NEW CITY DIRECTORY OUT.
A More Complete Work Than Here
tofore-Our Population

The new City Directory has just been
published. From a cursory review, 1t
appears to be the largest and most com
plete ever issued in Richmond. II con-
tains nearly 200 pages, and is divided
into thirteen departments. 1t has been
complied by the j. l. Hill Printing com
panv-who purchased the rights, titles
and interests of the ChatHiGne I0rec-
tory Company last July-with scrupulous
care. and il contains a great fund OF
Information outside the regular lines.
1t is attractively bound in red boards
with black cloth. back-lettered in gold
and Is quite a handsome volume.
one Of the most interesting features
of the directory is table showing the
growth Of the city during the past two
wears. or since the last directory was
issued II is so arranged as TO show
the increase in each letter Of the alphabet
and the result OF the figures gives an
increase of l457 per cent

generally to be too small, none using

PUBLIC OPINION AND CONSCIENCE.
The Chief OutgrOwths of Civiliza-
tfon-Dr. CnIisch breaches.

1.-THE Public Conscience" was the sub
ject Of an interesting discourse de-
liyered by Rabbi e. n. Calisch at Beth
Ahaba synagogue yesterday. The Rabbi
took his text from Exodus. xiii, ,
Civilization, he said, was the fruit Of
consolation of men. II makes many
things possible which individual effort
could never bring about. The fruits Of
civilization axe not only 70 be found IN
the material tokens Of its activity, but
there are many other outgrowths OF the
association OF men, chiefest Of which
are public opinion and public conscience
The distinguished characteristics or
these are numerous Public opinion IS
variable and uncertain; the public con-
science once fixed. IS not easily altered.
Public opinion is comfortable by the H.
dfvidual. the public conscience is beyond
the power of individual influence. Pub
lie opinion is often the slave-the pub
lie conscience is always the master. Pub
lie opinion IS often defied with impunlty;
the public conscience cannot with m
puuitv be violated. Public opinion is
often artifciauy built up. the public con-
science is the slow and sure growth
that nature makes her own.
THE STANDARD OF CONDUCT.
The community must measure up 10
the standard of conduct set up by the
sense Of right that is the outgrowth Of
civilization. Public opinion deals with
the person; the public conscience with
the deed.
Like the conscience Of an individual.
the public conscience may become dulled
and deadened And that is the fault
with US to-day. The many social evils
of which complaint is heard exist sim
plv because a sluggish public conscience
permits them. We inveigh against politi-
cal corruption and the venality of pub
lie servants but We do nothing more
and when the official steps out OF Office
he is received into society There are
certain business methods in vogue that
are more legal than moral. but they
will continue to be practiced because they
are permitted by public conscience. IN
our judicial procedure there is much TO
lament. What is needed is an aroused
public conscience that shall condemn
wrong and give its apparel to worthy
ends and high ideals. 1t IS the duty
of the moral element to insist upon
honest action, but 20 must come from
the GEAR Of Cod" f- where there Is
