up as examples of the highest virtue to
future generations.
The Romans worshipped a god of
drink: but theirs was a faint-hearted
alteration when compared with that of
the present day. Bacchus lost moth
ing by waiting, for the devotion that is
lavished upon him now is enough to
make the ancient Greek and Roman
writhe in their graves for shame. because
of the way they neglected him. When
the future historian reSurrectS us and
places us on pedestal beside the Rom
an, am afraid that we shall be found
wanting. Most all the great authors of
this century wrote more about what
they drank than they did of anything
else, and it is the author who
was the greatest drunkard, (erratic ge-
MUS it is called) who will stand the
best chance of being read in the future.
Some of our immortal poets were never
sober. Fancy what the future student
will think of us when he reads the biOg
raphies of some of our present day in
tellectual giants. It would be but nat
ural if he concluded that ours was
drunken age, for cOrrObOratlye evidence
is plentiful. Every evil and folly that
is committed in these times of refine
ment is attributed to drink. When the
student of the future reads of how JUS
tice was administered he will probably
forgive the dispensers of it, on the plea
of drunkenness, for he will surely be-
lieve that they we're intoxicated when
he reads of one man being sentenced to
life imprisonment for stealing one cent,
and another man, in the same court, re-
ceiving but one years sentence for steal
ing million dollars This is but one
case, there are thousands of others of a
like nature that are being perpetrated
daily, by insane reformers.
If an honest person stands up now-a-
days and speaks the truth of what he
knows about society, he is denounced
as crank There is no man so pOpu-
lar as the one who tells us that we
are the most heavenly creatures that
ever blessed the earth. If we would
but lay aside the rose colored spectacles
through which we view ourselves and
calmly examine, with the naked eye, as
we do the ancients and their mode of
living, | believe we would find as
many, if not more, defects in our lives,
than were possessed by the the wicked
est Romans. All we lack to purify
our lives is to exercise little more
consistency and little less hypocricy
little more virtue and little less
flattery. w. MON.

THE DEVIL.

Men don't believe in Devil now. as their fathers
used to do,
They have forced the door of various creeds to
let his Majesty through.
There isn't print of his cloven foot, or a fiery
dart from his bow
To be found in earth or air tO-day-fOr the world
has voted so.
But who is mixing the fatal draught that palsies
heart and brain,
And loads the bier of each passing year with ten
hundred thousand slain?
Who blightS the bloom of the land to-day with
the fiery breath of hell,
If the Devil isn't and never was? Won't some
body rise and tell?
Who dogs the steps of the to1ling saint, and digs
the pit for his feet?
Who sows the tares in the field of time wherever
God sOwS wheat?
The Devil is voted not to be, and of course the
thing is true;
But who just now is doing the work the Devil
alone should do?
We are told he does not 60 about like a roaring
lion now;
But whom shall we hold responsible for the ever
lasting row
To be heard in hOme in church and state, to the
earth'S remOteSt bound,
If the Devil by unanimous vote is nowhere to
be found?
Won't somebody step to the front forthwith, and
make their bow and show
How the frauds and the crimes of single day
spring up? We want to know.
The Devil was fairly voted out, and of course
the DEVILS gone;
ries his business on.

we may enter blind-folded and un-
der mercurial dream; and before
we again pass the boundary, intangible
as line of longitude, yet often more
difficult to cross than the Alps, we are
made to drink of leIhe, and carry away
next to nothing. But for all that, it is
a region where there is much more
movement astir than we generally
imagine, and where a great deal of
important business is in progress
beyond that of overhauling the animal
machinery. We do not know enough
of this unconscious cerebratiOn-this
commerce necessarily carried on in the
brain cells, to be able to understand the
full utility of such a perpetual hustle
of ideas; we are in the position of
child who peers through the dust dim

looking down upon the roaring

Criminal Contagion.

One of the phrases which newspaper
reporters are wont to abuse is IAN cpl
demic of crime" Whenever several
sensational crimes Of the same kind
occur at about the same time we are
treated to glaring headlines-"an cpl
demic of MURDER san epidemic of
arson,' or, as lately, 'an epidemic OF
train-robbing."
Yet, despite this abuse of the phrase,
there is really something contagious
about crime Take the case of woman
who killed her four children, and at
tempted suicide, leaving written state
ment in which she said she meant to
commit these horrible acts "as woman
did it, which was in the newspaper"
Or consider the ascertained fact that
out of one hundred and Seventy-seven
persons condemned to death in France
only three had not been present at
other public executions.
Quite in line with this idea Of the
contagion of crime is the avowal of the
notorious Lacenaire, who said, when
a Young man enters prison and hears OF
the grand exploits of the others he
regrets that he has not been greater
criminal himself"
Not merely the force of bad example,
in the ordinary sense, but kind of
spontaneous criminal impulse some
times seems to spread from person to
person. Crime has it's fashions, almost
it's eras.
In former days the brutal publicity
of punishment was great source of
criminal cOntagion; in our time the
sensational newspaper is the most COM
mon medium for the transfer of the
bacillus of crime. A healthful tone in
our everyday journalism is needed as a
moral tonic.--Y Youth's Companion.

ANCIENT VS.. MODERN CUSTOMS.
Refinement the Only Difference. Virtue

Refinement the Only Difference. Virtue
the Quintessence of Civilization.
While reading Roman history, one is
struck with the similarity, regarding the
events of that period with those of the
present time and the likeness is es-
pecially noticeable in the struggles for
reform. The Roman patrician mani
tested the same hostility toward the
advocates of peoples rights as the Eng
lish tory does toward the reformers of
to-day. That the Roman methods of
silencing the champions of human free
dom were more effective than those
which our modern patricians are al
lowed to practice, is true, but the incli-
nation to use similar methods is just
as strong to-day as it was centuries ago;
for the arrogance of our modern patri-
clan would do credit to the proudest
Roman that ever committed murder
The Roman patrician's conception of
civilization was that ninetyfive per
cent of the worlds population should
be slaves to the remaining five per
cent, and the putrid- -blooded aristocrat
of the present day maintains the same
views; so that the only progress that
has been made by that class of human
ity is in the cut of their clothing
Almost every class of people have their
own peculiar conception of what consti
tutes civilization, and it is difficult tC
determine which of them is correct
That ours is an age Of invention ano
scientific research is one of the strongest
arguments put forth that we are enjoy
ing the highest standard of civilization
yet attained, but we find as much inge
nuity displayed by the savage in his
native woods as can be found in the ar
tisan of the city, for necessity is as
much the mother of invention with one
class as it is with another. Others
would have us believe that the man who
walks into an exchange and hOod-winks
his neighbOr out of fortune in few
hours, is the highest civilized man i1
the community. Another, and perhaps
the strongest claim advanced, thai
ours is higher civilization is that WI

REPUBLICAN ORGANS O..

One can best Judge of a party
by the character and capacity of
its party organs. In the State OF
Nevada fourteen of its leading
newspapers advocate the cause OF
the Silver party. Five miseI able,
mercenary, time saving sheets are
left which pipe the lay of mono
metalism in this State.
The Enterprise, a journal whose
itch for classification and cowardly
inuendo goes hand in hand with
its lack of ability and decency.
Then comes the Reno Gazette,
the only paper in Nevada that
ever went through Il campaign
supporting different candidates
on opposing tickets. 1t is the
yelping, barking, bowling coyote
of Nevada Journalism, swapping
at travellers along the highway,
and Sinking back in the sage
brush whenever one shows signs
of being annoyed. The third
paper is a White Pine county
sheet.whose name we have for
gotten.
The other organ is the News
and Tribune oil this city. The
twilight edition being too weak to
be of any use t. the party, it was
supplemented by a mornig appen-
di-. every time the shutdown edi-
tor of the Tribune opens its mouth,
it gives the other side a splendid
text, and the indicative clamor-
ing of the early-dawn publication
at General Jones, is fast rolling
up votes for him.
If the Silver Central Committee
don't send the News-Tribune a
check for a handsome amount
after the campaign is over, it
will show a lack Of gratitude
which will merit the eXecration
OF al. fair minded people.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l4-The suggestion
has been made that the senate may pos

tors being called 10 this the positive state
ment was made that not only would such

Concerning the case of Mr.. Peckham,
there appears to be much activity on both
sides of the chamber. While there is an
evident desire not to give the action of the
senate a partisan tinge, il il said that, II
need be, the practically solid republican
vote could he thrown against Mr.. Peck

N,w Consuls Want More Pay.

WASHINGTON. Feb. i6.-Some of the
newly appointed consuls are dissatisfied
with their salaries. Through members
of congress and others they have been
making an effort to secure an increase in
the income allowed them by the govern.
ment. These increases will not be al
lowed. As one of the mem bers ofthe house
foreign affairs committee said: These
gentlemen tumbled over each other
in their haste to obtain appointments.
The salaries in every case are fully ade-
quate to the services performed, especially
when the amount Of the fees ut some OF
the consular offices is taken into consid-
Grafton. This is one reason why in my
judgment the committee will not grant
any increased compensation either for the
consuls themselves or for additional
clerical force. Another il the depleted
condition of our national finances"

THE TARIFF STRUGGLE.
Democrats Preparing to Prevent Re-
commitment of the Bill

WASHINGTON, Feb. l5.-There is a story
afoat that at the meeting OF the demo-
cratic members OF the finance committee
il was agreed that a statement should be
issued regarding the action OF the COM
mittee as TO what had been done in regard
to the sugar schedule. This report fixed
the duty that had been agreed upon at
one cent a pound on both raw and refined
sugar, or il il exceeded this amount,
that it should be equal on both sugars.
Mr.. Brice, of Ohio. is understood 10
believe a small duty ought to be kept on
wool, and two or three other democrats
from the northwest. il is believed, can be
induced to act favorably on wool. At
least, the wool men feel much NOR. conf
dent thar they did, and the fact that the
subcommittee is now considering the
alleged great disparity between free wool
and the duty on manufactured wool
leads the wool men to believe they will
secure some advantage. Ii is probable
that the fight for the recommitment OF
the bill will be inaugurated by those
senator's interested in wool, and the
cheerful mood of such senators indicates
that they are hopeful of good results.
Ii is apparent, however, that the chances
for rccommitting the bill with instructions
10 have hearings, are not so good As they
were two weeks ago, for the reason that
the finance committee will. if such result
be possible, conciliate all factions With
the democratic party and report TO the
senate q bill that Will commend itself TO
the united party. Discussions which now
exist are expected to be wiped out and if
this be true, there will be little probability
of any democrats joining hands with the
republicans to compel the finance commit
tee to AXE n fresh start.
