MR.. EDMUNDs, with his sOphisticaI
mind, argues, with some plausibility,
that if the cloture resolution had been
presented at a time when no partisan
measure was pending, there would
not voice in the Senate, perhaps,
have been raised against its passage.
This might be true. At such a time
the cloture resolution might seem a
very harmless, innocent sort OF thing.
There might not at such time be
found Senator with mind so warped
by partisan hate as to conceive the
dangerous and wicked proportion the
little thing could grow to. 1t looks
we'll and sounds fair, and at such q
time as Mr.. Edmunds speaks OF,
statesmen and patriots might give it
a friendly passage. Such is not this
time however, and it is fortunate for
the country that it was introduced, II
introduced it must be, at a time when
tional rights are on their guard, and
when this bastard French offspring
of an Ubiquitous Federal Force law,
will be disrobed of its smiling mask
and its hideous deformity and Tooth
some purpose made known to all men.
The clOture resolution is, in sub
lance, the French for calling the pre-
vious question. To call the previous
question when the subject has been
fairly and fully discussed, is a very
proper thing; to call it for the pur-
pose of shutting off debate, for the
purpose of throttling the minority, is.
a very improper thing; therefore the.
cloture resolution is vile or inno-
cent dependent upon the purpose for
which it Ii Introduced; and in this
instance it was introduced for the ex-
pressed purpose of shutting off debate
on the Federal election law, the most
important measure the Senate will
have for its consideration, and the
one of most vital and intense interest
to the people. Therefore, at this
time, all that is pusillanimus in poll
ties is embodied in the cloture rule. |

LAST Friday night the Board of
Mayor and Aldermen passed an ordi-
nance to prohibit the obstruction of
the public highways of the city"

and, if it means anything, means
that loafers cannot congregate on the
pavements and mOnopolize them to
the inconvenience of the business
public; it means the jockey yard
must move its quarters outside the
city limits; it means that the public
square and the public streets in front
of livery stables are not built for the
exclusive use of horse and mule
traders; that these gentlemen must
resort to the stock yards or have back
yards Of their own; that the public
streets are built and kept up by pub
lie taxation and not to be apprOpri-
ated for private purposes. That is
what theEaw means if it means any
thing, add it specially provides that
it is made the duty of the City Mar

Chapel Services.

Rev. Father O'Brien preached from the Gospel
OF st. Luke, K, 1881 which contains the parable
OF the Good Samaritan. Father O'Brien spoke
upon Pride and Humility; saying, there is no
virtue more esteemed than humility, and no vice
SO condemned as pride. Yet humility is the least
practiced Of all the virtues. He stgmatized pride
as capital sin and one containing the ingredients
OF every other sin. When it is not resisted it
gains control Of the souls of men. and they with
draw from the allegiance they owe to God; they
separate themselves from all that is good, and
they take to themselves all the credit that belongs
to God. But God will not tolerate this from men,
and sooner or later He will humiliate them. Vain
glory has for its object the earthly wealth. honors
and the applause of men. The vainglorious do
all their good acts to gain the applause of the
multitude. There is no other sin that steals upon
us SO insidiously as this sin of pride, and very
few are free from it. 1t is common even IN the
ranks of Christianity. Some boast of their great
abilities, and others undertake things beyond
their powers simply to attract fattering attention
to themselves. They become jealous of their su.
periors and can see no honesty and unselfshness
of purpose in their goodness. We should pray
God to make US humble. for whatever we have to
be proud Of we owe it to Him.

The IS BlOW.Out.s,

If there is man that can be compared to
ship without compass. it is the discharg-
ed prisoner. Of course there are excep.
tons. l am only speaking in general
The discharged prisoner is fully aware of
the fact that he must make his own living;
but this is not the thought that is upper
most in his mind. He has few dollars in
his pocket and the near prospect of blow
out" as it is termed, blinds him. as it were,
to the necessity of Immediately securing
something to do. He is confident that
something will turn up before his small
capital is exhausted; so he dismisses the sub.
ject from his mind altogether for the time
being and thinks only of the present 1t is
unnecessary to follow him through his
blow out" Suffice it to say that his good
time lasts only as long as his purse. When
he comes to state of mind in which he
can reason sOberly, he finds that be has
reckOned without mine host" He exam
ines the state of his finances, and probably
finds that he has only few pennies that he
had overlooked. He now realizes his great
mistake, but too late. He must now either
swim or drown.
That is about the case with the average
convict who leaves prison with the inten-
ton of having his pleasure before providing
something for rainy day. And it serves
to illustrate the necessity of getting to work
as soon as possible OH leaving prison. 1t
is the first thing that an ex-convict
should dO-get wOrk-and when he has got
it, stick to it whatever it is until something
better can be had. There are some who
have learned trade before coming to pris-
on. and others who have acquired skill in
certain lines of work during their confine-
ment. and they expect to get employment in
these lines On leaving prison. They are
rather reluctant to accept whatever work
they can get. but wait for an opening in
their own line of work which they have no
uneasiness about finding before there funds
are exhausted. But as time rolls on and
they find themselves short of the "needful"
they are at first bewildered, and later, as
their funds are completely exhausted. a
don't care" feeling comes over them. 1T
is no uSe," they eXclaim. Every avenue of
employment seems now closed to them, and
they at this moment of weakness break all
their past resolutions and rush headlong
back into crime. With this class l would
say. as F. B. H. puts it in a recent issue of
THE MIRROR, it is more the result of dis
appointment than lack of willingness to
earn living by honest toll. As the script
ure says, The spirit Is willing. but the
flesh is weak" They have the desire to
keep within the bounds of the law. but
seem to lack the determination to persevere
when the tide turns against them.

How well YOU know, and how many times you
have thought 1t, that the sure time to put out a
fire. ia in the beginning, when the flames are small
.nd the nressure of the foot even will stamp them
out.
And vet although you know this, although you
fully realize the necessity Of quick work and the
danger of delay in case of fire, in those nsidious
fires of disease which break out in our bodies and
which threaten our health and life, you are stu
pidly or ignorantly careless.
Do YOU not know that as the small flames IN a
house, If allowed to progress, will soon wrap the
whole structure in ruin, so the little and appar-
emily trivial ailments and symptoms W hich un-
dermine our health if allowed to develop, Will
soon involve the body in fatal disease:
A little hacking cough, slight fever attended
with more or less prostration, will, unless arrest
ed, result in the fires Of consumption.
A weakness from spring debility, loss OF appe
tite, Indigestion blliousness and constipation
will in time kindle the fires OF physical exhaus
ton.
Nervousness, lack of energy or ambition,a tiree
feeling rising as tired mornings as when you &c
to bed will end in nervous prostration
Giddiness, swimming of the head, strange faln
feelings, short BREATH sinking sensation, paiplta
ton of the heart, feeling of apprehension OF
anxiety as Of impending danger, mean that un
less checked Immediately you will die suddenly
of heart failure.
Cold feet and legs, weakness and WEAKNESS Of
limbs, trembling, numbness or prickling sensa
ton, are the sure precursors of paralysis.
Headache, loss of memory, confused mind, dull
and heavy feeling in head, drowsiness during thu
day and wakefulness at night, gloom and depres
sion of mind, sense of exhaustion after menta
exertion, feeling of irritabiity, crossness o.
encouragement, are sure signs of the approach
of that terrible fire of the brain-insanity.
