If country papers would cease bor-
rowing the thought of the large city pa
pers, there would be much more intelll-
gent discussion Of public matters. Be
cause few of the large city democratic
dail1es choose to carp at the Wilson bill
is no reason why the democratic country
press ebould join in the chase. The Will
son bill is not tarlff for revenue meas
ure only, az was called for by the plat
form of the democratic national conven-
ton in 1892; but 1t is a step in that di-
rection. People cannot expect that a
wrong which has been growing for years
can be corrected at once. To attempt
too much would be to lose all. The ooun-
try press stands close to the people and
if 1t deals honestly and intelligently with
public subjects 1t will win their respect
and confidence. We should not be copy
lists.

peculiar case has come to light in
New York which shows the hollowness
of fashionable religion. An Episcopalian
church choir had among it's members
man named Mason who represented him
self as real estate agent. He was hand
some, educated and a fine singer. But
the horrible discovery was made that he
was coachmaD. The blue blood choir
at once insisted upon the dismissal of
Mason and he was dismissed. An INQUIRY
as to his antecedents shows that he comes
from good family, received an excellent
education, but his fathers estate was en-
tailed and he found it necessary to make
his own living. He came to the United
States but could not secure a suitable
position and as last resort took that of
ooachman.
OF course Mason's mental employment
will prevent his having place in the new
Jerusalem. The snobs who were out
ragged by his presence in their choir would
not have their angel wings t1utter IN the
same breeze that felt the beat of his pin
ions, nor would their harp strings qulver
within sound Of his. 1t was a mistake
that Jesus should have been born in a
manger. There is something so offensive
to modern ideas of propriety IN such
birthplace that sacred history should be
revised with view to presenting thInps
on the high toned plane proper to the ad-
vanced sentiment of the age. To think
of the founder of Christian lty being born
IN mangerl Beastly

IHE Milwaukee papers are congratu-
latlng that city on the success Of the
charity ball which was eminently SO in a
social sense, and moderately so financial
ly. 1t ID hardly a subj ect for congratu-
latlon. There is something which lars
upon the senslbilities in utilizing distress
as an avenue to enjoyment. II is not a
good lesson to teach, that restitution NAV
be made the proper occasion for display
of fnery and a brilliant social event.
The charitable purpose becomes wholly
suoordlnated to sensuous pleasure an d
Is soon wholly obliterated, leaving char
lty as mask under which selfish pleas
ure may be sought and bear the stamp OF
good.
1t is argued that through the charity
ball, contributions would be received
from those who would not contribute
directly for the relief Of the needy. But
Is 1t proper to degrade charity by a sugar
coating IN order to obtain few cents at
the expense OF so many dollars? Why
not seek to elevate the generosity
toward self to higher plane, rather
than bring genuine sympathy for the dis.
tressed down to the level of those whose
giving is merely an incident Of their own
enjoyment? There is something repel-
lent IN the combination of charity and
ball; charity is always driven of and the
ball remains. The immediate relief se-
cured by lavish outlay, wholly dispro-
poruoned to the fund made effective for
good, is apt to blind rs to the evil ten.
dency of this path marked out for char.
liy. 1t is leading charity astray and de-
stroying it.

ONE OF tie outcomes CT placing iron
ore on the free list which is expected. is
a reduction in the royalty now asked by
fee owners. Parties owning the land in
which mines are located usually receive
certain amount per ton Of ore mined.
The royalty heretofore exacted has been
quite large and tie owners IN fee have
grown wealthy. As there is 70 foreign
competition they were rot pressed for
reduction. Now that change is prob
able they are showing disposition to be
less extortionate. McKinnon Bros. of
the Sheridan mine have already reduced
the royalty from so cents to 20 cents per
ton. The G. & \. w. Ry, Co. has like
wise reduced its rates en- iron ore. With
these reductions labor Is safe.
