Honesty, Industry and Ability Essential In
Public Lie.

The editor of The Commoner
/ receives frequent inquiries from
Young men who are interested in
public affairs, and who desire to
prepare themselves for public
life. They are anxious to know
what they should study and how
they should fit themselves for
office-holding. There ought to
be no such profession as the
profession of officeholder. In a
country like this, all should un-
derstand the principles of gov
eminent, and should be prepared
to apply those principles to each
new question as it arises, but no
one should expect to be depend
ent upon public office for his
means of livelihood. Political
success may be described as the
conjunction of preparation and
opportunity. When the people
need some one to act for them in
a representative capacity, they
Hook about for a person already
prepared for the work, and
among those prepared they take
the one whom they prefer. 1t is
possible that man may be pre-
pared for public office and the
opportunity not come, but it is
more likely the opportunity will
come when he is not prepared to
take advantage of it.
In politics, as in other business,
there are three characteristics
which are of prime Importance.
The first is OVERWHELMINGLY
will be exposed in politics quicker
than anywhere else, because
everything that the politician
| does is subject to scrutiny and
discussion. No man can succeed
in business without honesty, and
if he lacks this characteristic he
will fail in politics sooner than
anywhere else.
The second essential is indus
try. There is no place in politics
for a lazy man. A man may be
lazy when he is working for him.
self and be forgiven, but if he is
lazy when he works for others
they will find it out and criticise
him. In the long run, man
who spends his time fitting him
self for real service to his country
will secure the confidence OF his
fellow citizens when the loafer is
rejected. When a man is sick,
he wants a physician, and one
who has studied medicine and
understands his profession will
outstrip the physician who is
simply hail-fellow- well-met,
but has not studied his profession.
When man has a lawsuit he
wants lawyer, and the attorney
who knows the statutes and the
decisions and can present them
clearly and forcibly will grow
rich while the lawyer who stands
on the street corner grows poor.
So in politics, while personal ac-
quaintance is valuable, it cannot
take the place of preparation for
the work on hand.
The third important element in
success is ability, and honesty
and industry being equal, the
more able one will win, for as an
employer will prefer an employee
who can accomplish most so the
people will prefer the public SER
want who can with greatest skill
and eloquence defend the right
and guard the welfare of his con-
stituents. There are many other
things that will contribute to a
mans success, such as good hab-
its, but honesty, industry, and
ability are the factors that have
most influence. While the law
is a stepping stone to politics, it

Claus Left Oat.
The white people of Jamaica cele-
brate. Christmas in spirit rather than in
active observance. or course Santa
Claus Is unknown here. for what would
Kris kringle do in his fur raiment and
with his reindeers in IL land where few
indeed of the people know what SNOW
Is and few-- still ever saw it. Outdoor
sport is OUT the question, and even
lawn tennis cannot be substituted for
the skating and tobogganing of the
north. The white people sit or swing
in hammocks under the cool shade of
Ii palm trees and look with curious
interest over the holiday numbers of
English II American magazines. with
their strange pictures of snow scenes,
and read the stories of ChristmaStide
in the land of Kris Kringle and Jack
Frost. After shutdown there are social
gatherings. at which the guests sit out
on the ~verandas. eat ice cream, fan
themselves and while away the even.

Very many of the white people of ia
maica were born in the island and so
know nothing of the Christmas rus.
toms of the north. But there are also
quite n number of Americans and Brit
ishers here, and these try various ways
to get up a semblance of Christmas. but
it is like the crew of n polar expedition
celebrating Fourth of July while ice
bound in the Arctic circle, and their
Christmas is mostly II of reminis-
cence. Still wintering in the tropics is
not without its compensating advan-
taSes. and although Christmas here is
apt to be a pretty lonesome time to
Americans. they are very apt to find
cause for congratulation after the fes-
tive season is over in the fact that they
are safe from the cold. the snow, the
slush and the billiards. of the north.

IN AUSTRIA,
Customs and Legends of the Non
German Population.

fuletide as kept by the non-German
population of Austria is ve"y pictur-
esque. On Christmas day the Poles in
Galicia first attend mass and then sit
down to family supper. The chief dish
on the table contains ~consecrated egg
which the father distributes. After eat
ing. all eyes are closed and all heads
bowed down to the table in the belief
that jacobs ladder is then descending
from heaven to earth and down the
ladder angels are coming to bless the
worshipers and to carry away their
earthly troubles to heaven. Among the
CZechs the legend runs that he who
most strictly fasts on Christmas eve
will see the holy Christ in his dreams
that night. In the evening the real eel
ebration begins. All lights are then
eStinguished in the house; no fire. no
light is visible. The children crowd to.
sether in fear and remain perfectly ST.
lent, as otherwise they know they will
receive none OF the presents brought
by the Christ Child and laid at the en-
trance Of the house. The older fe-
males amuse themselves by throwing
heated lead into water and gatherin.

STEAMER MACY SINKS.
Vessel and Crew Probably Lost on
Lake Erie,

dispatch from Detroit, Mich. yesterday
says: In a furious southwest gale on Lake
Erie Sunday night the steamer Syiva-iUs j.
Macy sprung a leak OF Port Burwell, Ont.
and plunged to the bottom, probably carry
ing her entire crew with her. The barge
Mabel Wilson, which was being towed BY
the Macy, broke away from the steamer
in the darkness and succeeded In sailing up
the lake to Amherstburg. where she ar
rived this afternoon.
The first news of the disaster was re-
ported by Capt J. J. Autterson Of the
steamer Albright, which passed up the
river early this morning. She reported hay
ing passed through five niles OF Wreckage
yesterday thirty miles southwest OF Long
Point, consisting of parts of the cabin. lie
preservers and doors of some vessel.
The cabin WAS painted white, but there
were no distinguishing marks to tell what
vessel 1t was from. The arrival Of the
Wilson, however, leaves no doubt that tie
wreckaGe is from the Macy, the lost
seen Of that steamer was IN that vicinity.
The Macy, with the Wilson in tow, left
Buffalo last Saturday with cargo OF coal.
When half way up Lake Erie the gale was
encountered, and when abreast Of Pert
Burwell the towline Of the barge was
thrown off by the crew of the Macy, leav-
Ing the schooner to shift for herself When
last seen by the crew Of the Wilson the
Macy was laboring heavily In the sea and
was evidently making for shelter.
If the crew had time to leave their ship
before the plunge to the bottom, It Is not
believed that the small beats could have
lived long In the terrible sea running. That
nothing has been heard OF them has con-
WINGED the owners that all are lost.
The Macy was owned by P. J. Ralph &
Co. of Detroit, and was insured for S16,5oO
She IS one of the older type Of wooden
steamers She registered 752 tons. She was
built in 1881.
The only names Of the crew obtainable at
the office of the owners of the Macy are as
follows:
NJ w. Gotham, Richland City, Wis, cap
tain; - Gotham, son OF captain, mate;
F. Gregory, Detroit, first engineer; George
Webb, second engineer; John Nugent. Al
gonna, wheelsman.
AS the personnel OF the crew of the
steamer changes at nearly every port visit
ed, a complete list is not available The
crew of the Macy probably numbers eigh-
teen, as that is the number necessary to
man a ship of her size.
