Emerson said that the secret of success
was concentration. The sage of Concord
and the practical man of Wall street are
here in agreement
Mr. Clews is a member of the Union
Club and the Union League. He lives in
one of the uptown palaces of New York
and has fine collection of pictures. He
is man of very domestic habits and very
temperate He does not smoke, and gives
it as reason that his father did not
smoke before him, and that he has always
followed to advantage the good example
of his father. Furthermore, he does not
require the weed as he is full of natural
stimulant and does not feel the need of
anything artificial. James Blanchard
Clews who at 30 years of age is one of the
successful young men of Wall street, is a
member of the Union League and of the
Manhattan Athletic Club. He used to re-
side in Buffalo, where he boarded in the

Clews is Brooklynite, and may be seen
every day among the shouting throngs on

formed the waiting crowds that the out
RACES of the afternoon were cowardly,
and that when the prisoners were

protected. His remarks were received
with cheers. A few minutes later
the procession started for the depot.
The wounded brought up the rear,
several being carried in chairs aud no
demonstration was made on the way to
tie station. The trip down to Pittsburg
was made quietly, but at every station a
large crowd was gathered and jeered
and hooted. En- route one of the men,
Peter Couman, Of New York, had fit,
requiring four men to hold HMM a seat.
On reaching Try street station, Pitts
burg, the wounded men were taken
from tho train aud removed to the West
Pennsylvania hospital. The train was
then taken to tho enty-eighth street
station of the Pennsylysnis road, an en-.
gine attached and the train pulled out
eastward. How far east they were taken

THE WORK OF TRAMPS.
Valnables Of Bishop Zardetti's at st.
ClOud Stolen.

ST. CLOUD, Minn., July 5.-Last
night thief visited Bishop
Zarditti's residence. After tapping
the ice box at the rear of the build
ing and feasting on sardines, chicken
and sour milk, he went to the front
and entered the house by the sitting
room window. Just across the hal
is the sacristy, where there is a large
cabinet, filling one side from floor to
ceiling, in which are the valuable
vestments OF the priests and q number
OF chalices, plate, etc. He opened
two Of the doors, all of which are
unlocked, and took two chalices,
and evidently then was frightened,
as two solid silver plates were
dropped, one on n shelf and the
other on the floor. The chalices
were plated and worth about $40
each. In the office was 5000 in cash,
which was not touched. 1t is supposed
to be the work of tramps.

THE SOURCES OF WEALTH.

from the ot. raul GIODe.
The other day, after a half-hour
spent at the telephone, a man remark
ed on the wonderful results Of that
invention. He said that he had
called up half a dozen people in Sue
cession, and by few minutes conver-
sation with each had accomplished
work which under another system
would have consumed a day or more.
"And yet, "he added, my hours of
labor are not any shorter than they
used to be-"
This is true not only in his case,
but in the case of everybody else who
uses the modern devices for economic
ing effort. The mechanic whose ma
chine dues what once required the
hands and muscles of a score Of men
gets to his bench at about the same
hour as did his father, who died be-
fore the patent Office amounted to
anything. And the speed Of the rail-
way trains does not justify one in
lettering OH the way, or in adding a
week to his summer vacati0l Foil
ers toll just as hard as ess aid.
The effect of inventions has not
been to diminish work, h9kfo increase
wealth. The same amount Of energy
produces infinitely more than former
" because it is better directed. Com
modities are cheaper, as it does not
take SO much time to make them.
The artisan wsges higher also,
since in the sames Mber Of hours he
can achieve greater results.

the majority, and coming around the
next day and being congratulated for
having the nerve to stand by his
opinions. As chairman of the house
on railroads two years ago
he did as much as any one man to
knock out various choice bits of anti
railroad legislation, ,and his record will
in all probability give him walk-over
for the Democratic nomination in the
Forty-sixth in case he comes up for
an Endorsement. Time was, and not
very long ago, when there was
pretty healthy Stivers boom for
congressional honors started in the
Sixth district. Mr.. Stivers said
yesterday that he was not a candidate,
and while they all say that-at this
season Of the year-yet there is every
reason to believe that the Brainerd
editor was sincere. He fancies that
Henry Kellar will be the Democratic
nominee, and declared that the fight
on the Republican side lies between
"Zeke" Kendall and Judge D. B.
Searle. The former seems to have
captured the St. Louis delegation in
Mr.. Stivers' opinion, which, added to
the fact that Duluth is determined to
have congress man without regard
to his politics, gives him an edge in
the betting. 1t is a case of Duluth
against the field in the Sixth, and if
one party names a man from the
metropolis the other will nominate its
candidate from the district at large.
Hence, as the Republicans will be the
first in the field with their district
convention, the nomination of Kendall
of Duluth. will strengthen the
chances of Keller, from Sank Center.
Though Mr.. Stivers did not say in so
many words, the inference was plain
that in his opinion the Duluth
nominee would receive the practically
solid vote Of st. Louis county, no
matter what his politics, we're lie
Republican or Democrat.

Democrats are realizing their mis-
take made in adopting their free trade
platform. The free traders we're
with them anyway, and now even the
low tariff Democrats must vote against
their convictions or desert their party.
It doesn't seem in the line of reason
to expect that the Democrats can
carry any Northern stare on their
present platform. Democratic sue
cess is greater menace to the
country's prosperity than ever before.

The Duluth Tribune has q good
candidate to support for congress in
the Sixth district. But in making
wholesale charges against the oppos-

character on the bench and in
business and politics has never be-
fore been assailed even by Democrats
our Duluth contemporary is weak
ening its cause with the public and

The two candidates are men Of pro-
