BURN THOSE LETTERS.

From the Washington Post.
There ought to be a law making it
a capital crime to keep any letter
more than six months. More than
half the trouble in this world-the
sort of trouble, l mean, that breaks
peoples hearts, and is occasionally
aired in the divorce courts, is caused
by letters foolishly preserved. OF
course, sensible people never write
letters that all the world might not
read. But all sensible people are
dead, for / venture to say there is
not one of us who has not at some
period of his life poured forth his
soul in letter he'd give his ears
never to have written. II you are a
man it doesn't so much matter, for
even IL your letter to your old
sweetheart does fall into the hands
OF her present husband it isn't at all
likely he'll read them-men haven't
enough curiosity in the matter.
Honorable scruples? Not a bit of it
simply lack of curiosity. But If you
are a woman, doesn't it make you
writhe in spirit to think of those let
ters you wrote Jack, or viii, or
George when you were sure he was
the only man in the world3 or course
the girl he married has read them
trust woman for that-and she has
made fun of your souls outpourings,
and-well it's enough to turn one's
hair white to think of it. Love let
ters ought to he written in ink that
would fade in fortnight, but SO
long as they are not, people who
keep them ought to be put into soli
tary confinement for all the rest of
| their lives.

McCOOK AND THE SCOUT.

From Harper's Weekly.
Several months ago General Me-
Cook paid visit to Santa Fe with
some railway officers. On arriving
at Santa Fe his first inquiry was for
one Lucian Stewart. He was told
that Stewart was in the hospital,
awaiting death from old age.
"Then he may die to might, and l
will see him irst," the general
quietly remarked. And then, with
his aide, he went directly to the
hospital, and was quickly by the cot
of the old man.
"Stewart, don't you know me2"
he inquired in tender way, at the
same time extending his hand.
Stewart did not reply for fslly one
minute, all the time holding the
generals hand and scanning his
features. At last ray of light broke
over his countenance, and with q
smile he said: eyes, l remember
you. You are the young lieutenant
who never en- oked before breakfast"
, Here the two broke into laugh,
the heartiest laugh perhaps the old
invalid had enjoyed for decade.
Stewart had been the chief of scouts
when, forty years ago, McCook was
fighting Apaches on the frontier. The
general had not seen him since that
war, but showed his deep regard for
his old friends by remembering SO
humble a comrade. The remark Of
the old scout referred to time when
McCook, then a lieutenant, and a
detail under Colonel st. Vrain were
chasing the Apacbea. They had
struck a hot trail, End had been on
1t thirty six hours without food.
Fearing to wait to prepare a meal,
for every minute was then precious,
so close was the trail, Colonel st..
vrain determined to keep on the
march. Realizing the condition of
his men and officers, he had given
permission for the men to partake of
such rations as they could in the
saddle, and turning to his lieutenant,
he remarked:
"McCook, have a cigar?"
"No, THANK you, sir" was the
quick response. "I never smoke
before breakfast"
General McCook has been in COM
mand Of the department for Colorado
for twelve months past. The new
orders do not change his station.

,NsumprroN COMMUNICABLE.

CONSUMPTION COMMUNICABLE.
The state board of health of Mis-
souri,, at its November meeting,
adopted the following resolution,
which explains itself. The board
means to institute a vigorous cain :
paign of education on the subject of
consumption, and hopes to enlist the
cooperation of the medical profes-
sion and the support of the public in
its efforts to limit this fatal disease F.;
Whereas, 1t Is firmly established
that tuberculosis Commonly called
consumption) is a disease commune
cable between human beings, and
from animals to men and vice versa,
by means of the germs that produce
1t and,
Whereas, said disease is largely
prevalent and is responsible for about
one sixth OF the death rate; and,
Whereas, every foreign nation,
and almost every state in the union,
are making earnest efforts, by
teachings on sanitation, by legislation
and otherwise, to subdue this plague
and,
Whereas, the board of health of
the state of Missouri is in harmony
with these universal endeavors to
eradicate tuberculosis;
Resolved, that it is the belief OF
this board that tuberculosis in this
state should be recognized and dealt
with as a communicable disease.
Resolved, further, that every
effort should be made to 80 improve
the sanitary laws Of the state as to
give this board means and power to
educate the people on the nature OF
tuberculosis, aud to take such meas
ures as might be deemed just, wise
and legitimate to arrest its spread
and eradicate it If possible.

taken out by national and state banks
under the system herein proposed.
II. Circulating notes issued by

mine the destiny of any pastor. If
they are good and true men, it will
he difficult for an unworthy man to
do much mischief; but If, on the
other hand, they are not true and
faithful, the best minister in the
world can accomplish but little good.
In the third epistle John speaks of
Deacon Diotrephes who was "bell-
wether" of the flock, who considered
it to be his religious duty to "run
the church" and dismiss the pastor;
who not only refused to cooperate
with John, but spent his time in
"prating against him"-in pouring
his criticisms and complaints into
the ears of the people-and more
than this, he assailed him "with
malicious Words" at<
acter by putting int tiro
damaging reports about him, ALI.
being satisfied with this he proceeded
to abuse other brethren, who would
have given the pastor their support,
and had them cast out of the church.
This is the kind of deacon that John
had to deal with, and this class are
not all in heaven yet. Even the
Christlike spirit of John could not
forget the treatment which he had
received at his hands, and so he
says: "If ! come, 1 will remember
his deeds which he has done" No
man who has any regard for his own
comfort, and who desires to succeed
in his work, can afford to risk him
self with such men. They are dan
gerous characters. Testimonials are
as important for ministerial preserv-
alton as for church protection. Let
us have both.

CHARA CTER OF CHURCHES.

From the Christian Evangelist.
A writer in the Standard, of Chi
cago, while admitting the Importance
of insisting that ministers who are
unknown to the churches shall fur
nish well authenticated testimonials
of good moral character and fitness
when seeking for the pastorate of a
church, can see no good reason why
in the matter of requiring satisfactory
testimonials, the principle should not
apply to the church as well as to the
minister. He says:
If the church insists that minister
shall furnish evidence of good moral
character, and suitable qualifications
for ministerial work, can any one
give a good reason why'the church
that seeks his services shall not make
it perfectly plain that its character
and conduct in the past have been
such as to make it worthy of good
man? A church has a character as
minister, to maintain; and the
risk OF the church in settling pastor
is not greater than that of the minis
ter in accepting the position. If
there are unworthy and incompetent
men in the ministry, there are also
churches to match them in all their
bad qualities. Great as has been the
mischief done to the churches by an
unworthy ministry, 1t is not greater
than the injury inflicted upon good
and godly men by bad churches. 1t
is not necessary that the organiza-
ton should be wholly bad in order to
make 1t dangerous. A few leading
spirits, whose financial ability and
social standing give them influence
and power, are sufficient to deter

"Amendments to bills are

OF legislation. Bills of vast public

sNr; Vest said he had no Interior
purpose in securing the advance
ment of the separate tariff bills.
He would vote for those bills. But
in the present case his only object
was to secure the change of rules,
which was essential and inevitable.
Mr.. Harris, (dem }, of Tennessee,
added his opinion in favor of a
change of rules. But he suggested
that the absence from the city of
the chairman of the committee on
rules, (Mr. Blackburn) made it
unwise to compel a report of a
form of cloture by December Is.
MIR. Harris said he would undertake
to promise that some such resolu-
tions would be reported soon after
the return of Mr.. Blackb

Aldrich (rep.), of Rhode Island,
with irony, "that this new rule
could not apply to legislation of this

that regard.

Hampshire, INDUCED in consider

SENATE DISCUSSES CHANGE OF RULES.
In the United States senate last
week there was a spirited debate
on the rules:
Mr.. Vest arose and addressed the
senate on the need of q change of
the senate rules. He modified the
form of his previous resolution so that
the committee on rules is to report
by December 10 a plan for closing
debate. Mr.. Vest said that he had
formerly opposed cloture, but he
was now convinced that cloture was
inevitable, and that it should be
effected as soon as possible. The
question was thoroughly understood,
having been debated for years, so
that the senate was in a position
to act at once. When the senate
numbered forty members, there was
no neod Of cloture, but with the
senate increasing SO that its mem
berehip would soon reach 100, II
was imperatiyely necessary to have
q rule bringing debate to close.
In reality, the present rules stifie

question when they recognize the

they labor.

CARLISLE'S REPORT.

In his annual report Secretary
Carlisle gives in detail the following
plan for reorganizing the national
banking system as the same was
referred to in the presidents mes
sage TO congress:
elm view Of the foregoing consid-
erations, and many others that
might be urged in favor OF reor-
ganization and reformation of our
paper currency system, have pre-
pared the outlines of a plan which,
in my opinion, will relieve the gov
ernment to a great extent from the
burdens now imposed upon it, secure
within a reasonable time safe and
elastic national and state bank cur
rency, and result ultimately in the
permanent retirement of United
States legal tender notes of both
classes. 1t is, in brief, as follows:
1. Repeal all laws requiring or
authorizing the deposit Of United
States bonds as security for circula-
tlon.
2. Permit national banks to issue
notes to an amount not exceeding
IS per centum of their paid up and
unimpaired capital, but require each
bank before receiving notes to
deposit guarantee fund, consisting
of United States legal tender notes,
including treasury notes Of 1890, to
the amount of 80 per centum upon
the circulating notes outstanding, to
be maintained at all times, and
whenever a bank retires its circula-
ton in whole or in part the guarantee
fund to be returned in proportion
TO the amount of notes retired.
8. Retain the provision of law
making stockholders individually
liable and provide that the circula-
ton notes shall constitute a first lien
upon all the assets of the banks.
4. Impose a tax of one half of l
per centum per annum, payable
semi annually, upon the average
amount OF notes In circulation to
deiray the expenses of printing
notes, official supervision, cancella-
ton, etc.
8. No national bank note to be
OF less denomination than $40, and
all notes Of the same denomination
to be In uniform design; but banks
desiring to redeem their notes in
gold may have them made payable
in that coin. The secretary of the
treasury to have authority to pre-
pare and keep on hand ready for
issue upon application, reserve OF
blank national bank notes for each
banking association having circula-
ton.
@. Require each national bank
ing association to redeem its notes
at its own office, or at its own on
cial agencies, to be designated by it.
z. To provide g safety fund for
the immediate redemption Of the
circulating notes OF failed banks,
imposed tax OF - per cent per
annum upon the average circulation
OF each bank until the fund amounts
to Ave per cent Of the total eircula-
tion outstanding. Require each new
bank and each bank taking out
additional circulation to deposit its
proper proportion Of this fund before
recsiving notss.-- When . bank fails,
Ithe guarantee fund held on deposit
to BE- paid Into the safety fund and
used In the rederbptlon Of it, notes,
and II this fund shall be impaired BY

The two territories nearest state

the president will proclaim the new

Besides these, Arizona, Oklahoma,
Alaska, and the District of Columbia

probably, be admitted to statehood,

enough to control state legislation.
Col. Hatch says that the quality of
oleomargarine has been greatly i'm
proved by the government law. He
still thinks that it causes dyspepsia,
because in the process of manufac-
ture the beef suet and the hog lard
are not subjected to the heat neces-
sary to render them healthful. Where
oleomargarine is used for cooking
purposes, Col. Hatch does not think
it is injurious. The author of the
oleomargarine law has no purpose,
he says, to stop the sale, but simply
to regulate it. "If people want it
let them have it," is his present
platform on the subject of artificial
butter.
