How He Succeeded.

he did. In ten years from that time he
was partner in one of the largest mer-
camille establishments in Boston. But |
must tell you of his early life.
He desired to have college education,
and afterward to study law. Having no
money, but some ability as violinist, he
obtained position in theater orchestra,
where he played every evening during the
college term, and in vacation furnished
music at summer hotels.
As he was student in the true sense of
that word, his sleep was confined to the
wee small hours. His constitution was not
equal to the strain. In the beginning of
his junior year he had nervous prostration,
and was threatened with softening OF the
brain. Obliged to give up for that year,
he returned the next, hoping to make up
back losses and finish with his class. Again
he broke down. Going then to his home
in country village, he made shoes, worked
on farm, and at whatever else presented
itself for four years, studying the latter
part of the time, after which he returned
to college, was examined, and received his
diploma.
Being, however, in no condition for fur
ther study, he was obliged to relinquish
his cherished plan of becoming a lawyer,
| and turned his attention to active bust
| ness.
When he made the remark at the be-
| ginning of this article, he was on his way
to Boston. Not wishing to call upon
| friends for help, he inquired in one store
| after another if a clerk was wanted but
was continually answered in the negative.
Finally, entering an establishment which
impressed him more favorably than any
of the others, and receiving the usual
answer, he said, with his accustomed cour-
tesy:
evil you allow me, sir, to come here
for week, without any pay, and busy N.Y.
self with what l can find to do?"
This novel proposition was pleasantly
agreed to. AT the end of the week he re-
ceived his S. and request to remain.
Each week his salary, duties and privi-
leges increased, until within the time be-
fore stated he had reached the summit.
This is not a fancy sketch. The subject
of 1T is still young man, and may be seen
any day on the streets of Boston or in his
delightful suburban home.

AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL BILL.

Senate bill 6l2, now in the Assembly is
supposed to be in the local interest of this
city. 1t was certainly introduced with
to be good purpose. But it is measure
that should not pass, because it is not in
harmony with the Constitution in TIE first
place, and il will be an incumbrance in the
second place, until our entire pokce sys-
tem can be reformed. The bill proposes
10 amend the present city charter. 1t re-
enacts Sections of the Act of March, 1872,
amendatory of the charter and supple
mental to it, and is thus new and special
legislation.
1t provides that the police force shall not
exceed Sc men, with Chief and Captain.
We now hsve, under the law, 10, Chief
and CAPTAIN. Here, then, are Is offices
created by the Act. TIE new bill changes
the Chiefs salary fron $3.50 TO $I75. The
Constitution of the State provides that the
Legislature shall not pass any local or
special laws creating any offices il cities, ;"
etc. A policeman rs an officer in a city.
The Constitution also provides that there
shall be passed no local or special laws by
the Legislature affecting the fees or salary
of any4officer." The Chief of Police is an
officer. and the proposed special legislation
changes the salary of that Office.
These are insgperable constitutional OBJ
jections to the dill, land there are Others
not necessary to citernow, and equally as
forcible. 1t is at all times unwise to psss
unconstitutional laws, and thus involve
the people in litigation in order to protect
themselves against infringenl ents of the
fundamental law.o the State. The OBJ &C.
lions we advance are not tie outgrowth
of captious spirit; on the contrary the
RECORD UNION has the interests of the city
and the we'll ordering of municipal affairs
profoundly at heart. But the people well
know that to increase the police force as
suggested will be but to argument the
power of political force that now rules
the city like tasknaster. For all needed
augmentation of the police force the ap-
pointment of specials will answer.
SE scials have already been appointed I'M

to meet the demands for its services, and
these should be continued rather than to
get into the meshes of the litigation of con-
stitutional ENHANCEMENT. When the sys-
TEN is reformed, it should be by no patch
work, but by complete revolution that
will give the Chief of Police power to select
his men, make them responsible to him,
and make him responsible directly to the
people,
The officers also should be made secure
in their positions during competency and
good behavior. But without extending
considerations of proper reform # the po-
lice system, it is sufficient for the present
to fix attention upon the unconstitution-
atty of the proposed law sought to be en-
acted by passing Senate bill 612

First sold Found in californa.

In Los Angeles county, as many know
gold was first discovered. In March, 1912
a Mexican named Lopez found valuable
placers thirty-five miles from Los Angeles
and some $4,000 or $4,000 was taken out
annually for several years. 1t is one Of
the strangest things in the history of Cal
ifornia, that so important discovery did
not lead to a thorough exploration of the
Sierras. 'If Mexico had known the value
of California ~ historians are fond of say
ing. But is it not strange that Mexico did
not know ?-Warch OrerIaad.

THE C0LoREB MAN, NORTH.

Governor Fitzhugh Lee has returned 10
his home in the South from an extended
visit to Northern cities. Governor Lee
tells his people
1.-THE more see of the North, the more 7 am
convinced that the Southern people are the best
friends the negroes have. / heard ana saw
enough the other day to convince any one that
the Northern people care little for the negro
race. The verypeople who are disposed to grow
sentimental about the blacks, and who are
really fanatical on the subject, have nothing
whatever to do with them The carriage driver
and footman are white, the hotel waters are
saw WV very s few negroes in New York. The people
there do not " ant them.
All which proves that Governor Lee has
utterly failed to comprehend the people of
the North. Because this distinguished
Virginian did not find the black man a
servitor at al times and in all places at the
North, be rashes to the quoted.
He is oblivious of the TACT that at TIE North
the colored man is not obliged to take
serving positions, but if he has the courage,
industry and sobriety of his white COM
petitors, he can, in trade, agriculture, the
arts and mechanics move abreast with him,
precisely as he may sink with him if he
adopts his vices. Further on Governor Lee
discloses his true sentiments, when, pro-
testing that he is the best friend of the
negro, he adds that he believes the white
man to be mis- superior and that he must
therefore always dominate over the colored
man. 1t matters little what Governor Lee
thinks OF that subject, or what the truth
is, we can afford to trust to time and the
forces that determine civilizations to settle
such questions. What we have to do with
now is simply this: docs the North do
its duty by the colored citizen" Tn
hesitatingly we reply, yes" 1t puts
him into the race; it raises no legal OBJ
stacles to trip his feet; it comedies to him
every political right enjoyed by the white
man, and it can do no more Governor
Lee asserts that he heard the people in the
North freely discussing the question, ''What
shall we do with the negro?" and that while
some desired to send him to Africa, and
some to the islands of the sea, all who de-
bated it agreed that he ought to be de-
ported. Mr.. Lee fell into strange COM
panionship. There is no such question
agitating the people of the North, and
nothing looking in that direction.
