HUMAN NATURE MOI 50 BAD
New York Newspaper Man Observes
With Pleasure the Aid Given
the Blind.

II you doubt that human nature Is
kind, watch the ordinary passerby In
bis attitude toward a blind man The
office window man was riding In
Broadway open car the other day. The
,ar was just barely moving, owing to
some blockade or other, and kept
about even pace with the pedestrians
who crowded the pavsments In their
ashal daily hustle.
The eye of the Office Window casu-
ally lit upon blind man, walking
alone, with that upright tilt of the
head so common to the sightless. He
tapped his stick necessarily before
him and moved briskly, until he neared
the end Of each block, with its hazard
Gus curb. The car kept pace with
him for seven blocks, and supon every
block some one took charge of that
band man as he came to the curb, saw
hin. safely over and said pleasant
word in parting.
One young man stayed near him for
three blocks, steering him over the
crossings each time. Probably the
man with the tapping stick thought
the friendly guide was different man
for every block. Or does his ear be-
come so delicately attuned to voices
that he fairly sees through hearing?
The Office Window man wondered II
the smiles that so often light the
faces OF the blind come from the hab-
1t of thanking people who lend them
friendly aid 30 many times a. day.

Consumption From a Monkey.

A report comes from Russia that
Nine. Gvosdeska, prima donna at the
Imperial theater. is i'll from consump-
ton, having been infected by her pet
monkey. She fondled her pet when
1t suffered from bronchitis. lnasmuch
as the monkey is suffering from
tuberculosis, the Russian doctors de-
cided that the disease had been
caught from the monkey. 1t is prob
able that consumption would last con-
slderably longer in the woman than
in the monkey, and the chances are
that the poor monkey while out OF
sorts really caught the consumption
from the prima donna, who may have
been infected long ago, the trouble,
though, only recently showing to any
serious extent.

BREAKING AWAY FROM TRUTh
Two Opinions With Respect to False
Statement Minister Admits
He Made.

! A curiously interesting question OF
| ethics has arisen over the failure o!
a minister to secure employm ent for
I an erring but repentant woman until
! he told prospective employers that
! she was woman ~ good character
/ He had often been on the point OF get
I ting for her the work she needed in
4 order to make an honest living and TO
regain The moral equilibrium which
had been disturbed by her wrongdoing.
/ But as soon as the minister. In his
devotion to the strict letter of the
truth, admitted that the woman had
sinned, the doors Of honest living W re
closed in her face, the "unco' good"
people who were in position TO lend
helping hand refusing 70 run the risf
Of "Contamnat.or." unwilling 10 fell
low the example o. Him who said 10
another erring woman: GO and sin
no more"
Now a rather lively local discussion
has arisen as to whether tha minister
was justified under the Giro lmstances,
or whether anybody is ever justified
under any circumstances, in telling n
lie. Perhaps few viii deny that if this
minister really He'd at all he strain
the truth in a good cause and tina The
imposition practiced unon those who
refused to give to another the chance
OF reform which they themselves
would have welcomed in their own
cases was intended TO serve a humane
purpose. All who are inclined TO take
an ultra conservative view of the in
volatility of truth might ponder the
splendid words Of Dickens when he
wrote Tom Pinch and the lie that he
did only good to another human be
ing:
There are some falaehoods, Tom.
on which men mount, as on bright
wings, to heaven. There are truths,
cold, bitter haunting truths, that bind
men down to earth Who would not
rather have to fan him in his dying
hour the lightest feather of a false
hood such as thine, than all the quilts
plucked from the sharp porcupine,
rCvengeful truth, since Time began?"

KEEPING THE LOOK OF YOUTH
ParIsiennes Are. Probably the Most
Successful In This, But Many May
Achieve It

y
A Russian princess who has attract
ed much attention In Paris this winter,
and who rs considered one Of the best
dressed women in that city, declares
that nothing ages a woman's appear
ance so much as the old-fashioned
method OF pushing the flesh up above
the corset.
How few women who have passed
the dangerous" age stop to think Of
this, yet is It not true? The settled
look that comes with middle age is
enhanced by a stiff-corseted figure
above the waist.
Put money into a good corset, have
1t fitted sitting down. and In adjust
ing II be sure to pull It far down
and grid 1t firmly round the hips.
Many women find az they grow
older they must have their evening
gowns cut high. This need not be
done II care is taken to get corset
that has low bust.
From Paris comes another hint
about youthful looks. A famous
dressmaker says that real lace ages
women and should never be worn
near the face.
The Parisienne has learned to fight
age more successfully than most
women because she pays heed to de-
tails that to others seem trivial. She
makes . study Of line, angle and
color, and who will say the results
are not worth the trouble?
II 10 every woman's duty to keep
young looking. The worst way to do
II Is to feign youth through cosmetics
or . kittenish manner!-Clevclane

PRoTECTIoNIsT DEMOCRATS.

AS the weeks 20 by it appears TO be
moro and more certain that the scheme
OF the radical Democrats for tripping
up the tariff system will be blocked
by Democratic votes, aided therein by
Republican protectiouists in both
Houses of Congress, We noted recently
that the Representative elected from
the Joplin district in Missouri has gone
to Washington expressly 10 fight any
proposition TO reduce the tariff on

gress from Colorado in both Houses can
be depended upon TO take the same po-
sition both as to zinc aud as to lead, A
good many Of the Democrats will OPP

ORIGIN OF A FAMOUS SAYING.

Every ono has heard the saying
which refers to the remark supposed to
havo passed between tho Governors of
North Carolina and of South Carolina,
"It's long time between drinks. F"
But very few know tho origin Of that
saying, aud what il was that brought it
into vogue, The Springfield (Mass.)
Republican, answering a. correspondent
who asked for light on the origin Of
tho saying, explains it as follows:
Tho story goes that nearly century
q 90, In the days of rum and toddy. the
Governors of the two states had q sharp
lima politician who had settled in South
Carolina, committed crime there, and
then fled back over the border to his old
home. The Governor of South Carolina
issued rcQuisition on the Governor OF
North Carolina for the return OF the fuSi-
tive but influential friends interceded
with the Governor not to noDor tie requi-
sition. The Governor of the Palmetto
State. with a party OF friends, journey ed
TO Raleigh for q conference with the
Governor OF North Carolina The visitors
were entertained with good dinner at
the Governors mansion: and after ample
liquid refreshments had been served, the
Governor OF South Carolina stated the
object OF his visit and demanded the
surrender OF the lNSlllNe, lIerc lollO"cC
a heated legal discussion. which culmi-
mated in the statement by the Governor
OF South Carolina that the dignity Of mis-
State had been affronted, and that unless
there was immediate surrender OF the
prisoner hc should return 10 his capital
call out the militia. return with his army
and take the fugitive by force Of arms
He concluded with tho direct question:
Governor, what do you say?''
At this crisis the Governor of North
Carolina slowly arose and beclSoned to a
servant. What do you say?" again de-
mandod the Governor of South Carolina
'I say Governor" was the slow reply
that Ii is a long time between drinks" "
The unexpected reply eased the situation
there was an immediate circulation OF
glasses: and. thereafter. whenever refer
cnce was made to the object OF the con
| ference, 1t was cut short by the remark
| that Ii was "a long time between drinks. -
In due course the Governor of South
Carolina made ready to depart. was es-
corted to the state line in the friend
Hest manner possible, and there the veX-
| a,ious matter was dropped, never to be
revived.
We are sure that Tribune readers
will be glad TO havo the origin of that
famous saying thus lucidly explained
for every one of discernment always
| likes 10 know what he is talking about
| when he talks at all.

WOMEN FOR ARMY DUTY.

The women of Denmark are reported
TO have won their fight for suffrage,
and now, since the question took on a
military phase, the Danish women are
not shrinking from tue obligations i'm
piled in the extension of suffrage to
them, and so they propose TO follow
their successful suffrage campaign with
a form of military service in which
they claim they can do just as we'll as
men, and in some cases better.
Their idea is that they could, first Of
all, be hospital attendants and nurses,
which of course, is conceded every
where. They propose TO 90 further,
however, and TO be the commissary
force Of the army. They claim that they
understand how TO buy and distribute
food as we'll as men do, or even bet
ter, and they justly urgo that if they
were given this work to do they would
thereby release a considerable number
of men who could go into the firing
line while the women kept the "cracker
line in good order. They propose,
tuTther, 10 DC Iue copks duu tne saul
tary directors and agencies OF the bar.
racks and the camps, leaving the men
free to attend TO their special duties as
the fighting battle line.
There is q good deal Of common
sense in ali this, and the reinforcement
which would thus be practically at.
fordcd for the Danish army is one that
the Danish government cannot afford to
overlook. Since the army of Denmark
is comparatively small at the best, a
reinforcement like this is certainly not
| TO be despised.

ITS SHYING OF BRICKS,

The Smoot organ yesterday morning
had big-type knock whioh appears 10
have been principally directed at its
own political friends. It demanded
what it called GA square deal for the
bomc-owner, aud in that connection
proceeded to read lectures to the State
officials, especially upbraiding them for
their methods of handling tho public
funds, and claiming that their acts
were unfair towards the home-owners.
Tho following paragraph will give an
idea OF the knock and the suggestion
of graft which it implies:
A Just system of taxation in Utah. ad >
minlstered by officials who neither seek
nor, accept favors, who are under obli-
cations TO no special interest would
promptly reduce the annual sum which
the home-owncr must contribute for the
privilege Of sitting under his own roof.
Left as it is, that is simply q geu-
oral charge against any and all Of the
State officials, and since. the organ evil
IDENTIFY thinks that there is something
b)ameworthy going on, and considers
that the public is wronged thereby;
and since it is in the secrets of the
State officials whom it helped to elect,
but whom 1t has now arraigned before
the public, it should go further and
point out what officials are guilty, who
they arc that are under obligation TO
special interests TO the public injury,
who they are that have accepted favors
to the disadvantage of the home
owners and all the rest of It'll Let us
have the whole story, since the charge
and its necessary Implication have been
made very direct and very plain.

TIE pyNAM1TERs' SENTENCES.

The Federal court in Ipdiapapolis has
given sentences TO the convicted dyna-
mitcrs. which in tho opinion Of the
presiding Judge fit the crimes for which
they were severally convicted. There
can be no question but that the trial
was fair, and the verdict the proper
one.
charged with crime, not against any
organization, not against any union;
not against labor. The suggestion made
by Secretary Haywood that organized
labor was in some way on trial, and that
the conviction OF these individuals has
convicted organized labor OF crime, is
so unwarranted, SO grotcsque, SO impu-
dent, that one must marvel at tho dis.
ordered mind that makes such a sugges-
ton,
Eabor was in 10 way on trial; or
ganized labor was in no way in the
dock. There were certain persons. who
in spite of organized labor, in spite Of
their duty 10 their unions, degraded
their positions and committed felonies
of greater or less degree of infamy.
The court obtained jurisdiction over
these men, tried them fully and fairly,
they were convicted by jury Of their
peers, and the court has delivered ap-
propriate sentences.
1t is the duty of every good citi"
zen to uphold the courts in thus deal
ing with crime, and 1t is a scantlalous
proposition for any man to undertake
to say that labor or organizations of
labor were on trial and that labor and
Its organizations stand convicted Of fell
onies through the conviction Of these
men. The man who takes that position,
so far from being a friend of labor, is
its most deadly foe; and labor can i'll
afford to allow such characters as Hay
wood to speak for it or represent it in
any capacity whatever.
