 Politics has become profession and because it has been debauchea by an ambition for power and for financial gain, tricks which are not vain nor respectable nor honest. are employed to secure office. The politics of the time are built on corruption. Honesty and upright ness are no longer considered esen- tial to good government. Economy and fair dealing have been relegated to campaign speeches and the peo- pie continue to he satisfied with the threshlng of old straw in every campaign.
 In small cities the duties of the municipal officers are not so oner- ous that their whole time must be devoted to the performance of them. There is in every such community men who can easily do honor to city offices and yet not neglect their private business. The gain under such circumstances will accrue not only to themselves. and far in excess of what the stipulated salary Would amount to during the course of a term, but also to the credit of the people and 10 tte value of all individual holdings, In many in- stances municipal officers are but figure heads. They are always on dress parade. The actual business of the day eaa be transacted m an hour or two and the pay is usually greatly in excess of the service rendered.

Afghan Justice.

Not many years ago a queens mes senger or some such official was robbed though not injured in any way, on his road to Cebul, Afghanistan, and the British government, of course, wrote to complain. No reply was received for months, but, at last, the Ameer wrote: "The matter you mention has been thoroughly investigated, and not only have the robbers of your messenger been put to death. but all their chil- dren, as well as their parents and grandparents. hope this will give satisfaction to her majesty Queen vic- toria." The satisfaction of the queen may be imagined Baltimore News.

May Turn Night Into Day.

A New Orleans architect has adyanc- cd the novel idea that within the next fifty years the people of every large southern city will do most of their sleeping by day The reason of this Is the increasing eheapness of artifi- eial light and the peculiar climatic con- ditions of the south, which make the night the coolest and most comfortable time to work. The author of this idea claims that darkness is one of the forces of nature against which civili- zation wages war; that it facilitates crime and impedes travel and .puts arbitrary limits on human exertion."

AN INTERESTING
EXPERIMENT.

St. Joseph, Mo, is to be the sub- ]ect of an experiment. which will be and should be watched with much interest, says the Ft. Smith News Record.

He ean see but one salvati9l for the credit aud progress of the city. and that is to reduce expenses 10 a minimum and spend the municipal income 10 the direct benefit of the city. He set bis proposed reform in motion by declaring that he him self would serve without salary, and in addition to that he has sue ceeded iG inducing men of means to accept anpointive offices without salary.
