The only piece of national legis-
lation for which the Democratic
party has been responsible, ever
since the election of Abraham Lin
coin, is the Wilson -Gorman tariff
bill, measure despised by its auth

wroug hit ruin to thousands of those
who tried to be its friends.

 ashamed of our guests.
 THE But We live in pessl-
 PESKY mistic age. Small men PESSIMIST. strive to rule the uni
 verse by the audacity of their claims and their boldness of speech. They thunder and we quake; {; they roar and we tremble; they assert and we admit. They tell us our land Is on it's way to the demnition bow VOWS with full head of steam and an incompetent engineer They tell us the grave is the urn for the ashes of hope and we immediately feel the ghouls sharp teeth; they say an era of. truth ds but an irridescent dream, beautiful hope a pagan myth, faith an Illusion phosphoreserce-and We meekly bow the knee to Baal and snap the servLe chains of ignorance on the ankles of progress. What pitiful slavery is the bondage of the brain! We seem to catch the hoarse, ironical chuckle of old Father Time as his palsied fingers tremblingly turn back the yellow leaves of the scroll of ages. that we, of this boasted nineteenth century of enlightenment, may compare ourselves with the times called dark.
 Suppose we throw off the pail of pessimistic gloom that has so long de- pressed us and possess ourselves of little intellectual hospitality. Why sit ike a cock on a gate post growing at fate, when, by the exercise offa little intelligence, little energy and a little exercise of brain ganglia we can carve out destiny more to our liking and our taste?
 The pessimist is the fourteenth cen tury sneering at the nineteenth. He is self satisfaction embalmed, an eclipse OCT the sun of enlightenment. He progress until brushed aside. then skins along in pursuit of the revolving wheels, snapping and snarling in ven omous acrimony like some ill-condi- toned cur.

They are so disagree able you go from them pregnant with the blues and imagine you are getting religion. The disease is horrible be- cause it is slow. Like leprosy it slowly rots the body away, but it don't kill until every one is disgusted.

Secretary Long spent a few weeks prior to the presidential election in
 Colorado, and was in
 FEMALE Denver on election day, SUFFRAGE. where he had opportu-
 nifty to observe women voting. Speaking of his observa tions, Secretary Long said:
 ''I have always been in favor of wo- man suffrage, because I never could understand why citizen who paid taxes and had an equal stake in the government should not also have a voice in choosing officials to administer it. This is one of the eases where I think the doctrine of the consent of the governed comes in. I was, there fore, especially interested in the cleo ton in Colorado. where women vote. election there was no undue excite ment; khe great mass of women, like the great mass of men, were about their ordinary business. There were some women, as lHSfe were d great many men. who were talking politics and acting on committees for securing the registration of voters. On election day l was at the polls at one of the wards where there were more than a thousand votes registered, and where S99 actually voted. Nothing could be more orderly or better conducted. Men and women lined up in the usual fash ion, taking their turn a the ballot box, and after depositing their votes went about their business. A few women and a few men, perhaps more men than women, were active in bringing voters to the polls But there was nothing to jar the most sensitive spectator. On the contrary. it was the exercise in a becoming way and in a fine spirit of the interest which every citizen, man or woman, ought to feel in such an inn portant event as a presidential cleo tion. The tendency is to elevate and broaden, and not to degrade CT i'm pair"

George Sexton, who has charge of two hundred boys in a big department store. loves to talk about boys. Boys are not a necessary evil at this estab- lishment." he said; they are the ma terial out of which men are to be made"
 How do you choose your cash boys, Mir. Sexton?" I asked
 My first question is: Where is t1e boy? You see, it all depends upou the boy himself. You can judge the boy better from his appearance. his man ner. his dress, and the way he comes into an office, than from any descrip- ton of him. Character shows forth in little things-you can't hide it. l take boys by what you might almost term first impressions. I have sized a boy up' before he asks me for place. The removal or removal of the hat on entering the office. the respectful and self respecting way in which q boy a. dresses me, the way in which he meets my look and questions. all give me an idea of his bringing up and the stuff shat is in him. As to appearance. l look at once for these things; polished
  hands and finger nails. Coed clothes are not requisites; a boys clothes may be ragged, his shoes have holes in them. yet his appearance may still give evidence of desire to be neat. 1 will not employ a cigarette smoker if know it. The recommendation which a good boy in our employ gives boy applying for a position always receives marked consideration.
 Good cash boys don't stay cash boys long. Some lads who came here as cash boys in 1897 are now junior sales men. Others have good positions throughout the house.
 "A cash boys first advance is to stock boy, office boy or cadet. A stock boy attends to the boy-wOrk in what ever stock he is in. A cadet is a gen. eral utility boy; an office boy works around some one of the offices of the house. We promote according to merit, length of service, or both com bned. Wherever possible we try to give our oldest employe the preference; but if one hoy who has not been here as long as another shows greater fit ness for a vacancy, in justice to the house and the boy he gets it. A cash boy here gets two dollars an fifty cents week; when he has been here three months, three dollars; or if he has shown marked ability, three dollars and fifty cents.
 '~Ilhe great trouble with the Ameri- can boy is, he doesn't stick. After he has worked hard at one place for six r'onths or year, just as he is in line of promotion, he throws up his pros pects. because some other firm offers fifty cents a week more; and off he starts all over again in q new house, whose ways and business he must learn.
 We like boyish bOys-full of fun. The liveliest are generally the best workers. The boy who lOiters when sent on message, the boy who sneaks around the house avoiding work. and the boy who is always late, are the boys who lcse positions. .'-Succes

Why should the farmer forever bear the cross and the professional nan for ever wear the crown?

Jurists and citizens generally are realizing more and more the need of a
 national divorce law MARRIAGE Certain states, like

 vorce laws, are Meccas for divorcees. and in many other statys fraudulent divorces are easily obtain able. As a whole, our state laws relat- ing to marriage are noteworthy for their dissimllarities and irregularities often in their action putting justice to shame and wronging the innocent.
 The Protestant Episcopal general conference of 1898 appointed commit ice of twelve to consider the subject of marriage and divorce, and this commE- tee will report at the coming confer ence to be held in san Francisco. Three canons on this subject will be place the Episcopal church in the fore front of rlformers along this line. The first defines holy matrimony. The sec ond deals with the sol5mnization of matrimony, and defines the duties of the clergyman. Each marriage shall be duly recorded. must be in the pres ence of witnesses properly idSntified, and the parties must have legal and moral right to marry. The third canon is more radical, and provides that no Episcopal minister can unite in mar rlage any party to a divorce suit, whether guilty or innocent, and ex- cludts from the sacramenlt of the church any divorced person who, hay ins remarried. is living with husband or wife while the other party to the divorce still lives. This canon. how ever. applies only to the guilty party of divorce.
