sECrIONAL DELUsIONs.

In a farewell discourse to great au-
dience in Boston last Sunday, before
sailing for England, Rev BROOKE HER
FORD, the eloquent Unitarian preacher,
said some things that he possibly might
not have uttered if he we're not about to
leave the city. His theme was "Thlngs
That Have Stirred Me-" introduced by
the words in Acts, "At Athens his
spirit was stirred in him." This is
passage from the discourse:
Why, it is ptiful the way Boston society
thinks and talks of the West 1t is like the
way in which the fashionable Romans of the
latter empire talked of the Germans and
Goths, who were yet stronger than they, and
were to be the very makers OF the new aud
greater world.
Further ON he added:
Hear Boston friends speaking OF any fam
lily that has to move out West or the Boston
mother bewailing the lot of son who has to
so and live in Omaha or Denver. OF course
they admit that some one has TO occupy such
places 10 do their work and live their life;
but for people who have been brought UP
here, in this old home of cultured, ordered
life. it seems SO hard.
The illustration Is made much strong
er by the reference to Omaha and Den
yer than it would be in case of the
Twins. The latter have come to be bet
ter known even in Boston by reason Of
recent events. but it is surprising that
there should be in these days of quick
and constant communication between
the sections so many people who are
unable to remove early delusions
from their minds. 1t is not necessary
to go very far east to find instances of
this. But weellNor two ago lady in
the vicinity of st. Louis, in the midst of
unusual snow and cold, wrote to st.
Paul friend commiserating her on the
suffering that must be endured in the
presumed intense cold and deep SHOWS
at st. Paul. Boston has looked back to
the other Athens and fancied that it had
inherited its culture, refinement and
philosophical genius with modern I'M
provements, and the departing divine
has not drawn too strongly the contra St
ing picture its conceit paints of the
heterogeneous and provincial popula-
tons of the West. Boston has been to
New England much as Paris is to France.
The height of ambition and extent of
adventure to rural thousands shut in by
rocks and hills has been to see Boston:
and if there was conceded to be a good
deal of the country nearer the setting
sun il was to them part of crude civ
ilization, possessing nothing to compare
with the East. In spite of the migra-
ton of the best elements of the New
England stock to the West, there still
remains much of this old-tme delusion.
The West has outgrown any possible
annoyance at it, and would only care
for better understanding for the bene-
fit of those who would find it to their
advantage to move out from the spent
up Utica" into the broader and more
benefcent life of the great West.

THE ASSAULT ON JUSTICE
FIELD

The annals Of shame are adorned by
few more brilliant episodes than Sena-
tor Powers attack on the personal in
tegrity of Mr.. Justice FIELD. The su-
preme court of the United States,
through the character of the men who
have composed it, has grown from an
humble beginning to be the most con-
spicuouS institution in the modern
wOrld-famous for its learning and fair
ness throughout the limits of ciViliza-
ton. The British government not long
ago was willing to submit to its judg-
ment the questions involved in the fish
cries dispute, and our CHILEAN nelghbors
have recently recognized it as a tribunal
to be trusted with the settlement of an
international difference as readily and
completely as neutral power might be.
Its decisions have never been equaled
by any court for lucidity. breadth of
view and profundity Of knowledge.
MARSHALL and STORY and MIL
I.ER rank with the great Gre
ators of the science of juris-
prudence, and even In the heat
Of partisan conflicts it has stood supe-
rior to the criticisms of all but the foul
est of demagogues, and has enjoyed the
respect and confidence of all decent
men. To beSmirch its fair name is an
undertaking which any one of inteIli-
gence and self-restraint would shrink
rom. even if he had unquestioned evil
dence 70 sustain him. 1t were a thou
sand times better to suffer a private
wrong in silence than to have a hand in
undermining this bulwark Of our ma
tional liberty, by which the shifting
passions of our governments more pop
ular branches are stayed and held in
check. There are some things too
sacred and too important to be Sullied,
even when there is mud available for
their tarnishment; and to the American
patriot this court of last resort is one of
them-to be spoken carefully and re-
spectfully of. as the honest speak care
fully and respectfully of the church
and its votaries or of women and inno-
cent young children. Boundaries have
been fixed against the tide of billin gs-
gate. and only the seas slimlest Great
ureS venture inside the breakwater.
Senator POWER has been bred in vul-
gar school, and probably does not admit
the reasonableness of these views. He
holds his seat in the United States sem
ate by virtue of bold political theft.
The creature of bandits, he swaggers
and emits foul curses like brigand.
Nothing else is to be expected of him.
But he should not be allowed to go I'M
marked on this account. He has accused
the foremost lawyer on the suprem e
bench, the last of the powerful intel
lects which guided the nation during
the reconstruction period. of prostitut-
ing his official position at the behest of
moueyed corporations. His charges are
false, and the witnesses he has called to
his support have repudiated him. Judge
FIELD has challenged him to produce
his proofs or to retraet, but he refuses
to do either. He insists on his shame
with insolent emphasis. All this is a
pitiful spectacle. A father of the state
should be capable of better things. But
as long as fraudulent legislatures are

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

The first month of the new year ended
yesterday for the business man, and,
while there has not been as large an in
crease in business activity during the
last half of the month as was anticipated,
the situation averages UP well. Money
is decidedly easy, and the bankers
would prefer to do more lending OH the
right kind of paper than they are at
present. Fhe best sign of the easy con-
dition of the money market is the one
contained in the statement that collec-
tons are reported very good. The large
crops and the great relief extended the
farmers in many parts of the country
raised the hopes of all classes of bust
ness men rather too high. The debts
and mortgages of the Northern farmers,
and the low price of cotton in the South
have served to prevent the farmers pur-
chasing as largely as was expected.
There was an improvement last
week in the dry goods trade, and
increased and fair activity in hard
ware, lumber and farm implements.
The boot and shoe and grocery
trades both report activity. The
fects all branches of business in the
South. Iron is selling at almost the
lowest prices on record, although the
demand is good. The immense output
of the past seven months is to blame for
this, for although the output of pig for
1891 was 100000 tons less than in 1890,
the amount turned out for the last six
months of 1891 was larger than in any
similar period.
The selling Of American securities
still seems to be going on in Europe In
the past three months no less than S131,-
100000 Of our commodities have been
sold abroad. for which but S26, 100000 Of
specie have been received. This must
cease in the nature of things very short
ly, and our gold must then come back
to US. During all this time money
has been piling up in the New York
banks. In case the foreigners go to
buying securities in the spring, money
will be veritabe drug on the market
in New York. In New York the past
week call money has been ruling at IL
per cent, 215 per cent tor thirty days
and per cent for sixty days. This
cheapnesS has started some speculation,
as we'll as great deal of investment in
securities that yield from to 6per cent.
The wheat market has been fluctuat-
ing in fractions. The prospects of the
foreign demand for the coming six
months inspire confidence. The corn
surplus is moving across the water at
the rate of about 100000 bushels per
month. The railroads are still showing
large earnings, and they will receive for
carrying the crop of 1891 nearly double
the amount they did for the crop of 1890.
The stock market was quite active dur
ing the past week, and many stocks
scored considerable gains

Why He Didn't Rise.

Detroit Free Press.
Detroit is lovely city, and everybody
knows it, The love of it is bred in the
bone, and never gets out of the flesh.
The other Sunday visiting clergyman
addressed the Sunday school of an up
town church. After a serious talk he
said to the children:
'All of you who desire to live in
better world than this please rise to
your feet"
All the children rose except one small
boy in the corner.
The good man looked at him in panied
surprise.
My child" he said, very gently and
kindly. why don't you rise with the
others?"
''Detroit's good enough for me. that's
why" sung out the youngster, and the
solemnity of tie occasin was knocked to
pieces.

Why Not Owen?

Crookston Times.
The Farmers Alliance had oppOr-

fair-thinking men who do not belong to
that organization, by electing man to
the presidency who is not only able, but
is highly respected wherever he is
known. We refer to S. NJ. Owen, who
was the farmers candidate for govern
or at the last election. Up to that time
he was but little known, but when the
canvass closed he had made a host of
friends, as was shown by the vote which
he received. Why he was not chosen
to preside over the deliberations of the
organization during the current year is

WHAT ST. PAUL CONTRIBUTES.

AT recent anti-lottery meeting in
Boston Gen. GEORGE d. JOHNSTON, of
New Orleans, was one of the speakers.
and in his address made the surprising
statement that Boston still contributes
to the Louisiana lottery $4,000 per
month. In view of the difficulties sup
posed to restrict the operation of the
lottery of late, these look like incredible
figures, but they are accepted by the
Boston papers as approximately correct.
There is no reason why Boston should
take more of the tickets in proportion
than st. Paul, Minneapolis or other
large cities. This would presume that
st. Paul sends about $4,000 to Louisi-
ana each month. Those familiar with
the situation know that there are great
number of regular patrons Of the draw
ings in this city, but the tickets are not
advertised, and the business is con-
Quoted with quietude and reserve.

A Burglars Invention.

Philadelphia Record.
The key-chain worn by many gentle
men is the invention of noted burglar
who spent many years of his life in a
dungeon cell for plying his vocation in
one stormy night trying to turn the lock
of Walnut street door. the false key
dropped in the snow, and, while search
ing for it, Waterman came along and
locked the burglar up and had him sent
to Moyamensing. Having some inge-
nuity. he thought of having keys fast
ened to a chain, so that when limb of
the law appeared he could fly without
a thought about the keys, and found it
worked like a charm. He has now seen
the error of his ways, and lives COM
fortably on royalty from the manu-
facturerS.
