it is to be deplored no present remedy seems to
be offered.

Jealous Men the Successful Ones.

AS far as natural endowments deter
mine, the jealous men are par eminence
the successful ones. But they have
besetting sin which, being intrinsic, is
therefore, perhaps, not quite sin
bigotry. Except in the case of great
creative minds, it is necessary to be
somewhat partial in order to succeed
in affairs. Broad culture is seldom
efficient in any immediate way; narrow,
intense purpose accomplishes the hard
enterprises of the world, and is every
where at premium among those who
are interested in getting things done.
| have respect for bigots and parti-
sans, and believe that the world owes
great debt to intolerant, one-sided men.
1t must have them; it could not push
its REFORMS, or get its rough, unpleasant
work done else. Narrow men are
edged men. men of single and deter
mined purposes; and in their purposes
they are apt to succeed. The liberal,
the spirits of insight, really rule all,
though they are not always seen to do
so; they create the thoughts that direct
the worlds forces. But they turn over
their thoughts to armies of stirring par
tisans, who adjust by force of arms the
claims of opposing truths The philos-
opher would prefer to wait for evolution,
and to let things settle themselves
quietly; but the reformers cannot wait
for this. So they organize boards, wage
religious wars, and piously burn the
witches. There is a sad waste of force
in these proceedings; but men promise
to become wiser in course of time, and
meanwhile the machine creaks slowly
along, and some progress is made
