The partisan. in his heated discussion,
cares nothing for the right of the argument,
but for the triumph of HIS side of the ques
ton. The patriot seeks the right no matter
where it may land him. so he analyses the
subject with one aim, to elicit truth. The
politician knows the truth but deliberately
lies to obtain office and power.

ITO live in the hearts we leave behind is
not to die" This is impressibly true.
Many grand characteristics of friendship
penetrate their roots into the heart. and
after the material form has passed away
the noble and generous acts of our friend
still live; indeed, he is yet with us; he never
dies.

Whatever the mind can conceive of. that

beyond the confines of this world to an
other is evidence to that mind that there is
another world. The ideal precedes the ma

there can be material. To-day the grand

Strength and the Persistency
gifts Appleton.
Says The Republican. Lansing, Mich. ::
Through the courtesy of Gov. Luce, the
attention of the Republican has been called
to an exhaustive article in the California
Spirit of the Tunes. upon the exercise OF
the pardoning power by the executive of
the state. its responsibilities. and the impo-
sitions which are attempted in invoking ex-
ecutive clemency. At the close of the arti-
Gle is the following paragraph which we re-
produce for the reason that it is not only
beautifully touching in itself. and strong in
it's descriptive elements. but we are assured
from Gov. Luce. from his own experience,
that it is the exact truth in every particu-
lar. The writer says:
1t has been supposed that the appeal of
the mother was the strongest OF all those
made, and particularly in behalf OF an err
ring son; but it is not SO. at least with our
knowledge of the facts of such appeals.
While to the mother the convict. however
mature he may be. is still ''dear boy" she
cannot see where the dark spots are on his
life and name, and elOquently pleads for
his freedom. The pleading of wife for
her husband is plaintive enough. God
knows; the husband for the wife. is brave
in the request for her deliverance from fur
ther bondage; the hopeful statement Of the
father is sturdy in defense of his imprisoned
child; the brother implOring for a brother is
worthy of praise, for the affection of his ut
terances; the child for parent is the per-
sOnificatOh of loving trust in his goodness;
but of all that come as supplcaEts to the feet
of power. and bring the burden of their
stricken sou! for examination and final re
suit in our experience. none can compare
to the pleading of a sister for the brother
that wears the stripe of a cOnvct's garb
Its dignity in presenting the reasons for the
faith that is in it supplants for a time the
grief that is Swallowed on the fearful face
that is subdued but cannot be hidden. Self
reliant. yet modest; fearful. yet with smile
in the hope of favor; admitting, not con-
ceaIing the dire necessity that deprived him
OF his liberty; with trembling lips. this most
sacred of all the pleas at the bar of human
ity; tells Of his earlier life. his good and kind
surroundings. and that this is his first of
tense: that she knows his nature SO well
that in this case he simply gave way to a
m"mentary temptation, and if he can be
restored to her she knows he will be true
man again. and in the future will uphold,
and will not be guilty of another infraction
of the law. In our judgment. we again
say. nothing can compare to the heartfelt
pleadings of sister for brother.

Incidence.

The diabOlcal spirit of Incidence, or more
nate-is the direct cause of more young
men falling into life of crime, than any
other one thing that can be considered to
rob them of their manhood and freedom.
that works ruin to not only those who are
addicted to Incidence, but to all that come
in contact with them.
In all nations and communities, the de-
gree of industry measures the prosperity
of the people; and idleness and lazness,
their degradation. Incidence propagates
and fosters poverty, pestlence. debauchery,
Righteousness crime and ungodliness. And
when man INDUCES in this evil habit, he in
variably sinks to the lowest point
Man was not made sloth, and whether
in slavery or Free born state, in penal bond
age or the free ranks of society-if slug
gard-he is a curse to himself and hindr
ance to all improvements of himself and
others. How many are seen running them
selves by not improving time and oppor
tunities through lazy and neglectful habits;
sinking to the lowest depths of degradation?
When, if they would use a reasonable
amount of their energies, they might be
thrifty and respected. 1t is not the guam
tity nor kind of work we do that gives sue.
cess. but the diligent manner in which we
apply our abilities that crowns us with
worthy prosperity.
A person saturated with Incidence, is
looked upon with suspicion and dsdain.
While the industrious are honored as COM
pOnents of truthful manhood.
In great country like ours. where do we
find degraded wretchedness? 1t is princi-
pally among the lazy, negligent and idle
classes. We should spurn Incidence. for
no true man will respect it; he cannot live
by it; he cannot be man with it engendered
in him; he will not be successful nor re-
spected with the mark of an idler stamped
upon him; he will be part of the worth
less. reaking in wretched degradation, at
last to swOon in the arms of destruction.
1t is in the power of nearly all of us to
retrieve our lost name and place and rise
higher in society, if we will but put forth
our energies to reclaim ourselves. grasping
the first opportunity presented to earn
livelihood. No matter what it be if honor

we can and will advance and be rewarded
by our labor. On the other hand if we per-
sist in Incidence. waiting for what is vul
carly called SNAP" we will finally be
nipped in our service of the devil; and at
last fall headlong into his pit holes. ....
What is needed is an earnest purpose
to succeed, and we will succeed. and have

After a good muny months Of
hard work by both interests, en-

toward adjusting the Indebtedness
of the State Of Virginia. The pres

promises more than any previous
effort, for the reason that it is in
the hands Of people in whom both
the creditors and the debtors have
absolute confidence. The first step
is to mass the bondholders, and TO
that end the first authoritative all
nOuncemcnt relative to the matter
was made in London Yesterday,
and is made in this country today.
The holders of large amounts of
the bonds both in this country and

following committee to represent
them Mr.. Frederic u. Olcott,prcs-
