Men show q slavish devotion to trade
marks. They buy a particular brand of
-four, and no flour appears of any value
unless it is got in a certain colored paper
bag, with a well known name written in
blue ink across the front. They do not
seek the best -four, but the kind which has
a peculiar trade mark pasted on the cover.
On the same principle that mankind buys
it's food, it chooses its clothes, furnishes its
house, and reads its books. 1t dares not
trust its own judgment; it follows the
crowd; it declines to respect any merit ex-
cept that of popularity.
Is the book you praise by So-and-so1 In
that case of course it must DE good, and it
is necessary to read it. Nor BY Such-a-
onei Ali who is Such-a-one? IL there is
anything worth reading in his book, you
may depend he has copied it from So-and-
so. Why, nobody ever heard of him be-
forel How is it possible for a thing to be
excellent which lacks the stamp of fashion
able approval?
Why should not "Such-a-one's" thought
be as good as "So-and-so's" Truth is no
respecter of persons. One of his arrows
may sink as deeply into the heart of Hobbs,
the carpenter, as into the heart of the wis
est philosopher. Is not a saying true or a
truth immortal unless there is written at
the beginning, Emerson says" or printed
at the end, "By Shakespeare
So-and-so once was obscure. He worked
his way to the goal with the same difficulty
that Such-a-one finds. 1t is true he reached
it, while thousands of Such-a-ones fall TO
the ground. Yet the utterances Of these
may have been as wise and their thoughts
as noble. By and by, when Such-a-one has
gained few friends, the best of men will
press, each eager to be first to do him
honor Yet his voice may have become less
ringing, and his words not so thrilling as
they are today. To recognize the truth,
and not merely the authority for the truth,
is n rare virtue. Few there are who pos
sess it.-Harper's Bazaar

At Outs Over Business.

New YORK, Dec. 23.-The executive
board of the Life Union Insurance
society and its secretary are at odds.
AS result the board is holding q
meeting today to take steps to depose
the secretary. The secretary. Mr.
Ralph Marden, told the board that
the society was in bad way finan
cially, and that it's only salvation
lay in amalgamating with some more
prosperous firm. He submitted a
proposition from the Citizens Mutual
Life Insurance Association. The
board called Mr.. Marden an alsrmist
and demanded his resignation. He
refused to resign, and they made
charges against him of incompetency,
inefficiency, and a willful disregard
of the orders of the board of directors
and the executive committee.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

The appointment of Steve Elkins as
secretary of war Ia confirmed by the
senate in Executive session.
The democratic hosts in congress
are eulogizing Crisp'a generalship of
his forces during the late speakersnip
contest.
A column dispatch from Washing
ton, wired the democratic press, could

do not know about Elkins' appoint
ment"
News is received at Washington
from the United States consul at La
redo, of the trouble along the border,
and the matter has been referred to
the war department.
Catchins, who was Crisp's lieuten-
ant general during the speakership
battle, is looked forward to as the
coming man to engineer the demo
cratic fight during the presidential
campaign of 1892.
After stating for q week that Elkins
was made war secretary in answer
to Blaine's demand the Washington
correspondents now assert that the
nomination was made by Harrison in
hostility to Blaine. The speculative
news mongers at the national capital
are Mother Grundy's.

The Passion play as presented in

Opens the Hornets Nest

New ORLEANS, Dec. 23.-The badly
mixed political campaign in this state
begins tonight. A mammoth mass
meeting will be held at the Washing
ton Artillery hall, and Hon. Murphy
J. Foster and several of the other
candidates on the Anti.Lottery Dem.
ocratic ticket will speak. The repub-
lIcan party in this state seems
TO be about as badly split as
the democratic. One wing is
known as the Warmoths faction
and is composed of the better element
of that party, it comprises nearly all
the white republicans; this wing is
strongly anti-lottery. The other.
faction is known as the Herwig
crowd, and favors the lottery. Her
wig himself is one of the principal
sock holders in the lottery. The fight
is growing interesting. The breach
in neither party is likely 70 be healed,
aud il is thought by some that the
WaImoth republicans and the anti
l)ttery democrats will combine, and
that the Herwig republicans will
c slesce with the lottery democrats.
