ty Of service uncovers the good Samar-
itan in men whom we have long classed
with the Levites it also brings out and
emphasizes the fact that there still re-
main in the world the descendants of
those priests and Levites passed by
on the other side. Nowhere was this
more strongly Illustrated than by the
recent action in the house of Repre-
sentatives Underwood of Alabama and
Shackelford of Missouri. Underwood
refused to permit the passage of an APP
preparation bill in aid of the stricken
people on Martinique. In this he was
ably supported by the Missouri con-
gresham, who sneeringly asked If
these sufferers were not French sub
iects and their succor the duty of
France.
The action and remark We're worthy
of the policy of obstruction they repre-
sent as members of their party, but
the abiect and ignoble niggardliness of
it all reflects upon the American peo-
ple almost as much as it does upon the
individuals responsible for the utter
ance of sentiments 50 entirely foreign
to humanity and upon the partisan or
ganization responsible for the election
of such men to the congress of the
United States. Thousands of human
beings were lying crisped and burning
in the holocaust on Martinique when
these men misrepresented the civiliza-
ton of the United States before the
ewes of the world Thousands of 9th
ers were in deadly peril. Women ana
children were starving. In the face or
a horror unparalleled in century
these representatives of the political
sentiment and intelligence of the states
of Missouri and Alabama held horri-
fed nation back from the work of res
cue.
Only southern congressman could
have remembered at such time that
the people of Martinique are black. The
great heart of the people recognizes no
color to suffering. Only q democrat
could halve continued policy of OBJ
struction in the face of a calamity
which destroyed cities and the crying
need for rescue and assistance. The
southern congressman is the shame OF
the United States and the disgrace of
the democratic party. When Tillman,
Shackelford, Underwood and their ilk
have taken the places of Clay, Calhoun
and Benton the southh must keep its
pride in the past at the expense of Its
hone for the future. Its chivalry has
gone with its greatness. The southern
congressman brawls on the streets and
in public cafes, where the fire eater OF
the old days faced his enemy with pis-
tolls at ten PAGES. He busters and
boasts of murder and fraud on the
floors where Hayne and Webster
crossed the swords of argument in an
intellectual duel of states. Braggadocia,
buster, jack knives and niggardliness.

A DIseRAcEFuL REPRESENTATION,

Great calamities are the signals for
great liberalities. A disaster like the
one in Martinique touches not only the
worlds heart but loosens It's purse
strings as well. The touch of nature
that empathizes the kinship of the
world is an open sesame to it's strong
boxes and storehouses as web as to its
sympathies. 1t is to the infinite credit
of humanity that this is true.
But while disaster develops liberality
in unexpected places and an opportuni-

Mary Maclane, who, whether she be
fool or genius, is receiving at the
present time the attention of the read
ing public, is probably not half so re-
Imarkable as has been made out by the
enterprising firm which has published
her book. She isn't half as shocking as
she might be. And when she does say
something rather shady it lacks the
greater virtue of being original. The
one thing in her book which every one
seems to agree upon as shocking FOR a
young girl to utter is that she declares
she hates good people and loves the
ruler of the darker world. Yet who has
not heard tie clever remark of the
woman who said when she died she
would much prefer to go to hell, for
tho the good people might go to heaven
she thought it would be very stupid
there. with all the aristocratic people in
the other place. The toothbrush hating
and devil loving Mary should have
learned before writing her book, that
the objectionable sin in writing is one
of omission-the not being original.
