THE loading anti-Tan Wyck organs
wore rather hilarious for several days because -
cause 1'lnttflmonth , in Cass county , guvo
: is falsely stated a solid delegation
against Van Wyek. These journals
truthfully said that Cass county was one
of Van Wyck's strongholds. So it has
been and eo It la to-diy. : it is so strong
for Van Wvcl : that it will overcome the
Pluttsmouth delegation and give a sure
working majority for Van Wyok In the
convention next Saturday. And so the
procession moves on , showing that the
great mns of Nebraska republicans en
dorse Van Wyok'a republicanism.
TIIK appeal of General Fairchild to the

that n larg sum will yet bo required to
relieve the necessities of the sufferers and
prevent thy more serious iorms of priva
tion nnd hardship , The liberality of the
people of the country must therefore bo
still further extended , nnd it will vary
likely l > mouths before olmritublo
work in this direction can stop.
It is rv will that ovury person
who can spare anything ought to
promptly respond to. The action of the
commandcr-in-chiof of the G. A. it. will
duubtlRjsn load to systematic efforts
throughout the country from which the
most gratifying result may bo expected.

The Unholy Alllnnco.
When the campaign opened the chnrgo
was openly made that Van Wyck and tlio
democratlo lenders had made a coalition
by which the democracy wore to support
Van Wyck In oxclianga for his past nml
future services to their party. This
charge furnished the rallroguo republi
cans a great deal ot capital for use-
among republicans who desired above till
things party supremacy in national af
fairs. As the campaign progressed , the
"unholy alliance' * of which Van Wyclc
was accused proved to bo n political
mnrcH-ncst. Thu leading democratic pa
pers have been most vindictive and seur-
rilotiH in their opposition , and the
leaders who run the democratic
machiuo are openly proclaiming their
determination to beat Van Wyck ovtm if
it is necessary to do so by making com
mon caufo with the railroad republicans.
On the other hand the bogus stalwarts
whoproclal.il that Van Wyck is not a
good enough republican for them have
dropped the mask and actually profess
themselves willing to join hands with thu
democrats to elect 11 democratic senator
in place of Van Wyck.
This is stalwart republicanism with n
vengeance. Hut this class of republicans
are not very numerous in Nebraska after
all. Outside of Valentino and two
or three other disgruntled statesmcii
they cannot muster a corporal's guard
outside of thu legislature , let alone ill it.
Hut now that they have shown that they
are willing to league themselves with
the democracy in order to defeat Van
Wyck , even if It defeats the party , the
rank and lilu of republicans will prompt
ly refuse to trust them. They will rally
around the candidate whoso republi
canism ban been tried in every successive
campaign since the birth of the repub
lican uarty , and is now being endorsed
by county after county of the state
which he Ir.is served so well in the
national councils at Washington.
On Ornolt'H 1'liiiin.
Later reports from Arizona confirm
tlio impression that thu capture of Gero-
nlmo by Captain Lawton was accom
plished by n steady adherence to Crook's
method of lighting the Apaches. After
all the bombast and boasts of Miles that
ho would wind , up the Apache campaign
by dismissing the Indian scouts and em
ploying only regular soldiers , it turns out
that Lieutenant Gatowood's Indian scouts
of Captain Lnwton's command ,
trailed the hostiles to their lair and
brought thu Indians into camp. In an
interview from Painted Cave , Texas ,
Captain Lawton told the story
of the twenty-six weeks' chase con
ducted on tiie exact lines of
Crook's policy of unwearying
pursuit by native trailers and
frequent skirmishes , folio wed by renewed
ehasn , but there is nothing about helio
graphs and complicated signaling , dis
trust of the Indian contingents or a re
versal of previous methods. Captain
Lawton , who is one of the bravest and
ablest of Indian fighters , knew as well as
any soldier of experience in Arizona that
there was only one policy to pursue in
tracking the hostiles , and that that was
the policy which hart been originated and
carried out by George Crook during his
three years' struggle with the Arizona
Apaches. It was this sort of campaigning
which won. With the patii safely marked
out for them and with ollicors and scouts
thoroughly trained under Crook ,
General Miles took up the pursuit where
Crook left it oil' , and carried it out t o : i
successful termination. Both otticoM
deserve all the credit they are likely to bo
given for tlio close of the Apache war.
Hut it is the height of folly for the fool
friends of General Miles to attempt to
build up still higher the reputation of
that able ollicer by detracting from the
well-earned-laurels of General Crook.
That Olconmririxi-iiii : Vote.
One of the smallest pieces of business
in tlio anti-Van Wyck campaign is the
charge-being made by several of the rail-
rogue organs that the senator "dodged"
a vote on thu oleomargarine 'bill. Sena
tor Van Wyok was one of the mo.it
ardent supporters of the measure. It
was owing to his shrewd strategy -that
the bill when it came from the house was
not pigeonholed in a committee room
unfriendly to the dairy interests , ilo
both spoke and worked for the bill dur
ing itsVrogress in tiio senate , and stood on
the record fully committed to its details.
On the final paasngo ho was unable to cast
his vote , being paired with Senator Fair
who was absent in Nevada. This is the
basis upon which the scullions of the
railroad organs nro building up the
charge of Van Wyck dodging the olco-
margarhiQ bill , The senator is thu last
man against whom such a charge will
stick. From the opening days of his
term ho has been thu steady and unflinch
ing friend ot the farmers of the west ,
always ready and willing to champion
their interests , watchful and active iu
defending them , and turning a deaf ear
to the insinuations of the corporation
lobby.
Tlio boodle gang are hard up for cam
paign material when they trump up sueh
a charge as the oleomargarine vote to
injure General Van Wyek.
Looking to Now York.
It was generally understood when Mr.
Cleveland displaced Huddeu as collector
of the port of Now York , and ignoring
the democratic politicians of that city
appointed his successor from Ogdons-
burgh , that the action had reference to
strengthening the president's hold In the
Empire state. There can Lu no question
that it had bucomo weak and was stead
ily growing weaker. The favor which
the prosidcn t had shown to the mug
wumps , lirat m the reappolnimont of
Pearson as postmaster and. then in the
partial conees.sion to them involved in
thu appointment of Iloddun , together
with the persistence of this element i n
assuming to have a commanding inllu-
onuo with thu president , had created u
wide and ( tuop-pcatad displeasure among
democrats of all factions , This was very
clearly denoted m the convention which
nominated Hill for governor , It has been
shown in the treatment of the adminis
tration by the leading democratic papers
of New York , und It has boon manifested
in other ways , notably m tiio cold recep
tion given to the leltor of the president
by tlio Tammany society at its Fourth
of July celebration , hi most con- ,
spluuous contract to the hearty greeting
wiUi which the more shrewdly worded
letter of Governor Hill was reoulyod , no-
companied with exclamations of "He's
the man for president. "
Governor Hill took the largest possible
advantage of this spirit of dissension ,
nnd unquestionably contributed , so far
ns was safe nnd practicable , to its growth.
Immediately after his nomination ho pro
ceeded to organize the political machine
to his own liking with respect to his
present and future advantage , nnd after
his election ho sought to strengthen It.
Without assuming an attitude of hostility
to civil service reform , ho satisfied the
spoilsmen of the party that ho was not to
be regarded as an enemy. Ho courted
the favor and achieved the confidence of
nil the factions in New York city. Ills
wipes were Inid In all directions , and so
strong had his forces become that less
than two months ago a New York demo
cratic paper deolarcd that were n state
convention of the party Held at that time
to e'ect representatives to a national con
vention , the Cleveland administration
would be indorsed , but Hill would
get tlio delegates. Since then the
situation has changed somewhat. It
was thu misfortune of the governor to
gel some bad timber in his machine , The
Sqnire-Flyuii disclosures , involving
O'llrii'ii , tlio chairman of the state com
mittee , was a blow that disarranged
matters for the governor. Ho was com
pelled to throw these men overboard , of
whoso perfect allegiance he was sure.and
Hi HI others who will have to be trained
to the work ho requires of them. There
will bo a loss of valuable time , if not of
substantial prestige , and there must be
more or less embarrassment for a time
from don bis regarding the fealty ami
plasticity of the now men. There is
reason to believe that Governor Hill
fully realizes thu nature and tlio scope
of the personal misfortune in tlio shat
tering of his machine and the consequent
quent disarrangement of his plans.
Hut it was Mr. Cleveland's ' opportun
ity , and may perhaps bo regarded ns
another instance of that exceptionally
fortunate individual's luck. Ho was un
doubtedly tiilly nwaru of the situation ,
but ho was helpless until a disruption was
threatened in the forces ot Hill. It was a
stroke of policy to help this on by trans
ferring thucoiloctorship from an avowed
supporter of tlio governor's ambition to
an equally earnest friend of the president ,
and Mr. Ma < rene went Irom Ogdensburg
to take care of thu interests of Mr. Cleveland -
land in Now York. This was the begin
ning of an obvious purpose on the Dart
of the president to counteract , and if pos
sible overthrow , the Hill inlluouce in Now
York politics , ami it is now said to be the
intention of Mr. Cleveland to continue
this task , using the patronage at his com
mand outside of his own state for the ben
efit of liis New York supporters. Ho will
require , so it is stated , not only that those
who receive public ollico in New York
shall bo Cleveland democrats , but New
Yorkers of this stripe will bo preferred in
thu general distribution of patronage ,
where they arc eligible. In short , tlio
president proposes hereafter to take care
of his own , and since it is in his own po
litical household that ho has most to fear ,
it is not incredible that lie should have
determined to employ the best of
all means for securing the support of
the members of that household a liberal
distribution of the spoils. Such c , policy
with respect to New York , judiciously
pursued so that all tiio factions could bo
satisfied , or at least fairly recognized ,
would give Mr. Cleveland a decided ad
vantage over Mr. Hill an1 advantage
measured by the relative difference in
the amount of the patronage controlled
by each. There is no longer a doubt that
Air. Cleveland eagerly desires a second
term , and his hope for a rcnomination
rests wholly upon securmgthoNew York
delegation. It is doubtful whether he
could do that at this timo. but ho may
ell'cet a complete change of sentiment in
the next two years , It is entirely reason
able to suppose that lie will spare no
effort to do this , and tlio policy most
likely to accomplish it would be to dis
tribute among Now York democrats as
largo a part of tlio spoils as possible.
Tlicy Deserve Credit.
The managers of the fair deserve spe
cial credit for tlio conduct of the speed
department. The races were a great
success. In the number of entries , the
class of horses put on the track and the
fairness of the contests there was little
left to bo desired. The track mot every
requirement and the accommodations for
the public were admirable. But best of
all , there was no room left for under
hand work among the owners of the
horses. The judge's stand vigorously enforced -
forced the rulessternly suppressed every
attempt at jockeying and won the
applause of the grand stand and thu
thanks of the quarter stretch.
The races were the best.takon altogeth
er , seen in Omaha for long years. Lib
eral purse * attracted the bust horsemen
to make entries , ami the public gave n
liberal patronage to a management which
conducted thu contests in their interests.
That such was the case is worthy of
mention. Tlio race course of late bus
become a fertile ground for swindling
and scandal. Scarcely a meeting takes
place in certain sections of the country
where collusion between the judges'
stand and the stables is not cither
openly or covertly charged. An impres
sion bus gained ground that the only use
of the public on such occasions is to fur
nish the purses which jockeys and trick-
slurs divide between themselves. It is im
portant that this impression should bu re
moved in the interest ot improved stock ,
which fairly conducted contests between
owners stimulate , and in that of patrons
of a sport which lias done much to raise
the standard of the American-bred horso.
The races of the Omaha fair were
fairly conducted under the control of
honest men , who had the good fortune to
employ honest and capable subordinates.
THE San Francisco Chronicle , in a re
view of the metal and mineral resources
of California , says that thu two mineral
products besides silver and gold from
which that state may fairly expect a fu
ture addition to her resources , tire quick
silver nnd petroleum. The development
of iron has not been satisfactory , for the
reason that it cannot as yet bo profitably
miued in competition with the eastern
product , and the state must continue to
depend upon other sources of supply for
its coal. There is a moderate yield of
lead and copper , The supply of quick
silver Is quite abundant , while it is
scarce elsewhere. It has been mined In
California for forty years , und at one
time there was a largo output. But both
the price und thu production have de
clined largely during the last few years ,
A falling off in the yield of mines else
where holds out a more favorable promise
to tills interest In California. Petroleum ,
however , iu thu opinion of thu Chronicle ,
promises to bo the staple mineral product
of the state , nnd Urcnwrks that the day
may come when thai production may
represent more do ars , than the output
of gold. It is fpnndin all the coast
counties , and in many counties In the
interior. Six comrtiinlds arc engaged In
the business , one 'df Which , the Pacific
Coast Oil company , produces 150,000
barrels of crude olannually. \ . As much
more is produced by other companies.
"By what right , or upon what author
ity , " asks the Jlcrtttd , "does the Omaha
UKI : declare that Van Wyck has been en
dorsed by tlm Knights of Labor1' By
what right or upon what authority does
the Herald declare that Uuthcrford B.
Hayes is still president of the United
States ? The Bun has made no statement
regarding endorsement of Senator Van
Wyck by the Knights of Labor
What It did atiilc , on tlio
authority of the New York JSWi'oM ,
and the Dos Molnes Tribune was that the
central legislative committee of the
Knights of Labor in its report to the
order had singled out General Van Wyck
from the entire senate ns the fearless ,
able and consistent friend of labor inter
ests at Washington , and urged his re
election upon the order. The right of
the BKI : f > publish this fact was th right
of an enterprising newspaper to publish
news of interest to its constituency. The
authority was such as oven that old-
time enemy of laborers ami labor inter
ests , the Jfcrulil , will not be likely to
dispute.
Tun wag who insisted that the worst
kind of vice was nd-vlco might find an
illustration for his argument in the case
of Mr. Thomas Flunkctt , of Hartford.
A few weeks ago Plutikelt wrote a letter
to a young man in Hartford , which ran
something like this : " 1 am grieved to
learn that you are spending all the
money that you can earn , and are form
ing bad habits. I never sco you without
you have a cigar in your mouth. I hear
alio that you are becoming an inveterate
poker player. This , my young friend ,
is very wrong. " Two weeks Inter , Mr.
Plunkctt had skipped the country , carry
ing with him a largo fund of other
people's money.
Tin : Herald apologizes for its malicious
fling , \t Senator Van Wyek and tlio West
Point Catholics , but wtieks the knife into
the Jovs by remarking that it is "just
1,853 years ago that Christ was crucified. "
We have always failed to see what inter
est , moral , social or political , the noting
editor of the Ifcrnhl has in that im
portant event.
Tin : appointnicnf of . u- Calhoun to

IT is a sweet-scented revelation of
Church Howe's treachery to his neigh
bors which ex-Agbut 'Slaves ' makes in
this issue of the BKI : . But no one who
knows Howe bolitjVostliat he could trans
act straight business * if ho tried. The
man is so thoroughly corrupt that ho
defiles every object ho touches.
KINDLY obtaining 10 a car rebate on
hogs for "his neighbors" and then pock
eting half as his own private "boodle , "
is another sample of Church Howe's
loving kindness to his granger constit
uents.

ACCORDING to the job printing concern
with the democratic paper attachment ,
the railroad republicans and not the sup

to give the Nebraska scnatorship to the

Kocp it Before llfpubltcnnn ,
Before the republicans of the First dis
trict commit the party lo the support o
Church Howe , thoyshould nsk themselves
whether a man of his record haa any
rightful claim upon the support of any
decent republican. Leaving out of qucs
lion his corrupt methods nnd notorious
venality wo appeal to republicans to
pause and reflect before they put a prom
uim upon party treason nnd conspiracy
against its very existence.
Ten years ago , when the roiiubllcai
party wns on the verge ot disaster
nnd every electoral vote cast for
Hayes and Wheeler was noedcd t <
retain the party in power , Clmrcl
Ilowo entered into a conspiracy
to deliver republican Nebraska into the
hands of the enemy. This infamous plo
is not a morn conjecture. The
proof of It docs not rest on surmise or
suspicion. It is not to IMS poo-poohcd o :
brushed away by pronouncing it one 01
Uosowater's malicious campaign sland-
ders.
The records of the legislature o
which Church Howe was n member' ii
' 70-77 , contain the Indelible proofs of the
treasonable conspiracy , und no denin
can stand against evidence furnished by
his own pen. Brloily told , the history of
this plan to hand over the country to
Tilden and democracy is ns follows :
In 1870 Nebraska elected Silos
A. Strickland , Ainnsa Cobb nml
A. II. Connor presidential electors
by a vote of 31,010 as against a vote o
10,031 cast for the Tilden and llcndrioks
electors. After the election it was dis
covered that the canvass of this vote
could not take place under the then ex
Isting law before the legislature con
vened. The electoral vole had to bo can
vnsscd in December at the latest , and the
regular session of the legislature did nol
begin until January. In order to make
a legal canvass of the electoral returns
Governor ( iarbor called a special .session
of the legislature to convene on the 5th
of December , ' 7i ( , nt Lincoln , for ( ho pur
pose of canvassing the electoral vote ol
the state. The democratic effort to cap
ture republican electoral votes is historic- .
Tilden's friends , notably Dr. Miller , had
been plotting for the capture of
one of the electors from Ne
braska , and it is also historic that
a largo bribe was offered to one of the
electors , General Strickland. The call of
the legislature broke into the plan of the
plotters , and they found a willing and
reckless tool in Church Howe. When the
legislature convened at tlio capital ,
Church Howe filed a protest which may
be found on pages 0 , 7 and 8 of the Ne
braska House Journal for 1877. The fol
lowing extract makes interesting reading :
"I , Church Howe , a member of the legisla
ture of Nebraska , now convened by procla
mation of his excellency , Governor Silas
( inrber , for the purpose of canvassing and
declaring the result of the vote cast In Ne
braska for electors for president and vice
president of thu United States , hereby enter
my solemn protest against such act , denying
that the governor has power lo call this body
In special session for any such purpose , or
that this body has any authority to canvasser
or declare the result of such vote upon the
following grounds :
First , This legislature now convened hav
ing been elected under what Is known ns the
old constitution , has no power to act In the
promises' , the new constitution of the state
having been In force since November , lb"5. "
The second nnd third clauses deal with
technical objections and are somewhat
lengthy. Tlio concluding sentences of
this precious document arc us follows :
"For the foregoing reasons I protest
against any canvass of tlio electoral vote
of the slate by this body , ami demand
that this , my protest , bo entered upon
the journal. " ( Signed ) Church Howe ,
member of the legislature of Nobnuka.
The democrats did not respond to the
call of the governor and there was barely
a quorum in tlio senate , while there were
several to spare in the house of which
Howe was a member. The protest en
tered by Ilowo was doubtless prepared
by tlio Tilden lawyers in Omaha and
Howe iiad the glory of being the solo
champion of SamTildon. The legisla
ture ignored Church Howe , spread his
protest on its record and canvassed the
electoral vote in spite of it.
When the legislature convened in Jan
uary , 1877 , the presidential contest was
at its height in Washington. Church
Ilowo had changed places from the house
to the senate. Early in the session , a
resolution was introduced expressing I ho
conviction on thu part of thu senate that
Hayes and \VheeIer \ having received a
majority of the electoral votes wore en
titled to their scats. This resolution
gave rise to a very lively debate which
lasted two days. Church Howe asked to
bo excused from voting when it first
came up and was so excused. On the
final passage of the resolution the record
[ page 370 , Senate Journal 1877 , ] shows
the following result : Yeas Ambrose ,
Baird , Blanehard , Bryant , Calkins ,
Cams , Chapman , Colby , Dawes , Garfield -
field , Gilhum , Hayes , Kotmard , Knapp ,
Pepoon , Powers , Thumniol , Van Wyclc ,
Walton and Wileox 20.
Those voting in the negative wore :
Aton , Brown , Covell , Ferguson , Hitunan ,
Holt , Church Howe and North--8.
During the same session of the legisla
ture , Church Howe's vote on United
Suites senator for the first three ballots is
recorded as having been cast for K. W.
Thomas , a South Carolina democrat ,
[ pages 11)8 ) and 308 Senate Journal. ] All
this time Church Howe professed to bo a
republican Independent , republican on
national issues and a temperance granger
on local issues. His temperance and
grange reeord wo leave for another chap
ter. Wo simply nsk what right n mnn
with suoli a record has to the suppoitof
unv"republican. . The democrats may bo
still in his debt although they claim to
have paid him in full on a cash basis for
ervices rendered.
Nervous Force.
llitlaiUlvhla lUcnnl.
A few years ago , when Herbert Spen
cer , the English philosopher , preached
what he called the gospel of relaxation
which was in reality a plea for the
American people to indulge in mental
and physical rest to a greater degree
than they had formerly been doing , it
was afterwards objected that his views
on the subject could not bo considered of
much consequence , as ho himself had
boon ordered by his physician to take the
very course which ho advised others to
adopt. In spite , however , of the appar
ent inconsistency which seemed thus to
surround his argument , it was well-timed
and has since been supplemented by that
of men who have closely studied the re
lations which exist between the physical
nnd nervous systems , besides being en
forced and illustrated by dally examples.
Disguise it as wo may , the conviction la
forced upon , us that wo are a nervous.
people. There nro many causes which
may account for this. The constant
change of circumstances , individual re
sponsibility and Irregular climate condi
tions are no doubt largely responsible for
this condition of things. Beside * this , the
political atmosphere of our government
is constantly changing. Iu land * where
the tyrant llnunts in purple , where con
stitutions are never altered or aincndml ,
where the traditions bequeathed from
slro to son dominate nil aspirations for n
newer nnd better order of things , nnd
where men spend their llvos.
Mustering the lawless science of our law ,
Tlmtcodi'liifW myriad of premlem ,
That wlldernosi of single liintniicas ,
there is not much opportunity for the dis-
plny of nny qualities oxcent those nega
tive ones that sap the springs of national
Ufa and make men's spirits rest in idh < -
ness. But here , whore every man , so to
speak , la a law unto himself , where old
forms are constantly changing , giving
place lo the now , nml where allegiance
to parties Is not permitted to intorfi-ro
with the recognized necessity for fresh
methods of phvarnmont , the pace is one
which often tells and becomes notScsai li
not in a deterioration of power , but in u
waste of these vital energies which make
the exercise of that power continuous.
The contemplation of great things , the
thought of how we shall bo nble to ac
complish them , the knowledge of huge
dllfietillies standing in our wny , and how
wo can succeed in leveling them or rais
ing above them , inspire calmness and
moderation ; but it is the title and com
paratively insignificant things that , as a
rule , we trouble ourselves so much uuout
and that destroy our needed conservation
of energy.
It is not intended by this to have it un-
dorsood that constant work and concen
tration of thought or energy on any par
ticular subject , When that subject is wortii
thought or concentration , will hurt us.
"Of what did your brother die ? " wns the
question put to a Frenchman , and the
answer was : "Ho died of Inving nothing
to do. " The old monks who declared
that labor is worship wore wise in their
generation. Labor , rightly and jiuliei-
uiously applied , sweetens life ; it is an
antidote lor many ills , a panueen for
many ailments ; for , as Carlyle says : "He
tlmtliasdonc nothing luisknown nothing.
Vain is it to sit scheming and plausiblv
discoursing ; up and be doing ! If thv
knowledge be real , put it forth from
theo ; grapple with real nature ; try thy
theories there and see how they hold out.
Do one thing , for the first time in thy
life do a thing , a new light will rise tote
to thce on the doing of alt things what
soever. Truly , a boundless significance
lies tin work ; whereby the humblest
craftsman comes to attain much which is
of indispensable use , but which he who Is
of no ; craft , were lie never so high , runs
the risk of missing. " But. the trouble
with us is that , as thu celebrated English
wit said of his countrymen , they took
their pleasures sadly , M > wo take our
work seriously ; especially when wo are
dealing with little thing * we put such a
lioavy load in our spiritual guns that
when we lire them oil we are injured by
the recoil. We would aim a cannon at a
mark which is only worthy of a pistol
.shot.

The truth of the proverb that that the
child is father to the man is seen in this
connection every day. The African baby
pressious of joy and sorrow. It erics
more vigorously than any other ; it breaks
its toys with more enthusiasm ; it kicks
against actual and ideal pricks more
strenuously , and when the man usurps
its placw ho follows the same fashion with
adult toys. On the Stock Exchange ho
woriies because he sold out too soon or
too late ; in the. store he frets because the
price of merchandise has been aileeted
bo some political struggle ; in the pulpit
ho chafes because his sermons are not so
good as those that hu preached last year ;
in the study lie is worried because some
other author has caught the breeze of
popular favor.
And in this constant waste of nervous
force the man is largely aided because
of the character of his country. It is big
with resources , and ho is careless not
only of health but of money. Ho does
not learn by experience , as men would
in some quiet and easy-going common
wealth. The failure of to-day , instead of
giving him caution , only inspires him to
the performance of some greater deed.
And so ho draws on his reserve power ,
until at last , when his mental notes liavo
gone to protest and he is forced to sit
down and chock his balances , it is too
Into to retrace his steps and hg falls into
physical and spiritual bankruptcy. Not
alone are men guilty of this ; so are
women. They string themselves up to
concert pitch ; they are superlative in
everything ; they exaggerate trifles ;
their streams are raging torrents ; their
molehills are mountains , .nd they ago
and wither before their lime. The reck
lessness with which all tread the paths of
modern life is seen every day : it blights
ho fairest hopes , it casts a shadow on the
bi ightest landscape ; and unless wisdom
und moderation como to the rescue it is
certain lo end m sorrow.
