WHEN IS A MAN coMTORrABLY OFF?

froin une Washington Post.
 Postmaster Wilson of Brooklyn shook his head emphatically when some gentle men in group in the lobby of the Wash ingJon hotel asserted that a man who was worth $i00,G00 in excess of all obliga tions ought to be satisfied with that "a ther mod crate sum and cease trying to accumulate more money. Possibly in Oshkosh or Tupelo,'' quoth the postmaster, smiling, that amount ought to render a man happy, not in New York, my friend. In New York Si0o0 or 5000 per annum is a very inade- quate revenue, and yet in a small village a citizen with that income is looked upon as a man of large means. The environment is everything. Contrasting Brooklyn with Manhattan, though separated only by the width of a river, there is an enormous diff ference in the cost of living, and should say shat the Brookly.te can exist comfort ably for a third less than bhe inhabitant of the big berough.''

SUNRISE IN THE HILLS OF sATsUMA

By Mary McNeil Fenollosa. The day unfolds like a lotus bloom. Pink at Ithe tip and gold at the core, Rising up slowly through waters of gloom That lave nights shore. Down bamboo stalks the sun'beams slide, Darting like glittering elves at play To the thin, arched grass, where criclkets
 hide
 And sing all day. The old crows caw from the camphor
 b0ughs
 They have builded there for thousand
 years; Their nestlings stir in a lluddled drowse To pipe shrill fears. A white fox creeps to his home in the hill; A small gray ape peers up at thesun; Crickets and sunbeans are quafreling still. Day has begun.

ALLEGED MILI7ARISM.

The mournful misgivings of such
York Evening Post and Anaconda STAN
dard respecting the maintenance of an
army sufficient to restore order and pre-
serve peace within the Uni.eu States
and it's insular possessions, are in
dulged in simply for the purpose of pre-
pairing a way for the acceptance by the
people of the wild ~misstatements of the
democratic platform against American
trade expansion and the retention of
land hat has rightfully come into the
possession of this government as the re-
suit of righteous war. Democracy pre-
opposes ignorance. The contentious of
Bryan and his party are all based on mis-
information and are put forth to fur
ther a demagogue campaign. Men who
nave no sound principles to defend must
necessarily resort to falsehood. The cry
of "militarism," which exhausted so
much lung power in the democratic
convention, is wholly without basis of
fact. The democrtic plank on that SUBJ
ject is of no value except as an exhibit
tion of the lying proclivities of the DEM
ocratic party n it's calm reliance upon
i the ignorance of its followers. The In
