Can't Fool the People.

One lesson is impressed on me, and that
is, in the long run, before the people, no
man permanently triumphs in an effort to
fool them. l have met Cabinet Ministers,
Senators and members of Congress who
were afraid to have Their constituents know
that they were acquainted with railroad
president, while privately they were seek
ing every favor it was possible for them to
secure. During all my career have taken
the ground that one-fifth of the voters of
the United States were interested, from a
wage-earning standpoint, in the railways
of the country, and that they were entitled
to as much consideration, were as good
citizens and would make as good officers
as the people engaged in any other pursuit.
Certainly, as have found them, they are
not nearly so selfish and not nearly so
welded to personal interests as the major
ity of both Houses, who, though engaged
in many pursuits, yet have their living in
the tariff. -Senator Chauncey N. Depev.

Bryanism.

A correspondent writes to the st. Louis
Republic as follows:
81 heartily concur with Mr.. Underwood,
the leader in the House. It is high time
for Mr.. Bryan to cease to act as dictator
for Democracy. He has led the rank and
file of the party to the slaughter pen three
times as their standard bearer. was one
of his followers, consistently all the way
through, but am frank to say Ihave enough
of his leadership. Let US try another for
while and see if we can't have better luck
believe there are enough Of fair-minded
and able men in Congress to devise ways
and means for the perpetuity of the Gov
eminent and the protection Of every inter-
est without the interference of Mr.. Bryan
or any other lesser light. earnestly hope
he will be content for while, at least, to
refrain from imposing his views in a
threatening manner upon those with whom
the responsibilities rest and who do not
agree with him. A quiet rest from Bryan
ism cannot hurt

Appealing to the Wrong Court.

The recommendation of the committee of
the American Medical Association that
newspapers curtail their reports of crimes
and suicides, the details of which exercise
such baleful influence on morbid minds,
should receive proper confederation from
the reading public, who, in the last analy-
sis, are responsible for such publications.
AS long as people revel in sensational and
sometimes disgusting details of crimes,
their desires will be satisfied by some news
papers in the country suppress such news
as far as possible, but they cannot wholly
disregard the taste or demands of the people
upon whom they depend for circulation.
The purpose of the association islaudable;
but its appeal is directed to the wrong
court. The newspapers do not create the
public liking for sensationalism, but the
demand Of part of the public for sensa-
tionalism forces the newspapers to supply
the kind of reading they want. Nothing
can be truer that crime begets crime, that
suicide is contagious, and that undue
prominence to crime and suicide stories
creates public danger.-Lake Charles

Admiral Raphael Semmes.

A writer in Watsen's Magazine for June
says Admiral Raphael Semmes ibid more
for the Southland during the great struggle
than perhaps any one, save Lee alone.
What Raphael Semmes did for his country,
no one else had ever done before, nor, in
this day and time, need any one ever hope
to do again. The wartime career OF
Raphael Semmes was beautifully expressed
by Gen. Bradley T. Johnson, when he said !:
"His exploits make record for bril-
liancy and efficiency unequalled in the
annals of war upon the high seas, in the
history of the world. He captured and
ransomed or burned eighty mine merchant
vessels bearing the United States flag, and
literally obliterated the commerce of the
United States from the high seas. He
carried the Confederate flag into the face
of four continents and surrendered it in a
blaze of glory that will glow as long as
chivalry shall nerve the hearts of men, OF
the story of gallant deeds stir the pulses
of the human race"

MORAL BACKBONE.

Moral courage deserves its monuments
no less than physical prowess. There is no
lack Of tributes to the latter, but the for
mer is not so well cared for. Yet, of the
two moral courage is PROFESSIONALLY the
more worthy of esteem. 1t requires greater
strength of character and self-sacrifice
than physical bravery. There is many a
one less afraid of swords and bullets than
of adverse public opinion or the loss of
friends. Everybody admires the fearless
soldier. There is certain eclat about him
and his deeds that goes far to compensate
the spirited and fame-loving man for his
sacrifices, and seems to make it worth his
while to risk even life. But everybody
does not always admire and, still less, love
the man of strong moral backbone. Those
whom he antagonizes- and they are nee
essarily many-are likely to bear anything
but good will toward him. Not his the
shining halo that surrounds the head of
the brave son of Mars. And yet, to ex-
press fearlessly ones honest convictions
when there is nothing to gain but every
thing to lose thereby; to stand up for
them, and fight for them, with friend and
foe alike; to become willingly for their
sakes the prey Of malignant tongues;
to forego popularity, and, if need be,
sacrifice his very friends for what he
holds to be right and just, is assuredly
something more genuinely heroic than
risking ones life on the glorious field Of
battle. To espouse popular and win
ming cause is no great feat, but to stand up
boldly fol. justice and truth when power
and pelf are arrayed against them-that is
the act of man. In attempting to give
due credit to the morally courageous we

don't, of course, include the ever "con-
sistent" man if by consistency" is meant
ignorant observation-disclosures, bull-head-
edness, or unreasoning obstinacy-and
frequently that is just what is meant. Only
the fool never changes bis mind. The wise
are ever the first to recognize and rectify
q mistake when it is pointed out to them.
And they lose nothing thereby. The very
best of men, and the most honest, have
changed sides and beliefs, and the sensible
people of the world thought none the loss
of them for it. It is the weak, timid,
changing expression of an unchanged be-
lief, the cowardly veering or backsliding
due to fear or influence, that merits CEN
sure. There may not be much in the way
of glare or glitter about the man who braves
the anger of his associates in defense of
his neighbours good name, yet many one
whom no bodily peril can stop or stay will
balk at speaking out his mind when his
fellow mans reputation is being torn to
tatters by the foul, envenomed shafts of
calumny.
In what we have said there is no wish to
disparage martial ardor or prowess. Nor
is there any danger that we could do so
even if we would. 1t is not that we admire
physical courage less, but that we love
moral courage still more. II we were as
lavish in our recognition of moral back
bone as we are in raising shafts to the
memories of famous soldiers, and conspic-
uous examples of material benefactions. it
would perhaps go far toward implanting
and fostering in the rising generation a
better than Spartan spirit-a love and ap-
probation of the quality most deserving Of
their admiration and imitation, quality
eminently conducive to the very best type
of good citizenship.
