"THERE is NOTHING IN IT."

From unexpected sources comes Of
tentimes confirmation strong as holy
writ" to the support of a proposition
in morals or ethics. Bob Fitzsimmons.
who has lately climbed from the
prize ring to the lecture platform, in
recent lecture. said: 81 never see
a young man dissipating but 1 feel
like taking him aside and telling him
that he is wasting his strength and
squandering his brain power and stor-
ing up for himself a legacy of disap-
pointment and suffering. 1t is not a
question of morals. 1t is a question
of self-interest. Life is like a spar
ring match. A man needs to be in she
finest possible condition to have any
chance of victory"
Never did the ex-prrizefighter say
a truer thing than the foregoing. 1t
is a fact that "a man needs to be in
the finest possible condition to have
any chance of victory" in the battles
of life. Occasionally the man with
massive intellect and wonderful pow
ers of endurance may carry the handi-
the common run of men it is essen
tial that every faculty should be kept
trained and on the alert. Opportun-
ity knocks once at least at the door
of every man; If he is listening for the
signal and prepared to take advantage
of his chance in life, ne succeeds; If
he is indolent and sleeping, or I'M

Great corporations in this country
are refusing to take in their employ
ment young men who dissipate. With
them, as with Mr.. Fitzsimmons. it is not
a question of sentiment or of morals,
but of plain business. The young man
who accumulates a stock of bad and
health and brain destroying habits has
ent. For a few months or a few years
he may succeed in holding his posi-
ton; ultimate dismissal and failure
in life are sure to come.
Nor are there pleasures in dissipa-
ton at all adequate to repay its at
tendant miseries and sufferings. Some
body has said that happiness, or con-
tentment-which is its earthly equiva-
lent-consists not so much in the pres
ence of pleasure, as in the absence of
pain. Certainly there is a germ of truth
in the statement, and from no one can
the young man obtain such positive ad-
vice as to the inutility and worthless
ness of dissipation as from him who.
in the language of the streets, has
"gone the gaits."
Col. Jack Chinn of Kentucky, who
stopped drinking a few months since,
summed up the whole situation when
he said: "There is nothing in it."

HE CAN AFFORD TO CLOSE HIS
NINE.

A dispatch from Phoenix, Ariz., says
shut down his great copper mine at Je-
rome, near that place, because there
is a difference between him and his
miners as to the number of hours
which shall constitute a days work.
The miners insist upon an eight-hour
day. and 1t is probable that it was
their irMention to inaugurate a strike
If their demand for a day of that
length were not complied with. Proba-
bly, to get ahead of them, and avoid a
strike, he inaugurated a lockout.
The Senator is quoted as saying in
connection with the matter; II would
rather let the grass grow in the streets
of Jerome than grant my men an eight
hour day." The dispatch does not say
why he is so greatly opposed to an
eight-hour day. 1t is probable, how
ever, that he has gone over the situa-
ton carefully and has come to the
conclusion that an eight-hour day
would be exceedingly injurious to the
copper mining interest.
He can afford to shut down his mine.
1t is the understanding that he is
worth about SS0,Oo0.0OO. His mine at

pays. when it is being worked, not less
than 81 200, 900 a month, but as he has
no particular use for the money it is
probable that he is entirely willing that
the copper shall remain in the ground.
A strike or a lockout is a matter of
very little consequence to him.

AN UNDERSTANDING WITH COLON

The fact that three ships of our
navy have been ordered to Colombia
! does not mean that there is an inten-
ton on the part of our government to
| interfere in the affairs of that coun-
try. There is very clear understand
ing between our government and that
of Colombia as to when we shall inter-
fere, should occasion for interference
arise.
on Monday DR.. Silva, the Colombian
minister, had a long interview with
Mr.. Hay. Secretary of State, relative
to affairs in Colombia. and it was
agreed that there should be no inter
ference by our government unless the
Colombian government asked assist
ance, except traffic across the Isthmus
was interfered with and 1t became ap-
parent that the Colombian government
was unable to prevent such interior
ence.
The Colombian minister stated that
up to the present time there had been
no interference with the isthmus traf-
fic. All of his advices indicated that
the Colombian government would be
able to maintain order and enforce the
law throughout the entire route of the
Panama Railroad.
France and Germany have each sent
warships to Colombia. but there is no
reason to think that there is any inten-
ton on the part of either of them to
disregard the Monroe doctrine. Their
purpose is to protect the interests of
their citizens living in Colombia and
Venezuela. In fact. Germany, II is
said, has notified our State Depart
ment that her only purpose in sending
a warship to Colon was to lookout for
the welfare of German citizens there
and in that vicinity.
Germany, France or any other
power has the right to send warships
to Colombia for the purpose stated by
the German government. In fact,
one of the purposes of the United
States in sending three warships to
that country is to protect American in
terests there. 1t is true of course that
there is danger of trouble between Co
lombia and Venezuela of a character
that might bring about complications
between this country and one or more
of the Powers of Europe, but the dan
ger is not so great as TO cause appre-
hensiOn, either in this country or Eu-
rope.
President Castro of Venezuela says
that he does not regard the invasion
of Venezuela's territory by Colombian
revolutionists as having the sanction
of the people of Colombia He pre-
tends to think that the Colombian rev.
olutionists have the support of the Co
lombian Conservatives. whose purpose
is to overthrow the government of
Venezuela. He seems to be confident
that he will be able to take care of all
the Colombian revolutionists who may
have the courage to cross the border
of Venezuela.
Exactly what the trouble is between
Venezuela and Colombia is not very
clear from the statements which have
been appearing in the dispatches. The
stories respecting it that como from
Venezuela and those from Colombia
are radically different. Doubtless it will
be possible to get the exact truth when
our warships reach the ports of Co
lombia.

C'When you're caught with the goods
on you and can't get away with it you
want to stand up with nerve and take
your medicine. You don't want to
know nothing then. No matter under
what circumstances. a man don't want
TO know nothing when he's caught with
the goods on him. BUT YOU DON'T
WANT TO GET CAUGHT. Deputy
Police Commissioner Devery, of New
York;
When they catch you with the goods
on, do not lay aside your nerve,
But remember that a seeming front of
ignorance will serve.
Don't know nothing! Don't say moth
ingl Never give away your pal,
And the chances are he'll clear you
with a plea chimerieal.
But remember that the name of being
nabbed at last is not
Quite so awfully disgraceful as the fact
of being caught.
1t is not the guy that robs us, and with
ease then gets away,
Who is recognized as wicked, but the
one who makes a play
And falls down before ne works it
when he loses all his gall
And gets wobbly in the conscience
OH he will not do at ALI
Just you listen to my murmur. I can
tell you what is what.
And ii isn't what you're doing, but
it's sinful to be caught.
Then remember what 1 tell you, keep
your backbone in your neck;
Never trust the other fellow till you
know you've stacked the deck;
Never turn a hair when captured, nor
be tempted then to squeal
But fall back on Don't do nothing"
and a rich content you'll feel
But remember my contention, that the
best advice I've got
Fer gent that's rather crooked is that
he should not get caught.

William M. Delevay of Pittsfeld.

which is said to guarantee that at
every election where it is used there
will be an honest ballot and fair
count. The possibility of fraud. it is
the machine, which automatically ar
ranges, records and counts each voters
ballot for the candidates of his choice.
The next thing will be to induce the
political machines to put the new vot-
ing machines into use.

is to give park of 200 acres, largely

will begin at once the erection of a

death will be left to the municipality
for use as a public hospital. The man

contain more than $50 acres. He has
announced his intention of devoting
the greater portion of the large for

bearing his name and it's people. His
example is commended to other mil
lionaires who find it difficult to decide
what to do with their money.

THE PISTOL Am THE NEGRO.

Are the colored people in this vicinity
going back to barbarism? Ii looks,
from the manner in which they are
shooting one another. as If they are
losing the civilization they have acauir-
ed. Almost every day there is an ac-
count of a shooting ARRAY of some
kind in the newspapers. In the Morn
ting News yesterday there was an ac-
count of the shooting to death of ne
gro boy by a negro man, and the shoot
ing seems to have been without provo
cation. The crime was committed on
one of the principal streets of the city.
There was also an account in the
same issue of the Morning News of q
fatal shooting at Pooler Three ne
groes attacked another negro. One OF
the attacking party was armed with a
shotgun, another with an AK and a
third with a revolver and butcher knife.
The negro attacked was armed with a
shot gun.
In the same issue of the Morning
News there was an account of the ar
rest of a negro who was accused of
passing a check for $50. which only cali
ed for fifty cents. 1t seems that the
detective was satisfied that with so
much money in his possession, one of
the first things the negro would buy
was pistol. And he was right. The
negro was arrested at the railway de-
pot and a new revolver was found in
his pocket.
1t seems that the desire of the aver
age negro man to own a pistol is so
great that he will spend the first spare
money he gets for such weapon. The
police are well aware OF this. They
know that If negro. who is criminally
inclined. has money. he will spend it
for a pistol. The fact that the law
against carrying concealed weapons is
enforced with considerable severity has
no effect whatever upon him. Aud that
he will use his pistol on very slight
provocation is shown by the number OF
crimes of violence committed by ne
groes. There are so many OF these
crimes as almost to justify the conclu-
sion that there is a large percentage
of the negro population that would not
hesitate to take human life on very
slight provocation. If this is so it
shows a condition of affairs that is
very much TO be deplored.
1t means that the negroes, instead Of
cultivating those qualities which are
found in the better types of men and
women-qualities which indicate that a
race is getting on a higher plane of
civilization-are nursing thoughts and
encouraging feelings which are drag
ging them back towards savagery.
OF course the law can do something
towards checking the practice of carry
ing concealed weapons. but the minis
tiers and other leaders of the colored
race can do a great deal more. BY
holding up the evils that come from
the practice, and pointing out that the
practice is hindrance to advancement.
either morally, Intellectually or materi-
ally they can greatly lessen the evil.

To the disinterested, or rather to the
impartial observer. for no one could be
without interest in the great strike of
the steel workers now in progress,
there seems to be no good reason why
the differences between employers and
employed should not be reconciled and
the strike brought to an end. 1t has
already cost millions of dollars, not
alone to the trust magnates and the
strikers, but to the consumers also,
and it will cost many millions more,
and possibly valuable lives besides, If
ii is continued. Let employers and en-
ployed get together. both imbued with
a real disposition to end the warfare
that is destroying the interests of both,
and it cannot be doubted that meas
ure of compromise can be agreed on
that will put an end to the strike. The
great public has an interest in the mat
ter and that interest should be ex-
pressed by the newspaper press of the
country. H.,

prove the old assertion that these
things rarely come singly. 1t has often
been noticed here that one tragedy will
be closely followed by several others.
