LYMAN J. GAGE.

President-elect McKinley's Sc
lection of Lyman ]. Gage of Chi
cago to be Secretary of the Treas
ury in his cabinet has been receiv-
ed with a wide spread non -parti-
san commentator that is quite
unusual Mr.. Gage is one of the
Self-made men of the middle west.
who started out TO make his
way in the world with only a
high school education and good
health for capital. He is now one
of the leading bankers of Chicago
having reached the highest post
ion that can be attained in any
financial institutions of that city.
At the inception of the Worlds
Fair, Mr.. Gage was one of three
men who practically guaranteed
the s1O,0O0,00O which the city
was called upon TO pledge to car
~ ont the exposition.
The principal objections radical
Republicans make to the selection
is that in 1884. Mr.. Gage voted
for Cleveland. This is met by the
statement from Mr.. Gage that he
held up both hands for McKin-
ley in '96" He also states that
he does not consider himself call
ed upon TO attempt TO influence
Mckinley'S administration on
matters not connected with ma
tional finance. He is sound
money man TO the back bone. and
his past record demonstrates that
he will not be swerved from his
plans for reform by any silver or
etceAedCh HcteSN THAT HAY spring
into being.
From a political standpoint he
is Republican of the most con
sentative type, built something
on the mugwump plan. 1t is bear
ly possible that by taking Gage
into the official family Mckinley
seeks TO repay the debt which he
owes the National Democrats.
McKinley's selections thus far in
dictate a determination TO gather
about him a class of men who
will err on the side of eonserva-
tism if at all.

moving at one command. The lib
erYl Protestants see the value of
this masterly organization, in ex-
tending religion, and would like
to initiate its best methods, but
cannot break down the inSuhordi-
nation of the different seets.
This is not the place for con.
uoversy. Out of all these suug-
giles of the churches will come the
best and final truth. There is no
backward movements anywhere.
Al the foot of every page in his

Even DR. Lyman Abbott said the

THE POPE.

The new and radical stand tax

the attention Of the world. He has
abandoned the venerable and ira

church into line with democracy

startling and far reaching policy.
The Catholic conservatives. every

Cardinals. and the faithful. in
Rome. are quietly but vigorously
opposing him, but aged and feeble
as he is. he Is having his own way.
This is, perhaps, the most impG-
tant event of the latter years OF
the century.
In the recesses Of the vatican,
he has pondered over the prob

The world Is full of heroes
Who have never tasted fame,
Because the chances needed
For their yalor never came.
The woods are full OF songsters
That have never charmed the ear,
Because when they have warbled
There has been no one to hear.
There is exc full many a poet
Who has never tuned Tyre
Whom chance has left with naught to
set
His gentle soul afire.
Would the silvery- throated diva.
Who sings but to enhance,
Have ever risen from the crowd
But for lucky ehanceg
Would assassinated Caesar
Still be known to men today
But for the opportunities
That tum5led in his way?
Would Napoleon the mighty
Have been Emperor of France.

Formed to open up the chances

A gust of wind might bring him wealth
Or lift him to renown.

The authorities of the State of
South Carolina are, with much en-
terprise, carrying on cotton plan
tation with convict labor. There
are several thousand acres under
cultivation. Over $4,000 has
been invested. The last year
brought profit of $4,000. 1t
was claimed, more than 80 years
ago, by student of penal insti-
tutions, that the true disposition of
the convict is to put him in some
way on the soil and teach him to
make living out of it. 1t has been
proved, by millions of experiences,
that a man can live on the product
of well titled acre of ground.
The convict, at the best, has been
taught only trade, which carried
him 10 the cities and makes him
a competitor in the labor market
The action Of the authorities Of
South Carolina is progressive and
opens the way for the best solution
