According to Or. Hawthorne, of At
lanta, if all the rascals were put in Jail both
the commerce and the society of the
world would come to a standstill; there
wouldn't be enough people out of jail
to do anything, unless it were to hold
prayermeeting. Now, DR.. Hawthorne,
considering his environments, cannot be
blamed for thinking that things are pretty
dark for this old world, But we prefer
to think things are bright and getting
brighter. The world has had the benefit
of the teachings and example of Jesus
Christ for nearly two thousand years, and
we cannot think that those teachings and
that example have been so weak and
futile that everybody except those in one
or two walks of life are thieves and
liars. AS matter of fact, it
seems to US that there is a good
deal more of honor, virtue and Christian
charity in the world than the world is
ususally credited with having. 1t should
aforementioned that we seldom hear of
good deeds that are done, while evil
deeds are proclaimed from the housetops.
We feel quite certain that there would
be plumbers, AMI real estate men, and
bankers, and manufacturers and brokers,
and other men engaged in worldly pur-
suits, doing business at the old stand, if
all the thieves were cornered and jailed.
There are pulpits that would suffer,
though, il pharisees were included in the

Inc RuSSO-Gefman treaty discussed in
our cable from Berlin yesterday is the one
of which the German emperor said re-
Gently that it must be ratified by the
Reichstag al once, or the result would be
war between the two countries within
three months. The treaty, by the way, is
designed TO put an end to the economic
war between the countries which the
kaiser himself started when he was
younger and less experienced in state
craft. Williams reconciliation with Bis
marck and his attitude towards Russia in
commercial matters indicate that he is
growing wiser as he grows older.

purpose of paying pensions. Where is

wishes should not only not be consulted,
but the tax, in his case, should be

Campau's idea were put into practice
there would spring up in the north such a
loud demand for pension reform as this
country has never heard. Under Mr.
Campaus plan the much greater part Of
the pension burden would be borne by the
north and northwest, the sections in
which pension money is distributed.

The New Paving Programme.

The city council yesterday showed it's
business sense in changing its purpose to
take up the shell pavement on jefferson
street and put down Belgian blocks. The
aldermen decided to relieve the travel on
that narrow thoroughfare by paving one
side of West Broad street, thereby adding
another paved street to the citys road
ways. 1t is understood that JEFF
ferson street will be put in good order
at once. This change was made
after listening to the arguments of prop
eTty owners and residents ION the shelled
section of jefferson street against putting
down Belgian blocks, Alderman O'Brien,
chairman of the street and lane commit
tee, advocating that council do as the cit
liens in interest suggested, aud Alderman
Myers, chairman of the finance committee,
making the motion to pave West Broad
street. 1t is pleasure for citizens to at
tend meeting Of council, when their
statements end arguments are listened to
so courteously as they were yesterday.

CAPRIVI THE SOLDIER.

From the New York Tribune.
It is doubtful whether Won Caprivi
would give up the chancellorship with
any deep regret for the office Shortly
after his appointment as Prince Bis
marck's successor, he remarked to a
friend: 1T is only because ] am a SOL
dier, and because it is my duty to obey
my superior officer, that ! am chancel-
lor o. the empire to-day" Duty i'm
presses one as being the keynote of his
character. while his inspiration was his
army corps. In reply to congEatula-
tions upon his maiden speech IN the
Reichstag. he said; But soldier is
not an orator. Have you ever thought
of the three men in the world who
must move the hearts and emotions Of
their fellow men-the preacher, the
poet and the soldier? To the preacher
and the poet are given all the wealth
and power of language; but the sol
dier. he who must move men TO the
death before them. has naugnt but the
words of command" As he spoke his
whole face was lighted with an enthu-
siasm that made it easy 10 recognize
how such soldier-leader could inspire
his regiments
At the beginning OF his chancellor
skip he spoke very little English. but
read it with ease, being especially fond
of George Eliot's novels Busy as have
been his three years in office he has
found time to devote 10 the practice Of
speaking English. and has made deeid-
ed progress. His knowledge OF for
eign lands has been much gained from
books. from men and from a stern
experience.
Once at dinner when the subject OF
uniforms was being discussed he said:

PUT THEM TO WORK.
There has been much discussion

There has been much discussion in the
papers concerning the power of cities to
imprison for the collection Of fines inn
posed for the violation of city ordi-
nance, and to compel inmates of city
prisons, while confined therein, to work
in a reasonable and proper manner. A
late opinion of our supreme court holds
shat such power exists, and refers to
various decisions of other courts upon
the same question. The Kansas supreme
court, however, expressly decides that
the work must be suitable for the age,
sex and condition of the prisoner, and
forbids unnecessary harshness or excess
i've violence by any policeman or other
city officer. The person is not impris-
oned for debt, but as punishment. He
can work his Imprisonment out at SO
much per day. if the authorities see fit.
A vagrant may be set to work on the
streets just as the state puts convicts in
the penitentiary at hard labor. The
court settles the whole matter in detail
by the citing cf many decisions of the
supreme court of the United States and
of other superior courts.

GROVER AND his BARONS.

Whatever we may say of Cleveland S
executive ability, he is a fnancier of no
small .dimensions-when aided by his
barons. 1t was a smooth deal from
start to finish, to cut off the revenues by
paralyzing the industries of the country,
placing the government in the position
of calf with Its head in the fence, or a
business man with good credit and
abundant resources, called down by his
banker for payment. As prearranged,
this forced the issue of bonds which, in
turn, provided a safe investment for
some of the barons' Idle millions while
the common people are wrestling with
deprecated stocks, collapsed booms,
mortgages, judgments and other factors
to an all round adjustment of things.
The late order for $50, 900, 900 will, doubt
less, prove insufficient for this demand.
but others will be forthcoming till all are
supplied. the limit being drawn by the
governments ability to pay, and the
facilities for turning them out at the
public printing office. The president
has shown something more than mere
financial acumen by his success in
handling congress. All along the line,
in the late discussions, there have heen
more or less of oratorical protests which
seem to have been inspired by honest
convictions. Members have presented
views, familiar as household words to
the Jeffersonian school of Democrats,
eliciting no other response than the
echo from inhospitable walls. 1t is here
we see the master strokes of the presi-
dents policy. Indeed it is something
,Iore than diplomacy OF party discipline

Democratic congress, with a Tammany
head and Populist tail, is entitled to
all the glory of the achievement, and his
name should be handed down as the
greatest hypnotizer and paralyzer the
century has produced. The barons will
not contest his honors in this line. 1t
will be glory enough to them to furnish
the laboratory and provide the funds for
incidental expenses. They will repair to
Europe to clip their coupons and take
their ease. The adverse winds which
have spread financial ruin over the west
ern nine-tenths of the country
will not reach the spas or salons
of France, nor the sunny shores
or luxuriant retreats of the orient.
Earthly glory and the applause of the
vulgar multitude go for little when
measured by the bodily comforts which
money will buy. To repose the PAM
pered frame on downy beds or drifting
gondolas, to tempt the palate with viands
known only to the connoisseur. to regale
the ear with the merry chimes of cathe-
dral bells, OF battle the fevefed brow in
gentle zephyrs, is enough to satiate
human desires, and our autocratlc
friends will yield the glory of ruling
and reigning to the pebian and place
hunter.
