Men Wanted.

! broadcast, and with all immense
amount of inferior seed, we propose
to advocate an early selection oi
the best stock, and an early pulling
up and throwing aside OF all that
which is evidently unfit for use.
There are candidates and candi-
dates.
There is what may be called the
perpetual, ever-blOoming candidate.
He considers himself born and
brought into the world for the sole
purpose of relieving his fellow men
of the burdens and responsibilities
of official life. If he has been al
lowed to bear those burdens for
several years, he resents, as an i'm
pertinent interference, any dispOsi-
ton on the part of the people to
transfer them to other shoulders.
He comes in time to regard the
people as his beneiciarieS, and
never considers himself as under
obligations to them. Long cOntin
ued official power makes him AFRO
CANT and dictatorial, until at last
the people, who have made him all
he is, are practically his servants,
and have to wear his yoke. If, on
the contrary, he is not elected, de-
feat does not discourage him. He
remembers that when a child he
was advised,
off at first you don't succeed
Try, try again"
He tries again. In each successive
campaign you may look for him as
confidently as for the swallows in
spring. He may receive vote so
small as to mortify any one else,
but it don't mortify him. Not a bit
OF it. 1t was not the people who
thus expressed desire for him to
take a back seat. 1t was that con-
founded "Other fellow" and he viii
beat him yet. He may, and often
does, secure the defeat of a really
meritorious candidate, and the cleo
ton of very unworthy one, by i'll
ducing his friends to throw away
their votes OH himself, and the peo-
pie, in that event, rarely stop to
consider that if they had pulled up
and thrown aside the perpetual,
ever-blooming candidate as soon as
lIe showed his head above the sur
fece, they might have elected a
competent and faithful officer.
Then there is the necessitous can
didate; variety becoming more
prolific each year, as the idea be
comes annually more prevalent that
Offices are intended, not for the
benefit of the public, but for the
benefit of office-holders. The ne
cessitOus candidate smiles at the
antiquated notion that competency
is an essential test of fitness for Of
flee. He tells you frankly that com
potency is all very well, but what
he wants Office for is because-he
needs it. He is a poor man; or he
has a large family; or he has been
unfortunate i'll business, and it is
absolutely necessary to has welfare
(he never thinks of the people's)
that he should be elected. And in
a great many instances the neces-
sitous candidate is elected just be-
cause he is necessitous. Man lis
naturally sympathetic, and it is not
easy to refuse the appeals of a man
in really necessitous circumstances.
And so the people very often de-
prive themselves of the services of
an efficient officer, for the exclusive
benefit of a single individual.
Then there is the incompetent
candidate. His name is Legion.
He hangs Ikea milestone on the
necks of the people. Like the two

THE SOUTHERN NAV.

A few weeks ago the Tribune published
a list Of bills and resolutions introduced
into the House aud Senate before the hol-
iday recess for improvements in the South
and recently list of bills and resolutions
introduced since the Te-assembling OF
Congress up to March Is. Below Is the
footing Of the list:
Total amount asked for since
holiday rcceEst rA-flHtsa--
Total amount asked for before
holiday recess, lJo,uo,uVV
Grand Total asked by and for .-..
the south, sh'-'Va''o
To appreciate the full significance of
this disclosure. il must be remembered.
that the Southern leaders are quite as well
aware as we are how odiOus the very
name of a Southern claim is to people of
the North. aud that the little bill which
has grown to this size in six months rep
resents not the whole expectation of the
South, but only that proportion of 1t
which discretion has rot had the strength
to conceal. Even the men who are back
of these bills know that it is not wise for
the South to show its appetite at all, be-
fore the Democratic party gets control Of
the Government: but their hunger Is too
much for them. This much they must
ask for. without regard to consequences.
But if they ask S200. 000. 900 in six months,
when they know it endangers their chances
of securing the National Government.
what would they take If the National
Government should be secured? Are we
to be swallowed up in the Southern mawt
bradford Opinion.

a little piece of strategy. He entered

be dangerous to attempt to get into

She took the bottle Of catchup down
from the pantry shelf, the woman on
Merchants Row, and gazed at it fond
" for a moment. She made it last
fall, bottled in an old beer bottle and
it was real nice. She placed the bot
tie on the floor and tugged furiously at
the patent stopple fastener. She didn't
tug long. The cork came out with a
laundering report straight for her ear
and coromed to the looking-glass in
the next room. The catchup followed
the cork, it was right behind it and a
good quart of it too. 1t didn't carom
either, oh no. 1t came with an ugly
gurgle and sizzle right for the eyes,
the nose the ears, Oh, it was awful.
The air seemed full Of stopples, bot
ties, shoe-strings, tomatoes and hair
pins. She arose YEARLY and kicked
the bottle over and while picking bits
of tomato skin from her earrings, kept
declaring she never would have any
more bottled catchup in her house the
longest she lived.-SwdntOn Courier.
