Advice tOtne Rich.

At the award of Harvard college hOnors
at Cambridge, Mass, Tuesday of last
week, Hon. George F. Hoar said to the
young men:
Firat-Do not trouble yourself to court
public opinion. People like Independence.
h, The second place-Believe in the strength
of righteousness as powerful political force.
Thjrd-L arm to judge of men in public as
in private by their merits and not by their
defects Eight of he greatest villains in the
world were Presidents, SO the critics said.
FourM-Never think you can gain favor of
people by departing from the arena that be
longs to you as educated men.
FItM-Set yourselves strenuously against
evil, but do not go out of your way to re
form. Remember that faith, hope and char
ity are the three supreme virtues.
All that goes very well until the cam
pagn is about to close.
The convictions of an independent
newspaper, for instance, are tOlerablc so
long as the party is not i'll immediate
peril, but in times of party crisis many
people do not like independence
As political force" 1.-THE strength Of
Righteousness" counts at last practically
nothing against the inertia of ignorance
and the omnipotence of money.
And SO on till we learn that faith, hope,
charity-are the three supreme virtues"
Yet "faith without works." hope with

Hence. man, to "reform either

Long-Distance Blessings,

The Cumberland N"ws compiled from

eleven blessings for which the American
people should be thankful:
The unquestioned endorsement of the gold

Broader markets.
Commercial expansion.
Reciprocal trade.
The open door in China.
The inviolability of public faith.
The independence and authority of the
judiciary.
American credit unimpaired.

The obligations of righteous war and
treaty of peace unrepudiated.

The Real Australian Ballot.
BALTIMORE, Md, NOV. 3, 100.
To the MINING Journal


BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. %, 1900.
To the MINING JOURNAL
Statements have appeared i'll the press
to the effect that there are to be re-
newed efforts made to secure Il change
i'll our election law by the elimination
from the official ballot of all party en-
blems
Whatever may be the motives of some
advocates OF this project there are Il
number of citizens (anUng them all the
members of the Union Reform partv)
who favor the idea.
The end i'll view of the Union Reform
party and of quite Il number of citizens
who still adhere to the old party organi-
cations being the abolition of govern
ment by party and the substitution in its
stead of real government by the people
it follows that such men would favor
the abolition of the party emblems as Il
step i'll the direction they desire.
1t Is, of course, within range of pos
sibility that public sentiment may be
educated up to the point of using ma
chimes i'll voting, but there is no i'm
mediate prospect of their Introduction
III Maryland. The best that can be
hoped for is IL change i'll the law looking
towards the establishment of the:'pure"
Australian ballot, which has no party
names or emblems upon it. The names
OF the candidates for each particular Of
flee are all printed i'll one column, with
the name of the office at its top. This
neceSsltates the voter marking each in
dividuals name for whom he wishes to
vote.
1t Is probable that such a change in
the election law would require different
method of making nominations. In fact,
1t Is possible that primary elections could
be done away with altogether. Each
citizen who desired to do so might be-
come a candidate for any office by secur-
ing signatures tOpetition, as is now done
by the smaller minority parties. Care
of course should be taken to guard
against overriding the candidacy bust
ness, but there is really more fear of it
being over-done by numerous party or
carnations than by individuals Atany
rate, the bosses would be entirely
eliminated and every candidate have an
equal show. WIN. n. Hill, NJ. d.
