Fortunate indeed was it. that no lives
We're lost when the great American
liner Paris went ashore on the English
coast, Sunday morning. The cause of
the accident was not made clear in the
early reports, and should be thorough
ly investigated. 1t is a coincidence
that it occurred at almost the same
point where the English steamer
Mohegan was wrecked with great loss
of life, 4 few months ago. The Paris,
as the auxiliary cruiser Yale did good
service in the war with Spain, and is
one Of the largest and fastest ocean
liners afloat. All will hope She may be
safely taken from her dangerous posi-
ton.

Such a woman would have to hold
herself in readiness to answer calls for
the care of children by the hour. the
day or the week. and if she was right
~ qualified for such duties she need
never have an idle day. Moreover she
could ask good price for her services
and command it. How many women

There is again a wide field for use
fulness for trained nurses which is still
far from being over-crowded. This
profession is, to be sure, at times
arduous and always eXacting, but in
scarcely any other calling can women
command as high pay, or secure great
er personal freedom. Still here, as
elsewhere. a love of the work is neces-
sary TO success in il. Without good
health. at least a good common school
education and the qualities of patience
ever enter upon the duties of a profess
sional nurse.
There is, Of course a constant de-
mand for men of all work who will
actually work. The trouble always is
to sift such jewels out of the multi
tude who are seeking for soft snaps"
1t is surprising fact that many Of the
young men who are looking for
snaps" appear TO think that be-
nevolent nature specially designed
them for newspaper reporters. If
there is one place in the world that
specially calls for long, hard hours and
unceasing hustle, it is that OF a news
paper reporter and it is an absolute
fact we'll known TO all editors, that of
the young men who apply for such
places about nine out of ten are wholly
untitled TO fill them in a creditable
manner. The man with a nose for
news" the born hustler" who knows
how to meet the great public. and
adapt himself to circumstances is al
ways in demand. We know a Maine
daily now published in one Of our
largest cities that is looking for just
such a man; but as yet without sue
cess.
The world is full Of chances for the
right men and wonderland many of
them much Of the time go unimproyei.

Secretary Longs effort to obtain
more seamen for the navy from the
far West is an interesting experiment
and a promising one, too. The pros
pect of Il first cruise on Farragut's old
flagship Hartford, now fitted for a
training ship. ought to fire the ambi-
ton of many a stalwart Western youth
and give the secretary all of the $50 re-
cruits whom he desires. The navy will
be a great gamer by the incoming of
lads with the superb vigor and agrees
siveness of the Western volunteers
who have won the lions share of the
laurels in the Philippines. 1t is an
error to suppose that good sailors must
necessarily be born and bred close by
the ocean. In the golden age Of our
merchant marine a great many OF the
best New England captains and mates
were farmer boys from far inland, who
had never seen the sea until they came
down to ship for their first voyage
and Dewey himself is a Nermonter.

The father of Nebraska Populism."
Lucien Stebbins, calls Bryan a "polit-

element of his supporters of 1896. The
PopuHsts are turning against him, and
against all the Populist bosses, like
Allen and Marion Butler, who are still

The Archaic Springfield.

The announcement that the National
Guard of this and other states is to be
equipped with the Springfield rifle upon
its reorganization will occasion general
surprise ana much regret. This step
would indicate that the lessons Of the
war with Spain have been lost upon
our military authorities. The utter
uselessness Of the Springfield rifle as a
weapon in modern warfare was
forcibly impressed upon the country
during the war. 1t was all right 4
generation ago. but now, in the forceful
language Of Colonel Roosevelt, it is IAN
archaic weapon" In the battle of San
Juan hill the only volunteer regiment
which participated had To be recalled
from the firing line, because, being

the bulk of our army there have been

advantage because the latter were
armed with rifles far superior to the
Springfield used by the Americans.
