PHILOSOPHY IN IMMATURE.

Everything comes to him who waits on
himself.
Necessity is the mother Of invention
but it isn't patented.
We forgive all injuries save those In
fiicted upon cur self-love.
A listener will always find a great
friend in the man who likes to talk.
Fortune has an odd way OF coming to
us when we are either asleep or dead.
The men who act do so only at times,
but the men who talk are at II always,
The clerk who watches the clock misses
some Of the good positions that are pass
ing by.
Necessity knows no law; but any law
yer will tell you that Is no obstacle to u
lucrative practice.
Realistic art holds the mirror up to
nature with the idea OF making nature
ashamed OF herself.
All men carry their characters in their
faces, and not a few OF them their repu-
tations in their pockets.
There Is as much difference between a
Versifer and a poet as there is between
a pollywog and a full grown froS.
Some people can hear cries OF distress
as far away as Armenia, but can't hear
them right under their very noses
The knowledge that there are more
ways than one of doing thing Is fire.

months earlier than IL he hao done

II is not n reflection upon any Of the
other naval officers who In this war
were introduced to special opportuni-
ties ANA acquitted themselves well to
point out that the responsibilities en-
cHuntercd and grandly mastered by
Dewey were the most onerous and en-
acting that have ever befallen the lot
Of an American naval commander. His
has been the supreme dity. Let his,
therefore. be the supreme reward. This
advantage presents itself in connection
with tho movement to make Dewey
admiral. Its success will not encoun-

A Temperance Lecture.

Not less striking than the finely bal
anced moral judgment which the pres
ident has shown during his handling
of the Cuban problem has been his
power of physical endurance. 1t is said
by those who have knowledge upon
this subject that since the controversy
with Spain became acute Mr.. McKin-
ley has not averaged four hours Of un-
broken sleeep in twenty-four. In other
words, five-sixths of his time has been
given to mental and physical activity,
most of it under a strain such as few
of our presidents ever experlenced'
yet today. though worn. he is perfectly
we'll and needs only natural rest to re-
store him to a normal condition.
A cabinet officer, speaking upon this
point to the Washington correspondent
of the Philadelphia Times, remarks:
II have seeen the president constantly
all throughout this matter. He has
been in good health, in equitable tenn
per, in perfect equipoise, and in un-
changing mood of confidence. He has
beeen a Christian gentleman all of his
life, never given to revelry or ribaldry.
Therefore, when he was confronted
with conditions requiring perfect
health and perfect mental balance he
was equal to the emergency. If l were
given to moralizing | could deliver a
temperance lecture on this subject"
A lecture is unnecessary. The exam
pie suffices.

strategic manoeuvre ON the outbreak
Of war Is obvious and necessary. The
disposal of her fleet in Asiatic waters
would depend upon Japan. The gov
ernment OF the Mikado Is only too
anxious to cooperate with Great Brit

cerned than England herself. Japan
has some of the largest and fastest
battleships in the world. In the mean

Russia will combine, IL not for the in

sanguinary war in the history OF the

Our history has been distinguished from
the beginning by three great factors:
First, territorial expansion; second. sue
cessful colonization, and third, healthtul
assimilation OF alien peoples. The only
elements of novelty in the case of the
Philippines are that they have come to
us by conquest; that they are separated
by wide expanse of water. and that large
numbers of people are suddenly thrown
upon us. But these facts do not essen
TALLY affect the problem. By our growth
in resources, in numbers, in experience
and ir facilities of communication we are
better prepared today to grapplc with
these new problems than we were to
handle those that grew out OF the Meri-
can conquest or out of the Alaskan pur-
chase. Great problems produce great
Inen. Great opportunities develop great
Iations,

An honorable and characteristic at
titude has been assumed by Governor
Black, of New York, who will not lift
a finger to secure his own renomina-
ton but who submits the matter in
absolute good faith to the people.
Blacks administration has been singu-
larly high-minded, courageous and
successful. If merit ruled as it should
there would be no uncertainty of his
denomination and reelection. Even as
it is we expect to see him given a Sec
ond term.
