His own mission never declines. No
one remembers the day when he had
not some sinister forebodings. Mis-
takes with him count for little, his
courage always exactly equals his
convictions. But somehow, in spite
of him, the wise old world joys on,
and it may be that he lives for a pur-
pose. There are other men of very
different mould, usually discrete and
really valuable men, who on occa-
sion permit themselves to drift into
idle and lugubrious forms of speech.
Senator John Sherman of Ohio, a
man of talent and real merit, who
has done his country much service
and will do more, allows himself
now and then to lapse into lamenta

Major Grout has most OF the old
party leaders at his back, while Mr..
Stickney's support comes quite
largely from the young men in the
party. 1t is true that some Of the old
party leaders are for Mr.. Stickney,
and that many young men favor
Major Grout's candidacy. There are
wheels within wheels IN the guberna-
torial bicycle now racing through
the state. Futures" are being
thrown out on the roadside, rot by
the riders themselves, but by trailers,
who think they see possible senators

Senator Sherman RecoIlections.

The most valuable contribution to
the worlds knowledge of the United
States is undoubtedly found in Mr..
Boyce's American Commonwealth"
But the Memoirs, as well, of some
of our energetic and talented public
men contain much material of
genuine interest Senator Sherman's
great work in two volumes rehearses
his share in the great events OF the
past forty years. Few men in that
time have contributed more to sound
legislation in this county than he.
He is great enough to confess to
some mistakes of judgment, and the
county very likely in view OF his
great services will see fit to condone
them. Altogether the two volumes
are a very readable review of some
portions OF great event in our
country's history.

George VanderblIt's "Biltmore. y

The secretary of agriculture, Mr..
Morton, is clearly Of the opinion that
George Vanderbilt is a man of genius.
His vast estate of ninety-hve thou
sand acres at Asheville, N. c., proves
his great executive ability. Every
inch of it is subject to scientific care,
He purposes to unlock the secrets OF
food culture on economic conditions
He employs the best men available
for his experiments, paying them
literally. He has nearly one thou
sand men on his pay roll, and adj
vances them for efficiency on civil
service principles of high order.
The Secretary maintains that "Bilt-
more" is a good object lesson in ag'
ricultural art; and that scientific
farming is certain to be promoted in
all the adjacent country, and the in
fluence OF its best work felt in remote
lands.
