sTAUNTON's CONTEST \ MORAL ONE

Ii is very true that question is never set
tied until it is settled right. There are many
who believe that questions of profit, policy,
or expedieney have no place in the considera-
ton of moral issue. Their doctrine is incon-
troyertible When any matter that holds cthi-
cal relations and significance demands atten-
tion there Is but one course open to the man of
conscience and that course is to determine the
right and do il

one hear to existence defended upon moral

Two More Jersey Towns Adopt

Commission government is marching through
Jersey Trenton adopted it. Jersey City came
within 1,400 votes of accepting it, and now
two to one. Only SCI votes cast in OPP
position, while its advocates polled 1892. The
same day Margate Park, suburb of Atlantic
City, adopted the plan; and the commits
sioners and property holders will attempt to
make it another Newport" Hoboken rejected
the commission by large majority, while in
Bayonne the vote was very close. ,a~
AS whole, the results in New Jersey are
gratifying to the reformers If the commits
sions govern Trenton and Passaic wen. Jersey
City and Hoboken will not long retain their
cumbersome and expensive city councils Real
reforms cannot be accomplished in a day, but
the commission plan is winning it's way more
rapidly than its most sanguine advocates ex-
pected.--Batimore Sun.

DEFENDING THE MOUNTAIN WHITES.

correspondent. whose letter appears in the
Forum, prefers charges in vigorous fashion
against the attitude of the city towards the
pleasure is an editorial We wrote commencing
the heroism of Young girl who surrendered
promising position in congenial communi-
ty TO dedicate her life TO teaching in the
mountains
We hold only the highest respect for the
mountain people As our correspondent very
truly states they are men OF strong and force
full personalities. In the heart Of the noun
tains there seems something that inspires the
love OF liberty the spirit of independence
and courage. Back among the hills in close
contact with nature, found an unquestion-
ing faith. n simplicity Of life. graciousness
and kindness of spirit that makes hospitality
proverbial and gives undyug strength to friend
ship. and vithal physical strength and an in
teectual aeumeu that promises wonderful pos
sibilies under proper direction. All this we full
ly realize and choerfully concede. Moreover, we
are prepared to assent to a proposition that
that letter suggests; that society in the en-
nervating atmosphere Of city life and amid
the influence there. that operate to the destruc-
ton of manhood would ultimately become
decadent except for the constant infowing of
the rich red blood of the country, and the
fresh, pure wholesome breezes that blow upon
us from mountain and plain, when the country
lad with his ideals and principles and faith
mngles with us in the city streets.
So far as this point is concerned, there is
nothing our friend said with which We do not
heartily concur, Nevertheless, there is need
for education in the mountains and need for a
proper direction to and development of the
naturally religious spirit of the mountaneer
There are mountain sections where ignorance
is dense and where lawlessness is rampant
The homes and manner of life of the people
the character of their schools and churches
the frequency of feuds and the persistent VIC
lation of law in the Illicit manufacture of IL
quor are all Indication OF the need for instruc
ton, secular and sacred 1t is to lay hold
Of the naturally fine powers and splendid pos
sibities of the mountain whites and give
direction and development that men and wo
men, like the brave young woman of whom We
wrote go into the heart Of the hills with school
book and Bible.
Our correspondent can make no denial OF
THESE facts az applicable To- certain sections OF
the mountain country OF course, sweep
ing classification intended of the hill
country any more than of the level 1t is in
specific sections that the need is imperative:
and education and religion must wait upon
need there, even as it must in the Stun and
alley of the great city. Our friend made the
mistake of giving our reference to mountain
whites too general application, and OF localiz-
ing his structures upon city life In both com
