ditiOns will confront you and what de
mands will be upon you in a very few
years, we believe you would make
more serious and earnest preparation
for the responsibility. 1t is all very
well for you to enjoy life as you go;
but be certain that in your enjoyment
and pleasures you are not adding to
the drafts you will have to meet and
that in the very near future.
What preparation are you making
to do something for yourself? Serious
ly, what are you going to do? Not be
a drone, will you? Are you educating
yourself, learning some useful trade,
or preparing yourself for some pro
fession, or merely drifting as the tide
of affairs go? Be assured that desira-
BILE positions are not going about look
ing for you. You will probably have
to begin very much lower down than
you like and work yourself upward.
You cannot drift upward. All drift
ing is downward Your progress will
depend almost, if not entirely, upon
your own efforts Elements of chance
are now ignored by all intelligent
men, and honest effort considered.
Don't think this job, or that one is
too small for you. You are very small,
indeed, if you are not doing something.
And no matter how small your OPP
pOrtunity may seem, by all means
make the very best of it you can. If
you are getting small wages, be sure
that you are not only earning what
ever wages you may receive, but that
you are serving your employer, in all
honorable ways, to the very best of
your ability Even if he should not
appreciate it, which is very improba-
BILE, there will be someone who will
see and know of your valuable ser
vice.
Don't have any mistaken ideas.
There is no merit in being SHARP, as
the world calls it. You had better be
an honest plodder; and young man
do you know that it is these very
everlasting plodders, who generally
succeed in life.
And as you go on your way, be sure
you have the esteem and confidence
of all good men. 1t is the very best
capital.
There are always good men who are
not only willing to help deserving
young men, but glad to do 50 in any
proper way. In all things, however,
learn to rely on your own eXertions
and your rise will be a source of much
qualification to you. Certainly no
man will help you if you are not de
serving.

4 Kansas idea,

The latest from Kansas is a memoir
ial which was presented in the United
States Senate yesterday by Mr.. PETER,
proposing that the power of the Su-
preme Court shall be so limited as to
require the Court, in case of an in
tended decision against the constitu-
tionality Of an act of Congress, to fur
nish Congress with an advance copy
of its decision, as in the case of a Presi-
dental veto, so that Congress may
have the right, by two-thirds vote,
to affirm the constitutionality of the
act.
The peculiar absurdity of this prop
osition lies in the fact that the very
time we are in greatest danger Of an
overriding of the Constitution by
Congress is when one party has two
thirds majority in both houses, or
when, under wave of public excite
ment, some particular measure is
pressed upon Congress with a force
which, for the time being, is irresisti-
bic. During the reconstruction per-
iod, the Republican party could
usually command a two-thirds ma
jority in both House and Senate, and
it passed more than one measure of
the greatest importance which was
afterward pronounced unconStitu-
tional by Supreme Court consisting
almost entirely of Republicans. If
the Supreme Court had then been
limited in its powers, after the man
ner proposed in this Kansas idea, not
only would these measures become
law, but no end of other wild schemes
would have been put through which
were actually never brought forward
owing TO a salutary consciousness that
the Supreme Court stood in the way.
OF course, the Supreme Court is not
going to be disturbed at all by this
puff of air from Kansas, but it is worth
while to refer to it as showing the
want of hold on the fundamentals of
our Government which seems to pre-
vail in that unfortunate State.

Our Young Men.

The success or failure of our young
men decides this cOuntry's future.
Every year marks the passing away
of many prominent business and pro-
fessional men and substantial citi-
zens. In the inevitable struggle Of
life this history is written on every
hand.
Who are to take their places? Young
man, one of these proud and honor
able positions in society awaits you;
but remember no streak of luck, no
chance turning can bring you distinc-
ton. The world now bows to no pres
tige; but unto the strong arm, clean
conscience, and the clear and mastery
intellect are all things obedient.
Young man, we are not preaching
as you call it, but are talking very
serious business direct to you who
may read.

Letter of Coincidence.

The following unique letter of con
dolence is published as an example of
somebody's grief in Frostburg:
"MR. EDITOR-I desire to thank the
friends and neighbors most heartily
in this manner for the united aid and
cooperation during the illness and
death of my late husband while eat
ing breakfast. To the friends who
contributed willingly toward max
ing the last moments and the funeral
of my late husband a success, | desire
to remember most kindly, hoping
these lines will find them enjoying
the same blessings. | also have a

Wilson Law and Cattle,

Before the ways and means com
lnittee, on Tuesday while the agricul-
tural schedule was up, representative
Curtis, OF Kansas, said that he repre-
scented the district in which more
Mexican cattle were fed than any
other in the United States, and in be-
half OF the American cattle raisers,
feeders and farmers of Kansas, he
asked 10 have restored the duty of
$40 head on all cattle one year old
and over, and So a head on calves less
than one year old. In the first twenty
one months of the Wilson law 361 900
had been imported into the United
States, of an average value of $3.50 a
head, paying 81 cents duty each.
Representative Bowers, of Califor-
mia, declared that the Wilson law had
killed the cattle business in California
flooding the State with Mexican cat
tie Labor was fifty cents a day in
Mexico. He combatted the state
ments of the cattle raisers that but
few of the Mexican stock imported
were sold, being brought in for feed
ing. Not more than one in ten were
imported for feeding.
These are matters of the deepest in
terest to farmers. These duties are
but an illustration of the inadequacy
of the Wilson law and points out the
great relief that will be afforded the
country by the Mckinley administra-
ton.

4 Good Old Shin,

Every now and then some incident
occurs to bring the frigate Constitu-
ton before the public. The battle
SCARED old warship has been QUE or
commission these many years, and
but for the sentiment that attaches
to her remarkable career, would have
been the prey of junk dealers long
ago. One of her commanders was
Commodore Charles Stewart, grand
father of Charles Stewart Parnell.
and every time the ancestry Of the
great Irish leader, or his mother, was
mentioned, it was the proper thing
to say something about the Constitu-
ton mick named "Old IrOnsides'0 and
the action off the coast of Brazil,
when Capt. Stewart whipped two
British cruisers, and compelled both
to strike their cOlOrs.
In her early career the Constitution
was probably the fastest sailer on the
Ocean,-in fact. her first great exploit
was in running away from a British
squadron, which pursued her up the
Atlantic Coast for three days and lost
sight of her on the fourth. Capt.
Isaac Hull was her commander then
and in a few weeks he had an OppOr-
tunity to test the qualities of his
vessel in pursuit, rather than in
flight. The man on the lookout saw
a little white speck on the edge of the
horizon, and after studying the object
awhile, Capt. Hull concluded that it
might be one of the enemy's vessels,
so he bore down upon it under full
sail. 1t proved to be the Guerrero,
commanded by cOmbative English
man, who didn't wait to be attacked.
When Capt. Dacres found that he
was being pursued, he changed his
course, put his ship in fighting trim,
and after a little maneuvering for
position opened the battle himself.
From the professional standpoint this
was one of the most splendid engage
ments ever fought at sea. The YES
sells were evenly matched, and the
commanders were men of indomitable
courage. But the gunners of the
Constitution were by far the best
marksmen. They raked the deck of
the Guerrero, and shot away the
masts and spars until nothing was
left but the hulk. When Dacres struck
his flag and surrendered, it was found
that his ship was SO full of holes that
it could not be brought to port, so it
was burned at sea.
The Constitution brought her pris-
oners to Boston, and after undergoing
necessary repairs, started out on an
other cruise under Capt. cambridge.
Off the coast of Brazil she fell in with
the British warship Java, and the
fine craftsmanship of the American
gunners again gave victory to the
Constitution. The Java was so com
pletely knocked to pieces that it could
not be brought into port, and was
blown up at sea. The action with
the Cyane and Levant has already
been mentioned.
The treaty of Client was signed
about the time the Constitution won

Some Rambling Thoughts.

Allow me to continue and conclude
"a necessarily brief consideration of
Spain as decaying nation. In last
weeks ''Thoughts" the assertion was
practically made that nation must
have some ideal before it beyond the
forcing of creed or the piling of
wealth. In both of these directions
Spain has been in fault. Three fur
ther enervating causes have been at
work undermining its national
strength.

THE GRANDEE SPIRIT: For centur-
les after the obstruction of the Roman
Empire by the Cloths and Vandals,
the human intellect was almost be-
numbed Until the Renaissance and
the Reformation a nall of darkness
was over all; the mobiles beS-<s 5iEtnust
as unframed as their serfs, and the
serfs being utterly crushed by those
of nobler blood. Humanity in
Europe lay like a giant chilled by the
cold. But since that time stimula-
ton of thought has caused the great
heart of the world to throb with in
creasing power, till the life of com
mon humanity thrills, in large meas
ure, even those most separate by
birth and wealth. Each age has had
its peculiar characteristic; ours is the
''People's Age But against the
tendency of the people to think and
act, hope and accomplish, the proud
and stubborn spirit Of Spanish gran
deeism has stood forth with fierce
ness. Yet Just as Canute by his word
could not hold the sea in subsection
nor Mrs. Darlington sweep back the
waves with her broom, so no dynasty
or power, even hOar with age and
crusted with heroic deeds, can with
standing successfully, by narrow
minded repression, the rising tide of
human aspiration. If it turn a deaf
ear to the cry of the poor for life and
liberty, for education, for hope, the
cry will not die out but its pleading
tone will be turned into the fierce
and fateful growl of cornered beast.
Thus has it been with Spain. Far
more organized and dangerous than
Nihilism in Russia, is Anarchism in
Spain. The Kingdom is so thorough
ly honey-combed with the sentiment
of a lawless breaking down of the
government, that the men in power
try constantly to divert public
thought from home affairs and are
glad of anything in foreign lands that
form safe outlet for the comfata-
tive spirit. They are under the
hopeless necessity of watching and
guarding against home population as
thoroughly as they would have to
watch an invading army. | believe
/ am safe in saying, not even except
ing Russia, that no other nation in
Europe but Spain is in this anomalous
condition. 1t stands revealed before
the world as nation that has not
controlled the growth of hope and
thought, but withstood it instead;
with the inevitable disaster coming
nearer every day.
COLONIAL POLICY: | fear if we look
back to the conquest of three or four
centuries ago, when constant tidings
of new continents, wealth, etc, fired
mems adventurous souls. the skirts
of no nation will be found entirely
free from innocent blood. With a
few notable exceptions, in spots, like
Rhode Island under Williams, Penn

OLD IRONSIDES.
Ay, tear tattered ensign down!
Long has it waved on high,
And many eye has danced 70 see
THAT banner in the sky,
Beneath it wrnng the battle shout,
And burst the lannon's roar;
The meteor of the ocean air
Snail sweep the clouds no more!
Her deck, once red with heroes blood
Where knelt the vanquished toe,
When winds were hurrying DER her flood
Aud waves were white below,
No more shall feel the victors tread
Or know the conquered knee;
The harpies of the shore shall pluck
The eagle of the sea!
Oh, better that her shattered hulk
Should sink beneath he wave;
Her thunder shook the mighty deep,
And there should be her grave.
Nail to her mast her holy flag,
Set every threadbare sail,
And give her to the god of storms,
The lightning and the gale!
