What's the use of raking up the record
Of a public man to show what opinions
he held on the silver question, or the
federal interference question, or the tariff
or other questions dozen or fifteen years
ago? The matter for consideration is,
what is public mans opinions on cur
rent issues now, and is he honest in enter
tanning them? Nobody but a cheerful idiot
expects a public man to stick to one view
of public question throughout his whole
life. The man who does that is not al
ways the honest man. There are men
who take pride in saying they never
change their opinions. They are simply
mossbacks. They may have doubts about
the correctness of their views, but they
will not endeavor to find out the truth,
because they have made up their minds
not to change them. Such men are not
wanted in public life. They can't render
the people good service. They are like
those doctors who never read and con-
tinue the old methods of treatment. Such
doctors kill more than they cure. So the
public men who never change their views
on public questions lead the people into
all sorts of errors.
No sooner does a prominent public man
utter some opinion different from that
he has been expressing on an important
matter than the small politician and the
opposition newspaper begin to tell the
people what that man said on the same
subject ten or twenty years before. The
fact that the conditions may be different
and new factors may have been injected
into the question outs no figure with these
record fiends. They think they have
doomed that man to defeat just as soon
as they make an apparent showing that
he has been inconsistent. AS a matter
of fact, however, they haven't done any
thing of the sort The great majority OF
the people don't care whether a politician
are intelligent and know that one party
would stay in power forever If men didn't
change their opinions-that popular gov
eminent wouldn't be possible. Satisfy
them that man who has changed his
opinions for good reasons and that
he is honest, and they will trust
him and respect him even If they
do not agree with him sooner than they
will the mossback who sticks to what
his father believed simply because his
father did believe it. The victims of the
record hunters are quite numerous, but
the honest ones among them don't appear
to be unhappy.

when short of Money.

A country schoolmistress, says the
Hartford Times, had much trouble with
her pupils, and to avoid it had her ex.
amples placed before them In an explain.
atory or illustrative character.
The effect was often unexpected. Or
one occasion, in going over their usual
reading lesson, a line was chosen by the
lady on which TO test the merits OF the
scholars.
The line read: And he was a man OF
unlimited credit in business"
Now, John, can you tell me what Is
meant by the word credit when used as
in this lesson?"
Thus she addressed one Of the stun.
bling blocks of the school.
II dunno, marm," said Johnny, looking
sheepish.
you don't know" said the mistress
well, listen. Surprising your mother
was to be short of money at the end OF
the week and needed provisions. now
what would she do?"
She was satisfied that her illustra ton
was plain, and awaited the answer, which
came thus:
well, marm," replied Johnny. 81
dunno what she would do, unless she
pawned dads Sunday coat, for she's
pawned everything else"
The subject was instantly dropped. and
the teacher now says she has lost faith
In that style of illustration.

sneeze-well, it was a big one, for a fact

and the way he raised his head when he
sneezed was bringing his chin right

some French Opinions.

According to Paris letters the idea is
wide spread in France that the spirit of
secession-or as they call 1t separatism-
is at the bottom of the silver campaign
that is in progress in this country. This
idea crops out frequently in the Paris pa
pers.
As a matter OF fact the average French
man is as ignorant of politics in this coun-
try, and of all matters pertaining to our
national elections as he is of the customs
and manners of the natives of the interior
Of Africa. This is not because Of any lack
of intelligence on the part of the people
OF France, but because they take COM
paratively little interest in anything that
is outside of France. and in which they are
not specially concerned. The happenings
in the streets of Paris are Of much more
consequence to them than the most stu
pendous events in this country Such be-
ing the case. it is rather remarkable that
the writer's Of their newspaper articles at
tempt to instruct the people as to the
meaning of political movements in the
United States.
The truth is there Is a deep seated jeal-
ousy OF the greatness and prosperity Of
the United States. not only in France. but
also in England and other European
countries. The growth Of the United States
in wealth and population makes them anx-
ious about the future-the attitude which
this great and growing country may as
sumo towards them. Nothing would give
them more satisfaction than to see the
great republic break up. and be divided
into a half dozen republics, and to set
about weakening one another by means Of
war.
There is no ground for fear Of any such
thing happening yet awhile, however The
patriotism Of the people is sufficient to
hold the country together. and Il is being
bound together more firmly all the time
! by bands Of steel and business interests.

Remains with the railroads,

The interview with Mr.. Marshall Stevens
of the Manchester Canal Company, which
we publish this morning, is of especial in
terest to the business community. Mr..
Stevens says the question of whether or
not this port shall have a direct, regular
line of steamships to Manchester rests
with the railroads. If they will cooper
ate, to the end Of securing grain freights,
the line can be established, upon a basis
similar to that upon which lines from
Galveston and New Orleans to Manches-
ter are operated. These latter lines are
now self-sustaining, and he thinks there
is no doubt that a Observation-Disclosures
line, with grain freights. would also soon
become self-sustaining. Mr.. Stevens rec
ognizes this as a convenient port for
shipments from interior points, and thinks
that with proper efforts on the part of
the railroads, large grain shipments
could be turned through Savannah.
His proposition is now before the bust
ness men and railroads. There is little
room for doubt that the business men
are willing to cooperate heartily with
| the Manchester people in the scheme.
What will the railroads do? Win they
say the word and give Savannah the de-
| sired steamship line?

The Palmer Ticket Vote.

! Sufficient time has not elapsed since the
| indianapolis convention to form an opin-
ion as to whether gold standard demo-
Gratis will very generally vote the Pal
mer and Buckner ticket. But whatever
! their purpose may be with regard to vot-
ing for the ticket it is certain that they
intend to make a very earnest and vigor-
Gus campaign in its behalf. Their cam
paign will not be confined to any partic-
ular part OF the country. 1t will include
every one of the states The understand
ing is that there will be no lack Of means
for campaign work, and some of the alb
lest speakers will be among those who VIII
advocate the Indianapolis platform and
candidates. But while the campaign will
be an enthusiastic one it is probable that
very many of those democrats who would
vote for Palmer and Buckner if there was
a chance for electing them will vote for
Mckinley and Hobart for the reason that
they want to do all they can to defeat
Bryan and sewall. The avowed object
in calling the Indianapolis convention was
to defeat the Chicago ticket, and it is
reasonable to suppose that very many Of
those who were instrumental in having
that convention called will adopt the
method of accomplishing that object that
promises to be the most effective.
While, therefore, the Palmer and Buck
ner meetings may be largely attended
and very enthusiastic, those who are ex-
pecting a large vote for them will be dis
appointed, in all probability. Indeed it
is not an uncommon thing to hear gold
standard democrats who are doing what
they can to arouse enthusiasm for Pal
mer and Buckner say that they intend
to vote for Mckinley and Hobart.
Ut will be recalled that the independ-
ent democratic ticket in 1872 polled only
10000 votes in the whole country. OF
course, Palmer and Buckner will not fare
as badly as that ticket did. 1t would be
easy to name several states in each of
which they will get more than half of
that number. But whatever that number
may be it will not include anywhere near
all of the gold standard democrats. In
New York, for instance, it is estimated
that Palmer and Buckner will get be-
tween AOfOVO anu oVtVOV NOleSt anu lHey VIII
probably get nearly as many in each of
the states of Pennsylvania and Illinois.
But every we'll informed politician knows
that If they get no larger vote than that
it will be because gold standard demo-
Gratis have cast their votes for the re-
publican ticket.
In the south probably the proportion of
gold standard democrats who will vote for
Palmer and Buckner will be larger than
in the north and west, because in the
southern states vote for Mckinley and
Hobart would not help to defeat Bryan
and Sewall. Still, even in the south there
are gold standard democrats who will
vote for the republican candidates.
From what can be gathered from the
political situation at present the cam
paign for Palmer and Buckner will be
conducted as enthusiastically as that for
any other ticket, but the vote they will
receive will be far from being as large
as it was predicted it would be by the
friends of that ticket Immediately after
the Indianapolis convention.

Cheap Religion.

Something like thirty years ago Bishop
Thompson wrote a book which he called
Evidences of Revelation" in which he
enumerated some comparative figures of
the cost of religion. The comparisons
which he furnished then hold good now,
according to a Chicago preacher, although
the totals of thirty years ago are proba-
bly, not so large as those of the present
day would be. The Methodist denomina-
ton, which Bishop Thompson judged to
be as earnest and sincere in their protes-
tations of conservation to the work of the
Master as any other denomination, spent
only one-half a cent per day for each
church member upon their church. The
Christians of the United States spent only
$171 for their Masters work, against every
$4,000 spent for other purposes. Thus the
Methodists secured a remarkably cheap
rate of insurance against future calamity;
just a little more than the one-hundredth
part of their money for the causes of the
church.
The $1,000 clergymen in the country re-
ceived about $6,OOO,OOO while the SO 700
lawyers got $S5,OOO,OO0. The criminals of
the country cost $12,OOO,OOO and the dogs
$50 OoO, 900. According to these figures there
was the value of two preachers in every
criminal. and the value of six preachers
in every dog. These calculations show
how cheap the church was thirty years
ago. And the minister above referred to-
writing in the Chicago Record, says it is
relatively just as cheap to-day; that the
criminals and dogs of the country still
cost more than the preachers Of the Meth
odist denomination.
The writer goes into comparison Of
the cost of the religions of the present
day and those OF former periods, and
reaches the conclusion, from statistics
that the Protestant religion of this CEN
fury is the cheapest religion ever enjoyed
by mankind. The Catholic religion is
cheaper than heretofore, but it does not
compare in smallness of cost with the
Protestant. The heathens continue to pay
fabulous sums for their theologies. A sin
! gle religious feast in India or China costs
money enough to support all Of the
churches of this country for year; and
daily wages in those countries are not
much above five cents. Everybody admits
that religion is mighty factor in the
maintenance of law and order. 1t is,
therefore, concluded that the restraining
influences of the Protestant churches are
the cheapest safeguards to lives and prop
erty known in modern civilization. 1t may
| not be altogether pleasing to church work
ers to look upon the matter in the light It
is here presented. But the calculations
and comparisons are interesting.
