WE AND OUR NEIGHBORS

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Since the war of the rebellion there
has been nothing to make men melo-
dramatically heroic and it does look as
il these times were worse than those
twenty-five or thirty years ago. But we
are too near to judge. Small things
look large and large things are blurred.
Nothing exactly like America has ever
been tried before, nor that for SO very
long. but "all history teaches" that if
this experiment fail something better
will take its place. / mean all history
from the first beast -man-that could be
called a man to the present, teaches that
we are marching upward. AS bad as
France is today it is better than pre-
revolutionary France. English politics
were never SO free from corruption as
today. There was time in the Fiji
teenth century when the Catholic
church had Alexander vi for its spirit
ual head. How impossible such pope
would be today. The Catholic church
is the most conservative and self-satis-
fed Of any religious or civil organization
that know Of. or course all churches
have complacent air. Otherwise con-
verts might be fewer. But Luther dis
couraged reform inside the Catholic
church. The professionals by rebelling.
increased the rigidity of the church
which has remained practically the same
from that day to this. Luther was only
one OF a number Of churchmen Sho
we're attempting at that time to reform
the church from the inside. His entire
withdrawal stopped reform.
In the last ten years the priests and
bishops of this church have begun an
aggressive crusade against intemperance.
Devoted but isolated Catholic leaders
have preached and practised self-denial
before but never with such unanimity
and vigor has the church in Italy, France
Germany and the United STATES taken
hold of purely moral question. The
times are medicinal or they could not
effect body still under the lethargic in
fiuence Of the draught held to its lips by
the Middle Ages.
Politics in the United States are in a
bad way. Municipal city government
has been tester in all the cities of the
country excepting in those inland New
England towns in which the population
and the church membership list coiu-
cided. City councils are a little more
careful to cover up evidences of corrupt
ion than they were twenty years
ago. They feel that the large stupid but
exacting eye of the public is upon them.
They do not commit the robberies they
used to. not because they are better,
but because they are watched. There
are sturdy men in the United States and
in the house Of representatives. 1t is
scarcely fair to quote Daniel Webster,
to show the degeneracy of those who
succeeded him. You might as well
scorn all literature that preceded or
came after Shakespeare. These God-men
are hors du concours. They prove
nothing except that once in three hun
dred years or so God himself makes a
man and breathes genius into him.
Leaving out Webster, the men of the
the day will match any name in your
good old days" list. Conkllng, John
Sherman, Grant, Tilden, Whitney,
Evarts, Lodge, Cleveland, Plumb Of
Kansas and our own W. j. Bryan are

PEOPLE CANNOT BE FOOLED

The Republicans are gaining little
headway with the fee homes issue
against Mr.. Calahs1. In fact, a reac-
tion has begun in)Mr. Callahan's favor
and nothing can now stay the tide OF
popular favor. Since there is no
division OF sentiment among parties
on the question Of free homes, it is
therefore not an issue, and sensible
Republicans now admit that Mr.. Flynn
is tereft of a platform, save that built
by himself and embodied in his own
record. These sensible Republicans,
naturally enough. win vote for Flynn,
but at the time they will examine Tia c
parachute trappings and arrange for a
soft spot where Mr.. Flynn can grace
fully alight on November without
jarriug his nerves too severely.
Mr. Callahan has made a vigorous
and creditable campaign. He has told
the truth in all his utterances and
gained the confidence of the people by
his straightforward and manly course.
On the other hand Mr., Flynn has re-
sorted to attacks on his oppon ent and
has refused to discuss with that oppo-
nent the paramount, in fact the only
issue Of the campsign-the free silver
issue. There Is no other issue before
the people but that of the money
question, and IL is folly for the Repub-
licans managers to attempt TO fquirm
out OF a discussion In the legislative
campaign, there are many issues az
fectng the permanency and honor of

NERVOUS MANAGERS.

The Kansas City World discusses at
length the certainty Of Organs cleo
ton and among other things says:
The Republican managers in New
York have been again thrown into a
cold sweat in connection with the
situation in Ohio by some information
they have received in an unexpected
manner. A New York firm, one OF
them Republican and the other a
Democrat, wanting some information
OF a business kind from Ohio, wrote
to a firm in that state, one of whom is
a Republican and the other former
Democrat and besides the specific in
formation sought received some OF n
more general character
"All the circumstances joined to inn

tion with its reliability. and it was

managers are seriously disturbed by
the character OF MIR. Foraker's cam

DISASTER IN A MINE.
Two Men Killed and one Fatally Hurt in
Pennsylvania.


Pottsville, Pa, Nov. 3.-An accident
resulting from singular cause cost the
lives of two men and the fatal injury of
n third at Packer colliery No. 2, at Gil
rardville Monday afternoon. Thomas
Welsh, of Lost Creek; John Halran, of
Gilberton; Joseph Staum, of Lost Creek,
and Michael Mack were at work in the
mine Monday afternoon. Welsh had
been engaged in what is known as "reb-
bing pillars" He had driven hole in
the face of the breast, in which he put
the blast. He applied match to the
squib and fastened away for place of
shelter. He had gone but a few feet
when large lump of coal rolled onto
his foot, pinning him fast to the
ground. Momentarily expecting the
explosion of the blast. he cried for help.
The other three men were working
near, and disregarding the danger to
themselves they ran to Welsh's rescue.
They had scarcely reached him when
the blast exploded, bringing down with
it mass of coal upon the men. Halran
and Staum were crushed to death and
Welsh fatally injured, while Mack was
fortunate in escaping with slight in
