TOO MUCH CONFIDENCE.

1t has gotten to be such common
occurrence for young girls to be en-
trapped into matrimonial alliance
which brings them only shame and
modification, that something should
be done to save them from the em~
barrassing position into which so
so many have fallen of late. The
punishment for the crime is only a
short term in the penitentiary, and
too often the scoundrel who has
bligh Ted the whole life of an inno-
cent girl is let off with a light sem
tenco and is soon ready to repeat his
crime. The Americas Times-Re-
corder says, il the punishment was
dealt out in large doses it would de-
ter great many from venturing
into a second matrimonial alliance
when there is already one in exist
ence.
The girls, too, could often protect
themselves by little investigation
of the past history of the man who
comes to them perfect stranger,
and seeks to inveigle them into an
alliance which he knows is illegal.
An honest man would readily give
references where his past history
could be obtained and it would not
embarass him at all for the girl to
desire to know something of him be-
fore trusting her future happiness
into his keeping, and any one who
would refuse to give the necessary
references should be summed as a
viper.

HONESTY.

Honesty is the best policy" even
from selfish standpoint as we'll as the
safest aud surest il all lines of con-
duct, to say nothing of it being right
and just in principle. The man who
is not honest, because he loves hon
esty, and prizes it above pelf, pow
er and prosperity, might from ''pol'
icy" act honest, because he knows
the law would punish him for dis
honesty. Remove the law and the
fear of punishment, and he would
abandon his honesty for policy sake
and turn thief and bandit. But
there is more hoI esty prevalent
than dishonesty This principle is
more generally practlced, and men
love it and shape their conduct &C
cordingly. We have great conf
dence in the honesty and honor of
most men. We believe the majority
of them will do right. They GER
tainly love fair play and justice, and
condemn wrong doing and injustice.
Now and then some trusted State
official, cashier of bank or merchant
proves an embezzler and defaulter
or cheat and swindler, and your
confidence receives shock, but re-
member how many men are true to
trusts, faithful and honest in the
many positions of honor and avoca>
lions of life, from year to year. and
you will frankly concede that honor
and honesty are the dominant prin>
ciples that influence and shape the
lives of men. If this were not so,
then the courts, jai(s and peniten-
tiaries would be crowded, but as it
is the per cent. of criminals are
comparatively small compared to our
great population. With sound NOR
ais, good laws and Outstanding in
huences to create healthy public
sentiment, human depravity will de-
crease and honesty will be augment
ed. We believe in. good triumphs
ing over evil. Honesty and truth
ale living principles and cannot die.
They must live because they are of
Divine origin. They must triumph
because they are unconquerable.
And the man who thinks all men
are dishonest will bear watching.
His heart is full IF rOttenness and
dead mems bones.

married her he had another wife in
Arkansas with whom he has been
in the habit of spending a part of

gone away for his health. The two
wives would probably have remained
