How to Succeed in Life.
Norfolk Trginian.

Hon. Carrot A. Hobart, the
Vice-President-elect, was sought
the other day by young man
who wanted his advice as to "the
best thing a young man could do
In ordor to secceed in life" and
here is what Mr.. Hobert said to
him: Be honest and industrious
all through life in whatever you
may be engaged, and you need
not fail of success" This was
good advice and if followed no
young man need fear the result.
Both are necessary to succeed,
even in the smallest degree.
While it is true that there have
been cases where young men
have been both honest and in
dustrious and yet have not sue
ceeded in accommodating wealth,
yet it must be remembered that
success in life is not entirely
measured by the dollars one may
have. There are greater and
higher aims in life than simply
money-getting, though it is I'M
fortunately true that such is the
fixed aim Of already too many
men, both young and old, of this
day. A full measure of success
in this life is not, nor should it
be, estimated by dollars, and yet
how often it is that men in their
mad haste to accumulate wealth
forget everything else which
goes toward making life success
tul! fla young man is honest,
industrious and frugal through>
out success, in all the term i'm
plies, is sure to come to him.

The Ordor OF Good Living.

There is plenty to eat and
good cheer with it in at least
one part of the moral vineyard
The Abbeville IS. c. Chronicle
says:
"Hog brains, fresh sausage,
'backbones, and spare ribs!
Everybody knows that these
things mean a regular hog-kill>
ing time and that is the sort of
time our people have been hav-
ing for six weeks or more, except
when interrupted by intervals
of warm weather. More hogs
have been slaughtered in this
section than in any previous
year, and nearly as many more
remain to be killed. 1t is won>
derful where they all come from.
Does this not look like good
times? Of course some men
will still cry hard times but
does anyone remember a time
when they didnot? There never
was year when the pathway to
prosperity will be CREASED for
everybody. But as a matter Of
fact the farmers generally are IN
a better condition today than
they have been at any previous
time for years. They are pract-
1cally out of debt, all have some
ready cash, aud with Well-hlled
smoke houses, barns and graner>
les, the proverbial wolf is rot
likely to prowl around their
doors for twelve month to come.
We are having good times now
and better times are com,
ing. Our farmers have but to
keep their courage up, their ex-
penses down and all will be hap
py."

The Situation In Crete.
Norfolk TU.ginian.

There is no excuse whatever
for the presence of the Turk IN
the Island of Crete, and the
cause of the Christians there has
aroused widespread sympathy IN
every civilized land, yet, outside
of Greece, no hand is uplifted tor
their rescue from a thaldom
worse than death. That Crete
has been wretchediy governed
no one doubts, and tilt inc Dog
of a Christian" as the Turk
styles them when he refers to
one of the Christian faith, has
been the object of his butchery,
is equally true, but when the
people of the little island takes
up arms to have their wrongs
righted the Great Powers calls
upon them to halt That this IS
so is a shame upon the Christian
nations who have taken part in
the outrage, and it is to England S
everlasting disgrace that her
guns were among the first which
were fired at the Christians
struggling for liberty, conlpell-
ing them to desist in all attack
upon the Turks, the result ot
which might have led up to
freedom for them. The cause of
Cretans appeals to the highest
grounds of humanity. The ores
tan problem is complicated with
religion, and the only cause that
can be offered for the human
butcheries in that unhappy
island is that its people are
Christians and are regarded by
the Turk as his legitimate prey
The Powers know this full we'll
and knowing it as they do, their
conducts all the more reprehen
sible.
The fact is, outside of diplo-
matte circles, the world has be
gun to wonder what there is in
| this Turkish question that Tur~
key is permitted to murder SC
many of Gods people, and nc
effort is made by the great ma
tons Of Europe to stay her hand
Surely there is way to put an
end to the wholesale murders
practiced alike in Armenia and
Crete. If any one of the great
nations of Europe sh ould demand
the necessary reforms in the do
main of the Turk, and compel
their enforcement, even at the
cost OF war, it would not be long
before others would fall into line,
and then the solution of the
troubles would be affected. But,
unfortunately, there is none will
ing to assume such a position.
However, there must be an end
to these astrocities and yet whose
hand will bring it about is a
question.

EXPERIENCED MEN NEEDED.

The retention of a democrat at the Chinese court as the representative of this country through one republican administration and the announcement that he will be kept at his post for some time to come is complimentary to MT. Denby, but it shows, too, the necessity for wide reform in our present diplomatic system.
 MT. Denby has been in China long enough to have become far more use ful than could be expected from any new man. He has learned China and Chinese methods and customs He is acquainted with the diplomatic issues between China, the United States and Europe and has become especially ac- ceptable to the Chinese government. No minister can prove of use to his country until he has reached such a position at the court to which he is accredited. To replace our represen- tatives so often that they virtually re- main strangers to their duties and devoid of influence, is a policy danger ous to our best interests. No other nation of any consequence pursues such a plan The great powers train their diplomats as we train soldinrs, while we oppose to such regulars the rawest of recruits.
 If the civil service rules are valu- able at home and in other branches of government work, as tending to give us merit and experience in pub lie affairs, they are doubly necessar y for our diplomatic arm. True, we do not affect a foreign policy that would mix us with the interminable sch m- ing for added power and territory that actuates other governments, but we have immense interests at stake abroad. We are becoming scattered over the world to such an extent that we are being drawn into the whirl- pool of international complications whether we will or not
 Instead of nearing congress talk of limiting the operations of the civil service law we should rather hear of its proposed extension, at least to in clude our diplomatic corps so that we could always be represented abroad by men of ability and long experi- ence-men capable of holding their own against the veteran representa- tiveS of other countries MT. Denby's case becomes an object lesson.

THEY NEVER LEARN.

The democrats of the national house of representatives have put themselves on record in favor of an indefinite continuation of the fiat money principle. Despite the fact that the use made of the paper money of the United States proved the great est source of embarrassment to their last national administration. eau GUS in which 101 Of their 125 members of the house participated adopted res olutions pledging the party in con gress to oppose the retirement of g1eenbacks and treasury notes and an increase of national bank circulation. By this action the leaders of the democratic party again take up the greenback theory under which they marched to defeat and almost anni- hilation, twenty years or more ago, and now propose to combine it with the free silver proposition under which they suffered defeat in 1896. In doing this they drive still further away from them every business man and business interest and make it ap- parent that in the coming national election every man who voted for Mckinley in 1896 and thousands who unwillingly supported Bryan because he was the candidate of their pa ty will be found hereafter in the ranks of the republican party and support ing its candidate as the only repre- sentative of sound money and sound financial views.
