Rich Mems Maxims.

Boston Globe.
AS If to stil further punctuate the
worship of wealth in this country. the
dead multi-milionaire Huntington is
being credited with all manner of wise
and virtuous maxlms, which are assumed
to be the secret of his success.
Yet there have been times in his career
when his whole fortune, with all the
maxims thrown in, might easily have been
wrecked through unforeseen situations in
the stock market, which nothing could
provide for. Other men, armed with just
as potent maxims, have been suddenly
swept into the vortex of financial ruin.
1t is reported of very wealthy and
successful New England banker that he
boosted ION the quiet to young men il.
his confidence whom he wished to assist
that the secret of his success in life had
lain in fidelity TO the following maxim:
DO unto others as you think they
would do unto you if they had the
chance"
1t is more than likely that some of the
very best maxims of the worlds sue
cessful financiers would fare hard if
measured by the leading nlaxims of the

4 QUESTION cor CONSIDERATION.

A noted Prohibition leader sets it
down as a truth that it does not mat
ter whether or not a man drinks whis-
Ky, so long as he votes against saloons.
This is open to some remark A man
may drink whisky, and yet be opposed
TO tile saloon as it is run to-day. He
may drink whisky, and yet be opposed
to the all-night saloon. and to the sa-
loon which sells on Sunday, in violation
OF law. He may even drink whisky, and
yet realize that it would be a good
thing for all saloons to close at mid
n-~s. He may drink whisky and be
convinced that the number of saloons
ought to be restricted, but we cannot
agree with the Prohibitionist that It
does not matter whether a man drinks
or not SO long as he votes right.
- man who drinks whisky is not
necessarily bad man. He is often
church member. He is generally a good
citizen. He is seldom a drunkard. The
drunkards of the present day, and,
thank goodness they are far from being
as numerous as a few years ago, are
generally immature young men. addict
ed to cigarettes, .night-hawk carriages
and high balls, these things being adj
hefed to by the younger generation un-
der the impression that they are see
ing life. Men OF discretion and OF ma
ture years, although they may drink
whisky, are no longer drunkards. The
drunkard went of out fashion some
years ago. Even in England the three
bottle man is no longer de reigure
There has been a distinct improvement
in the drinking habit in the last few
years, and Wheeling is an example Of
the fact. Ten years ago we had quite
number of eminently respectable
drankaTds-men who went on a foot"
once a month and kept it up for two
weeks. 1t would be extremely difficult
to find an example now. They have
reformed. They still drink, perhaps,
but with moderation. Time was when
the streets late at night were scenes
of rlOtous disorder, and whoops and
yells and ribald songs and fights were
regular episodes. That is no longer
the rule. 1t is no longer good form"
to get drunk. 1t isn't good taste 20
even drink much. Drunken men are
seldom seen on the streets. There are
not as many arrests for that offense
as there were twenty years ago although
the population has doubled. A long
stride has been made in the direction
OF sobriety. slow though it has been,
and little attention 1t may have caus-
ed. and the drinking man has brought
1t about himself, without material as
sistance fe,p - ide sources. To use

Chicags News.
Facts are slowly coming to the surface
which present the Chinese affair in new
light and are very much more to the
credit to the Celestials than reports for
the last few weeks. One of these was
shown UP fully in the special cable from
London to The Daily News. William
Cartwright. one of Sir Robert Harris i'm
perial customs commissioners, has re-
Gently returned from China, and in speak
ing to The DAILY News correspondent he
made this remarkable statement:
''The powers committed a stupid and
disastrous blunder when they took steps
that made necessary the seizure of the
Taku forts. The American admiral was
the only commander in the bay who did
not lose his head"
1t will be remembered that Admiral
Kempff, in command at that time Of the
American squadron at Taku, was severely
censured in this country for his seeming
indecision and unreadiness in cooperating
with European commanders. Almost i'm
mediately after the Taku affair he was
superseded by Admiral Remey and the CO.
incidence was too striking and significant
to pass unnoticed.
In continuing Mr.. Cartwright stated
that the demonstration agains the Taku
forts was wholly unnecessary, that the
legation guards had been permitted to
pass through Taku to Pekin, and that
other troops were being landed when the
admirals made the mistake of dispatch
ing an ultimatum 10 the commander of
the fcrts containing both an insult and
a threat and that the latter replied with
his guns.
The results are too recent to need re-
capitulation. The Boxer movement sud
denly received thousands of accessions.
and all China, from the gulf of Pechiii to
Pekin, was thoroughly aroused In con-
Guiding his account of the matter, Mr..
Cartwright added:
but for the extraordinary laundering
of the naval authorities, with the single
exception of the United States admiral,
there would have ben no necessity for
assembling great army In China to save
the foreigners. The American policy
throughout this crisis has been calculated
to allay Chinese apprehension and make
for peace"
Viewed in connection with this state
ment by trained English observer whose
long experience in China entities his opin-
ion to respect, the troubles of the allies
in the Orient are largely of their own
making. 1t is gratifying to know, also,
that Americas policy which has been
dignihed and conservative from the start,
has recently won quite as high praise in
Germany as that accorded 1t by Mr.. Cart
wright in the above interview. This
country has not assumed, as Europe
seemed to do. that the Chinese govern
ment was wholly Enthusiastically, but has
always indicated its readiness to be con-
WINGED of Chinese good faith As a result
it stands higher to-day at Pekin than any
other government and will be able in all
probability, to still further demonstrate
the wisdom of its policy in the present
affair.

a slang phrase, he has simply sawed
off," A judicious restriction of the sa-
loon privilege would doubtless lead on
to better things in this line, and no
doubt the drinking man would be glad
to help. But don't condemn such a
man because he drinks, and don't say,
"Let him drink so long as he votes
right" That is the wrong way to get
at reformation, and above all don't
condemn the drinking man because he
drinks. Condemnation and cri.i-
cism and abuse and fault find
ing generally drives a human being
deeper into the mire. CHEEKY worGs
and a helping hand and encouragement
and sympathy are very much better,
not only as regards drinking, but in
other things as well.

BRAVE GENERAL DE WET.

The news from South Africa is that
the Boer General De Wet, after hav-
ing been chasa1 FOR Il thousand niles

ing his command into small detach-
ments and taking to the hills and
mountains, reunited his forces, turned
suddenly on the English, and infict-
ed a crushing defeat, taking great
many prisoners, one report placing the
number at four thousand.
This is a remarkable episode of a
rather remarkable war, and shows be-
yond all question that the Boer cause
is not yet lost. The republics still have

them is a sufficient force to give the

One fact should be remembered.
When the Oregon went aground in the
Gulf of Pachilli the first ship which
went to her assistance was a Chinese
cruiser. a Russian man of war came
along and made hostile demonstra-
tions toward the Chinese ship, when
the captain of the Oregon signalled
the Russian: Il am somewhat embar-
raised at present but my guns are all
right and have some ammunition
aboard" The hostile demonstration
ceased, and a little later the Chinese
ship hoisted the stars and stripes at
the fore.

Fully 300 bags OF mail are made up
