g@We once visited public school.
At recess a little fellow came up and
spoke to the teacher. AS he turned to
go down the platform the master said:
''This is boy l can trust" We fol-
lowed him with our eyes and looked at
him when he took his seat after recess.
He had a fine, open, manly face. We
thought good deal about the masters
remark. What a character had that
boy earned. He had already earned a
fortune. 1t would be worth more to
him than fortune. 1t would be a
passport into the best store in the city,
and what is better, into the confidence
and respect of the whole community.
We wonder if the boys know how soon
they are rated by other people. Every
boy in the neighborhood is known and
opinions are formed on him; he has
character, either favorable or unfavor-
able. A boy of whom master can say
81 can trust him, he never failed me,
will never want for employment. The
fidelity, promptness and industry which
he shows in school are in demand and
priced everywhere. He who is faithful
in little will be faithful in much.

B@r Mrs. Sniverly is the wife of
captain of New York militia company.
She attended review not long since at
which her husband was the command
ing officer. Mrs. Sniverly laughed all
the way home, and when, after she got
home, she was asked what was the cause
of her merriment, she replied:
cit was the funniest thing in the world
to see my husband, who never dares to
open his mouth at home, ordering all
those men about, and they doing just
what he told them to do. Why don't
he try that game on Inc ?"

B@ Just as lover had dropped on
hisknees and began popping the question
a pet poodle, who thought the proceed
ings rather strange, made dash for him.
With remarkable nerve for woman,
the girl reached over, grabbed the dog
by the neck, at the same time calmly
uttering, "Go on George, dear, I'm
listening to what you are saying" "

A Balloon Torpedo.

Mr.. Frederick Cover, the telephone
millionaire, made the following interest
ing statement to reporter in London
the other day: "It is true have invent
ed balloon torpedo-not an aerial tor
pedo boat, mind-which l trust will
bring the existing systems of warfare to
a close. This, at least, is my prime
object. cannot yet explain my meth
cd fully. I am certain, however, that
by utilizing current of wind at an as
certained level in known direction,
and maintaining my aerial torpedoes
on that level by automatic means, and
launching them in great numbers, and
in quick succession, a terrible loss could
be inflicted on an advancing army. In
deed, it might be wholly destroyed.
The mere arising of particular current
of wind would bring an army the GER
tainty of disaster in the absence of any
power to reply to the attack. The fact
that an attack is equally easy by night
or day, and that the machines them
selves frequently travel at hight at
which their approach would be unde-
tected, even in broad daylight, could
not fail to affect the morale of the most
seasoned and disciplined soldiers. The
idea of aerial torpedoes in some form
is not my own. I only claim for
given problem a practical solution.
Since the Austrian attack on Venice in
1S4o, all great Powers have studied the
subject. The difficulty always has been
to maintain the machines in air long
enough to cover the ground which it is
required to travel. "You are the sole
inventory" 81 am," said Mr.. Cover.

THE FRESIDEvT-ELECE

Mr.. Cleveland says public Office Is pub
lie trust. This declaration confounds the
machine men of the grand old party, aud
throws them into confusion and perplexity.
Tney seem scarcely to know what 1t means,
for they regare public office as a reward for
partisan services, and expect official incum-
bents, to regard office as party trust, to be
used for partisan purposes. But honest peo-
pie applaud the declaration of the new Presl-
dent, and il is creditable to the Democratic
press, that without single exception all
support Mr.. Cleveland in his declaration Of
purpose to execute faithfully, and without
reservation the provisions and requirements
OF the civil service reform law. All applaud,
too his clearly manifested purpose to give
practical effect to the platform of the party,
and the principles avoucied in his letter of
acceptance. This is thing unhcard of in
late years in the Republican ranks. Party
platforms, AMI letters of acceptance have
been regarded only as campaign clap-trap,
and of no binding effect in political action.
a new era has been opened to the great poll
teal public when honesty is to be made the
rule and not the exception in official life,
high and low.
Ever since bis nomination for the Presi-
dency, Grover Cleveland has exhibited rare
qualities OF character, indepeu lence, forti-
III lie AMI patience, AMI fearless reference
to his o.h:iAl int gritty, almilst all ths storm
OF riblld a5ls', al u5loquev, attem ptel to
be heap;d upDn him by corrupt, and in
many instances subsidized press. He has
awaited with calmness the verdict of the peo-
pie, unawei anl self-pois.d. In his cleo
ton he maintains all the modest bearing
an l unassuming characteristics of his former
life, as If unmovel aul unexilerdted by his
rapid advancement t. the highest ofi:e in
the country. Il molestly AMI quietly ac-
cepts the Presi leutiu OH, as public
trust, regarli linz him self as the agent of the
whole country 10 promote its prosperity, and
not the m re attI:lsy Of party to prom Jte
mere partisan ends.
The honest, unplrtisln people, Of all
shades OF pJiiticll oJlni1a, are lI)liuy for
ward with c0ailence an h)Je otls iuaus-
uratiOn OF man developing such impartial
purposes for tn. prom otion OF the best inter
ests of the country ana the whole country.
Expectation in regirl to his ability, fidelity
and straightforward Independence in the con-
duct of the Presidential o.Ii:c will not be dis
appointed.

SCHEYLER CnLEAY.

The sudden death of ex-Vice President
Schuyler Colfax, which occurred OF Mankato,
Yesterday morning, removes man VINO at
one time occupied a prominent position in
the public affairs of the country. The writer
recalls meeting him in Washington in 1868,
when he was in the hey day of his glory as
Speaker of the House, and the contrast be-
tween the homage which was then paid him
and his lonely death among strangers, is a
forcible illustration Of the mutations of life.
At that time he divided the honOrs of the
House OF Representatives with Thad Stevens
aud no one could have predicted the sequel
of what seemed 4 brilliant and historical
public career. His political party was in the
ascendency and he was soon after named for
and elected to the second highest place In
the gilt of the American people.
The uncertainty Of political prestige and
fame was sadly demonstrated when four or
i've years later the Credit Mobelier cloud
burst and carried Mr.. Colfax to his political
grave. II Is neither necessary or appropri-
ate to recount that blightlng history, and the
GLOBE alludes to IL now not to :ensure or
critcse the dead but because it formed so
essential a part of the career of
the man, who far removed from
home and friends, has been so suddenly
called from the world which was once so
bright to him. In these wears Mr.. Colfax
could scarcely turn corner or board
a street car without It's being heralded and
recorded throughout the land, but yesterday,
when the fatal summons came, he was jour
neying unknown and unannounccd, and
papers found on his person when the grim
messenger had done its tinal work, proved
tbs first identification of one who had once
been so prominent.
His career and its ending demonstrate the
aeetIng emptiness Of political fame. There
are comparatively few public men who can
run the gauntlet Of political vituperation I'M
scathed, and when, as In his case, the cloud
remains, leaving il at least an open question,
to put IL as chartably as pOssible) whether
Il should ever have gathered, II carries with
il the warning that true comfort and
happiness accompanies the private rather
than the public station. The
public man Is constrained TO acts and utter
ances that as a private citizen he would sbun
and repudiate. Who can doubt that Mr..
ColfaX, in the bitterness OF later years, sim
cerey regretted that he had ever placed him
self in the position OF political target aud
that he would have gladly recalled his early
ambitions had il been possibel
The lesson of his life is not likely TO be
heeded in this rushing age, but it furnishes
food for reflection as well rs for eongratula-
tons to those who are content TO enjoy the
comfort Of privacy and retirement Few
men can be truly great AMI scarcely any
carry their greatness to the portals of the
grave.

AMUSEMEN


The old adage has 1t that nothing sue
ceeds like success, and probably the artistic
performance of Madame Janish, together
with the highly enthusiastic reception sc-
corded her on the opening night, had a great
deal to do with the increased attendance at
the Grand last night, the audience being both
large aud critical.
Tue play was that OF "Leonore," which Is
nothing more nor less than the drama OF
"Lorle, or the Artists Dream" made
familiar 10 the American public by the
sprightly Maggie Mitchell Tue version pre-
scented by danish, however, differs quite ma
terially from the latter, and it must br said
that the adapter, Cyazaron, has rot improved
on the original, the action being at
times cumbersome and the situations not
so cieverly devised as in the version the
American public have been used TO seeing.
The role Of LenOre or LOTle was taken by
Madame Janish, there being scarcely any
points OF comparison between the artless
hoydenish country girl, aud the character Of
