LIES IN SOCIAL LIFE.

From the New York World.
Are we hypocrites all, or are we I'M
selfish souls who prefer TO sacrifice the
truth and ourselves rather than wound
our fellow-beings?i is the problem which
Mrs. Lynn Linton discusses in a recent
English periodical. Is it a lie to say
mot at home" and are the women who
instruct their maids to say it engaged
in the nefarious business of running i'm
mortal souls? Is it sin or merely a
kindness to assure the forgotten stran-
ger that one remembers her well, and
to tell the would-be hostess of regrets
and previous engagements that have no
existence?
Mrs. Linton wisely refrains from an
swering these questions, and goes on
instead to others. She wishes to know
if the doctor is justified who does not
tell the patient the seriousness and
hopelessness of his state. And on that
question she reaches decision, doubt
less to the relief of physicians and their
charges everywhere.
THE permitted perjury of smooth
sayings by medical men," she says, ''is
also one of the things we must accept
and allow for in our code of relative
virtues. Friends and caretakers, and
those dependent on that ebbing life,
may know the truth; but the patients
self must be guarded from knowledge
that can do no good, and may do in
calculable harm. This does not apply
to those robuster and more virile souls
who desire above all things to know
exactly where they stand. To them the
truth pure and simple. 1t is what they
wish, what they deserve and what they
are fit for. But these are the excep-
lions and the tender are the rule"
About the perjury of the sponsors
vows at baptisrns, and especially the
bitter dishonesty Of marriage VOWS,
she speaks scathingly. The world
knows how things stand" she says,
but the perjury is among those per-
mitted by the exigencies of society
which fears nothing SO much as the
truth-which VII pay in soul and body
for what it conceals by lies and wraps
up in cloudy pretenses-"
The conclusion which she finally
reaches is one which is worldly-wiss
enough, at any rate.
ut is all tangle," is the wise wo-
mans verdict, and no human skill can
reel the knotted thread straight and
smooth. The absolute truth would be-
impossible. and viii DE so long as human
nature is as it is We must have verbal
symbols which are to be taken ale
gorically and not literally; and we can
live that single-folded life which IS the
dream of all the naturally honest and
sincere. We have to hedge. and deal
as faithfully as may be with our higher
spirations-checked as they are at
every turn by the baser requirements
of practical life In deed and n truth
it is all tangle, But we must do the
best we can, and the smaller the corner
of that tract Of permitted perjuries we
cultivate the better for Us here and tina
more hopeful for the hereafter

torious serpent glided from its tree,
moved rapidly several times around the
crushed body of its ifeless foe with

deadly duel had been fought, and she

that she was pleased with the result

winner of her favor and disappeared

WIS IT Boss AMBITION.

The laboring men of this country may
moi know it, but there are people who
have strong reasons for believing that
the late strike with all its attendant
horrors and cost, was a fight between
labor leaders for supremacy. Some of
these leaders during the tendency of
the troubles abused others in the
toughest language. There are many
labor organizations, each with its head
men. These head men, called presi-
dents, vice presidents, chiefs, secre-
taries, ETC., all draw good salaries rang
ing from FIVE to fifteen dollar per day.
Debs receives about ten dollars
per day. For some time these
pampered heads have shown a jealousy
of each other and of the power of their
organizations, respectively. POwderly.

TOPEKA RECEIVFRSHIPs.

A motion was made, on Monday, in a
Topeka court to place one of the
churches of that city in the hands of a
receiver. The judge refused to grant
the petition giving as an excuse that he
wasn't sufficiently posted on religion to
run a church in such way as TO make
expenses. Thus religiously incompe-
tent but honest judge exposes the peace
full, moral and religious degradation of
a town where joints are SO popular as
to warrant a prominent preacher in
opening out his Sunday morning sermon
with a bottle of beer on each side of his
Bible, an incident actually occurring
some two or three Sabbaths ago. Fe-
male suffrage scraps, ungodly judges
and Pop administration viii yet prove
the death of that ambitious village of
joints and churches.

and nepotism. Hog is the only ap-
plicable term for the great majority OF
the fellows holding county offices at the
hands of the Pops. As demagogues,
having manipulated themselves into
position. they are on the sale. trade and
dicker continually, and only in the inter
est of their own pockets. We have heard
of no contract yet let by any of them any
where in which there was not a per
cent dizzy reserved for the officers letting
the same. As for the state administra-
ii n, the Topeka. Kansas, Breeze. non
partizan paper calls the following roll,
the truth OF which 70 man can deny, for
they are all matters of public record and
notoriety:
So far as the reputation of the state
administration is concerned, 1t has sut-
fered some rude shocks during the tlttul
fever Of life. The chief scribe and keep
er of the seal has been convicted OF
libel. The former chiel of the land
and naval forces of the state con-
victed of raising a voucher and alb
stractng an overcoat from the military
stores. The soft voiced keeper OF the
home for aged veterans let out for buy
ing rotten meat. The superintendent OF
the reform school saved from open dis
grace by the liberal use of whitewash.
The superintendent of the insane asylum
kicked out of the auditors Office. TIE
warden of the penitentiary accused of all
sorts of Irregularities; the accusation
made by Populist senator that the
gamblers, thugs and lottery men are in
close and confidential relations with the
executive, all these things would throw
cloud over the present administration
were it not for its continual assertion of
its own purity.

WILL FUSE ON JERRY,

If you want 10 catch Pop, trap a
Democrat. They are all parts of one
and the same animal in Kansas, if a tail
can be considered a part of the animal
a long slick prehensile tail, without hair,
honesty or other adjoining covering. The
Democrats made great show of nomi-
mating a state ticket, but every Demo
cratic paper in the state would as soon
think OF committing harikaii as to crit
icise Lewelling. The Democratic bosses
including the makeup OF their central
committee, are for fusion. Jerry Simp-
son, now an aristocratic invalid at Berk-
ley Springs, a pleasure resort in the
mountains of West Virginia, will get
we'll suddenly in the near future, and
the Goth Of this month will find him in
Wichita for a denomination. He will
be renominated and every Democrat
in this section will vote for him, ali his
fiat money, sub-treasury schemes and
ideas TO the contrary Notwithstanding.
Jerry will talk ''tariff reform" only to
the Democrats, but he will vote against
the anil-OptIOn OH anu Tue Car coupling
bill and against all other bills that the
fellows with lots of money do not want.
Jerry is slick, of course, but it doesn't
require particularly slick man to ma
nipulate the plant bosses of Kansas
Democracy, and as these bosses point so
the mossback crowd goes. The bosses
lave the Federal offices and wanting a
divide in the close counties they are for
anybody who can help them. They will
all be for the transplanted Canadian,
Jerry Simpson, whose fame came of his
feet rather than Of his head.
