In the pupil, a good, broad school
training will fertilize 1t and make 1t
capable of far more beneficial achieve
ments than would otherwise he pos
sible. In considering what constitutes
n successful commercial career we must
look not only at the ability to accumu-
late and hoard money--the acquisltive
talent. Some very wealthy men are
failures so far as their general useful
ness to the community are concerned.
We must measure success by the
equity, intelligence and public spirit
displayed by the man who strives for
il. Here is where the educated man
takes the lead from the sef-made man,
natural abilities being equal. AS the
university circular says:
THE conditions Of success in busi-
ness have greatly changed during the
last fifty years. Markets have widened,
competition has increased, and the
scale of operations has been enlarged.
These changes have raised the standard
of intelligence for success In the busi-
ness world, and education has become
as necessary to the man of affairs as
for the lawyer, clergyman or physician.
The civic and political responsibilities
of the business man were never greater
than they arc today. He has become
an important factor in public affairs.
Many of the questions at issue concern
him most closely, and his opinions have
weight. It is q familiar fact that the
complexion of legislatures and Of con-
gress is steadily changing, voters mani
Testing an increasing inclination to Sc
lect. their lawmakers from among men
of affairs. An adequate education for
business life must recognize these new
responsibilities of business men,"
The business man who belittles edu-
cation as a factor contributory to busi-
ness success belongs to a class of men
who will find it more difficult during
the next genration than they have
found it in the past to keep abreast Of
the times and in the van of CONNER
cial progress.

GENERAL MILES.
From the wilkes-Barre Record.

NNfa eHS 'hh1S-Ddlit iN1SolNs
General Nelson A. Miles is, ostensibly,
the commanding officer of the United
states army. and it might be assumed
that he would be consulted with refer
ence to the movements of troops and at
least act in an advisory capacity concern
ing military operations in Cuba, the Phil
ippines aud Porto Rico. 1t would seem,
however, that he is regarded by the
authorities at Washington as a superflu-
Gus nonentity, and Is as entirely ignored
as If he had no existence. The presi'
dent calls Adjutant General Corbln, AS
sistant Secretary of War Meikeliohn and
other subordinates into consultation
but never the senior major general com.
manding the army. There must be some
thing seriously wrong in military sys-
tenn under which the highest ranking Off
Ger of the army is given no voice whatever
In matters supposed to require military
skill and experience. If General Miles
is an incompetent, or undeservipg of the
confidence and respect of the govern.
ment, then he ought to be removed ana
some other put in his place
The American people have not lost faith
In General Miles. He has not done any
thing to forfeit their confidence or re
spect. The army, too, has faith In him
however much he may be held in con
tempt by the authorities at Washington
The time may come when public senti
ment will demand that the highest rank
ing officer in the army shall be accorded
decent treatment by the military author
tiles at Washington. The way in whicf
General Miles has been treated by tho

country and a reflection on the army

Syracuse Post-Standard.

Rudyard Kipling has sailed from these
shores, having, in the course of Few
months, undergone in America a dan
gerous illness, a terrible bereavement
and q most remarkable experience OF the
high regard of all Americans. A report
er who saw him just before he left says
that Mr.. Kipling has changed, that he
now feels more kindly towards America
and Americans and that he no longer
says harsh things about us. That is not
exactly what America and the Americans
want. What is demanded and expected
of Mr.. Kipling is that he shall continue

SCRANTON, JUNE 16, 1899.

The failure of the Democratic con-
vention at Harrisburg to promote our
fellow townsman. Hon. 2. p. Smith,
is a reflection upon it's judgment; but
there is consolation in the prospect
that while he can remain on the bench
of the Superior court, giving this COM
munity valuable representation there,
the way is now cleared for a con-
certed effort in behalf of Hon. r. w.
Archbalds candidacy before the ap-
preaching Republican convention for
the Supreme court bench, the success
of which would mean local representa-
tion on both of the appellate benches.
