There are some people who make it
their business to spy and tattle about
their neighbors. When a scandal is
raised or some suspicion can be created
about someone, especially something
rejecting upon the virtue Of neigh
Dor, from that moment, by day and by
night, watchful eyes are upon him or
her and tongues are busy. While
few citizens pass along quietly minding
their own business, the spies and tat
tiers are having festival of scandal.
Sinners themselves they are busy cast
ing stones at the unfortunate detected
ones in their community. These scan
dial mongers seem never to have the
slightest notice that it is none of their
business how any one lives, so long as
decency is observed and crimes are not
committed; that no person has any
right to spy upon neighbours conduct
peep into windows to see how other
people live and listen under tables of
private houses TO crafty their insatia-
BILE love of scandal. Does a citizen
take a private drink or set bottle of
beer or wine upon his table, though
living in strictly temperate commu-
nifty, soon it becomes subject for
tattle among these people. Does he
neglect to have family worship, though
a member of church that requires
such worship, some persons disclose
the fact and gabble about it. No
doubt when some persons habitually
and publicly misconduct themselves,
public opinion ought to come down
upon them. But life is a dreary and
hopeless scene where every peccadillo
and even worse falling comes under
the poisonous tongue of spies and
tattlers. 1t is little better than life in
strict Nohammedan times where In.
formers go about seeking out whoever
may be using tobacco and wine, to
strip and whip them. Whatever COM
mandment stands first, certainly
"mind your own business is second,
and sure we are that whoever obeys
the first one Of all, "Do as you would
be done by" will mind his own bust
ness and will turn a scornful visage on
the purveyor of tattle and scandal.

To Her Beloved Editor.

A Roman lady died lately who had
been a faithful reader of one certain
newspaper most Of her lifetime. She
was very intelligent woman indeed.
She possessed good taste and intuitive
discrimination rare even among women.
She likewise appreciated talent when
she saw it to an extent such as is given
to few mortals.
Therefore she willed all her fortune
to the writer of the editorials which had
given her so much help. In return for
the good he had unconsciously done her
during so many years, she did him a
very great good indeed. Rest to her
soul, and sweet happiness eternal in para
disc be hers. Go thou and do likewisel
But why not? 1t is true the editor of
a newspaper is not now the impecunious
individual he used to be, thanks to his
own talent and shrewdness. Country ed
itors had it the toughest in the old time,
but even the country editor no longer
devotes half column of thanks to the
woman who sends him a mince pie. Not
he. He holds up his head as a man
among men, and asks no favors that he
cannot return. But it is not uncommon
for individuals to give bequest to the
faithful doctor, who has been able per-
haps to make life little easier for them.
1t is really common for both men and
women in their wills to remember hand
somely their beloved pastor. Why not
also their beloved editor? Perhaps this
Italian lady's example will become catch
iru

The Association of Collegiate Alum
nae among other good works has raised
funds for the establishment of two schol-
arships year to members of the asso-
citation. One is for a years study in
Europe, the other for years study in
this country. Thus a member of this
association is supplied with money
enough to study in Europe or at home a

uate course. At the end of the year,
however, she steps down and out and
another one of the sisterhood takes her

Henry Watterson makes four stro-

Henry Watterson makes four strong
points against Cleveland's candidacy.
He believes that the soldier element
which was opposed to him before will
be opposed to him again in greater
numbers; that the silver element which
was not opposed to him before would
be hostile to him now; that he would
lose large following in New York
state which he had before, and that he
could not be elected. These are all
good points, and many Democrats be-
sides George Hazard and d. H. Gill
man are of exactly the same opinion as
Mr.. Watterson.

AT the request of the committee in
charge of the G.. A. r. encampment
Mrs. Ella Higginson has written a
little poem which is certain to add
materially to her reputation in the
literary world. 1t is entitled Gamer
lea, Awake" and its three verses are
full of patriotic inspiration and heroic
sentiments which the veterans of the
terrible war for slavery's abolition and
the Unions preservation will not fail
to appreciate.

Fighting Public Wrongs.

There is one sure way to redress pub
lie wrong. If the people who are in
jured take enough interest in the mat
ter to fight the evil, in this age Of the
world they can destroy it every time.
They have only to arouse public opinion
solidly against it. Let them agitate,
petition, write, call mass meetings and
speak out powerfully from truth and
honest conviction, and in time the evil
must fall, though it tower mountain
high. There should be no let up till the
monster fabric falls. This may some
times take long time, but the fabric
must go.
The trouble with those who suffer
from injustice is that they only sit down
and whine, instead of arising and fight
ing by the peaceable weapons of elo-
quence and argument. 1t is so much
easier to sit down and whine. It is 30
much easier to lay all blame upon the
bloated monopolists and oppressors. 1t
is easier even to blow the monopolists'
heads off with dynamite, only that he
who resorts to this method runs the risk
of getting his own head taken off. Be-
sides, dynamite is not convincing an
gument; but logic, justice and good will
are, and they win at last every time. In
our day an aroused public opinion is a
force against which no power on earth
can stand. 1t will melt down any mo-
nopoly; it will dissolve away any III
EQUITY. Arouse it and see.
But most of us are too lazy and re-
gardless of the common good to try it.

1t looked peculiar to the outside eye,
that determined and successful effort of
the lay delegates in the Methodist gen.
eral conference to get themselves seated
apart from the ministerial delegates at
Omaha. Was it because of an impress
sion that the ministers would try to boss
them, or did they feel like a schoolboy-
little sheepish and not quite at ease
when the preacher was around?

Room for All.

One is rather surprised to have Mr..
Edward Atkinson say in The Forum
that there is nothing he despises so much
as bare statistics. Then, as if to clinch
the announcement, he Immediately pro-
ceeds to quote from Sir Edwin Arnolds
poem, 1.-The Light of the World" some
lines about Love, which is sunlight of
peace, age by age to increase" etc.
This increasing love and good will to
ones fellow man is what Mr.. Atkinson
hopes will be the constant tendency in
this his beloved country as time goes
on. Then he tells us that here in Amer
lea we have room for all the immigrants
that can come to us. No one can "fore-
see any lack of land within any com
putable period of time, for the reason
that no one yet knows the productive
capacity of en- acre of land anywhere :"
He calls to our attention the millions Of
acres Of unoccupied land in Texas, in
the south and on the abandoned farms"
of the east. They only want the touch
of an enlightened agriculture to make
them burst with fairness.
As to our immigrants, in spite of all
the millions that have come to us in the
past ten years, wages for labor has
steadily increased. And finally. as to
the slowness with which the foreigners
learn the English and go in for educa-
ton, the writer sends the following
home thrust, which for neatness is hard
to excel:
have yet 10 hear Of any great crowd Of
foreigners in any contested section OF our
country who have been as slow In recent years

There may be something in the idea
of charging electric accumulators dur
ing the day with the electricity gener-
ated by the heat of the household range
or furnace and making them light the
house in the evening. The heat passes
from the range through a series of
thermopiles to the accumulation.

the members OF their families ear

leaving them alone in their houses.
For twenty years they had lived
thus, and their days went by peace
fully aud happily.
Ons morning in May, Caleb was
IN the garden back Of his house,
proddiny away with his hoe, aud
Maria was in hers fixing a flower
bed.
It's hao morning. Maria, call

marked Caleb, dragging tangled
weed from his hoo handle.

or to the fence.
Il say, Maria he said, I've been

fence. Your pa and mine put it up
here forty years ago, but 'twan't
never much use. What do you say
to takin' it DOWN.
Might ez we'll ez not, | guess,
Caleb assented Maria, without
changing her position.

an AK in his band, was back again.

Maria went on with her digging,
while Caleb hewed and chopped at
the wooden fence, and at last the
work was done.

said.

responded, with faint glow OF
color in her cheeks and neck.
Caleb seemed to be trying to
swallow something that would not

and failed, and then he tried to go
to her and that was gu ignominious
failure also. At last he made a
successful effort at speech.
