Public Men and Morale.
Public men, says the Hartford Post. not
only in Ireland but everywhere will make
a great mistake if they conclude that the
church has lost any of its influence asa
guardian of the morals of the people.
There may beabundant evidences’ of a di-
'_minished austerity in religious opinion and
elief. Undoubtedly there are. But. it is
not a loss in the moral sentiment of the
people. It is rather a gain, for it places
Illigion upon a more rational basis, giving
‘gieater prominence to its moral intiuence.’
It is safe to say that no politician can
. remain long in public life who directly
antagonizes the chutrch. He may be weak
morally. It is a sad fact that many of. our
public men are, but so long as he does at t
sneer at morals and at the church, tie
voters may continue to favor him. _
The irregularity of Parnell’s private life
hlsbeen known for some time to the people
of Ireland. Yet as a leader he did not
absolutely forfeit their approval and sup-
port till he persisted in a recklss course of
mlking light of his. shortcomings and of
pr lcticully defying the church and the influ-.
ence of moral people.
The defeat of Mr. Parnell’s candidate,
which is the same as a defeat for Parnell, is
a wholesome lesson for all public men. It
is egregious folly to slltw a contempt for
the moral sentiments of the people.
