The Burning or Judas.
It is the custom, says the Bulr
leUti) iu some countries during
"Holy "Week" to burn Judas in
effigy. This custom is observed
with great emphasis iu Mexico
and in many of the Latin com
munities of Central and South
America. Judas was a traitor.
He betrayed his master with a kiss:
received money for his treachery.
But, after all, he had the manli
ness to go and hang himself. This
final act ought to be set down in
his favor. Ho was of no further
use in the world, and got out of
it as quickly and cheaply as possi
ble. Had he lived all men would
have despised him. "When eight
een hundred years afterwards,
people demonstrate their horror
and disgust of this particular act
of treachery, the performance
might be improved a little to sig
nify utter loathing and disgust of
all who betray their masters. For
whoever is unfaithful to the trust
which has been reposed in him has
not only betrayed earthly masters,
but he has betrayed the Divine
Master. He enjoined perfect hon
esty, sincerity, truth, faithfulness.
No one can be true to his trust
who does not observe these obli
gations. Whoever fails willfully, would,
under the same circumstances,
have betraj'ed the Master, as Ju
das betrayed Him. The descend
ants of Judas are many. The line
will never run out. The individ
ual who in a fiduciary capacit'
takes money which does not be
long to him is the modern Judas.
He betrays the Master. The
man who falsifies accounts is
another. He who deceives his
friends is untrue to them, who
sacrifices them for some immedi
ate interest, is the legitimate de
scendant of Juda. He not only
ought to be bur:Hii in effigy as a
traitor, but he cannot do a better
thing for society than to follow the
example of his progenitor and go
out and hang himself. All the
embezzlers, swindlers, cheats
men who are one thing to day and
another to-morrow; whocmnot be
trusted in business or friend-hip;
who would betray the best friend
under heaven, and the Divine
Master himself if oppoitunity oc
curred, should be included in the
same expression of horror as is ex
pressed in this typical 'burning of
Judas.
If only the custom should come
to have this broader meaning1, it
might be well to observe it with
great emphasis once a year. Let
Judas be burned without fail. But
do not shut out the fact that Judas
means as well as every double
faced individual, every one who
betrays aVubt of whatever nature.
For aught that can be said to the
contrary, Judas stands as well in
the estimation of Christ as anyone
of that treacherous, deceitful and
lying crew who have betrayed Him
many times by betraying earthly
tiusts. For he said with reference
to the gift of a cup of cold water:
"Inasmuch as ye did it unto the
least of these, ye did it unto me."
Inasmuch, therefor, as a betrayal
of trust was committed against the
least of individuals, it was a be
trayal of Him. There ought to be
this broader significance of the
burning of Judas. It may be im
possible to burn out all the em
bezzlers, cheats, scoundrels, knaves
and those who in confidential re
lations betray the most sacred
trusts. But it would be quite in
order to have a t3rpical burning
once a year, with strong induce
ments for all that class to go out
and hang themselves, because
society has no further use for
them. Judas survives in a ver'
numerous progeny. It may be
hard to rid the world of them.
But the world should finally come
to hold them in the same estima
tion as a considerable part of it
now holds the memory of Judas,
his descendants would do far less
harm in the world than they are
doing now. Let the fire kindled
for Judas be hot enough to make
it uncomfortable for his descend
ants. The three Georgia pine trees
under which Jeff Davis surrender
ed nearly eighteen years ago were
recently struck by lightning and
shivered to splinters.
Poor dear Arthur, our over
worked president, is seeking re
laxation amid the orange groves
of Florada.
"We notice in a few of our ex
changes where much virtuous in
dignation is wasted on the Oregon
air because Vanderbilt gave a
grand ball in new York -where all
was gas, glass, glare and dazzle,
and the lack of intellect was made
up by a super-abundance of bul
lion. There is really no reason to
get red in the face recounting the
wrongs of the poor, because rich
people spend a little money. They
help the poor in so doing. There
were 1,000 guests at that ball.
Each g;uest spent at least $250 in
fixing up. Here is S250,000 spent
among sewing girls of New York
who are so much better off because
of the Vanderbilt's welcome extravagance.
A new invention reported from
Turin consists in the application of
light giving materials to printing
ink by which print becomes lu
minous in the dark, so that in the
future it will be possible to lead
your newspaper at night without
the assistance of a candle, pine
knot, gas light, lamp or other
customary expedient. It may be
well to likewise observe that The
"Weekly Astorian, the best local
newspaper in the Northwest is

A London dispatch says: In

Tke contents editorial and local
news seek to connect the four
dynamite prisoners with the ad
