ESTIMATE OF MR.. GLADSTONE
His Was an August Personality, Char
acterined by Greatest of
Courage.

In most of the eulogies of Mr.. Glad
stone there is agreement Oh the main
points, says writer in Harper's Maya
zine Courage first; it is trait OF
character in which Mr.. Gladstone was
never surpassed; it is visible in his
whole career and in every great act
of his life, and in his death, ard the
long suffering which preceded it. His
was an august personality. He had
rot only elevation of character, but
the power of elevating others-not
merely those with whom he came in
contact, but the public life in which
he bore SO great part. The house
of commons, which yielded to him as
to no other. the audiences he addressed,
the nation, the empire he ruled-all
rose with him to higher level. He
had a sustained dignity of character
and conduct in all circumstances. His
nature was a profoundly religious ma
ture and with his religious convictions
mingled a chivalry which was perhaps
rarer still Passion he had-an in
tensity of passion when he was reused
or opposed which burned and cor
sumed what stood in his way. 1t vas
this passionate and emotional quality
which stood him in such stead as an
orator But he was greater than his
oratory. greater than his deeds. 1t is
not what he did. but what he was.
which was felt most deeply and will
be longest remembered. Gladstone the
man, the extraordinary being who, for
more than 60 years, fascinated the
world in which he lived. overmastered
It. compelled other men to do his will
because he was a greater force than
they. because he had qualities they had
not. because he was of other fiber
of other mold. of loftier, broader.
nobler nature than almost any of his
time-that is the Gladstone before
whom the world has bowed II is the
Gladstone whose memory his country
men and ours in all time TO come will
treasure as possession like none
other.

theories but has employed every
means to get at the facts SO as to de-

IHE expense account of candidates
during the last election shows Tn what
extent candidates are bled by the peo
Pile. The total expenses as filed are
$780,. Not all have filed their state
ments. No account is taken here OF
what was spent by friends who of
course are not compelled to make re
ports. Nor of what was spent by
candidates before the campaign omen.
ed. 1t IS fair estimate to put the ex-
pense to candidates and their friends.
OF the last election at $1,000.
This IS an outrage upon the csndi-
dates and disgrace to the people.
The practice of running after candi-
dates for liquid refreshment is one
that should be discontinued. 1t can be
stopped if intelligent men in every
town set out to discourage it. 1t is
the proud boast of a farmer in the
town OF Manitowoc that never i'll his
llfe has be taken drink with a can
dldate, for public Office at the expense
OF the candidate. The farmer alluded
to is not temperance man either.
Why would not this be good prac-
tee for all respectable men through
out the equity to follow? We begin
by robblng the candidates. The sue
cessful ones are victimized throughout
their term of office by churches, raffles
and subscription lists. The people
elect officers apparently to manage
the affairs of the county but they
make them pay tribute while seeking
the position and bulldoze them after
they secure it. This outrage should
receive some check.

ELEPHANT GREAT IN CRIME.
The Animals Intellectual Powers Are
Most Apparent in His Schemes
for Revenge.

Few more impressive condolences
can be mparted than one in which a
Hiudoo describes how be knows his
elephant intends to destroy him. Ii
Is all so seemingly trivial, and yet in
reality of such deadly significance. His
story is so full of details that prove
the mans profound understanding of
what he is talking about that one re-
mains equally amazed at the brute's
power to dissemble and its intended
victims insight into the would-be muir
derer's character. And yet, from the
psychological standpoint, an elephant
never gives any other such indication
of mental power as is exhibited in its
revenge. That patient, watchful, i'm
placabie hatred, often provoked sim
ply because a man is in attendance
upon another animal (for it is the rule
with tuskers TO detest their next
neighbors), speaks more conclusively
of a high intellectual guide than ali
stories, true or false, that have been
ted of their ability. Such concentra-
ton and fxedness of purpose, such
careful, unrelaxed vigilance, such per-
feet and consistent pretense, and
when the time comes, such desperate,
unhesitating energy as homicidal an
finals exhibit, are impossible without
a very cCnsidera BILE, although in this
instance, very irregular, development,
says Outing.
No one can deny that if this creature
is great at all its greatness shows IL
self in its crimes. These have caused
it TO be worshiped in the east, where
irresponsible force, and where an ex-
hibition of those qualities and traits
described fully account for the formu-
la: My lord, the elephant"
