THERE is need of a more thorough
moral enforcement of the command
ment, ''Thou shalt not steal" Young
men should be made to understand that
they have no right to take without
leave what does not belong to them
for their own uses, even though they
seriously and conscientiously determine
to return it to the owner. That is en-
bezzlement, and the return of the ''bor-
rowed" money or thing does not change
the name of the misdemeanor. 1t is
well to remember that dishonesty and
crime are the same, whether one gets
caught or not, and regardless of resolu-
tions for future restitution.

The New York Sun says that if cur
rent reports of railroad earnings are to
be relied upon the gross earnings for
the calendar year 1890 were per cent.
more than in 1889. Taking the figures
for 1889 given in Poor's Manual as a
basis the Sun therefore places the total
gross earnings of the railroads during
1890 at 81, 100, OOo 900 and the net earn
ings at 1858, 100000. To this should be
added Sc, ooo,ooo receipts from miscel-

about ~$40s, 100000. This estimate is

of Colorado moved to take up the ap-
point1nent bill. An attempt to table
the motion failed by a vote "a to IS.
The vote was the then taken on Mr..
Wolcott's motion to take up the appor-
tionment bill, and it was carried by a
like vote of IS to "a. There was no
distinct outbreak of applause at the
final success of the movement against
the election bill and the proposed rule,
but tSe feeling of jubilation was not
the less great on the Democratic side.
Six Republicans voted with the Demo
Gratis. Among them was Washburn of
Minnesota.
The thirty-first ballot for U. S. Sena-
tor, was taken by the Illinois legisla-
ture on the Goth without result or
change. Three Alliance members held
the key to the situation.
IT was reported at Topeka, Kas., on
the night of the Goth that the Union Pa
cific train on which the Seventh cavalry
were passengers on their way from the
Northern Indian country to the post at
Fort Riley, Kas., had been wrecked.
At Irving, Kas., the train collided with
passenger train. Both engineers and
their firemen are reported killed and
several passengers injured. 1t is not
known whether any of the soldiers are
among the injured. A train was made
up for them and they were sent on thei,
way to Fort Riley.

Ridge on the 26th for Chicago, leaving

THE refusal or neglect of Congress to
provide adequately, if not generously,
for the wants Of the life-saving-service
can not be excused upon the ground
that it's work is experimental. Taking
the record of its accomplishments dur
ing a single year-1ss9-it proves that
the valuerof the service far outweighs
its cost. The saving in a twelve-month
of nearly $500 lives is worth more than
s1,00n.o 900, if such a precious saving can
be estimated at all If it is not worth
that, then certainly the value of the
property saved, s., 500, 900, is worth the
Sl,00o,000 invested; it leaves a margin
OF gain equal to nearly 500 per cent.

A TERRIBLE LESSON.

Inc AWFUL Consequences OF DAllyinE with
the Temper.
The following incident is full of les
sons for reformed men. 1t comes direct
from leader in Gospel Temperance
work:
A good-hearted man who was under
the power of drink reformed and re-
manned steadfast for nine years, amass-
ing fifty thousand dollars in money, be-
coming a director in an important Tenn
perance institution, and being instru-
mental in saving one hundred and
sixty-three men who had fallen. At tho
end of nine years he felt altogether
safe, became proud of his success, did
not like to have any one know he was a
reformed man, and ceased to attend and
work in the Temperance meetings. A
saloon-keeper got hold of him and
offered to wager ten dollars that this
reformed man of nine years standing
could not walk around the block with q
teaspoonful of whisky in his mouth. In
the weakness of his pride, the poor fell
low accepted the wager, swallowed the
whisky, his appetite was fercely
aroused, he began to drink, and six
years after this diabolical temptation
he died a drunkard. Let him that
standeth take heed lest he fall and let
him remember that to work in Christ's
name for others is the surest way of
being saved himself ational w. C. T.
