A YOUNG F~iNANcieR.
His Arrangements Carried as Well as He
Could Hayo Wished.

Gould Havo Wished.
Two littlo follows who boarded tho Clark
street Car, near the limits barn, yesterday,
werc evidently laboring undor a severe
montal strain. The younger had long yell
low curls and was not over 4 years old.
Tho ago Of tho other was not SO easily told.

They did II largo amount of animated
whispering and tho smaller kept an anx-
ious eye on tho conductor.
There ho comes, Walter" whispered
tho little ono In curls to his elder brother
as the coin collector approached.
keep still!' was the unsympathetio
answer of tho senior us he glanced indiffer-
emily about tho car and assumed to be to-
tally oblivious Of tho conductors presence.
Fare" called tho latter, hating in
front of tho little pilgrims.
Tho tiny %flnancior paid no attention to
this challenge, but continued to eye the
cooling baby mt the other end of the car.
Fare, young man." sternly repeated
the conductor, touching tho arm of tho
elder boy. Tho passengers who had OBJ
served tho previous movements of the boys
felt that this crisis had not boon unantici-
pated and developments were watched
with curious Interest. But they were not
prepared for the frankly subtle bit Of d.
plomacy which followed.
II haven't my faro, SIR" answered the
spokesman OF tho pair, looking the con-
duotor straight in tho eye.
But didn't your folks give you any
money to pay your fare WITH" persisted
the conductor.
Yes" wns the ingenious reply, "but
the other duct didn't charge us any
thing when wo went to grandma's this
morning, and SO we thought you wouldn't
either, and we just went and spent 1t all
for candy at tho store"
This closed tho testimony for the de-
tense. Tho passengers manifested their OPP
provnl and tho small flnancier calmly drow
a much bedraggled piece OF candy from
the depths of his reefer pocket and began
to nibble it while the court made up It's
decision.
After q moments hesitation the con-
ductor exclaimed, We'll, son; you're q
birdV' and passed on to gather in the re-
manning fares.-Chicago Post.

An indication of Friendliness

The overture of President Diaz of
Mexico to Great Britain and Venezuela
for the amicable purpose of restoring
diplomatic relations between those two
countries is an act which, whatever the
issue of ii. will reflect credit upon the
Mexican government. During the stir
ring diplomatic incidents of the past
year or so. in which have been affect
ed interests vital to the welfare of
republican government i'm the western
hemisphere. Mexico, so far as official
returns show. has kept studiOusly neu-
tral. The present overture may be
taken as an indication that this neu-
trality has not arisen from indiffer-
ence.
A pleasant feature of the affair, and
one which ought to confirm the Ameri-
can people in their determination to
stand In the future as I'm the past, for
the complete observance of the Monroe
doctrine in letter and in spirit, con-
sists of the fact that when news of the
friendly disposition of President Diaz
reached the government of Venezuela,
It was Immediately communicated by
Mr.. Andrade. the Venezuelan minister
at Washington, to Secretary Olney,
with a request for his advice. In the
presence of Minister Andrade and
Minister Romero of Mexico. the matter
was discussed by. Secretary Olney in
all its bearings, and It was decided to
defer active negotiations along this line

tion Of 5urisdictiap over the territory

Proposed New States .

There seems to be a likelihood that
the American people will one of these
days be afflicted with a new state-mak-
ing fad. The propositions to make
three states out Of Texas and two out of
California are old: but two others af-
fecting remotely distant localities are
comparatively new. One of these con-
templates the making Of a new state
out of Delaware, and those parts of
Maryland and Virginia popularity
known as the eastern shore" 1t would
include, of Maryland, the counties of
Dorchester, Wicomoco. Somerset and
Worcester; and of Virginia. the counties
Of Accomac and Northampton. This
proposed state would have population
of 36i,219 as against the 1GS. .493 present
population of Delaware. 1t would eX-
ceed in population Utah. Rhode Island.
North and South Dakota, Vermont.
Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Wyoming,
Washington and Oregon.
The second dream of a new common
wealth emanates from the zenith city
of the unsalted seas" Duluth. which
wants a separate state. to be called
superior" created out of parts of
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan.
1t is proposed to let the lower peninsu-
lar of Michigan, with it's Al 900 square
miles of area and it's 2O.,3, ,9G5 people.
form a state by itself. The new state
of Superior would be composed of the
northern half. or a little more. of the
present Minnesota together with Doug
las county and small parts of Burnett.
Washburn and bayfield, counties in the
southern boundary line would be de-
scribed in part by the Iron and Tolo-
gallo rivers in Wisconsin, then by the
st. CrOix river down to the fOrty-sixth
parallel of north latitude thence by this
parallel west to Morrison county,
cllde Morrison county, the northwest
ern half of Stearns and all of Pope,
Stevens and Traverse counties. Mime
sofa would be composed of the southern
half of the present state and that part
of the present Wisconsin west of the
Black river, including nearly all of Tay-
lor county. the northwest half of Lin
coin county and half Of Oneida county,
together with Gogebic and Ontonagon
counties in upper Michigan. the north
eastern boundary being coincident with
the Ontonagon river. The state of Wis
consin would be composed of the rest
of the present Wisconsin, together with
the remainder Of upper Michigan.
This arrangement would give Michi-
gan 41,364 square miles, Wisconsin,
46,433, practically the same as the area
of New York; Minnesota, 50,ss2; Su-
perior, 5o.35O. 1t would leave Michigan
with 1,7sO.s population and Minnesota.

THE POWER OF JOURNALISM.

BY Charles Emory Smith.
The power of journalism, always cy-
panding. has pre-cminently illuminated
recent history. 1t has leaped seas aul
lead nations. Its diplomacy has outrdH
and outmatchei that of the diplomats.
Within ten lays the journalism of ETs-
land and America recast public opinicn,
mastered governments, modified policies
and made war impossible--and this not hv
ordinary discussion, but by consumnate
coups eQualling the strokes OF statecClf.
or the genius or geneialship. No better
illustration of the unbounded capabili-
ties OF profession within whose univer'
sal scope every devotee has the oppor-
tunity of his talent, and where duty. ie-
sponsibility and influence go hand IN
hand.

A Popular Candidacy.

Marshall Gushing. one of the kcenest
of the lyny-cyed men who make a
business at Washington of studying po-
li'ical opinion from news stand
point. pronOunces "wonderfur' the
power that Senator Quay has among
+he Republiran leaders everywhere,
particularly among the class of Re
publicans who do the party'S hard fight
ing. "They recognize in him." says he,
mot only a man whose victories have
heen greater and against greater odds
than those of any other Republican
campaigner. but they recall that he has
gone through the fire of attack and
slander, and they like him for that
partly because they themselves. in their
own smaller way, of course, have suf-
fered n great deal of it,"
Commenting upon this. the Elmira
Advertiser. owned by j. Sloat Fassett,
who. it will generally be admitted is
something OF a fighter himself. declares
II to be the literal truth. 1t adds: 1.-THE
splendid courage and high abilities of
the man have endeared him to the mill
lions of young progressive Republicans
of the United States" Mr.. Fassett. al
though at odds with Platt. Is for Nor
ton. and will be for him as long az his
name shall be before the st. Louis con-
vention. But between the lines of his
papers editorials on Quay 1t Is not
difficult to detect wish that Morton
were politely out Of the way so that
the thick -and-thn. up-and-down Re-
publicans of the Empire state might
yet turn in for stalwart of their own
type, just as West Virginia Republic
cans threaten to do after casting Il
complimentary ballot for Senator FL
kins. And If Quay can command such
sentiment as this among the anti
Plattites of York state. there need be
little doubt as to where the Platt forces
themselves would stand, with Morton
once off their hands.
1t is the general belief, and Senator
Quay has not taken any particular
pains to modify it. that his candidacy
IL q strategic move rather than seri-
Gus bid for the party nomination. In
that sense it is unuuestionably salts
factory, since it will mean a reunited
party in Pennsylvania. Nor do we in
candor think that his chance of winning
at st. Louis is sufficiently large as yet
to necessitate anxiety. But II is al
ready certain that he will command
following beyond the limits of his own
commonwealth-a following made up OF
party stalwarts who have no special
liking for statuesque figureheads and
good looking automata in politics. but
who think this an auspicious year for
the recognition of the actual and active
leaders of the party. Among this class
of Republicans Senator Quay is un-
doubtedly popular-more popular, per-
haps. than any other living man. They
admire him for his radical dissimilarity
to the conventional type of dressed-up
candidate. poised and posed by men be-
hind the scenes. And whether they
nominate him or not-and in cOnven-
tions they are powers-they will at
least see that he gets a good testi-
monial vote.

An Excellent Suggestion.

The Chicago Times Herald urges that
patriotic ceremonies on Lincoln's birth
| day be more generally observed in the
| future than in the past. 1t thinks that
every pulpit i'm the land. on the Sunday
prior, should conduct patriotic services,
with Lincoln, his great deeds. his in
valuable services to the world. his pure
life. prominently discussed in all the
| churches In the republic" and that
Lincoln exercises ought to be held. the
Friday before. in every American school
| room, public, private and parochial.
| Our western contemporary adds;
Every schoolhouse and church
would thus become an institution for
teaching patriotism. In republic
like ours. the model republic. we must
depend largely upon the patriotism of
the people. We have no great stand
ing army. If dqnGer comes 10 us all
that we need is n patriotic people, such
as we have today; from such Il people
will spring at the call of authority, all
of the soldiers that will be needed in
protecting our country, no matter
whether one or half Il dozen powers at
tack. Let us impress these thoughts
again and again upon preachers and
teachers and hope for a vast increase
of demonstrations on I.incolns next
birthday over those of any previous
year"
To these prudent words little can be
added save an unqualified Endorsement.
Those who have accorded to the Won
derful life of Lincoln that thought
which its farreaching lessons and con-
sequences warrant do not need to be
told that exercises fittingly commeno-
rative of his birth must, from the very
nature of the man, teach in combina-
ton the truest religion and the purest
patriotism. The inspiration and i'm
port of such a career can never be too
familiar To the citizenship of the gov
ernment which. under God. he saved.
