Moral Progress,

From the Philadelphia Ledcer)
Moral progress may be roughly defined as a
series of changes tending to general welfare and
the improvement of character. No one can look
back upon the history OF the past without seeing
that the trend has been in this prevailing dircc-
ton In spite of much that still brings the blush
of shame 10 checks. the world has been
growing less brutal, less cruel. less vindictive.
and more reasonable and self-controled with the
lapse of time. We could not now tolerate the
savagery, the slavery. the persecution. the re-
venge the malice, the sensiaity which were
once witnessed with the caimest Indifference.
These changes of habitusi action are due to
changes of opinion and feeling. Increasing intell
cence reveals existing evils heretofore unsIs
pected, and discovers new methods OF comprising
the welfare of society. These larger conceptions
of we'll being soon produce the desire to realize
them. and this desire is followed by CORE
spending effort. Thus Judgment. feeling. and ac-
ton work together in every real moral advance;
the head, the heart, and the hand all combine to

Atmosphere of a city.
lErom the New York Tribnnc.

In a paper contributed to ''The Transactions Of
the British Institute OF Preventive Medicine it
is stated that even in a suburb, the dust parti-
cles number 20,0oD per cubic centimetre in
the open air. and 1000 in q,iict room; while
in the city the totals per cubic centimetre
100000 when taken from roof, 100000 in
court, and about 100000 in room: in other
words, the air of the square mile is 900 per cent
thicker than in the suburbs, which is in accord
with the general experience that fogs are both
more dense ard frequent over the centre
than in the outskirts. But what is especially in
teresting in this remarkable paper is the state
ment that though dust is the great carrier Of
micro-organisms, there is only one Of these per
80 100000 of dust atoms. This being so it is
calculated that man could live in the metropo
lis for seventy years. and only absorb come 2o,-
200 Of the microbes into his system from the
air. or about the same number US he drinks in
half pint of unboiled milk.

HEARD Ia THE HOTEL LOBBIESa

Repres ,ntativo Bankhead, OF Alabama
Is at the Riggs House. He is in the city,
for only day or two on private business.
and will leave for his home this week.
Mr.. Bankhead said last night regarding
the recent numerous lynchings in the
Southern States: II am firmly convinced
that the Government made grieyous mis-
take at the first in granting the negro
race the franchise. II the negroes had
been given their liberty and the right
to hold property. but not the franchise,
and there had been i1augurated syste-
matte course of civilization OF the race.
il is conceivable that in the course OF time
it would have been ready for all the rights
of citizenship. The thing that has come
about instead is growing rapidly worse
year by year, and ii now looms up as
portentous and grievous problem to which
we can see no solution. The best minds
of the South give II UP. The two races
are growing more and more restless.
There is a settled determination on the
part of the whites to rule the South. 1t
is possible. and many men believe it in
evitable. that there will be race war.
The conditions of feeling between the
races now and those of ten, or even five,
years ago, are far different far more
strained and dangerous. They suggest
that the next ten years may carry matters
to the breaking point. Many States nave
passed laws limiting the franchlse py
property and educational qualifications
and all the other States will follow this
lead shortly.

Civil ScTvice Reform.-The Civil Service
law was placed on the statute book by the
Republican, party. which has always sus-
tanned it, and we renew our repeated dec
larations that 1t shall be thoroughly and
honestly enforced and extended wherever
practicable.
From NJ. McKinley's Inaugural Address, March
4, 1SJi.)
Reform in the civil service must go Cn.
But the changes should be real and genu-
ine. not perfunctory or prompted by zeal
in behalf OF any party because it happens
to be in power.
AS a member of Congress l voted and
spoke in favor of the present law, and
shall attempt its enforcement in the spirit
in which it was enacted.
The purpose in view was to secure the
most efficient service of the best men who
would accept Office under the Government.
retaining faithful and devoted public serv-
ants in office. but shielding none under the
authority of any rule or custom who are
inefficient, incompetent, or unworthy.
The best interests of the country demand
this. and the people heartily approve the
law wherever and whenever it has been
thus administered.
