THE MIN WHO SUCCEED.

The report OF the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company for the past year shows
gross earnings Of sl2s. Gs4l2O. and during
the same period the road handled H.
1872 GA tons OF freight.
The late President ROberts-the man
who was largely instrumental in build
ing up this great system. began his career
as chain-carrier and worked his way
through the various departments up 10
the presidency. His successor President
Thomson began as an apprentice IN the
machine shops, and he. too. has worked
his way up to the top.
There IS valuable lesson 10 the young
IN the lives of such men. These men
worked as hard and as faithfully when
earning their board and clothing as wnen
they had charge of the affairs or the
road. at handsome salaries. That IS
the only stuff that succeeds. The man
who does his best at all times Is the
man who goes ahead.
But we did not set out 20 moralize.
We call attention TO the fact that in
this day OF machinery, splendid oppor-
tunities offer themselves in the mechan-
ica world 10 young men.
We hear a great deal I'm this day OF
idle men, who cannot find employment.
but our experience is that the man who
knows how TO do some one thing wei
IS rarely long out of a job, and that the
man who can do some one thing bot
ter than his fellows may always be sure
of good salary. Many boy has been
ruined by being educated for profess
sion when he should have been in the
workshop. Education IS an admirable
thing when applied in the right direction.
but we want schools that Will educate
boys for what they are best fitted. Pro
fessional schools for those whose talents
lie in that direction. and industrial schools
for those who are best fitted tor me-
chanical work.

tcious of II he would inevitably have a
leaning towards il when its interests were
at stake. OF course We are making no
point with respect TO Colonel Cutshaw
particularly. If there IS any man in the
world who could hold the scales of JUS
tice even under such circumstances, We
believe he could. We are dealing with u
principle. We are dealing with the prop
osition that men in representative places
should receive no favors from those whose
interests are TO be passed on by others.
We once heard a distinguished judge say
in returning railroad pass, that com
pany had sent him, some things are
lawful which are not expedient."
When Lord Bacon was charged with re-
ceiving brides as judge. he urged in de-
fence of himself that no man could say
his DEGREES were not just and what they
ought to be. whether he received presents
from suffers or not But he was con-
victed all the same, and. in spite Of his
brilliant services TO mankind. he has been
universally condemned ever since, for
his act.
