DIDN'T VOTE AS THEY PRAYED.

The following editorial from Lesle's
Weekly should serve as food for
thought for all people who vote one
way and pray another:
ministers and laymen of many of the
Philadelphia churches are praying for
the conversion of the mayor of that
city, Mr.. Weaver, and that he will BAN
ish vice from the Quaker City. A great
religious revival is said to be sweeping
over the town, manifestation similar
country are experiencing. We have no
desire to discourage the prayers Of the
righteous, for they are still of much
avail, but we hope that we will not be
regarded as intrusive or skeptical when
we ask the good men and women of
Philadelphia, who are now down on
their knees for the conversion of the
mayor, what they were doing ON cleo.
ton day, when he was swept into pow
er by great plurality. Is there not a
time to work as we'll as to pray? Had
the ministers and the members of the
churches, men and women, of the city
of Philadelphia, pledged themselves be-
fore the election of Mayor Weaver to
vote against him or any one else who
would fail to purify the city. and had
they gone step further and named
one of their own supporters for the Of
flee, could they not have elected him!
We doubt if such combination in any
city of the country could be overcome
at municipal election. It is not too
late for the good people of Philadelphia
to redeem the fame of their fair city
but they must get out of the skirmish
line and into the thick of the BATTLE"

Brilliant Record of Newspaper Man.

The success which has attended
William E. Curtis, the famous CORE
spOndent of The Chicago Record Her.
aid, is rarely attained by newspaper
writers. Beginning his career in
Chicago in 1872 as reporter, he rapidly
rose to the position of managing editor.
He resigned that position on receiving
a government appointment as secretary
of the South American commission.
Mr.. Curtis travelled extensively in
Central and South America, while in
this position, producing several popu-
lar volumes as the result of his literary
labors. Afterward cooperating with
Secretary of State James G. Blaine,
Mr.. Curtis organized the work of the
bureau of American republics, with the
result that he was placed in charge of
that organization, and at the Worlds
Columbian Exposition he distinguished
himself by his labors as the executive
head of the Latin American depart
ment. AS correspondent of The
Chicago Record Herald, Mr.. Curtis
travels have carried him into every
section of the United States as we'll as
into all quarters of the globe. His
China and japan letters were published
in book form; likewise his letters from
England. Germany and France, as we'll
as those written during his travels in
Mexico and South America.
No newspaper correspondent pos.
se5ses the facility shown by Mr..
Curtis in writing on any of the diversi-
lied subjects embraced in his corre-
spondence and making it luminous. Nor
is any correspondent followed so close
ly year after year by the thousands of
readers of The Chicago Record Herald.
On his recent trip to the Holy Land
MIR. Curtis letters have been read more
closely than ever, and his descriptions
OF that interesting section of the globe
as 1t appears to day have been quoted
everywhere.
A daily letter from Curtis appears in
The Chicago Record Herald.

Laxative Honey and Tar acts on the
