Against Political Ambition.

Senator Depew cautioned the young men
against entering politics for office during
their early practice, and he advised that
they stick to their profession, however
small the compensation at first, for cour-
age and perseverance would finally win and
give them all those things for which they
had striven. After you have become in
dependent" said the speaker, and the peo-
pie want you to accept office, serve them
to the best of your ability" He mentioned
incidents showing the uncertainty of a po-
llcital career in this country, and spoke of
the great upheaval in politics number of
years ago when a large number of defeat
ed congressman came to him as the dispen-
of considerable patronage, and entrea.-
ed him to use his influence to assist them
in getting positions so that they might sup
port their families.
"A lawyer in the community has the OPP
portunity to be at the 'front.' said Senator
Depew. From their education. knowledge
of affairs and knowledge of the law they
are enabled to be the leaders IN their COM
munity. Be at the front, in the church to
which you are attached, young man, and
be attached to some church. Be at the
front in educational matters. Be at the
front in the political party with which you
are affiliated, and be affiliated with some
party-a bad party is better than none at
all; and be at the front in effecting reforms
when you are not there for the purpose Of
securing an office.

Sl.OO PER YEAR,

Commencing with this issue we
have decided to reduce the price
of the Sheaf to $500 per year,
strictly in advance If not paid
in advance the price will be SIPS
per year. Though the Sheaf is
well worth $3.50 per year, when
the amount of work expended
upon adjudication in comparison
with other county papers, is taken
into consideration, yet as other
publishers have reduced their
price, the Sheaf is obliged to do
the same. We now offer the pa.
perfor the coming year at $500 in
advance. But all arrearages must
be settled at the former price,
$3.50 a year. Now is the time to
renew your subscriptions.

THE coal miners and the operators
have great difficulty in adjusting
their differences, and when we see
this we cannot help think Of the in
estimable services President Roose-

the work in the mines not started
when it did, there would have been
still .greater scarcity Of coal, and
consequently still more suffering
