But we doubt that the subscription lists

that there ought to be a public move

help. The ordinary man who escaped

What will assure success? 1T needs o com
bination Of sound clements to achieve true
succoss-cau it nerve and brains, or over
drawn assurance, whatever you will. The
spirit of push, Of unboundcd perseverance,
of untiring patience, is a recognized feature
Of the true American, and there is no reason

hurry and rush of these days a man viii be
left FAR in the rear who does not make hisn-
self aggressive.
Mere brain power is not enough, there
nsust be some means whereby the ability can
be manifested. The man OF nero intellect
NAV be a fine scholar and a thoughtful
reader, but he can never ming!e successfully
in the busy actualities Of the world at lnrge.
Il needs a determination to make the world
feel the brain power of the man, this is the
means. 1t need not be shown in a way to
annoy or disgust; quietly but persistently
the intellect may be made TO influence the
lives of others. Tho genius Of the head may
DO exerted BY thegrasp of the hand and the
genial familiarity which follows thereby. It
requires pluck and courage. To wait in the
lowermost places TO get an invitation to
come higher is pretty poor policy nowadays.

Mail steamers and We're paid fair com

the mails. Aproftable export trade with
these countries had been built up and
friendly commercial relations established
Not long since, the governments Of New
Zealand and New South Wales made over
lures TO this government, year or two
ago, requesting the United States
to bear fair proportion OF
the cost Of maintaining these steamers.
Heretofore the Australian governments
had been paying the whole subsidy, and
it was but right and proper that this
country should contribute its share.
But by the niggardly policy Of Congress
