Wendell Philiips' Cutting Retort.

DIR. Furness, of Philadelphia, tells a
characteristic story about Wendell
Phillips Several clergymen," he says,
boarded street car in Boston one
day, and one of them, hearing il init
mated that Wendell Phillips was in the
car, got up and asked the conductor TO
point him out. The conductor did so,
and the minister, going up to the ora
tor, said: You are Mr.. Phillips, I am
told Yes, sir. Il should like to speak
to you about something, and / trust,
sir, you will not be offended There
is no fear of it, was the sturdy answer,
and then the minister began to ask Mr..
Phillips earnestly why he persisted in
stirring up such an unfriendly agitation
in one part of the country about an evil
that existed in another part. why,
said the clergyman, do you not go
south and kick up this fuss and leave
the north in peace?' Mr.. Phillips wss
not the least ruffled, and answered,
smilingly: You, sir, presume, are a
minister of the Gospel?' L am, sir,
said the clergyman. And your calling
is TO save souls from help Exactly,
sir We'll, then, why don't you go
there?' Lilies Calendar.

SPECIAL Washington Letter.l

The Fifty-first congress was the tar
get for abuse and vilification of all ex-
iremist editorial writers in the demo-
cratic party; and the Fifty-third con-
g~ess, which has recently adjourned,
has been the target for the criticism and
denunciation of all extremist repub-
lican editorial writers. While great
men are exerting leadership in the evo-
luton OF great events, IL is practically
impossible for men TO write the truths
of history; and 1t is only after individu-
ais and congresses are dead that the
truths can be ascertained and pub
hshed concerning them. During the
past two years, and particularly during
the last ten months, the ajority party
of the Fifty-third congress has been
the subject of great deal of raillery,

During recent years there have been
no drunken scenes in the capitol, either
In the senate or house of representa-

debate was closed during the early
days of the Fifty-third congress by
senator who has lived over from the
past generation; and his voice was verv

cause he had palpably dallied too long
with the demon that destroys. Our
fathers and grandfathers lived in an
age when drunkenness was as normal

common at the capitol, and they were
not considered disgraceful; but were

glad to know that their aggregate eff
forts have been producing notable re-
suits. We cannot see, in our several
communities, that people are growing
much better. But the men who are
sent to congress are fairly representa-
tive of the people: and the fact that
their moral tone IS wonderfully ele-
waited is strongly manifestation of the
fact that the sentiment of the country
concerning morality and superior char
acter is potential and elcvating. When
statesmen drank, fought duel>, gam
bled and were publicly maudlin, they
were representative of the people; for
If the general moral tone of the country
had been otherwise the statesmen would
not have dared to defy public opinion.
Then, as now, the public men courted
popular favor. Then drunkenness and
gambling were not unpopular with the
people. our statesmen are better to-
day because our people are better.
