sELF-MADE MEN IN POLITICS.

An editorial in the June Century, in
"Topics of the Time," discusses "The
Outlook for Statesmen in America, and
speeds as follows the retirement from
political leadership of the "self-made
man" MS distinguished from the cultivat.
ed man: Once in while the instincts
OF the self-made man (as distinguished
from the college-made many are fine
enough tolead to broadviews, butin gen.
cral his horizon is narrow and bordered by
prejudices; he speaks we'll of the bridge
that has carried him over, but of no
other. Such q man is apt to regard
legislation as the science OF applied self
ishness, and to ,eeislate but for one ty pc
(himself) or for his other self-the party.
But even if we consider legislation on a
merely selfish plane, the fact remains
that laws must be made for wide diver
sity OF selfishness, and this requires not
30 much ideas as capacity for dealing
with IDEAS. The more successful the
self-educated man has been-whether in
railroads or silver mining or sheep rails
ing-the more likely he is to be incapa-
citated for the broad work of the legis-
lator. Indeed, to do his constituents
Justice, he is usually chosen not for his
knowledge of tariff principals or of con-
stitutional distinctions. but in outright
advocacy of some interest for which he
is certain to stand upaud be counted, on
every occasion. This was we'll enough
in war times, when there was one over
mastering interest. But in the iuaugur-
alton of President Garfield the war
spirit expended the last OF it's momen-
tum, aud the country once more. recov-
cred the civic temper aud turned TO econ
omic questions pn1e and simple. The
result is inevitable that tue casrent of
progress will sweep past this type Of
public man and leave him in shallow
bayou of his own. He will have his
uses. but his days of leadership are nun
bered. +"

What is this?
A druggists clerk, darling.
Is he not q druggist?
No, dear.
But he is putting up a prescription.
Oh, no! he is not.
What, then, is he doing?
he is trying to put one up.
Is he succeeding?
he is very near success.
How near?
Well, the doctors prescription calls
for five grains of quinine in each dose,
And what is the druggists clerk do
ing?
He is putting five grains of morphine
in each dose.
Oh! But will not this hurt the poor
patient?
Not very much.
But how much?
1t will kill him.
My! But what dreadful thing for the
clerk!
Not half SO bad as for the patient.
What will the poor druggist say when
they arrest him for the murder?
He will say his clerk put the prescrip-
tion up.
And what will the poor clerk say?
He will say he was sleepy and mistook
the bottles.
Why! are the bottles of morphine and
quinine kept on the same shelfp
Certainly.
Then such mistakes are liable to occur
at any time?
They are, my precious
But why does not the poor druggist
hire clerks who know the difference be-
tween quinine and morphine?
Because he can hire boy who does
not know, for less money.
Then We are in danger whenever we
take the medicine the poor doctor or
ders /?
We are, darling.
Can we. do nothing to protect our
selves?
Oh, yes.
What?
We can throw the medicine out of the
window.
But is not the druggist or his clerk
punished for killing innocent people in
this way?
No, dear.
Why?
Because the over-zeal GUS coroner fills
the jury with druggists and doctors, and
they acquit both the druggist and his
clerk.
Obi the druggists and doctors stand
by each other.
Every time.
But when the poor druggists clerk
puts up such dose by'mistake, does he
not really murder the poor patient?
Oh, no, my pet.
Why?
Because the poor patient commits sui
eide by taking it.
