The Fortune Every Young BHnu
HAS. fs.,,...a... .,

President Gates, of Rutgers College, iH
Every Young man has q. Torture ip
the fact Of bis youth, The energy Of
youth is unblunted by defeat nor worn
by hope deferred. With age one be-
comes more conservative, and looks at
as impossible what q younger person
would endeavor to accomplish, IN
many cases with success. The effort,
even if there is a failure, is,a grand
success. Self-cGnfdepee, or seIflcaD-
teeit, if you wish to call il 50, is q great
thing.
A young mans fortune is not TO be
found IN Inherited wealth or social po.
sition. Every man is the arbiter Of
his own fortune. Gracious manDers
OF business habits are good things to
cultivate, but are not all. Will power
is the young man's forttine. 1t is the
essence Of the man. A young man
with only little will power is fore
gone failure. ltshould be cpltiYsted.
Genius is gift ofrGod, and should
not cause pride, bnt M honest pursuit
81 duties Is an exhibition Of will pow.
er, and Is something to be proud off,
Well directed, educated will power is
what a young man needs.

CURE FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense Of
weight in the back, loins and lower part OF
the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose
he has some affection Of the kidneys or neigh,
boring organs. At times, symptoms of indi-
gestion are present, fatulency, uneasiness Of
the stomach, etc. A moisture, like perspira-
tion, producing very disagreeable itching,
after getting warm, is common attendant.
Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at
once to the application of Dr. Bosanko's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly upon the parts
affected, absorbing the Tumors, allaying the
intense itching, and effecting permanent

their rates for all who wish TO visit the

people, who, If the fare is not reduced,

unless a reduction is made.

Important Order Affecting Collection of Fees
of Pension Attorneys.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The Commissioner of
Pensions today issued an order that from and
after the lst of January next claimants shall be
required before pension agents withhold any
portion of the attorneys fee certified by the
Commissioner of Pensions to make an affidavit,
stating the time and manner of paying The
order further provides that where claimants are
unable to make the affidavit in the form pre-
scribed, and, in the opinion of the pension
agent, reasable doubt exists as to the fact of
such prior payment the fact shall be certified to
the Commissioner of Pensions for his considera-
ton and decision. 1t is hoped by the Commits
sioner that this order will be protection to the
claimant, as well as to the pension attorneys.
and that the over burdened appeal docket will
be, by lr, relieved to expedite the DISPOSE
ton of the great number of cases now pending
on appeal, involving material interests of pen,
sion claimants.

EVADING THE LAW.

General Blacks Methods-NotabIe Cases from
the Hoosier State.
Washington Special.
General Black, if not violating the law ITSELF
certainly acts contrary to its spirit every time
he gets an opportunity. He not long ago made
James Fritz, of Gosport, special examiner
In the Pension Bureau. The appoint ment was
made at the request Of Congressman Matson.
Fritz was given letter to the Civil-service Com
mission with instructions to deliver it to Judge
Thoman and to no one else. The letter secured
''private examination" This was, of course
nothing but farce. There was no competition,
| no chance given to others. Even the questions
asked are said to have been simply those printed
by the Commissioners in their annual report of
the preceding year, as examples of what candi-
dates would be asked to answer. Fritz was in
formed of this, and so passed the examination
without trouble.
Another case is that of Archie McGinnis. He,
too, is protage of the Nation. II can't pass an
examination" he told General Black when the
Commissioner informed him that his appoint
| ment would have TO be made through the Civil
service Commissioners Its all right" an
swered the General, ''Ill give you a letter to
Judge Thoman." The letter secured 'private
examination" and to-day the man who declared
to more thar. ane person in town that he was
| unable to paAt%1he civil-service examination is
St sPe sda eSs Finer in the Pension Bureau at
man with the picturesque name of Exum
Saint was put through similar examination"
He wac Senator Voorhees, friend General
Black was about to appoint him, when news
| reached the department. that Mr. Saint had be-
lied his name, and had been convicted two weeks
ago for fraud committed on the very bureau of
| which he hoped to become shining ornament.
The greatest farce, however, upon civil
ice reform, as practiced by General Black, is the
appointment of Chester r. Faulkner as chief in
| the record division in the Pension Bureau.
Faulkner is ignorance and incompetency itself.
Even VOORHEES, was compelled to exclaim once:
Eye gods, you ought to see Faulkner's spelng
But then, he is as true as steel" The latter
proposition he added presumably, in order to
break the force of his implied criticism. Be
that as it may General Black retains Faulkner
| in Office, perhaps that he may prove useful
some day: AT present this Democratic official
contents himself with expressing his disgust at
having a 'passel" of women about him. who he
letters on the business of the Office.

much to Pittsburg, but it is to me and the people

much to Pittsburg but it is to me and the people
l represent The official who would overlook
this fact is unworthy of any position"
at this point in the hearing some blocks of
Bedford stone, and also of granite, were brought
into the room at the suggestion of Representative
Bayne, OF Pittsburg, who said the Indiana mate
rial was such an absorbent that it would finally
become jet black under the suphuric, smoky
atmosphere Of Pittsburg. He said no imputa-
| ton was meant against the merit of Indiana
lime or other stone when it was stated that
pressed brick building, trimmed in granite
would make more desirable building for Pitts
burg.
Representative Matson spoke after Mr. Cobb,
and called especial attention to the superior
quality of the Bedford limestone. and the differ
ence between its cost and that of granite. He
produced scientific analysis of Indiana stone,
and SAID there was very wide difference be-
tween the different qualities. The stone of
which the British House of Parliament was
made, and which was reported to be crumbling,
he said. contained much magnesia, while Bed
ford stone was free from magnesia-it was pure
carbonate OF lime.
Mr.. Scott, of Pittsburg, in addressing the AS
sstant Secretary, stated that the atmosphere at
Pittsburg was more peculiar than that of any
other city, and that while Bedford stone
might be preferred in Cleveland, Columbus,
Detroit, Indianapolis and elsewhere it was not
good material for Pittsburg. He was not fight
ing limestone, sandstone, or Indiana interests.
II can take anyone to Pittsburg," said Mr.. Scott,
and within forty right hours convert him to
the interest of granite"
Mr. Cobb called attention to the wonderful de-
velopmsnt of the Bedford limestone quarries, To-
Gated near his home, to show how rapidly its
worth is becoming known, and assured those
present that he would not urge its use unless it
was found to be the best as we'll as the cheapest.
Whatever the decision il the matter may be,
the Indiana men acquitted themselves we'll and
advanced the interests they represent A scien-
tific analysis of Bedford limestone will be made,
and the question will not be determined under
several weeks. 1t is matter of vast Importance
to Indiana, and involves direct comparison of
Bedfords production with the granite quarries
of Maine. and opens unlimited possibilities in the
way of government contracts.

Proceedings of the Caucus.

70 the Western Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4>-The caucus of Repub-
lican senators met promptly at IL o'clock today,
Senator Sherman in the chair, and pl oceeded at
once to consider the question of the election of
President pro tempore Of the Senate, made nee
essary by the death of Vice president Hendricks.
Senator Edmunds stated that when, in the
summer, Of 1884; the Republicans of the
Nation, in their convention, nomin-
ated General Logan for Vice-presi-
dent, he (Nr. Edmunds) had thought it right to-
ward General Logan and right toward the party
that he should retire from the presidency of the
Senate, and that General Logan should be chos-
en- in his place, and, as they all remembered, he
had communicated that opinion and desire to
the Republican senators in formal way: but
it was thought best, at that time that the change
be not made, especially as General Logan did
not wish it to be made. AT the last presidential
election, General Logan had received,
he believed, the votes of all the Republicans
who had the opportunity to vote, and came very
near being the choice of the people for the Office
of Vice-president, which would have made him,
ex officio, the president of the Senate, and, I'M
der the law, charged with the duty Of carrying
on the government in case of any disability of
the President of the United States until an
election could be had. In this state of things he
thought it right that the Republican senators
should renew that expression of conf
dence in General Logan by nominating
him for President of the Senate, and he accord
ingly moved that General Logan be SO nominated
by reclamation.
Several senator's spoke briefly in favor of the
nomination, and the question was put and agreed
to unanimously. The chairman announced the
unanimous nomination of john A. Logan as
President pro TEN. General Logan said:
"Mr Chairman-From the depth'o Of my heart
thank the Republican senators for the conf
dence they repose in ne as expressed by the
nomination just rendered me by reclamation for
the position of temporary presiding officer Of the
Senate. l not alone thank them. but the people
of the whole country for the desire they seem
to feel that should be given this very honorable
position. l was, however. sir, the nominee of
the Republican party for Vice president,
and was voted for Mt the last election.
| was not elected For that nomination / then
thanked the Republican party, and through the
senators present again return to the Republic
ans of the country my grateful acknowledge
ments. If thought could better serve my
constituents and my country by accepting this
position, would most unhesitatipgly do So and
