ing of laws is easy, but that good ad- minstration is the beginning and the end of good government. In England he saw that the subjects of Queen Vic- toria had their personal rights protect- ed.
 In 1882 young Steyn returned to his
 native country full of enthusiasm for his profession His old friends had no
 reason to find him spoiled by his life in
 great cities. He returned with pleasure
 to a society where the reputation of
 women was held sacred where religion
 was still real thing, where paupers
 and tramps were unknown. Steyn
 practced six years at the bar of the
 supreme court of his native state; then
 he was made attorney and soon | thereafter raised to the bench, at the
 age of 32. Probably no judiciary in the world commands more completely the
 confidence of those over whom it is
 placed than that of this state. The
 days that MT. Steyn spent in riding over
 the prairies of his native state were the | days in which he formed the friend | ships which resulted in making him
 president. The judge must throw him. self upon the hospitality of the farmers there exactly as would the poorest team ster Judge Steyn travelled in a two- wheeled gig drawn by four mustangs, forded the rivers as best he might, pick ed his way amidst the gullies and wal lows, as they do in our western coun- try made his fires at meal time from cattle-dung, broiled his beef or mutton chops like any ranchman, and let his ponies browse about.
 At night he knocked at the door of a ranchman; the host would shake him by the hand, bid him welcome, present him to his wife, and give him what cheer the hut or house afforded. Per- haps he spent the night in bed per- haps on the floor Steyn never left such house without having made of its inmates friends for life. His calm, strong, dignified and yet sympathetic manner appealed to those whose lives are secluded. He is a great lover of | home, where he is most happy, sur rounded by his wife, his boy, and his | three little girls.
 When Steyn had been three years a judge, the chief justice was about to | resign, hastily. Steyn would have been | his successor as being next in rank. | Here was great temptation for young man. Not merely was the honor great in prospect, but substantial in- 1 crease in his salary He reflected, how ever, that both of his associate judges were his seniors, and took into con first the good of his country. Meantime he worked unself1shly to re- move the cause of friction and the breach was closed Thus by earnest, honest endeavor he rose to the presi- dency of the Orange Free State.-Dan- iel F. Randolph in New York Observer.

The foregoing is o. the first importance

presidential candidate the greatest person.
atty In American citizenship. 1t secures
TO the navy the preservation OF the IL
lustrious admiral To the end of his days.
1t should bring relief to William McK.n-
ley and it ought To bring apprehension TO
William j. Bryan. 1t removes from the
path OF the former very formidable citi-
zen and IL may require the latter to run
again, under circumstances OF more diff
Guilty than those under which he ran be-
fore. IT reduces and it intensities the

possibilities, according as his popularity
be looked at by the people. on the one
hand, and by the politicians on the other.
The statement is a great credit to Adj
miral Dewey. The argument in IL is con-
elusive and ia against hmselfi How clear
it is. How few men could make it at all
against themselves. Fewer still could
make IL so we'll.
The statement is fair to both parties.
1t disembarrasses both. 1t leaves both

is an honorahleness in Il that Is exquisite.
The statement Is as inoffensive "a il IS
explicit. 1t offends neither party. 1T de-
fines neither. II treats them as equal fac
tors. 1t sides with neither. OF this fea :
ture the refinement. the justice. the honor
and the patriotism are complete.
The statement puts fitness before ambi
ton, duty before all things. It's superb
self-poise and self-measurement are
unique. The better thing than the presI-
dency--the deelina;lon OF 1t from sense
OF rght--shines in the letter. like star.
George Dewey measures UP to greatness.

sition in which re can serve his country
without rivalry and without any doubt

of contention, under conditions that would
