Congressman Hull of Iowa, an ar dent imperialist and chairman of the military committee in the lower house of congress, when talking to q Chica- go Record representative on the 4th, denied, as reported in the Record of the 5th, that he is advocating the re- lection of business interests of his own in the archipelago, but admitted that being at the head of a company organized for the purpose of develop clared that there was absolutely no connection between his position as chairman of the military committee and his private business. Think of chairman of the military committee of congress, is pushing with all his might policy of militarism which has for it's immediate purpose the conquest of distant lands in which he has acquired speculative private interests; yet he says there is no connection between those interests and his official position
 He may be angelic enough to draw fine distinctions between his public duty and his private speculations when they conflict but who believes it? Time was when the discovery of a double relationship like this would have driven the best trusted men in the country out of publf1. life. That

N G. Osborn of tho New Haven Reg ister announces that he has decided to vote for Bryan. The great majority of the gold democrats are going that way-New Britain Herald.
 We have failed to discover where Osborn has said that he will vote for Bryan. He is against Mckinley, he says. It begins to look as if those gold democrat editors are looking for q soft spot in which to lay their heads when they drop back into the. demo- cratic fold. Better make q good job of it and get into the band wagon at once. It will be too late if not attend ed to at once.

THE NEGATIVE MANe

One of the most pitiful sights in the world is the man who never has any opinion of his own, the backbone less man, the man Who never differs from you, whose only opinion is assent to the one you express.
 We instinctively despise the man who never opposes us, who always says, "YeS, yes," to everything we say.
 The negative character is always a wealiling; the world looks upon him as an imitation of a man, not the real article. What the world wants is the positive man, the man who does his own thinking, the man who dares to step out from the crowd and live his own creed. who dares to have and to express his own opinions; this is the man who gains the respect of the com munity.
 The negative man may be a very good, inOffenSive sort of person; he may never do any harm in a neighbor- hood; but, on the other fIand he never does much good. He is never sought out in an emergency, because no one believes he can accomplish anything; he is virtually a nobody.
 A person who is naturally weak or lllliit SIOultl JiIltl dll HIS e1lcESlcS to acquiring self-confidence firmness, de cision, just as one should study to ac- Quire a knowledge of mathematics or science. He should never for a mo- ment give way to the thought that he would not be equal to any emergency He should not refer to or lean upon others, but should do his work or his thinking independently

SliDA of fke TONEuc.

It is an invariable rule that mem- bers of the house of commons must address their remarks to the house through the chair, and, though in the flow of argument an orator is often al- lowed, without remonstrance, to use the second personal plural in admon- ishing his opponents, the first words are always addressed to the occupant of the chair. This, like many other rules of debate, has percolated from the house of commons down to all our minor assemblies, and the consequence is that few members find any difficult ty in complying with the, custom. Not infrequently, however, ruling hab- it's prevail, and new member invol- untarily discloses the nature of the assembly to which he bas been accus- toned. Tn a debate on the Irish land bill in 1894, MT. Kenny. an Irish 0. o., convulsed the house by addressing MT. Speaker as ':My lord" MT. Powell Williams, in the same parliament, saluted him as "Afr. Mayor" and an effervescent Irishman, MT. Bodkin, astonished the speaker by giving him the dignity of Your reverence.''- Gentleman's Magazine. =

HAVE A HIGH IDEAL.

Without q high ideal an individual never climbs. Keep your eyes on the mountain top, and, though you may stumble and fall many times in the ascent. though great boulders, dense forests and roaring torrents may often bar the way, look right on, never los ing sight of the light which shines away up in the clear atmosphere of the mountain peak, and you will ultimately reach your goal.
 When the late Horace Maynard, IL. D.. entered Amherst college, he eX- posed himself to the ridicule and jib- ing questions of his fellow students by placing over the door of his room large square of white cardboard on which was inscribed in bold outlines the single letter "V." Disregarding comment and question, the young man applied himself to his work, ever keep ing in mind the height to which he wished to climb, the first step towards which was signified by the mysterious "V."
 Four years later, after receiving the compliments of professors and stu dents on the way he had acquitted himself as galedictorian of his class, young Maynard called the attention of his fellow graduates to the letter over his door. Then light broke in upon them and they cried out, "Is it possible that you had the valedictory in mind when you put that " over your door?"
 "Assuredly I had" was the emphat- ic reply.

MARRIED THE CELEBRATION.
Return of Volunteers Marked by
Drunkenness and Riot.

London, Oct 3O.-The morning papers
all express the utmost regret for the
reprehensible scenes which as one jour-
nal puts it, threaten to lower the
reputation of England in the eyes of
foreigners and to earn for the British
people unenViable characters of taking
their pleasures brutally rather than
gladly"
Most of the papers throw the chief
blame upon the authorities for their
failure to anticipate what occurred with
sufficient force of police, and above all
for their failure to bring the police upon
the scene early enough. The Standard
says:
1t is m0nstrous that a young girl
cannot see bunting or illuminations un-
less she agrees to submit to the rude
ness of any chance conner. The majority
of the brutality is conspicuous enough
to compromise our reputation as q M
ton of self-control and self-respect."
Others, like the Daily Mail frankly
depreciate the rowdyism and drunken
ness.

CONSOLIDATION SCHEME.
All Southwestern Roads Have a Hand

New York, Oct. 30.-It is learned on ex-
cellent authority that John w. Gates,
who recently purchased controlling in
terest in the securities of the Kansas
City Southern railway, has just sold
such control to a syndicate representing
various connecting roads. The new pur-
chasers include James Stillman, repre-
senting the Rockefeller interests; Cohen,
Loeb & Co., representing the Union Pa
cif1c; E. H. Hartman, representing the
Chicago & Alton, and George Gould, rep-
resenting the Union Pacific. This sale is
regarded as a decidedly important one
In southwestern railway circles. In the
first place it does away with an active
disturbing element in the railway situa-
tion, and in the next place it relieves
the Kansas City Southern Of the old inn
putation of being a road starting no.
where and going nowhere"
BY means of the new control it now
becomes a direct road from Chicago to
the Gulf, and, by means of the Union Pa
cifc, a direct route to the Pacific.
Securities purchased by Mr.. Gates and
by him resold comprise about $6,500,000
in bonds and about $2,5OO,00O in stock.
The deal, it is considered, is only an
other step towards concerted financial
control of the railway world.
