ELECTRIC LIGHTS IN CHURCHES.
Tho Objections To Their Use In Roman Catholic
Churches Overruiea LonE Age.

The use OF the electric light is no longer
matter of uncertain ritual with tho Catholic
churches OF the country. Bishop Farley has in
troduced 1t into his parish church OF st. Gabriel
on West Thirty.seventh street, and has begun
to employ II for many novel and useful pur-
poses. The confessionals are all supplied with
the incandescont bulbs. beautiful effects are
apse. and the stations OF the cross are iilumined
by concealed lights
When the electric light was first used in the
churches the innovation was much opposed on
the ground that the ritual of the Church called
for tho light OF wax candles. The authorities
however. decided that the electric light could
be used for illumnat lon. while the wax lights
continued to have their proper place in the regu-
lar ceremonies. Since then electric lighting has
become general.

The Army Of Tramps.

There can be no doubt that the tramp
) in certain sense the maker and
,hooser Of his own career. The writer's
experience with these vagrants has con-
7inced him that, though they are almost
always the victims Of liquor and lazi-
ness, fully four -fifths of America s vol
uftary heggars have begun their wide
and restless ways while still in their
teens. and have been furthered in their
wrong tendencies by unwise treatment
applied to them when young.
Ycar after year, even month after
month, trampdom is increased by squads
of youths who will soon take and hold
the places of their elders, who will nat
urally drop away with the years. These
boyish roadsters are more often illegiti-
mate than lawful children and conse-
quently proper subjects for state care
and guardianship. And the fact that
every tramp in the United States has
spent some part Of his yorth in re-
form school, or, worst Of all, in jails,
demonstrates that there is failure
somewhere in our system Of correction
and reformation and makes it necessary
and only fair that the sociologist as
we'll as the reformer should know the
tramp from boyhood to manhood. Su-
perficial and unsympathetic studies Of
his character, with shallow theories
about remedial measures, have SO far
failed signally

TIE LESSON OF EXPERIENCE.

The fifth legislature OF South Da-
k0ta has closed it's sixty day session,
and it is now proper to obtain what
ever benefits we may from the eXper-
ience thereof. The session was un-
der control OF populist majority,
which party has constantly shouted
for reform" and promised change
IN manner and methods if the people
would but trust them with affairs OF
state. That these loud claims were
simply the cry OF demagogic leaders
TO obtain spoils was evident to many
who could readily see the attempt to
deceive. But small majority then
failed to see what they now know to
be an established fact. If there ever
was any place on earth q more dis
graceful scramble for pelf than that
exhibited at Pierre this winter, there
is DO record Of it in history.
With all their promises of reform,
their opposition to lobbies, to legis-
lative jobbery, to favOritism, to un-
nessary expense, and their past criti-
cism OF republican methods, our op-
position friends must now admit
that the men whom they selected as
leaders have made a lamentable fail
ure, so far as party pledges were con-
cerned. In fact. the rank and file of
the populist party do frankly admit
it. They were deceived by the claims
OF their leaders.
The session has practically been a
failure as regards beneficial laws, and
it has cost the taxpayers 100000
more than did the session of two
years ago; the obnoxious lobby was
larger and more corrupt than eyer;
the governor traded and bickered
with his patronage to secure benefits
for his close personal friends. This
is the record. 1t is not n biased, par
tisan view, but an absolute fact now
known of all intelligent men.
What lesson can we obtain from
this? One at least, ii we honestly
seek wisdom from experience. Aver
age humanity is about the same, re-
gardiess of political beliefs, and when
entrusted with certain duties there is
not likely TO be such Il vast difference
in the methods used or results OBJ
tGined, between one set Of men and
uuoC her set OF ncn. This is with the
proviso, OF course, that the men are
OF good average in their own party,
the grotesque element not being con-
sidered. So, when men shout and
make loud claims that they will do
such and such great things, they may
be safely cIassed as demagogues, with
some fish OF their own to fry. What
all persons should do-that is, intel
ligent persons--is to put aside their
likes and dislikes, their preiudices,
and examine men and their PROPOSE
tions more carefully. II a man is IA
liar and rascal, he will be such
whether he be in your party or my
party. But il men be equally honest
one will do about as much reform
ing" as another.
