actly as much in private life. The only
work worth doing is done by those
men, those women, VINO learn not to
shirk difficulties, but to face them
and overcome them, Americanism
means work, means effort, means con-
stant and unendlng strife with our
conditions which is not only the law
of nature If the race is to progress,
but which is really the law of the
highest happiness for ourselves.
You are to have high ideal, just
as high as you can make it, but you
are to strive to realize 1t in practical
fashion. There Is no use of having
a high ideal and only having a heart
in 1t; you must be able to put it into
effect outside; you have to strive
practically and actively to realize it,
and to do that you have got to have
three types or qualities In the first
place, you have got to be honest, you
nave got to have deCency and upright
ness. That is one failing of our life
which l think is specially worthy of
impression; it is the tendency you
sometimes see to deify mere smartness
without reference to any moral quality
behind it. The fact that man who
Is bad man Is also a clever one
merely aggravates the offense. 1t
makes him worse and more dangerous,
In the second place, you must have
courage. l don't care how good a man
is, If he is timid his value Is limited.
The timid boy will not amount to very
much in the world. l want to see
good man ready to smite with the
sword. ! want to see him able to hold
his own in active life against the forces
of evil. / want to see him able to war
effectively for Righteousness. OF all
the things we don't want to see is the
tendency to divide into two camps
on the one side all the nice. pleasant,
refined people, of hign instincts, but not
capacity to do effective work; on the
other hand, men who have not got nice
instincts at all, but who are not afraid.
| When you get that condition you are
preparing immeasurable disaster for
the nation. You have got to combine
| decency and honesty with courage.
| But even that is not enough, for I
don't care how brave, how honest a
man is, if he is a natural born fool, he
cannot be a success. He has to have
the saving grace of common sense. He
has to have the right kind of heart, he
has to be upright and decent, he has
to be brave, and he has to have COM
| =, H.. a.. l.,A-
gence; and if he has these three, then
he has in him the making of first
class American citizen.

POLITICAL NOTES.

What are those Democrats going to do who be-
lieve in expansion? What are the Democrats OF
California going to do who in 1SJS in their
state platform declared that they were 'opposcd
to the surrender OF any Of the territory that has
been acquired by American yalor and the eN'
penditure of the blood and treasure Of our peo'
plc?" What are the Democrats of Colorado go'
ing to do who on sept. 10, 1893, were for ''the
independence of Cuba and the retention by this
government of the other Spanish West Indian
possessions and the control of all other Spanish
territories taken by American forces in the war
just closcd?' What will the Democrats OF Wash'
ington do, who, two days earlier said: while
we do not favor an aggressive policy OF general
territorial expansion we are opposed to the sur
render to Spain Of any Of the territory that has
been acquired by American valor and the cN'
pcndture of the blood Of our peopc?" These
expressions of sentiment helped to make the pub.
lie opinion that required American retention Of
the Philippines. Are these eXpansionists of 1893
going to eat crow in 1000?

Ny daughter is in New York visiting Mrs
Sanger Pullman, and Mr.. Pullman is there

THE LONG ISLAND RAILWAY.
Rumors of Change of Control AnOa:
in Wall Street.

NEW YORK. May 5.-The financial
world has been entertained for several
days past with various stories regarding
the alleged sale of the Long Island Rail
way It was said at one time that the
Standard Oil people had secured control
of the line. and later that the New York
Central people were quietly. but effective
ly buying tn. shares of the line for con-
troll. Yesterday one of the news bureaus
made the statement that it had been in
formed by an authority in which we have
much confidence" that the control OF the
line had passed TO Pennsylvania Railway
interests.
The late # story regarding the sale OF
the railway is received with less confidence
by the financial world generally than it is
by the news bureau in question. Promi-
nent railway authorities assert that the
Pennsy lvania Railway would have no use
for the Long Island and that as Ear as the
probabilities go the New York Central pur-
chase story is much the more plausible.
Long Island stock has been extremely ac-
tive in the market for several days and it
has adva, ced many points in price. 1t sold
as high as 81 yesterday and closed near the
top price few days ago it was selling
below 20. Some skeptical people assert
that it is much more probable that the ac
tivity in the stock has caused the stories
of change of control than that any change
of control has caused the buoyancy of the
stock.

PHILADELPHIA. May 5.-Joseph II.
! Manley of Maine, Chairman of the Ma
tional Republican Sub Executive Commit
tee, which has charge of the June con-
ventlon, arrived in this city yester-
day. Before inspecting the Conven-
tion hall he chatted freely about the
! Vice Presidential question, which he said
is by no means settled yet.
1T IS my candid opinion he continued
that Theodore Roosevelt will not be the
Vice Presidential nominee 1t is also my
candid opinion that the Vice Presidential
question is in an unsettled condition.
Booms for various candidates are going
about the country and | have not met a
man who has been mentioned for the place
who will say that he is not candidate
''Rooseyelt's popularity is unquestionably
national in character. but ! believe he is
absolutely out of the race. He is sturdy
Republican of known quality but the party
has other able men whom it can select
from.
For instance, why, doesn't Pennsylva-
mia get out a candidate? There is Charles
Emory Smith. He is good. safe able, aud
would make a strong candidate. And
there are still other good lnen from whom
TO select Vice President And don't
forget that New England is not eliminated
from the fight. Secretary John d. Long
is a formidable candidate and would add
great strength to the ticket which will
be named here in June. There is plenty of
other good material fer our Vice Presi-
dental candidate but, as | said before, the
unsettled condition OF affairs leaves ample
room for the booms Of the various candi
| dates. This, to my mind shows very
healthy state of affairs
Mr.. Manley was at this paint interrupted
by callers. On his return to the interview
er he talked of the convention which will
be held here next month.

played as is directed toward Philadelphia
