lic enterprise. Self-interest is one OF
the strongest motives in all persons,
and whatever tends to cultivate a
public spirit in any one should be en-
couraged.

True Manliness and Womanliness.
Ps. xxxvii: I'LL.
Less than a year ago we were given
this same passage upon Which TO build
an argument for happiness. Vow We
are asked TO find in it an analysis OF
manly and wOmanly character. No
one can be truly happy without being
at the same time truly manly or
wOmanly.
MANLINEss. Two distinguishing
marks are prominent:
/. Noble heartedness. There can
be no finicalnesS about manly man.
He cannot be microscopic. Infinitesi-
mails do not come into his inventory
of valuable possessions. He is never
guilty of petty prejudices and small
spites. There is largeness about his
charity and a breadth of his forgive
ness which place him among natures
nOblemen.
?. Self-control. There is no bravery
like that which faces successfully the
enemies within. Many soldier who
never fiinched before an outward foe
has trem bled in mortal fear of him.
self. His passionate nature has been
taskmaster that has held him con-
stantly under the lash. His suspicious
udbuEt HIS DctH IdlsiuS Suuclll iii
pediments all along the way. His
lustful nature has made fool of him
for years. Solomon knew these facts,
and said in his usual pithy way: HE
that is slow 10 anger is better than
the mighty; and he that ruleth his
spirit than he that taketh a city,"
A manly man is always master of
himself.
WOMANLINEss. Consider these two
points:
L. Patience. This is a noun, fem
mime. Men seldom learn its meaning.
1t is manufactured in the soul while
learning to do little things success
fully. | have known young men who
would brave the greatest danger to
rescue an imperiled life but who would
get out of patience in minute while
trying to unravel tangled bunch of
Irvine.
MOdesty. Vanity i'm woman is
amusing. Conceit is irritating, and
haughtiness is contemplate. Modesty
is Gods wOrd-picture OF true womanli-
ness. The greatest clevernesS, with
out this softening characteristic, be-
comes a dangerous weapon in the
hands of woman. 1t includes faith
and fidelity. 1t is the meekness to
which is promised the inheritance of
the earth.

Republican County Committee.

Governor Upham has decided not to
be candidate for denomination before
the Republican convention of August
5. He has stated TO his friends that
under no consideration would he
accept the nomination if rendered
him. The Governor has not given
his reasons for this step, but intimat-
ed that he would do so soon. This leaves
the field free to all other aspirants.
The republican national convention
nominated Mckinley for president
and Garrett A. Hobart of New Jersey
for vice president. The choice of Nc
kinley Was a foregone conclusion for
months before the convention and
must be taken to be an expression of
the popular demand. 1t is well
known that the republican bosses
were opposed to his nomination until
opposition became hopeless. The
nomination receives the enthusiastic
approval of republicans all over the
country and everything points to Mr..
McKinley's triumphant election at
the polls. Not only is he in full
accord with the revised judgment of
his party; he is the exponent and
founder of the best principles of the
platform on which he stands. He is
personally popular and is noted for
his universal courtesy and gentleman
ly behavior at all times. His devotion
TO his invalid wife marks loving dis
position in all his personal relations.
Attacks will be made upon him
during the campaign, but they will not
be of the bitter personal kind. They
will relate to his political views, and
from those he will not depart. The
party may well congratulate itself
upon the nomination of a clean, able
advocate of its views.
As to the vice presidential candidate
very little seems to be known outside
of his state. We would have been
better pleased to have seen man Of
national reputation selected for this
high and important position, but the
Office has come to be looked upon as a
shelving process for the incumbent
and ambitious men shun it, This is
unfortunate.
