Distinction Without a Difference.

While we are not disposed to believe
anything but good of the bankers who
have recently taken their own lives,
and are disposed to grant that their
mistakes were more of the head than
of the heart, errors Of judgment rather
than wilful dishonesty, still it is posi-
bic we may be making a distinction
where difference does not really exist.
The revelations in connection with the
failure of the National Bank of Illinois
especially discloses the fact that the
money of widows and orphans and the
hard earned savings Of thousands of
the laboring class, was loaned out to
relatives Of the directors, and favorites,
on worthless security, and will be lost
in part or in whole. Thus will hundreds
OF poor people, who trusted their say
ings to the Bank of Illinois for safe
keeping be deprived of their money
through what some people are pleased
TO call ''errors of Judgment" Would it
not be better to call such unwarranted
and illegal use of the peoples money
by its proper name IL future Call it
dishonesty, robbery, for it is nothing
else. 1t is a pity, of course, that any
man should take his life, but we sub
NIT that the poor people who lost their
money in the National Bank of Illinois,
and other banks wrecked by like pro-
cess, are more deserving of sympathy.

The Loud Bill.

The Loud bill to amend the law re-
lating to second class mail matter, passed
the House on Wednesday. 1t denies
the admission of serial publications to
the mails at the | cent rate and imposes
a four-cent rate on all second-class re-
turn matter, and viii have a tendency
to prevent the distribution of sample
copies of newspapers and books through
the mails and thus prevent the dissent
nation of desirable literature. 1t will
also enforce some very veXatiOus rules.
which will be little appreciated by
either publishers or pOstmasters. On
the other hand, it is contended that
the change is necessary in order to stop
the enormous deficit in the postotiice
department. Whether it is a wise
policy to curtnil the circulation of lite
nature in the intererts of public rev.
enue by the imposition of the in
creased return rate, would be readily
answered in the negative by those who
masses If they were not sure that a very
large percentage Of the newspapers and
magazines sent out never pass the news
stand, or are left unread in the homes
of the people. The law, however, seems
like step in the wrong direction from

LOOMING FORWARD.

The people of the United States, with
ont political distinction. will expect the
Republican party, when it assumes the
reins of government, to devise an eco
nomic and fiscal policy to suit the
whole country, and be productive Of
the good results the people were led to
believe would follow from change from
a tariff for revenue to a protective tariff.
In a great country like this, however,
with It's East and West and its North
and its South, with its various and vary
ing interests. it will be no easy task to
devise tariff which will be general in
its beneficial results, and it must be ex-
pected that there will be some ,iissatis-
faction caused and expressed. There
are two sides to all economic and fiscal
questions and policy likely to prove
benefit to one interest is likely to prove
an injury to another. Take the coal
and lumber interests, for example. In
districts where there is no coal or lum-
Der the people naturally want those
necessarles at the lowest possible price.
and they are in favor of any policy to
lessen their cost. SO with many other
articles. To the difficult task of doing
justice to all the Republican party will
have to address itself and while it may
not satisfy its enemies we believe it
will succeed in devising a tariff measure
which will be productive of the greatest
good to the greatest number; measure
that will have the effect Of (lisa busing the
minds of some people of the idea that
a Republican administration is only
bound to look after the interests of Re-
publicans; measure that will serve to
make the different sections believe that
their interests are On, that we are,
or should be. one and undivided. To fail
in giving the country such a measure
will be disastrous to the Republican
party and to the country. We have
faith in the wisdom and patriotism of
our party, however, and believe it
will make good its pledges.

he Old Game.

Hon. Chas. \. Towne has introduced
bin into the house which, if passed. will
result IN Superior, Ashland, bayfield,
and Washburn being taken out Of the
Marquette customs district and added
to the Duluth district. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr.. Towne tried TO ac-
complish by special bill last session
what he is trying to by a general bill
tins session. He Is evidently determ-
ined to make hImsel. solid in Duluth at
the expense of Superior. What are the
people of Superior going to do about it,
There is no time TO lose as there is a
strong probability that the bill will
pass. Must We be forced to play second
fiddle to our greedy neighbor forever.

Growth OF Crrnc.

Imam article i'll the last number of the
Irish World, reviewing the past year,
and dwelling upon the different phazes
OF our national life, Mr.. Robert Ellis
Thompson says:
another side of the national life
which Is dIsheartening to the student of
our moral condition is the trightful
growth OF crime among us. The number
OF people put to death by the hand of
the murderer every year of our history
Is said to exceed the number of lives
lost in any three battles of the Civil
War. The Increase also is frightfullv
rapid. 1t rose to seveufold in nine
years, according to the National Bureau
OF Statistics. 1t has grown five times as
last as the growth OF the population
from all causes. 1t is found equally in
native and Immigrant population. The
South, which has few immigrants in its
white population, records murders by
white men far in excess of its share in
the whole population.
But this Is no theme for any recrimi-
nation between sections or differing ell, :
ments. | have mentioned these fact 5
only to check the self-complacencv with
which some approached the question.
The land is drenched with blood as
the Hebrew prophet said of his own
country. The blood of our brethren
cries from the ground. 1t is grave
question Tor all who represent moral or
religious agencies TO deal with. Are
our schools Intellectual to impress the
frst lesson of duty on the vounC2 Shall
lo9I he as dark and bloody as the two
years which preceded it? DO 10000
human beings enter upon it with
sentence Of death by the hand of law
less men hanging over them? Nav God
avert 1t -
II, as reported by the Bureau of Ma
tional Statistics, crime has grown five
times as fast as the population during
the last nine years, what is to prevent
1t increasing at q greater rate during the
next nine years, since the criminal
population is on the increase? As Mr..
Thompson SAYS, this Is a grave ques-
ton and should check our self-compIa-
ceucv. 1t is, in our opinion. the gravest
danger 10 the moral condition of the
nation Of any with which we are con-
fronted at present and should engage
the serious consideration of every man
and woman who loves righteousness
and hateth crime.

WHY WOMEN SHOULD WOO"
1t Seems to Be ibout Time They
Had Their Turn


The Chapcrone Magazine tells why
Women Should Woo" l haven't read
the article, but l have TO doubt ut all
that hosts of good reasons could be
found why women should WOO. In
fact, | can think of q good many my
self. They have more time, to begin
with, and they seem to know how to
go about it better. No woman is half
so awkward during the counting period
as the most graceful man. Sweet
speeches come inStinCtively to her lips,
and the art OF tucking Il flower neatly
into the button hole of Il coat is hers,
though she had never n brother or n
male cousin, while all the sisters ut
home ever possessed by any youth
never taught him to place a rose above
his lady's brow without tickling her
ear ard allowing the thorn to prick her
neck BY all means let women WOO.
Let them pay the instGllmentS on the
diamond ring, too, and Lire the boats
at the picnic and pay the car fares as
WELL let them buy the bouquets when
ever there is a bali on the tapis, and
when all is done let them hustle out
after long happy evening of love
making and Try what fun it is to go on
a stormy night all the way from Chest
nut Hill to Grove Hall III the last car.

In feelings, not in figures on a dial

which is now life shall be poetry, and
every fair and manly trait shall add a
