ReHormers That Don't Reform.

EDITOR ADvooATE:-For the last
quarter of q century we have heard from
the platform and read from the press
the great hue and cry raised against the
robber tariff.
The democrat party have bsen saying
for twenty-five years, give us q chance
and We will give you tariff reform. So
the people, believing the appeals were
sincere, gave them the chief executive
and both branches of congress. But no
sooner had they begun to reform the
tariff than the protected barons began
to schreech and scramble for spoils and
protection.
Gould they find anyone to champion
their cause in the democrat psrtyP One
would naturally think they could not,
owing to the fact that they had been
denOunoing the protected bsrons for loI
these many years. But no sooner had
they begun to talk tariff reform than
the vipers OF monopoly began to show
their heads.
We see BriOe and Morgan clsmoring
for more protection on iron and coal.
Smith and Mcpherson Of New York
think it their bounden duty to ask that
the tariff be retained on manufactured
woolen goods, while poor Murphy of
New York is content to have collars and
cuffs protected. Vest wants lead and
zinc protected. Daniels Of Virginia and
Harris Of Tennessee want peanuts left
on the dutlRble list. White of Califor-
MIA thinks his only mission ia to keep @
high tariff on all kinds of fruit. White
OF Louisiana was q great champion of
the sugar bounty. CHe received $4,000
for bounty, but this could not have any
thing to do with his appeals for q
bounty. (McKinley didA't have the gall
to put duty on sugar, but we gee Voor-
hees and half q dozen other senators
trucking to the demands Of the Ha.
Vsrmeyer OxnRrd sugar trust. The
whisky trust ask for an extension on
what it owed the government from five
to eight years and Of course it had to be
granted. Hill rails out against tariff
reform on account of the income tax.
(His income is $4,000, but Of course
this has nothing to do with his objection
to an income taxi And last but not least
German and Gibson go their brother re-
formers one better and declare they are
nfAvcr Of retaining the Mckinley bill

Church and Politics.


cburchD "a receiving from Populist
apeskers and newspapers. Churches are
characterized as bands OF thieves and
P,,bbsrs. Ministers are called pulpit
mountebsnkS and the most abusive epi-
theta that find their way into Popullst
speeches are most heartily spplsudsd
II these utterRncss are to be believed,
the church is utterly corrupt and ought
to be swept from the face OF the earth.
Notwithstanding the fact that outside
the larger towns and cities, the churches
are invariably poor, they are charged
with turning the cold shoulder to the
Door, and by their action saying, 1.-The
poor are not wanted"
Another fact is entirely ignored: A
msiority Of church members is COM
posed Of women, and minors, destitute
alike OF political privileges and duties.
Still another is, that a great many
church members are active reformers.
And yet not the slightest credit is given
the church for its reform activities.
There can be no question but that the
church is capable Of exercising q mighty
power for righteousness and that always
means reform. The teachings Of the
gospel, love and loyalty to God, and good
will to men, are the corner-stones OF the
church, as we'll as Of all reform; and the
man who has these principles imbedded
in his character needs only to have his
perceptive faculties quickened and broad
ensd, and at the same time guided and
controlled by his religious principles,
and fiEst-class reformer 10 evolved.
Populist reformsrs outside the church
do not seem to understand that the
church is vast reservoir Of the very
best reform material, that with little
patience and judicious treatment may
be drawn into affiliation with political
reformers. The average church member
Ia quiet, modest, retiring person. He
has NO political aspirations. His relig'
ious principles find daily application in
his intercourse with his family, neigh
borv, and bis business associates. He
remembers that Christ said; "My king
dom is not of this world; else would my
servants fight" And so, as q rule, he
keeps out OF political strife. Apply
abusive epithets to him and his church,
and the probabilities are that instead Of
an ally you might have won, you have
aroused spirit of obstinate resistance
that renders the mind impervious TO ell
convincing argument. That Is human
nature, and the best Christian living has
plenty OF 1t.
The teachings Of Christ were mainly
directed to the correcting and reforming
OF private individual life and conduct.
About the only duties of citizenship
were submission or obedience, and tte
payment of taxes; and 30 the duties OF
the citizen have been left to be evolved
out Of the ever changing conditions Of
life, under the guidance and by the sp'
plication of the principles Of righteous.
nees. Following this line religious
teachers have naturally given undue at
tention to esoteric instruction to the
neglect Of exoteric duties Of the citizen.
And il he attempts to 60 over this neg.
lected ground and take up the neglected
work, he finds limitations beyond which
be may not pass with safety to himself

He Escaped.

"Scotty Smith" is the nickname of .
man living in southern Africa whose
adventures and escapades would fill q
volume. As "veldt" man he is un-
surpassed. In "GHn and Camera in
Southern Africa" the author gives an
account of one of his many escapes.
During the troubles in 1883, think,
he was surprised and captured by the
marauding Beers and taken to their
headquarters at Roof Grond, near
Mafeking. He was condemned to be
shot on the following day and was
fastened with ropes inside a hut at
some distance from the campfire.
During the night he slipped his
bonds, crept to the place where the
Boer horses were stabbed, saddled and
bridled two of the best of them and
made his escape from under the very
noses of the Dutchmen.
A day or two afterward he MT .
Boer, who was personally unacquaint-
ed with him. who informed him that
he was looking for "Scotty Smith"
SWELL" said Scotty in Dutch, I'm
looking for Scotty Smith, too; We'll go
together"
They rode together for some hours
and then Scotty found an opportunity,
slipped his man and betook himself to
q safer part of the country.

Der Omcicr.

4, As he walked with quick step and
erect carriage down the street in his
bright new uniform with his sword
suspended from his white belt dang
ling at his heels, occasionally raising
his white-gloved hand in salute, he
was conspicuous figure. His coronet
had seven points and he had the bear
ing of one conscious that sixteen an
cestors stand behind him. HI was
their representative and it devolved
upon him to sustain their dignity. For
months he had lived the life Of a gay
young officer amid the diversions Of
the capital. Now he was in trouble.
He had gambled and lost every thing.
Creditors were harassing him and the
woman he loved showed favor to q
rival.
What was he to do? There was but
one course consistent with honor. He
must suffer iudignity and humiliation.
He must die. The family credit de-
manded it. 3sf
Going 10 his room he shot himself.
But death did not come instantly.
While lingering between life and death
neither the grief of his sister, who lost
in him her only near relative, nor the
anguish of his repentant lady could
make him regret his deed. He had
vindicated the family name and saved
his honor. He died happy.--Kate

What Goes to Make PAPER.

Paper can be made out of almost
anything that can be pounded to pulp.
Over fifty kinds of bark are employed.
while old sacking or bagginy makes ..
good article. Paper is made out of
banana skins, from bean stalks, pea
vines, cocoanut fiber, clover and timo-
thy hay, straw, fresh-water weeds, sea
weeds and more than 100 different
kinds of grass. Paper has been made
from hair, fur and wool, from asbestos,
which furnishes an article indestructi-
BILE by fire; from hop plants, from
husks of any and every kind of grain.
Leaves make good, strong paper,
while the husks and stems of Indian
corn have also been tried, and almost
every kind of moss can be made into
paper. There are patents for making
paper from sawdust and shavings, from
thistles and thistledown, from tobacco
stalks and tan bark. 1t is said that
there are over 1000 patents in this
country covering the manufacture of
paper. No matter what the substance.
the process is substantially the same;
the material is ground to a pulp, then
spread thinly over frame and allowed
to dry, the subsequent treatment de-
pending on the kind of paper to be
made.

Two women were talking so earnest
" on West Randolph street car day
or two ago says the Chicago Tribune,
that one of them was carried by her
@getting-off place." When she dis.
covered this she was greatly discon-
certed and frantically demanded by
word and gesture that the conductor
stop the car. This was promptly done
and the woman seized child lying
close by her and rushed out.
Scarcely block further along an.
other woman, who had been gossiping
with an acquaintance, suddenly sprang
to her feet and selling the conductor
began shaking him vigorously.
"Where's my baby,you wretch? Give
it back to me-" she cried.
/ II haven't got it," replied the con-
ductor, surlily, as he let his eyes run
over his person, seemingly uncertain
whether the little one might be hidden
somewhere in his clothing.
Every passenger became at once in
terested and all readily yielded to an
urgent request of an old lady that all
stand up, while she. falling upon her
hands and knees, proceeded to search
diligently beneath the seats for the
missing one.
"This one couldn't be yours, eh,
MADAME" inquired a grave.looking old
gentleman as he pointed to a babe
quietly asleep and which no one seemed
to claim.

woman; "mine is fair and this is dark. ="

Un7leasantly Funny.

The N. Y. Tribune relates an adven-
ture which lately befell young anna
teur ventriloquist and magician OF
that city. He is very clever and auda-
cious and naturally his company IS
much sought after among the people
of his own set. One day he received q
note from a friend, lady, begging
him to come to her house the next
evening. The children were to have
party and it would be great favor it
he would come over and entertain
them. ......,t
On his way uptown the next after
noon, therefore. he bought mask OF
a hug donkey's head, the big jaw OF
which was so arranged that the pulling
of 4 string caused it to utter lifeliko
and horrible bray. <.,.~-
That evening an hour or so after the
time appointed he went to the house,
threw off his overcoat in the hall and
ran upstairs, putting on his mask as
no went. Through the eyeholes he
could see dimly that good many peo-
pie were assembled in the room at the
head of the stairway.
With terrific hee-haw he threw
himself on his hands and knees and
burst into the room. An unexpected
hush and sound of startled exclama-
tions sent a chill to his bones. Some
thing was wrong. He pulled off the
mask and scrambled to his feet.
Horror. of horrors! He was sur
rounded by entire strangers, who nat
urally looked upon him as if he had
taken leave: of his senses. A litter
ran around the room and a pretty
young woman, evidently the mistress
Of the house, stepped forward to re-
ceivo the intruder's apologies.
The explanation was simple. He
had mistaken the house, which was
one of a block all alike. The servant
who had let him in took it for granted
that he was an invited guest-and
there he was! ~ r
He made hasty exit with sound
of suppressed laughter in his ears and
though he went to the house whore he
was expected he had no heart to put
on again the donkey mask. -

Two Lincoln Stories.

Senator and Secretary Seward-or.
rs his friends generally called him,
"the Governor"-like all good citizens,
went home to vote. and the night be-
fore election made it a rule to have q
familiar talk with his neighbors. !"
The familiar talk was always careful
ly prepared and instructive speech
at least his own party thought So
which appeared in the papers all over
the country the next morning. Dur
ing the war he usually travelled in a
private cal, often with no company but
his colored servant. Once he invited
the pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church in Auburn, the Rev. DR.. Haw-
ley, and three venerable elders of the
same church to return to Washington
with him as his guests as we'll as en-
route. One of the first things to en-
terrain bis friends was, of course, to
take them to see the President. He in
troduced them in his formal way, not
emitting in either case the title and
the denomination to which he belonged.
That reminded" Mr.. Lincoln, and he
said:
"When I was a young man living in
- little town in the State of Hi.
nois, there was but one church in the
town, and that was Presbyterian.
There were few Universities in the
town, who once in while held meet
ing in a schoolhouse. One Sabbath
during the service in the church some
one came up the aisle and handed the
pastor notice, and quickly retired.
While the hymn was being sung the
minister looked at the notice. He had
never been asked to give such notice
before; but by the time the long hymn
was ended he was ready. He got up
and said: Brethren and sisters, have
been requested to give notice here to-
day that set of people who believe
in universal salvation will hold meet
ing next Lords Day in the red school.
house in the northeast district. But,
brethren, we believe better things!'"
DR.. Hawley told me the story at the
time,and have never seen it in print.
Mr.. Seward was an Episcopalian, and
this story is told: On one Of the &C.
casions when President Lincoln's'
patience was tried by self-appointed
adviser who got warm and used strong
language, Mr.. Lincoln interrupted him
by saying, "You are an Episcopaliau.
aren't your" and when asked why he
thought SO, said: "You swear just
like Seward, and he is" That was Mr..
Lincoln's way of getting rid of such
advisers.-Sprtngfeld Republican.
