Happiness is the greatest paradox In
nature. 1t can grow in any soil, live
under any conditions. 1t defies envi-
ronment 1t comes from within. 1t is
the revelation of the depths Of the in
ner life as light and heat proclaim the
sun from which they radiate. Happi-
ness consists not Of having, but of be-
ing; not of possessing, but Of enjoying.
1t is the warm glow of a heart at peace
within itself a martyr at the stake
may have happiness that king OH his
throne might envy. Man Is the creator
Of his own happiness 1t is the aroma
Of life lived in harmony with high
ideals. For what man has he may
be dependent on others; what he Is
rests with him alone. What he obtains
in life is but acquisition; what he at
tains is growth. Happiness Is the souls
Joy in the possession of the intangible.

In one OF his speechc., Mr.. Roosevelt

In one of his speechc-, Mr.. Roosevelt
said: "No law will ever make coward
brave. fool wise, or a weakling strong
All the law can do is to shape things
that no injustice shall be done by one to
another and so that each man shall be
given the chance to show the stuff that
is in him." And yet Mr.. Roosevelt is
the faithful champion of tariff law that
takes money out of the pockets of the
many to replenish the pockets of the
few. He objects to the destruction of
the shelter which the trnsts find in the
tariff and he does not appear to be dis
turbed because under republican adj
ministaation the law is nodded to shape
things so that injustice is cone, to the
benefit of comparatively small number
Of men and to the great disadvantage Of
the masses.

THE REAL EVIL.

The Philadelphia North American
says "While much irritation has been
caused by President Baer's defiant an
nouncpment that he controls the price
OF coal and proposes to advance the
price to dealers 20 S. ton, it should no,
be overlooked that he has rendered a
distinct service to the public. His re-
marks have cleared the atmosphere
Mystery and speculation are at an erd.
The price of coal is arbitrarily fixed by
one group of men, and they admit it.
From this point it ought to be p ssible
to work backward and discover whether
the a hitrary price named by them is or
is not excessive" 1t will be remember
ed, however. that Judge Thayer in his
opinion in the Northern Securities case,
said in effect that the question as to the
reasonab eness OF rates, or prices, was
not the question. 1he evil was in the
power to fix the rates or prices; and so
while some may find entertainment in
working Backward in the effort to
discover whether the arbitrary price
made by the coal barons is or is not ex
cessive, the real benefits are to be OBJ
tanned by those who strike vigo' Gus and
persistent blows in the effort to destroy
tie power held by one man or by Il
coterie of men to arbitrarily fix the price
OF coal or, indeed, the price OF any other
commodity.

A STRANGE COMPLAINT.

A curious petition has been addressed
TO President Koost welt. 1t is bitter
pairt from manufacturers OF agricult-
ural indictments, and it is curious be-
cause it reads so much like trade
union "tirade" or calamity howler's"
speech According to this petition, the
great trusts on which the petitioners
are dependent for materials, are using
these manufacturers as errand boys to
collect trust prices of farmers and turn
over the proceeds to the trusts. They
are able to keep none of the high profits
for themselves. 1t seems, however,
that one farm implement manufacture
jig concern has been able to circumvent
the trusts, and the way in which it has
done so is instructive. 1t has made its
raw materials secure by providing them
for itself.
To that end it has purchased mills
factories, furnaces, etc. But its mana
gers have realized that this would not
be enough Producing plants do not
yield raw material. TO be quite out OF
the reach of trust dictation, you must
get closer to the earth than that. And
90 thought the implement concern which
circumvented the trusts, for it also
bought timber lands and iron mines.
For this reason it is able to boast that it
is no longer dependent upon any trust
for its raw materials. The other agri-
cultural implement manufacturers are
unhappy calamity howlers who know
not how prosperous are these very pros.
porous times. But they have done
wise thing. By appealing to Mr.. Roose-
welt they are certain either to get pros.

WHAT MORGAN WANTS.

The nomination of Grover Cleveland
and his election would exactly suit
Morgan and the rest of the sharks OF
Wall street and it would not be un:
pleasing to the wing of democracy
which has been opposed to what HIS
been the prevailing idea of the national
party for the past eight years. 1t is
very doubtful what the future has in
store for this country. 1t is almost GER
tain that there is season of depression
close at hand. 1t is not likely that
there can be a panic so disastrous as
some which have come in the past. The
country has reached stage wh-re that
would be next to impossible. But the
present age OF specula ion and trust
building must come to an end and what
its result will be it is hard to say. Ifa
democrat werc'in TIE presidential chair
it is pretty likely that there would be Il
big effort to make out that it was all
dependent upon the party in power.
But at any rate there can be nothing
in the proposition to have victory for
tie so.called democratic party which
means nothing. 1t is always disastrous
to close when you win" 1t would GER
tainly be playing into the hands OF the
republicans to have Cleveland again
come to the front. The elements which
have brought the republican party to its
present unenviable position woul
simply entrench themselves ii they
could have Cleveland to manipulate
things Ii there is nothing higher and
brighter than that in store for us we
might as we'll snrrendcr.-Cleveland

COURT PERMITS "PARSIFAL. +"
RULES AGAINST THE WAGNERS
AND IPHOLDS CONRIED.
No bar to the Production Here In the Mere
Notice That the Complete Books
Sold Must Not lie Used for stage
PurpOses-This Ends the Litigation.

In an opinion handed down yesterday in
the United States Circuit Court, Judge La
combe denied the application OF Frau
Cosima and Herr Siegfried Wagner for an
injunction restraining the production Of
"Parsifal' at the Metropolitan Opera House,
and upheld the arguments of ex-Judge
Dittcnhoefer and Bainbridge Colby coun-
sci for Heinrich Conried and the Conried
Opera Company, that such production in
this country in no way infringes upon the
rights of the Wagner heirs.
1t is unlikely that there will be further
litigation over the right to produce the
work, so that with this decision the last
bar to the performance in Dec. "a is re-
moved.
The injunction suit was brought abouS
two months ago by Gilbert Ray Hawes,
attorney for the Wagners. Mr.. Hawes
argued that an opera like -Parsifal. CON
tanning religious symbols and in which
a character representing the Christ ap-
pears needs the magic spell of Bayreuth'
as background for its proper perform
ance. He maintained furthermore. that
on Sept. 10, 1881, Richard Wagner made a
written contract with the publishing firm
of Is. Schotts Sons of AIainz, giving that
firm the exclusive right Of publication for
all countries, of his musical-dramatic
work 'Parsifal:'" the final clause of this
contract stating that the acting right OF
ParsifaI' in regard to the theatres is pre-
served to Herr Richard Wagner, whereas
in regard 10 concerts he formally resigns
it in favor Of the firm of B, Schott's Sons,
For This Wagner received 1000 marks
Later the Wagner family bought back the
concert rights for 5000 marks, and when
The publishing firm sold copies of limited
uuarto edition of "Parsifal," obla a
written agreement from the purchaser OF
each copy not TO use the book for stage
product ion.
Messrs. Colby and Dittenhoefer pointed
out that the magic spell OF BayTeut b
could not be taken into account by the

right of publicat ion. but urged that the
l2no edition printed by that firm in
1902. and sold in this country freely, was

an Internal ional copyright law could obllge
any one in this country to take cognizance
of the hot ice which that edition bore, say
ing: This copy must not be used Tor pro-
duction on the stage
