THE HUMANE SPIRIT.
Something hat Should be Practiced
From the Cradle TO the Grave.

The following is taken from the re-
port Of the superintendent OF the de-
partment OF mercy for the worlds and
national woman's Christian temper
ance union, which is in session to-day
In st. Louis:
ssThis is a Christian temperance
union. Intemperance and cruelty are
closely related SO we have the depart
ment Of mercy as a legitimate and
important branch OF work. When the
humane movement began, the main
idea wal to protect animals from cruel
treatment. Then it came to be seen
that cruelty is debasing. Now it is
clearly seer that the development Of
the sentiments Of justice and mercy
toward even the most helpless OF G DIS
creatures is an indispensable requisite
Of consistent Christian conduct, and
that the real and permanent elevation
Of the race will only be In the degree
of its recognition Of the rights of the
weak. What chiefly ails this world
to-day is a lack Of kindness, a want Of
the spirit Of compassion. The crimes
with which the world is cursed are
crimes Of cruelty. Eliminate the hide.
Gus element and the worst crimes
would cease to exist. Would there be
any drink sellers, any betrayers OF
women, any grinders of the faces OF
the poor, think you, II there we're no
crueltyp Compassion Is love in its
Christlike form. Cruelty is the cul-
minating expression of hate and Satan's
migbtiest means of evil. What can
we do to lessen the amount of cruelty
10 the worldP Much If we are faithful
and persevering. We cannot regener-
ate many, but we can do a great deal
OF preventive work. We a reach the
rising generation and we can educate
ourselves.
"The best method OF planting the
seeds OF kindness and compassion in
the hear.3 of the young is through tho
band OF mercy. Aud how do we be-
ginP By i%mplanting in the little recep-
tive minds the idea of kindness and
pity toward creatures more helpless
than the children themselves. That
such teaching is of value is no mere
1t has been fully proved, and,
my dear friends, many Of the children
whom you train in this doctrine Of
love and mercy, may in the future, be
men and women unconsciously saved
by you from the commission of crime.
You are teaching them the most
practical observance OF the golden
rule, for we should treat anything that
,an suffer as we should like to be

AS TRUE AS

Ex-President Harrison never said a
wiser or truer thing than his utterance
to the farmers 10 annual congress al
Indianapolis yesterday. He said:
Don't fight as one that beateth the air
/ nave no patience whatever with those
people who are always fighting the air.
II there are abuses of any kind in legisla-
ton or in the business Of the country, lei
us fix the public eye Upon them until we
have exposed the evil, inc then we car
trust the country to make it right. 1t ia
mischievous to denounce classes and this
thing and that.
This is the thing that THE OPTIC
most heartily disproved of in the late
campaign. We have had no patience
with those silverites who looked upon
the wealthy class as willful oppressors
of the poor and with those who termed
the gold standard party as the party of
Doodle and political corruption. At
the same time we most strongly con-
denim those who looked upon the sup
porters Of tho silver question as people
who were trying to legislate themselves
rich and as regulators.
The great question should have
been discussed upon It's merits in a
business-like The issue
was plain enough. Both great
parties advocated b~i-metallism and
the question simply hinged upon the
point, could the United States alone
maintain the ratio value of 16 to 1, by
agreeing to coin all the silver that was
brought to the minis into dollars at a
ratio of l6 to /. Yet when this was
the only question before the people.
how little this one vital point was dis
cussed.
Now that the campaign is ended and
the main object in view, the decision as
to who will fill the offices, is decided,
we may expect the people of the coun-
try to give the question OF bi-metallism
a fair aud unbiased discussion, and as
ex President Harrison says, the public
eye will be fixed upon it until the evil
will have been exposed.

THE PRESS in THE CAMPAIGN.

The Sail Lake Tribune has an
article on tho power OF the press In the
recent election. II cites the fact that
the various regions Of the country vot-
cd as the press for n or the other side
predominated. We think this Is true ;
more, we think the lack OF fonr or five
newspapers in critical states cost Mr..
Bryan bis defeat. For instance, a
strong, able silver paper in Portland,
Or, would have given that state to
Bryan; n paper that could have
shown the people what their trouble
was and how to remedy 1t.
We believe q similar result could
have been accomplished in Kentucky,
by u real silver newspaper IN LOUIS
vile in that state.
Again a thorough silver paper in
Baltimore ought to have turned the
scale in Maryland. We are morally
certain that d ringing silver paper in
Los Angeles, Cal, would have saved
that state to Bryan, and that a part OF
the old northwest. could have been
saved by o newspaper able enough to
meet and turn back the sophistries OF
the Pioneer Press. The effect Of two
first class silver papers in Ohio was
shown. The Bryan ticket carried v ith
it more than 10000 more votes than
any democratic candidate for president
ever before received in that state. In
deed, Bryan's vote was SO immense,
that the fact that it was beaten, carries
with it a suspicion Of fraud. In Rem
lucky, there was nothing to meet the
unsupported assertions Of the paper
there, that has been a power 10 that
state for fifty years. In Oregon, the
Oregonians had a comparatively clear
field. In Baltimore, the Sun had full
swing with nothing to answer it, and it
is n of the ablest papers in America.
The Pioneer Press is q kind OF Bible to
the old northwest, and it, too, had a
comparatively clear field. California
also went by default. The real argn-
ments which are behind silver had no
strong advocate 10 all the Golden
State.
Here in New Mexico whers half the
are directly interested in protec-
ton and the Territory being normally
republican. the newspapers can take
the credit to themselves Of saving the
Territory from Catron, a man who says
d the newspapers, and who prob
ABLY feels that he would now like to
emphasize this oath with a few strong
Or ephithets.
We have no idea how much money
he Bryan managers expended; but the
esults show that a little money spent
n a few states in laying before the
every morning during the cam

converted what is now a defeat into q

DEAR FRIEND How are you? You are
going to St. Louis. Amen! Probably could
have gone had | consented to be candidate,
but professional business forbid. 1t was hard
to resist, and one of the inducements was the
thought of meeting you. wish all the SURE
REFORM elements could get together and mop
up the McKinleys, "McKinley tariff and the
worst plutocratic party that ever ruined the
homes of any and Maybe relief will COM
mence to come in 'o6. Does it look as though
it could be borne fol four more years? There
are hosts of patriots in America, and they have
the spirit of 10. Ere long, something must
be done 1t is now almost criminal to live at
the price of submission to the present condi
tons.
But, this is not what l picked up the pen for
it was this At the close of all address
which delivered before the convention which
elected Populist delegates to St. Louis, recit-
ed the poem which you read at the banquet in
honor of those brave people, the Champes. If
you will look it over, you'll see at once how it
would hit the handful of our gray and grizzled
Peter Cooper veterans, who are about to reap
the harvest they have been SO long maturing.
1 gave you credit, saying you would be at ST.
Louis. No matter about the speech-"all's
we'll that ends WE'LL" and if the applause was
an indication, the end was glorious.
Yours for the cause,

WOULD IMPEACH CLEVELAND.

Congressman Howard, of Alabama, created
no little excitement the other day, by introduce
ing resolution to impeach President Cleve-
land. Following is the resolutions
81 do nnpeach Grover Cleveland, president
of the United States, of high crimes and mis-
demeanors OH the following grounds:
''First-That he has sold, or directed the
sale of, bonds, without authority of law.
"Seccnd-That he sold, or aided in the sale
Of, bonds at less than their market value.
"Third-That he directed the misappropria
ton of the proceeds of said bond sales.
"Fourth-That he directed the secretary of
the treasury to disregard the laws which make
United States notes and certificates redeemable
in coin.
"Fifth-That he has ignored and refused to
have enforced the ANTITRUST law.
"Sixth-That he has sent United States
troops into the state of Illinois without the au-
thority of law i'll violation of the constitution.
"Seventh-That he has corrupted politics
through the interference of federal oficeholders.
"Eighth-That he has used the appointing
power to influence legislation detrimental to
the welfare of the people.
Resolved, By the house of representatives,
that the committee on judiciary be directed to
ascertain whether these charges are true, and if
SO, to report to the house such action by i'm
parchment or otherwise as shall be proper in
the premises, and said committee shall have
authority to send for persons and papers,"
Immediately, both Republican and Demo-
cratic members of the house rushed to Cleve-
lands rescue, and Mr.. Towards resolution
was squelched. Howard is 'crazy Pop"
you know, and the old-party fellows combined
to "kill him" as they are doing elsewhere.
