IGNORANCE FARAWAY MOSES PHILOSOPHIZ ING AGAIN. The 014 Mae Relates Several In stances Where Fire and Uaa- dalterated Ignorance was net Bliss, [From Pennsylvania Grit.] Tbere is not mnch difference be tween the ignorance of science, and the science of ignorance. When we think we know a thing, or know we think a thtng of think, or a think ing thing, just as yon pnt it Some of our most boasted scienti fic truths turn out at last, when the light of reason shines on them, to be simply a job of polished ignor ance. Years ago science taught the peo ple that the world was fiat; at least the seience the people taught in those days pictured the world as a flat slab of matter, setting still like a whip-poor-will on a setting of new laid eggs, while the sun dived under it every night and bobbed up on the other side early in the morn ing. The wise people believed this as firmly as a Republican believes in tariff, and it is as fair to call it the science of ignorance, as it would be to call it ignorance ef science. Years and years ago the great sci ence of medicine taught the people to use hog-lice tea for consumption. This was a science of ignorance, if ever ignorence was reduced to a sci ence ; but have the doctors discov ered a better cure for the same dis ease now ? Is not medicine still the science of ignorence to a very great extent? Not many years ago the science of health was to bleed a sick man to death, and thus kill him before the disease got its work in. Now they let the disease work away slowly while the doctor’s bleed the victim’s pockets, but he dies, all the same, victim to the science of ignorence or the ignorence of science just as the coroner sees fit to term it Polieicians and statesmen get up and boast of bow much they know about the science of government, and the science of money; and just when they imagine that they know it al—know ten times more than other people equally, as ignorant— just when their knowledge of money becomes so' dense and hefty that it hurts their head, we have a money panic and a stagnation of business and misery and poverty all over the country, and these very, very wise statesmen can’t locate the cause of it any more than a blind man can tell yon the size of a boil on the back of your neck by feeling with his cane. Good lands of cracked corn in an empty skull, our wise men of civi lized world have been talking about the science of progress, and the sci ence of love and charity and philan throphy and population and religion, and all the time the reign of injuS' tioe is growing poorer and mean men meaner, and good men growing good-for-nothing, and ignorence polished up and set in high places and called science. Good lands of misery with margin of mangled mvnhood man ipulating the market, we talk civilization, and boast of onr but cities with their fine churses ant halls of justice and art and science and modern beauty; but go behint the sconce and look uphn the legal izedoaime and unnoticed proverty and hoarhr, and learn how the ex penses of those big cities arn poid: Licensed saloons, licensed gamb ling dens, licensed heuses of pros titution, (where each poor miserable God-forsaken is fined so mnch per month for police protection.) Pooh, great cities become so accus tomed to poverty and crime that tne citizens pass it udnotioed. The wealthy cieizen feel so far above the lower class that he feels nh in trest in their poverty and crime so long as they do not personally attack him, and the poorer classes have become so used to being despisee thot the! no longer have a desire to sire to rise about their uhfortunate companions. There will never be perfect civi lizateon justice, perfect moralty, perfect liberty; perfect men, women and children, so long as men crowd into great cities and live by skinning eacd other and leaping taxes from prostitution —never 1!! Of course, country reople many be “gree” may not have their iguorpnee polished up as scientifically as city folks, but they can not look upon crime and poverty and hunger and immorolity with the same ease and comfort that the poliihed city midst of folks earn assume in the human degradation. - I like to laugh myself «t the simplicity and bold dlunders of country fhlks. I remember when I was a boy sometime before the war, when state banks were in their full bloom, and were likely to be busted up as sud denly as the collapse of a soap bub ble, a lot of country people were sit ting in front of a grocery store in our town, when the news came that the one bank we boasted of had closed its doors. Everybody sat still for a moment as though completely shocked, then up jumped old Pete Davis mounted iis old horse and slashed him with liis old slouch hat until he broke in to a wild and wobbly gallop in the direction of the Davis home, which was located about a mile out of town. In about an hour Davis came ri ding back slowly, hitched his old wrse to a tree and cl'med up on the box where he had been seen sitting when the news of the broken bank reached us, and went on whittling as usual. “What was the cause of your leav ing us so suddenly, Mr. Davis” in quired old man Johnson ? “Oh, I jist ran home to see how many bank bills we had on hand be longing to this broken bank” he re plied without displaying any feeling. “How many did you have ?” in quired old man Johnson. “None at all.” “Ah, you are lucky, but are you sure that your bills are out of good sound banks of stand ? “We haven’t a dod bim bill in any sort in the house on any bank.” “Then what made you ride so fast?” “Oh, jist to make sure that we couldn’t lose anything by the burst ing of this ’ere bank.” he replied as he went whittling at a pine stick, feeling perfectly happy and conten ted with life. The World’s Fair was opened with prayer. This opening in concluded all the saloons inside the gates, all the skin games, all the extortion hotel keepers, all the overcharges of railroads, and all other money mak ing schemes in the city both moral and immoral. It was all opened with prayer in a Christianized city, and people were simple enough to believe that God would give Chicago a spec ial blessing. I knew a gambled who always open ed a jackpot with a prayer, and every time he won he imawined it was answer to his prayer. He was better man than Chicago too. The Mormons open all their balls and dances with prayer, and imagine that God gives it a special blessing on acount of it Utah is no worse as far as morality is concerned, than Chicago. Pretty soon it will be the fashion for burglars to open a safe with prayer. One time when I was at a church festival back in old Hardscrabble, and had my two cousins and their maiden aunt along, and we four sat at a table eating ice cream to pay off our church debt, a long whiskered stranger came and sat down by the same table, and looking piously over at the old maiden aunt he opened up a conversation with her by inquiring how much the church debt was, ant suggesting that we snould pray more often and serious, and pay libera contributions to the building fund. After that he drifted off and spoke of the hard times, an ' ran his finger through his long be 1 and oombec out all the loose hair and said: “When I came here about six weeks to settle down and do business with the farmers, I invested all my capital in the business and expected to do a paying trade : but the times are getting so dull and the market so low that the cautious farmer is afraic to take risks, so I have an establish ed business, but no customers, and cannot afford to pay tribute to pub lic improvement like I should if trade was brisk.” Then he branched off and talked about building parsonages and about church architecture, and touched lightly on politics, saying that found it injured his business to take a decided stand on politics. After a little while he c tiled for ice cream for our whole crowd, and we couldn’t refuse, because we were paying off our church debt, but all the time we were eating he complain ed about the bard times, and wished he could sell out to some good and pious man, I didn’t ask him what his business was, because I had been sizing him up, and I knew where he belonged, and 1 was anxious to get the women folks away before they asked hin his profession, for I could see he was the very science of ignorance. in But I was too late. The good old maiden aunt was rousted up in her feelings and was carried away by her sympathy, and she looked the beard ed stranger kindly in the eyes and sweetly inquired ? “My good man, would you-kindly inform us what profession you follow ?” ‘Oh certrinly 1 I never make a se cret of my business, for I believe in advertising liberally and cheerfully in all conceivable manner and places. own the finest and most thorough bred Norman percheron horse in the sta—” The woman were shouting to a fe male acquaintance away over cn the opposite side of the house before he had half advertised his profession so lie told all his troubles to me exclu sively, poor man. A good many years ago when I l ived on the old homestead in Mildew hollow, one of the snberbs of Hard scrabble, while dear old Melinda was still alive and able to slide np and down on the washboard at 30 strokes per minute an old, sickly looking man came to our house one eveuing late in the fall, and asked to stay all night. We kept him of course and the next morning he was very ill and could not get up and go drifting about the world. I wanted to send for a doctor, bnt he said he did not wish to get well. He wanted to die and go where all was peace and harmony and happi ness. He requested me to get pen, paper and ink and write out a will for him I wanted to send for a justice of the peace, but he wouldn’t hear to it He said I could do it just as well, and he didn’t want any body to know his name, for fear his family would find out where he was anb come for him. So I wrote the will. His first be quest to his eldest son surprised me: “A flour mill situated in Berks coun ty, Pa., ale'' a farm of 108 acres ad joining the mill property, and one- fifth of the $40,000 deposited m a Harrisburg bank.” To his daughter Rebecca, “Six lots in the city of Philadelphia, on which are erected an opera house and six store rooms; a fifth interest in the bank account, and the family pianno,” To his other three children he di vided up the balance of his fortune, to be, at the very lowest valuation, $730,000, leaving only $10 to his wife, Catherine Yerks. He signed the paper in our pres ence, and Melinda, and one of our old neighbors signed it with their cross as witnesses, and then after pledging all of us to secrecy, and ex acting a promise that we would care for him unlil death, and not notify his family of his whereabouts until his old eves were closed in death, for he did not wish his wife to find him, (she had made his life misearble), he requested me to add a codicil to the will, in which he instructed his exe- cuters to pay to those who cared for him in his last illness the sum of $2,000, also his watch and chain and diamond rinh that was in his box at the safe-deposit building in Har risburg was to be given to the kind people who made his last hours com fortable. Well, the old man lingered all winter sometimes sitting up to play checkers with me, while his appetite seemed to grow better as he grew ol der, for his piety seemed to dwindle as the spring weather grew milder, but later in April he walked off with out even voting me a resolution of thanks. Now, if that wasn’t the most scien tific scheme ever worked on anybody’s ignorance, I’ll eat my socks. Faraway Moses. When You Sneeze Cough, Choke, and for Breath, Qasp BEWARE!
