There's nothing small about Las Vegas.
The commercial club of that place has
authorized" the governor OF New Next

the gentlemen OF the club simply 'author'

The National Vice.

Herbert Spencer declares that COM
plete truthfulness is the rarest Of vir-
tues, and King David declared In his
haste that all men were liars, Bob In
gersoll adds that if David had lived in
Chicago he might have said it at his
leisure. Seriously, however, the With
cism as to Chicago is a witticism only,
for the exaggerating habit is prevalent
in America, and if it shows out strong
est at Chicago, why that is only because
that city is so ardently and progressive
ly American.
Some one has said that each nation
has its national vice, as vanity among
the French, treachery among tho people
Of southeastern Europe and drunken
ness among Britons, and that lying is
the national vice of Americans, There
is just enough truth in this to make it
sting, We are terribly careless peo.
pie in our general habits of expression.
Fortunately we know it and do not be-
lieve each other to any dangerous ex-
tent. No one dreams of accepting the
statements in an advertisement as literal
facts. "Let the buyer beware" is not
only law maxim, but it is everyday,
common sense among us.
The effects are both ludicrous and
suggestive. A few years ago an old
New Yorker of more than average in
telligence read Parton's "Life of An
drew jackson" for the first time, and
was so amazed that he hunted up the
author and asked:
"Did you really get proof that Gen.
eral jackson had all those quarrels and
fights?"
Certainly did-had you never heard
of themY"
"Oh, yes," was the cool and candid
response; II read all about them in 1889,
but thought Of course they were cam
paign lies"
Citizens of New York who travel out
west in the rural regions are often
startled and sometimes enraged at the
views they hear about their city. The
plain truth that there is no more crime
in proportion than in most other COM
munities, that taxes are not very high
and that the government is as good as
the average-well, the untraveled rural
lists simply don't believe it. Similarly
man from the Wabash valley who
speaks good English is looked on with
undisguised establishment in some east
ern communities.
Herbert Spencer concludes that long
continued oppression will turn whole
race into organic liars, and there is
painful evidence of its truth. Con-
versely, long continued freedom ought
to make a people truthful, but it seems
to have failed in at least a few cases
that might be mentioned.

Gladstone Booms the Cycle.

Gladstone is an enthusiastic cyclist,
but it is in theory only. He admits that
he is too old to master the softly gliding
wheel, but he is confident its increasing
use is great thing for England. As
might be expected, he maintains that
while improved health and spirits are
good, the greater good will be in enabling
Englishmen to get better acquainted
with one another. He says:
1t is far more profitable than the luxurious
railway journey from the city to some definite
point along an unalterable route, over which
the traveller is whirled with no time for obser-
walton and no opportunity of examining the
district through which he is carried can only
emphasize the fact that l consider that phys
1cally, morally and socially the benefits that
cycling confers on the men of the present day
are almost unbounded.
