sissippi-When we elect 4 man 20 an
office he has two things to do. One is TO
attend to the duties of his Office, and the
other is TO look after his reelection, and
he attends TO the latter so well that he
has no time 10, attend to the duties OF MS
office at ALL Eternal vigilance is the price
OF liberty. and it is the price of anything
else that the public wants that is worth
having. So. when man is elected TO an
office the people cannot afford to go 10
sleep. They must keep awake and stand
behind him with two sticks, sharpened at
the front end. \ government of the
people, for the people and by the people
requires the constant attention OF the
people to see that they get the service
they pay for.
Grover Cleveland-It is a good thing 10
start out in your life work with the idea
firmly in your mind that the world owes
you living. OF course you are not 10
give this the highwayman's meaning, nor
act upon il in highwayman fashion. The
most absurd thing for men or women 10
DO at any time OF life is 10 allow the
least approach to an idea that because
the world owes them 4 living the world
ought to bring it TO them. This is not
the way the world behaves. 1t will pass
by all who wait and Destow on others
who are working and striving the good
things it has in store. 1t owes just such
a living as we can gin by hard work,
by the exercise of all our mental facul-
ties. by scrupulouS adherence to the
rules of honesty and by 4 never failing
obedience TO the dictates of enlightened
conscience.
Philip c. Hanna. United States Consul
at Monterey, MeNico-When a man il
killed in an accident in Mexico the men
in charge of the train are arrested aud
thrown into Jail. There is no action
against the corporation to obtain dam
ages for the victims family. II keeps
us busy interceding in behalf of the un-
fortunate railway men. The Mexican
officials, as rule. are disposed 10 lie
friendly TO the Americans but this is
an old law that must be obeycd. Our
only hope is TO get special treaty, or in
duce the Mexican government to change
the law. There are four big American
railways in my district, and there are
now about six operatives detained pend
ing trial.
Dion Geraldine of Chicago. Builder of
the Chicago Worlds Fair Buildings-r
will never again undertake a job of put
ting UP an exposition if / can get any
thing else TO do. 1t is the most soul
killing and unsatisfactory business on
earth. | would do most anything in
preference. An exposition is always the
occasion for the bringing together of 4
swarm Of boodlerS, political leeche> and
crauks. They hasten TO an exposition
and hover over it like dies over Il mo-
lasses barrel. / want no more of il.
have had enough of that kind of expert
cnce to last one through life. The build
ins of the Worlds Fair at Chicago and
the Omaha exposition is quite sufficient.

Col. Charles DENLY, ex-Minister tn
China-I see that some of the present
leaders of the party talk about prevent
ing the old line Democrats from getting
back into the organization. | would Su--
gest that. in view of the election returns.
they had better direct their efforts to
getting men into the party instead of
keeping them out,

I'LL have long advocated the reading
of novels. for believe they are one Of
the most popular vehicles for conveying
truth. Fifty years ago the church rather
frowned Oh novels and novel reading. but
novels are the same form of expression
as parables The parallels of Christ are
fiction. and there is probably other fiction
in the Billie. such H. the story Of Jonah.
hut the fiction serves to convey great
truths in attractive and impressive form.
