WHAT SHOULD HE D07

The other day teacher heard Of 8 Two
thousand dollar position. "Just the place
he wanted" He did not stop to inquire
lit was just the place that wanted him,
but made application, post haste. A lit.
tie questioning showed that he was ut.
terly incompetent to I'll the position. He
had certain accumulation offacts which
he regarded as sufficient stock in trade
but the business of teaching he knew
nothing about
twas suggested that he spend three
years at normal schools in order to quail
ify himself for the position he coveted.
"Three years He hadn't the time fol
that" out if he could just get the posi-
ton and the salary for q few years, then
he would see about attending the normal
school "to top off with"
Sad mistake! 1t wasn't the topping
off" that he needed; he lacked The fous-
dation. This is the trouble with nine.
tenths of the people in every walk of life
who are full of complaints that the world
does not appreciate them. They are on
tip-toe waiting to be called up higher
instead of listening to the inner voice
that is continually calling them to better
work and higher purposes.
The best positions do not 60 by favor.
itism, there is work to be done; men and
women are wanted who can do It; not
those who can think about it, and talk
about it, and tell hrw it ought to be done,
or how they would like 10 try it, or how
much more they wnut the salary than the
one who ia getting ii. If ycu aspire to a
higher place than you hold, dou't waste
timein talking, but quofyy!or the place;

aud prove To the world that yuu can do it.
You think thai IL the hardest task-to
make the world believe. in what ynu can
do; ."o, it isn't That ,qnite II JON TO lie
sure, au! he very hardest thing of sl is
to dn lie work TO study, t" think, to
pal and dig away laying u solid fcuuda
ton oi training and capabilisy-in the
shifting sand OF day-dreaus and idle
wishes. No man ever wished himself in
to anything worth having. Few men
ever worked honestly, intelligently, per-
sistently to fit themselves for position
that was not GLAD to get them as soon as
ever they were ready for it.
1t signifies nothing that q thousand
men are struggling for every single posi-
ton the men are not big enough; if you
want the place you must be bigger than
the man who is there now. You must
gro,O so fast that your present place won't
hold you. You must be so full of heat
that something has got to crack; like q

Deafness Can't be Cared

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
aud that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by On infamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
ian tube. When this tube gets inhamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the in
hammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
Of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inhamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that we cannot cure by taking Halls Ca.

She Robbed the Mails.

CHARLOTTE, N. c., August 3l.-Mrs.
Mary Boyd, the postmistress at Biles-
vile, a thrifty town in Stanley County,
on the Danville, Mocksville and South
western Railroad, has been arrested for
robbing the mails. Mrs. Boyd has been
discharging the duties for several months,
and during that time sums of money dis.
appeared. Government detectives were
set to work to watch her, and notwith-
standing that they secured evidence which
strengthened their suspicious, the woman
managed for long time to battle them
in their efforts to obtain working clue.
This week two detectives of the mail
service forwarded two registered letters
from village near Bilesyille to Denver,
COL, via Bilesville, containing several
marked bank notes. On the next night
the mail lay over in Bilesville, and when
it went out to Gold Hill the letters were
missing. When this was discovered the
two detectives hastened to Bilesville and
presented themselves at the postoftice.
Before making known their business, they
asked at the Office for some change, and
in making it the postmistress passed out
to them two of the naked bills which
were identified at once. A warrant was
secured and Mrs. Boyd was placed under
arrest for rifing the mails. When it
was first announced she grew hysterical
and tainted. Upon recovering she lis.
tened coolly to the questionings of the
officers and met the charges with steady
denial.
She was escorted to Salisbury, where q
hearing was given her yesterday, and she
was released for trial at an early date to-
day upon giving bond for her appearance

CONGRESSMAN CARTER has been made
secretary Of the republican congress
sional committee, the chairman of which
is James j. Belden, of Syracuse, N. Y.
Mr.. Carter is in very bad official COM
pany. If there is bigger political ras-
cal in the country than James j. Belden
his location is not known. The record
of this man is so bad that he has only
reappeared in politics after long period
of disgraceful exile. He was the most
conspicuous member of the infamous
canal ring of New York, and was at one
time arrested and held under 500, 900
bail for criminal connection with this
ring. When Jacob Sharp was on trial
for bribery he testified that he had
given James j. Belden bonds of the
Broadway railroad aggregating s65,OOo
without consideration. He also testified
that Belden was useful man who did
not move around for nothing. With the
millions taken from the state of New
York Belden retired until the storm of
public opinion had quieted. Then he
reappeared, and through the liberal use
Of Doodle was elected to congress. It is
said that he now aspires to the United
States senate. The only apparent rea-
son for Mr.. Carter's official association
with Belden is that he may have better
opportunities to secure republican
doodle" from the east for the fall cam
paign in Montana. Mr.. Carter expects
to run again for congress, and he knows
that his record as congressman is vul-
nerable in many places. To Offset this
disadvantage he hopes to secure money
from the republican money kings of the
east. AS secretary of the congressional
committee he expects to find unusual
opportunities for reaching this result.

LOVE FOR THE OLD FLAG.

In the course of an address to COM
pany OF veterans at Boston the other
day, President Benjamin Harrison re-
marked: "There are indications in this
country to-day of revived love for the
old flag"
Perhaps as good place as any to look
for these indications is in the congress
Of the United States, for that body is
popularity supposed to look after the in
forests of the people. Here we find the
revived love for the old flag" manifested
in curious ways. To begin with the re-
publican members of congress are at
tempting to carry through the force
bill, a measure as vicious and treacher-
GUS to the good of the country as can
be conceived. II it becomes law revo-
luton and bloodshed will follow in cor
tain states represented by certain stars
az :co! Is any II the old flag. The
rights, privileges and property Of as
loyal a people as can be found in the
country are to be trampled under to
further the maintenance Of political
power by the republican party. In time
of peace and prosperous growth Thomas
Bellyband Reed and his fellow conspir-
ators show their love for the old flag by
reopening the lines of sectionalism and
creating dissension among the citizens
OF I, common country.
This republican love of our national
embldm is shown in other ways. There
are the tariff monopolists who have leg
slated fortunes for themselves at the
expense Of the great army of workers;
there are the pensionkings, the Lemons
and the Dudleys, who are plundering
the treasury under the guise of friend
ship for the veterans; there are the
Quays, the Beldens and the boodlers
who have found no rights too sacred in
their Unsuitable greed for power. Here
IN Montana we have seen not one, but
several phases of republican revived love
for the old flag" A ring Of state-stealing
thugs defiantly set aside the honest bal
lots Of the people and sent two of their
kind to misrepresent Montana at the
national capitol. They found agents of
corruption on every hand to aid them
in the most dastardly and Infamous
political theft ever attempted in any
country.
In this connection it is proper to IN.
quire what love for the old flag means
Is it a patriotic affection for the country
and her people, or is it an empty senti
ment to serve as masque for subsid!
hunters and political bandits? Does i
signify interest in the national welfare
or is it reduced to by-word for advent
urers? There is no lack of pure patri
otism among the people at large, bu
there is mighty little of it among tn
men who make it their political stock il
| trade.

taxed enormously high, cutting off all the
profits.'
Unfortunately for the administration
the Minnesota republicans have the
habit of saying what they think. This
freedom OF expression has of late been
strikingly shown in the revolt against

manager Of the Union Pacific coal depart

announcement that after August Is the

Union Pacific that Denver is the true center

the near removal of other important depart
ments and eventually the location of the

will. therefore, be regarded as one OF the
most important changes that has been made
by the management of the road for some
time. The chief officials have decided that
the present method of handling the coal de-

cause Quay had felt called upon to
contradict such statement, that other
people were also called upon to con-
tradict mendacious statements attributed
to them on similar subject. Senators
knew that such statements as to himself
were n,endacious. Frye moved to proceed
to the consideration of the river and harbor
bill. Edmunds demanded the yeas and nays

Frye to allow him to have the bill taken up
for action, Frye excused himself for declin-
ing to do so, and said that he had asked the
finance committee to let him have two
days for consideration of the river and har-
Dor bill, to-day and tomorrow, and that he
should ask the senate to remain in session
tomorrow until the bill was finished. He
did not feel at liberty, therefore, to yield
any time for any other business. Among
the amendments reported by the committee
on appropriations agreed to by the senate,
was one inserting 100000 for the entrance
to Galveston harbor, Texas.
An amendment was reported and agreed
to by the senate inserting provision for a
commission to determine the best location
for a deep-water harbor on the Pacific
coast, and inserting provision to re-examine
the harbor at Port Oxford, Oregon, for a
harbor of refuge.
The house Immediately proceeded to
the consideration of the conference report
on the Indian appropriation bill. After
considerable debate, in which Springer
moved to recommit the bill to the commit
tee on Indian affairs, the conference report
was agreed to. The house then resumed
consideration of the Nat. Mckay bill, the
question being on its reference to the CON-
mittee on claims. This was rejected.
