The woman who had her stomach cut

treatise that the most learned sayant
might write. We have observed this
tendency for some time, and have come
to the conclusion that it is due TO a
blind spirit Of emulation-to the idea

only he must do it harder
THE REASON FOR IT.
Marysville Appeal: The recent Dem
ocratic wall TO the effect that the coun-
try is in a ruinous condition because Of
the proposed reduction of wages of the
cotton-mill operatives in New England
has caused some Of the leading papers
of the country to examine into the mat
ter of the increase and reduction of
wages during the past few months. 1t
is found from the statistics compiled by
Bradstreet's and Duns that thou
sands of employees, representing
| numerous classes of industry and
scattered all over the country, have
either had their wages increased from 5
| to 20 per cent, or at least been promised
Increases to commence with the new
year while the one instance of reduction
OF the cotton-mill hands is natural re-
suit of the competition of the cotton
mills in the South, where the mill
operators pay less wages, obtain longer
hours of labor, and have practically no
transportation to pay on the raw
| material.

MUIR DER ANO THE CHURCH.

An interior contemporary, referring
to the conversion of Duwant to a re-
ligious faith and his acceptance into
that church, says that such things as
that bring religion into contempt and
stimulate the growth of infidelity. 1t
is impossible for the unbiased and log-
ical mind to reach any conclusion at all
correspondent with that. If the doc
trine of repentance and forgiveness Oh
sin is worth anything whatever, it has
no limitations. It assumes that the
viIest sinner may return and that GOD 5
mercy has no bounds.
If the church is to say all other
sinners may return and be forgiven,
but those who kill their fellows are
doomed beyond hope, and must ma
the doors of mercy closed against them'
then it breaches that murder is an un-
pardonable sin, and that the arms OF
the church can open wide enough only
to receive certain classes of penitent
evil doors. while certain other classes
and are shut out from the atonement
Of Christ upon the cross.
This is not at all discussing the truth
or falsity of the Christian faith, but is
treating the question of the true logic
of that faith, it's consistent breadth
and it's limitless capacity. To say that
the church of Christ, which builds up
on the doctrine Of repentance and for
giveness. can consistently draw line
over which the murderer may not pass
is to deny the fundamental doctrine OF
Christianity, to make a mockery OF re-
pentance, expiation and forgiveness.
II that doctrine stimulates infidelity
and unbelief, so be it; by that doctrine
the church must stand, and by that
doctrine it must be content to fall, II
growth Of inhdelity is evidence of fail
ure.

That there must be a check put upon
the growth of the pension list is now
generally conceded. The list has greatly
outgrown the original intention in Gre
ating it, and we are unquestionably
paying out vast sum Of money to men
and women as pensioners who have no
moral right to receive the money. The
United States can stand the payment
Of the Sal 100000 annually, but it can
not afford to close it's eyes to the fact
that it is egregiously cheated, when
the number of pensioners increases in
stead of diminishing, even in periods
larging the list There has, we fear,
come to be a deal of truth in the coarse
saving: Whoever desires can now be-
come a pensioner, If his swear is strong
and long enough" The fact that the
clerks in the Pension Office in consid-
cradle number have managed to get
upon the list by adroit array of sup
posed proofs Of legitimacy of claims
has awakened a feeling of Indignation
that must result in a response to the
demand for an overhauling of the PEN
reform. No one regrets a cent paid
to the deserving old soldiers who are
real pensioners, or to their wives and
dependent children. What the people
are Directing to is the loading of the
pension list with a lot Of fraudulent
allowances Of applicants. If investi-
CATION should result in a verdict that
all on the list are entitled, the whole
country would be amazed, since the
justified belief Is that an exceedingly
large percentage Of present pensioners
are on the list by cheat and fraudulent
design. The advice of the Commits
sioner Of Pensioners that his depart
ment should be instructed by Congress
to deal directly with pensioners, utterly
ignoring the go-between pension attor-
neys, would seem to be wise. and one
step in the direction of reform.

Hesitation in a practical and humane
way. The first appeal issued a month
ago and made by the President, seems
not to have awakened the response that
the loud expressions of sympathy JUS
titled. Have we been opening our
mouths on the street corners in sym
pathetic speech for the suffering peo-
pie Of Cuba, while buttoning our pock-
cts closer that the money value of our
sympathy may not be gagged? Sympa-
thy that costs nothing but words is of
little value to the man with an empty

wounds receive no healing balm
