HONESTY THE BEST POLICY

It is strange how reluctant young
men are to accept the most vital truth
in life that the most absolute honesty
is the only kind of honesty, that sue
ceeds in business. 1t is not question
of religion or religious beliefs. Honesty
does not depend on any religious creed
or dogma that was ever conceived. 1t
is question of young mans own
concience. He knows what is right
and what is wrong. And yet, simple
as the matter is, it is astonishing how
difficult it is of understanding. An
honest course in business seems too
slow to the average young man. Il
can't afford to plod along, [ must strike
and strike quickly" is the sentiment.
All, yes, my friend, but not dishonesty.
No Young man can afford to even think
of dishonesty. Success on honorable
lines may sometimes seem slower IN
coming, but when it does come it out
rivals in permanency all the so-called
successes gained by other methods.
TO look at the methods of others is
is always mistake. The successes OF
today are not given to the imitator
but to the originator. 1t makes no
difference how other men may succeed
their successes are theirs and not
YOURS. You cannot partake of it
Every man is law unto himself. The
most absolute integrity is the one anC
the only sure foundation of success
Such success is lasting. Other kinds
of successes may seem so, but it is al
in the seeming and not in the reality
Let young man swerve from the patti
of honesty and it will surprise him hoV
, quickly every avenue of lasting success
is closed against him. Making none.
, dishonesty is the most difficult thing t.
accomplish in the world, just as lyin
is the practice most wearing to tn
8 mind. 1t is the young man of unques
e toned integrity who is selected for tn
l important position. No business MAJ
0 ever places his business in the hands c
S a young man whom he feels he cannC
o trust. And to be trusted means to b
0 honest. Honesty, and that alone, con
h mands confidence. An honest life, we
S directed, is the only life for a youn
II man to lead. 1t is the one life that
l. compatible with the largest and sure:
q business success.-Sel.

How COMMON has become the ex-
preston, 81 cannot do this, or that, be-
cause my conscience will not allow me
to- when the fact is, it was capriclous-
ness or uncertainty that deferred them.
The definite and distinctive work OF
conscience is to carry out what Judg-
ment approves. We do not want to be
understood as depreciating consclen-
tiOusness. There is not a nObler sight
than that of a man who tries in every
thing to act conscientious part, and
to preserve conscience void OF offence
before God and man. But then con-
science must act in harmony with truth.
1t must endeavor to enforce truth, and
carry it out in action in all the details
of life. 1t must not lift itself above
truth, sit in Judgment upon, or oppose
truth. for no mans convictions are
test of truth. He must not imagine
his own opinions and conduct are right,
simply because his conscience tells him
so: or because his companions, Or
clique tell him so, or approve them.
That our opinions are right, or our con-
uctlawful, must be established by other
testimony than of our individual con
science or party appreciation. OF
course every man has right to adopt
any mode of life he pleases, and for the
proper exercise of that right he Is
responsible to God and his fellow man
But. when he arrogates to himself thl:
right, rejecting all the teachings O.
the learned and holy men Of all ages
he becomes an egotist and fool. Whe1
he rejects the almost divine wisdom
of these sanity men who have devoted
life to the studyof nature, and nature
God, simply because his conscienc
tells him they are wrong, and he right
is the extreme of self sutficiency. Hi
rejection of their teachings may be tn
result of conscientious convictions, bu
such convictions are no proof that hi
=, concience is enlightened, much less ca
it show their teachings to be erroneou
. We should be sure that what our col
science tell us is right, or wrong
. based upon the truth, as taught by hol
and learned men: and we should stud
- their lives more to this end. Self-r
' lance is noble and manly trait, bl
y too frequently it leads to egotism an
.. error. We do not cry often enoug

The MOST notable, as well as most
successful strike of late years was that
won by the ready-made clothing work
ers in New York city recently. 1t has
been the general impression that these
people had not the ambition to strike;
that they had become so used to star
walton wages, they were content
to exist merely. The result in New
York proves that they are not only
alive to their condition, but that they
know when to strike; when the mar
ket is on the ascendency, and work
plenty. Sweat shops all over the coun
try are preparing to go out, and we hope
they may win.

THERE is scarcely spot on earth |
that England has not sent some kind |
of commission to inquire into condi-
lions of every nature. But we think
in the recent commission sent to the
United States to investigate the moral
conditions of the south, she has reached
that height of presumptousness that
we may we'll ask. what next? And we
can scarcely believe that the level headed,
and intelligent Englishman sanction
anything of this kind. There are no
people in the civilized world so ready
to condemn, or so quick to punish out
rage, or oppression, as the American
people; and this England we'll knows,
as she has had one or two evidences OF
this fact. The lynchings in this coun-
try are very few, and confined almost
wholly to that portion Of our vast coun-
try, the mountainous parts of the south,
where courts and law are almost un-
known: and in cases where, were the
members of this same commission
personally interested, they would be
the first to pull the rope. While The
MIRROR condemns lynch law; while
it will ever uphold law and order, and
advocate the punishment for crime, to
fit the case; in the majority of instances
where lynching has been resorted to
during the past few years, there is no
, human law severe enough to punish
} these inhuman monsters; these fiends
/ of hell who deliberately outrage deal

hood, sacred mothers and wives. AnC

THE RECENT convention of Temper
ance workers held at Chicago, in which
ministers and laymen of all denomina
tions participated, is one of the most
healthful signs of the day; demonstrate
ing clearly that the war against liquor
is to be carried on with an aggressiveness
never before undertaken. There has
never been time, when any particular
body of men, or followers of any one
creed organized for the purpose of
fighting this evil, but the whole liquor
world was banded against them. While
in certain localities these organizations
have accomplished some good, as a
whole, they have been weak. The
temperance movement has entered into
our politics in various forms, and with
what result? Liquor dealers have
organized; and with unlimited resources,
have blocked the way OF any legislation
that had a tendency to decrease their
power, or interfere with their calling
The only successful way to fight this evil
lies in unity. 1t is battle for the hope
and welfare of the entire God-lovlne
world. The evil effects of this vice
reach into the home of the rich, as
well as the poor; the catholic and the
protestant are alike affected. 1t is Gods
cause. 1t is the cause of suffering
drink-cursed humanity. And all whe
love God, their country, and their fellow
man, no matter what form they adopt
in their religious worship, should ban(
together under the one common flag
