Learn to Unite Strings.

ONE story of the eccentric Stephen
Girard says that he once tested the
quality of a boy who applied for sit
uation by giving him match loaded
at both ends, and ordering him to light
it. The boy struck the match, and aft
er it had burned about half its length,
threw it away. Girard dismissed him
because he did not save the other end
for future use. The boys failure to
notice that the match was double-end
one was natural enough, considering
how matches are generally made; but
haste and heedlessness Ga habit of
careless observatory are responsible for
a great part of the waste of property in
the world.
Said one of the most successful mer-
chants of Cleveland, Ohio, a day or two
since, to a lad who was opening a par
Gel, "Young man, unite those strings
don't cut them.''
1t was the first remark he had made
to new employe. 1t was the first
lesson the lad had to learn. and it in
volved the principles of success or fail
ure in business career. Pointing to a
well-dressed man behind the counter,
he said:
''There is man who always whips
out his scissors and cuts the strings of
the packages in three or four places.
He is good salesman, but he will
never be anything more. Ipresume he
lives from hand to mouth, and l pre-
sumo is more or less in debt. The
trouble with him is that he was never
taught to save.
81 told the boy just now to unite the
string, not SO much for the value of the
string, as to teach him that everything
is to be saved, and nothing wasted. If
the idea can be firmly impressed upon
the mind of Il beginner in life that
nothing was made to be wasted, you
have laid the foundation of success

About Staying Too Long in Friendly
Visits.

ONE class of persons will need an
especial amount of grace this summer.
We mean those women who, having
worked hard in their homes all winter,
are visited by their city friends all
summer. Perhaps they have married
the sons who by fate of fortune have
kept the old homes. All the brothers
and sisters, with their troops of chill
dren, must come back to the shade
trees and meadows for a quiet rest.
Perhaps they have no special love for
the woman who presides over the old
time house, but it is such a convenient
thing to have Il place to visit where
there are no board bills to pay. Ten to
one, the wife in the country is more
worn than her city relatives, and is in
no wise able to bear the extra care or
manage the additional cooking. For
by force of circumstances, she has been
dressmaker, milliner and servant, may
be, in her large family the whole year
through. She has turned dresses
wrong side out and upside down. She
has made every dime go its far
thest. And now the visitors have come
to use up all herself sacrifice has saved.
II might have been pleasant to have re-
ceived them for three days, but when
they remain three months, the case is
different. We once heard a gentleman
remark that he 'could say all the new
things he had to say to visitors in one
day." and, as a rule. we quite agree
with him. The cheapest way to visit is
to 60 to hotel or boarding house, and
pay an equivalent for what one receives.
Of course, one has congenial friends
whom it is a pleasure to see much and
often; but too many so-called friends
are persons who are serving their own
persons who never offer
to help in kitchen or parlor. and who
seem oblivious to the fact that anything
is beng done for them. Don't make
your summer trip at the expense of
comfort. Let your religion,
if you profess it, permeate all your
plans, especially those for summer WIS.,

full, without the loss of commercial inter
course between the two powers, which prom
lses great increase of rec procal trade and
the enlargement of our markets. Should
these efforts fail. it win be the duty of Con-
gress to mitigate the evils already felt, and
prevent their increase by such restrictions as
without violence or injustice, will place upon
sure foundation the peace of our communi-
Ties and the freedom and di nifty of labor.
THE CIVIL. SERVICE.
The appointment of citizens to the various
executive and judicial offices of the Govern
ment is perhaps the most difficult of all the
duties which the Constitut on has imposed
upon the Executive. The Constitution wise
ly demands that Congress shall cooperate
with the Executive Departments in placin :
the civil service on a better basis. Expert
ence has proved that, with our frequent
changes of administration, no system of re-
form can be made eject and permanent
without the aid of legislation. Appoint
ments to the military and naval service are
SO regulated by law and custom as to leave
but little ground of complaint. 1t may not
be wise to make similar regulations by law
Tor the civil service; but, without IN
yading the authority or necessary dis
erection of the Executive, Congress should
devise method that will determine the
tenure of Office and greatly reduce the uncer-
tainy which makes that service so uncertain
and unsatisfactory. Without depriving any
officer of his rights citizen, the Govern
ment should require him to discharge all his
official duties with intelligence, efficiency and
faitbfulness. To select wisely from our vast
population those who are best fitted for the
many offices to be filled requires an ac-
quaintance far beyond the range of any one
man. The Executive should, therefore, seek
and receive the information and assist ance of
those whose knowledge of the communities
in which the duties are to be performed best
qualities them to aid them in making the
wisest choice.
THE DOCTRINES OF THE PARTY
The doctrines announced by the Chicago
Convention are not the temporary devices of
n al u nlp otf m
they are deliberate convictions resulting from
a careful study of the spirit of our institu-
tions the events of our history snd the best
impulses of our people. In my judgment,
these principles should control the legislation
and administration of the Government. In
any event, they will guide my conduct until
points a better way. If elected, it
will be my purpose to enforce strict Ole 1ience
to the Constitution and the laws, and to pro-
mote, as best / may, the interest and honor
of the whole country, relying for support
upon the wisdom of Congress, the intelli-
gence and patriotism of the people ard the
favor of God. With great respect, | am very
truly yours, JAMES A. GARFIELD.
To the Hon. George F. Hoar, Chairman OF
Committee.

to go Republican. In the spirited con-
test of 1876 New York gave TiIden
and Hendricks majority of $4,000,
New Jersey majority of $4,000, and
Connecticut majority of 1900; but
Pennsylvania went for Hayes by ma
jOrity of 1900.
Under ordinary circumstances, these
four States might be expected to vote in
November next as they did four years
ago. Even such result would more
than suffice to elect Hancock and En-
glish, for New Jersey, New York and
Connecticut cast fifty votes, which is
three more than the Democratic candi-
dates will need with the whole vote of
the South.
But with General Hancock at the
head of the ticket, the circumstances
are not OF an ordinary character as far
as these four States are concerned
There are now living in Pennsylvania
New Jersey, New York and Connecti-
cut at least two hundred thousand
voters who served with General Han
cock in the army of the Potomac, while
tens of thousands of them, first and last,
served under him. The two hundred
thousand have been with him in MANY
battle for the preservation of the Union,
and the tens of thousands have seen
him, sword in hand, fighting shoulder
to shoulder with them in the thickest
press. With General Hancock backed
BY the united Democracy of these four
States, the probability that the extra
soldier vote will prove ample to main
tain the Democratic majorities of 1876
in the three States that went for Til
den. and to capture the nine thousand
votes in Pennsylvania which are needed
to turn that State over to Hancock,
must be admitted to be reasonably
strong.
But we have overlooked Indiana, and
its fifteen electoral votes, which were
cast for Tilden and Hendricks four years
ago. The State naturally inclines to
the Democracy. The Cincinnati Con-
vention has strengthened the ticket by
placing William H. English upon it as
the candidate for Vice-PresideDt. He
is one of the ablest and most popular
men in the State, and his name will
most likely secure it to the Democrats
in the preliminary election in October,
just as Hendricks secured it in 1876.
This will render the triumph of Han
cock and English in November by
handsome majority both natural and

LATE NEWS ITEMS.

GEN. ARTHURS letter OF acceptance
of the Republican nomination for Vice.
President was published on the 18th. Tho
writer claims that the colored voters have
been and are practically debarred of their
right to vote in many of the former slave
holding States, and that their only hope for
securing the free exercise of the franchise
lies in the success of the Republican party.
He indorses the resolution referring to the
public service adopted by the Chicago Con-
vention, and adds thereto his opinion that
the acceptance of public Office, high or
low, does not relieve one of any Of his
responsibilities citizen or impair
any of his rights to speak and act in
political matters according TO his own
will and conscience. In conclusion fIe urges
that Democratic success in the coming cleo
ton can only be achieved by the ''united sup
port of that section which sought
the forcible destruction Of the Union,
and which, according to all teachings of our
past history, will demand ascendancy in the
councils of the party, TO whose triumph it
will have made by far the largest contribu-
ton"

The recent Presidential contest in
Mexico did not result in an election by the
popular vote, neither candidate having a
majority. Gen. Gonzales has a plurality,
and it is believed he will be elected by Con-
gress, in which event President Diaz will
enter the Cabinet as Minister of War and
become Chief of the Army.

Gen. Pope to turn over to the civil authori-

Figures Worth Considering.

The Garfield Republicans have not
the slightest hope of carrying a single
Southern State. This assures .l3S
Electoral votes to General Hancock.
He will need only AZ Electoral votes in
the Northern States to complete the
requisite majority of 1S5. Where can
he get them?
The States Of Pennsylvania. New Jer-
sev, New York and Connecticut cast 70
votes, namely: Pennsylvania, %; New
jersey, .; New York, 50, and Connect
lieut.. 6. On II straight pull between the
two parties, New Jersey and New York
are decidedly Democratic. and Connect

-"Nothing,can intimidate me from
doing what | believe to be honest and
right" wrote General Hancock in 1867,
when the greedy horde of thieves and
plunderers who hungered for the life
blood of Louisiana and Texas found him
resolutely guarding those States. That
sounded his death-knell, and Congress
tied him hand and foot by hostile legis-
lation, SO that he was compelled to APP
ply for some other command, where he
would not be shackled by Congress, be-
cause he was too honest n man to be left
free.-St. Louis Republican.
