FareWellS!

The words we are compelled to say
when the hour of parting comes bring
to most Of us heartaches and sadness.
When the dark clouds of separation
hover over US; and the heart throbs
with regret; and the soul longs for the
associations of the past; when we
realize that the forming abyss may only
too soon sink us into the depths of un-
certainty, and We cannot understand
the philosophy of separations; then we
begin to think of those who are with
us, things nearby and tangible. This
is the hour when Il. r. BATH, the
PLUMBER, can tell you of the super
iority of the DOUGLAS PATENT
CLOSET. No noise! no annoyance!
and best of all it is GUARANTEED.

of the branches Of the city government.
simultaneously the attention of the
nation has been directed again to re-
ports of extensive frauds in the post
office and in the manipulation OF land
and War Department contracts. In
business circles OF the East there has
ben an amazing exposure, revealing
men holding conspicuous positions in
the financial world engaged in opera
tons scarcely better than those Of
common confidence sharps.
The revelations of individual in
stances of dishonesty have been no
less impressive. The gambling spirit
has been shown to be rife in Chicago,
and to this fact many frauds are at
tributed. Since the first of the year
there have been reported ABB cases of
embezzlement in the nation and ia
such cases in Chicago alone. The ma
jority are attributed to gambling, and
the others to domestic extravaganza.
II may be doubted whether the charge
is true that "extravagant wives are
blameworthy. FOR the 1875 cases OF
embezzlement with which they are ac-
credited. The chances are that where
the wife has reen extravagant IL is be-
D
the confidence TO which she was en-
titled and failed to apprise her Of his
true financial condition. Nevertheless.
extravaganza undoubtedly exists on ~
sides and the longing for the display
OF riches is increasing.
The overwhelming passion for
wealth and for the display of wealth
will have to be checked. In every one
q
for money is the primary impening
motive. Our boasted prosperity" has
increased the craze for sudden riches
until it threatens TO become the domi-
nant influence not only in finance and
politics, but in private and social life.
In part at least. the craving for sell
fish indulgence in money spending is
responsible FOR the disintegration Of
home life and the tendency to race
suicide" Where is the saving agency
which viii hold up to the popular inn
agination some other ideals than those
Of money getting?

Where the Profit comesl

They come. they comel four thousand
strong,
To Gothams wicked walls.
They march like soldiers mid the
throng.
They thunder in its halls.
The Great Elijah heads the band,
BY Heaven he was sent
To build up Zion City
And it pays him 9 per cent?
He'll lead the mighty host in prayer,
Who'll shout their hymns of praise
He'll purify this tainted air.
In less than thirty days.
Enthroned above the suppliant crowd,
His hoary head is bent.
And as he lifts each sinner up
He whispers: Mine per cent?"
His promissory notes fall due
on any Day of Grace
And he can always send them through,
From his exalted place.
Upon the right hand Of the Lord,
He sits in gyeat content
"Be virtuousl" he thunders forth;
1T pays you 9 per cent?"
Eye men OF vice and politics,
Ye laymen, churchmen, heed
We came prepared for all your tricks,
To battle every deed
To fight with Mammon in your streets,
Until his armor's rent
For, understand, we save your souls,
And pay you per cent?
"Oh. gentle women, cast aside,
The worldly things We prize,
And let Elijah be your guide,
From here TO Paradise.
In Zion City-on the road,
Fair pilgrims, pitch your tent,
IT'S on the way to Heaven
And twill yield you per cent!
"Oh. brokers. bankers, men OF means
Not least, though last. we ask,
That when our mighty host convenes,
You'll help us in our task.
Our faith is great-but funds are
short
For any sum that's lent.
Elijahll send his prayers ahead,
And pay you per cent?"

SECRET MEETINGS.

Yesterday we published a letter from
A. S. Reed and ]. b. Bell correcting
certain statements in the Journal rela-
tive to secret meetings Of the Water
Commission. and stating that the man
ner IN which this was put would lead
to the conclusion that the citizens par
ticipated in these meetings. It goes
on to explain that as a matter Of fact
they attended but one Of them.
We do not think st is necessary for
them TO explain. Their course has
been dienIfed and straightforward AS
TO secret meetings Of the Water COM
mission We can only say that several
were held within a few days. and that
the reporters were denied admission
and refused information. We should
not be greatly concerned should It ap-
pear that under such peculiar circum-
stances we had failed-to give an accu-
rate report but there is every reason
for the belief that we are camping on
the trail Of the commissioners. If pub
lie officials wish to be accurately re-
ported they must do their work openly.
Otherwise. in the interests Of the pub
lie, we shall make the shrewdest guess

NEW YoRk,s ATTITUDE.

The New York Tribune sums w the
election result IN New York as follows;
New York is like a dissipated man

low that he ceases to be presentable IN
necent society he pulls himself together
ana resolves to walk I'm the straight
pain but he is no sooner In good trim
once more than humdrum honesty and
responsibility pail upon him and the
temptation for his old ways is simply
Irresistible.
IL insists that Low was not defeated
because OF his personality. but because
he gave New York the best administra-
ton It ever had. and the people did not
want It. Mr.. Low was elected two
years ago on a reform ticket, pledged
to certain specific things. He has car
ried out his pledges as faithfully as n
man could. and there has been no Sc
rious pretense that he has not.
As the Tribune remarks: 1.-THE SIM
pie fact is that he gave New York too
good a government" that IS, better
government than the people wanted,
and they prefer to try Tammany
awhile. OF course this is very discour-
aging but the hope lies in the fact
that another reform wave is possible,
