The federal elections bill intro
duced last Thursday in the Senate ny
Mr.. Hoar is by all odds the most ex-
traordinary measure of che sort vet
produced. 1t proposes, in brief, to
put the control of congressional cleo
tions entirely into the hands of can
wasting boards and supervisors ap-
pointed by federal judges, the States
being wholly ignored. These judges
are nearly all partisans, and all, with
the exception of the few appointed
by President Cleveland are RepubIi-
cans. They are to appoint election
officers, who are TO prepare the lists
of voters, supervise the elections,
with dictatorial powers, count the
ballots and certify the result. Their
certificates are to be the only creden-
tials of members of Congress. Neither
the Governor of State nor the Leg
isiature is to have any part or lot in
the holding of congressional elections
or certifying results 1t is to be
federal affair, under control of under
lings pledged to advance the interest
of particular party. The National
Legislature is to be the creature of
appointees of partisan judges, WHO
are the appointees of partisan Pres
ident. A more revolutionary and of
fensive bill, says the Baltimore Sun,
has not been presented at Washing
ton since the reconstruction era, of
odious memory.

The Silver Bill agreed upon by
committees of the Senate and House
directs the Secretary of the Treasury
to buy $500, 900 ounces of silver per
month at the market price, provided
that price does not exceed 81 for the
quantity in the STANDARD" silver dol
lar, giving in exchange therefor treas
ury notes redeemabfe on demand in
lawful money and receivable for all
public dues. These notes may also,
on demand of the holder, in the Sec
retary's discretion, be redeemed in
silver bullion equal in value at the
time to the amount of the notes. The
present law requiring the coinage of
so many silver dollars per mouth is
to be repealed. The effect is to pro-
vide market for from SD, 1000, 900
to 100000 900 worth of silver per.
year, according to the success of
operators in bulling the market. The
currency will be swollen to cores
ponding extent yearly by the issue
of notes. If the biIf becomes a law
silver must go up. Our production
of it is only about 45, 900, 900 ounces
a year. The worlds product is but
11o,o0o,OOO ounces. Deducting the
amount consumed in the arts, we
shall find ourselves the purchasers of
one-half of the worlds supply. The
bill is victory for our silver kings,
binetaIIists and Wall st,..+ o,,a,,+x,.-s.

Why Some Men do Not Succeed.

Two Of the most successful men on
the North American continent were
recently asked the question,
"What are the causes of poverty ?"
One replied, IGNORANCE and incapac-
ity." The other said that the preval~
ent cause is "The number of young
men who are wanting in decision
and fixity of purpose. If they get
into good place at the start, they
should stick to it, knowing that by
perseverance, industry, and ability,
they win promotion in due course as
vacancies occur. But they see or hear
ofsome one making a fortunein Wall
Street, or in ranching, or in mining,
and away they 60 to try their luck.
When they Iose,as they do in ninety
nine cases out of a hundred, that is
the end of them; they can never set
tie down to ordinary ways of earning
living after that, and their descent
is rapid" This reason hits the nail
square on the head. Go where we
will, we will find men who COM
menced life under the most favorable
circumstances, but who are such COM
plete financial wrecks that there is
but little hope for their reformation.
They may be honest and temperate;
they may even possess natural abil'
ity of high order, but lacking in
steadiness of purpose, they will never
succeed. Had they sufficient will
force to stick to one thing, no matter
how disagreeable it might be at first,
were they content to advance slowly,
they would have no reason now to
talk of the "luck" of those who have
pushed forward into the front ranks
Another cause of poverty is a lack
of self>confdence. Many men seem
to have no faith in themselves, con-
sequently no asseItiveneSs, no indie
pendence, no pluck and no push
They are afraid to stand up anC
speak for themselves, preferring tC
lean on others. They are afraid t.
make an investment, because of thu
possibility of failure; they are afrait
to tell what they can do, as they
might make an error in doing it
they are towards in every sense o
the word. This is often the result @
early training. A boy, natural!
timid, is kept in the background 81
persistently, and his mistakes are s,
severely criticised, that he grows u
into an entirely useless man. Pusl
and fixity of purpose will Away
bring a measure of success.-St
Louis Miller.
