MISTAKES BY POLITICIANS

The desire of honorable distinction is deeply
planted in the human heart, and when secured by
worthy means cannot say it is not commendabe
not the mainspring Of manly and patriotic exerton
This motive pervades all classes, and has been man
Tested in all ages and in every country. The means
of acquiring distinction determines the qualities of
the heart of him who seeks it, and it is seldom that
these long concealed. The motives of action are
usually clearly seen by calm and close observers,
and especially in the political world. Men seeking
distinction often forget however, that others can
penetrate their motives through all the DISCUSSES
with which they attempt to conceal them. Politi-
clans often desire that the country shall credit to
their patriotism what should be charged to their
ambition. They do not to realize the fact that
the public will keep their account correctly, how
ever enormously they may state it. When politi-
cal man seeks to secure to himself special distinc
ton, not shared by his party the motive becomes
as apparent as the sun in clear sky at noon
he covets fame which the principles of his
party will not confer. He in effect says II am
wiser and better than my party and desire the world
to know it." Instead of going with his friends upon
the common road, and sharing with them the labors
and honors of their common position he mounts
elevation by the way, and calls upon them to look
at their superior and then suggests they had better
follow him. Ambition, and not merit, has been com
uniting these mistakes in all past time, and seems
destined to continue to do so. In some high posi-
lions, temporary distinction has been acquired by
these means, but no has been made President
of the United States by resorting to them. Not a
man has secured that high station by assuming
special perfection which was not common to his po-
htca party ard no has been elevated to it ex-
