Why Editors are Unbelievers.

Rev. DR.. Talmage, says an exchange,
gives the following sensible reasons
why skepticsm exists among the news
paper men: One Of the greatest
trials Of the newspaper profession is
that its members are compelled to see
more of the shams of the world than
any other profession. Through all the
newspaper offices passes day after day
all the wickedness of the world, all
church chickering's, all vanties that
want to be repaired and all the mis-
takes that want to be corrected and
all the dull speakers that want to be
eloquent, all the meanness that wants
to get its name noticed gratis in its
columns, in order to save the tax of
the advertising columns all the crank
philosophers with stories as long as
their hair and as gloomy as their
faces. Through the editorial and re-
portorial rooms all the follies and
shams of the world are seen day after
day and the temptation is to believe
in neither God, man nor woman. 1t
is no surprise to me that in this pro-
fession there are skeptics. l only
wonder that journalists believe any
thing"

WORK.
New York Tribune. |

The girl who is ashamed of work
is common person in this Demo
cratic country. This is probably one
of the necessary evils arising from the
abandonment of fixed standards of
social rank. The vulgar and foolish
are apt to measure the consideration
due an individual by the length of her
purse. Thus it comes that Haunting
Incidence is set up as the standard OF
a lady by large class who are too
stupid to understand any other dis
tlnCtlOn.
The beautiful old definition of a
lady as loaf-giver--the gentle dispen-
ser of kindness and charity or Philip
Hamerton's newer definition, ga
woman in high stage of cultivation,
are ignored, and A " lady, comes to
mean any woman, albeit ignorant OF
gralnmer and all the rs, who can
afford to live without work. Carlyle
in that wonderful collection of essays
Sartor, Resartus" says: Ye must
either work or steal, by whatever
name you call your stealing" No
woman who lives in Incidence can be
in a d" high state of civilization. "
Wealth does not give her the right to
be dull clod. The wealthiest woman
are oftentimes the busiest ones. A
gentle woman whose life and wealth
was devoted to Others died not long
since, clearly the victim of overwork
for the good of others. Similar
instances are not unknown. Certainly
the plodder at the factory, in the
kitchens and workshops of our land
are not the only workers. All noble
conscientious women have work enough
to fill all their time.
The idle woman, who is the ideal
lady of the ignorant, is bitterly pun
ished for her waste OF precious time.
No sin is more frequently condemned
by Holy Writ than idleness, and no
exception is made in favor Of the rich
The power to waste does not give any

instead of this bill sounding the death
kneil Of the Democratic party, believe
it is but the first step onward to a
higher prosperity and a more glorious
career. If it shall only have the
courage to move farther on the line
which has been selected, believe
instead of our Republican friends in
1897 seeing a Republican President
inaugurated, that the standard O.
Democracy will be advanced still
higher, and that our banners will
again float over the House of Repre-
sentatives, the Senate, and the White
