THE SPIRIT OF LAW.BREAKlNo,

Mrs. Nation-that fanatical Tartar
who has been raising such ruction in
Kansas-is we'll named, since the law.
less spirit with which she does hel
work may be said to be our national
spirit. Probably it is also universal
spirit; but there appears to be nc
country which so fully exempli6e. it
as our own, where contempt for the
law has so much OF official sympathy
as to forbid its punishment, and hence
to invite its continuance.
Liquor selling being unlawful in
Kansas, and the police authorities ex-
erting no effort to prevent it; Mrs.
Nation begins crusade against it;
and here, again, it appears that the
police authorities ale spellbound; and
so she goes on her way rejoicing, fire.

with unrestrained opportunity to con-
tinue her defense Of the liquor law Of
Kansas by violating other laws. OF
course, she must have the sympathy
OF the people, else would her career be
mighty brief. And it is this popular
sympathy with law-breaking that is
its life.
These lawless deeds are done pre-
tendedly in defense of the law, but
really in satisfaction Of personal feel
ing; and they differ but very little
from the other varieties of law. break
ing that are habitually committed to
crafty personal desires and ambitions
of any other character. The plain
fact is that the law is not supreme,
and is not respected as such. The
criminals who are caught under its
harrow are the few, the guilty who
escape are the many; which is con-
dition of things that cannot long en-
dure among verile people.
Judge Lynch is indebted to the same
power for the holding OF his courts,
which SO frequently illuminate our
history with their bloodthirsty law
lessness, that no official power has yet
been found to punish, though prac.

and accompanied with burnings and
barbarities which one would think
would be revolving to any civilized
community, and which would there.

perpetrators into the hands of justice.
The law must be respected. 1t
must secure honesty and liberty. 1t
must give every man protection in his
life and in the pursuit OF his occupa-
ton, as it has promised. 1t must
subdue the influences that Cypress
mankind. 1t must give us what it
taxes us to pay for-protection for
what we have and an equal chance to
attain what we desire. When it thus
wins the title of respect, lyn chings
and mobbings and smashings and all
such barbarities will cease.

RICHES.

The lust for riches and the ways of
some OF the wealthy has been so wide
ly published as to set all Americans
to contemplating anew the money
laden class that any man suspects and
criticises-until he chances to become
Il member OF it. The contemplation,
says the Saturday Evening Post, will
do no harm in the long run. but con-
trariwise, much good, for it is impos.
sible not to see much in wealth be-
sides tendency to luxury and osten-
tation.
A list OF the rich men of any city,
country or state will show that many
OF the wealthy, even majority, live
plainly, and are no more self-indulgent
than some Of their neighbors who live
so closely from hand to mouth that
frequently the hand strays into other
mems pockets and bank accounts.
Dealers in champagne and terrapin,
diamonds, fine yachts, and fast horses,
would tumble into the pit of insol-
vency were they to depend on the pat.
ronage of men really wealthy.
Aside from this, riches have some
ways OF their own that are peculiarly
significant. From the grand old book
that tells us "The love of money is
the root OF all evil" we learn also that
the fool and his money are soon part
ed, and that riches have wings. The
world has deduced from its own obser.
walton the saying that any foo! can
make money, but only a wise man can
keep it. To have his swing in Wall
street is the consuming desire Of every
man with the money craze in his
blood and brain, yet most of the lex
kings OF Wall street" died poor unless
they had other sources of income;
their living successors dare not try to
retire by converting their holdings
into cash.
Outside of Wall street the final ex-
perience of thousands Of envied men
have been similarly bad; an ex-million-
aire, once supposed to be the shrewd-
est of the shrewd, is keeping cheap
restaurant in Boston, another is an
object OF charity in Chicago, and
many monetary meteors as to whose
name LUCKY" was prefixed few
years ago would exchange all their
luck that remains for permane mt
assurance against the wolf at the door.
To "hitch your wagon to star"
may be as laudable in finance as any
other business, but the higher and
more rapid the star the mo re disas-
trous the drop when anything chances
to break, as things often do when a
ton or more of gold is straining at
them, and when there is no better
mending material at hand than several
pounds Of overused gray matter in an
overconfident head.
1t is to be hoped that wealth, % all
