THE RUIN OF ENVY
Lesson Which Is Taught BY the Life
and Punishsn ent OF Miriam, the
Sister Of M oSes.

Rev j. A. Maxwell, D. D, of the
First Baptist Church, of Mckeesport,
preached a sermon last Sunday from
the life of Miriam, the sister of Moses.
His subject was THE Ruin of ENVY
He said in part:
Miriam had an honorable part
with her two brothers in leading the
Israelites out OF Egypt. The prophet
Micah tells the Israelites that they
were led out by Aaron, Moses and Mi
RAM. Her counsel was doubtless
continuously sought to carry out the
exodus. Miriam was strong and ser
viceable until envy took possession
Of her heart. Then she became de-
piorably weak. Her brother Moses
married a Cushite woman. This arous-
ed the envy of Miriam. She enlisted
the sympathy of Aaron. These two,
Miriam the instigator, began pro
Wacted detraction of their brother
and sister-in-law. All the mean things
they could say they said. Under the
flood Of vituperation both Moses and
his wife were silent. They awaited
vindication at Gods hands. 1t soon
came, and severe at that. God sent
the foul disease Of leprosy to al1lict
Miriam. She was banishod into the
wilderness. Who can weigh her
hearts sorrow, or measure the length
of those nights, or tell the bitterness
Of hose tears? O, the severity Of the
punishment! How often she wished
that she had controlled her feelings.
But it was too late From the woman
who stood the first among the women
Of Israel she fell until the vilest fed
from her presence crying "Unclean!
Unclean!" How those words cut.
This is the harvest of envy. This
is the fruit Of SANDER. No one can
Willy another without bringing foul
ness upon his own life 10 one can
SANDER another without mourning
moral leprosy From the approach
of the deGamor the redeemed flee,
crying 'UncIean Unclean! Many a
person is strong but his strength is
spoiled by his tongue. He who knows
when to open and when to shut his
mouth has learned one of the greatest
arts OF life. The spirit OF Moses I'M
der this great trial was most admira-
BILE. He made no reply to anything
SAID against himself or wife. They
both waited and endured. To endure
is the best way to cure in many
things. There was a fine chance for
4 fight in Israel, and if Moses had not
had more common sense than good
many people to-day there would have
been a great row. 1t was the for
hearance of two people that saved
the situation. If person is mailSned
by another he can inhict no punish
ment as great as that person will in
fict upon himself, if he is only let
alone. No use to punish some people.
Let them alone and they'll punish
them selves

THE "DIFFUSION" FIASCO.
The Deep Disgust Of Nebraska Democrats
In This Campaign.

"The demopops and popocrats
of Nebraska, have in years past,
fused, confused, refused, and last
week they tried a new system
known as diffused. Under this
new plan there is nothing but
NORWOOD and gall, knife stabs
and salt for democrats to enjoy.
In a word, the twin fakes were
the very worst that has ever been
presented to an intelligent peo-
pie. To pretend to label such a
hideous monstrosity reform" is
in itself monstrous. To brand it
democratic is crime. 1t was
almost bordering on the charac-
ter of a freak to hear populist
delegates yelling slurs upon
Judge Parker, and across the
street to hear democrats yelling
for the endorsement of the popu-
list candidates. 1t must have
been indeed edifying to hear
Tom Watson denounce Bryan tor
supporting the democratic cam
didate for president, and across
the street to hear Bryan pleading
with his political stool-pigeons
to ratify Tom Watson's candi-
dates for state officers. 1t must
have aroused the enthusiasm of
democratic delegates to have
Mike Harrington stand upon
their convention platform and
tell them that eff | had Ia
choose between Roosevelt and
Parker, | rather think I'd go
fishing" The democratic con-
vention must have yelled itself
hoarse when Mike Harrington
yelled to them that "Alton b.
Parker has no more chance of be.
ing elected than have" II
must have been convincing to
the democratic convention that
nothing was left to be done but
indorse the populist candidates
when Mike Harrington stood up
before them and told them that
"as to Roosevelt's election, it's
all over but the shouting" II
must have been the force of Mike
Harrington's logic as he stood up
in the democratic convention and
declared that august Belmont
Parker will never carry Indiana, y
which impelled Judge Howard to

Judge Parker has finally con-
cluded that he will make no
speach making tour, as was out
lined few days ago. This is a
wise conclusion as is evidenced
by his speech of acceptance.
The more he says along the line
of his speech of acceptance the
better it will be for the republic
can party. In speaking of the
government policy towards the
Filipinos his utterances accord
with just what the republican
party has been doing. And
while he advocated revision OF
the republican tariff laws he as
sured the public that under his
administration, should he be
elected there would be no change
of radical nature, as change
could not be made without dis
turbing the finances of the coun.
try and that only such changes
as the republican senate endorsed
would be attempted. His un.
garded statement that the strik-
ers of Cripple Creek were the
instigators OF the mine explosion
is not calculated to make friends
with the unions, which have
from the first denied the charge
and offered 4 reward for the
arrest of the guilty parties.

Judge Sullivan, ex-chief justice
Of the supreme court, in passing
on the validity of the late rev.

we believe the law to be good
one, and to have been framed
with the object of reaching all
property in the state, and to i'm
pose upon all taxable property its
due share of the public burden.
That it may fail in some in
stances does not require us to
condemn it as whole" This
was a honest opinion of demo
cratic judge given in his official
capacity and we anticipate the
attempt of the fusion press to
convince the public otherwise
will not succeed. If it does in
some instances as the judge ex'
presses as possible, a republican
Legislature can better amend il
satisfactorily to the public than
