will be retained Those who work
well for others work we'll for them
selves. Those who do not frequently
find their reward in the poorhouse.
How often have I observed that the
manufactures who made the best arti-
Gle he possibly could for a certain price
grew steadily richer. while he who
made the poorest article he could sell
for the same price grew poorer until
bankruptcy resulted.
To be successful in the best sense of
the word one must work with an hon
esty of purpose, giving full weight and
measure, and doing all things we'll to
the whole extent Of his ability. The de-
sire to get rich in a hurry mars the hap
piness of many men, for wealth is of
slow growth; but it comes at last to
him who does not waste his moments
but works with all his might and lives
on less than he makes. Riches thus ac-
quired bring comfort ana happiness.
Do not forget, though. that there is "a
Withholding that leadeth to poverty"
not only in money but in happiness; for
the poor we have always with US, and
to them we must always be ready to
give our portion. do not refer to those
jackals in human shape who howl along
our track with the outcries of the i'm
provident, who think the world owes
them living; who want to gather
where others have sown, who want to
pick up something without laying any
thing down, and make those who save
divide with those who will not; for to
give to these is almost a sin, because
giving to them makes the world worse
instead of better
Hoping you are quite well, and with
kind regards as always, sincerely yours,

adding to the downward momentum of
Spanish paper.
There is no likelihood that this pother
will eliminate in war, but if it should,
the American people will gladly well
come it. We recognize the simple fact,
without analyzing it or philosophizing
upon it, that there is a warlike feeling
among our people They are not seek
ing war, but they are particularly care
full to avoid any expression that would
indicate desire to avoid a conflict with
a foreign Power.
Behind Legislatures and Constitu-
people always. 1t makes and unmakes
Constitutions. it determines policies
and gives and resents affronts. The
English Constitution, unwritten and
not to be read, is composed of the body
of the laws and customs of the people,
and these are the outgrowth of the sem
timent of the people. Our Constitu-
ton, though written, and an express re-
straint upon the legislative, executive
and judicial branches of our Govern
ment, is not the less the result of the
sentiment of the people So, too, will
be any action that the American Con-
gress may take. 1t will not do other
than reflect the wish of the mass of the
American people in any question in
which national honor is involved, or in
which the extension of our sympathies
to a people struggling for the right of
self-government is concerned.
If Spain provolzes a conflict with the
United States she will simply be
promptly whipped. If she attempts to
follow the line of excited expression of
her populace regarding the destruction
of American commerce on the high
seas, she will confer a lasting favor
upon the United States, for that COM
merce is something we have been vainly
seeking to discover. 1t may be that
the Spaniard will be more fortunate
than the American has been, and bring
to light some ships flying the Stars and
Stripes whose hulls are laden deep with
the spoils of commerce When it
comes to that, Spain will discover that
roaming the ocean for American COM
merce on which to precipitate herself
will be a fools errand.

A NO-TO-BAC MIRACLE.

An Old-Timer Cured After Using To-

LAKE GENEVA (Wis), March =
(speciaD.-The ladies of our beautiful
little town are making an interesting
and exciting time for tobacco-using
husbands. since the injurious effects OF
tobacco and the ease with which it can
be cured by No-To- -Bac have been so
plainly demonstrated by the cure of F.
c. Waite. In a written statement he
saws: II smoked and chewed tobacco
for twenty-three years, and l am sure
that my case was one of the worst in
this part of the country. Even after
went to bed at night. if I woke up
would want to chew or smoke. 1t was
not only killing me, but my wife was
also aiIing from the injurious effects.

county, and it is estimated that over
thousand tobacco users will be using

popularity about No-To-Bac as medi-
cine is that the makers, the Sterling
Remedy Company of New York and
Chicago, authorize every druggist in
America to absolutely guarantee the
use of three boxes to cure or refund the
money, and the cost is SO trif1ing, as
compared with the expensive and un-
necessary use of tobacco. that tobacco
using husbands have no good excuse
to offer when their wives insist upon
their taking No-To-Bac and getting re-
suits in the way of pure. sweet breath,
wonderful improvement in their mental
and physical condition, with practical
revitalization of their nicotinized
nerves. .No-To-Bac not only cures the
tobacco habit but restores vitality and
nerve vigor It is indeed a miracle
worker for weak men, and the public is
warned against having limitations

of No-To-B -Bac has brought out a host OF

Within three months after the out
break of the great American rebellion
Spain recognized the belligerency Of
the Confederate States. We have
waited ten years in the case of Cuba.
A United States Senator has put these
facts very neatly before the public
mind. When the Spanish people come
to think it over they will realize that
they have been hasty and passionate
in their action in Madrid and Barcelon;
the blood will cool, and so far as war
with Spain is concerned the whole mat
ter will drop out of sight. But as surely
as THE sun shines Cuban independence
will come about, and the sympathy OF
the United States with the Cubans will
have much to do in Fastening its sue

Some of the English press take a
strange view of the Spanish incident.
One of them says that even if it is
granted that the Senate had a right to
pass the resolution it did suggesting
interference in the Cuban rebellion, the
remarks of some of the Senators in de-
bate were recklessly offensive" That
is an utterance made in ignorance of
the fact that in Governmental exchange
between nations, neither party goes
back of the law. the declaration or the
official expression to consider the indi-
yidual utterances of legislators in de-
bate or otherwise. The right of free
speech in the United States is not de-
pendent upon foreign favor.

A story of Charles o,Conor.

AT the closing of the ST. Nicholas
Hotel in 1874, in answer to a question
by the writer, how he succeed in saw
ing the life of Colonel Loring in the
memorable trial for murder committed
at that hotel, Charles O'Conor gave the
following account:
After the trial had proceeded for
some time, the court was informed by
the jury that one of their number was
a relation of the prisoner. The court
adjourned the trial for consultation on
question so serious. Mr.. O'Conor, as
prisoners counsel, consented to the
withdrawal of the juror and stipulated
to proceed with eleven jurors. The only
point was doubted, but, on consent of
the District Attorney, the trial pro-
ceeded with eleven jurors. The only
witness to the killing was the bootblack,
who testified that on some disturbance
being made by Graham, in throwing
out his boots, the prisoner angrily
came from his room and, an alterca-
ton ensuing, with his sword-cane
stabbed Graham, and worked about
the weapon when in his body; and wit
ness shortly informed prisoner that
Graham was dead. What did he say
iWn6n you lOIQ IllIIl lIllS AIS W0A
mol" O'Conor-"Is that the answer
of one who intended to kill? Is it
not the answer you would make if in
formed friend you had just seen was
dead?'' Seeing the jury somewhat i'm
pressed by this view, and the change
appearing in their faces, he so pressed
the point that they found a verdict
of manslaughter. The court imposed
the heaviest penalty-imprisonm for
seven years.
In Mr.. O'Conor's opinion, the greatest
lawyer was not the man who knows
the most law, but the one who sees at
a glance the real question involved;
and he often declared that many cases
were carried to the Court of Appeals
without the lawyers on either side dis
covering the real legal principal which
must govern the case.-W. Watson in
North American Review.

The San Bernardino Sun" quotes
from the Record editorial pro-
testing against the banking of public
funds, as follows:
1t has been said that to permit the
banks to use public funds is accommo-
dation to the merchants, who are thus
enabled to carry" the farmer, and
hence all are benefited. But that is
reasoning in a circle. If there is any
thing in it, it would be wiser for the
State, the city or the county to leave the
tax money in its original form in the
hands of the merchants and farmers
subject to call only as needed. There
would at least be some beneficence in
that and it would work the elimination
of middle man.
The Sun" adds: This is get
ting around to a proposition upon
which the Sun holds a caveat.
1t is entirely competent to de-
wise a simple and workable scheme for
calling in the taxes as they are needed.
At any ordinary rate of taxation the
account for taxes offers abundant Sc
curity-better than any bank or bond
could give-and it is only a matter of
patient ingenuity to arrange the de-
tails. And thus, without detriment to
anybody, the public funds could be re
plenished as needed, and the use of
their money by taxpayers, except as re-
quired for public use, could be guaran-
teed. It were much better than what
often happens under the present sys-
tenn, a dozen or more taxpayers borrow
ing and paying interest on the same
money wherewith to pay their taxes. .
1t makes no sort of difference who
originated the idea" If the Sun" is
father of it we are gratified to accord
it the credit of originality. It seems to
US that the proposition" is natural
and inevitable answer to the objection

The Supreme Court of the United
States yesterday decided the Stanford
case in favor of Mrs Stanford. This
outcome was expected. The decision
of the court below was so clearly the
law, that there has been very little
doubt among lawyers as to what the
Supreme Court would do This judg-
ment frees Mrs. Stanford from all en-
barrassment in conducting the univer-
sity on the lines laid down for its pro-
motion by Governor Stanford, and as
sures its perpetuity. 1t is cause for con-
graduation among the people that this
magnificent educational endowment is
not to be destroyed. Governor Stanford
was stockholder in the Central Pacific
Railroad Company. Because of that
fact the Government brought it's action
to recover SIS, 100000 from the Stanford
estate as its share of the indebtedness
of the company to the Government The
defense was based on the non-liability
Of the stockholder, and that the Central
Pacific Company occupied a different
position from other corporations be-
cause of it's relations with the Federal
Government. In the United States Cir
cult Court and in the United States
Court of Appeals the Government claim
was disallowed and judgment went for
the estate, Whereupon an appeal was
taken to the United States Supreme
Court. From the brief synopsis of the
decision at hand, it is learned that that
body now holds with the courts below
that under the former Constitution of
the State, under which the road was in
corporated, individual stockholders are
not liable. The Government took as Sc
curity for the liability to it a mortgage
upon the road, and it clearly was not the
intention to hold the stockholders also
for the liability, and it is instanced that
il such had been done in the case Of the
Union Pacific for example, the construc-
tion of the road would have been much
retarded. 1t is plain, said the court,
that it was not the intention to impose
obligations in the case of one road that
did not obtain IN the other. For it's
purposes of securing one continuous
line to be built Congress treated the
Central Pacific only as a means,
