we ought rather to be thankful that
society has found medium 20
perfectly fitted to all the economies
and exigencies.
The happiness that mankind obtains
from the possession Of things material
is within the reach of those who have
abundant means to buy these things.
But how small are all these things
compared TO all the elements that
constitute perfect joy-the joy that is
the supreme goal of every life Money
will not purchase sweet and sunny
disposition, without which everything
else is useless. Money will not
purchase health, that greatest boon.
whose enjoyment makes the poor
peasant sing, and the lack of which
makes hollow mockery OF CLINT and
tinsel in the home of wealth. Money
will not buy a happy home. witt
loving wife and children, in whom is
greater wealth. because greater joy,
than in the riches of the Caesars.
Money will not buy friendships of the
rare and tender nature that prove
strong in all the varying storms Of
life. Money will not pave the way to
popularity, as many mistakenly
believe. Money viii not smooth the
wrinkles of old age or Danish death.
II is, in fact. very feeble servant,
whose powers are sharply circum-
scribed. IL is vastly more potent in
prospect than in possession. The
very wealthy realize this. The late
p. ID. Armour said he was no better off
than the ordinary laborer, except that
he was in a position to help others.
Carnegie says that TO die rich is to
die disgraced, and he is giving away
his wealth in all worthy directions.
The possession of wealth brings
trouble and worry, unrest and danger,
that the poor man knows nothing OF.
The happiest people in this country are
not the richest
A wise Creator has made the most
attributes Of human happiness
the common property Of all, Rich and
poor can enjoy the unparchaseable
gifts Of nature alike. The sun shines
as brightly for the street sweeper as
for the millionaire. Sweet sleep
cannot be bought or sold. The good
appetite belongs rather to the field
Iaborer than to the coupon clipper.
The man best satisfied with his lot Is
he happiest, whatever that lot is, and
IN nine cases out of ten. that man is
not the possessor of great wealth.

/ Dombey senior essayed the best
explanation he could command, but
after all the boy continued mystified
as to the exact nature of the merit OF
money. Older heads have puzzled
over the same question.
whats money!"
To Judge from the wild rush after it,
money is the most desirable thing in
the world. On every hand we see on
more elaborate. but scarcely less
dignifed scale, the same spectacle
that follows the throwing OF coin
among street urchins. The world is 3
wriggling mass of humanity. each
individual seeking to convert unto
himself the greatest possible quantity
of a certain yellow metal.
Why? Robinson Crusoe, cast away
on the desert isle. found that the gold
he had was the most useless of all his
possessions. He could not eat it; he
could not wear it; it would not shelter
him; it would not work for him.
Manitestly, money has no virtue in
itself. 1t is only because money has
come to be a medium by which
exchanges are made that it possesses
value. 1t is merely convenience;
not an essential. 1t is an outgrowth
of human society. As society has
progressed and become complex,
money has grown to be an instrument
of tremendous power and importance,
and without it we should lapse into
barbarism. If | have wheat that do
not want | can sell it for money and
hold that money until something
comes along that | do want, without
any loss to myself, whereas, without
the wheat might spoil before |
had chance to make the exchange.
Inasmueh as all things which man
kind has power to control the value of
can be acquired by parting with a
greater or less amount of money, il is
not strange that mankind bends wit
and energy increasingly in the effort
TO secure it. The buying power of
money is its virtue. Having money, |
one Is able to have other things that
are both necessary and desirable.
Money is, therefore, sought not for its
own sake, but for the sake of the !
-hings it will buy. And it is valuable
for the things it will buy and for those
.hings only.
And what will money buy2 Not
everything, as Mr.. Dombey inviting
y said, but many things-everything
hat we eat, drink and wear houses
% live in; horses to drive; ships TO
sail in; means of transportation and
communication all the material
comforts and Injuries of
lie; skilled medical attendance in
sickness; ornate monuments over last
'esting places; even provision for our
owed ones needs after our death.
t is clear that with the vast increase
n material things which man has
made during recent years money has
made corresponding stride in
Importance. 1t will open more doors
hat yield enjoyment than ever before.
The future will make money more and
more desirable. as man finds other
venues in which to expend it TO his
,ood. For these reasons, it is useless
o lament the growing power of gold.

Vermont is interested in the
Sampson-Schley controversy, not
merely on account of the merits OF
the question itself, but because
it has had the effect of postponing
thus far the recognition that all
agree is due to that gallant
Vermonter, Capt. Clark, commander
of the Oregon. Though honors galore
have been heaped on Dewey and his
subordinates for the victory of Manila,
practically nothing has been done in
the way of advancement for any of the
officers in the equally signal victory OF
Santiago. Immediately after the
battle, fierce dispute arose as to who
won the victory, and it has continued
ever since. The partisans of both
Sampson and Schley would not agree
to the recognition of the other, and the
result has been that neither of them,
nor any officer under them. has
received promotion up to now.
Sampson was the senior officer in
command of the fleet and arranged the
plans for bloekading Santiago harbor
and for the contingency of the Spanish
fleet attempting escape. Unfortunately
for him, on the morning of the battle,
he was called some distance up the
coast and did not arrive on the scene
until the battle was over. During his
absence, Schley was left in command.
The nature of the battle was such,
however, that his honor was almost an
empty one. As the Spanish ships
emerged from the harbor. each ship
commander followed his instinct and
closed in. Schlev did not direct the
battle any more than did all of the
captains. There are grave allegations
to the effect that Schley so manoeuvred
the Brooklyn, which was his flagship,
as to dodge the brunt OF the contest.
The captains unanimously give
Sampson the credit, instead of Schley.
1t is a peculiar affair. but some
settlement should be made whereby |
the gallant ship commanders should |
receive the promotion that all agree
they won.

The Rutland News recently stated
that the number of prison inmates in
Vermont had increased 400 per cent in
twenty years, and asked for an explain
alton Of this startling fact. Once upon
time certain scientist asked his fell
low-scientists to explain why it was
that when live fish was placed in a
pail of water the pail weighed no more
than before. For a long time they
puzzled over it until finally one ofthem
made the experiment and determined
that it really did weigh more by just
the weight Of the fish! So in this case
it is found that the explanation of the
contemporaries shocking discovery is
that formerly large number OF crimi-
mails were held in the county jails who
are now sent to the state institutions.

heart being moved by the appeals OF
the boys father and sister, who
hurried to Washington to plead for the
pardon. The speech produced very
good impression. The Free Press,
ostensibly in the interest OF truthful
history. proceeded TO tear asunder
Mr.. Fosters little story, alleging that
it was largely fiction. IL stated that
the sentence of death was imposed for
the purpose of discipline merely, with
the understanding among the officers
that twas not TO be inflicted. Lincoln's
pardon was granted in accordance
with this understanding, and not
because it was besought by the boys
relatives, who, the Free Press alleges,
did not visit the president until after
ward, if at all. Mr.. Foster, naturally
stirred by this cut from his home
paper, retorts that his authority is the
family tradition and also vermont in
the Civil War written by the Free
Press editor himself. The latter is
forced to admit his error in one
instance, and goes back on his history.
We wonder if Editor Benedict is as
deeply interested in correcting the
records of really unimportant
matter, so as to spoil pleasant little
fiction, as he is in hitting Foster.
Would the Free Press have been to the
trouble if one of its favorite public
men had erred in the particulars that

For some time past bill has been
before the Ocala city council for grant
ing to the Ocala Street and Suburban
Railway Company the right to run its
trains over North Third Street. The
same met with very vigorous protests
from the property holders living along
said street, and a largely signed petit
ton was presented to the mayor urg-
ing him TO veto the measure, which
he did.
Another bill was afterwards intro
duced claiming to have overcome the
objections set forth in Mayor FishePs
veto. The property owners again
urged the mayor to veto it, claiming
that the street is an exceedingly mar
row one and the operating of trains
on it would materially damage the
property on each side of it. The
mayor again vetoed the measure, but
it was passed over his veto last Tues
day night by the requisite two-thirds
vote.
Mr.. II. l.. Anderson, for whose ben
eft the franchise was granted, claims
that the same will result to the mater

tiOns direct to Atlanta.

all produced by the blood. Just as
