There is more truth than poetry
in the following from the Columbus,

preacher works for the souls OF men

chants reaps his reward for toll in
profits from day to day; the banker
sits in his office chair with his bundle
of cash to rent, and gathers a harvest
month by month, of vigorous 20 per
cent; the dealer in grogs- stands be-
hffd the bar and fills up the schooners
high. and jingles the tin that the boys
"blow i'm for potions of good old
rye; the lawyers and doctors find
york to DO that brings in the hard
cold cash, the men who WELD the
plane or spade, find money to buy
their hash; but the editor has n thank
less task as the weary months roll by,
and knows no rest of body or brain
while he misses the chance to die.
His reward in this world never
comes, but oyer the silent sea, il
justice reigns, he is bound to have q

buke. Just sit down and concoct an

"BLACKED OUT.D

Speaking of the Russian censorship,
Mr.. George KEENAN,, in an article III
the May Century, says: What does
the Russian government hope or ex-
pect to accomplish by 'blacking out
truth with regard to Russian affairs,
and by throwing into prison every
man in whose possession such arti-
cles may be found?
The Russian author Prugavin, in a
book that was inadvertently sane
toned by the press censor, but that
was afterwards seized and burned,
asks this same question, and says:
Can an idea be choked to death ?
Can thought be killed, buried, or an
initiated? Are not truth, and love,
and justice, and freedom immortal?
1t is the most terrible of mistakes to
suppose that ideas can ever be crush
ed. People have perished-men have
died in chains and classmates, their
bodies have decayed, their graves
have been lost, and their very names
have been forgotten; but their ideas
and aspirations live on. Washed i'll
the blood of suffering, such ideas and
aspirations have become the dream
of every man in whose brain a
thought stirs and in whose breast q
heart BEATS
The press censor, when he burned
Prugavin's book, thought that he
had destroyed forever its 'pernicious'
influence; but the ideas and aspira-
tons of the gifted author live on;
and his words, although burned by
order of government in Russia, will
appeal to hundreds of thousands of
sympathetic hearts in England and
the United States.
Sometime in the far-distant future
the free Russian patriot, no longer
blinded by the censorship of the press,
will look ove the pages of his ma
tional history that record these at
tempts to gag public opinion and
strangle human thought, and will
wish from the bottom of his heart
that SO humiliating and shameful a
record might be 'blacked OUT"

FLAG LORE.

To "strike a flag" is to lower the
national colors in token of submis-
sion.
Flags are used as the symbol of
rank and command, the officers using
them being called flag officers. Such
flags are square, to distinguish them
from other banners.
The white flag is the sign of peace.
After a battle parties from both sides
often go out to the field to rescue the
wounded or bury the dead, under the
protection of a white flag.
The red flag is a sign of defiance,
and is often used by revolutiOnists.
In our service it is a mark of danger,
and shows a vessel to be receiving or
discharging powder.
The black flag is a sign of piracy.
The yellow flag shows a vessel to
be at quarantine, or is the sign of a
contagious disease.
A flag at half mast means mourn
ing. Fishing and other vessels re-
turn with a flag at half mast to an
nOunce the loss or death of some of
the men.
Dipping the flag is lowering it
slightly and then hosting it again,
to salute a vessel or fort.
If the president Of the United States
goes afoat, the American flag is car
ried from the bows of his barge or
hOisted at the main of the vessel on
board of which he isl Journal of

A RIVAL TO THE METRIC SYSTEM.

1t may yet prove to be a good
thing that the metric system has
made SO slow Roadway in this coun-
try, for one of the professors in the
Clark university, at Worcester,
claims to have discovered a more re-
liable unit of measure than is possess
ed by that system. This discovery
has attracted so much attention in
Europe that the French government
is about to endacommission to this
country to investigate it. 1t is we'll
known that the standard of the met
ric system was established by meas
uring a degree of latitude on the
earth, and then su~bdividing the dis
tance so as to obtain one forty-mil-
liOnth of the earth's circumference.
1t is less widely known that when
with almost infinite pains the whole
labor was finished an error was
found which vitiated the whole pro-
ceeding, and that if the original
standard should be lost it could not
be duplicated without enormous
labor and expense. But the new
standard is not of the earth earthly.
The professor claims to have ac-
curately determined the distance
which light travels in a second, and
to have proved it to be, under certain
conditions, invariable. This he has
subdivided SO as to produce an ac-
curate standard of measurement,
having an advantage over the meter
in that it can readily be reproduced
if lost.-[Spring6eld Union.

DELIC4CY OF MINT SCALES.


The fine gold weighing scales
made in Philadelphia and intended
for the mint at New Orleans a few
days ago are marvels of mechanical
invention and expert workmanship.
The larger of the two pairs has a
capacity of 10000 ounce, troy, or
about CSC pound avoirdupois, and
when loaded to its full weighing ca
pacitv will indicate the variation of
the one-thousandth of an ounce
The other and smaller pair are in
tended forlighter work. All its bear
ings are of the finest agate, which
have been ground with remarkable
precision. This instrument is believ-
ed to be the most delicate in the world.
1t will give the precise weight of hui

JERUSALEMS RAILROAD.

Jerusalem is atlast to beintroduced
to a real locomotive, says the New
York Sun. About fourteen years ago
a banker i'll Paris thought there
would be money in a railroad be-
tween the historic city and Jaffa, on
the coast. The distance is only 40
miles, and the banker was convinced
that the freight traffic and the stream
of tourists would enable the road to
pay dividends. So he sent out engi-
neers to survey the route and COM
plete plans for the road were made.
He was unable, however, to get any
concession from the Sultan, and the
plans which cost him thousands of
dollars, were the only souvenirs of
his enterprise. The cable does not
tell us whether the banker has his
finger in the project that is now to
be carried ont.

SOUND TALK ON BOUNTIES.

Thenew tariff bill, as finally report
ed to the House by the ways and
means committee, differs very ma
teriallv from the first draft of the
measure. OF Il reduction of seventy
million dollars in the which
it proposes, ffty-fiVe million dollars
is effected by the complete abolition
of the duties on sugar. The sugar
growers, who have proftted in the
past by the tariff of two cents per
pound imposed to protect them, are
to have their privileges extended in
the form of q bounty of the same
amount for fifteen earS. This means
that seven million dollars q year will
bepaid to the sugar-planters directly
from the national treasury. In adj
ditiOn to this bounty to the sugar
planters, the new bill proposes a
bounty of seven cents q pound on
fresh cocoOns, and Il dollar a pound
on reeled silk. This is, if not absO-
lutelv Il novel form of legislation, at
all events an uncommon one in this
country, and it seems to us to involve
theevils without the benefits of state
socialism. BY the system of boun-
ties the national government takes
capital from the pockets of the peO-
pie and invests that capital i'll spe-
cial enterprises which are supposed
to need special nursing. 1t becomes
a kind of silent partner in the sugar
and silk business, with this curious
feature of the partnership that while
it invests capital i'll the business, it
receives no portion of the profits.
This is not a profitable kind of part
nership for the people to enter into.
If they are going into the sugar and
silk business, they would better &c
into it by means of agents whom
they appoint and who are response
bic to them, and on terms which will
give them a profit proportional to
the capital which they invest, than
which they invest money in a bust
ness over which they have no control
and from which they are to receive
no return. The bounty system be-
longs to a p%aternal government,
which regards it its duty to take
care of themselves. 1t is no legiti-
mate part of a tariff system, but an
abnormal graft upon it. The farm
ers who are burning their grain for
fuel will find it difficult to see any
reason why they should pay taxes
to enable the sugar-planterS of
Louisiana to carry on more prOfIta-
bly, the raising of sugar. Mr.. Nc
Kenna, the California member of the
ways and means committee, dissents
from the views of his republican col
leagues upon this feature of the bill.
He says: Protection is the clear
right of all industries or of none.
The means oft is tariff, notlargesses
from the treasury. \ tariff may bea
tax; a bounty is certainly One-fiXed
and unavOidable-and increases with
the production it encourages. If a
bounty is useful for sugar, why not
for other things? A republican
House of Representatives should not
set this example. Who can say
where the contagion of it will stop?"
