One of the Disadvantages O
Democracy.

1t is gratifying thing to poor man
to read in the papers that he is just as
good as anyone else 1t is comforting
fact to know that all men have equal
rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness. But the right to equality
and the show of it are different things;
and it is certain that in America to-day
one of the unpleasant phases of demo-
cratic life comes because 50 many of us
are anxious to give visible sign that we
are equal to our neighbors The desire
to become millionaire is not reprehen-
sible, though it is an ambition which
most men are better without. The at
tempt, however, born of the democratic
feeling to live like millionaire on the
income of bookkeeper is distinctly dan
gerous. In Europe, where the people
are used to class distinction, the man of
the middle class, though he may not be
quite satisfied with his position, does
not try to live beyond it. Thousands of
Americans are living beyond their posi-
tions for the sole and inexcusable reason
that they will prove their equality by
making as big a material show as their
neighbors. Not only that, but they are
adding to the expenditure of money the
dissatisfaction and the worry that
follow the attempt to prove ones self

The sooner Americans come to realize
that equality proven by paying out
dollar when they can afford but fifty

and meretricious possession, the better
for all concerned. An American rightly
congratulates himself that his is the op-
portunity to rise as high as ne can, no
matter what his beginning that if he
can prove himself worthy, he may stand
before kings. But he is mistaken, and
takes away from the blessing of the

themselves of their best right-the right

Take Time to Teach The Children


The most lovable and tractable girls
and boys, and who grow up to become
the most respected members of the
community, are those who are required
to shoulder some responsibility and
taught to work, performing such tasks
as are suited to their years and strength.
Work and responsibilities for Young
people suited to their capacities are the
best OF educators, and withal the best
means by which to secure a good physical
development, selfreliance and good
health. The nimble feet and dexterous
fingers OF children may be trained in 100
ways for we'll being and as valued helms
for parents. Some shortsighted parents
neglect to train their boys and girls on
the plea that it is more trouble to teach
the child than it is to do the work them
selves. This is serious mistake A
child may be taught much easier than a
puppy or colt, but there are some who
take infinitely more satisfaction in
teaching young animal than in in
structing their own children, forgetting
that the best products of the farm are
the boys and girls reared upon it. There
is nothing that the father or mother
does that cannot be taught the bow or
girl. What is meant was illustrated by
seeing l2-year old girl set table for
company supper, she attending to every
nice detail of the work as correctly as
would her experienced mother. She had
been taught how Salt Lake Herald.

HELP FOR RUsSIAy WOMEN.

Russia seems to be gaining on it in
many ways. For instance, the i'm
provement in the domestic status of the
peasant women which was made by the
Minister of the Interior not long ago.
There always has been a good deal of
brutality in the Russian PEASANTS
treatment Of his wife, and there was
no redress or escape for the victim so
long as it was obligatory that her name
should be entered in the husbands
passport and papers of legitimation.
She might be abused by an idle and
drunken husband but it was in vain
for her to appeal for protection to the
village elders. The old-time belief still
prevails among the Russian peasants
that a wife, no matter how exemplary
her conduct, must be occasionally
chastised, and that with no gentle

TIE NEW GIRE.

Miss Lucille Hill, the professor of
physical culture at Wellesley college,
makes bold to protest against the play
ing of basket ball by girls. She says
that the prevailing fad just now among
school girls is the basket ball game, and
feels that it is doing incalculable harm,
inasmuch as it results in throwing the
joints out of place and otherwise en-
genders lifelong suffering. Another
thing which Miss Hill deplores is that
the game produces sporty ideas, from
the fact that prizes are the reward of
winning, and that this is not conducive
to the establishing of womanly qualities
in our girls.
This is the voice of one crying in the
wilderness, and will probably be lust
about as effective as the sporadic pro-
tests against the strenuousness of foot
ball. There are old-fashioned people
who will think that Professor Hill is
more than half right. Meanwhile the
athletic and sporty girl will continue
to find favor, even as other kinds of
girls have found favor and will con-
tinue to find favor, world without end,
Amen.

INTEREST," IF NOT IMPORTA Mt.
That is interesting if not important
work which the New York World is
doing. 1t is printing editorials, and
double-leaded ones, in favor of the
nomination of Grover Cleveland by the
Democratic party next year. Yester-
day it wound up it's remarks as fol-
lows: I'm thus giving our reasons for
thinking Mr.. Cleveland to be prospec-
lively the logical candidate and the
strongest candidate of his party we as
sumo. of course, that the Democrats
wish to carry the election-not to main
tain suicidal consistency or to feed
fat an ancient grudge.' Likewise, in
admitting that Mr.. Cleveland does not
seek the nomination, we feel that we
are entirely just to him in assuming
that he would not decline it,
And this wasn't all. The World had
a special dispatch from Princeton
which told about Cleveland's uncom-
monty good health and spirits, his free
dom from rheuma tism, his decrease in
flesh, etc, etc. And these were the
winged words with which Cleveland
was said to have greeted" World re-
porter: Words have been put in my
mouth which entirely misrepresent my
position in politics. never said / had
retired from active politics to act as
the party's adviser. To be thus pictur
ed as an old Brahmin seated in the
background and aspiring to manage
things my own way is alike distaste-
full to me and absolutely false as to my
true position
Of course there is but one meaning to
all this. The question is, how much
meaning is there in it? Further pro-
ceedings will be watched with interest
by Brother Bryan and others.

thread a maze of trains from one end
of the line to the other. all crowded to
their limit. That disaster is so infre-
quent under these conditions is the
great wonder.
Safety demands reduction of the
speed of the fast trains or increase of
the number of tracks for their use. if
there is to be further increase of traffic.
The Pennsylvania is adding two more
tracks to the four It already has be-
tween New York and Chicago, and yet
deems it wise to discontinue it's twenty
hour train for the good Of the other
business of the road. The New York
Central, having an equal number of
tracks, is able to hold its fast train, and
1t is TO be assumed that conditions there
are such as to hold the hazard at a
low point. The tunnel accident of that
road must have taught it the evil of
oVer-presSure. 1t is reassuring, hoWev-
er, to see the railroads willing to sacri-
fee their snowy advertising for the
benefit of the more substantial business
and the safety of their patrons, and it
is by no means an evidence of bad
judgment that such step is taken before
harm is done. The American public is
nervously anxious to get there" when
it starts on a journey. but it would
rather arrive little later in good con-
dition than complete the passage under
the coroner's certificate. Economy and
safety are considerations that must
weigh with railroad managers as we'll
as with patrons.-Portland Oregonian.

PASSENGER SPEED NOT THE
MAIN THING

For some time it has been seriously
questioned by railroad men whether
too much attention is not given to
snowy features of passenger traffic.
Only about twenty-five per cent. of
railroad revenue is derived from pas
sen3er business but the proportion of
expenditure for that service is much
greater. This has been excused on the
ground that the passenger department
Is the advertising end of the railroad,
the assumption being that benefit ac-
crues to the freight department from
money invested in popularizing the pas
senger service. However this may be-
there is a growing disposition to limit
the display and to put money into solid
Improvements. The action, of the Penn
sylvania railroad in sacrificing its fast
train between New York and Chicago
for the benefit of its freight service is
notable instance of the prevailing ten
dency.
The increasing frequency of disas-
trous wrecks is another thing that
brings into question the wisdom of con-
Stunning so much vitality for the snowy
