The Purity of Men.
80 v,u- rrr..t--,

Your bright little paper enters our home each
morning and We read with interest the article
under the heading "Are all men moral lepers,"
Mrs. j. C. H. voices the sentiments of many
women Of our land. AS / read Mr.. Thompson's
false accusation my cheeks burned with indigna-
tion. and, women, we ought to resent II in
some way. / am more fortunate than he, for
know more than one "good fellow" in my home,
among my friends In my memory of a sainted
father will say / believe his character for
purity wa equal to my mothers.
1t Is high time for us to disabuse peoples
minds. Do not let them think all men are bad,
They are not: but one thing let us look to as
mothers Those of who have Young daugh-
how careful We are that their girl friends are
pure and spotless in character. Are as careful

Discontinuance of Customs Offices.

Some legislation is probable during the
present Congress looking to the abolition of
the Offices of collectors of customs at a num-
Der of the smaller ports, and the transferring
of the business transacted by them to the
larger offices. 1t Is asserted that the ex-
penses of maintaining the smaller customs
houses is unnecessary and may at times re-
suit in actual loss OF revenue on account of
the inexperience of officials at the ports where
they are employed. A bill on this subject is
now before the House Committee on Expend-
itures in the Treasury Department and has
been given some consideration by the COM
mittae

IN HAuNTS OF HOLSTERS.

Senator voorhees, is beginning TO hear from
his constituents. This is the time of year
when county conventions are held. Several
conventions have been held by the Hoosier
Democrats, and they have raised their voices
against the Tall Sycamore. They pronounce
for the Wilson bill as il passed the House.
They are opposed TO any and all amendments.
They care nothing about prospective deficit.
and hold that whatever the House does is
right and good. These little condemnations
do not disturb Mr.. Voorhees,.
Senator Turpie is to discuss the tariff bill.
The Republicans may prepare for an over
hauling. The junior Senator from Indiana
never lets slip an opportunity to tell what he
terms the rascally carvings on OF the Repub
iicans during the war. He Speaks seven Ian
guages, but when aiming at Republicans uses
only English. He uses that with a vigor
born OF intense enmity.
Henry T. johnson, the man who talks four
hundred words a minute, has been renom-
mated by the Republicans OF his Hoosier
district As his party has about ten thousand
maiority.i he will naturally be elected. The
district Is the same that was represented SO
long by George W. Julian. and alterward by

county OF the district. and in the old slavery
days WAS the headquarters of the under
ground railroad. 1t is the boast of the old
Quaker settlers that no slave who reached
the county was ever captured by his owner.
MississipDians Entertained.
Last night was Mississippi night at the
Naval Observatory. on Georgetown Heights.
The visiting delegation from that state was
large. and better night could not have been
selected by the party for their visit. Up in
the towers. where the great telescopes were
trained on the sky all evening. could be found
an interested group around the man in
charge and attentively listening to his de-
scription of Jupiter and its moons and other
facts of astronomy. The long terrace on the
roof of the buildings was an especial point of
interest. This walk was particularly inviting.
and those who took advantage OF the oppor-
tunity offered were afforded an excellent
view Of the city. glisteniEg with its many
lights. Among those present were Senator
A. J. McLaurin. OF Mississippi. and his

members of Congress from Mississippi: Gen.

the Meridian News; J. c. Burke. A. NJ. Pey-

Those vino have watched the course OF leg
islation since discussion OF the tatif bill
began can readily see that the whisky ring
has had the controlling hand. The chairman
of the Senate Finance Committee has been
the champion OF whisky in and out of season.
He has only urged one point; that was that
the rate on distilled spirits should be in
creased. This the subcommittee granted
without Il murmur. He accepted the bill as
reported by the subcommittee without ques-
ton and prepared to defend it on the floor.
The sugar trust still feels that it is has to
fight for its life. as there is a strong sentiment
both in the Senate and the House in favor of
keeping sugar on the free list. Members OF
the House especially do not like the idea of
going back to constituents just now exasper-
ated over a raise of cents pound on sugar.
If the effect of the sugar schedule could be
postponed until after next November they
would not object so seriously.

During the whole Of the Harrison adj
ministration we were on the highway or
prosperity. The government was liberal-
~ and effectively performing its func-
tons. Public improvements were being
made where needed, and the government
by wise and economical expenditures kept
step with a prosperous and happy peopie;
whereas, for the last year under Cleve-
land. there has been great distress
throughout the land. The revenues Of the
government have fallen off, and the ex-
penditures of the government have in
creased except for pensions.
1.-The present condition of the country
under the respective policies Of harrison
and Cleveland is known by all, and its
future condition will depend upon the
economic and fiscal policies which will
be chosen by the people at the ballot-boX.
Notwithstanding the great distress
throughout the country there have been
many increases in the salaries of Demo-
cratic officials, especially in the diplomatic
first assistant secretary of state has been
increased from $500 to $500. The min
ister at Belgium. Mr.. Ewing Of Illinois,
the former law partner of the vice-presi-
dent. had his salary increased from $500
to $4,000. The ministers to Switzerland
and Portugal, Messrs. Caruth and Broad
head, have been increased from 5000 to
$G5OO respectively. The minister to Mex
leo, ex-Gov. Gray Of Indiana. who re-
ceives an annual salary Of $17,5OO, had
the salary of his secretary of legation in
creased from $500 to $3.50. Ministers
to Nicaragua and Costa Rica, for the
first time, are allowed secretaries of lega-
tion at $500 each, while the Bureau Of
American Republics, established under
the auspices of Secretary Blaine to pro-
mote commerce and recipocty-a real
seryice-is cut down from $4,000 to S1O,-
600. Six auditors of the treasury depart
ment are increased from $1,000 to $4,000
each. The salaries of great many con-
suls and other officials have been largely
increased.
"All the. Democratic officials have re-
ceived their appointments under Mr..
Cleveland. For years they declaimpd in
common with all other Democrats about
the extravagant salaries of officials, and
pledged, if they came into power. there
should be economy and reform. There
is no excuse for the increase Of most Of
these salaries. ] call attention to the
matter to show the difference between
promise and performance.
