WASHINGTON, Feb. 1, 1895.-Consul
Campbell, at Newcastle-on-Tyne, writes
to the State Department that in con-
nection with the discussion of the pres
ent small participation of the American
flag in the carrying abroad of American
products it may be of interest to note
the experience of that consular district
alone during the past year. AT Newcas-
tie and it's agencies at Hartlepool, Sun-
derland and Carlisle, 1877 consular bills
of health were issued to foreign vessels
bound to the United States, mostly in
ballast, and bound to ports all the way
from Boston to Galveston, in pursuit of
American cargoes. Of these 42 are
British, So were under various continent
tai flags, and, with the exception of
eleven sailing vessels, all were steamers
averaging above $500 ions each. Dur
ing the same period but a single Amer
lean vessel, a sailing ship of 1,572 tons,
arrived n departed in the Tyne con-
sular district.

THE REWARDS OF PUBLIC LIFE.

The expiration of the Fifty-third con-
gress has sent into retirement an I'M
usually large number of men who have
been long and conspicuously engaged
in public service. Some of these dis
carded statesmen will probably regain
their lost places after time, and
others will secure political employment
of some different kind, while still
others cannot hope ever to hold another
office. Among the latter is Hon. w. S.
Holman, of Indiana, who fully realizes
the situation, and frankly accepts the
fact that his public career is ended.
There is touch of pathos in his state
ment that he is now going back to his
farm, after having been a member of
fifteen congresses, to spend the remain
der of his days in rural quiet, close to
nature and free from all ambition. He
is nearly seventy-three years old, and
for over fifty years of that time has
been almost continuously in office. The
business of politics has absorbed his
attention ever since he became voter,
and, according to the ordinary standard,
he has been notably successful. That
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1895-03-21

is to say, he has obtained the position
that he sought, and has rarely known ;
year in which he was not drawing al
official salary. He gained prominence
in congress; his name was familiar
one everywhere; he was an acknOwl
edged political leader.
There is much in the record of such
a career to suggest the idea of success
to the average politician, or to the
Young man who thinks of entering pub
lie life: but that is not the way it looks
to Mr.. Holman. He does not contem-
plate it with the feeling of satisfaction
that it seems to justify. 1t is disap-
pointment to him i'm the sense that it has
not paid. He has lived frugally, and
yet in all this time he has not been able
to save any part of his salary. The
government has prOfited to the extent
of millions by his careful and econo-
mical service in the matter of apprOpri-
atoms, but that has not been of the least
pecuniary advantage to himself. Il
leave congress poorer than | was when
| entered it, he says "My farm of 100
| acres is not worth as much as it was
when ] went to Washington, and i
have nothing to show for all my pro-
! longed political work" The lesson of
| his experience, as he reads it. is that
men had better keep out OF politics.
There is a certaiDa fascination about it,
and it offers certain chances of general
usefulness; but so far as individual
prosperity is concerned, it is a snare
and delusiOn. There is nothing in
it," he declares: and this is the uniform
testimony of all those who have given
to it the best years of their lives.
1t is a well known fact that the pay
of public officials at Washington is
much smaller than that received by
other men for the same order of SER
vice in the different professions and the
various forms of regular business. The
government gets It's work done for
lower wages than any private firm or
corporation employing men of equal
ability. Mr.. Holman could have ac-
Quired fortune if ne mad chO1en almost
any other pursuit; and the same - 10
be said, as rule, of all those who make
a vocation of politics. The most that
they can hope for in the public service
is an ordinary living; and as for repu-
tation. very few Of them gain enough
of it to be remembered year after
they lose their offices. 1t may be said
that Mr.. Holman was long time in
finding out the mOckery of the thing.
and that he was even willing to serve
another term, but that is merely to
specify the melancholy fact that after
a man has been in politics for given
time, he becomes confirmed office
seeker and is disqualified for any legiti-
mate occupation He forfeits his self
reliance, his business capacity, his rela-
ton to the practical affairs of life, and
cannot succeed in competition with
men of better experience. The politi-
cal beach is strewn with wrecks of this
sort, and Mr.. Holman does well in
warning young men against career

To all entreaties for compromise to
avoid trouble Premier Greenway turns
deaf ear, and 1T is inevitable that If the
dominion authorities restore Roman
Catholic schools in Manitoba they can,
only do SO by force. In Winnipeg there
is said to be q growing movement in fa-,
vor of secession from the dominion,
which in reality means the setting up
of crown colony entirely independent

that Premier Greenway and those back
of him will bitterly resist to the utmost
the restoration Of Roman Catholic

minion authorities seem bent. The
premier does not qualify his assertions
in this regard.
