A DemoreIizing Practice.

In commenting on the depraved taste
some people manifest in company for
stories that have as their only founda-
ton a vivid imagination and an utter
disregard for the truth, the New York
ing pointed truths:
For some reason that the average
individual is wholly unable to under
stand, there seems to be an overwhelm-
ing desire on the part of certain per-
sons to be known as story-tellers.
This is all very well in its way, but
when good storytelling simply means
capacity for relating the greatest false
hoods, it would seem to be the time to
call halt in such a business. That
decent man can take any pride in q
reputation for falsehood of any sort
seems almost past belief, but on no
other theory can the formation of An
anias clubs and like organizations be
accounted for. That there can be any
particular honor attached to exploits
of this kind is a.comment not in the
least complimentary to those who
kyearn for such distinction. In old
times men seemed to take pride in be-
ing known as supporters of the truth,
and we might be Led to wonder
what curious state of society it
is, and to what we are tending,
when Ananias clubs are formed in
various parts of the country. and
their doings and sayings are regarded
as items of interest. 1t is, to say the
least, questionable example to the
rising generation when grown-up men
men of intelligence and culture
stoop to such degrading amusement.
How a father can expect his son to be
truthful and honorable when he sits
night after night taxing his brains in
the endeavor to tell greater false
hood than his fellows, and when the
son reads in the papers of the follow
ing day the name of his father as the
champion liar of the club, it would
seem that the men could take very
little thought of the effect Of such per
/ formances on the rSinds of their fami
lies. man who will tell a falsehood
in one respect is reasonably likely to do
so in another, and clubmen of this
sort need not be surprised if some day
a Disguised community declines to take
their word on any subject whatever.

Ayel start and shudder, we'll thou nay'st,

Aye, shudder at that cry that speaks
the South's supreme despair

Thou that had'st might to aid the right

Tho ashes OF her sunny homes are slaked
in patriot tears
Tears for the slain who cied In vain

Tears. tears Of bitter erguish still for
those who live to yield.
The cannon Of his country pealed Stuart's
funeral kneil.
His soldiers cheers rang in his ears as
Stonewall Jackson fell.
Onward Ger gallant Ashbys grave swept
wars successful tide,
And Southern hopes were living yet
when Polk and Morgan died.
But he, the leader, on whose words those
captains loved to wait,
The noblest. bravest, best Of all, hath
found harder fate;
IInscathed by shot and steel he passed
Ger many n desperate field,
oh. Cod that ne hath lived so long. and
only lived to yield!
Along the war-worn. wasted ranks that
loved him 10 the last.
With saddened face and weary pace the
vanquished chieftain passed.
Their own hard lot the men forgot, they
felt what his must be.
What thoughts In that dark hour must
wiring the heart Of General Lee.
The manly check with tears was wet-the
stately head was how'd
Az. breaking from their shattered ranks,
around his steed they crowd:
'1 did my best for you"-'twas all those
trembling lips could say
All. happy those whom death hath spared
the anguish OF to-day.
Weep on. Virginia! weep these lives given
to thy cause in vain
The sons who live to wear once more the
Unions CALLING chain
The homes whose light Is quench'd FOR
aye-the graves without stone
The folded ftag-the broken sword-the
hope forever flown.
Yet raise thy head. fair land. thy dead
died bravely for the right
The folded flag IS stainless still-the
broken sword is bright
No blot is on thy record found-no treason
soils thy fame!
Weep thou thy dead-with cover'd head
we mourn our England's shame.

That was glorious tribute to a Chris

to pay honor to the memory Of Phillips

day OF Penteeost heard every man in
his own tongue as the Spirit gave them
utterance." ION the platform were as
sembled teachers and preachers OF every

and Protestant, Hebrew and Gentle
Presbyterian and Episcopalian. Baptist
and Methodist. High Church and Low
Church. orthodox and heterodox, hereto

got social distinction and differences of

to one whose glory was that he was
counted worthy to b . preacher Of the

LII before Congress to require all trains
Of cars crossing interstate lines to have

the bill becomes law II will 60 into ef-
feet January 1. 1893.
Besides requiring the cars to have au-
tomato couplcrs, which will obviatc the
necessity Of trainmen going between airs
to make UP trains, the bill requires sp-
planes on all trains that will enable the
engineer to control the whole train ef
fectiveiy by himself. and without the aid
Of assistants In the cars.
There IL an unmistakable suggestion IN
the bare statement Of this case of lob
bies for patents and Joint stock COM
panies interested In selling their devices
1t 10 obvious that these requirements
can be complied with by the railroads
only at an enormous expense. Conserva-
tive Judges estimate that they will cost
at least 800. 000 900. This money must
come out of come one. Who is 1t to come
out Of? II the railroads pay II In the
nret instance tney must recoup thcin-
selves somewhere. II will be. then, either
out Of the trainmen who are supposed
to be the parties to be benefited by the
law or out OF the travelling and freight
sending public.
But the substantial and true obJec-
ton to this proposed act and to all others
Of its class is that It is a form Of pater-
nal government, all manifestations OF
which should be spurned as soon as
shown. The railroads, in this. as in all
other such matters. should be left to
develop their business In this matter as
in other matters by the exigencies of
cases under the correction Of the courts.
Where trainmen are injured through the
Negligence Of the railroads. the jurics are
prompt to award full damages for the in
turieA and the size OF these drive the
railroads as rapidly as the law allows to

mands upon the roads.
This is a bill which is a rart OF the

There Is no danger, then OF seeing the

But then, why hold the issue OF notes

bank free TO adjust at its own will the
proportion OF its metallic reserve to the
circulation? This freedom would not pre-
sent any inconvenience; II would have
the Advantage Of shielding commerce from

would prevent exposing the destinies OF
the bank too often to the chances OF

1t will be remembered that these stock

important part has been actually done.
