POOR MEN AND PUBLIC OFFICE.

The governor of Kansas holds that no who
is not sufficiently we'll provided with this worlds
goods to be independent and free from care for the
future has any business in public office, and he has
announced that he will appoint no man who has not
something LAID away for rainy day.
This is no new theory 1t Is all active principle
in many governments. 1t was formerly contended
in our own country and it is still the law in few
states that man without fixed amount of prop
erty is not entitled even to vote.
The Kansas governors concern for the poor
man, whom he thinks cannot afford to serve the
public, is very touching, but he overlooks the fact
that it is the rich man, not the poor man, who
makes financial sacrifice holding public office.
The salary is insignificant in the mind of a rich
man, but to the poor 1t not only is needed, but
seems prncey income. The rich man feels that
he is making a sacrifice or pretends that he does,
in holding public office. The poor man makes no
secret of the fact that he considers it "snap."
From the financial standpoint of ofice-hoders
themselves it must be quite clear that poor man
can better afford to serve the public than can one
already engaged in a more profitable business.
Besides the man who is not independently
wealthy is the nearer to the everyday life of the
people, the more IN sympathy with their difficulties
and wants and the better judge of their needs.
The assumption that public official will be the
honest for being above the needs of providing
for the future is too silly for consideration.
There is an indication that the governor of
Kansas has fallen into the old theory that govern
men is designed to look after the rights of the rich
and that the rich will then look after the poor
With only rich in office the tendency
would be clearly toward government of the rich,
by the rich and for the rich, while the devil could
take the poor.
The Kansas governor should not worry about
poor not being able to afford to hold public
office. They cannot afford not to.

TWO TYPES OF PREACHERS.

The one man in Wilmington, Del, who is freely
given great degree of credit for the fit of hystera
that resulted in the recent lynching is Rev Robert
A. Ewood. He has been investigated by his pres
bytery. He ought to have been unchurched but
was let off with an explanation.
Next to the leaders of the mob themselves he
is the one most directly responsible. He preached
the sensational and nfammatory sermon in favor
of lynching. For once, at least, this hitherto OBJ
preacher enjoyed influence and triumph
The public practced what he preached.
ooh, honorable iudges!" he cried to his congre-
CATION, among whom he had first delivered leaves
stained with the blood of the murdered girl. Call
the court and impancl the grand jury, establish
precedent and the girls of this state, the wives of
the homes and the mothers of our fresdes and our
beloved sisters will not be sorry, and neither will
you"
1t would be consoling to believe that man capa-
BILE of desecratng pulpit with such maudln emo
tonalism could have influence But the truth
is the shocking outrage against civilization, which
took place within 30 hours after the delivery of this
sermon, had scarcely been thought of prior to the
wide announcement of his topic: 'Shall the Muir
derer of Miss Bishop be Lynched?" The minister s
name and sentiment were mingled with the execra-
tions against the murderer for the mobs encourage
ment.
Had the Rev Mr.. Elwood used his opportunity
to utter instead, those conservative, cItizen-lke
and Christian councils for which the public is accus-
toned to look to the pulpit, the horror might have
been avoided.
On the other hand the father of the Inflated
GIRL also clergyman, although bowed by the grief
brought to him by the agOnizing fate of his child,
addressed letter to the public remarkable for its
fine feelings and the purity of the sentiments its
pressed, in which he implorei them to let the law
take its course and not to make crime pretext
for another.
If any man had right to disregard law and or
der and demand fendish vengence, this was the
man. Yet he did not forget that first of all he
owed his influence toward maintaining the integrity
and self respect OF the community.
The two preachers may be regarded as types,
neither of which is uncommon.
The man who advocated mob.vioIence may have
been sincere, but he is not right thinker and is
swayed by emotion rather than controlled by iudg-
ment. He is not fit instructor in public morals
His church would have done the proper thing had
it deprived him of his Office
Rev. Mr. Bishop stands for sanity under intense
excitement and is capable of subordinating personal
resentment to respect for the higher interest of the
public. He stands with small minority, but it is
a minority that, everywhere and in every age is the
force that advances civilization, promotes human
progress and elevates public morals.

The Gift OF Time.

The years bring wisdom, though at times
Their discipline is hard to bear;
Relief through death may often seem
The only answer to our prayer.
Yet certain blessing shall descend
On those who bide in faith aud trust;
More clearly shall the light of time
Reveal the truth that God is just.
A calmer judgment, humber mind
And wider hope, the years will bring;
While charity, the bond of peace,
From deeper founts of grace will spring.
For sins and errors of the past
New conservation shall atone,
Till with perfected life we tread
The sea of glass before the Throne.

The New Woman.

The following satire on the modern woman writ

the Marshall. Mimi, Women's club:
make not my Fathers house house of merchan-
disc" (St. John H. 6.)
o Lord, come to Thee in prayer more
But pardon if | do not kneel before
Thy gracious presence, for my knees are sore
With so much walking. In my chair instead
I'll sit at ease and hulnbly bow my head.
I've labored in Thy vineyard Thou dost know;
I've sold ten tickets to the minstrel show;
I've called on fifteen strangers in our town,
Their contributions to our church put down;
I've baked pot of beans for Wednesday S spree,
An old-time supper it's going to be;
I've dressed three dolls. too, for annual fair,
And made a cake which we must rattle there,
Now with Thy boudless wisdom, 50 sublime
Thou knowest that these duties all take time;
have no time to fight my spirits foes
have no time to mend my husbands clothes;
My children the streets from morn till night;
have no time to teach them to do right;
But Thou, 0 Lord, considering all my cares,
Wilt count them righteous, also heed my prayers.
Bless the bean supper and the minstrel show,
And put it in the hearts of all to go.
Induce the visitors to patTonize
The men who in our program advertise;
Because I've chased these merchants till they hid
Wheneer they me cOming-yes they did.
Increase the contributions to our fair,
And bless the people who assemble there.
Bless Thou the grabbing and the gypsy tent
The flower table and the cake that's sent;
May whist club be to service blest,
The dancing party, gayer than the rest;
And when Thou hast bestowed these blessings, then
We pray that Thou wilt bless our souls. Amen.

which inspired the resolution, and.wheu
uttered by the grand master received
ringing cheers Of approval lie spoke
as follows:
"The question Of It's ability to pro-
tect its working agreements is now a
prominent factor In determining the
responsibility Of a labor organization
in the business and employing world,
The organization that represents en-
plCyes in making an arrangement that
Is acceptable to them and shirks re-
spOnsbilty when individuals or rivals
disturb the peaceful relations between
employees and employer Is not Of the
type that will command confidence In
our progressive civilization ana the en-
llghtened trend Of the relations between
capital and labor
while the question Of the protection
Of the labor contract Is in It's infancy

been such heavy purchases of gold dust
as yesterday, which was the banner

the two banks here, TO say nothing Of
the hundreds Of thousands left on de-

half a million dollars.
Today the purchases are not quite so
heavy as were those Of yesterday, al
though for the two days they will ag-
gregate from 100000 to 100000. This
amount in connection with the large
amounts deposited at the banks for safe
keeping, will aggregate upwards Of 81
100000 worth Of gold dust brought into
Dawson from the various creeks in the
short space Of two days, Compared
with this time last year, the receipts OF
gold at the local banks to date this
