Dishonest Municipal omeials.

New York and New Orleans are hav-
ing similar experiences with their Off
Gals In New York the police officials
are charged with Matchmaking citizens,
the understanding being that the amount
of bIackman collected by the public has
amounted for a number Of years to as
much as slO,OO0OOO a year. II the evil
! dence brought out by the Lexow commit
tee is to be relied upon it IS evident that
no class of citizens that could be reached
| by the blackmailers has escaped the pay
ment of tribute to those guardians Of the
/ peace.
In New Orleans the alleged blackmail-
/ ers are members of the city council.
These hlaCkmailers granted no privileges
! in their respective wards without exact
ing tribute from those who sought them.
One of the councilmen is now on trial
on the charge of having demanded and
received from a wood and coal company
$500 for allowing the company to remove
It's coal yards. The money, it is alleged
went into the councilman's pocket 1t
was certainly never turned into the city
treasurer
There are other councilmen who it is
said, blackmailed the contractors for the
new Parish court house to the extent OF
many thousands of dollars. They have
been indicted, and will soon be placed on
trial
This is a very lamentable showing for
the greatest northern city ana the
greatest southern city. They may be
the only cities in the country
that have been plundered by those
selected to guard their in
terests At least they are the
only two which have been brought to the
attention of the public There may be
many more. 1t is to be hoped there are
not.
The mistake people of the cities too
often make is the putting of men in
charge of their city governments who are
not honest, and who seek municipal posi-
tions only to rob the citizens The public
is altogether too lenient with the men
who, having been chosen to positions OF
trust, prove themselves unworthy of
them. They should be dealt
with as vigorously as if they
were common criminals. If the police
officials of New York and the councilmen
of New Orleans are guilty of the crimes
charged against them they should be
punished to the full extent of the law. If
any of them should be convicted they
should be required to serve out the full
term of their sentence. The governor
who would pardon them should receive
the condemnation of the people Unless
examples are made of such men cities
will be plundered by those chosen to adj
miaister their affairs, and it will be i'm
possible to get honest men and men of
ability to accept places of councilmen or
take other city Offices. The cities will be
given over to blackmailers and swindlers
who will defy public sentiment and fill
their pockets at the expense of the people

The Atlanta journal says: "The popu-
lists will run candidates in all of the dis
tricts except, perhaps, the First. They
have so few followers in that district that
it is hard to get any one to make the
effort to be a candidate" The journal is
in a great part right and a small part
wrong. Although very few people seem
to know it, there is a populist candidate
in this district against Col. Lester. His
name is DR.. --, DR.. --; oh, well, it's

tinction between making us liable to
sin and making us to sin. Unfortunate
ly religion has for ages been followed
with but little thought. In fact thought,
In other words reason, has been siren
ously pushed aside. Consequently the
existence Of sin has been dealt with
most unsatisfactory.
1t has been argured that the converted
criminal, one whose soul Is impregnated
with the results of deeds Of violence and
lawlessness, or the licentiate, after all
his debauchery; with soul polluted with
sin Is, upon processing religion, received
into the pure atmosphere Of Gods pres
ence and thereby receives the great joy Of
eternal bliss, while the man who has re-
sisted temptation upon temptation, yet
has made no professions, Is left without
the solace of Fathers caressing hand.
Danish the thought, Brethren, as you
have banished 1t before with perhaps
some doubt but do so now with empha-
sis. No holiness is experienced until the
soul is purified of all its foreign accretions
and the process is not done In a moment.
This is the appeal which comes to us
as Universalists. We have been blessed
to see early the Divine and Universal
Fatherhood. It has been our mission to
proclaim this truth both by word and act
and to which our UNCONVENTIONAL fathers
have been true, 1t is for us as we be-
come impregnated with the truth to do
our part to propagate its validity by
our lives. Let us understand and re-
member that no progress towards the
Christian life is made by tearing down
only. We must build up also. We shonld
help others to pull up the weeds of error
from their garden of faith, but at the
same time, show by the fruit of our own
life that we know how to cultivate the
plant of Christian character.
