a Failure.
When you have anything to do do it
with all your heart. Half-hearted peo
ple never 'set the world on fire.
When you are in pursuit of an object
or plan, stick to it as long as there is
anything to hold fast to. 1t sometimes
requires lots of grit to stick to thing
through days, weeks, months and per-
haps years, but that is the only way to
accomplish anything valuable in this
world. No person ever became great
scholar without lots of grit, displayed
often even under the most discouraging
circumstances. II circumstances are
not to your liking make them. All
really great statesmen, lawyers, doctors
and clergymen have secured their high
positions mainly by the use of grit.
The same may be said of all successful
merchants and business men OF every
kind. No rich man ever obtained his
money and property except by the use
of grit Grit is the main difference
between them and the worlds failures.
"Bad luck will sometimes overtake
the best of men, but if they only have
grit in their composition they will gen.
orally restore their positions and for
tunes. and are often even better and
wiser for their misfOrtunes. Under
such circumstances never think you
are not half as smart as some Of your
acquaintances who do get along, for
smartness alone is not enough to make
one successful. Some military men
have said that General Grant was not
the smarteSt soldier that ever lived
but that he owed his success to his grit
the fact that he never lost heart, but
kept pounding away under what often
seemed the most discouraging circum-
stances. When one begins to feel half
hearted, then is the time to pull your
self together" and put your grit in the
front rank. No young man will ever
amount to anything by sitting around
deploring his luck, which is what some
do when things don't go to suit them
Grit and the genius to contrive ano
make things 60 is what advances young
men in the world, if they are worth q
higher position than they now occupy
If they have not the grit or ''sand, tt
90 ahead and do something for them
Selves they are not worth assisting
Bows. especially, of every degree, should
remember this, brace up, and become
celebrated for having large amoun
of grit of the right kind.-The Advance

CRIME IN BUSINESS.
Education the Chief Factor in Checking
This Vicious Practice.

A writer on breaches of trust in busi
ness says that they are prevented
neither by education nor religion, as is
proved by the painful fact that some of
the most conspicuous crimes of this
kind have been committed by men of
education and high standing in the
churches.
In one sense this is quite true, but it
is also true that except in education
there is no remedy at all for such dis
eases of human nature as those from
which these crimes result.
Education is not mere matter of
knowing how to read and write, of hav-
ing acquired certain amount of knowl-
edge on given number of subjects or
of regularity in saying certain number
of prayers every day.
Men 60 to school, to college, to church
in the hope of acquiring the education
they feel in need of, but it is entirely
possible to go to the best school and
the most helpful church in existence
without becoming educated.
The fact that men go to school, to col
lege or to church shows that they feel
themselves in need of education and
that they have taken the first step to-
wards getting it. College membership
or church membership can never be
guarantee of possession of the kind of

leges and churches. 1t is merely pre-
sumptive evidence that those who make
such profession of desire to become
educated are making greater effort to
secure education than those who never
20 to school or church at all.
1t is certainly true, however, that
education is having most marked ef-
feet in checking crimes in business
The credit one man puts in another in
business; tho faith the average man ex-
ercises in his average fellow, is being
extended every year, and it is already
marvellous.
With blind confidence in the proper
education Of the average man which has
something sublime in it, thousands of
people every day trust their lives un-
conditionally to the good faith, honesty
and capacity of railroad conductors,
engineers and brakemen. And so in
business they trust their fortunes to
men they have never seen, assuming
always that these mon have been so ed
ucated that they have the intelligent
and disciplined morality through which
alone men become able to meet their re-
sponsibilities.
The man who will not put this conf
dence in his fellows will never be
, successful in business, because it is
impossible to take the first step in sue
cessful business Of Organization
without learning to put the fullest
confidence in the willingness and the
, ability of others to do their duty and
to keep faith.
The standard of honesty in society is
being raised with every century and it
is being done by education. The edu-
cation of the home, of the school, of the
church and practical work must CO.
operate to make an honest and cOmpe-
, tent generation, and it must be good
. education all along the line. A failure
. at tone point is failure at all.-St. Louis
Republic.

We had good evidence last January that
number OF the representatives OF European
powers at Rio were ready for Intervention In
the affairs Of Brazil to the detriment OF It's
Government. It was thou that they heard
from this country the words Of warning
Hands of Brazill" The words were not ON
cial nor from the State Department; yet not
the less did they express the sentiment OF the
American people and receive the support Of
tho 90 Intry. Very soon thereafter the foreign
powers concluded to postpone the day OF in
tervention. They restrained their hands.
They knew that the voice which reached them
from this country was authoritative. oven
though 1t had not been raised In washlne eton.
1t was well for them that they gave heed
to It Meanwhile. the Brazilian Government.

soon relieved 1t from all danger OF foreign in

milton. Hands orr in the hearing OF the rsp-
resentatives Of the European powers at Rio.

vention had been executed last January. its

The Wreck At Roncador.

The recent Investigation Of the Kear.
| sarge disaster has resulted in preliminary
decision unfavorable to two OF the ofilcere
| Of that vessel. The court Of inquiry finds,
according to the statement made public.
that Commander HEYERMAN and Lieut.
LYMAN were negligent In the performance
Of their duty. Secretary HERBERT ex-
presses his approval OF this finding. and.
ordering a court martial for the trial OF
these officers tomorrow.
As the inquiry conducted by the court
over which Admiral GHERARDI presided
seems to have been fair and considerate.
doubtless its conclusions we're reluctantly
reached. There had been hope that an
error in the charts would fully account for
the strange disaster: but while stretching
all the possibilities Of this sort, 1t seemed
evident that the Kearsarge had gone need
lessly. and. as 1t proved. fatally near the
principal source OF danger that she had to
keep clear OF. In her short voyage from Port
au-Prince across the Caribbean Sea. There
was not even storm to help to account
for the disaster. The evidence indicated q
liability OF the currents around Roncador
to shift. and that no margin had been al
lowed for this shifting. which was thought
to be what carried her on the reef.
It will be interesting to noto whether the
opinion reached by Admiral GHERARDI's
court will affect the fate Of the Hartford. A
liberal provision Of money for refitting FAR
RAGUT's renowned flagship for cruising SER
vice has been made In the pending Navy
Appropriation bill. The suggestion had oc-
CURED that, II proper care was taken OF the
Kearsarge. and yet she was lost, 1t would
be better not to run similar risks with the
Hartford. but to keep her safely laid up In
ordinary as a relic. The chief value OF
the two vessels has been not the rou-
tine duty they might perform, but
their past glories and inspiring associa-
tions. which increase the pride OF the
people In the navy and their desire to do
everything possible for 1t. But IL Admiral
GHERARDI's court has ascertained that
proper caro- and caution would have saved
the conqueror Of the Alabama. then 1t may
be safely assumed that most unremitting
attention will be exercised In any future
cruises Of the Hartford. The hard lesson
OF the fate Of the Kearsarge will not be for
gotten by those who are intrusted with
the charge OF FARRAGUT's flagship. so that
no expense should be grudged that Is need
ed to prepare her for active service again.

Tho Chamber of Commerce in Error

A m emorial against the BLAND Seignior-
age bill. and urging President CLEVELAND
70 veto It, was adopted yesterday by the
Chamber OF Commerce. The memorial. It Is
said. was drawn up by the Hon. ABRAM s.
HEWITT. and is. In the main. well reasoned
and convincing. One misstatement In IL,
however. requires correction. 1t is this:
''Ths proposed issue 10 based upon the violation
Of the faith OF the nation In fAT diuss the
security which pledged under the act Of 1890 for
che redemption OF the Treasury Issued there
under"
Mr.. BRAYroN IVES. In q speech which he
made upon the subject. also remarked:
Every ounce of silver taken from the store In the
Treasury for coinage under the proposed bill would Be
taken from amount already pledged By the oovsrn
nsns - security for the notes already issued"
Tho act Of July Il. 1890. which Is referred
to as authority for these assertions, pledges
nothing whatever as security for the notes
of which IL authorizes the issue; nor does Il
forbid the use for the benefit OF the Treas
ury OF the difference between the cost of
the silver bullion purchased with such
notes and Its colning value. On the
contrary. 1t expressly declares that the
Secretary OF the Treasury "shAll coin of
the silver bullion purchased under the pro-
visions of this act as much as may be neces-
sary to provide for the redemption OF the
Treasury notes herein provided for. and
any gain or sei0niOra0e ayisin0 from sucA
coinage sAdH be accounted for and paid iaso
As Treasury
The Secretary OF the Treasury has. there
fore. already power to coin OF the silver
bullion purchased under the act Of July "A.

requisite to redeem the notes issued
under that act. and to coin and issue
for general purposes the remaining sill
ver to the amount OF S65.OOO.OOO The
BLAND bill. now before the President. does
no more than dispense with the prelImi-
nary coinage TO the amount OF the Treas
ury notes. and permits the immediate use
OF the seiRniorage. This Il bad enough,
but 1t does not involve any violation OF
public hath.
