What's In a Hams

Cincinnati, o., July 5.--eWhat's in a
Name?"
Text: Woe unto them that call evil
good. and good evil; that put darkness
for light, and light for darkness; that
put bitter for sweet, and sweet for
bitter.-Isa. $40.
In speaking upon the foregoing
theme and text in his pulpit at the
Vine Street Congregational church,
Herbert S. Bigelow said:
Wendell Phillips, / believe 1t was,
who defined hypocrisy as the hom-
age that vice renders to virtue"
Our text suggests common mani
festation of hypocrisy. The insineer-
ity of an age finds expression in the
names which it uses.
LET us speak plain; lie may Keep,
Its throne whole age longer, ii it
skulk
Behind the shield of some fair-seem-
ing name"
knew this. How labored were the
euphemisms by which they sought to
mask that ugly face! "Patriarchal
institution" peculiar institution
economic subordination;" these are
some of the squirming phrases which
they used. Wendell Phillips used to
tell of a meeting of preachers who
took one OF their number to task for
holding slaves and not being "cour-
ageous enough to say slaves right out
in the meeting, advised him to- get rid
of his impediment." He used also to
tell of Rufus Choate that being Job
liged to refer to the institutions of the
south, and unwilling that his old New
England lips, which had spoken so
many glorious free truths, should foul
their last days with the hated Word,
phrased it-'a different type of indus
try" How these timid souls quaked
at the. harsh true words of Garrison!
To uuMask that hypocrisy was an eK-
ceedingly disagreeable, but equally
necessary task. AS Mr.. Conway has
The independent., 1903-07-09

said: 'It was only when soft phrases
about the evil of slavery which would
pass away mods good time made
way for the abolitionists' denuncia-
tion of the constitution as an agree
ment with hell that the fortress be-
gan K fall In. other words, reforms
arc wrought by those who are in
earnest"
Every apostle OF progress in the
worlds history has had to tear the
livery from the forms of vice. he has
had to brand as crime that which re-
ceived the sanction of law; he has had
to denounce as hypocrisy that which
was paraded as virtue.
This is the meaning of our text
This is the meaning OF the Philippics
of Jesus against the scribes and
Pharisees.
Charles Kingsley said he did not
believe in kicking his congregation
out and locking the door before he be-
gan to preach. But neither did he be-
iieve, in being indulgent to a world
in which cowardice is called meek
ness and temporizers are called char
liable and reverent.
In the eyes of the world it is rude
and unrefDed to call spade spade.
In his essay on Voltaire, John Morley
has drawn faithful picture of the
man of the world.
His inexhaustible patience of the
abuses that only torment others; his
apologize word for beliefs that may
perhaps not be so precisely true as
one might wish, and institutions that
are not altogether so useful as one
might think possible; his cordiality
towards progress and improvement. in
a general way, and his coldness or
antipathy to each progressive proposal
in particular; his pigmy hopes that

1t would be amusing If 1t were not

foil the shafts of criticism by lying
phrases.

When hapless wretch in the Phil
ippines had been given the water cure
until he died, an army surgeon was

But. we had best turn our thoughts
from those unlucky islands. There
are too many examples there of our
hypocrisy. When we read the history
of our career in the Philippines and
the wretched apologies that have been
made for it, and the unctious phrases
which have been borrowed from the
vocabulary of tyrants to conceal the
motives of greed and vain glory, 1t
seems as though it was for us that
those words of Isaiah were written:
"Woe unto them that call evil good,
and good evil; that put darkness for
hight, and light for darkness; that put
bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter. "
Take the word democrat" The
way In which that word is used today
shows a confusion of thought on po-
litical questions, or an amazing
amount of political insincerity-prob-
ably both.
"To be a democrat, socially, means to
Hate all kings, and castles, and rank
of birth,
For all the sons of men arc sons OF
God,
Nor limps beggar but is holy born;
Nor wears slave yoke, nor car
crown,
That makes him less or more than
just man."
To be democrat, politically means
to oppose every legal advantage which
effects an inequitable distribution of
wealth and creates artificial social
distinctions. Yet how often we find
n en- calling themselves democrats"
who are proud not to be OF the COM
mon herd, and who are beneficiaries
and defenders of legal monopolies and
special privileges.
Mr.. Depew says that what the
democrats seem to need in the way OF
candidate for next year is a man
who voted for Mr.. Bryan and believed
the other way. The question of free
silver is undoubtedly not an issue. But
the fight on monopoly is always on. |
Yet they are democrats who will
tell you without any blush of shame
that what they want is man who can
get the votes of the anti-monopoly
reople and the campaign contributions
of the monopolists. Thus the poll
tician would take upon his unclean lips
that fair name democracy, making it |
mean a vulgar struggle for power
when it should mean war upon priv
ilege.

Anthracite coal went up dollar a
