Story on Senator Plat.

During a recent session Of the SEN
ate committee on finance the question
of abolishing the revenue tax upon ex-
press money orders came up for dis
cuSsion. The senators were not ia
miliar with the express money order
business, and Senator Platt Of New
York, who, as most people know, is
president of the United States Express
company, offered to enlighten them.
Accordingly, he excused himself for a
moment and went to a neighboring
Office of his company, where he found
o young clerk of whom he demanded
an express order for the sum of 5
cents. The boy WAS astonished at the
smaIlness of the amount.

gentleman outside who says he's the
president of the company, and he
wants an order for cents. I'm afraid

The agent appeared, and Senator
Plat got his order, and in due time

enlightened as to the express money

In every election. from constable to

with a vast excess of candidates.
There are many very good men, who,
for the sake of getting elected to office
will entirely forsake their private af-
fairs, mortgage their property, leave
home for months at time; and then
most of them come back defeated.
Such a system is entirely averse to
any known laws of economy and the
social waste is absolutely beyond esti-
mating. If half the energy, money
and time which has been absolutely
wasted in our State In the vain pursuit
of office, had have been utilized in the

Young Men and the Republic, after

The mastery summing up with which

Young Men and the Republic was
