The yachts should be something more

safe. Should the cup ever cross to the

think as we'll of him now as before his
speech at the Chautauqua? Mr.. Bryan, 1t
cannot be denied, is an able, educated and
experienced orator and lecturer. He knows
the proprieties of an occasion as well as
any one in the country. His admirers. and
il is TO be presumed he still enjoys a few,
must admit one OF two alternatives-viz,
either Mr.. Bryan is unable to make any
but a free-silver speech of the 1896 brand
or he is so narrow-minded and prejudiced
as to deliberately take advantage of a non
twice repudiated campaign fallacies upon
an unsuspecting and Disguised audience.
The points, the arguments. the phrases.
the stories, were all old and taken from
his ancient efforts in the campaign Of 1896.
The only new thing was the title. THE
Conquering Nation" and this was suggest
ed by the success OF the Republican party
in its foreign and domestic policy during
the last few years of Mr.. Bryan's promi-
hence and opposition.
No one went lecturng after C~leveland's

WHAT YOUNG MEN CAN DO.


Kansas City Journal.
Twenty years ago AL Johnson. brother Of
Tom L. johnson, was a horsecar driver in
Louisville. Last week he died in Brooklyn
a millionaire. At the time of his death he
is said TO nave owned a controlling interest
in sixty-six street railways in the smaller
Pennsylvania towns. He was still a young
man, only forty, and might have attained
TO much greater success if he had lived.
His rise in life was due to his own pluck,
determination and industry. He succeeded
because he deserved to succeed. He utilized
all his opportunities. He had the courage
to tackle difficult undertakings and the zeal
and resolution TO carry them through. The
more he accomplished the more he under
took. Probably he undertook too much,
for his death is attributed to an attack
of heart disease brought on by
A very similar case is presented in the
personal history OF hugh MCGOWAN, a Kan
sas City man, we'll known 10 everyone IN
this vicinity. 1t has not been a great many
years since MCGOWAN was a teamster in
the employ of Tom Corrigan. He was a
good man witt a team and attended 10
business. Afterward ne worked for Corri-
gan in the operation of the street railways
or this city. Later he engaged with the
Barber Asphant Company and rose in the
estimation and confidence of that company
until he was made its local manager. a few
years ago he was sent by the Barber peo-
pie to Indianapolis. There he again became
connected with street-railway business, and
has been made manager of the Indianapolis
street railway system. AS agent of the
Elkins interests he has recently negotiated
for similar systems in other cities, and
there is a somewhat persistent rumor that
Kansas City Is to be included In his list
through purchase of the Armour interests
in the Metropolitan Company.
There are numerous other instances of a
like kind in American business life to-
day. In every important line of industry
there are men who nave climbed up TO sue
cess from the bottom. Their capital was
common sense, energy and determination
Not every young man can do as well, but
every young man who has the same kind
of capital can make good progress. Bust
ness success is not the highest aim in life,
perhaps. but many regard il as such and
/. undoubtedly is important. With such
examples as A / Johnson and Hugh Meow
ar before them there is no good reason
why young men who have not the advant-
ages OF education or inherited wealth
should be respondent. The theory promul-
gated by some of the latter-day politicians
that there are no opportunities for young
men these times is false, misleading and
harmful.
