A BUILDING THAT is NEEDED.

Have the efforts which were being
made a couple of months or so ago
for subscriptions to a fund for erect
ing building for the Young Mems
Christian Association been abandoned?
Very little is being heard about the
matter now. We are sure that the very
general sentiment is that there is no
cause more deserving assistance.
The Association, from all appear
ances, is in a flourishing condition.
There is no doubt that it is doing a
good work. 1t affords place where
young men can find recreation without
being brought into contact with de-
moralizing influences, and instruction
which tends to make of them good
men and good citizens.
The people have a great many calls
upon their charity and some of them
no doubt give to the limit of their
ability, but there are many men of
large wealth and others of moderate
means who could easily make up the
amount needed to insure the success
of the enterprise without making much
of an inroad upon their incomes. In
deed, there are some reasons for think
ing that if a strong effort were made
the money would be forthcoming in
time to justify the beginning Of a
building during the coming spring.
The Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton of this city has been a flourish
ing institution for a long time. 1t
would have a much larger membership
II it had building in every way suit
able for its purpose. Notwithstand-
ing the disadvantages which IT has
labored under II is a vigorous institu-
ton, and only needs little assistance
to enable it to bring within the sphere
Of its influence much larger number
of young men. There will be no bet
ter time than the present to lend It

DON'T WORRY.

Mr.. carnegie never gave better advice
to men who are seeking promotion than
he did on Tuesday night last in a little
talk to the railroad branch of the
Young Mems Christian Associa ton of
New York city. He was talking to rail-
road men, and, among other things, he
said: '"Fhe best way to judge a man
is by his capacity to laugh Your su-
perintendents and managers are always
gauging you. Don't let your business
worry you. man only does well what
he does easily. If you have a load on
your mind all the time you will never
be promoted The young man who
wants more to do is the one who is
advanced. | never did any work my
self. l did the laughing. The best adj
vice l can give young men is to laugh,
get funny stories-good Stories
There is undoubtedly a great deal of
truth in the foregoing. The man who
has always a weight of care on his
mind will not get on in the world. He
hasn't time to think of his work
that is, to think out ways in which
he can do it to the best advantage and
make it yield the best return. His
time is occupied in worrying about
trifies, or worrying about things that
can be of no benefit to him. A man
in order to do good work-to plan and
accomplish things-must have his mind
free from care.
OF course, it is not necessary that he
should be laughing all the time. That
is not Mr.. Carnegie's meaning. What
he means is that ones mind should be
so free from worry that he can at any
time enjoy good story or take part
in little entertainment without feel
ing that it is an effort to do so be-
cause of business cares. The reason
promotion comes to those who do their
work easily is that they have greater
capacity for work and are always in a
frame of mind to plan so that what
they undertake can be done to the
best advantage. Mr.. Carnegie seems
to be doing as much good with his ad-
vice, drawn from his experience, as he
is with his wealth.

4 LITTLE LIGHT NEEDED.

Representatives of 1.-THE Commercial
Cable Company are in Washington
telling the Senate Naval Affairs Com
mittee that there is no use for the
United States to spend a single cent
in laying cable to Honolulu and
Manila, for the very good reason that
their company is prepared to put down
a cable. in fact. is now putting it
down, and will have it In working or
der within nine months to Honolulu
and within two years to Manila.
They say that they don't want any
money from. the government, and they
don't want any additional legislation
The only thing they ask is that the
government win not lay cable to the
places named.
They appear to be very kind and
obliging, these representatives of the
Commercial Cable Company. What is
their object? Is not a little light
needed? Congress is thinking about
putting down a cable to Honolulu and
Manila at a cost of many millions Of
dollars. and along comes a company
which says it will put down the cable
without a cent of expenses to the
government.
The thing for the Senate Commit
tee on Naval Affairs to do is to inquire
whether the Commercial Cable Com
pany is home or foreign institution,
and what rates it proposes to charge.
In fact, it would be better to have a
very clear understanding with the
company on these points. 1t might
be cheaper to build the line than to
pay the rates the Commercial Cable
Company would charge. Besides, the
company may be foreign one, and if
it had a cable monopoly it might get
our commercial interests in the Far
East in its grasp. 1t will be best to
watch the fellows who ask no favors
and propose to do so much for the
country

AS already stated by the Morning
News Sir Thomas Upton is going to
make a third effort to lift the Amer
icas cup. According to the dispatches
he has contracted with William Fife
of Fairlie on the Clyde for a third
Shamrock. Mr. Fife is to have all the
assistance that Mr. Watson, the de-
signer of Shamrock II, can give him.
1t is well understood, of course, that
better boat than Shamrock II must
be forthcoming. Otherwise there would
be no use to make third attempt to
raise the cup.
Sir Thomas Upton is a very per sist-
ent man. That is evident from his will
lingness to spend the money necessary
for another trial to carry the cup back
to England The cost of the trial will
be several hundred thousand dollars
at least.
The contest will not. of course, take
place this year. Mr.. Fife cannot have
a boat ready in less than a year. 1t is
understood that the new boat will be
HI1lS0tu SOIHe lilllC uuIlI6 Nit opi
of 1903. AS soon as she is finished she
will be sent to this country, so that her
captain may become acquainted with
the winds and currents of the course.
1t is said Mr.. Watson is of the opin-
ion still that the latter boat is in every
respect the equal of the Columbia, and
that she would have won at least two
of the races if her captain had. been
better acquainted with the winds of
the course over which the race was
sailed.
New York yachtmen have made no
plans as yet to meet this new move of
Sir Thomas. There is no doubt. how
ever, that there will be all the activity
in the New York Yacht Club that is
necessary. There is some discussion as
to whether it will be necessary to build
a new boat. There is not much room
for doubt on that point, however. The
opinion is that there will have to be
a new boat. 1t is true that there
is a chance that the COnsti-
tuition will prove to be a wonderful
boat, and may be IS fast as any that
the Herreschoffs can build. That is a
question that is yet to be determined.
Last year she was put aside for the
Columbia, and it is not improbable that
the Herreschoffs have reached the limit
of their ability in the matter of speed
for sailing vessels.
There is plenty of time. however, in
which to decide as to whether or not
a new boat will have to be built. The
New York yacht club viii give the
Constitution a fair trial during the
coming summer. If she can do better
work than she did last summer i'm the
trial races with the Columbia she may
be selected as the defender. new
boat viii be built, no doubt so as to
be in readiness for the contest If il
should turn out that il is thought best
not to make either the Columbia or
the Constitution the cup defender.

When Congress reassembled after the
holiday recess there was an impression
in Washington that it would not be
difficult matter to get it to make
tariff concessions to Cuba. 1t was said
that many of the Republicans who had
been against concessions found that
they were out of touch with their con-
stituents, and that now they were
ready to agree to some sort of recipro-
cal understanding with Cuba by which
the latter could market her sugar and
tobacco in this country at a profit.
A hot fight has been going on with.
in the Republican party, however, and
at present the indications are that no
concessions win be made. At the con-
vention of the New England Tobacco
Growers in Hartford this week, strong
resolutions against reducing the tariff
on tobacco from Cuba were passed,
and the beet and cane sugar interests
are bringing powerful influences to
bear against any reduction of the tariff
on Cuban sugar. Both senators and
representatives are quoted as saying
lhdt IL VIII Dt ilnllCSSlblS W SOA bAlc AN-
duction desired by those who are anx-
ious to help Cuba.
The active part which the sugar trust
is taking in favor of concessions to
Cuba is also complicating matters
somewhat. There is of course a preju-
dice against the sugar trust, and the
disposition seems 10 be to oppose what
ever it wants. IT seems to be admitted
that the trust would be greatly bene-
fitted by a reduction of the tariff on
sugar from Cuba.
But if no concessions were granted
would Cuba ask for annexation? There
is reason for thinking she would,
though she might not ask it until there
had been a great deal of trouble in the
island. 1t is apparent that if Cuba
cannot find market for her sugar-a
market that will yield her profit on
her product-she will soon be in a con-
dition of bankruptcy. Her laboring
population will be without work and
face to face with starvation. 1t will
then be annexation or revolution. The
element that owns the property and
business may have sufficient influence
to bring about annexation, though that
could not be accomplished without a
struggle.
1t is evident that the Cuban prob
lem is not yet solved, and annexation
may be the only solution of it,

Two Indians were at the Capitol yes
terday, seeing the sights. says the
Washington Post. They gazed at the
Senate and the House with immovable
countenances: they were shown all the
pictures without eliciting even so much
as grunt, and even the hight of the
rotunda seemed to fail to impress them
Suddenly however, they discovered
over door leading from the rotunda
to the House of Representatives a mar
BILE group representing white man
fighting with an Indian. The white
man has his gun appraised warding eff
the Ratchet of the Indian, which is
about to fall upon. his head
The moment the Indians saw this
group their apathy disappeared. Here
was something they could understand
and appreciate. They stood for some
time in front of the marble figures
talking earnestly in their deep cultural
tones.
What do they say?" some one asked
the guide who was with them.
They say" was the reply. that the
man with the gun could never save
himself unless he changed his position.
They say that the Indian can very
easily take the white mans scalp"
Which shows that the untutored red
man is a critic from a practical point
of view
