1t is not as a rule the sneak thief
and burglar, whom everybody Is on
guard against, that in the course of his
life steals the most money. 1t is always
the trusted employee who has the conf
dence of everybody about him that
makes the great hauls. A boy goes into
an Office fresh and bright from school.
He has a frank, trustful way with him
that all properly born men and women
have in youth, before they have been
cheated 80 often that they learn to hide
themselves within themselves. But when
In spite Of being cheated over and again
people can still retain this frank, open
way through life, it constitutes great
part Of that mysterious charm we call
magnetism.
The boy wins the hearts Of employers
by his bright frankness, his quickness
and good nature. They in time trust
him to any extent. because good nature
and obligingness coupled with quick
brain are not plentiful in this world. SO
it goes on for years. The trusted boy is
promoted from post to post of honor and
increased wages. They predict for him
splendid future, which he certainly
has brains to attain Then suddenly
some trivial thing occurs. perhaps an
absence from duty for day, no matter
what. Like thunderclap comes the
revelation that the trusted youth has
been stealing right and left for u long
time, robbing his friends and employers
Of hundreds maybe thousands If dol
lars.
There was nothing the boy could not
have aspired to in that business house.
But all goes in u crash. The story fol
lows him, and his future II not ruined
is clouded for years. Now it is certain
that If he had only had SENSE enough
plain common sense and foresight--to
stick to his work and behave himself, in
a very short time he would have had far
more money than he got by stealing. He
stole simply because he had not sense
enough to be honest. So with the trusted
cashier or president. Those who think
they know him best would stake their
heads on his integrity, would trust all
the savings Of their lives in his hands,
and do thus trust them. Then some
miserable day it falls out that this re.
spected citizen is a thief. n liar aud vii.
lain.
The few thousands, even the hundreds
of thousands for which he has bartered
both his present and future, are very
paltry compared to what he has lost
The most miserable part of this whole
wretched business of gentlemanly steal
ing is, too, that if the thief would only
hold on and remain honest he would ere
long in nearly every case have actually
more money than he has with all his
populations. He, too, steals for want of
sense. 1t is the best policy to be honest
even if one is honest only from policy

Disgrace is added to horror in the
matter Of the New York Park place dis
aster The testimony went to show that
some Of the official inspectors Of build
ings were as corrupt as men could be,
although they held in their hands prac-
tically the lives and safety Of the whole
city 1t was testified that for fee q
rascally builder might put cheap ma
terial into his house and violate the
safety laws with IMMUNITY. On the
other hand, If an honest man wished to
put some repairs on structure already
erected. he must pass through tedious
and costly delays. unless he was first
willing to ''see' the inspector Of the dis
trict.

Boulanger died several years ago. and
only took advantage of the death Of
Mime. de Bonnemain as an excuse to get
his corpse out of sight. All the success
he ever had he owed. to the infatuation
of rich and silly women. Looking at his
portrait the disinterested outsider can
only wonder what there was in him to
make women go down before him as
they did. There is indeed NO account
ing for tastes.

Colonel John B. Weber went to Europe
some time since on behalf of the United
States government to find out what
makes Europeans come to America at
the rate of from 100000 to 10000 "a
year. He finds that they migrate to Ms
because of two things, namely, the Sc
we're demands on them for military sery-
ice and the low wages for work. Euro
pean newspapers are, as a rule, not
friendly to American emigration, and
say not much about the advantages
which poor working people will gain in
this country, but the masses find it out
somehow for themselves, probably from
letters of relatives already hers, and 50
-hey swarm over the ocean to us.

In the arbitration of the Behring sea
seal fisheries dispute, England and the
United States will set an example worth
following by all the rest of the nations.
In rude age the difficulties would GER
tainly haveled to war. That they did not
now is owing to the progress Of peaceful
civilization. Perhaps, too, there is a
feeling on both sides that English speak
ing nations ought not to go to war with
one another. Prolonged peace will not
make men less manly, but will turn
their power and courage into channels
that on the whole pay better than war.

Were any better evidence wanted of
the need of stringent laws against the
immigration of Chinese, it could be
furnished by the discovery in Victoria,
B. c., of slave shambles, in which Chi
nese girls and wemen were sold to any
one who would buy. This horrible
business was carried ON Ivy Chinese men
and women, who were making large
sums of money out of it.

In 1889 the compulsory school educa-
lion law of Wisconsin was amended by
q clause which read as follows.
No school shall he regarded az a school
under this act, unless there shall be taught
therein. as part Of the elementary education of
children, reading, writing, arithmetic and
United States history in the English language.
This seemed simple enough A sim
liar law was enacted in Illinois, An out
slider could not see at first glance what
was to be objected to in the act. This
is an English speaking country 1t is OF
the first Importance that young American
citizens shall obtain a correct and ex-
tensive knowledge of their native tongue
that language which one Of Germany's
Grimm. of his own free will declares
has right to be the language of the
world. And certain it is. beyond all
doubling, that half a century more will
behold it spoken by majority of all the
civilized people on the globe.
Therefore let us have the English Ian
guage pure and undefled as sweetly
spoken, as correctly pronounced and
written as we can get it. 1t is true that
many hundred thousands of our best
citizens are natives of lands where Ian
guages other than English is the mother
tongue. They cannot help it now But
they can see to it that their children
shall master English perfectly That is
one Of their first duties, since they have
cast their lot and that of their children
forever in this English speaking land
1t is not at all of particular Importance
whether the children of German, Italian
or Norwegian parents forget or remem-
Der the native tongue of their parents.
1t is of the first Importance that these
children do learn the story of this re-
public. and its language. government
and institutions. So much will be ad-
mitted by every fair minded person.
Very unfortunate. therefore, it was
that the laws in question should in some
way-how, it is hard to see-have drift
ed into political party question and
even into theological one. and the con-
troversy became as red hot as only polit-
'cal and theological controversies can
become. One party says the law was
aimed at the original right of parental
control as opposed to state control of the
education of children. and another class
of opponents declares it aims at nothing
less than striking down religion. while
yet a third contingent avows that it
wants to destroy the private schools al
together and throw lot of good people
out of their living
Howsoever these things be, one
fact remains fixed This is an English
speaking country In the babel of
foreign tongues here supreme effort
must be made to educate our Young
citizens to thorough knowledge of the
language OF the republic. If they can
also learn as an accomplishment French.
German, Italian, Swedish or Mecklen-
ourgisches Platt-Deutsch. SO much the
better, but English first, best and all the
time.

The cause of dress reform received
sad setback in Chicago when Kate
Field. in joining the dress-reformers in

that when they wanted to get anything
out OF the men it was better to wear
Paris gowns.

The Corn Husk weather Profit.

Jonathan Niles, of Norwich, Conn,
the famous corn husk weather profit, is
on deck again with prediction. He says
that the winter will be uneven, as the
corn husks are uneven in thickness. He
has had great success in predictions, and
his prophecy this time, it is believed,
will come true, for it is a safe one.-Cor.

President Harrison terminated yes
terday the suspense as to six out of the
nine Appellate Judges by sending the
names of the gentlemen he has select
ed to the Senate. The President seems
to have kept his own counsel, as he
usually does in such matters, so the
announcement Of the appointment has
not been discounted by any previous
discussion of the appointees. In fact,
we have no doubt that the best in
formed politicians never anticipated
the most of these appointments.

The Courts of New York have finally
decided that Actress Lillian Russell

Tremendous rain storms are pre-

needless to say that the rain professors

them to keep out Of till the clouds roll

SO strict was Stonewan Jackson in
his religious observances that he never
travelled on Sunday, and never

some time past been desirious of having
the early closing system adopted there.
They recently asked their employers to

BRIDGEPORT'S ATHLETIC
CLUB.

The athletic club now being formed at
the Barnum gymnasium will probably
be called the p. T. Barnum athletic club.
Meetings are held weekly and, at each
meeting, many new members are admit
ted. Still the citizens of Bridgeport are
slow in coming forward in substantial
manner and aiding and assisting this use
full institution. Such an one is needed in
every city and more so in this, as we
have the finest gymnasium in New Eng
land. Wealthy men and women, who
take no interest in it, would do kind act
and assist the cause by subscribing for
membership in the club and transfer it to
some poor but honorable young man not
able to procure one. Only short time
remains for the members to swell the
membership so that the institution can be
safely started and have sufficient to make
it success. There is no doubt but that,
if this institution was an out-of-town af-
fair, it would be more literally support
ed, but seldom is Bridgeport willing to
support its home institutions. These
should always be first, in order that our
sister cities may see that, should any of
their citizens want to permanently re-
move here with any business or enter
prise, they would feel confident of being
literally supported on account of being
a citizen of our we'll known city. Let
our citizens act at once in this NATTER
