WHO ARE CORRUPTIBLEs

An anonymous writer in the March
Forum asks who are the politically cor
rupible? He proceeds at length to
answer his own question. Those most
easily accessible to corrupt influences. he
declares that agents invariably place
leaders of workingmen's or farmers
political movements first. This will pro-
woke much discussion as to whether the
charge is true. 1t is averred, however.
that it is sustained by the testimony of
the men who most engage in the use of
corruption means. In any case, it is well
that the charge should be thoroughly
ventilated. The writer then proceeds to
the succeeding classes as follows:
In estimating an elected body. the members
elected on such tickets are placed on the di-
recJly purchasable list without much in
quiry. Next come the editors of country
newspapers and nevspaners in small cities;
then country lawyers and that class of city

much difference with politicians aIthoutrI IL

them to insist on indirect methods of an

Here is food for howIs all down the
line, and that there will be plenty of

REV. DIR. FIELD, now in Africa, writes
to his paper, the EUangeLiSt:
Good morning! 1 am reveIing in the
glorious sunshine of Africa Tell my brethren
in America that if they could ride over these
nils and look OF on the Mediterranean and
the Atlantic they would get larger views of
ence of continent that is waiting to be re-
deemed
Very good, doctor; if you are right it
would be home missionary work to ship
few steamer loads of our clergy across
the briny deep. But is there not at home
quite as grand opportunity to take broad
views of human duty? Shall not the need
of few millions in America to be lifted
up out of environments that make them
bondsnen to vice and misery, quite as
much inspire the clergy and lalty as the
condition Of the heather, whose ignorance
may suggest innocence? Not that the
"unredeemed continent should be
neglected while there be those who be-
lieve duty calls them there; but why
should savage tribes in the Dark Cont
nent moro inspire men to breadth of
views regarding duty to the race of men,
than the needs of those who ought to lie
closer to our sympathies?

Yomen of rhoir Period.

In the great momentum Of the women
movement, which gains new victims
every day, one is inclined to overlook
the fact that woman was power moral
ly, socially and Intellectually IN the ff-
teenth century as well as the nineteenth,
that the doors of the universities were
open to her not only to study but to
teach within their sacred precincts. In
the University of Salamanca she had a
place, and when Isabella of Spain de-
sired to acquire the Latin tongue it was
to a woman that she turned for tutor.

Grade crossings ON street railways are
as dangerous as on trunk lines and
should be just as carefully protected. II
a railroad company should cross the
tracks Of another. leaving the chances Of
collision to be avoided solely by the
watchfulRess OF the engineer, there would
be a great hue and cry. Yet similar
carelessness is passed over in the case Of
street railways. though the danger is
even greater on account Of the increased
frequency with which the tracks ars

The formation of train and hotel par

Chicago is going ON in various quarters
in this city. Social clubs have canvassed
the matter and made up their pro-
grammes for the trip. Young clerks EN-
ployed in the different branches Of trade
are getting together in order that they
may visit the fair collectively and az the
least possible expense. Three or four
temporary clubs for this purpose have
been formed by employees Of the large
