some Famous "Bu,Isr

An freshman who was very III, when the
physician told him that he must prescribe
an emetie for him, said: Indeed, doctor,
an emetic will never do me any good, for
I have taken several, and could never
keep one OF them upon my stomach"
Doyle and Yelvertou, two eminent
members of the Irish bar, quarreIed one
day so violeatiy that from hard words
they came to hard blows. Doyle, a power
fui man, knocked down YeIverton twice,
vehementiy excisiming, "You scoundreI,
I'll make you behave yourself like a gen.
tiemantn To which Yeiverton, rising,
replied, with equai indignation, "No,
sir, never; defy you. You could not do
It'll"
A merchant, who died suddenly, left in

A village cure, preaching about sudden
deaths, cried: "Thus 1t is with US. We
go to bed well, and get up stone dead,"
An old councillor, M. d'terbaut, writ

he had just bought, added: "rhere Is a

The United States has, in round
numbers, 200, 900 miles of railroad in
operation, or more than two fifths of
the mileage of the world. Germany
is the nearest rival with 1900 miles.
Russia comes next with $4,000 miles,
and France, India, Austria Hungary,
British Isles and Canada follow in or
der. Almost one-third of the total
mileage is government owned, and
the railroads of France will revert to

Carry Your Wealth with You.

The greatest riches-in fact, all the
weslth that is OF real yaiue--inust center
in yourself. You must be rich within,
not outside of yourself; rich in the things
that financial psnics, fiuci usttoDs OF trade.
accidents by flood or fire, dishonesty of
business associates or errors of judge
ment. cannot rob you of. Your greatest
investment must be self-investment-in-
vesrment In health, in courage, In kind
illness, In nobility OF manhood or woman
hood
Whoever you come In contact with
should be conscious OF your wealth; Its
Influence should radiate from every pore;
ii should look cut OF your eyes; il should
exhaie fragrance in your speech; 1t should
manifest itself ia your deeds; II
should shed warmth, light, and comfort
witnin its radius; it should enrich your
whole commuaity. Real riches should be
like the wealth OF the rose, which filings
out i.s beauty and fragrance to every
passer-by. There Is no stinting of its ia
vors, no reserve OF selfishness: ell 1t has, 1t
gives. This Is true wealth. Success.

thorisies think they cannot grant it
while the postoffics department is not
self sustaining. Advocates of the
one-cent rate reply that first class or
letter mail shows large profit for the
government, while all the loss is due
to the low rates on second-class mat
ter, which, they say, is a class dis
elimination in favor of the publishers.
To equalize matters, it is suggested
that the second class privileges be
granted more sparingly. They further
argue that penny postage will so in
crease the number of letters sent that
loss to the government will be mini
mized by the augmented volume of
business.

The subject of Chinese exclusion,
which is before the Senate committee
on immigration, is attracting consid-
cradle attention. Secretary of
State John w. Foster has appeared
before the committee and testified to
the effect that the proposed Mitchell
bill was in violation of our treaty with
China. Mr.. Foster protested against
the treatment which is accorded to
the Chinese by this government, and
dwelt on the futility of trying to build
up trade with China for American
exports while we accorded such seant
courtesy to the nation and even to
Chinese merchants who came to this
country to purchase goods. Minister
WI says that as the matter is in the
hands Of Congress he does not feel at
liberty TO express his views on the
subject with much freedom. He said
there was nothing to fear from
"Chinese INVASION. "China,n he
said, sis experiencing an Industrial

WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 5, 1902
The Spring Election.

The first Monday in March is the
date of the annual municipal election
in Ellsworth, which this year will be
March B. three weeks from next
Monday. At this writing very little
is being said about the matter, though
it is quite possible that some strenuous
thinking is being done. 1t may
be that the public is reserving its
criticisms until after settlement day
next Monday-when the present city
government will give an account of
its stewardship.
A year ago our little municipal cor
poration chose a mayor and five al
dermen, and in effect said to them:
1--WE commit to you the affairs of our
city for year. You can assess us for
as much as, in your Judgment, you
think necessary properly to care for
our schools, our streets, sidewalks and
bridges, our sewers, our lights and
other numerous and necessary wants.
You'll need $4,000 or 100000, and
you can have il.
'sSome Of us are VIGOROUSLY slow
about paying our assessments (taxes] /;
it's fault of ours that ought to be
corrected. Compel us to pay; we
may ''cussn little if you do, but
we've no right to. Besides, if we
don't pay, you'll have to borrow
money till we do, and that's expen-
sive.
'Be economical but not parsimonious.
We don't care so much what you
spend as how you spend tive want
something for our money. If you
buy anything, buy the best; if you
can't get the best with TIE funds at
your disposal, don't buy at all. Wait;
we'd rather You would do that than
buy onehoss material for our two
boss town.
SIN short, use your best judgment.
If at the end of the year your best
Judgment meets with our approval,
We won't hesitate to say so. II it
doesn't, out you go, and we'll try
another ssxtette.
''Some Of Us think You ought not to
be where you are anyhow, because
you are democrats. Others of us
don't care rap what your politics is
so long as you seem to as to serve our
city well. anyhow, the majority of
us put you where you are, and to that
majority You are responsible.
''We shall wait with interest your
report. Wen tell you next election
day whether or not it suits u.s.

It seems to be settled now that be-
fore any final determination is made
as to the route for an interoeeanie ca
nal, there win be thorough investiga-
ton as to the advantages Of both the
routes proposed. The presentation Of
the unanimous report Of the Isthmian
canal commission in favor of the Pam
anna route has undoubtedly produced
an effect, and at the present writing
neither of the routes can be said to
have the advantage of the other, in
spite Of the fact that the Nicaraguan
project showed so much strength in
the House recently. 1t is recognized
that in view of the report Just submit
ted the question viii have to be
gone into again at large, and that a
conclusion in favor of the Niearaguan
route cannot be counted upon with
any certainty.

THE rsrHMIAS CANAL.
Sons OF the Reasons why None Has
Been Built.


Columbus died disappointed man be.
cause be had failed to and a new route to
the Indies. His ships were stopped by he
impassa bic barrier OF continent the ex-
istence OF which he had NOT dreamed OF.
II remained for the adyenturer Balboa,
ma king his way across Darien I'm 1913. to
be the first to look out upou the waters Of
the Pacific ocean and to realize by how
narrow a strip OF land the Atlantic was
separated from the Pacific. From that
time to the present there has been an
ever increasing desire to cut through this
barrier, and thus to connect the waters OF
the two great oceans and to reduce the
sailing distance around the world by
more than one-third of the circumference
OF the globe.
The question Is frequently heard,
"why is the building of the canal not
undertaken by private capital or by the
government"
As to the former, the writer has said
that the Panama issco aud scandal have
been the chief causes in preventing pri-
vste capital from taking up this enter
prise in way energetic enough to insure
its speedy completion.
The reason that the government has
done nothing moro than to make repeated
surveys and reports Is to be found in two
facts: First, In matter of this kind our
government moves only when pressed to
do so by The demands of great majority

The bill introduced in Congress to
make Inauguration day come in the
latter part of April. has met with no
adverse criticism from any part of the

Office of one President over four
