 The Philadelphia Press recommends
 that all conductors and motormen on
 electric cars go armed in order that they may be able to defend themselves
 and passengers in case of an attempted
 hold-up of the car by ruffians. Here. in the east armed trolleymen have proved themselves a curse in time of
 labor disagreement and no particular
 help in time of attempted robberies.-

 Lives are measured by their sheer ity of purpose, by the strict adherence to the law of life, and he who violates it must reap the reward. We have all respect for and honor every man who is honest and sincere in his belief, but
 have only pity for those who make a cloak of any institution to cover up rascality or furher their own personal
 wealth or popularity. - Windham

 IThe late Rev George Koenig, a
 Brooklyn clergyman, who was rather
 Puritanical in his views, rebuked' one
 of his parishioners whom he saw with
 her hair profusely curled. '''If the Lord
 intended your hair to curl,' he said, ''he would have curled it for you" Whereupon the young lady replied saucily: He did when was baby,
 but now I am quite able to curl it my self. f."-Philadelphia Ledger.
 The esteemed Springfield Union sug-
 gests: Isn't it about time that our electric cars were equipped with push buttons at each post so that passen-
 ger could signify his desire to have the car stop? As 1t is now, one hates to
 whistle, which isn't always pleasant for a woman, or go through aero batic contortions to attract the atten- tion of the conductor. Many pas senger is carried block beyond his destination The scheme is an excel lent one.-New Britain Herald.
 Tuesday of last week was a busy day in different parts of the United
 States. The governor of Kentucky was hurrying troops into Breathitt county, where reign of systematic assassina- tion'' has existed for many months. AhC OA lAtC OI1lCo hotetASo 5'e"' engaged in preparing strong remon-
 strance to Russia against the barbar- ities committed at Kishineff; and the
 good people of Delaware were burning
 negro alive in Wilmington. The rest of the world may thus learn that while supervising the morals of Europe we are not too busy to attend to our own domestic affairs.-Boston Pilot.
 History again repeats itself. Kroush> evan, the anti-Jew editor who got up
 the massacre at Kishineff, says that he was attacked last week by a party of
 Jews in St Petersburg and stabbed,
 but not fatally. Of course not. Those apostles of hatred are never seriously
 hurt when they get themselves mildly
 advertised for advertising purposes. l The late Justin Fulton, of unsavory memory, was assailed by ''romanists" l 8 score of times at least, always in some remote place, and invariably
 without serious results, So were the l "converted'' priest, Slattery, and many
 others. Chiniquy baffied the murder
 ous assaults of the Jesuits and lived to I be 90. The avocation,~ so far from be-
 ing extra hazardous, is remarkably safe one, for this world, and does not
 entail any fear Of suffering from frost
 ill the fall--Boston Pilot. S
