The school of experience is a
bsrd one, but it leaches thoroly.
It is well known that the Mes
sage has always strongly advocat
ed purity in polities and honor in
high places. If n brilliant repre-.
sedative ofllcinl allows himself
sometimes to step from the high
pedestal of honor, and, incident
ally, brings down with hira some
impressionable young son of our
citizens, then indeed is it time for
us to emphasize our advocacy for
men of moral strength.
Every uewspaper discloses the
close relationship of punishment
for law-breakera aud lock of re
aped for authority. This opposi
tion to authority so often has its
first outbreak at school. Fortu
nate tho bov. when such time
comes, whose pareuis uave me
. . iL.
.rood sense to advise respect for
tnd submission to higher author
ity. Self control added to consiu-
ration for others is truly the first
esson in life's school of success
The Ohio legislature has passed
i bill abolishing contract labor iu
he penitentiary and providing
rhnt state prisoners shall be em
ployed in the manufacture of ma
ferial for the coustruction of roads
tnd articles for the use of state in
stitutious. It states further that
persons in the county jails may be
m ployed in work ou roads in the
county tn which they are impris
oned. Looks like a good pointer
for Missouri.
The domestic troubles of the
Oastellanes are again aired in the
tewspapers, and this time also in
the courts. Judgiug from the dis
patches, the Countess has recieved
scant sympathy in Paris, even
from her husband's relatives, who,
it is said, stigmatize her as u bour-
geoise, say she paid her money for
a title, recieved her title, aud there
fore has uo reason to expect any
thing more. Bon i tie Castellane hoa
led Anna Gould aud her millious a
merry chase and now that she can
not be dissuaded from seeking
divorc the couut may display some
tbius like real penitence as last
resort.
