THE GOOD ABYSSINIAN.

I saw in London the vast procession
which one day last January moved to
st. Paul's cathedral at the burial of
that Christian hero, Lord Napier. The
day after, at Hawarden, in conversation
on various themes, | asked Mr.. Glad
stone if he did not think that many
who were under the shadow of false re-
igions might not nevertheless be at
heart really Christian. Mr.. Gladstone
replied: Yes; my old friend Lord Ma
pier, who was yesterday buried, after
he returned from his Abyssinian cam
paign, visited us here at Hawarden,
and walking in this park where we are
now walking he told me a very beauti-
full incident He said: After the war
In Africa was over we were on the
march, and we had a soldier with
broken leg who was not strong enough
to go along with us, and we did not
dare to leave him to be taken care
of by savages; but we found we
were compelled to leave him, and we
went into the house of a woman who
was said to be a very kind woman,
though of the race of savages and we
said, "Here is a sick man, and if you
will take care of him till he gets well
we will pay you very largely and then
we offered her five times that which
would ordinarily be offered, hoping by
the excess of pay to secure for him
great kindness. The woman replied:
II will not take care of him for the
money you offer I do not want your
!, I
will take care of him for the sake of
the love of God 49, Mr.. Gladstone
turned to me and said sDr. Talmage,
don't you think that though she be-
longed to race of savages that was
pure religion2" And I answered, II
do; I do" May God multiply all the
world over the number of good Samar-

In Philadelphia young woman was
dying. She was a wreck. Sunken
into the depths of depravity there was
no lower depth for her to reach. Word

refused, and that one refused, saying,

tan woman, her white locks typical of
her purity of soul, said, 81 will go, and
[ viii go now" She went and sat
down by the dying girl, and told of the
Christ who came to seek and save that
which was lost. First to the forlorn
one came the tears of repentance, and
then the smile, as though she had be-
gun to hope for the pardon of him who
came to save to the fInost. Then
just before she bre- led her last, she
said to the angel OF mercy bending
over her pillow, Would you kiss

woman, as she put upon her cheek the

POSSIBLE RAILROAD EXTENSION.

The latest report in the way of contem-
plated extensions of PIttsburg's railway
connections comes from Findlay, whence it
is reported that the Pittsburg and Western
combination, by the purchase of the Amer
lean Midland, will secure route to Chi
cago. By the construction of forty miles OF
new track, it is stated, this line can be made
the most direct of all the routes from this
citv to the Western metropolis.
In estimating the probabilities of the new
through line to the West, it is necessary to
recognize that the report comes from push
ing town which is nearly as prolific of rail-
roads on paper as Plttsburg was few years
ago The principal importance of the re-
ported project is in its possibility. Ii 1t is
the fact that the consolidation of group of
moribund railways, beginning and ending
nowhere in particular, can by the construc-
tion of forty miles of new track, be elevated
into the shortest route between Pittsburg
and Chicago, the realization of the project
is only question of time.
Another important aspect of such a
scheme is its natural relation to the reports
concerning the extension of the Reading to
Pittsburg. The need of the new line fore
shadowed by this report would be an East
ern connection. The need Of the Reading,
if extended to this city, would be Western
connection. Both together would form a
new trunk line with exceptional advantages
in the way of traffic and directness; and
when it is perceived that the bridging of
two gaps would erect these corporations
into prosperous trunk line, the possibili-
ties of such scheme become very great.
Both corporations are now in the hands of
capitalists anxious and determined to ele-
yate them to the highest importance and
prosperity There ought to be something
weighty for the interests of Pittsburg in
these facts.

RnYCnTTINi THE Z. OF L.

The probability indicated elsewhere that
the League baseball managers of this city
have struck rock in the shape of notifca-
ticn that they will be boycotted if they keep
their contract with certain band that has
been engaged to play at their matches, fur
nishes a remarkable instance of the dilemma
to which the claims of rival labor organiza-
tions may subject the public.
The Great Western Band, Pittsburg
musical organization of long standing, be-
longs, as we understand, to the knights of
Labor No one has heretofore claimed,
however much the course of that order has
been criticised in other matters, that the
knights OF Labor do not represent regularly
organized labor. Yet the rivalry is such
that the threat of boycott is heard, if other
people without undertaking to take sides in
the disputes between the two organizations,
employ the members of the K. of L. If that
threat was yielded to, would not the knights
of Labor have just as good reason for boy
cotting the baseball managers for a breach
of contract with the members of that order?
1t is certain that the cause of labor is not
to be aided by attempts to boycott people
who recognize the Z. of L. If the labor
organizations cannot agree among them
selves. they have no right to drag the public
into their quarrels.

A Political Opportunity.

THAT party which in the near future is to
dominate the thought and catch the votes
of the mass must drop its hirtations with So
called moral and religious factions which
would determine how we shall worship, eat,
drink and clothe ourselves by act of Congress.
and must capture that vast and to-be-dominant
class with which the great question is not how
they shall eat and drink and clothe them
selves but whether they shall have an assur-
ance of good eating and drinking and clothing
at all.
The economic sense of the
masses has drifted away from the old moor
ings The Federation of Trades, the Knights
of Labor, the various farmers organizations,
the Nationalists and the Socialists numbering
millions of voters all told, are recognizing their
common interests, and are drawing close to-
gether for political action. Let either the Re-
publicon or Democratic party see this and take
adval tage of it and it will be invincible for
years to come. Let either of the old parties de-
clare for Government telegraphs and railroads;
for municipal ownership of water gas,
telephones and local railroads; for
coinage uncontrolled by spectators and usurers;
for the establishment of Government banking
institutions where deposits will be secure as
the Government itself, and where money may
be loaned to all who would borrow, upon salts
factory security at rate of interest which
would merely compensate the Government for
the transaction of the business: and who cannot
see that the party doing so would jump into a
long and practically untroubled lease of power.
What is to prevent one of the old parties
from taking this brilliant departure?
Simply the devotion of party leaders to the
interests of corporations which nay them. Only
that and nothing more. If they question the
wisdom of these things, they do so hypocriti-
cally for there is not one of them but admits
in his own heart that one and all of these prOpo-
sitions are in the interest of every CITIZEN ex-
cept the few who, already glutted with wealth.
would grasp more. and more ana always mere,
at the expense of the laboring, suffering. hoping.
despairing multitude of honest producers.

THE RESULT OF EXAMP LIE.

The small town of Irondale, Alabama,
seems to have pressing need of some prac-
teal instruction on political liberty and the
observance of the law. The facts given
elsewhere about the attempt of certain
Democrats to run out of town some Repub-
licans who have been guilty of being elect
ed to municipal Office, and having their
election sustained by a Democratic court,
coupled with the shooting of the Town
ing to arrest, presents beautiful picture of
a community which has yet to learn the first
principles of governing itself.
Properly viewed the practical instruction
needed is furnished by the events reported
by our telegraphic dispatches; but the les
son is not likely to be applied. The asser-
ton by the special dispatch that the shoot
ing had nothing to do with the political dis
pute is probably correct enough as to the
actual fact. 1t is necessary to view the
matter at a considerable distance 10 per-
ceive that they have the relation which the
lesson of disregard of selfgovernment, vio-
lation of individual rights and contempt of
duly elected authority must always bear to
acts of disorder by the ignorant.
If the whites can undertake to drive regu-
larly elected officials out Of town, how is
it to be expected that the negroes will learn
that law must be respected and its officers
obeyed.
picture of crime and lawIessness is typical
of the South. But 1t certainly is an exam
pie of the necessity of teaching the South
ern negroes respect for legal authority, and
of the fact that the only way to teach that
lesson is by the example of the whites.

LUXURY THIS YEAR.

The ice problem, as appears from local
article, has already begun to pinch the
butchers. Our joyial purveyors of steaks
and chops find that the ice necessary to
keep their meat from spelling in hot
weather is going to cost them this year two
or three times what it generally does, and
the prospect is by no means satisfactory
one. The case seems to be one in which the
rule of "what can't be cured" must suffice;
except for those fore-sighted people who
have invested in artificial freezing plants.
After an open winter some years ago, some
enterprising individuals went up to Lake
Superior and towed down ice by the barge
loads, to be distributed everywhere within
shipping distance of the lake ports, but
this year no one has been able to carry out
SO daring and what would have been so
profitable an enterprise. In the meantime,
the cost of ice to domestic consumers this
summer remains a mystery too dreadful to
be rashly investigated.

go paper which called upon its readers to
say what they would do if they had S10,-
O00, ,00O This reader sends letter which
expresses very strongly the idea that he
would use the money to establish purity in
politics. He "would 60 into practical
politics" with the purpose 'to down the
foreign boodlers who run for Office because
there is something in it," to "get back to
the idea that public Office is public
trust" and to shut out the liquor element
from any participation in political affairs.
This programme is based solely and
avowedly on the expectation of purifying
politics of the corrupt elements. With that
aim in view it is interesting to observe the
methods by which the $4,000, 900 would
be put to work. sit would require money
to fight the brewers and saloons" says the
retormer; and SO evidently he would use a
liberal share of the funds in buying votes
at higher prices than corruption would pay.
After this, he would buy up Legislature
if need be" to submit the constitutional
amendment that he thinks would reform
things. In short, the plan of using ten mill
lions to purge politics of its corruption means
that he would use the money in corrupting
voters right and left to secure the passage of
certain reforms.
What good would these reforms do, if
purchased by bribery? Is it not strange that
at the close of this century people who start
out on tine platform of opposition to corrup-
ton should regard the resort to corrupt
means, as the legitimate way to 60 to work?
Any reform in the laws secured by de-
bauching voters or legislators resting upon
tine basis of corruption must be as evanes-
cent as the time taken for the opposing
influences of corruption to get in their work.
1t is discouraging indication of the general
idea that legislation can be bought, to find
one man so ignorant of the meaning of pure
politics as to propose to purify them by
bribery.
When American citizens recognize that
no purchased reform is worth cent, and
that the man who can arouse the sense and
virtue of the people is worth more for reform
than the man with $40, ,OOO, 600, then it will
be possible to take the first steps for the
publication of politics.

THEY WOULD NOT DISTURB IT.

A remarkable evidence of the unique
views of some of our Democratic friends on
the total separation of consistency from the
tariff, is afforded by recent deliverance of
two very esteemed Philadelphia cotempo-
rsries. Congressman Harmer having said
something, in an interview, showing that he
is disposed to pay attention to the call for
free raw materials, the line of tariff policy
is laid down by the Record and Endorsed by
the Times, that wool, coal, lumber, iron
ore, jute, hemp. salt and chemicals shall be
admitted free of duty. This" say our
Democratic contemporaries, sis all the tariff
bill that is needed at present" Such dec
laration is terrible going back on the
Mills bill. But it is less significant in that
aspect, than it is as illustrating the fact
that after these very papers have occupied
columns in declaring that the way to sup
press trusts is to abolish the tariff on their
products, the one tariff policy which they
declare to be "all that is needed takes
very good care not to disturb the Sugar
TrCst in the slightest degree.
