RIGHTEOUS REFORMERS.
WHAT THEY DESIRE TO DO AND
HOW THEY HOPE TO DO IT.
Their Last nig Meeting Analyzed uml Crit-
icised—An Attempt to Hasten the Mil-
lennium — Wniinnmker Indorsed—
Where Opposition Comes From.
Washivotov, April 10.—[Special]—Nonr-
ly everybody it seems in this iioiyliborliooii
„ith tho possiblo siuKlo exception of my-
self, is a reformer. A reformer is a person
Who wants tbe conduct of people in and out
of odiee regulated by law, and by a law
built on tbe lines of right and wrong as
drawn by tbe reformer. JIo Is a man, who
having "sworn olT" from tobacco and whis-
ky, wants every olhei* person to swear off
will if they will not do it to "put tbe law
to them." He is a man who, understand-
ing the technicalities of business, would
liavo a typewriter to understand such tech-
nicalities, besides understanding bis busi-
ness before being allowed a job in one of tbe
departments, lie is a man who, resting
tho most of his time, has become infatuated
with its pleasures and wants the law to de-
mand rest for everybody in one day in the
week. He is a man who, having failed to
get a rebate in freight, wants tbe railroads
regulated. On tho whole be ia a man who
wants to hurryjup the millennium without
considering the natural disposition of
human nature to wrongdoing and
general perverseue.su. As this is
tho seat of government it is
natural that reformers should abound
here, as they can by so doing more
easily reach the ear of the law makers, upon
whom they mostly depend for a general re-
formation of the sons and daughters of this
republic who are giddy and indisposed to
■It and listen to homilies from reformers as
to what they should do. The reformers
preach their different doctrines in the main
part to demonstrate their earnestness, for
n\ne in ten of them, when they reach the
point where they want to bo effective, they
at onco apply to tbe law making power.l At
an early date in their work they abandon
hope of induciug people to subscribe to tbo
wisdom of their doctrines by the turf of their
eloquence and in nearly all eases
rosort to tho stone of the law.
They come here singly and in squads.
They walk hero and riilo here in cars. If
they can't hire a hall they talk on the
street corners. Some argue, some sing.
boiiio illustrate their views iu an allegorical
way by drawing pictures on blackboards
which nro placed on the municipal high-
ways. You can c° iu the senate and yon
hear some senator droning about the wick-
edness of the world. In the house seme
representative is howling on the same sub-
ject. Ou tho street corner somu fakir cf
narrow ideas is holding forth to his motley
audience, and in tho halls bespectacled
women and unkempt male ranters nro ham-
mering the evil we aro prone to with might
and main. And yet the great crowd goes
merrily alongobdurately, refusing to pauso
In its inad career, toward the lake of ever-
lasting fire.
The thirsty man gets himself a drink.
Tho boys and tbe girls flirt. The youngster
eneaks away to fish on Sunday. The men
leve the women and the women love the
men. The mothers assist their daughters
in arraying themselves in any and vain at-
tire. Tho fathers secretly laugh at tbe es-
capades of sons; and all in all, tho world is
About as happy ns it w.<s in the good old
times when our fathers wero cherubims in
breeches and our mothers angels in frocks
the LAST gathering.
The last congregation of reformers at
"Washington was a rather large one. If it
bad been a political meeting it would have
been called small, but as your genuine all-
round reformer is hard to corral with his
fellows, this particular meeting could be
called large. By some oversight, which the
worshipers of the founders of the republic
can not account for, the name of tho tu-
preme being was omitted from the constitu-
tion. This fact has been a source of great
annoyance to many good people for many
Sears, and many of our woes are attributed
y them to the omission. They do not de-
aire tbe correction made, possibly, in order
to sidetrack the woes, but as a christian
people professing au appreciation of
the goodness of tho supremo bo-
Ing in permitting and contributing
to the establishment of this government,
they believe that the honor and reverence
due him should be expressed by a reforma-
tion in the constitution by the mention of
his name. Reverence for him is the duty
of man. They therefore argue, and witb
reason and strength too, that the organic
Jaw about which wo talk so much and which
we expand and contract to suit our conven-
ience so often--the great constitution which
we swear by and know so little about, shall
be so amended that the name of the su-
preme being shall appear thereiu, and
people taught to respect the name
which the charter of human rights
(from the American standpoint) respects.
The meeting declared this should be
done. Now there are those who op-
pose this idea, good christian people
too. because an election for this purpose
would give every loud unbeliever an oppor-
tunity to air his ideas on tbo stump and,
for a season at least, we would have a reg-
ular Texas prohibition campaign time
throughout the whole country. Then there
are others who think that such an amend-
ment would be a direct insult to our fore-
fathers, as it would charge them with a
lack of Diety, if not raise tho question as to
whether not they were infidels. Then there
are others who object to tbe amendment as
Pharisaical—that is, that a pure and holy
love and respect for the supreme being op-
pose the writing of his name in every im-
iiortant document and the use of it in a
oud voice at every public meeting. Theu
the:-e are wicked persons who will protest
that tbe supremo being had no more to do
with the foundation of this republic than
he did witb the overthrow of the French
republic by Napolean. Still, the matter is
not likely to be considered by this congress,
which is now very gravely, yet excitedly'
working in tbe arithmetical proposition of
how to appropriate for pensions, public im-
provements and carrying on the govern-
ment £400,000,000 when tbe revenues are not
that much, anu still have money to show as
evidence of their abilities as financiers. The
meeting having disposed of thiB matter re-
BOtved that tbe Blair Sunday rest bill should
become a law. Boiled down this bill pro-
poses to make the fourth commandment of
the decalogue a law of the United States of
America. It is urged that tbe command-
ments against theft and murder have been
repeated by tho law. True, but the other
side will urge that they are of-
fenses against person and property,
and the laws aro absolutely necessary
for tbeir protection. And it will further
urge that with this interference by law witb
the right of a man to dispose of his time as
ae pleases lays the predicate for his control
by tbe government as to what kind of re-
ligion be shall have. It will be claimed
tbat the government having gone thus far
can enact the ntth commandment and even
the tenth commandment where theoffense is
In wishing perhaps rather than in effort to
bring abort the accomplishment of the
wish. And an opposition might arise from
another source not expected by those in
favor of this reform, and that among that
class of christian citizens who believe tbe
government's power should be limited to
the protection of the lives and property of
Citizens, and tlje churches should take care
Of the morals of the people. The man who
has to be clubbed by tho law in ordor to
prevent bun from doing wrong will not
make a shining angel, anyhow. In my
opinion lie who is prevented by the law nlone
from working on Sunday will hardly keep
tho recording angel busy in crediting him
witb jest acts.
OTHER REFORMS DEMANDED.
The meeting naturally resolved that
gambling and tippling should bo interdicted
by law. There is no state in tbe union
which has not savago laws nguinst the
former and many possess laws against tbe
liquor trnflic. But human nature is so
mean and debased that there Is not a town
in this whole blessed country where a
poker Kanie can not bo found, and not a
state in the union in which there is not a
race track. Kven if these could be sup-
pressed re:tl estate will always be witii us,
and booms could scarcely be provided
against. It is even intimated that strin-
gent iaws against the liquor traffic iu pro-
hibition states have been of 110 cffect.
Tbea the meeting declared auainut a stand-
ing armv. Tbe reason for this reaolutiou is
not clear to me. The presumption is tbat
the reformers advocating a perfect goodness
and perfect peace on earth disapproved of
war as typified iu our standing army.
It may be very sinful for a government to
keep a standing army, thus teaching its
people that the shedding of blood is a better
way to settle international questions tbsu
an appeal to arbitration, but if it is this
government lias little to answer for. Its
army is such a little baby anyhow. The re-
formers then resolved tbat. the school
moneys shouldjboidlstrlbuted among the re-
ligions denominations for carrying on the
sclioo's. There is 110 necessity for com-
menting on tbis other than to say that
there are several very fooiish people who
say that if tbis were dono that tliero would
be a Baptist hand in a Catholic's hair and
Catholic's band in Presbyterian hair, and
such a row among all the sects as would
make the stars blmk and dodge. It was
agreed that kissing tbe bible when taking
an oath should be done away
with, because it was a relic of idolatry. Up-
lifting the hand as a direct appeal to God
was advocated ns a ceremony iu taking tbe
oath. The meeting then indorsed Wana-
maker and adjourned. This convention or
meeting was of moral reformers. There are
thousands of people who will ridicule their
work, btcause '.they believe it visionary, or
being su^ceptiblo of accomplishment w ould
amount to nothing. Yet these same people
will listen very seriously to the arguments
advanced by senators as to tho best way to
prevent >runts in a country where lavs
breed thom, and will consider as
wise tbo proposition that tho govern-
ment shall resoivo itself into a mammoth
bank to advance money to tho national
banker, the fanner anil every other person
who has collateral and wants to borrow.
The moral reformers want to make us all
bettci. I honestly wish they could do some-
thing in that line, anil if they only concoct
a medicino that will do so, they may put
me down for one of the first prescriptions.
The other reformers want to make us all
happy by giving us money and relieving us
of the necessity of diligence, industry and
economy. The ideas of tho farmer aro not
ono whit more extravagant and unreason
able than the latter. If ft man is in the
hone a wicked and ungodly man, all tho
laws that can be conceived of will not
change him. If a man i3 shiftless and lazy
all the lav:s that can be conreived will not
make him saving and industrious. The
barn yard foul can not be cooped or fed to
stand the gaffle. Tho turkey cock can not
be made to sing. Man strives much harder
for the unattainable than he works; he
strives to care for and develop tbat which
be is possessed of. _
