Bigotry has many disguises, but the
one most used Is extra devotedness to
truth. Extra is the word.
Happy is the man who can look in
TO the face and life of his wife and
know that holiness is reality.
One drop of genuine love is worth
more to q sincere soul than all the
hollow batteries of all the world.
TO seek responsibility is danger
Gus business to shirk one Is none the
less so.
Advice to students, young men, and
others: Do not be lazy; do not gel in
to a hurry.
He who planted the germs of Pity
in the human heart must have meant
to leave the root of Sorrow in human
life.
We are doing a great toward max
ing ourselves look old and ugly when
wei give way to worry and fretful'
ness.
Reciprocity is law of life. We get
much good from our fellow creatures,
and we must give all we can.
The man who is too religious to be
interested in his daily duties is quite
too religious for this world.
To aid in circulating an evil rumor
which you do not know to be true is
consummate baseness.
Many man goes with his head up
and sunshine in his eyes when his
heart is breaking.
A home in which forbearance, gen.
tleness, love, and other high senti-
ments do not exercise controlling
force is simply human pigsty.
Cheerfulness or joyousness is thu
heaven under which every thing no
poisonous is sure to thrive.
A clock that won't run is like a
Church member who never tells any,
body by his life that he is religious.

The South Carolina Experiment

Philadelphia Times.
South Carolina has undertaken to regulate
the drinking traffic by going into the business
and keeping everybody else out of it. The
element of novelty in the experiment is that
South Carolina is the first American State to
import what in Europe is known as the Goth
enburg plan.
The idea upon which this plan is based is
that drunkenness is unnecessarily increased
by the desire for large profits on the part of
those engaged in selling intoxicating drinks
In other words, private liquor dealers, whether
licensed or otherwise, drum for trade and
offer inducements to men TO drink. Under
the State plan this motive is removed, and
while alcoholic stimulants are placed within
the reach of all who are not minors, no one has
a money interest in inducing others to drink
The South Carolina experiment will be
watched with good deal of interest. There
are some absurd provisions in the statute, how
ever, such as allowing only one dispenser of
drink to county, which are likely to defeat
its purpose

Assistant Pnstmaste

Assistant Postmaster General
Maxwell has been criticized by Re
publican journals for the rapidity and
effectiveness with which he has
whacked off the fourth-class postmas-
tiers, but as a matter of fact his record
for the first month of the new admin
istration is far behind that of his
predecessor, General Clarkson. The
latter from March to April 3, 1899,
made ], 328appointments, of which 1926
were removals of Democratic post
masters, while Gen. Maxwell, during a
corresponding period this year, has
made S78 appointments, of which
only $40 were removals. Under the
rule of the department that fourth
class postmasters, unless removed for
cause, will be allowed to serve four
years, the energetic efforts of Clarkson
to remove Democrats, four years ago,
has created large number of Repub-
lican postmasters who will have to
give place to Democrats, just as the
latter, four years ago, had to make
way for Republicans.

THE NEW COMuISSIONER OF PEN
SIONS.

President Cleveland has appointed
as Commissioner OF Pensions Judge
William Lochren, of Minnesota. This
appointment is regarded as one of the
best that could have been made, and
is especially popular in the Northwest.
Besides having an enviable reputation
as a jurist Judge Lochren has bril-
liant record as brave and gallant
soldier. In1S72, although Democrat,
he was appointed by a Republican
Governor to the iudgeship and after
wards twice reelected without opposi-
ton. He has never sought office, and
his popularity is best attested by the
fact that, although he is a Democrat,
his candidacy ;or the place to which
he is nominated was endorsed by the
unanimous vote of the Republican
Legislature of Minnesota.
Under his judicious management
the people of the United States have
a right to expect to see an end to the
profiigacy and waste in the Pension
Bureau. The pension laws need a
thorough overhauling and we have
no doubt this is one of the tasks to
which Judge Lochren will apply him.
self. At the same time no deserving
pensioner need have the slightest fear
that his annual stipend will be taken
away. The only persons who will
suffer will be those who have no legal
or moral claims to the bounty of the
government The revision of the pen
sion laws which Judge Lochran will
recommend to Congress will no doubt
be such as will be approved by the
country.
The loose management of Corporal
Tanner and Green B. Raum is respon-
sible for the immense sum of nearly
5000, 900, 900 now required for the pen
sion list. The Democratic party is
pledged to reform and retrenchment
in government expenditures, and to
accomplish any real good to the people
the reform must include the pension
as we'll as the tariff laws.

ARBOR DAY.

The country at large owes a debt of
gratitude to Hon. ]. Sterling Morton,
Secretary of Agriculture and inaugu-
rator of Arbor Day-a sense of which
will increase with advancing time
Some one cynically asks, what has
posterity done for us ~ But whatever
may be urged against the delin-
quencies of posterity our obligations
to our progenitors are patent to all be-
holders-obligations which we can
only liquidate by making similar pro-
vision for those who are to come after
us.
A few years since series of articles
appeared in an English publication
entitled ''Trees and Their Uses" set
ting forth vast number of offices
which they perform unsupported by a
large majority of it's readers. Ind eed,
scientific research daily reveals new
and important parts which trees play
in the economy of nature The in
creasing frequency of destructive
floods, as is well established, is due to
the burning droughts, now of almost
yearly occurrence.
The effect of this thinning process
in diminishing the number of birds,
leaving the crops a prey to destruc-
tive insects which would otherwise
serve as their food, opens up whole
train of evil consequences which must
result should no system of reparation
counterbalance the many demands
yearly made upon our forests.
The ornamental feature of trees
forces itself upon the realization of
the most obtuse. 1t was observed
that q farmer living in one of our
mountain districts had felled hand
some oak growing in front of his cab
in. When asked why he thus de
stroyed a thing so beautiful and use
full he said 'It was so nice and cool
under that tree that l was tempted to
sit there too long when came in to
dinner" Few of our lives need be so
arid, so barren of comfort as this
There are pauses in the work of the
busiest of US and intervals of leisure
when we may enjoy 1.-The fruit of our
labor and rest beneath the trees of
our planting are not only agreeable
but are necessary to our well-beine
and to our continued usefulness.
The duties of Arbor Day seem in
our own State to devolve by common
consent upon the young, the day
being formally observed only by our
public schools, and the advantages OF
such an arrangement are obvious. 1t
inculcates in the children love for
the beautiful and instils in them the
necessity of proper care for the flu
ture.
Governor Brown has designated to-
day, April 18th, for the observance OF
this day in Maryland. twill be duly

The appointment of Hon. William Massey, of

rendered by Mr.. Massey to the Democratic
party, during which time he has never held OF

he having been chosen to the Maryland I,egis-

ship he will be strongly backed by many

his own county. So far Mr.. Massey and Col

The Philadelphia Times objects
strongly to bill before the Pennsyl-
vania Legislature authorizing the
erection and maintenance of eel weirs
fish baskets in the Susquehanna river.
Shad, bass, pike, perch and other fish
will be trapped and slaughtered by
the thousands and the river de-
populated of edible fish, the Times
thinks, if these traps are permitted
to be erected. The fishermen of Mary
land have an interest in this proposed
law, for the destruction of the fish
named in the upper waters of the Sus-
quehanna river must cause their de-
crease below
