DOING ONES BEST.

Edward Everett Hale, in the course OF
sermon which he preached in this city last
Sunday, insisted that the humblest manual
aborer, equally with his brother-man whose
career abounds with the highest achievements
of the intellect has right to and ought to re-
gard himself as "a fellowworker with God"
The old saw runs, Whatever is worth doing
at all is worth doing well George Herbert
sang Who sweeps a room as for Thy laws makes
that and the action fine. The millionaire who
had been n bootblack, being twltted about the
branch of business in which he was first en-
gagged, manfully replied: "Well, one thing
recall with pride when get to thinking of my
bootbacl1 days: | always was careful to give
the heels as good shine as | gave the uppers."
The consideration is familiar one, but it
cannot be returned to too often since it is the
KEY to success in life. Now and then one gets
70 the top of the ladder as the result of happy
accident But. as n rule, especially in this land
of ours with its abundant opportunities for ALL
men achieve greatness. and achieve it by doing
their best at whatever their hands find to do
while yet they are unknown. The reason why
so many on the lowest round of the ladder never
rise much higher evidently is that they aspire
eagerly but neglect to work thoroughly. There
would not be so much room at the top OF all
the professions and Of all branches of business
if this truth could be more generally laid to
heart by the toilcrs at the bottom. They yearn
nightly 10 be rulers over many things, but in
the meantime place stumbling blocks in the
path of their own hopes by being unfalthful TO
n few things. If one desires to grow in pes
sinlism he has only to watch some OF the gangs
of wolkmcn employed upon one OF our public
Jobs in this city. These persons seem to be
successfully wrestling with the problem OF how
to accomplish the least in the longest amount
of time. Nevertheless, these able shirks as
they rest from their laborS in the evening very
likely wonder why it is that they never get on,
that they are not promoted to be foreman of
the job or to something higher. The fact is
that they do not deserve to get on. They may
be said to be the architects Of their own oh
scurity So il is in every department of human
actiyty-thc banc of business is the shirkcrs.
Thousands Of men and women are out of en-
ploymcnt to-day. and yet the supply of first
class work OF whatever sort be it sweeping
room or preaching sermon, is never equal to
the supply.
There is another important phase of this sub
jcct If those engaged in the lowicst of oc-
equations conld be made to realize that if they
render good and faithful service they have u
nigh, to regard themselves Is fellow workers
with God,r then they would understand and
appreciate what those mean who insist upon
the dignity or labor. such an understanding
could not fail TO prove the foe of discomfort. t"
inspire cheerful patience and a rcsolutc per-
severance.

THE TTE AGREEMENT

Somewhat less than two years ago Congress
directed the appointment OF commission to
treat with the Ute Indians of Colorado for their
removal from the present reservation to an
other one in Utah. The lands they now occupy
are contained within strip of country lying
along the La Plata River, 10 miles long and
8 miles wide. They were placed here in 1880
in accordance with treaty which promised
them numerous advantages, scarcely any Of
which have been conferred. With these poor
wrctches, as with their race generally, our pol
icy has been to give them just what they ought
not to have. and to withhold those things that
would do them real and lasting good They
have had plenty of beef, blankets and ponies
all Of which they should have been compelled
to work for, but no effort worth the name has
been made despite our solemn engagement, to
educate them or to place them on their own
farms and to promote industrious and thrifty
habits among the tribe.
They had not got well settled upon their
Colorado reservation before the white people
around them began to agtate for their removal.
Indians, under existing conditions, are always a
nuisance to white people, because they are idle,
shftess, and hence inevitably more or less dan
gerous, since they keep good lands waste,
separate civilized communities that need TO DO
connected, and interfere generally with all
schemes Of development. These objections
bear with more than usual force against the
Southern Utes in their long and narrow reserya-
tiOn and finally, after eight years of effort adj
dressed to the authorities at Washington, dur
