A DREARY LIFE.

After all his thought, his philosophy,
his scientific research and his learning
generally the life Of Prof. Huxley must
have been dreary one at best. Without
any hope for the future the feeling that q
comparatively barren existence OF a few
years here upon earth would drive the
best of men mad upon contemplation.
Here is what is engraved upon the
tomb Of the scientist, no doubt either sug-
gested or written BY himself:
and If there be no meeting past the

If all is darkness. silence, yet It's rest
!. Be not afraid, ye waiting hearts that
weep!
For God still giveth his beloved sleep,
And If an endless sleep He wills, 50 best. 3

SANITY QUAY

There is nothing succeeds like success
1T is not SO long ago when the Republi-
cans, or at least the better class of them,
were abusing Matt Quay Of Pennsy lVania,
for bis corrupt political methods, but now
since he has downed the regular Republi-
can machine in that state and set up ma
chine OF his own, which is likely to be
stronger that the other one, the late abuse
Of Quay is forgotten and those who are al
ways waiting to bow down to the success
full man are singing in union "Hail to the
Chief" Correspondents leave Washing
ton or quit Their summer resorts by the
sea side and penetrate into the interior
Of Pennsylvania to Quay's home to pick
up all the gossip social, political and
prophetical about the great man. Per-
haps Quay is great but he is no greater
now in success than he was q short time
ago n defeat.
e Quay is now talking purity in politics
an imitation Of Satan rebuking sin-and
his heart is bowed down with weight Of
woe because people will persist in MAX
ing use of money to secure their political
ends. He wants everything and every
body pure the legislatures, the municipal
councils, the primaries and elections and
he wants the civil service placed upon
such a footing that the public officers will
not be enslaved so that they can attend
to business for which they have been Sc
lected. The enslavement portion must
mean the freedom from assessment for POI
Etical purposes.
1t would be tedious to follow Mr.. Quay
in the enumeration Of all his good inten-
lions. Heis after something, a number Of
things in fact, and when these are secured
Mr.. Quay will have time to reflect and sd
will other people. One Of the things he
wants is the Craftsmanship Of the Republic
can national committee and there can be
noldoubt that he is the man for the place,
upon the principle that it takes a thief
to catch a:thief.
But Mr.. Quay becomes too virtuous all
at once. His conversion snlacks too much
Of the Salvation Army methods He
should lead up to the throne Of grace by
degrees unless, Of course, he sees great
light and his conversion is sudden like
that of Paul.

THE LOVELY TURK.

What lonely specimen of humanity is
the Turk. He chops off the heads of those
who don't agree with him IN politics or
religion, steals the property Of the victims
and hands it over to his own friends.
Then when he finds the outside world de-
nouncing his methods he offers the rela-
tiYes of those whose heads he chopped off,
dollar apiece In remuneration, asking at
the same time receipt in full for all
damages as well as a certificate that the
soldiers of the sultan did them no harm
but that itwasls.mply a little row which
couldn't be prevented and that somehow
the Armenian Christians got the worst
of it.
Eight months ago sum of $4,000 was
raised by the Turkish government to aid
those whose relatives had been despoiled
and brutality butchered but up to the
present time only about $4,000 has been
distributed and most of that went to pay
those who distributed It, so that the small
sum originally offered was not even paid.
Some, however, received the merest pit
lance. When money came in from the
outside world the Turks would not allow
it to be distributed, saying, IT these peo-
pie will not accept our aid why should we
allow others to come in and help them?"'.
What .s stated here is mere hint Of
the atrocities that are still practiced upon
the defanseless Armenians The civiliz-
ed world has stood these barbarities long
enough. The Turk should go.

THE KIND WANTED.

It has been feared that the coming con
vention Of Irishmen in Chicago might
gather together men who are firebraAds
or whose actions Or utterances would be
injurious to the cause. AS a warning on
this head the Irish Republic Of a recent
date says:
The men wanted at the coming con-
vention are those who have at heart the
complete independence of Ireland, and
that object alone. We do not want men
there who have dirty linen to wash; we
do not want the individual with an old
sore to expose; we do not want the man
with grievance of some years stand
ing; we do not want the gentleman who
calculates ON the necessary horsepower
of Irish votes to lift him into position;
we do not want the crank nor the blath-
erskite: we do not want the warriors
who annihilate the British forces over a
barroom counter, and incidentally break
the Dutchnan's glasses in the fervor of
their enthusiasm; we do not want the
wild-eyed delegate of some little dyspep-
tic faction; we do not want men who
think that they alone are the brain car
riers Of the Irish race; we do not want
frauds and thumbugs; but we do want
every level headed, sincere, intelligent
freshman, let him be rich or, poor, who
believes in the right Of Ireland to separ-
alton from England and complete ma
tional independence, and who is willing
to do what his circumstances will permit
to achieve that right. Ireland, and Ire
land alone must be the subject Of con-
sideration at this conventions Ireland s
right to freedom, and the best means to
be adopted whereby it can be secured.
Come, then every man with level head
and an honest heart and make this gath
ering something our race can be proud Of.

JUDGES AND LAWYERS.

Justice Brewer Of the United States
supreme court, says we have twice as
many lawyers as we want and Joseph A.
Choate says we have twice as many
Judges as we need. Both men are undoubt-
eddy correct. We have more judges in
one state Of the union than there are In
England and this is not by any means
justified by the population. And as to
lawyers--well, there are men who are
good, bad and Indifferent in all the call
ings in life, but some men who are sup
posed to be lawyers but who are not make
a business of creating litigation for the
benefit of themselves and Others Of the
same class. There are men practising law
in the large cities like Chicago, for In
stance, VINO care nothing for the honor Of
the profession but on the contrary are
continually belttling it by their disgrace
full methods. They sheer at honesty and
integrity and look upon man as fool
who gives such principles the slightest
heed. Every form Of accident that occurs
these shyster lawyers fly like vultures to
the injured one and IL the intention has
not already been formed to bring an ac-
ton for damages they will ase all their
persuasion powers to have proceedings
begun, trusting in large number Of cases
for their fees upon the success they may
make in the suit. And it happens, too,
that when damages are obtained the In
jured one may have to bring suit against
the lawyer in order that he be compelled
to pay over the sum received, providing
his fees have not eaten UP thu whole
amount, which is far from being an un-
common occurrence. Sometimes, indeed,
a whole estate has been absorbed by the
lawyers and not satisfied with that they
have sent in bill for additional compen-
sation.
Reputable lawyers are not responsible
for the dubious ways and shortcomings
Of their so-called brethren in the prbfes-
sion and time and again efforts have been
made to weed out the unworthy ones, but
the task is difficult one. There is ten
dency throughout the different states to
raise the standard Of admission to 'prac-
tice SO that man cannot be admitted to
the bar upon the following question and
answer: I'm what direction does the
Mississippi fow?" and the answer being
that 1t flows down, OF course. At one time
in Illinois that question and answer was
the standing curriculum for admission
to the, bar. It is only a. few years
ago that in the state Of Wisconsin the only
question asked in some districts at least
was: How do you commence suit?"
and the candidate being coached perhaps
in advance, answered t'By a summons, <
when the court felt satisfied and called
out, Admit him, Mr.: Clerk.

The Tribune, Of this city, in trying to
educate the people to gold standard,
says: There was time, long ages ago,
when among pastoral tribes oxen were
used as money and the first coin was
stamped with picture of an OK and called
'peccus' from which we get our word pc
cuniary.'" 1t is only trifie, Of course,
but teacher, particularly a teacher In
such an important matter as money,
should be exact. We do not get our word
money from pecus (not peccus, as the
Tribune has it) but from the word pc
cunia, the Latin for money. OF course,
the word pecuina was derived from pecus
which was the name for cattle, not oxen,
particularly as the Tribune again has it.
The coin bearing the word cattle" rep
resented cattle and was much more con-
yenient IN the matter of exchange than
the cattle themselves, but when the cattle
were 'demonetized" and ceased to pass
as money It is not thought that the mon
etary cranks Of those days denounced the
crime Of demonstration. as the Tribune
suggests. because the cattle still existed
and were tangible and useful property.
