cept, because Of his, possibly. more linn
erywhere a preponderance Of fair
weather honesty, and there Is saving
quantity Of it that will stand the strain
Of severe temptation; but a cornstalk
and an oak will stand equally upright
in a calm, and it is the gale that dis
closes the difference In stamina SO
there is a large number Of men who
are honest, who pass through their
lives earning reputation for integrity
because no gale Of temptation mas
blown over them. We believe, too'
that the natural, first impulses OF the
great majority of men are honest. But
no man who has observed his fellows
much but knows that there is limit
Of strength beyond which it is not safe
to press the integrity of very many OF
his fellows.
Experienced lobbyists, whose busi-
public duties, divide men into three
classes, the absolutely lncorruptible,
the corruptible and the corrupt, and
they assign about one-third Of human
ity to each class. Two-thirds Of man
kind are thus ballasted more or less
with good morals and pass for and are
considered honest men. One-half Of
these. however, have morals with more
or less flexible verteOrae. This is a
more favorable showing for our COM
mon humanity than that made by the
gentlemen who furnished Miss Evans
with their opinions, as 1t leaves about
so per cent Of men whose morals will
carry them safely over any ordinary
danger. But whether the business men
who gave their estimate to Miss Evans
or the experienced and expert buyers
Of men are right or wrong is apart
from the real question, and that is
whether general conditions are not
such as to call for the addition Of
moral training as distinct factor in
school studies.
So important were thought to be the
results of instruction IN the effects Of
indulgence in alcoholic stimu1ants that
several states have required distinct
instruction in it. Is honesty of less i'm
portance? There will develop drunk
ards from those who have been taught
the ruinous effects of excessive indul-
gence in intoxicants,a and so there will be
men and women who will be dishonest
even If the effects Of it are taught
them in the schools; but that is only
saying that humanity is still far from
perfection, and that some seed always
falls on barren spots. But, if effort is
to be abandoned because result is in
commensurate to it, the teaching Of
morality by OUT churches should have
been given up in despair centuries ago.
But there is always the residuum of
good result that shows increasingly
through the years. and the aim of our
school system, the production of good
citizens, will be better served when
those things are taught that will make
moral basis for the education of the
mind.

TESTIMONIAL TO MISS WEIR.
Colored People Honor the Talented
Young Woman.

Quite a swell function among colored
people occurred last evening at the
Pilgrim Baptist church. The occasion
was testimonial benefit rendered Miss
Mayme Weir, the popular young elocu-
zionist, by the colored people Of st.
Paul Miss Weir is a graduate Of the
Minneapolis school Of fine arts. where
she is now a teacher Of elocution. She
has filled a number Of engagements in
the Twin Cities and has on several oc-
casions given her services for the bene-
fit of the Pilgrim Baptist church, and
the colored people gave this testimonial
in appreciation Of her services. The
affair was success, both from a finan-
cial and musical standpoint. The long
list Of patronesses included all the
prominent colored people Of st. Paul.
Miss Weir gave three recitations which
were well received. Numbers were also
given by Mrs. Francis, Mrs. r. G. MI

STILL COWARDLY,

The message Of President Mckinley
is a ridiculous outcome of all the Re-
| publican denunciation that we have
heard concerning the attitude Of this
country toward Cub One has but to
turn back to the files Of three or four
months ago to read columns of vitu-
peratiye abuse Of Mr.. Cleveland and
his administration because they did
nothing for Cuba. We have been told
since the 4th of March that Mr.. McKin-
ley was waiting until, through trusted
agents Of his own, he could ascertain
and then the machinery Of the govern
ment would at last be set in motion
in behalf ef Cuban liberty. He has
sent representative to the island and
has demanded and, we understand, re-
ceived exhaustive reports from all our
consular representatives there and
what Is the tremendous gun that he
has fired? Nothing more nor less than
harmless and pitiful little message
asking for an appropriation of $4,000
to relieve the necessities Of Americans
resident in Cuba. Again the mountain
has labored, and this is the mouse that
has emerged
The appropriation in itself would be
we'll enough if the relief fund We're to
be distributed through a proper
agency like the Red Cross associa ton.
If it is to be disbursed, as is provided,
through the agents of the state de-
partment and under it's direction, we
have little hope that the benefits will
be great. These American citizens
resident in Cuba, with suspiciousIy
Spanish names. will use whatever
political pull they have, and the $4,000
will be put where the agents Of Re-
publican administration think that it
will do the most good. The govern
ment has occasionally extended relief
to it's citizens at home who were suf-
ferers from some great calamity, and it
might with propriety do something to
help bona fide citizens abroad. The
method Of doing it. as we have said,
10 "iOAiS, 1uo tAC dCt luSfSll Is SO IN
significant as to call attention to the
contrast between 1T and the cyclone
Of defamation by which it was pre-
ceded.
Neither party in either the senate or
the house, however appears to have
anything better to offer. Men on both
sides are still centering the controversy
about the foolish and impotent pro-
posal to recognize the belligerency of
the Cuban insurgents. It is still the
towards and takers who have the
floor. Now, as from the beginning,
there have been but two courses worthy
of this nation. The one was to inter-
vene actively in Cuba in behalf Of hui
man liberty and accept the conse-
quences, whatever they might be. The
other was to avoid buster, keep our
fingers out of business where we did
not intend to act seriously, and leave
the Cubans to their fate. Neither Of
these, however. would be what is COM
monty known as politics" The entire
Cuban situation today, therefore. re-
fleets a. common discredit upon all
branches Of the government. We have
little right to gird at the powers Of
Europe when our own public men

AT THE THEATERS.

The immediate success scored by the Glffen-
Neill company at the Metropolitan opera
house has been more pronounced, both from
a dramatic and social point of view, than
that of any engagement that has taken
place in st. Paul in a great many months.
The social side of the affair is certainly a
most delightful one, and the individual mem
bers of the Giffen-Neill company are In re-
ceipt Of numerous invitations to receptions
and dnners-and proposed affairs, providing
they will accept the invitation to be present.
Robert Drouet is pronounced by the feminine
patrons Of the Metropolitan one OF the most
charming and attractive leading men that
has ever appeared upon that stage. This
would indicate that the next Saturday matinee
will be very large. The following is a sample
of many letters congratuiatory in their nature
that Manager Scott received yesterday:

Dear Sir: The performance by the Giffen-
Neill company last night at your theater

securing so well-equipped dramatic organiza-
tion. 1t certainly deserves liberal patronage
on account of the low prices and the high
artistic merit Of the company. Sincerely
yours, j. w. Lusk.

THE RITTER MURDER.
Some Interesting Developments in the
Case Expected Shortly.

1t is now probable that the murder
of Amos Ritter, the aged man who
was found brutally murdered near
Watsontown some months ago, will
soon be apprehended.
County Detective Daugherty, ex-
poets to make an arrest in few days
upon evidence that seems to be well
founded.
The club with which it is believed
the dastardly deed was completed
after the old man was shot, has been
found. The paper in which the old
man had his little coins wrapped and
which it is alleged was found at the
spot where he was killed after the
detective had carefully gone over
every inch of the ground, has been
examined by experts, who claim that
the paper had never been exposed to
rain or even dew. This plainly shows
that the paper was put there the same
day it was found, which was week or
more after the murder.
There is, Of course, a possibility
that the murderer dropped the paper
accidentally, provided it was found
there, but it is also evident that the
murderer, who had the paper IN his
possession, must have been on the
ground the day the paper is alleged &c
have been found.
The arrest, if made as suspicion
now directs, will reveal not only some
very startling facts, but, if convictior
follows, will expose one of the mos
deceitful and treacherous crimes eve
committed IN Central Pennsylvania.
