He was a coed specimen Of the sclfmade man. Born
in rural town. and given only slight educational adj.
vantages, he far outstnpped in the race Of life many
who were far favored at the outset. BY his own
sagaclty and energy he acquired ample fortune and
yet bestowed freely Of his means for great variety Of
benevolent objects. At the OF fifteen he taught
school for % a month: but. having been a printers
apprentice and a canvasscr subsequently, he founded

nearly thirty years he printed and sold By subscription
books Of popular type, such as DR.. Kittos Illus

The character of the commissioners appointed
by the President TO investigate the emigration
from Europe to America made it certain that
they would do their duty carefully and intelli-
gently. The reports of their proceedings in
European capitals show that they are continuing
their investigations with all the care and skill
which had been expected. The information which
they will obtain cannot but be useful in enabling
the United States TO deal with one of the most
serious nroblems which has arisen in their history.
The proposal to control the departure of undesir-
able emigrants from European ports by S0Ile
system of examination and Consular permit is
one of the matters 10 which the commissioners
arc giving especial attention. and their recon-
mendations on that matter will be awaited with

Oh long and long ago,
For girls TO look like lilies white,
And sit at home and sew.

But the maids behind the lattice
Their weary souls possessed

They'll keep their dainty looo'

The Duke of Marlboroughs communication OF
the American railway system is justified by the
latest issue of Poor's Manual According to that
old authority, the United States had at the END
Of 1890 1851 miles Of railroad. Comparing
with this the insignificant 10,o43 miles Of Great
Britain it is easily seen how vast are the In.
terests here involved and the resources essential
to their administration The total mileage OF all
Europe is only lj4,7!s miles France Increased
from 5.451 miles in 1850 to 1914 miles in 1889.
The percentage of increase in this country in hve
wears is 29.s-a truly remarkable addition when
one considers the original figures.

During the Cleveland Administration the
Civil Service law was VIGOROUSLY violated in
Maryland. What else could have been ex-
pected when a man like Eugene Higgins was
made appointment clerk Of the Treasury De-
partment? 1t is to the legacy of bad prec-
edents left by the previous Administration
that Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt,
rightly no doubt, attributes the decentralization
which has existed in the PostOfice and the
United States Marshal's Office in Baltimore.
The idea that the Civil Service law was not
meant to be obeyed has prevailed there, and a
lesson to the contrary effect appears to be
needed Whether such severe measures as Mr..
Roosevelt recommends need to be applied is not
so evident. But it requires no extended argu-
ment to prove the Importance of demonstrating
that this law cannot be violated with impunity.

What will General Jones do? That is one
of the interesting questions in Democratic poll
tics to-day. Governor Hill has repeatedly
snubbed the Lieutenant Governor, and at the
meeting of the State Committee last week Mr..
6heehan, the Governors first lieutenant and
probable nominee for Joness pace, took no
pains TO conceal his contempt for the General.
Now Mr.. Jones is not saying much, but that ho
is powerfully engaged in thought is not doubt
fuI. Ii is we'll known that he considers himself
entitled TO the nomination for Governor, though
he has not a ghost OF chance of getting it.

fused to run for Lieutenant-GOyeInor in 1885,
when Jones stepped into the breach-it is likely
that Jones's wrath will assume concrete and
aggravated form. lie has many friends and if

The reports Of the international Congress of Hy-
giene and Demography, in London, will naturally
send some people to their dictionaries to find out
the meaning of Demogaphy." Unless they pos
sess those of late date they will be disappointed
in their search for definition. Students OF Greek
will at once recognize the demos -people-whlch
is so familiar in the word Democracy. Ac-
cording to the latest Webster, the Inter
NATIONAL" Demography" means 1.-THE study OF
races, with reference TO births, marriages, NOR
talty, health, etc" The programme of the Con-
gress says that the word includes industrial by
giene and the condition of communities from
statistical point of view. The Congress. by the
way, includes large number of eminent men, and
the papers apd discussions cannot fail to be OF
the highest value.
