The Daily Review. Towanda, Pa., Tuesday, Feb., 10, ICSO. editors : 8. W. ALVOIiI). NOBLE N. ALVORD. ** Unity Review" only 25 cent per month. Try it. Hiding liehind the Majority. The devil came as an individual when he tempted Eve, but nowadays he usually attacks men as a corporation. Take the average business man, for instance; it is safe to assume that he is an honest, con scientious fellow ; he would not wrong his grocer or his booblack of tt penny. Hut give him the smallest share in a part nership, and he will calmly consent that "the Works" should put China elay in their drillings or sand in their sugar to the cheating of thousands of poorer pur chasers, or should even adulterate their drugs to the destruction of human life. Individually, he will go to church to-day and drop his money in the box for foreign missions, with the sincere prayer that it be blessed to the coversion and civiliza tion of some poor heathen; to-morrow, as one of the linn, he will issue orders to his salesmen to get rid of certain unsala ble stock to unwary country customers at maximum prices; or he will instruct his new shipping-clerk how to cheat the customs of their usual per centage of the duties. He knows well enough that such teaching to lads and young men begin ning a business life infects their life with the dry-rot of corruption; but it is not lie, it is "the trade" that does it. Or, take another man, who is in tem perament tender-hearted and sensative as a woman, who would not look on to see J; worm needlessly hurt; yet he belongs to a little sect that triumphantly consigns all the rest of mankind to eternal and in exorable torture because it does not, sub mit to its dictation in certain dogmas; and the idea of this wholesale cruelty does not revolt him at all. If lie had lived, too, in the time of the world when his sect had power, lie wouid have ap proved its use of thumbscrew, fago. and rack to do to deai li its helpless ticTms. Remember how many merciful men and gentle women consented to these things in the old time simply because their hideous creed came to tiiem sanc tioned by a great majority, a host, of t heir congeners and forefathers. Or take oth ers of our readers of a still higher class, refined and honorable Christians; as commercial men, scholars or clergymen, whatever their domestic life or business relations may be, they are scrupulously careful to fulfil every duty. Yet gigantic frauds, and cruel injustice may be carried on by the political party ol' which they are nominal members or by the govern ment which they helped to form, and they do not stretch out a linger to reform either. The good man sitting by his chimney-corner shakes his head sadly when lit; reads of the corruption in his own party, and thanks God that he knows nothing of rings and long since ceased to take any part in politics. He read two years ago of the cold-blooded murder In order of the Government of seventy-live helpless men, women and babies; he reads now of the robery, tue banishment and slow starvation of whole tribes, and it sounds to him like a disagreeable but far-off"song, "lie has nothing todo with it." Has he nothing to do with it? The decent, honorable citizen who refuses to take part in politics, who passively hands over the control of his city or State to rings or men whom he knows to he knaves and swindlers is just as responsi ble for its management as they are. The voter, who knows of a blot upon the Na tional honor and a crime like that of sla very, or the slow slaughter of the Indians now going on, and does not protest against it, is personally guilty of it. it is against him, not against an impersonal "country," that the voice of his brother's I blood cries aloud from the ground. It is not in u garden that the Cain of to-day hides from God; It is in majorities. "If," sings llosea Biglow, "you take a sword and draw it, Go and run a fellow through, j Government ain't to answer for it, God'll 1 send the bill to "you." The habit of throwing responsibility off, of your own shoulders on to a party, sect or corporation has increased in modern ] times. There are very few men who are ! not guilty of it. We suspect that one | reason why women are considered more , couscieentious and religious than men is i because they seldom work in associations ; or corporate bodies. The routine of their i lives makes ihein personally accountable I to God. That the tendency is in thorn is | shown by the fact that they are just as ready to be dishonest provided the vie- i tim is a corporation. What woman thinks j it wrong to smuggle or cheat the Govern ment? In old times the indiuidual man stood face to face with God; the terrible Presence forever held perpetual reckoning | with his soul, though he lied to hide in the j uttermost parts of the morning, or made his bed in hell. Now, he is a part of a i sect, of society—he is so much a church member, a Republican, an American, that he forgets he is a man with a soul for which no man can answer but himself. I Of one thing he may be certain, that j there will come a time when neither his I linn nor his church nor his country will be present for liiiu to hide under. Out in i that solitude his soul wiil stand alone with God in judgement, and answer for itsown shortcomings.— Tribune,. JpitKT SAWING.
