inevitable result of the apprehension.
writes George William Curtis, in liar
pcr's Magazine, is to regard that gen.

SO that the politician is often trying to
conform to n standard that he dcspises.
Instead of asking what docs the public
advantage require and what ought to

that will ALLEVIATE the least votes.
Craftsmanship, he says, consists in do
ing what You can, not what Won would.

but no man until Tic tries knows what
he can. 1t is certain that you can do

the vital condition of progress is that

step is not generally approved until it is
