 You are not mistaken, MT Whack- ster, and am perfectly willing that you should know the reason. Iou seem to have no worthy ambition, no definite purpose, no object Tn life.

You have no con ception of the joys that reward the man who consecrates himself to lofty ideal. You know absolutely nothing of the pleasures of the thinker.

AN important decision has been reached by the courts in the case of Comptroller Eckles against the Wash ington national bank of Tacoma. Wash ington. The bank, which suspended some time ago. was in the hands of a bank examiner. The bank officials de sired to resume. but the condition of it's fnsncee was such that Comptroller Eckles would not give his permission. The bank officials then tried by apply ing to the court to take the bank out of the hands of the comptroller. Being informed of this action, MT Eckles placed the bank in the hands of a re- ceiver. While the bank was still in the receivers hands, the court denied the application of the bank officials. The decision is regarded as important, sus- taining the right of the comptroller of the currency, as it does, to the sole con- trol under the law of the national banks of the country.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND never worked harder since he became president than he has done since his return to Wash ington. In addition to his desk work of itself task for an ordinary man, he has held important conferences with every member of his cabinet upon mat ters pertaining to their several depart ments; with numerous senators Cn the outlook for the passage of the silver repeal bill, and with Chair man Wilson, of the house ways and means committee, upon the new tariff bill, public hearings upon which were Monday begun by that committee. In short, Mir Cleveland has, after hls vaca- tion, taken up his numerous public duties with the vigor which has always characterized his administration of pub lie affairs. The talk about his health being undermined and broken is arrant nonsense. He was overworked; needed rest, and now that he has had it is all right again.

DIED DOING HIS DUTY.
One of the Famous Broadway squad Killed
 by Cab Wheels


 NEW YORK, Sept. 6,-Policcman Thomas Gleason of the famous Broadway squad was run over by a cab and killed while on duty at the crossing at the corner of Tenth street and Broadway For 20 years Gleason had served the city, and for five years he had been on duty at that dangerous cross ing
 Four girls going west from their work wished to cross Broadway, and Gleason took them in charge. He brought them safely over and had almost gained the curb himself At that moment a cab came along at a rattling pace, and Gleason turned tu stop it from collidinG with an eNpress wag- on blocked by cable car. He lifted his hand in warning to the driver. The latter. however. paid no attention, but drove on. Gleason ClutCht at the horses head and succeeded in getting hold of the lines, but only momeutarily, for he fell under the horses hoofs.
 The hoofs of the horse crushed his skull and body. The outer wheel of the vehicle completed the work.
 Officer Patrick Sullivan, who is of the Broadway squad, was in the crowd He instantly arrested the driver, White, a small man, who was dressed in plum colored livery When he saw the officer dying on the hagstones, he fell back faint ing in the arms of his captor He soon re vived and was taken to the Mercer street police station. An ambulaISe was speedily summoned but Gleason was beyond human aid
 Brother officers kept the vast crowd in | check, only few of his comrades and | two or three ladies stood around him when | the end came.

What Constitutes a Journalist?

In an address not long since an Eng ish editor gave it as his opinion that the real test of a good journalist was the ex- tent to which he was interested in read ing newspapers. A man who desired to be 8 journalist should be universal in his desire for knowledge. Further. the purposes of the modern newspaper would best be served if the young man Ehould fit himself for duty in one par ticular branch or department of journal Ism and then learn all he could about all the other departments.
 The editor was right ill both sugges- tions. The person who is fit to be a journalist will toll enthusiastically to lay up great store of knowledge on all subjects. Then he will gradually single out one or two departments in which he will make himself an expert. for special ization is the order of the day in journal ism as elsewhere. The journalist cannot possibly know too much.
 One other suggestion the British editor | should have added. It is that nobody is fit to be a journalist unless he can write so clearly that he can make the most ab- struse subject plain to the understand ing of the average laborer. That may be said to be another test of good jour- naliSt

Afraid to Wake Up.

Little Johnny wasn't lazy, but he did hate to get up in the morning. One day Johnny came down very late, and his mother said to him:
 Johnny, why did you not rise earlier this morning.

FRANCE, having been accorded her own terms so promptly by Siam, has ap- parently repented of her moderation, and, according to Bangkok advices, is making supplementary demands which, even if in a measure justifable, are both irritating and ill-timed. There may be politics back of the business, but it would be difficult to discern in it the statesmanship or maguanimity that has usually marked Frances treatment of inferior powers.
