good deal of philosophy considerably

eral. The poor rail at the rich, charging
them with sehshness and use the bitterest
inyectives to express their feelings. In
these excited moments the common selfish
ness of human nature is forgotten and it
requires the sound application Of put
yourself in his place to bring back calm
er state of mind. Although this imagin-
airy change Of place is advised to prove
that another would have done the same as
the one displaced it.fails to explain much
that is wrong and even cruel in our social
makeup However much We regret the
presence of such condition of things, we
must endure them for immediate escape
from them cannot come Their sudden
and complete remedy lies outside ofhuman
effort at present. Reforuers point IN 4
vague way to Il better social life in the
future, in which the sum of human happi.
ness will be increased, if certain sociaI
economic changes can be effected. There
Is reason for all t. have faith enough II

will bring more concrete form of socia
life, without destroying or i'm pairing on,

ditious will approach an equalization, We

This faith however, affords but little con
ISOLATION for the present bitterness of tn

ly about 16 years of age, was found in a
hallway of a Butler street house. in a
comatose condition at an early hour this
morning by the people of the house. She
was taken to the hospital, where she is in
a critical condition She was evidently
drugged. and it Is thought she tried TO
commit suicide. A romantic story has
been developed in her case. Some time
last week she made her appearance here
dressed in boys clothing, and applied at
various places for work. As she looked
the simple country boy to perfection, a
lady living on Stanton avenue took pity
upon the friendless boy and gave him a
temporary home at her house. The girl
would not have had her disguise penetrated
had it not been for a mere accident.
Having occasion TO wash cup while
sitting at the table she went and got a
dish cloth for the purpose. The lady who
had befriended her happened to notice the
manner in which she twisted the dishcl0th
as she was wringing it after washing the
cup. Her benefactress at once became
| convinced that the supposed boy was a
girl. and taxed her with being In disguise
The girl thereupon broke down and made
a complete confession. She claimed that
she had run away from her fathers farm
near Franklin. Pa Her mother had died
| some years ago, and she claimed that her
father had not treated her right.

IT is generally admitted that Charles A
Dana, of the New York Sun, is master Of
his profession. However we may dissent
from his somewhat peculiar views on polit-
ical questions or condemn the cynical tone
that peryadcs his expression of them, there
IL no dlspatng his acutenes of perception,
and the finish and completeness that dis
tinguishes bis work For these reasons
his judgment on other newspaper men
may be considered as expert testimony,
and the tribute he has paid to two of his
former rivals will therefore be of general
Interest Speaking at a recent press ban
quei in New York, Mr. Dana said: "One
of the greatest newspaper men ever pro-
duCed in this country was undoubtedly the
gentleman to whom Mr. Lee referred
Horace Greeley. lio was a man Of genius
He was a man of great and sensitive and
generous heart But as Il newspaper man
he was not 80 great in my Judgment
some other men. He was great writer
of leading articles If he did not like il
man he would 20 for him in a way that
made those that looked on admire, and
which filed the victim with despair. But
he was always for the triumph Of his side
and the victory of the hour. The great
newspaper man works for the triumph of
his newspaper and for the permanent sue
cess Of great principles These may fail
to-day, but they will triumph tomorrow.

THE report of the Parnel Commission
will be accepted by all impartial men as a
practical vindication Of the Irish leader.
1t dismisses all the material charges and
leaves his political and personal honor
clear of suspicion. In the fact that it thus
disposes of reckless and malicious ISLANDERS
against man whose standing and infu-
ence are of infinite importance lies its
chief value, for after all these months 0
laborious and costly investigation the com
mission has told the world nothing that
was not known before The careful avoid
ance of any reflection upon Pigott or the
Times is amusing.
