Work and BE HapDy.

ldleness is a great destroyer of
young men. 1t is sure to work
out the ruin of the most talented.
Give a man plenty to do and he Is
safe. Allow hin to spend his
time in idleness on street corners,
in gambling saloons or barrooms,
or stay at home with no higher
ambition than to eat, drink, or
smoke, and you lay Tor HIM the
foundation of future disgrace.
Parents may depend upon it
that growing boys find little that
adds to their manhood in the walks
of idleness. Better give them
some honorable trade than trust to
chance in some windall of luck or
fortune to benefit them in after
life.
If young men are out of employ
ment let this great truth be i'm
pressed upon their minds, that
time, though It brings no money, is
valuable. Self improvement should
be kept up, so that every spare
hour may bring to its possessors
some valuable acquisition. Enrich
your minds by the careful study
of some good work, for you may
rest assured that your labor is none
the less for being intelligent. Bet
ter be found studying at home,
thereby improving and discip,ining
your mind, than to oe seen On the
street corners the very picture OF
laziness.
Nothing can be accomplished
without labor, Excellence in
every trade or profession depends
upon it. 1t is not the idlers who
make their mark in the world, but
the earnest, 60 ahead man, who
never steps for small troubles or
gives up fortbe great ones, but goes
forward determined to he and do
something in the world. Young
man, place before you the object
of your desire aud w.rk tor it.
You will certainly obtain it.

A Great Paper.

The Ishmaelite admires a bold,
out spoken, conscientious paper.
1t likes a paper that has opinions
Of Its own, and that docs not hesi>
tate to express them, without re-
gard to the popularity or un2opue
larity of such opinions. 1t has a
feeling of friendliless andfellowship
for the journal that declines to
float with the popular current, un,
less that current should in its opin>
ion, be moving in proper direction
to the great ocean of popular be-
lief. 1t recognizes as worthy of
confidence and admiration the
newspaper that does not hesitate
to take position on great public
questions, and that is governed
by the consideration Of mghtful,
ness in so doing, without fear OF
antagonisms which it may thereby
arouse. 1t may be right to with.
stand even the people. 1t may be
aduty TO oppose the contamination
of their purpose 1t surely would
be wrong to follow them to do
evil, eitl er in resis s ICE to he en-
thronement of right or in defence
OF the stronghold OF error.
But all this is not easy to do.
1t is hard to stand out from the
midst OF the eager and aggressive
throng, and be bufetcd by the
waves upon Which one might 50
happily have foated. All the
more worthy, then,of honor is the
paper that takes its bearing solely
with reference to its concer tons Of
the right, and that presses on in
its way without regard to crossing
and conflicting currents. Sparta

The Ways of Justice.

While at the postofflce in an Ohio village
heard the report that a murderer had been cap
tured, and so followed the crowd to the lock-
up to learn more about it, relates a writer in
the New York Sun There l found prisoner
whose every appearance proved the professional
tramp. He was about 40 years of age, VERY
cool, and he greeted the charge of murder with
q laugh. In short time he was tak=n before a
Justice of the peace for examination, and
found a seat in the crowd. One look at the
Justice satisfied me that he realized the awful
gravity of the situation and felt the foundation
stone of the United States resting on his broad
back.

The recent seizure and confiscation Of
Mormon property BY the United States
government, in accordance With decree
of the courts, have brought to light
some unexpected results. All told the
amount Of property seized was not over
100000. TWAS expected that the property
would amount TO millions. Anticipating
the outcome Of the suit brought against the
church, the Mormons invested their money
in San Francisco to keep it away from the
government. The amount thus invested is
supposed to be from 100000 to SIS, OOO, 900.
The investments were made in the name of
individuals, not the church. in the hope that
the government would find no trace of the
money. Uncle Sam has a chance to make
several millions if he can unearth the
treasure, but the search would, no doubt,
prove as unfruitful as the hunt for Capt.
Kidd's gold.

The outlook tor the Force 81.

1t begins 10 look as IL the Senate would
not consider the force bill a this session.
Senator'S Ingalls,, Hoar. Spooner and other
senator's who strongly favor /, still insis,
that an election bill Of some kind will be
passed. at tais session, but the failure Of the
republican caucus on Monday night to rec
ommend any course with regard 70 the bill
would seem 10 indicate that a majority Of
the republican senator's have made up their
minds II let that DILL alone for the present
at least. There were only twenty-five Of
the forty-seven republican senators at
the caucus, and that fact would indicate
that there is a feeling of indiff erence among
them with respect to the bill.
1t is understood that Senator Hoar made
an extraordinary effort TO get the caucus to
take some action on the bill. He told
those present that the COMMITTEES which had
1t in charge had made great changes in it BY
striking out the domiclliary clause, the
partisan jury commission clause and the
bayonet clause, but he was not successful in
getting the caucus to indicate its purpose
with regard to it.
The caucus determined to go on with the
tariff bill and TO take up the appropriation
bills. These measures cannot be disposed of
before Sept. l, if so soon. By that time
congress will be very anxious to adjourn.
Representatives will want to 90 home to
take part IN the elections, and senators will
feelt need of a little rest. The argument
will be advanced that the force bill cannot
be passed in time to be enforced at the fall
elections, and that therefore there is no use
in devoting any time to it this session.
The committee that was appointed TO
report upon the advisability of adopting a
gag rule similar to that in force in the
House has made no report, and it looks now
as if it would make none. Its failure to do
so is another indication of the unwillingness
OF the Senate to pass tie force bill. Tue
force bill could not be passed without a gag
rule, and some of the most influential OF the
republican senators are opposed to such a
rule They say that the present rules have
been in force for quarter of a century and
have been satisfactory, and they don't want
them changed simply to insure the passage
of one or two partisan measures of doubtful
benefit to the party.
The real truth is however, the republican
senator's have heard, and are continuing to
lear from their constituents in opposition
to the force bill. The plan suggested by
the MORNING News several weeks ago, and
acted upon so generally by the bust
ness men of the south, is proving to be a
very effective one. The business men of
the north are hearing from the business
men of the south. and they in turn are
letting the northern senators hear from
them They are requesting their senators
not to disturb the business interests of the
country by any such unwise legislation as
that proposed in the force bill, aud the
senator's are needing the request From
present indications the force bill will not
become law in any shape at this session,
if at all.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1890-07-31

The fact that Murat Halstead has been
called an apostate, traitor and charlatan
for his opposition to the force bill, does not
deter him from continuing his warfare
against that obnoxious measure. On the
contrary the attacks of the republican press
seem to inspire him with renewed vigor for
the fray. In signed editorial on the sub
ject few days ago he said: THE election
law could not do any good in the black belt,
and elsewhere 1t would be an embarrass-
ment rather than facility. The republi-
can party would be better off without 1t
everywhere, and the solid south is not to be
broken by it. AS to the House of Repre-
sentatives, this law would cost us several
members and yield no gains" If Mr.. Hal
stead keeps on preaching such heresy the
republican editors will be under the painful
necessity of reading him out OF tho party.
