fagrantly and corruptly betrayed the trust

mined to protect then, at all hasards.
Hence. we reiterate that there Is reason
to hope that the Council will recede from
its indefcnsible posiion-that the OPPOSE
ton will vote for the second Minor reso-
luton. For 1t is clear that further at
tempt to maintain that position will re,
fleet lastfngly upon every member who
does not concur. no matter how innocent
he may be, and place hin, under the ban
OF disqualification of ever serving the
PEOPLE again. That is the complexion to
which the Executive Committee OF the
Citizens Union has brought the matter
and to which it was justified in bringing 1t,
TO the end both of cleansing t..e present
Council OF any rottenness that may exist
in It. and insuring against bribery and
corruption in future Councils.

AS to the matter Of weighing coal. !"
which is one Of the issues between the
Pennsylvania miners and the operators,
the coal trust asserts that the Fictitious
ton of 5000 pounds or more demanded
from the miner is barely sufficient to pro-
duce 2.240 pounds of prepared coal"
Even, however. if this be true, comments
the Philadelphia North American, it is
not a valid excuse for refusing to pay
the miner for all the coal he produces.
Sizes of coal smaller than chestnut are
not classed as prepared" After obtain
ing from the fictitious ton delivered by
the miner a full 2,2i0-pound ton of pre-
rared'' coal, the operator turns the al
legged waste into pea" and "buckwheat"
coal, and sells it at a good price. All
that the operators receive for the smaller
sizes is clear profit, and it is taken from
the pocket of the miner
If the North Americans explanation Is
correct, and we see no reason to ques-
ton its correctness, certainly it would
appear that as to the coal-weighing ques-
ton, the miners have decidedly the better
side of the controversy.

DON'T FLY TOO HIGH.

From the days of the tabled flight to-
ward the sun. humanity has repeatedly
found that there is danger In flying too
high
This. NY story of the migrating geese
and ducks, plainly teaches that there is
also very great risk in flying too low.
especially at night
Speaking of birds and flying, l am re-
minded of the autumn brides that tHroug

In the absence of our national Congress
Washington is comparatively dull sight

ton OF the spirit Of evil is like that of
the most holy: Thou nearest the sound
thereof, but canst not tell whence it
cometh or whittier it goeth. Yet present
ly. the countenance the voice, the gait,
the whole bearing, betrays me cnaracser
of the life that possesses the man. a lit
tie leaven leavens the whole lump, and
very little vileness makes a whole nature
offensive.
It is not hard to pass in a crowd, but
as soon as one is indiv!duaiized the true
character appears-stands confessed.
The light Of life will not allow vileness
to stay concealed. That works itself to
the surface. And natures thousand po-
lice officers stand ready to arrest and to
punish offenders before they know what
hurts them.
A kindly and philosophical man, con-
WINGED of the irresist bic and unavoidable
vindca ton Of all the laws of nature
which are identified not only with homes
ty and fair dealing. but with all the
decencies and proprieties Of life, will feel
more of compassion than indignation
against INSIDERS. Continuances and de-
lays do not mean escape from Natures
laws. y law broken is a stitch dropped in
her web. and can not be picked up. All
things are adjusted for the rule of right,
and all nature consplres for the mainte-
nance of law and order. and for the pun
ishment of law breakers.
It is the order Of Nature that all things
work together for good for them that do
well. And all things move on .to1ards
final harmony; and all things work to
punish the guilty. That great truth APP
pears in the triumphant hymn of the uni
verse at the last: We give Thee thanks
Lord God Almighty who art and vast
and art to come because Thou hast taken
unto Thee Thy great power and hast
reigned. So says the poet addressing the
heavenly bodies:
In your harmonies sublime
1 read the doom of distant time,
That mans degenerate soul from crime
Shall yet be drawn,
And reason DER this mortal cline
Immortal dawn.
The thirty-seventh Psalm is a sort Of
moral and intellectual bath that every
businessman should take daily before
going forth to work Fret not myself
because Of evildoers For they
shall soon be cut down like the grass,
and wither as the green herb.
s Law reigns. Those that resist are pun
ished in the course of things. The old
teaching is the best: Keep innocency and
take heed to the thing that Is right. For
that shall bring a man peace at the last.

1t is too early to ask why we do not

many of our people go away because the

such a dirty city.
Surely the busiest month is the time
when laying of dust by artificial means is
