Being in that frame of mind, we were dee-lighted we saw that vigorous and speechiferous Ole had berated the council for giving away the public streets to private interests. : “Here is where we say a kind word for Ole, and up hold the hands of the people’s watch dog or something”— ‘our metaphor was mixed, doubtless, but not our motives. And then we went up to the council chamber and spoke to the city—on street is so steep that it takes a moun be owful; because it appears that Ole was just grand-| ding in this particular instance. - The council gave away nothing. - It received more than it donated.

Neither can you. Nor anybody else. For the difference between the two parties is not one of principle, nor of in- telligently formed conviction, but one com- | posed of Partisanship, which is a stuff | made up entirely of blind feeling and is wholly negligible from the point of view of intelligence. Democrats and Republicans cisely for the same reason the Jones family hate the Smiths, certain whites despise the blacks, Kentucky feuds run from genera- tion to generation, Jews and Gentiles | despise one another, and Catholics and Protestants indulge in intolerance. It is unpleasant to bring the charge of ignorant prejudice against people, many of whom are of distinguished attainments jand culture. But while tisanship rages most among the crude and savage, the learned and polite are by no means free from it. | We know from observation that able judges, professors, churchmen, and states- men are utterly unreliable on party ques- tions.

Men, especially public men, in all ages, have pro- fessed adherence to doctrines and to cus | toms utterly absurd, and many of them ab | horrent, which their honest judgment must { | have condemned, simply because few men’s minds rise above the Zeitgeist. to write and object to burning heretics and 7 not acknowledge the authority of the ec- clesiastical organization. Indeed, it took + many hundred years to get the human mind out from under the load and menace . of religious absolutism. In the days of Shakespeare few dared to question the divine right of kings, which to most minds now is a joke, Masses easily take things for granted. They take it for granted that the Demo- cratic and Republican parties mean some- thing. They don’t, but that makes little | difference. These partisan lines in time will disap- pear. No thing absolutely without sense can continue forever. But the public mind moves slowly. And in the meanwhile we have to do the best we can. We must vote for and live under the officials which parties choose, But we don’t have to say there is any intelligenee to the Party system, when there is none. {tn ail dla stein fs | } | | ’Twould Be 4 Rare Perfume wit Our European cousins have made fame and fortune by, We heard the following sir success in imprisoning the scents of fruits and flow- tion whiie“riding in an e .
