THE MEN WHO SUCCEED,

The great difference among men Of
all callings is energy of character or the
want of it. Given the same amount ot
learning and integrity, and the same
opportunities, and energy will make
one man a conqueror. The want Of it
will see the other a failure. Dead
beats are all without force They
had as good chance as any of their
companions. Others went ahead and
carried off the prizes, while they were
lying by the wayside dispirited and
Respondent. It takes nerve, vim, per-
severance and patient continuance in
well doing, to win a great prize And
the young man who goes into profess
sion without this pluck and force will
not earn salt to his porridge. He will
drag along through life with the help of
friends getting some credit with them
for being well meaning man, in deli
cate health and unlucky. The real
trouble is, he lacks energy. All the
learning in the world will not
qualify man for usefulness. tire
quires push, stamina, vigor, will,
courage resolution, determination-in
one word energy.-N. Y. Observer.

THE NATIONAL ANTI-MON0POLY LEAGUE,

The following circular has been
recently issued by the above named
league.
This League has made some
additions 10 its declarations, an
amended copy of which, as they
appear on the heading of our mem
bership rolls, we. send herewith. The
clause referring to "a free press" is
SO strikingly illustrated by cartoon
which appeared almost imultaneous-
ly in the new illustrated paper The
Juage, that we induced the publish
ers to furnish some of them separate
J, without colors, and we send You
one of these, which we trust you
will post up in conspicuous place.
1t is evident that the monopolists
have determined not only to control
the Government, but the thought of
the people as well. Senator Window
in letter to the League says:
'The channels of thought and the
channels of commerce thus owned
and controlled by one man, or by a
few men, what is to restrain corpo-
rate power, or TO fix limit to it's
exactions upon the people? What
is then to hinder these men from de-
pressing or initiating the value of all
kinds ofproperty to suit their caprice
avarice, and thereby gathering into
heir own Golfers the wealth of the
nation Where is the limit to such
power as this? What shall be
said of the spirit of free people
who will submit without a protest
to be thus bound hand and foot p
Tne following extract from
letter written by Hon. David Davis,
once judge of the Supreme Court,
now Senator of the United States,
indicates the serious nature of the
problem before us:
"The rapid growth of corporate
power ard the malign influence which
it exerts by combination of the Ma
tional and State Legislatures, is a
well grounded cause of alarm. A
struggle is pending in the near future
between this overgrown power, with
its vast. ramifcations all over the
Union, and hard grip on much OF
the political machinery, on. the one
hand, and the people in an morgan
lied conditi on on the other, for con-
troll of the Government. 1t will be
watched by every patriot with in
tense anxiety"
There are two things which can not
be done too quickly:
1st. Let the people support the
papers which advocate their interest,
and leave those Sc, ,erely alone wifi. b
are run in the interest of the monopo-
lists.
2nd. Establish postal telc graph
which will serve the press and all
other customers fairly and cheaply,
besides extending electric communi-
cation to every post office in the
lard. In England both the telegraph |
and telephone are operated by the
Postal Department, and as conse-
quence the people have the benefits
and not the corporations.

Oregon Claims.

A careful examination of the
books, accounts and records of the
office of the adjutant general during
the war of the rebellion, of which the
secretary of state is now the Gus
todian, reveals the fact that accounts
to the amount of $44,219 10 are for
expenses incurred which are properly
chargeable to the general govern
ment. Secretary Earhart has had
duplicate vouchers made and proper
transcripts prepared, which he will
at once forward to Capt. John
Mullan, the agent for this state in
Washington city, with a view of
having them properly presented, and
the amount Of them which has al
ready been payed by the state re-
