The Wrong Password.

Last Saturday night party Of
young men of Athena concluded to
visit the Adams lodge of Sons Of
Temperance. When they reached
Adams they went up to hall
where they supposed the Sons Of
Temperance were convened. At
the outer door they were met by a
guard to whom they gave the ex-
pIanation of the password Of the
Sons Of Temperance. He clothed
them with regalia, the splendor of
which surprised them, and then
passed them in. They were again
surprised at not seeing any ladies
present; but as lodge had not yet
taken up they supposed they would
soon come in. But other surprises
were in store for them. Soon the
lodge was called to order and an
officer came around to take up the
password, and when one of our
young men gave him the password
of the Sons of Temperance, he
turned and said: "Noble Grand,
here is brother without the pass
word.p It then for the first time
dawned on them that this was not
their lodge, but the Odd Fellows
hall that they had invaded.
1t is needless to say that they
lost no time in getting out, and are
now wondering what the Sons Of
Temperance will do with them for
| giving away the password.

THE POOR IN THE EAST.

When an oriental priest arose in the
Chicago parliament of religions and
stated that the golden rule was more
closely followed by his own people
than by the people of this country, he
caused no little establishment. That he
may be nearer the truth than we are
willing to admit, however, is strongly
confirmed by what we find in current
literature In recent number of The
Fortnightly Review is an article by an
English Christian minister, on the
poor of India, Japan and the United
States. "In india" says the traveller,
''we hat been depressed by the hope
lessness, in China by the ugliness and
in America we were to be depressed by
the wickedness which accompanies
poverty; in Japan we found the poor
touched by friendship into hope, and
real sharers in the national life" Con
corning the comparatively happy con-
dition of the poor in Japan, he says:
'What is the reason that Japan has
no poverty problem? One reason is
probably to be found in the land sys-
tenn, which has given to every worker a
holding and encouraged him to supply
his wants by his own labor Effort
has thus been developed and wants are
limited. Another reason lies in the ma
tional taste for country beauty. No
where else are parties formed to visit
the blossom-trees, and nowhere else
are pilgrimages simply for the sake of
natural beauty. A country life has,
therefore, it's own interest, and men do
not crowd the cities for the sake of
excitement. There is, too, in Japan a
curious absence of ostentatious luxury
The habits of living are in all classes
very much the same, and the rich do
not outshine the poor by carriages,
palaces and jewelry The rich spend
their money on curios, which, if cost
ly, are limited; and the most popular
agitation is that against the big Euro
pean houses which ministers build for
themselves. Wealth is thus not alb
sorbed, and is more ready for invest
ment in renumerative labor The last
reason which occurs to the mind Of a
traveller with comparatively few oppor-
tunities for forming opinions. is the
equality OF manners in all classes
Rich and poor are alike courteous. tt
is not possible TO distinguish employer
from laborer by their behavior; all are
clean; all are easy; all are restrained.
The governor lets his child 60 to the
common school and sit next to the
child of the casual Iaborer, certain that
his child will pick up no bad manners
and get no contamination in thought
OF in person. This equality enables
fich and poor to meet as frien Is, anl
lifts can pass without degra lation
The rich mobiles in the country, just as
he university men whom we met in
rokio, are thus able to give to those
whom they know to be i'll need, and
friendship becomes the channel of
charity. The question is, will this sur
vive the introduction of the industrial
system? It is possible that some may,
and that Japan may teach the west
how to deal with the poor"
The lesson taught by the example of
a people who have no poverty problem
is the lesson of obedience to the golden
rule.

THE SITUATION IN KANSAS.


The fact that Kansas is under Popu-
list control makes the political affairs
in the sunfower state a matter of in
terest to the people interested in re-
form work all over the country.
The Peoples party in Kansas was
never stronger than at this moment,
and this will be demonstrated at the
county elections in November. The
reform press of the state was never so
strong as it is today, and there never
was greater activity among the workers
than at the present time.
The Republicans are making a great
deal of noise in their newspapers, but
it is simply game of bluff That party
is not only disintegrating by numerous
desertions, but it is torn by dissensi-
ons and fractional quarrels, and hope
lessly divided on the silver question
prohibition and female suffrage The
chickering's and strife among the politi-
Glars and the attitude of the party
leaders throughout the country on the
silver question all combine to disgust
many of the common herd and they
are going into the Peoples party.
The Kansas Democrats having at
tended the Populist school and i'm
bibed the principles of reform, to
large extent are also going into the
Peoples party.
The friends of reform outside of
Kansas may rest assured that Kansas
will take no step backward.

4 ReheI1inn Incident

The rebel ironclad was in complete

sengers sent in search of Commodore
Smith found that officer on his way to
church, and he knew that the commo-
dore'S only son was first lieutenant of
the Inflated Congress.
''Commodore," said the man, sthere
is bad news from Hampton roads. The
Merrimac has come down from Norfolk
and the Minnesota and Roanoke are
disabled, the Cumberland sunk, and
the Congress is on fire and has sur

Surrendered? The Congress has

.CAN,T 60 Ir.e

President Cleveland astonished some
of the members of his cabinet few
days ago by saying that he wished he
had the power possessed by the queen
of England to prorouge parliament.
If the president had that power, he
would now dismiss congress from its
sitting and send it back to the country
for reelection, the silver repeal bill
being the issue upon which men would
be compelled to make their stand be-
fore the electors. OF course the presi-
dent has no such power, and in this in
lance it would be of little advantage to
dismiss congress, for the reason that it
is in the senate, which corresponds to
the house of lords, that the presidents
policy is met with opposition and de-
termined obstruction.
Yet it might not be a bad thing if
our president had the power to send
not only the members of the house,
but members of the senate, back to the
people for their Endorsement or rejec-
ton whenever a climax is reached in
matters of important legislation. By
the English system it is always possible
for the crown to secure at any time an
expression of public opinion directly
upon any pending measure. In this
country a Legislative question which
becomes the bone of bitter contention
at certain session of congress may
have almost disappeared from the pub
lie mind by the time the public cleo
tions are reached.
