for the ends they have in view. That
this is no idle fear is amply attested
by the recent exposures of the shame
less graft and conniyance at vice OF
men high in municipal power in St.
Louis, Minneapolis, Chicago, Pitts
burg, Philadelphia and New York.
These examples are straws, snow
ing the direction of the wind, but

Two Great Americans.
But nations like men, are not all
good nor all bad, and it is with inf
mite pleasure that we turn to examples
Of Americans of the best type to dem
Onstrate that there is yet a heaven
that will leaven the whole lump, il
the American people but do their part
Of the leavening. Two of these
Americans have within the month
passed away. One world famed as
the greatest merchant of the age and
widely loved for his open handed
charity; the other, no less renowned
as a warrior, and equally beloved and
respected as a simple Christian gen
tIeman, AMI a capable. honest, pat
riotic public servant These men Iiv-
ing, heard the teachings which Wash
ington's life. exemplifies They lived
in his shadow. and their lives were
patterned after the masters model
One of them New England claimed as
a son: the other yielded allegiance to
our own Southland. but both Of
Thorn belonged to the nation which
shall ever point with pride as worthy
Of emulation and respect, to Marshal
Field and Joe Wheeler.
These are types. May their tribe
increase until excellence such as
theirs excites no comment because of
its rarity, and may the leaders Of the
people approach and equal the long

to a party campaign fund. Their
thefts were small, their crimes were
great. for they have debased them
selves, who as trustees should have
been without reproach, a stimulous to
those below them to mount to the
heights above Is it any wonder that
we cry out for honest men? Men OF
rugged, aggressive, answering, IN
fiuctuating, unhairsplitting, honesty?
We need such men more today than
ever before in our history. This is
the generation for us to stamp on
our banners Washington words, Il
hope that / shall possess firmness and
virtue enough to maintain what
consider the most enviable OF all
titles-that of an honest man." Pub
lie honesty should be synonymous
with private honesty. Too prone are
public servants with casuistry, too
fine to stand the test Of truth, TO dis
tinguish between trust reposed by the
neighbor and that reporsed by the
neighbors. The dTty to the one is
held as sacred, the duty to the many
is held as lightly as the rose petals
in the palm of youthful gayety.
Remedy With the People.
The wrong lies with the people be-
cause the remedy lies with the peo-
Pile All officials are servants and re-
movable by their masters. When
they transgress, the laws afford ade-
quate redress, if the laws be quicken
ed into action by the awakened inter
est of the DeOnle No system of WRONG
can endure in the path of an avalanche
of public movement, and If the
people move, the transgressor must
reform or fee. But perhaps the virus
works from the bottom, and the cor
ruption in high place is the combined
result of the Indifference of the
worthy yoeman and burgesses, and
of the active, malign influence of the
worse elements of the nation, and
perhaps these worse elements owe
their continuous existence and growth
TO the constant recruiting of them

from the lower orders of the old world.
1t cannot but be that the inflow into
our national life of the turbid and
sewer laden waters of Europe, must
leave a. sediment from which springs,
and by which is nOurished, criminal
Indifference TO the demands Of good
citizenship. 1t would be well for us
to pause and consider as one of the
means of raising the Level of public
virtue, the stoppage of this inflow and
to hsed the wisdom of the author or
'tWeal of Nations" who warned us
thus: "The constant importation as
now in this country, of the lowest or
ders of people from abroad TO dilute
the quality of our national manhood,
is a sad and beggarly prostitution Of
the noblest gift ever conferred upon
a people, Who shall respect a peO-
Pile who do not respect their own
blood? And how shall a national
spirit or any deteTminate and pro-
portionate character arise out of so
many Eow-bred associations and cross
grained temperments imported from
every cline? 1t was indeed fitting
that Pan, who was the son of every
body, was the ugliest of the Gods"
With dangers from within and per-
lis from the without, is it not fair
time for us TO turn to Washington and
his precepts to aid US in this crisis
of national character?
Fears Well Grounded.
But perhaps it may be thought that
I exaggsrate the gravity of the stu
alton. and would not be understood
as meaning that this magnificent ma
ton is becoming decadent, and that
the. principles Of righteousness, JUS
.tice and honesty are being wholly for
gotten. Thank God such is not the
ease, but ] earnestly feel that there
is a real and present danger that our
public men will forget that they are
but servants of the people who elect

not consider the means they use, so
