PUBLIC AND PRIVATE MORALITY

Bardsley, late city treasurer of
Philadelphia, has got away with
several hundred thousand dollars OF
the peoples money. An investigation
shows an astonishing state of financial
and moral looseness in the manage
ment OF the city's fiscal affairs. The
treasurer took the public money when
ever he needed it. He lent it to his
friends, exacting sDe security, but TAX
isE only dpsr5flls that were put in the
iqksh drawer. One man, a justice of
fbssupreme court, has due bills against
him for $4,000. Very little money
will ever be collected on these bills, as
most OF them are worthless. 1t is held
by lawyers that Bardsley cannot be
punished nor held liable by the city
for his stealings, as it cannot be proved
that the city had acquired vested
right to the money he stole. The pro-
sSer6ial acuteness of the philadelphia
lawyer" may keep him out of the peni-
tSnGlafy anu TURN MIN loose on tho
world as prosecuted man.
CThere is no denying that Bardsley
held a position of trust as custodian
of the public funds of Philadelphia.
There is no denying that through his
corrupt mismanagement these funds
have been dishonesty appropriated,
and are lost to the state. Such be-
ing confessed, it is hard to see why
Bardsley is not a common thief But
there is distinction, the lawyers say,
between this sort of theft and that
theft which consists of taking an
others horse. This distinction is ex-
pected to save Bardsley
a few weeks ago. the ex-treasurer.

Why, year or two ago, when Mills of
Texas was losing strength in his dis
trict, that was what he did, and that is
how he kept his seat in congress-"

THE Fffty-second congress will make
law for the free coinage of silver.
That is certain. The house Of repre-
sentatives will vote for it, because that
body is Democratic, and the Democrats
demand it. The senate will do so be-
cause the Republican senators from the
silver-producing states will unite, with
the Democratic senators and make a
majority for free coinage. Then the
bill will go to President Harrison.
What will he do with it? He will not
dare to veto it in the heat of a presi-
dental campaign, with California, Colo
RADIO. Nevada and Montana threatening
to 60 Democlatic if he does so. Free
and unlimited coinage of silver is in
sight.

inhabitants, is situated in the center OF the

farming district in the state Here we have
good schools, churches and business houses

Over 100 sections OF good school

the whole-souled, generOus-hearted, open

brethren seeking homes in Il new, healthy

MAKE THEM RULERS IN FACT.

The Democrats OF the country can
unite with the Peoples party on one
plank of their platform. The demand
for the election of all elective officers
by the people is a just demand. Had
such an electoral system been in force,
Cleveland would now be president Of
the United States, the senate would be
Democratic, and the government would
be entirely in the hands OF that party.
Cleveland's popular majority over Har-
rison was $1,000. A direct vote of the
people would have made him president.
a number of states that usually are
Democratic by the popular vote, among
turn Republican legislatures that send
Republicans to the senate. A direct
vote of the people in those states would
give US four senators instead of one.
The electoral college and legislative
election of senators keep this govern
ment in the hands of minority party.
There are mossbacks who cherish the
tradition Of state sovereignty who will
stand up against the proposed change
because it obliterates state lines. A
popular vote for president takes no &C.
count of Texas or New York as states,
but the voter counts for as much in one
state as in the other. The theory OF
the electoral college is that the presi-
dent is elected by the states, each act
ing as distinct sovereignty. That is
not 50 bad theory, if We agree tlat
this is only q confederation of sover-
eign states, the voters being citizens of
the states and not of the confederation
but since the Fourteenth amendment,
which makes US citizens of the United
States as a nation, it looks absurd to
keep on voting by states for the ruler
of a nation. If 'the people rule" they
should rule as one people, and not as
forty-four distinct aggregations of peo-
pie.
Nothing can be said for the indefeh-
sible system OF choosing United States
senators by the state legislatures unless
it is contended that the Office is SO
exalted that the compeaalty should not
have dealing With it except through
the mediups of state Legislatures.
The clajpsfs not likely to be put forth
that nc products of legislative cleo
ticfs for the past ten years are in any
degree better than the
people would have sent to the senate
if they had had the power.
The people rule by proxy. Give
them the right to select their proxies
by direct voice.

good. We have had plenty of rain.
HOLLAND, BELL COUNTY, June ia
soaking rain fell here yesterday evening,
filling the bitches and small streams. The
farmers are jubilant over the bright pros
pect OF an abundant crop. Oats are being
harvested; yield reported good.
Baird Callahan County.-The farmers are
making rapid Roadway in threshing their
wheat, and the yield is far beyond any
reasonable expectation.
Decatur, Wise County.-The farmers in
this county are busily engaged in harvest
ing their wheat crop, which is heavier this
season than for several years past. Corn is
also doing well and will soon be made, and
will require but little more rain to insure a
heavy crop. Cotton is rather small for this
season of the year, but is growing very
fast and the outlook is indeed encouraging.
The cotton and corn crops in Colorado
county are fourishing and everything
points to heavy yield.
The crops Of Wharton county are needing
rain.
The peach and berry crop in Rains county
can't be surpassed.
Peaches and blackberries are marketed
at Iowa Park daily, and the crop proves to
be the finest and largest for many years.
A fine rain fell at Amarillo on Tuesday
evening. Barley, wheat and oats are now
an assured crop in Potter county.
From present indications the pecan crop
OF the Medina valley will be the largest
yield ever known.
Green corn, watermelons, vegetables,
berries and fruits are becoming plentiful in
the Castroville market
The watermelon crop Of Walker county Is
In q very promising condition and viii

days.

100 much was it for the naked eye to
look at. Too much was it for human
strength to experience.
My friends, / would not wonder if
you should have
VERY SIMILAR VISION
after awhile. You will be through this
world, it's cares, and fatigues, and
struggles, and if you have served the
Lord and done the best you could, /
should not wonder if your dying bed
were a Patmos. It often has been SO.
Twas reading OF dying boy who,
while the family stood around sorrow
fully expecting each moment would be
the last cried: "Open the gates!
Open the gates! Happy Happy!
Happy" You see the time will
come when you will, oh child of
God, be exiled to your last sickness as
much as John was exiled to Patmos.
You will go into your room not to
come out again, for God IS going to do
something better and grander and
happier for you than he has ever yet
done! There will be such visions let
down to your pillow as God gives no
man If he is ever to return to this
same world. The apparent feeling of
uneaslness and restlessness at the
time OF the Ceristian's departure, the
physicians say, is caused by no real
distress. 1t is an unconscious and in
voluntry movement, and I think in
many cases it is the vision of heaven
ly gladness too great for mortal en-
durance. 1t is only heaven breaking
in on the departing spirit. You see
your work will be done and the time
for your departure will be at hand,
and there will be wings over you and
wings under you, and songs let loose
on the air, and your old faith
er and mother gone for years
will descend into the room, and
your little children whom YOU
put away for the last sleep years ago
will be on your foreheads, and you
will see gardens in full bloom, and the
swinging open of shining gates, and
will hear voices
LONG AGO HUsHED.
AS on that day in the Grecian
Archipelago, Patmos began to fade
| out OF sight, walked to the stern of
the ship that I might keep my eye on
the enchantment as long as I could,
and the voice that sounded out of
heaven to John the exile in the cavern
on Patmos seemed sounding in the
waters that dashed against the side
of our ship. "Behold the tabernacle
of God is with men, and He will dwell
with them, and they shall be His peo-
pie and God Himself shall be with
them and be their God, and God shall
wipe away all tears from their eyes,
and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow nor crying, neither
shall there be any more pain, for the
former things are passed away" !.

His Wife'S PrjSa

The wife of an employee Of the Penn
sy1vania railroad gave a very anus
ing exhibition OF family pride in dry
goods store a few days ago. Her hus-
band is a very tall, thin man; the
chest measure of his clothing is very
small, and when he buys undercloth-
ing he gets the smallest sizes. His wife
is a large woman. She had gone into
a store to purchase underclothing for
her husband, and while standing at
the counter examining the goods, a
little bit of q woman came in and see
ing the goods being displayed, said:
'That is what I want; some under
shirts for my husband. No. 38,
please?"
"What number will you have?' said
the salesman, addressing the first wo-
man. .."
No. SO, please" was the reply.
The two women bought the same
size garments, one buying for a big
chested and the other for narrow
chested man. When the latter took
her purchase home and displayed it
to her husband he was astonished to
find the shirts so big. He Said:
'What the--did you buy such big
shirts for?"
because"
"Well, because what? I can't wear
them"
81 don't care. I was not going to
stand alongside of a little bit of a.
woman and buy shirts for little bit
OF man when she was buying shirts
for q great big man. If you haven't
any pride I have; that's why | bought
the big shirts. ."-Wilmington News.
