TWO OF A KIND.
A WOman'S Point That Was wen
Taken if Not Executed.

Had Secretary Carlisle gone to the
Senate from Kentucky. what lot OF
changes would have been made IN
the ryDepartment!" salda WASH
ingtonian to a. New York Herald re-
porter. Speaking of Carlisle REMINDS
me of an amusing incident which hap
sened when that statesman hrst went
anto the Cabinet.
Shortly after his acceptance or the
Important folio the Kentuckian began
anaking some changes in the rules,
which resulted in stirring up gooo
deal of departmental discussion. one
OF the first reforms made by the Secre-
tary was in line with President CleVe-
lands nepotism policy. Employees were
furnished with blanks containing a
number Of embarrassing questions,
which they We're required to answer
The clerks must state whether tney
had relatives, remote or closely con-
nected, in the Government service. NO
appointments were to be made or per-
sons having relatives holding office.
1.-THE clerks filled in the blanks, but
reluctantly, and many dismissals re-
suited. Of course, the deposed ones
were eager for reinstatement and called
repeatedly on the Secretary with that
end in view Mr.. Carlisle referred all
complainers to his son, Logan, Chlet
Clerk of the department. Logan, one
of the finest fellows Kentucky ever
turned out, explained matters in his
suave way and in a measure hghtened
tie load Of the afflicted.
"One lady, who had been in the SER
vice a long time and had put by a
handsome bank account, called one
morning to see the Chief Clerk.
Mr.. Carlisle she said, L don't see
why I should be dismissed from the
service. I have been in the depart
ment for ten years and have always
done my work well. Surely there is no
fault to be found with me-
None whatever, madam returned
Mr.. Carlisle, but, you see, your hus-
band is also in the Governments en-
ploy and drawing a handsome salary.
1t is the aim to distribute the positions
a little more justly
but surely in the case of such an
old employe an exception could be
made persisted the lady. IF I were
not SO sure that my services were of
value to the department I should not
ask for reinstatement
Really, madam, / am powerless to
help you,' replied Logan, in some dis
tless.
The lady pressed her claim for half
an hour, but to no avail. Finally, as
she was preparing to leave, a happy
thought struck her.
Mr.. Carlisle she asked, how is 1t,
If this rule is to be strictly observed,
that both you and your father occupy
positions of trust and high salary in
this Department.
This was a poser for Logan, and he
thought a minute before answering.
Then, turning to the now triumphant
lady he said:
Madame, your point is well taken.
7 reckon the old gentlman will have to
get out"

the thieves decamped. when a man ap-

says "Tit-Bits.'

the great industries men rise step by step
to the highest positions. because they have
displayed fitness. and the first essentials
of all fitness are faithfulness and integ-
rity.
The line of action which Mr.. Bryan has
advised in regard to voting involves a de-
ceit which would destroy that fabric of in
tegrity which is built by days and years of
honorable dealing and conduct. Practiced
in voting, it would be practiced elsewhere
until all men, in every relation of life,
would nave no faith in each other.

them as II they had been camp followers.
1t was the patriotic sentiment which led
these men to the field In 1ss1-s4 to which
Sickles and Howard appealed. and 1t was
the banked fire Of that patriotism In their
hearts as old men which famed up with
the old enthusiasm when they were called
government which they had helped to
save. 1t was the same patriotism which led
thousands of Indiana veterans to tender
their services to Governor Matthews in
1894, when the majesty of the law was
threatened. All of them are now old. and
many are feeble and poor, but they are a
remnant of the hundreds of thousands who
exalted patriotism a third of a century
ago, and who are now intensely loyal to
the Union. its Constitution and the in
situations of the Republic which uphold its
liberties and the security of its people.
The tour of these physical wrecks of the
war" as an enemy has remarked, has
served to ;nfuse into the campaign an ele-
ment of earnest patriotism and to arouse
from their security those who may not
have seen the dangers in the menaces
which the Chicago platform contains. The
sentiments of the tourists and the responses
of their comrades along the way have
served to impress those of a later genera
ton that the Union, the supremacy of the
federal government and it's Institutions are
a precious heritage which must not be
threatened by the revolutionary and an
archistic spirit which dominated the Chi
cage convention. The very general and
emphatic protest which the veterans have
raised to the Altgeldism and Tillmanism
which dominate the Bryan party is. all
things considered, the most important
event in the cam paign, because it has
the higher sentiment of nation
ality. Thus the service rendered by the
old leaders and their old comrades in this
campaign is worthy of the pen who thirty
years ago shouted. We're coming, Father

they had fought to preserve, that they

MOST VICIOUS ADVICE.

No expression of Mr.. Bryan has been
more generally denounced than that in
which he advised railroad and other en-
ployes to wear the Mckinley buttons and
turn out in the Mckinley parades. but to
vote for Bryan under the secrecy which
the Australian ballot system insures. Mr..
Sheerin. in his declaration, calls attention
to it to denounce it. 1t is a declaration
that men can be honorable and yet play
a double part. 1t is a declaration that
cunning and deceit are traits to be culti-
waited and applauded. Heretofore ethics
have been based upon integrity; as advised
by MIR. Bryan, hypocrisy and double deal
ing are the cornerstone of right action,
and men who practice hypocrisy and act
in a manner which will cause them to
consider themselves as sneaks are to be re-
garded the highest type of manhood.
1t must now be very apparent to all men
of fair intelligence that no employee who is
an efficient and faithful man can run the
least risk in voting as he chooses and max
ing open declaration of the fact. The
sweeping declaration of President ingalls,
to that effect makes it very clear that
the heads of railroad companies will not
permit the discharge of men for the free
exercise of the right to vote. Therefore
there can be no possible excuse for the
practice of that hypocrisy which Mr.. Bry-
an has advised as if 1t were a virtue to
practice deceit.
1t is well to consider the advice of Mr..
Bryan in it's effect upon the general rela-
tions between employer and employe. If
it is right to practice deceit in one thing
it cannot be regarded as a wrong rule of
action whenever a mar believes it is for
mis- interest to deceive. And it will be
found to be the case that when a man re-
sorts TO deceit to carry out his purpose in
one thing, he will frequently find himself
in positions where he will find deception
and hypocrisy his readiest allies. The man
who practices deceit in regard to voting
when it is not necessary will not be long
in turning to it on occasions when he may
think it will help him, so that, before
reputation among his associates of being
one in whom nobody can place the least
confidence. The man who openly declares
a purpose to vote one way while intending
TO vote the other. If he executes his
plan, will be found out. In most cases
he will. sooner or later, confide it as a
bit of ''smartness' to some associate, who
will communicate it to others. and, no
natter what their character, he will never
be respected or trusted by them as he
was before. Men who ay be no better
themselves will say of such a man that
he has played the hvpocrite once and that
therefore they can place no reliance in
him.
Many thousands of the strongest friend
ships which exist between men are those
between employer and employe. They are
