labor Il Worship.


Pause not 10 dream Of the future before u.s.
Pause not to weep the wild cares that como
DER us.
Harkl How creations deep, musical chorus
Underwriting goes up into heavoni
Never the ocean wave faters In flowing
Never the little seed stops In It's growing.
More and more richly the rose heart keep9
glowing
Till from Ats nOurishing stem IL is riVen.
"Labor is worship" the robin Is singing
"LAbor is worship" the wild bee IN ringing.
Listenl That eloquent whisper, upspringing,
Speaks to thy soul from out natures great
heart.
From che dark cloud flows the life giving
shower,
From the rough sod blows the soft breathing
flower,
From the small insect the rich coral bower.
Only man In the plan shrinks from his part.
Labor is life. IT'S the still water faileth.
Idleness ever despaireth, bewaileth.
Keep tho watch wound, for the dark rust aB'
saileth.
Flowers droop and die in tho stiffness Of
noon.
Labor is glory. The flying cloud lightens.
Only the waving wing changes and brightenS.
Play the sweet keys wouldst thou keep
them in tune.
Labor is rest from the sorrows that greet us,
Rest from all petty voXations that meet us
Rest from sin promptinRs that ever entreat us,
Rest from world sirens that lure us to Ill.
Work, and pure slumbers shall wait on thy
pillow;
Work, thou ahalt ride over cares coming bill
low.
Lie not down weariod meath woes weeping
willow.
Work with stout heart and resolute will.
Labor ls health. Lo, the husbandman reaping,
How through his veins goes the life current
leapingl
How HIS strong arm in Its stalwart pride
sweeping
True as n sunbeam the swift sickle guidesl
Labor Is wealth. In the sea the pearl groweth.
Rich the queens robe from the frail cocoon
hOweth.
Temple and statue the marble block hides.
Droop not, though shame, ain and anguish are
round thee.
Bravely fling of the cold chain that hath
bound thee.
Look to the pure heaven smiling beyond thee.
Rest not content in thy darkness, n clod.
Work for some good, be II ever 80 slowly.
Cherish some flower, be 1t ever 80 lowly.
Labor All labor is noble and holy.
Lee thy great deeds be thy prayer to thy God.

The FIomellest Cat.

For goodness sake! what's that
you've got now?" asked a tired-looking
woman as she saw her small daughter
come painting into the kitchen Of the ten
ement fat, clutChing something appar-
emily all frantic legs.
"JUr kitty" said Maysle, simply dis
entangling 1t, and setting it upright on
The floor.
"Well, I never did," exclaimed her
mother, in dlsmay. why, Margaret
Williams, are you crazy? l never saw
such homely creature in all my born
days. It'll bring us bad luck, sure, with
that wicked green eye, and that mean
yeller one. Ugh! You just take 1t back

"Oh, we'll" relented Mrs, Williams, "I
reckon we'll keep her till she's all cured

SO Maysie kept her cat; and pity
blossOmed so quickly into love that she
was perfectly blind to its peculiar ugli-
ness and fondly fancied it the dearest,
sweetest and loveliest kitty in all the
world, when on the very next Sunday
MRS Williams read out suddenly from

4 SIN OF OMISSION.

c ECRETARY PORTER has found it necessary N to issue through the Associated Press state - ment warning the public against alleged inter views with the President and Mrs. Mckinley pub lished in the interruptions yellow journals. Referring to certain recent fakes of the kind which false both i'll text and in substance Mr. Porter says The President made no such comments either to repre- sentatives of the press to individuals Since his inauguration he has adhered strictly to the policy of not talking for publication and this will continue to be the invarable rule in the future Any other course would be injudcious, for reasons which need not be dwelt upon. The same applies to Mrs. Mckinley, who has several times recently been nisquoted as having granted authorized interviews
 The warning is timely and will be well received by the public, and yet in making 1t Mr. Porter guilty of regrettable sin of omission. He should have made his reference to the offending journals definite as he made his denial of their fakes. He should have named the papers that concocted the lies and thus made his warning and rebuke doubly effective.
 MT. Porter doubtless thought the general public would know to what papers he referred without his naming them, and the thought in the main was well founded, but the less would it have been better for him to have been clear and specific. A vague charge leaves certain sense of vagueness III the minds of all who read it, no matter how we'll posted they may be. Moreover lying journalist cares little
  only way to make him vince is to point him out to popular scorn by naming him.
 An illustration of the effectiveness of MT. Porters method of dealing with the evil is to be found in the fact that his statement published yesterday by The Call and the Chronicle, but not by the Examiner. The the latter journal did publish it is be- cause is of the offending journals that circuat ed the faked interview with Mrs Mckinley. This fact however, probably noted by comparatively few persons, whereas, If MT. Porter had named the Examiner and the Journal the fakers of the false interviews the point and object of his statement would have been fully understood by all,
 It is high time for the line between true journalism and the daily publication of lying fakes to be clearly and impressively drawn This can never be done by issuing disclaimers in general terms Men who have occasion to notify the public of faxed and false inter views should neglect to give notice also of the paper that did the wrong. The alleged interview with Mrs. Mckinley was for example gross and indecent outrage and the Presidents secretary in correcting the injury as far he could by denial should have gone further and made the liar that concocted it feel the lash of public by giving both his and that of the journal that employed him to do his dis reputable work

PoSoTFFICE ECONOMIES.

u AMENDMENTS made in the Senate to the ! postofice appropriation bill, though designed ! in the interests of economy, will not be popu- lar with any portion of the people It even doubt ul whether the House will agree to them and prob ably the only effect they will produce will be that ot revivne the discussion over the postal deficit, which occupied so much of public attention during the past winter
 All parties are agreed that the annual deficit in the postal revenues is the result of wastefu methods e- ployed at present, but differences exist as to the proper remedy to apply. In the House two plans ot economy were put forward One of these aimed to reduce the expense of carrying second class mail mat ter by restricting the privilege of that class of postage to legitimate newspapers. The other aimed at re- ducng the cost of transporting all classes of mail by diminishing the rates paid the railroads for ranspor tation Either of these if adopted would have put an end to the deficit but both rejected and the bill went to the Senate framed in such way as to make it certain another deficit would result from the oper ations of the year
 The Senators in seeking economy nave adopted neither of the plans proposed in the House. Their amendments will restrict the postal service in cities by limiting the mail deliveries to number not ex- ceeding four each day, and the country service by striking out the appropriation for rural free delivery This not economy Tn the true sense ot the word but saving of money by lessening the service rendered We are not to have under the Senate amendments more economical administration of the postofice, but cheaper and poorer mail modaton for the people
 Nothing can be said in favor of the reduction in the service except that it will considerable of money, and when the burden of taxes begins to be felt that may perhaps be accounted good gument It will not be forgotten, however, that if
 t At.- ( -.A i have been overcome and the necessity for reducing the service would not have existed As the matter stands the whole question up for reargument and possibly for settlement by plan which will diminish the of the service without in any way diminishing the service itself

NO TIN SOLDIERS.

THERE has been a tendency at times to poke fun
 at the National Guard. Just why this should
 have been has clearly appeared. It is true that who ordinarily devoted to the arts of peace and who don their uniforms generally for parade purposes could not be expected to meet a sudden emergency just trained soldiers would have met it. Their leaders ofttimes have been incompetent The men in the ranks might be willing to obey or ders to the utmost and be ba1ed by weak-kneed off, Cers. Now that the country has made call the of the guard ready and eager They realize that the prospect not for holiday The stern business of confronts them, and they offer themselves. They come freely that the service cannot them all.
 There have been a few instances in which the men have allowed themselves to think that scheme for the advancement of the individual, while, indeed, 1t has a purpose much more serious Some guardsnen in this State, in Colorado, in New York, and possibly elsewhere, have refused to unless they were given the privilege of naming their own officers Happily the vacancy they thought to create filled too quickly<to be appreciabe. It is no time now for og-rolng. War offers no opportunity to the tin soldier. But the young patriots for ward full of courage, brimming with en- thusasm, anxious to endure risk and hardship. The tin soldier may remain at home The boys at the front will not miss him.

SPANISH FINANCTERING.

Is for the purpose of exploiting theories and
 making politics. The fatists propose that the Government shall be left without revenue in this war emergency unless they have their way and try their crude experiments with the public credit The ex- perience derived from the financial legislation of Civil War teaches that the costest method of erner gency nanciering is the issue of legal tender paper as credit notes like the greenbacks. It is also the easiest method for fooing of the people all the time, and all of the people of the tme as 1t did in 1862. The Government must pay soldiers and sailors provide transportation and commssary equip medical staff and hospital corps, buy and munitions of war, build or buy ships and them It must in other words, be continually buying some Ghng and can no control the price of 1t than can private person. When it pays in paper credits
 like the greenbacks the more it issues the less is their purchasing power and the i. has to pay in its promises to pay for what 1t needs to
 As we have said repeatedly, this method doubled the cost of the Civil War. The people have since been paying two dollars for dollar value received together with the interest the dol lar for which they got nothing.
 Now the iatists in the Senate holding back the war revenue bill until they can so amend 1t call for an immediate issue of $I5o,ooo 900 credit notes like the greenbacks They do this i'll order to lend consistency to their incendiary howl about the bondholders. The Government can borrow $5oo,- 100000 on 3 per cent bonds which will sell at premium of per cent, and can with the proceeds buy what 1t needs to carry the war, getting dollars value for every dollar paid But this does not suit the fatists. They have been the most per ssten detracors of Spain and have done most of the inf1ammatory appealing which has excited our people But now taking advantage of the public necessity, they propose to compel the Government to initiate the Spanish financial methods, which part of the evidence of the decay of that nation. They might well insist that the strategic boards of the army and navy initiate the military methods of Spain, and that we adopt her ideas and plans of armament on land and sea.
 The method they propose Is the costest and most extravagant It is adopted by Spain because by that kind of financierng she has so depleted her credit that she has no other resort She is like starving bankrupt who issues his notes of hand and sells them for what trfe they will fetch.
 But we under such necessity. Our credit is high; do not have to resort to the methods of the defaulted and insolvent nations and least of all need we initiate the unhappy and unscienthc methods of our moribund enemy.
 If this Spanish hnancierng succeed in the Senate it will be the beginning of domestic troubles of the
 most serious and far-reachng character It will put upon the President the necessity of vetoing the bn and leaving the treasury without to supply the drain of war, he will be compelled to sign 1t case harm is done to the people and taxpayers than Spain inict if the war to last dozen years.
