Our esteemed contemporary. the Minnedp-
oils Tribune, rises to move the nomination
of the prince of private secretaries and
chief Of factotums. the shrewd, diplomatic,
indefatigable, and close-mouthed Col. DAN
lei. LAMONT. HE is self-made man OF
the people," cries tho Minneapolitan OBJ
server with just enthusiasm, "and as
CLEvEIAND's legatee would poll the full
CLEVELAND vote. and probably moro He Is
a New Yorker; he Is popular, able. availa-
BILE, and not too youthful. Give tho young
man n chance" Everybody will subscribe
to the eulogium OF the astute political gem
ius who dares to be a DANIEL. He Ia able.
he is popular. and he is just young enough,
although, il wisdom is gray hairs to young
man, METHUsELAH was chicken COM
pared to him. His study Of cables has
not impaired the deftness OF his touch
upon tho wires. and it is believed that
he has not given up entirely the hopeless
task OF pumping political sense into the nj
trogenous candidate. The weary years dur
ing which Col. LAMONT has been pilot fish to
the whale have not impaired his buoyancy.
He is as alert, as long Of head, as affable.
and as secretive as ever, and nobody that
appreciates political talent can help regret
ting that this fine intelligence has been
wasted upon an inert subject. Bucephalus
tugging along at numbering old slow coach
is q mournful suggestion OF gifts thrown
away. On the board OF business the Colonel
stands in the king row, and there Is his
proper place on the board OF politics. What
great things he might do II he would start
out for himself. handicapped no longer by
preposterous heavy weight.
Col. LAMONT has been newspaper man,
and his popularity with the profession has
been maintained without diminution In spite
of the fact that deaf mute is loouacious COM
pared to him when he has secret that ALT the
world longs to hear. We are the more sur
prsed that any person accustomed to the
use OF pen and ink should speak of him as
the Claimants legatee. There is nothing
but failure and derision to inherit from that
source. Not as legatee. but as his own
bright, buoyant, and modest self. should Col.
DANIEL LAMONT appear whenever he wants
an Office.
There are snags. however, in the way Of
LAMONT boom for the Presidency. The
sentiment against second or third term
would be too much for the keeper Of the
Stuffed Prophet. Col. LAMONT has had the
honor OF being President Of the United
States for four years. That will have to
suffice him. He is rattling good fellow,
all the same. and not ineligible on account
Of nocuous suet.

The clergymen Of at least one religious
denomination enjoy long life In this wicked
world. according to the statistics just pub
lished In the CongreRationalist Year Book.
The number OF clerRymen OF the American
Congre gattonal Church who died last year
was ntnety-nine. and their average age was
II years and months. or moro than twice the
average ago Of the other people who constitute
the general community. In the fifteen years
from 1875 to 1890. the number Of ConRrega-
tional clergymen who died In this country was
1.261. and their average age was one month
moro than GO years. which Is still far beyond
the average age OF other people. This is
splendid record for the CONGREGATIONAL Church.
We do not yet know how 1t compares with the
records OF the clergy Of other churches: but
We doubt II it is beaten by any OF them. More
than two-thirds OF those long-lived clereymen
were college graduates who went through
college before the opening OF the athletic era
In which We flourish. We suppose they owed
their long life to their virtuous habits.

who grew very enthusiastic in the course Of

Rian that the millennium would open In thirty
years from this time through the conversion
OF the world to Christianity. That Is to say.
1t will open in the year 1921. at which period
millions OF people who are now living In the
world will yet be alive in it. We are not able
