The way the grating situation is
being shown up all over the country
is indeed slckening. 1t brings to
mind the query If there is any hon
esty in the men who axe trusted
with funds. From n end Of the
country TO the other details are be.
ing given to the public which is
amazing and the wonder is that these
fellows have been allowed to pursue
their methods without being discov-
cred long before. Jhe age for money
making seems to be going at such a
swift pace that n fellow loses sight
of the other in the race. Bringing
the finances OF the country down to
a quieter basis, with not so much
furry, not so much headlong madness
in the whirlpool, not so much desire
to make a million in a minute will
doubtless have a tendency to absorb
the desire to corner every dollar in
the country within a given time.

The Ruling Passion.

The ruling passion is often very
strong in death. A senator from Ten
nessee discovered this ONE years ago.
Among his constituents was a certain
man who came to him regularly twice
a year for the purpose Of obtaining a
pass to Baltimore. The man and his
family had served the senator when he
was first making his way up the ladder
Of politics, and as a result Of this he
always obliged him, and had, more
over, a soft place in his heart for the
man. He obtained for him a position
in one of the departments at Washing
ton; but this did not seem to be
enough, for regularly at the end Of
each six months he applied for his
ticket to Baltimore. One day he sick
ened and was reported to be dying.
The senator, very much grieved, i'm
mediately called upon him.
Joe" he said. leaning over and
speaking very softly, sis there any
thing l can do for your
The sick man looked up with a flash
Of recognition, and instantly replied
in a whisper:
"Yes, senator; please get me a pass
to Baltimore. "-Harper's Weekly.
