MORE TRUTH, LESS ExrRAvAGANCE.

MORE TRUTH, LESS EXTRAVAGANCE.
Some expert in casuistry should ex-
plain why it is that politics has come to
be considered exempt from the penalties
and the rewards of the moral code.
There appears to be no reason why a
lie should be Modified in offense simply
tecause it is a political lie. But it is a
certainty that a great many people re-
gard 1t in just that way. There appears
to be some considerable feeling which
enables men to do things IN politics
without condemnation which would
bring trouble down on his head if per-
petrated in any other atmosphere. The
people are willing to forgive the re-
creant congressman if he lies out of his
mistakes and perfdy and lies out of it
neatly, entirely too often.
The demagogue consequently feels no
embarrassment in coming out boldly
and declaring everything. disdaining to
believe that there is penalty for falsity,
and assured that if he is proved the scoun-
drel, the fact that it is all in politics,
will rescue him.
The case Of Breckenridge is a case in
point. Think of Breckenridge after all
that has been proved against him COM
ing out and upbraiding another man for
his dishonor. Yet he accused Owens of
dishonor. The conditions are such that
he can afford 10 make such a statement
and strange to say the conditions are
such that lie planned and felt confident
OF gaining by such effrontery.
1t is all in politics. John J. ingalls,
brought down storm OF Indignation on
his head some time ago by declaring
that the publication of politics is an
irideScent dream. Disagreeable as his
episramaric declaration was, il was ac-
cepted Is the truth by observing people.
Radical and thorough publication is inn
possible, but certain meausre of purity
can and Will be established. Some day
the people OF this country viii rise IL
their might and demand that tine poll
tician shall tell the truth or 60 down IL
Gefsat: that he shall exercise the same
respect for truth and morality IS the
minister: and thai he shall relinqulsf
the practice of saving everything *
wishes without regard TO Its origin CT
foundation.
There is bound 70 be a reaction IN our
national life in this very matter. Through
what agency it will be accomplished IS
not now plain, but that II VIII be accom-
plished thege Is TO the thinking mind
little doubt.

ON THE BRIDGE.
Sown thick with stars the purpl, vaulted

Silence within the wood. The moon frail
thing,
Like the half of broken wedding ring,
Swings in the west.
Beneath the bridges pillars sullenly
Swift swept the great brown flood,-and
Two shadows leaning on the rail.
From dim mysterious waterways, the
sounds
Like laughter gurgling in a baby's throat,
Like little sobs that die in a caress,
Made burden for the music of the night.
The night; the time of calm infiuite.
1uterminable, solemn, mystical
Speaking unto emotions hid the day;
Speaking the unspoken speech of souls.

RESULT IN KENTUCKY,

The result of the primary election in
Kentucky yesterday cannot but be
gratifying TO every true American.
For the reputation of the Ashland dis
as an American community. it was
hoped that Breckenridge would be left at
home now and for good. He had vio-
lated all that makes life pure and
worthy and in the face of his proved
guilt assumed the effrontery to defy the
better sense of public opinion and ride
rough shod over all the finer qualities of
mankind.
After the mask of hypocrisy had been
torn from his face and to his wife and
friends and TO the world he had been
shown to be the rascal that he was he
boldly disregarded shame and disgrace
and swung into the fight, meeting every
criticism without fiinching and counter
ing his own infamy with charges against
the morality and conduct of his oppon-
ents. During all this thorough cam
paign he practically put up but one
plea. At first he did sag that he
II
be forgiven. But that was only at first,
and was a radical step made, for the
purpose of breaking the ice. After this
declaration of contrition had been an
nounced two or three times, he dropped
it. His real plea and argument was
that no matter how corrupt or immoral
a man might be, if he was brilliant, that
was sufficient 10 assure his promotion.
and to merit reward in politics. Breck-
inudge and bis friends argued that no
other man could be sent from the Ash
land district who could so ably represent
that constituency as Breckenridge could.
His acquaintance was extended, his tai
ent was recognized and he had long
been in the position and was drilled
thoroughly in the duties of the office.
His morality and personal conduct. j.
was insisted, had nothing to do with the
case.
This was the prevailing argument of
the Breckenridge men. They did not
agree ard would not see that a man
who is dishonest to his marriage vows
and who Is degraded and dishonorable
in morals can not be honest in any trans
action whatsoever. They did not recog-
nize that when a mans conscience is so
calloused that shame and disgrace does
not touch it, that man is capable of anv
evil thought and action possible with
man.
But whatever was thought in the Ash
land district the great people all over
| the Union Were Interested in seeing
| Breckinridge shelved. Since the day he
/ left the court covered with shame the
American people have been watching his
career with intense interest. They re-
/ garded his audacity with disgust They
| have paved that it would be pun
iShed. The result of the cam
paisn meant much. All pubic men are
| TO certain extent models TO their couu-
,rymen. The action OF public men and

comedies for years. We have read
nothing but the highest of books for
years. we have accepted shrewdness for
worth, and cunning for ability. Lately
the American people have been induig-
ing their tastes in this line by cheering
on Coxey and a lot more comical cranks.
The American people will get tired of
this some day. They will come back to
an admiration for vigorous writing and
stern acting and solemn thinking and
truth, and the sternest truth, In every
thing. No one man can hasten the day.
But it Will come.

as all the truths of history, that morality
is more closely linked with the life of
government than tariffs, finances and
legislative, judicial or executive acts.
Moral turpitude has preceded every ma
tions downfall. There has been within
the last five years claim that the NOR
atty of this country was on the wane.
The American people consequently look
ed to Kentucky for an Indication Of that
condition.
