much of truth in the saying, but
from the various disheartening ex-

quents, we should be inclined to
think that not the divinity, but "the
other fellow" had the most to do
with shaping its ends.

Editor Smith, of the PunXsutaw-
ney Spirit, who has sacrificed him
self upon the public altar to the eX-
tent of four terms in the legislature,
laments the attacks upon members
of that body. If they continue it
will become ga disgrace instead of an
honor to be a member of that body,
and we can expect nothing less than
its degeneracy. Mr.. Smith is evil
IDENTIFY not acquainted with the words
of the poet:
Honor and fame from no condition rise.
Act well your part, there all the honor lies.
Membership in the legislature is
a disgrace only to those who make
it so. They should SO act that it
would not be necessary to speak i'll
of them. The press of the state
would delight in being able to "point
with pride" to the legislature, if the
members of that body would only
act in way that made it possible
to take pride in them. But when
the minority persist to rule and clog
its workings, then what.
Life should be full of earnest work,
our hearts undashed by fortunes rowni
Let perseverance conquer fate
And merit seize the victors crown"
1t is always well to bear in mind
these wise words that are doled out
as balm, even if at times it is equal
to swallowing double dose of COM
pound cathartic pills supplemented
by a goodly dose of ipicac, for life is
a perplexity and a riddle. No one
can understand it, no one can master
it. 1t is high and it is low; it is
great and it is small; it is the great
est thing in the world; it is the poor
est thing in the world; it is of inesti-
mable value, and it is of no value;
it is a bundle of contradictions and a
mass of contrarietieS. No knowledge
can understand it, but the general
judgment of the race upon this mys-
terious thing which we call life is
that it is sad. 1t is not the judg-
ment of the poor and the ignorant
alone, but of the wise, the rich, the
and thes gifted. All
poetry eXhales it;all literature perpe-
tuates it; all history records it; phi
losophy reckons with it; editors can
not escape it, all human hearts feel
it.

Diss solution of Cuban Assembly Not
Classed as a Sensation.
HAVANA, April 5.-The dissolution of
the Cuban military assembly does not
cause any particular comment among Gu
bans or Americans here, such q step hav-
Ing been predicted two weeks ago. The
American military authorities, while
pleased that an objection to the dispersal
of the Cuban army has been removed,
had been preparing to distribute the
So. 600 without the aid of the assembly's
rolls, by causing to be drawn UP dupli-
cate rolls. In this work the provincial
governors were cooperating with the Gu
ban commanders III their provinces In
addition, the war assembly's rolls are be-
Ing verified and corrected by independ-
ent Inquiries, and the task may last an
other month. In spite of this, the dis
tribution of money to the Cuban soldiers
will possibly begin in the vicinity of Ha-
vana within a fortnight The general rules
controlling the distribution are to ex-
clude all men who have enlisted since
July II, 1888, and to exclude former SOL
d1ers now holding government positions
or belonging to the rural guards, first
paying each private and non-commission-
ed officer s10o. Then, If. as expected,
balance remains 500 will be paid to each
officer. If, after this, there is any mon
ey left. 1t will be disposed of as the pres

PROVIDENCE, R. l., April b.-The citi-
nens of Rhode Island ballotted today for
state officers including governor. leu
tenant governor, secretary of state, at

tn general assembly.
There were four state tickets in the
field headed respectively by Elisha Dyer,
Republican candidate for governor;
George w. Greene, Democrat; Thomas F..
Herrick. Socialist Labor, and Joseph A.
Peckham, Prohibition.
The issue involved in the election was
the adoption of the revised constitution,
which failed at last election to gain the
necessary three-fifths of all the votes
cast. but was given a large majority.
The election today resulted in Repub-
made gains in many localities. The en-
tire Republican state ticket was success
full, and the general assembly will be
Republican, though not by as large a
majority as last year.
The Socialist vote is large In the cities
and manufacturing towns.
Eighty districts out of 1O4 in the state
give for governor: Dyer, Republican.
1852; Greene, Democrat. S,sS2: Herrick.
Socialist Labor, 1.247; PeclSham, Prohi-
bition, 1,0i9.
Dyer's probable plurality this year Is

YOUNG DEWEY MODEST.

Receive the Raleigh.
NEW YORK, April 8. = Mayor Van
Wyck added but one name to the list of
100 citizens to receive the returning
United States steamship Raleigh today,
and that was the name Of George Good
win Dewey, the only child Of the ad
miral.
The young man was graduated at
Princeton college in 1896, and is now in
business with Joy, Langdon & Co., dry
goods commission merchants, 10S Worth
street. He is extremely modest, and
when informed by a reporter that his
name had been put ON the list of honor
said:
IT have my own idea of what my ia
ther would like, and If the mayor has
been good enough to select me as one
of the committee to receive the officers
and crew of the Raleigh I will have to
see him and beg off. I'm in business now,
and have no right to figure in any dem
onstration that honors the victors Of the
battle of Manila.
II think 1 ought to keep quiet, as
have done nothing for my country
should, of course, be glad to shake hands
and welcome the men on the Raleigh,
particularly Lieut. William Winder is
my cousin.
1.-The last time I saw my father was
when I accompanied him to the depot,
after he had been put in command of
the Asiatic squadron, and 1 shook hands
with him at the depot. AS the train was
ready to start I grasped his hands again
successful cruise. He replied: %, yes,
George; I think I will. You know I'll be
the first commodore to command the
Asiatic squadron since Perry. There
ought to be something in that Then he
laughed and the train went on Its way"
