From Poverty to Wealth.

Il is probable that the majority OF the
men who achieve success in this country
are poor when they begin their careers In
the cities many Of those who have become
prominent began life on a farm, OF were
wholly dependent upon their own resources
at very early age.
Two men died in New York this week
whose careers show what can bs done by
pluck and thrift backed By common sense
and good habits Ole was Mr.. S. L. NJ g..
Barlow, a distinguished lawyer, and the
other was Maurice B. Flynn, a contractor
and uoh ician.
Mr.. Barlow was 63 years of age. He was
one of the most successful railroad lawyers
IN the country, and was leading mem er

a few dollars a week, and was so bri hi

in the confidence of his employers until, at
very early age, he became partner in the
firm which he had served as a clerk. Mr..
Flynn, until couple of years ago, was
one of the most Influential politicians in
New York. He never permitted himself to
neglect his business for any cause, aud the
result was that he was successful, while
many others, fully his equal in ability,
failed to acquire either wealth or fame.
The examples of Mr. Barlow and Mr..
Flynn show that almost any one who is
faithful to the trusts confded b. his care,
and who has reasons amount Of ability,
can succeed in life if he makes up his mind
to do so.

Mr.. Tanner Changes Front.

The commissioner Of pensions, Mr. Tan
ner, has insisted that he was in accord with
Secretary Noble and the President with re-
gard to pensions, and Secretary Noble went
to the trouble a few weeks ago to say that
neither he nor the President had any fault
to tinG with Mr.. Tanners administration Of
Tn pen ion bureau; and yet it seems quite
plain that Mr. Tanners course as pension
commissioner has not been altogether salts
factory to Secretary Noble or the
President. They have once or twice lately
sought to restrain Mr.. Tanner in his wild
desire to get rid Of the surplus, and their
last attempt was in the form Of an order
intended to prevent so many pension claims
from being made special" at the request of
favored pension sharks. Mr.. Tanner seems
to have concluded that he had bet er
slacken his gait. He has recently been
making speeches and debating interviews
with himself in the lid west, aud in one of
the interviews he represents himself as say
ing that all he wants is for ex-sOldiers who
need and are EMIT ed to pensions to get
them. This is platform upon which all
can stand. 1t is the one upon which ex-
President Cleveland and ex- Commissioner
Black stood, AMI if Mr. Tanner adheres to
it, the people will have no cause to com
plain of it.
Mr.. Tanner has made another important
announcement 1t is that it might not be we'll
for congress to pass service pension bill
for some years. He came to this conclus-
ION after talking about the matter with
some prominent members of his party in
the west. About So, 0OJ, 900 a year is now
paid by the people on account of pensions.
A service pension law-that is, one under
which, probably, not less than IS a month
would be paid to every man for the balance
Of his life who was in the federal army or
navy-would add fully 500, 100000 an
nually to the account of pensions, and tie
people are not willing for au onslaught like
that to be made upon the treasury
AT the bottom of the Presidents and Sec
rotary Mobiles check upon Mir. Tanner and
Mr.. Tanner, change of front, is the belief
that the country would not have indorsed
the commissioner in his reckless manner of
pa ing out pension money. The deserving
veterans should be dealt with literally, but a
pro6lgate course is not to be tolerated
