ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.

Don't mistake notoriety for fame.
Do not let others spend the money
earn.
Don't do work unworthy Of you If you can
avoid it
Don't say II am gentleman" it is never
necessary.
Be loyal to death to those who have be-
friended you.
When you assist the needy, don't do it
ostentatiously.
Silence is the best weapon TO use against a
vulgar and spiteful tongue.
In ninety-nine cases in hundred, the man
you wish dead outlives you.
Don't introduce ladys name where you
wouldn't introduce the lady.
Don't count much on friendships formed in
cafes. They never turn out well.
Remember impertinence isn't wit, any
more than insolence is brilliancy.
If young men will not believe in them
selves, no man or woman can believe in
them
Don't indulge in the luxury of strong
opinions in the presence of your elders and
betters.
II you haven't the moral courage to laugh
at sneerers, then you are another Of natures
mistakes
Don't talk about what you are ''going" to
do, then, if you fail to accomplish it, nobody
will know.
If you learn that people say spiteful, wicked
things about you, and untruthfu things at
that, be silent
1t isn't very nice thing for young man,
or any one, for that matter, to smile in su-
perior way at ignorance.
Do not be afraid to go near your enemy.
The nearer you get to a kicking horse, the
less damage will result to your person.
Never let day pass without thinking Sc
riously, If only for a minute, Of death. 1t
viii rob 1t Of more than half It's terrors
Treat all men and women considerably,
and you will be surprised at the dividends
that will come to you, daily and yearly.
The man who does generous act, and lets
the world into the secret, shows the world q
peach, after rubbing the bloom from il
Cultivate a cheerful frame Of mind, and
the mind viii mold the face, and the tongue,
and the voice, into something irresistible
You never want to listen complacently to
injudicious or extravagant praise, nor 70
funny" stories at the expense OF women
If you do good piece Of work in finance,
Journalism, politics, art, music or literature,
do not spoil it by voluntarily speaking Of it
complacently; and, on the other hand, do not
speak OF it disparasingly.- from

he is much more concerned that this
business should be we'll done than
that any particular senator should be
gratified by appointments to office
recommended by him. 1t will
be in order for these faultfinders
to criticise the administration when
It's acts are seen to be
unwise, its appointments to office I'M
fit to be made, its domestic and for
eign policies unAmerican and incom-
patible with the honor and prosper
ity of the nation. 1t is in order for
fools to criticise before these things
are seen. So far, no valid objection
has been urged against any of the
appointees to office. The foreign ap-
pOintments, the territorial appoint
ments, the important local appoint
ments in New York city, all have
been accepted as appointments emil
nently proper to be made; as appoint
ments calculated to give efficiency to
the public service, and please the
people, even though some of them are
disappointing to the politicians who
hunt for Office. In fact, today, the
sole criticism that can be passed by a
repu blican upon the nominations, is
this-President Harrison has disap-
pointed the place hunters.

SATURDAY, APRIL. 10, 1899.

THE CROAKERS CROAK IN VAIN.
The serenity with which this adj
ministration pursues the even tenor
of it's way in the midst of all the prog
nosticatiOns of its speedy disintegra-
ton must be very provoking to the
democratic mind. At the outset came
the prediction that Blaine would
prove an administrative anaconda
ready to swallow up the whole gov
eminent, the president included, and
as Mr.. Harrison was considered rather
an indigestible morsel dire conse-
quences were predicted. Every mean
insinuatiOn that the demOcratic-mug-
wump mind could conceive was put
forth in the most offensive manner to
induce jealousy Oh the part of the
president against his secretary of
state, but it awaited nothing. Mr..
Blaine pursues his work with no eye
to any department Of the public SER
vice save his own and seems COM
pletely absorbed in his efforts to
correct the impression so SedulOusly
attempted to be made during these
four years past-that this country is
still a dependency of Great Britain.
There is not the slightest indication
that these carefully prepared state
mentS of the mugwump press have
ever been so much as read by either of
the parties supposed to be 50 supreme
Iy affected thereby. This having
failed there followed the report that
Mr.. Blaine was not the Presidents
choice, but that he was offered
the place after others had de-
clined it. This canard failed to
arouse any sign of a symptom
of raising the secretary's cuticle
ard the tactics have changed. The
mugwump transfers his affections
from Blaine to Wannamaker. The
head of the postal department is rep
resen ted as having split New York
and Pennsylvania from stem to gud-
geon because he has not formed a
partnership with Senators Quay and
Platt for the distribution of the offices
connected with his department in
these two great states. When the
fool critics get tired of prating about
Wannamaker's sunday school and
the low prices paid to women fol-
making pants and the money he paid
for campaign purposes, they will turn
their attention to some other member
of the cabinet and try them all ,squint.
ing at each through the microscope Of
a personal littleness and meanness
that cannot recognize either Jargeness
of idea or ability of execution. This
will all pass in time and the country
at large Will come to recognize what
many already see-that the present
cabinet is an organized institution;
that each department has its head
and has no connection with any other;
that the president is whatih' s name
imports, head of the whole; that his
cabinet is prominently a business
concern, its members selected by him
to do business for the country and that

DOES NOT LIKE THE DEAL.

DOES NOT LIKE THE DEAL.
The Waco Day is not justified by
the facts in making the statement
here given, which is taken from the
editorial columns of that paper
"The president so far has given
three important offices to Texas, and
the appOntees are all new men. Mr..
Terrell got the Belgian mission, and
Paul Fricke and George Knight car
ried off two of the marshalships, to
the exclusion of the cd and hungry
crowd. who have been in the habit of
swooping down on the loaves and
fishes every four years. Mr.. Ter
rell is lawyer and capitalist, little
known even by name in the state
and of brief residence. Fricke is
a politician, but was fished up from
the vast depths of inglorious obscur-
ity, while Mr.. Knight is a railroad
man and has never borne the heat
and burden Of wagging his jaws in
club meetings and conventions.
"Wh are we here for?" Alas. Echo,
with doleful sounds rings into the ears
of the faithful the sad refrain, "What
are we here fOr?n
AS to Mr.. Terrell, the Times of this
city in its issue of April l, said:
"He is one of the vice-presidents
and directors Of the Board of Trade.
Since his removal to Texas, Mr.. Ter
rell has taken an active part in the
work o: the republican party in this
state. He was a delegate to the re-
publican national convention in 1880
from Texas, and supported Gen. Gar
field in that body; and he also was a
delegate to the national convention in
June, in which he seconded the nomi-
nation and enthusiastically supported
the candidacy Of Gen. Harrison"
The Times is a good straight demo-
cratic authority and is therefore
quoted. Mr.. Terrell has been resi-
dent of this state nearly twelve years.
and the assertion of "brief residence"
and "lttle known even by name"
wont work.
Paul Fricke is not man "fished
up from the depths of inglorious OBJ
scurity," but a man who, born in a
neighboring county from that in
which he now resides, has done bust
ness in his present home for many
years and was not so obscure but
that he had sufficient influence to
prevent the war of races threatened
by the democratic murder of repub-
licans in Washington county. He
has never been a politician in the
sense referred to by the Day, but
has been a republican, whom the
democrats of his own county dare not
disparage.
AS to Mr.. Knight, as the Day urges
nothing against him save that he is
not a convention brawler, it is not
necessary to comment. Does the Day
desire TO be understood in the above
paragraph as criticsing and dispar-
aging the appointments in Texas be-
cause they are not old hack politi-
clans? If so, SO be it The Day can
stir no bile among the rank and file of
the party because the old marplots
are left out all over the south. The re-
publican' party enters upon a new
era of its work in the south and the
causes which have prevented its
growth so far as they lie with this adj
ministratiOn to correct will be correct
ed. This work will not stop because
the Day scents danger in it to the
democratic party.
