Others have brutalized themselves by being pulled
out of the gutter "dead drunk" and then paraded be-
fore the public through the press. Such unusual
incidents place the pardoning power in a very
barrassing position When this is done, almost be-

not believe that anyone is SO low in morality to

ASSUMED VIRTUES.

SOME one has said: "Assume a virtue, if you
have it not" One may search the tones of philos-
ophy from alpha to omega and we doubt whether
the student will find sentence that teaches such
falsity as is contained in the above line which
we have quoted. There is mistaken it's meaning.
It tells those who read it in plain AngloSaxon Ian
guage that they should practice hypocrisy. It tells
them to assume virtue whether they are in the
mood to respond to it not. 1t is not the number
of virtues which display that attracts the atten
ton of others, but rather the spirit that prompts
and the character that predominates throughout
virtues that either lends Respondent halo to them
or else mars them.
How repugnant it is to of righteous
ness to see drunkard, from whose lips drop the
vilest of language, enter church and instantly
sumo long, sanctmonious spiritual look His con-
duct would hardly be commented upon if his past
had not been exact parallel with his present life
He is assuming virtue which is foreign to his char
|acter Such procedure is commonly designated as
hypocrisy and Justly So The man who assumes
virtue, of whatsoever nature in order to allay your
watchfulness in order that he might gain your
fdence for the purpose of betraying you, outrages
that virtue in order to satisfy the base cravings of
his nature.
Artifciality needs stimulus from phoso-
pliers to cause it to flourish Its hydraheaded fea-
lures can be recognized on every hand.
Those who have studiously become adopts in
practicing the materiaistc instead of conforming to
the realistic traits which nature has abundantly
endowed them with, need no other badge than the
selfsame artifcality which they to affect in
order to unmask them. Their unmusical laugh be-
trays them quickly as the thunderbolt warns us
that the lightning shaft has struck terra hrma There
is as much difference between the assumed smile and
the genuine as there is between the walk of blind
man and one who is not blind. The blind man who
takes walk does so with labored effort and is
glad when it is ended. The person who assumes
smile, does so with more less effort and, doubt

on them in order to detect the paucity Of sincerity

IF assumed virtues were severely rebuked as
often as they were discovered, we are inclined to

the most effective remedy for coughs
of every kind and in every stage.
One of the most annoying coughs is
a throat cough, where you have that
constant tickling in your throat. 1t
comes on worse at night, keeps you
awake, and makes you have that
smothered feeling in tho chest. 1t
hardly seems possible what one dose
of Cherry Pectoral will do for this
kind of a cough, it brings such marked
relief.
Put mp in large and small bottles.
When the cough gets down deep in
the chest and the lungs are painful,
put one of Ayers Cherry Pcctoral
Plasters directly over the tender lung.
1t will draw out all the soreness.

American Fedora ton of Labor.

The American Federation Of Labor,
which now numbers about 100000
trades unionists, held its first session
at Pittsburg, Pa, in 1881. Ninety-six
labor organizations were represented.
At the next session, in 1882, Samuel
Gompers was elected president. He
has been successfully elected, with the
exception of one term, to that office
since 1882. 1t is not without reason
that the members of this vast fedora
ton have been inspired with conf
dence in the ability and devotion OF
their officers. All of these latter are
working chiefs of the most successful
national unions, and as such have
proven their capacity before being
promoted to their present positions.

But the machine is there. Shall he
turn to furniture making? The ma
chine stares at him there also. Shall
he turn to farming? He has neither
land nor capital, and capital is re-
quired to get machinery to compete
with the bonanza farms. Wherever
he turns his hands he finds thousands
striving for the same thing. Some say
that socialists are opposed to machin-
cry, and that they trace the misery to
the machine itself. No! Machines are
blessing to society, If owned by the
people as a whole, but curse If owned
by individuals, and as long as those
machines are owned by individuals
there can be no unity. All working
men must unite and vote to own the
machinery and work 1t comparatively.
1t is the only way to get rid of strik-
ing, riots, boycotts, corrupt politics
and poverty. To cast your vote as a
body? We certainly must do so, If
we ever intend to emancipate our
selves. But to vote for any capable
man, no matter what party he belongs
to, will never do. Vote to own the
machines, and we will have means
enough to help the oppressed that are
coming here to seek their livelihood.
We cannot do anything now, for we
have hard job keeping ourselves"

D. M. Sachter, of Dubois, Pa, says in
Pennsylvania Grit: II would like to
give a socialists view. To call off all
strikes? No, sir! We must strike,
but not the old-fashioned way, in riot
ing and boycotting, etc. We must
strike intelligently and strike only one
day in the year, and that is on election
day. Strike for your own interests,
and not those of your masters. To &C.
cept the best terms of our employers?
Has the proletariat ever had its own
way? Have not the majority Of
strikes been settled at the employees
own terms? To put every man to
work you can find place for? Yes,
sir; that is very well, but there are
not enough places; the labor market is
packed with idlers; the labor-saving
machine has taken their places. Some
will say: Cant a man who is displaced
by machinery turn to something else?
Well, shall he turn to shoemaking?

A notable sign of the times in Cuba
is seen in Spanish immigration. In
the first four months of this year
nearly six thousand Spaniards came
over from Spain, to settle in the ISL
and. It is also observed that few of
the Spaniards who were in Cuba be-
fore and during the war have departed
because of the change Of government.
They, as we'll as the new immigrants,
seem to have faith In the peace and
prosperity of the island. Doubtless
this is largely because the power OF
the United States is exerted in Cuba,
to restrain party hatreds and to pro-
mote the general welfare. That fact
is fine tribute to the benefcence OF
our intervention in Cuban affairs. It
also fixes upon us heavy RESPONSE
bility for the future of the island.
