AN EXAMLK OF PLUCK.

Capt. EADs. of ship-railway fame. well
illustrates one trait of the American char
acter. Having despaired OF receiving
the government guarantee which he
considered necessary to establish con-
fidence in his undertaking, he does
not weakly abandon his great project, but
announces his intention to persevere I'M
aided in the accomplishment of what
will fifty be the browning achiev-
ment of a life not unmarked for
its triumps of engineering skill. His
indomitaDle energy has carried Capt, EADs
safely through other difficulties, and it is
quite within the bounds of probability that
he will be equally fortunate in the
present instance. The aid he asked
of congress was reasonable enough
in its character, involving the
government in no peeuniary obligation for
which it was not amply secured, and should
he succeed in bringing his scheme to a
satisfactory conclusion the mOdeSty OF the
request he has been making will be
readily recognized. A ship railway,
in cost. feasibility and rapidity Of
construction has decided advantages over
any other means of Isthmean transit, and if
the problem is ever to be solved it will
probably be on the lines laid down by Capt
EADs. At any rate he deserves encourage
ment for his pluck and persistency.
They are two qualities that go for
toward the attainment of any object
however difficult it NAV seem, and though
there mag be many doubters now, the en-
ergetic engineer will find in the event of his
success that the uame of those who have
all along been sure Of his ultimate triumph
is legion.

1T NEED EDITING.

The presidents message is an able and
dignifed discussion of public matters. The
onlv adverse criticism it is liable to evoke is
respecting its length. 1t is singular that
public men do not more readily catch on to
the truth that the power and influence of a
state docu neat depends very much on its
brevity. The terser the style and the
crisper the sentences the more readily do
these documents lind lodging place in the
minds and hearts of the people. There are
not many people who have the time to wade
through an executive message occupying
from ten t. fit Ell columns of newspaper.

The difficulty with most of our presidents is
that they lack editorial training. If they
understood the science of editing public
documents so as to reject the surplusage
and condense the valuable matter the result
would be an improvement in the character
of state papers that would be most grateful
to the country. Some of these days when
a number one A grade editor gets into the
presidential chair the world will be startled
with the wonderful improvement, not only
in the style and character of state but in
the standard of craftsmanship as well.

CONFLICT OF INTERESTS

The president points to the folly of bur-
thening the treasury with an unnecessary
surplus. The great difficulty in securing
a common sense adjustment of the taxes to
the necessities of the government has
been in the fact that the advocates of
high revenue taxes are the holders of ma
tional bonds. They want the revenue piled
up but they do not want the debt
reduced. There is conflict between their
own interests. and very decided conflict
between their joint interests and those of
the taxpayers.

MATRIMONIAL EXPERIENCES.
Some of the Trials and TribulatiOns
of w. Dudley Smith.

Oh w. Dudley smith,
Written for the Globe.
He was on the shady side of 40, had
made money, loved comfort above all
things, and desired to settle down to quiet
domestic felicity. She was 49, gay belle,
the oldest of several gay young sisters who
were ready to dispute her title of supremacy
in the family. She wanted independence
and so they got married.
He had been gay bachelor, and in his
younger days preferred the young married
women. because it involved no ''entangling
alliances, and he was not then marrying
man. Afterwards he buckled down to
business sought the pleasures of the table
much more, became pOrtly, was very re-
spectacle and greatly admired by scheming
matrons with manageable daughters.
Evelyn GreenOugh was the envey of her
set. Such sensible thing to do such good
form. W. Dudley Smith was congratulated
at the club. Dick Beverly punched him
playfully in the ribs. told him he was sly
dog. and that he always did have good taste
where the ladies were concerned. 1t was
brilliant wedding. The bride looked lovely,
the groom was faultlessly attired, the pres
entS were numerous, her mother cred
little. and when they had departed for the
train the guests tripped lightly the festive
dance and in the morning the -vlle Daily
Gail contained glowing account of the
wedding.

To the Editor Of the Globe.
To day there was an election of Off
GERS of our Eighth ward Reform club at
Chestnut hall There has been decided
feeling against Albert Lawrence as presi-
dent of the club. A majority have thought
we ought to have change in the'presi-
dents chair. so to day we nom-
mated j. w. TOusley to fill the
office, as Mr.. Lawrence said he
did not care to fill the chair any longer.
But we found, before we got through. he
had the thing all cut and dried. Brother
Lawrence said we would take recess of
10 minutes to talk this thing over, and the
result was they got about fifteen girls and
boys from the age of 10 to - years to stuff
the baskets with Lawrence ballots, and
when the count was made Lawrence had
% and Tousley IS. The opinion was that
Tousley was elected and should have his
seat. but Lawrence has always had the
name of being an office-seeker; so it was
thought best to let him have it. The Obiec-
ton to Lawrence is he runs the club as a
high license club when large majority of
the club is for prohibition straight. Law
renee is traitor to our cause and we, as
prOhibltioniSts, oppose him.

of sweet wines, owing to low prices, has been
restricted. Ports and sherries will. therefore,
