They More Than Average In.

The method Of selecting men for diplo.
matte posts which is in vogue in this
country has received its due share OF
criticism, yet when the test comes Il sp-
pears that the American who is called to
represent his government in foreign
court where there are unusual emergen.
cies to meet does it very well. The Pitts
burg Times, referring to the same 81 b.
ject, says: The American of sufficient
prominence to be a minister or consul is
usually sman trained in the busy and
etfertive school of business experience,
and when he is conf fronted by q crisis
abroad his training, tact and the national
sagacity that American surroundings en-
courage give him pretty good idea Of
how to act. Herbert W. Bowen is the
American representative in Venezuela.
With a revolution disturbing the country,
two hostile fleets at the doors of the CAPT.
tol making demands that ara little short
of war, and the United States party inter
ested to the extent that no move may 60
beyond a well defined line of aggression,
the situation of the American minister is
one of exceeding delicacy. Mr.. Bowen
so far has creditably upheld tho Ameri.
can position at Caracas, assuming charge
not only Of his own country's interests
there, but t'mDcrsrily acting for Great
Britain and Germany. He is not only
holding the situation vel in control, but
there is promise that through his tart-
ful efforts peace may come f.om what
threatened to be war, and that the United
States will emerge from the tangled situ-
alton with the chief honors, as was the
case when a somewhat similar difficulty
was met by the allies in China. The
American diplomat has been taking most
of the honors since the American became
a prominent factor in international poll
tics.

THE death of Mr.. Reed leaves only
three ex-Speakers of the house still living
-Galusha A. Grow, who was welding
the gavel ten years ago, and is a member
of the present House; J. Warren Keifer,
who presided in 1881, and John G. Car
Isle, who served from 1888 to 1889 inclu-
sive. 1t is noteworthy in this connection
that by reason of the retirement Of fSpesk
er Henderson and ex-Speaker Grow, the
next Congress will be the first in many
years in which no man sits who was eveI
Speaker of the House.

IT is retty well settled that Hon. Hem
ry F. Walton, of Philadelphia, will be the
next speaker of the House at Harrisburg,
and in such case no mistake can well be
made. Mr.. Walton was speaker during
the legislative session Of 1895, and his
control of that body was characterised by
marked ability as parliamentarian and
absolute fairness to ali members. He is
a dignified gentleman who quickly gains
and retains the profound respect of the
members of the assembly, with whom he
grows in popularity as the session length
ems. No member Of the next Assembly
will have occasion to regret haveng sup
ported Harry Walton for tie Speaker
ship.

Strikers Desert Fire Company.

Mount Carmel, Pa, Dec. 22.-Pre-
vious to the recent strike the Mount
Carmel Hook and Ladder company was
prospering with a membership Of over
300. 1t installed a $4,000 hook and
ladder truck In its own truck house
and bought pair of valuable horses
which were used in hauling ice and
coal When the strike was inaugural.
Cd several members remained at their
places in the mines and refused to re-
sign frcm the company. When they
could not be Ousted the membership
began to dwindle and a boycott was
placed on the cOmpany's team. Finally
the membership was reduced to eight
and last week they got together, sold
the truck and team, and turned the
hook and ladder truck over to the
borough.

ONE of the most important things to
remember, and one we are most prone to
forget, is that habitual cheerfulness is
better than gold mine so far as contrib
uting to your own comfort and the COM
fort of others about you is concerned,
says the Punx'y Spirit. Worry is not
only self-inflicted torture, but it is al
most a crime. which Injuries your own
health and destroys the happiness Of
your friends. As cheerfulness is con-
tagious, so worry is infectious. What's
the use? 1t happens nine times out OF
ten that the thing you most dread as a
calamity, lift should ever happen, will
prove blessing in disguise. You must
remember that everything that happens
IS the inevitable sequence of something
else, and what happens is. in the long
run, for the best. 1t is foolish TO invite
disaster by suffering all its possible pen
allies befpre the disaster comes, when the
great probabilities are that what you are
most apprehensive about is the thing
you would most desire IL You knew all
things.

Roosevelt the Man.

While the Harrisburg Patriot is well
known as a sialwart snd loyal Democrat
ic paper, its editor is fair enough and
honest enough to praise President Roose-
welt in the following;
However much we may disapprove the
public policies which he represents, there
can be in healthy minds nothing but ad-
miration for Theodore Roosevelt AS a cit
izen and a man. What splendid con-
trast he presents in his sturdy manhood,
tireless activity aud lofty patriotism, TO
his millionaire kinsmau, William
Waldarf Astor, licking Alfred Edwards $
boots aud whining that America is not a
tit place for entleman to live in! II
any better specimen of American man
hood exists than the Santiago rough rider,
the chief magistrate of seventy five mil
lion people, he has not yet come to the
front. The texture of his mind is re-
markable. His mental growth since he
came TO the presidency is phenomenal.
He has risen to every occasion, has never
failed to acquit himself not only with
credit, but with distinction.
In his democratic simplicity, hearty
good humor, broad sympathies, strength
of body and mind, physical and moral
courage, energy, purity OF heart, uncom-
promising Americauism. unswerving
honesty; as much among the high school
boys of Philadelphia as among the grave
seigneurs of the U, ion league; as debon-
air In the swamps of Mississippi as in the
executive mansion, Mr. Roosevelt has
never been found wanting in any quality
that goes to make a man.
We are all proud of this true gentle
man glad to do him honor. The pity OF
it is that the Democratic party, founded
on the eternal principles OF liberty, equal
ity and justice, has not at present such a
leader.
