PaReo COMMENTS.
A Pailuts"-wbo Has Failed

prohibition ls failure :" Is the shout
that goes out from the saloons. And
the echo of it is heard In the subservi.
ent newspapers and the political circles
that are under the influence Of appetite
or cowardice, or controlled by men
ready for trading. Ask for the eviden-
ces OF failure and we are told that ambi-
tious leaders have abandoned the
cause, but ,Iudases and Arnolds
are not characters new to this
generation. and their treason has not
been conclusive evidence that the cause
men like them have abandoned was a
bad or a losing one. That the law Is
not strictly enforced, Is urged in evil
dence. but no law ever was, except the
immutable laws of God, and yet we
do not call human laws failures because
law less and wicked and weak men break
or evade them. And again, we are told
that prohibition Is failure, because in
many places where 1t Is the law public
sentiment Is against 1t, and appetite and
greed lead men to break it, and public
tiicials are induced by sympathy or
bribery TO close their eyes, and violate
their obligations to society and their
oaths OF office. These things do indeed
show that there has been a failure. But
truth is not failure because
men lie. Righteousness is not a
failure because men do wrong.
The principles of Justice are not a failure
because men violate them, The failure
Is In the men who lie, they have not come
up to the standard of truth; in the men
who steal, they have not come up to the
standard OF integrity; in all wrong doors
because they have fallen short OF duty
and privilege. The community that
winks at violations of law is a
failure the officials which ignore
such violations are failures the party
that helps and encourages the violation
of law ia failure; the newspaper that
lacks principle whatever its financial
standing may be-is failure; the tip
pier, like the seller, is failure. The
thing that is right is never failure;
overthrown it is still right. 1t is the
men who do not comprehend 1t, and who
oppose it even successfully, who are
failures, in that they do not come up to
the full standard of nfanhood's oppor-
tunities and privileges.

RANG OUT LIKE A FIRE BELL.


How Smiths Repeater Made a Sensations
at = stereopticon Lecture.
There is certain young man of this
town whose newly welded wife pre-
sented him with superb gold watch
that not only chimed off the time when
spring was pressed but told the day Of
the month and the phases Of the moon.
1t also kept good time. He was natu-
rally proud Of his chronometer, and was
always ready to oblige his friends by
letting them look into its intricate
works, which you must admit showed
him to be young man of marvellous
good temper. But this same beautiful
watch was the cause of his undoing a
few nights ago.
forgot to mention that the outer case
Of this timepiece bore the monogram &c.
W. s." in brilliants, by which you may
infer that his married name was George
Washington Smith.
This evening in question he and Mrs.
Smith were rejoicing at dinner over the
thought that they should soon'see her
sister, who was coming on from the
west to visit them in their new home,
and incidentally send on private daily
report to her mother of how George was
treating M4ude. They were to meet her
at the 0rahd Central station on the ar
rival of the train due at half past 8
o'clock, and decided to put in the hour
and half they had to spare by looking
In at much advertised stereopticon lee
ture.
They went and enjoyed themselves so
well that they well nigh forgot their en-
gagement, but picture Of the st. Pan
cras station in London made Maude gasp
convulsively: -Oh, George, do look at
your watch, dear. I'm so afraid we've
overstaid our timer
George made astrenuous effort to get
sight of the dial in the Egyptian dark
ness of the hall, but could not. and his
wife noticing his difficulty said, Touch
the repeater spring, you goose
The lecturer had just concluded very
sad anecdote and made an impressive
pause, when the hour chime in Georges
watch began to fairly boom out nine
strokes. II had never sounded one tenth
so loud before, and nervous old lady a
few seats back began to whimper .Fire!"
There was wild craning of necks in the
audience, and Mrs. Smiths cheeks be-
came SO red that--as her husband told
her afterward-they glowed like live
Goals
George wrapped first his handkerchief
and then his coat about the watch, but
to no effect, for both the hour and the
minute bells said all they had to say in
tones that vibrated painfully through
the deadly stiffness of the house.
When they finally ceased the lecturer,
with fine sarcasm, said. will the little
boy please bring his gong up here and
ring it in full view of the audienceY"
A shout Of laughter broke the strain,
and under its cover George and Maude
staggered up the aisle and out into
Broadway They saw in a jewelers.
window that it was twenty-five minutes
past o'clock (they hal entirely for
gotten to count therepeater strokesl, and
just had time enough to get up to the
station in a cab and meet their guest.
Mr.. Smith has not worn the watch
since then, and Mrs. Smith said to me
the other day, Wasn't George foolish
to press that repeater springs-New
