In estimating character do not get
cause and effect COMPOUNDED. Character
is not what a man does. 1t is what
man is. Character is not the fruit Ii
IS the tree. The fruit is an incident, or
If you prefer. natural result
BY way OF illustration let US examine
some Of those ingredients which go 10
make up wel4-rounded character. First
as TO honesty. Honesty is not negative
thing. A man may abstain from dishonest
practices for many reasons. none CT which
are honest. He may be deferred by fear
OF the law; 10y fear OF society; by fear
Of hurting his credit. The old saw that
honesty Is the best policy is not only
bad morals, but a positive contradiction
In terms. Honesty has no commerce with
policy. II seeks no reward. II has been
said that honor will not buy break
fast" OF course not. 1t does not choose
to- II ceases to be honor when it trafiics
IN commodities. mans acts do not
make him honest.
Then as to courage. Courage is not
Of acts. a man may on occasions appear
to act courageously and yet be a coward.
towards have been known TO fight duels.
They were afraid not to. mans acts
do not make him courageous.
Then as to Democracy, for may we not
say that Democracy is a necessary ele-
ment in a well-rounded character? We
think so. Democracy does not consist in
acts. Democracy does not consist in vot-
ing for the party nominee Seine
times. indeed, it is Democracy not
TO vote the party ticket Democra-
cy Is principle, not party policy
1t by no means follows that al
who profess and call themselves Demo
Gratis have the spirit of true Democracy.
no more than Il follows that all who pro-
fess and call themselves Christians have
the spirit of Christianity.
And so We might speak CT virtue end
benevolence. and all other qualities which
make character. But let US not weary
you with illustrations.
Finally If layman may be permitted
TO say a word about religion, we remark
OF religion also that 1t is not CT acts. II
Is Characteristic highest development OF
character-which is Christian character.
Religion is not simply doing certain things
which one ought to do. and leaving un-
done certain other things which one
ought not 10 do. 1t IS not in going 10
church, nor in long prayers. nor even
in giving aims. nor abstaining from
theatre-going from dancing. and from
card-playing. That may be simply phara-
saism.
Nor is that religion which conforms TO
certain rules and responds 10 certain
requirements of the church with the
nromise of mansion in the skies. That
is speculation.
Religion is not moved by selfish consid-
Grafton. II does right for the sake OF
right for the love Of God and humanity
The reward is a consequence. not motive
, mans acts do not make him Chris
tan.

ties directly concerned. They insist that

OF Venezuela's guardian. ard they as

we are 70 be guardian for Venczula we
4 must be for all the other southern Re
publics. The Pall-Mali Gazette Is de-
| lighted that this status has been estab-
nshed. for. II says. in that state OF the
case. disputes between these turbulent
communities and outsiders are less Ia
bio to occur than heretofore now that
the principle OF dealing directly with the
little Republics is set aside in favor OF
negotiations with this powerful protec-
tor"
Now. this may be. and no doubt Is,
very gratifying to the people OF Great
Britain, because when one OF these DIS
orderly communities kicks up Its heels
in defiance OF all order and decency. they
have an entirely responsible party to re-
sort TO for redress.
But how does that view OF the case
suit the American people? III we are
going to be guardian for these States
and stand between them and any correc-
ton which n European power may be
forced TO apply TO them. then We must
be responsible for their dclinquinces.
There can be no two opinions about this.
II we assume the role OF protector. we
must bear the responsibilities OF the
wards conduct.
Now. for one, The Times protests
against the part which has been assign
ed TO this country. We are perfectly
willing TO stand upon Mr.. Monroes prop
osition that this country will not tolerate
any combination OF arbitrary European
sovereigns setting foot upon one single
inch of American territory for the pur-
pose of overthrowing Republican insti-
buttons and establishing aulocratic in
situations In their place. We will &C
cept any responsibility whatever in re-
sisting any such move as that. But
We do protest that Mr.. Monroe and his
associates never contemplated our fight
ing the battles of the South American
states and answering for their de-
nnquences when they offended other
powers.
If this is the outcome OF the Venezu-
elan business it is bad affair indeed.
and we predict that it will be repudiat-
ed by the American people sooner or
later.

black districts. where the negroes voted
almost TO man for Mckinley, there
were Republican losses of s.l16.' The
Times states It's deductions from the
facts la hand as follows:
There are two conclusions that are
Inevitable from these figures Tho one
is that many Sound Money Democrats
took Candidate Bryan's advice and voted
straight for Mckinley. the other that
the Democratic Losses in the white coun-
ties were Offset by manipulating the
ballot-box In the black districts"

turns made. This surplus must have been
obtained from the negro vote. which
greatly aided and could not have alarmed
