LIVING TOGETHER.

When man and woman get married
we wonder how many couples of them
fully comprehend what is implied by
the term ''living to- ether" Living to-
gether dispels great many pleasant
illusions. The hard rubs of everyday
life rasp close to the nerves, and every
day facts walk rough shod over delicate
sensibilities; and people who have
prided themselves Oh their good tenn
pers all their lives grow cross ard ner-
yous, and easily irritated, and the
loving souls who had but "a single
thought" and one heart to do the
pumping for both bodies, quarrel with
each other, and call each other hard
names, and wish they had never met,
etc, etc. No two people are exactly
alike. One reads novels, another shuns
them. One likes TO hear Elder B. ex-
pound, and another prefers the Rev.
Mr.. c. One believes in dancing, an
other thinks it is inspired by the evil
one. All these likes and dislikes come
up in the process OF living together
all these and about a million more
and they are talked over and comment
ed upon, and made the subject of criti-
cism, and oftentimes become the source
of disagreements. When a couple have
learned 10 agree to disagree they have
mastered one of the most difficult OBJ
stacles to living together Life is too
short to be disturbed by eternal bicker-
ings. If some persons do not think as
we do they are welcome to their opinions
They have perfect right to them. 1t
doesn't take our appetite away or rufile
our composure in the least We shall
live just as long and die just as happy as
though all creation thought just as we
do. Living together brings many trials,
we are ready to admit, but it also brings
blessings. When wife feels disposed
to grumble at her husband for the hum
dred and one sins which, have
been committing ever since the creation
let her remember the benefits and
kindnesses he confers upon her, and
see if the accounts will not balance.
When husband feels inclined to blame
his wife for things which the best of
women must do, because they were
created SO, let him remember the good
deeds of her life, and try and see if he
cannot refrain from holding up his
mother, or Sam Jones' wife, as a model
woman. To bear with each other, to
hope for the best, to do as we would
like to be done by, and trust in God for
the result, constitutes the true secret of
peaceably living together.

Lynch Law.

What shall we say for the Christianity,
for the civilization, for the humanity of
the nineteenth century when the daily
papers reek with the horrors of lynch
ing and burning at the stake and these
unparalleled crimes are witnessed with
iendish glee and read of with avidity.
We can no longer say it is southern
outrage" These things are perpetrated
in the north, in the east and the west.
A horror of great blaclsness is settling
over the nation when it becomes posi-
BILE for these things to pass by unheeded.
The lessons of revolving cruelty, Of
inhuman violence and revengeful
hatred taught by lynchings foster and
engender the demoniacal spirit of evil
that renders justice a murderous tool Of
hate.
There are crimes that call for swift
and sure punishment. Crimes that
justify the death penalty, but there is
nothing possible that justifies men in
such fiendish exhibitions Of cruelty in
executing vengence as has been common
of late. Men forget the crime, and
commit others as great under the passion
of lawless hate, and it is becoming
painfully evident that some of the
vilest of the recent lynchings were done
through race hatred, rather than as
punishment for crime, as in more than
one instance the mob had a reasonable
doubt of the guilt of their victim. Let
these things continue without protest
and we shall soon reap a harvest of
most horrible crimes. No man will be
safe. The lust of blood, and the demon
of revenge will override justice and
humanity and a reign Of terror be
linaugurated. Anarchy brings red ruin,
mob violence licenses murder, and race
hatred with It's attendant train of evils
wields two edged sword that brings
| tardy retribution.
| 1t is high time that law abiding citizens
became active and combine forces to
put down the infamous cruelties prac-
ticed in burning at the stake" flashing
! until the flesh drops apart, slow torture,
etc. Only few days since a sixteen
year old boy was flayed nearly to death
and when one man got tired swinging
the harness trace another took his place,
then he was hanged. After all that the
| dead body was mutilated further by
bullets. A few hours later the mob
repeated the scene with another victim
| who was doubtless innocent of the crime
charged. A scene of horror, where a
| wretch was nailed up in turpentine
barrel and the barrel fired, haunts our
mind with dreams of the Inferno.
Are they men and human that do these
things, and III the name of justice?
| What shall be done to "seal on the
nations soul the sacredness of life?'

Congress Extraordinary.

What will it do about Tariff is uues-
ton that is often asked these davs.
The silver question will doubtless be
the first question taken up as the whole
commercial world is waiting for def
mite settlement of it but not "silvern
alone will bring the confidence needed.
The political party now in power came
III on platform announcing that the
existing system of tariff should be
modified to the extent of a tariff for
revenue only. The enormous de-
preston in manufacturing interests i'm
med1ately followed, and we are assured
by the manufacturers all over the coun-
try that their failures are due to the
economic changes brought about by the
introduction Of such a system. In re-
cent talk President Benjamen Harrison
said:
IF the Chicago enunciation of princi-
pies is to be maintained, business must
prepare for a change According to its
principles the government is pledged to
reduce the tariff to the standard of the
Chicago convention The business Of
the country cannot prosper under these
circumstances. Distrust is widespread.
everything languishes. The heterogene-
Gus political elements that will meet in
Washington will represent free trade
and many theories contrary to business
stability. The conservative people of
the country stand aghast at the possibili-
ties OF legislation and are trimming sails
to suit the weather. The outlook is
dark, but it is difficult to see how relief
is to come. The distrust might be dis
PEELED perhaps, but how? In one sense
the situation is theatrical, excitement
may be calmed by stroke of inspira-
ton. A panic is sometimes averted by
a band striking up a popular air, just as
the frightened crowd is about to rush
and trample over one another.
"HoW can the present somewhat anal
ogous condition be changed by sudden
ly inspired confidence? The leaders of
party in power will scarcely acknow-
ledge that its principles are mistaken
ones, that the Chicago platform was
false and should be repudiated. l can
see no Moses at present who will lead
the business world out of it's Egyptian
darkness"

A Bestial Assault.

A boy of seventeen having black blood
in his veins assaulted the little daughter
of his employer last Friday at the home
OF the latter near Msrshfeld. He was
caught in the woods where he fled for
safety, and after well merited ffogging
set at liberty. 1t is questionable whether
the punishment will serve the ends of
justice. Brutal, ignorant, and of an age
and blood that needs restraint, a fog
ging means only temporary, painful
punishment. A restraint in prison or
reformatory would be more humane,
and while protecting society would also
protect the human being from his own
bestial nature and possibly awake some
latent manhood.

WATERING HORSES.

A Humane" writer voices the needs
of the horse during the hot dusty days
of summer. He emphasizes the need
of "horses having water several times
during the day besides at meal time" "
Even as a laboring man grows thirsty
when toiling in the hot sun so will a
horse, and it is cruel to ignore their
needs. Sponge their neck and limbs
off with water, not cold or fresh from
the well, after their days work is done,
and they are in condition for it and
they will repay the care in better SER
vice next day. A manly man will be
kind to his horse. A man who will
cruelty treat horse will betray his
best friend.

Work or Beg Which?

One loses much of their sympathy
for the penniless hordes of miners from
Colorado who are accepting charity
from railroad companies and benevo-
lent societies, when we read that in
Denver, where they count up by hun
dreds, an advertisement for laborers to
work for the city received only fifteen
applicants. Less gush and cant and
more common sense backed by willing
ness to work would help solve the
problem of how to live.

A New Postal Script.

The postal script will soon take the
place of the postal note now in use.
The postal note costs three cents, and
carries any amount up to S., while in
the script sheet calling for amounts
from one cent to S. is prepared from
which, on payment of one cent, the
amount of money to be sent by mail to
any part of the United States may be
torn Off the same as an express order.
There will be no writing on it by the
postmaster, the sender endorsing the
check draft. The government guar
antees its safe transportation.

Balance of Trade.

The following figures are mighty
interesting. They show our balance of
trade during the fouryears ending June
80, and it will be noted that we had an
excess of exports over imports during
each of the years 1890, 1891, 1892, but
that for the current year our imports
exceed very largely our exports. The
balance of trade was in our favor up to
June 80, 1892, when Mr.. Harrison was
President. 1t was against us on June
80, 1898, when Mr.. Cleveland was
President. The figures are as follows:
