Times of heroism are generally times
of terror, but the day never shines in
which this element may not work. The
circumstances of man, we say, are his
torically somewhat better in this coun-
try and at this hour than, perhaps,
evera before. More freedom exists for
culture. 1t will not now run against
an axe at the first step out of the
beaten track of opinion. But whose is
heroic will always find crises to try his
edge. Human virtue demands her
champions and martyrs, and the trial
of persecution always proceeds.

1t seems that the Passing OF the
Torpedo" should be by no means pro-
nounced a confirmed fact. The cir
cumstance that SPANS torpedoes failed
to harm our navy really proves very
little; in fact, we may as we'll say that
the modern gun is thing of the past
for all the damage the Dons did us with
that weapon. 1t is merely another
proof of Spanish ineff1ciency in using
it's instruments of war.

Duty's path always opens for us as
we go on-not before we start; but we
obey and move forward Yet we must
not expect that there will never be
any difficulties to meet or obstacles to
surmount. Too easy a path is often
a bane in life, not blessing. The
difficulties and obstacles that remain
may be made stepping stones by which
we shall rise to higher things.

1.-THE grandest thing in having
rights" George Macdonald once said,
sis that, being your rights, you can
give them up" That such generosity
has it's own reward is instanced in
tale of two generals recently retold
at Northfield. During General Sher-
mans campaign in the South he chang
ed certain commanders, and General
Howard was promoted to lead a spe-
cial division. The night before the
grand review in Washington, Sherman
sent for his subordinate and said to
him: Howard, the political friends
of the man you succeeded are bound
corps. and 1 want you to help me out"
ct is my command said Howard.
"and am entitled to ride at its head"
''Of course you are" replied Sherman.
You led them through Georgia and
the Carolinas; but, Howard, you are
a Christian, and can stand the disap-
pointment.' Putting it on that
ground. there is but one answer. Let
him ride at the head of the corps"
Eyes. let him have the honor" added
Sherman, ''but you will report to me at
O'Clock and ride by me at the head of
the whole army" In vain Howard
protested; but Sherman said, gently
but authoritatively, you are under
my ORDERS and so at Sherman's side
he led in the grand review.

Russia having notified England that

indeci9lon, wondering whether he will

cause they say there should be no hesI-

to the course England should pursue

to withdrawal of Great Britain's
claims in the Chinese matter. That

be stated, and no matter what the
result Of Salisbury's deliberations will

T1RE sPOIhS SYSTEM.

According TO the Washington Star,
Assistant Secretary cf the Navy Theo-
doro Roosevelt testified before the
Senatorial Civil Service Investigating
committee yesterday that under the
spoils regime in the navy yards furni-
t,rre designed for certain Ships OF war
cost ten times as much as 1t should.
"A bureau Q1r a monitor was billed to
the Department as costing $500. The
outfit for THAI ship cost $4,000. The ex-
planation was that the mon who made
bhese articles had becn engaged during
a political campaign ana had to be kept
at work somehow, and so they were
turned in on furniture, regardless of
their qualifications for cabinet making
This instance serves as type of the
whols spoils system.
Mr.. Roosevelt instanced the case of
navy yard where nti:cr the installation
OF civil service rules certain clerical
work was accomplished by five men
that had occupied ten previously. These
cases are of record Many more are
available to illustrate the positive gain
OF the Government Ny the pursuit Of
civil service methods. II Is such mat
