The London Daily Mail finds that
modern life tends to make us all lazy
that people will no longer read poetry
because it requires effort; will no
longer row boats, dance dances or take
a game Of whist seriously. And liz
this change there turks a certain
amount of truth. The modern man
will show you plenty of energy when
he thinks it useful in his affairs. II
he will not read poetry he will at least
spend weary hours writing it, for the
sake OF the magazine EDITORS check.
IL he will not dance he will buy up
whole theatrical troupe and wear him.

use in his business. The fact is, the
modern man is desperately lazy when
he is not doing something.

Praise God, the grafters Of all classes
are. few in number, but they live and
thrive in every community. They are
the chiefest danger Of the state to-day.
They seek to poison the very sources
of free government. The surest way
to check their deyilish Vaccinations is
to SO infiame the public mind against
them that good men and women every
where will spurn them as the thief, the
burglar and the highwayman are
spurned This would be more effective
than amendatory statutes that are to
be interpreted by the courts.

A Chicago clerk who stole $4,000
from his employers at the rate of 500
a day gave as his excuse that he spent
the money living like white man."
and that "a white man cannot live on
SO week" Like all excuses for steal
ing, this is a poor one. If there are
any comparative degrees In excuses
for stealing, this is about the poorest
one that could possibly be offered. For
it is an incontestabie fact that the
color Of q mans skin has nothing to
do with the necessary cost Of his liv
ing. 1t is equally incontestable that
no man who spends 500 a day is liv-
ing like a white man." particularly
if he steals the money. There is an
old tradition Of thief who pleaded:
But, your honor, | must iiye! II
fall said the judge, ito perceive the
necessity" That may be a harsh judg
ment. A thief may have the right to
live, but he certainly has no right to
live like a white man. on stolen
money at the rate of 500 day. One
thing that this apologist overlooked
was the fact that neither the common
raw nor statute requires a man to re-
main in q position where he is paid
only So a week. He was quite free
to find some other employer, if he
could, who might pay him according
to his own estimate of the value Of
his services. But that he would find
one to pay him 500 q day is doubtful.
He no doubt has an exaggerated idea
Of his own Importance. The excuse,
II couldn't live on my pay is worn
threadbare. IN this instance, as in
most others. it is lie. Many white
men" live for less than 50 4 week. It
is always bad policy for an employer
to pay less than living wages. But it
is even worse policy for an employee to
imagine that he has any right to spend
more money in living than his services
are worth, when offered in the highest
market

entertaining sort of fellow. We admit
that he is very bad, but we lunch with
him, smoke with him at the club ana
even 60 to church with him. What
ever we may think about him, our ac-

his offenses very trivial things, which

deal vigorously with the CRATER until
we are fully conscious that it Is not

HEARST AND THE OTHERS.

A great many able and cheerful
prophets in this country are busy pre-
1ctine the nominee Of the Democrat
lie convention for the presidency but
the slower minds Of the party have
not yet Travelled 50 far and are still
wrestling with the problem Of whether
the convention is going to be contoll-

auences. That perhaps is the first
question to be solved. When the tenn
per Of the convention shall have been
determined then will come the detail
of selecting the man to suit the sen
timent
Just now it is evident that there are
two quite distinct elements at work
in the party: The Bryan-Hearst fol.
lowing. to be found in the middle
vest, with g scattered representation
in the east; and the conservative
forces with headquarters in the east
and much fancied by a considerable
body of the party throughout all parts
Of the country.
Il is vel understood that Hearst is
to have the support of Bryan, The
newspaper man supported the Nebrask-
IN through two campaigns at some
sacrifice to himself. and if there is to
be a reciprocation of favors the time
has come to deliver the goods, Hearst
is not without a sincere support else
where. Here in Memphis one one Of
the leaders of the Democracy in this
part of the state has confessed his ad-
miration for the man and deplored
the opposition to him. A similar SEN

and the disgruntled of all sorts.
