positively harmful and blighting. No
doubt newspapers by their daily sensa.
tional publication of offenses against
morals and virtue develop or at least
feed the taste for bad reading, and bad
reading, like bad living, is worse than
none. Evil gets into books as readily
as into conversation or conduct. The
bad minded writer puts poison into
his work, and for youths to read what
ne writes is to get the poison.
Books and papers which are inocu-
lated with evil, poisoned with falsity
and wrong, carry corruption into the
minds and hearts of their readers. The
young man who habitually reads books
and papers which fire the passions, cor
rupt the imagination and weaken the
moral sense, will not long have a clean
mind or live clean life. Stories of
passion, adventure, lawessness, base
ness and crime-StOries Of infidelity in
love, recklessness in duty, irregularity
OF life, are Dead Sea poison to the
young SOUL Stories, books and papers
that young man would not read to
his mother or his sister are not fit for
him to read alone.
There is really nothing to be more
dreaded than vile literature. The first
vile book or story read by a young
man often proves "the little pitted
speck in garnered fruit, which eating
inward slowly molders ALL No infiu-
ence to which the youth of this country
are exposed is more pernicious than
the slime and filth which is spread
broadcast by such publications. They
are full of vilest suggestions, they
awaken dangerous impulses, they fan
into flame the latent fires of passion
and lust, they tempt to dangerous and
base associations, to association that
leads to gambling, to drinking, to licen-
tiousness and crime.
The young man who reads in this
direction reads himself into moral
chaos and darkness. A vile book, some
times vile picture, gets into the mind:
it entrenches itself in the Imagination,
where it stays and multiplies, breeding
through the fancy, turning these no.
blest faculties into the agents of per-
dtiOn.
Young men need to guard their
minds against bad reading, as they
would guard their money against rob-
bers aud thieves. 1t is disheartening
fact that the percentage of young
men in this country who read good
books or read any books but those in
which the element of adventure is eX-
cessive, in which the delineation of So
ciety consists of human fraiIty and sin
set in the most favorable light, in
which that is set forth as common
which is exceptional, where the senti-
ment is morbid, where the frailties of
genius or beauty are made to override
the hOmely everyday virtues, where ex-
ceptiOnS are made in favor of immOr-
ality, where the whims of the author
are set down as laws of conduct, where
all the characteristics have common
ground of untruth, and evil is made to
appear the law of society, is painfully
small. Young men who voluntarily
and habitually choose such intellectual
pabulum are rapidly disqualifying
themselves for the responsibilities and
obligations of home, of society and of
citizenship.

Now that the Cortes is closed, it

Senior Gamazo Opposes pursuing the
war until Spain is politically and

The Trusts and the War Tax.

The Republic has this timely re-
minder as to who pays the war tax;
1t appears that John D. Rookie
Teller owns more than so per cent
of the stock of the Standard Oil
Company. OF the 17,795 shares
9,244 are owned by him aud eli
course he receives more than half OF
the net profits. To be sure there
will be the war tax to pay, but this
will not exceed S15O,000, while the
profit to the oil syndicate at ar
advance of one half cent per gallon
or 81 cents per barrel, which would
be a comparatively small "war tax
on the people, would aggregate moi
less than S13,650, 1000. This serve:
to illustrate how completely we are
in the hands Of this trust.

people Of Walker county and compel, II

The governor has had this matter brought

What those people up there need Is nerve.
It is not my duty 10 interfere until a war

diplomatic relations between the middle-of-

under the leadership of Milton Park. Of
Texas, is entrenched at the Thurston Rifles
arrnory, and the liberal wing, with Senator
Marion Butler in command. has strong
position at the Millard- hotel. Acting with
Park are Joseph Buchanan, of New York:
Robert Schilline, OF Chicago, and about a
dozen Committeeman from the South. In
the Butler forces are Senator Allen. of Ne
braska; George T. Washburne, Of Wiscon-
son, and some other committeeman.
The question of a compromise between
the two wings has been the cause of con-
ferences all nights Conciliatory notes from
the Butler wing have been sent to the Park
wing, but the latter has SO far shown no
sign of yielding any part Of its programme.
Mr.. Park to-day announced his undying
opposition to fusion, the refusal to recog-
nize Mr.. Bryan until he renounces his De-
mocracy, and a convention in July, 1888, to
nominate national ticket for the CAM
paign Of 1900.
Park is supported by the members Of the
Reform Press Association. which has Just
concluded its session here. He declares he
will never surrender. As he is certain to be
outvoted in the meeting Of the committee
tomorrow. he threatens to lead revolt.
The liberal wing has not announced what
1t expects to do,. but it is the plan to con-
fer generally on the matters affecting the
party.
