car in less
Warlike frame of mind than if his en-
piIe had been out of debt. British cap
italists number their creditors by the
scole in all of the other European coun-
tries. German bankers have been plac-
ing their money where it would best
answer the emperor's purposes. France.
Italy and Belgium have long been en-
gagged in business partnership to main
tain the value of silver. Thus there is
a network of financial complications
spread over the face of Europe which is

TROUBLE IN ZION.

Justice Does Not Make Peace
Among the ColOred Brethren.
The Zion Baptist church. with all the
troubles of the colored brethren, was
aired yesterday in the big court room
at the district court. There were four
questions to be decided. One to decide
whether Rev. Lomack should be al
lowed to be pastor of the church; an
other to decide which of the two boards
of directors should act, and third
against active Brothers Canon and
Gregory. The court probably did not
arrive at a very ameiable settlement of
affairs by declaring Rev. Lomack to be
the pastor of the church. and the op-
posing faction to have the legal board OF
trustees. The action against the two
members was dismissed, and the fourth
question, which was as to whom the
church property belonged, is yet un-
settled

DOWNING A TRUST.

The jute trust got black eye at the
Atlanta exposition the other day by the
celebration of an antique double we'd
ding. Two young Georgia farmers
from the upper country came down to
Atlanta to see the Piedmont exposition,
and brought their Sunday girls along
with them. When they got down there
the Farmers alliance Of Georgia was
giving big reception to members of
the alliance from the other Southern
states. The farmers in the South have
been making a big fight against the
jute trust, just as the farmers here in
the Northwest have been trying to eX-
tinguiSh the Irvine trust, and with about
as little success. But on this occasion
the president of the Georgia alliance
started the farmers of his state on new
line Of action by producing a piece of
cotton bagging made from cotton
stalk and piece of rope made from the
same stalk. which could be sold for four
cents yard, and which weighed two
pounds to the yard. He then explained
. that the Georgia farmer could come to
Atlanta, buy few castings and make
the machine at home with which to
manufacture this bagging. He can man.
ufacture it in the winter and in wet
doors, and thus save millions of
dollars annually which are now paid
out to the jute trust. In concluding his
remarks he said: when the farmers
learn to produce the neceSsaries of life
at home and not send abroad for them,
they will cease to be hewerS OF wood
and drawers of water for the trusts.
Let the farmers of Georgia produce
what they consume, save money, educate
their children, and when the boys and
girls grow up to manhood and woman
hood, marry them in cotton bagging."
The two young Georgia farmers above
rsferred to, who had been listening to
this practical talk, suggested to their
sweethearts that they at once put the
santi-jute ball in motion by getting mar
ried right then and there in cotton gar
ments. The girls agreed to the propo-
Sition, and it was done. Gov. GORDON
stood as best man for one couple, while
HENRY GRADY performed SINH lar Serv-
ice for the other. Both of the bridal
couples were dressed in cotton bagging,
while the carriages were draped in the
same material, and drawn by four
white horses also covered with cotton
bagging The scene aroused an en-
thusiaSm among the Georgia farmers
the like of which has never been seen
in the Empire state of the South.
The incident serves to suggest to our
Minnesota farmers that they might get
up similar anti-twine trust demonstra-
ton. We have no cotton stalks, but we
have fax in abundance, and there ought
to be inventive genius enough among
MinnesotianS to construct simple
hand machine for making Irvine with
which the farmers can make their own
Irvine at home in the winter, and thus
save to the Northwest the millions of
dollars that are annually being paid out
to the Irvine trust. Who will start the
ball and give it the impetus that the
antique movement received in Geor-
gia?

Is THIS REFORM?
A Lavish Expenditure of Money by
City Officials.

A Lavish Expenditure ofMoney by
City officials.
City Comptroller Calderwood has
made an estimate of the deficit in the
city expenses for the present fiscal year,
and he will address communication to
the council. calling attention to the
subject of the lavish expenditures Of
the different departments. Mr.. Calder
wood estimates that the departments
will need s41 .004.29 more than has been
appropriated if the present rate of eX-
penditures is maintained. Of this
amount the police department, which
has been increased by the addition of
twenty-six men since the appropriation
was made, will need s23. S32 "a; engineer
ing department., s3,447.76; city hall,
s9e352; printing and stationery,
S4,672.11; health department, s9,S4S.62;
salaries of city officials, S3,4i1.29; street
lighting, sS96.32, and the assessors de-.
partment, sSSl.S6. The comptroller says
that none Of the departments will be
allowed to overdraw their accounts and
if retrenchment and reform is to be
practiced at all it is about time that it
was given practical trial.
