Faithfulness is the explanation of many a successful career. Opportun- ity, ability and the friendly assistance that may be given alltend to further ones efforts, but the persistent, un- daunted faithfulness to labor in hand, in the very face of opposition and hindrance and obstacles, is that which conquers.

 Fierce Autumn Electrical storm.
 ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Oct. 20.-Dis- patches received from Dansville, Liv- ingston county, state that an electrical storm of unusual severity has occurred in that vicinity. The lightning was a1- most incessant throughout the after noon and evening. Shortly after the passing of the worst of the storm the entire countryside is said to have been illuminated by the glare of fires. Barns and sheds on the Bonner farm filled with grain and beans, barn on the Hampton farm, barn in West Sparta and a church in Sparta were burned to the ground. Fires have been seen in the direction of Sonyea, but nothing has been learned of the damage in that direction. It was the most destructive storm which has visited the vicinity in years, and the damage cannot be esti- mated until further reports are re ceived, although it will run into the thousands. Lightning also caused heavy damage in Steuben county.

Pessimistic Rumors.

On this last day of 1902 it is preferable
to take cheerful view. of the condition of
tho world, rather than to give heed to the
mass of unverifed rumors which the
ruLnor- mongers always take supreme plea
sure in putting forth. ~ fs
II There are, for instance, very pessimistic
rumors afoat which, If they had only a
moderate basis of fact, would disclose
Germany to be the most devilish and
treacherous fntriguer in the world, sur
passing even the Russian masters of the
art of hypocrisy and double-d dealing. We
are expected to believe that the German
government bribed Concha to organize OPP
position to the acceptance by Colombia
Of the canal treaty, and is now doing it's
best to prevent the contamination of the
proposed artificial waterway across the
isthnus OF Panama. We are expected to
accept as fact the story that the German
government deliberately gives aid and
comfort to the revolutionists in Venezuela,
and in the whole matter Of the war move
ment, Jointly with England, against that
state for the forcible collection of certain
debts due to German citizens, the only
motive has been to force our government
ito abandon or modify the Monroe doc
trine.
Granting that there is basis of fact in
these rumors. now without notification,
such a course on the part of Germany
would be useless. II the proof were forth

Strengthening themselves with a view to

that Mr.. Knapp's address before a sec

taking advantage of a forumSathat would
give much publicity and prestige to a
deliverance that throws cold water on the
popular discomfort with the trusts
There is nothing the trusts fear more
than corporate publicity Mr.. Knapp op-
poses such publicity. He maintains that
the stakeholder, as such, would be harmed
rather than helped by corporate publicity.
Precisely. There are some stockholders
that must necessarily be injured in any

be adopted in the interests Of the whole

publicity. We will even concede that
many lesser men who have bought the
stocks of the inflated industrials will be
injured by publicity. But every reform
demands sacrifices. And one of the pri11-
cipal purposes of better regulation of the
trusts is to clip the wings of the menac cling
interests of stockholders in companies
which, deriving their rights and privileges
from the public, dare not show their books
