PuMlo Morals.
Are public morals improving? The
question has nothing to do with the
moral status of ourown thriving little
town, except in a general way. It i
not my purpose to specialize, but to
generalize. I have beeu led to ask this
question of myself, and of the public,
as a consequence resultant of the daily
perusal, of embezzlement, defalcation.
bankruptcies, and partisan vitupera
tion.
A recent English writer naA nrl.
vanced the argument, that we have
reached the zenith, political and social,
of our development, consequently
there must soon follow a period of
retrogression; civilization will be
thrown back upoi, itself, Individual
effort will cease, personal character
will deteriorate, and moral stagnation
ensue. If the assertions of thi. writer
tie true, it is important that we exam
ine their bearings and influence on
the present. Society is governed by
the prevailing type of character in the
community; and characler is the result
or nereaity, circumstances, and habit.
Hence the inquiry prompts itself,
whether the influences of the present
times are such as U improve our mor
ulsorto deteilorate them. When It
conies to public peculation, it must be
confessed, we are abnormally lax. The
use or puuucofflce and public funds for
private gains, the eagerness to net hold
oi suiwidtes, tat contracts, and unde-
served offices, does not speak of a high
moral ton In , Mi- .., 8
moral tone in our public affairs
Railroads are forced into the hnnrta
of receivers by fraudulent manipula
tion of their affairs, and the hovorof
our courU is travestied by the appoint
ment of receivers, whosa aole purpose
is to complete the ruin of the road. No
more glaring Instance could be cited
than is shown In the case of the Read
ing railroad, of Peuu., yel the North
ern Pacific, the Santa Fe, and our own
O. P., differ from it only In degree.
Turning from public to private insti
tutions, let us inquire how many of
our recent bank failures were due to
culpable dishonesty, on the part of
nana omciuis. The silver bill, the tar
iff, and the change of administrations,
had nothing to do with It. Take m,i
own bank for instance, will any one
deny for an Instant that it was the re
sult of culpable negligence and crimi
nal carelessness, oil the nart of the
managing- officials. I do not Impugn
the private honesty of the irentlemen?
on the contrary I believe them to be
honest enough in private affairs; but
private honesty was overthrown by
political greed on the part of Cowan
and his henchmen, and the deDositora
foot the bill. You may call this mis
placed confidence, but I call itrobbery.
The man, who, on the public highway,
presents a pistol to your head, with a
demand for your money, is entitled to
be considered an huueat mail and a
gentleman, when compared with oue
of these.
But let us examine unother phase of
this question. It is extremely doubt
ful if crimes against property are on
the increase. Too many dangers beset
the pursuit of tlie robber to render it
attractive. Crimes against social order
are infrequent, especially so lu our
small towns, where the standard of
morals is higher than iu our large
cities. But on one point I am not so
certain we are improving; I 8peuk of
the crime of drunkeuem. It is urged
by many this evil is disappearing, but
tlie fact remains that we coiibumed
three millions more barrels of beer in
1893 than in the preceding year, tlie
sum total being half a barrel for each
person iu the U. S. This is, discourag.
