A Ministers Story.

From ''The Power of Truth" by William
 George Jordan, Published by Brenta-
 nos.
 Senator Turner of the Alaskan bounda- ry commission said the other day When 1 go to church l am as silent as a rule never to do this. Let me tell you leave. But was not always so. In the little Missouri town of Edna. where I was brought up, I was pretty disor- derly chuchgoer. One Sunday. when l was thirteen. we had a strange minister to preach. I sat with four or five other lads, and we made great deal of noise- The stranger put up with us for long time. Then he looked at us. hate, he said. to reprove any disorderly per son from the pulpit-in fact. make 1t end of the service they told me of the why. Once a young man behaved very badly while I was preaching l spoke to him. and his conduct became worse Again l spoke to him, and again his conduct became worse. Four or fva times I paused to rebuke this young man, and each time he carried on in more heathenish manner than before At the end of the service they tofd me of the mistake I had made. The young mar was a iunatic.' {"

THE PRICE OF VICTORY.
Undaunted Courage to Fight the Battle
 10 the End.

If you are seeking to accomplish any great and serious purpose that your mind and your heart tell you is right you must have the spirit of the reformer You must have the courage to face trial sorrow and disappointment, to meet them sduarely and to move forward un- scathed and undaunted. In the sublmity of your perfect faith in the outcome you can make them as powerless to harm you as a dewdrop falling on the pyra- mids.
 Truth, with time as its ally, always wins In the end. The knowlege of the inappreeiation, the coldness and the n- difference of the world should never make you pesslmistic. They should in- spire you with that large, broad optl- mism that sees that all the opposition of the world can never keep back the tr- umph of truth; that your work Is so great that the petty iealousies, misrepre- sentations and hardships caused by those around you dwindle into nothingness. What cares the messenger of the king for 'his trials and sufferings if he know that he has delivered his message? Large movements, great pians, always take time for development. If you want great things pay the price like a man.
 Any one can plant radishes. It takes courage to plant acorns and to wait for the oaks Learn to look not merely at the clouds, but through them to the sun shining behind them. When things look darkest grasp your weapon flrmer and fight harder. There Is always more pro- gress than you can perceive, and 1t is really only the outcome Of the battle that counts.
 And when 1t is all over and the vic- tory is yours, and the smoke clears away and the smell of powder is dissipated, and you bury the friendships that died because they could not stand the strain, and you nurse back the wounded and faint-hearted who Loyalty stood by you, even when doubting, then the hard years of fighting will seem but a dream. You will stand brave, heartened, strengthened by the struggle, recrea.ed 10 a new bet ter and stronger life by the noble battle nobly waged in noble cause And the price will then seem to you--nothlng.

make the financial skies darker than they have been in vety many years.

 During the next two months the Presi- dent will assume command himself of the republican forces in New York and en- deavor to bring organization out of the chaos which practically exists there at the present time. It will be one of the hardest tasks he has even undertaken. In this work Mayor Low will be power full factor It may be considered certain that he will be the candidate of the fus- ionists to succeed himself at the head of the city government which. in the event of his success, will give him an amount of patronage to be redstributed in 1904 far greater in many ways than will be in the gift of the President himself Mir. Roose- welt will bend the whole power of bis administration to re-elect Mir. Low, and 1t is very certain that the latter will not prove ungrateful when the time comes. At such a patronage banquet, municipal and federal, there ought to be sufficient pie to satisfy and make everyone happy. The political game at Oyster Bay from now on will be decidedly interesting.
 
 Senator Kean Is the closest friend of the President In New Jersey, and will be counted upon to put things In proper order there, so that there will be no doubt about the loyalty of the state to the President. MT. Kean is an adroit manager and spends his millions freely for the party. If Judge Parker is the democratic candi- date, ex-Presldent Cleveland will give Senator Kean al he can attend to in keep ing the republican fences in good order. They are in good shape now.
 sss
 There are men here who predict that before the postoffice prosecutions are over there may be an entire change in the presidential situation, so far as the nom nation goes. They argue that many congressman in different states are in- volved and that 1t will be impossible to keep their names out of the legal and other exposures As a result they assume that the opposition to. or rather the dis satisfaction with. the administration will become so great that harmony can be re- stored only by bringing forward a new man. The friends of the President are serenely confident that the energetic course he is now pursuing will make him infinitely stronger with the people than he has ever been. and that the more scalps of postoffice delinquents he carries at his belt in the campaign. the more certain will be his victory. Revenge. however, Is a factor to be counted with in close contest. such as the next one is expected to be. and it is impossible to foresee what form 1t may assume.
 Mir. Payne's departure from the cabi- net, however, is only a question of very short time. The private pressure for his removal is very great. As to the opinion
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-07-05

of the leading republican and democratic newspapers the whole country knows what that Is. The President would have called for Payne's resignation immediately after his return from the west were it not for the fact that very powerful political man. agers within the party were known to be hostile to such summary action, and with a national campaign ahead, 1t is not good politics to raise up crop of enemies needlessly. especially if by gentler meth ods they can be held in line and the end achieved in the end. There Is no doubt also that Mir. Payne's health is not good, and this will be the ostensible ground on which the change will be made
 
 'I am afraid" said an old son of the Buckeye state, who has held office ever so many years. that the days of Ohio's ascendancy in the republican party, and it's national administrations are over for some time. The death of President Me Kinley was the blow from which the be- ginning of the end of the dynasty must be dated. Even since then the star of the state has been declining. and the "Ohio idea" as 1t Is called Is becoming elim- mated. If MT. Hanna a year or so ago had not put himself aside as a candidate for the presidency the situation might be far different today. but 1t Is no use now to bewa.l lost opportunities. The fact is Ohio is running out of big men, or rather they have run away from her to cities, like New York John Hay is about the last of them. He would make a splendid president. but he does not care about the office apparently. and Is not in the run hing In my opinion he is the greatest secretary of state the party has had. not excepting either Seward or Blaine. The Ohio men will have to take back seats in the future if Roosevelt can accomplish It."
 The question of who will be the can didate for the vice-presidency with Mir. Roosevelt Is not likely to be decided for some time to come. Judge Taft Is more acceptable to the older men among the republican leaders than anyone else who has been named. but it is believed he can not be spared in the Philippines until con- ditions there are more settled.
 The yelled threat of William J. Bryan to bolt in the event that the next national democratic convention does not get down on Its knees and allow him to name the candidate and write the platform. does not alarm the followers of MT. German. They say that no one has voted to make the "twice-defeated'' the autocrat of the party for life. and that If he does not want to submit to the voice of the ma jority he can quit and see how many will stand up with him to be counted Tn the opinion of the German men the Bryanites could not anywhere muster votes enough to carry a single election district in the country. They feel that with an able can-

From the Aeronautical World.
 The subject of aerial navigation is one of never failing interest. particularly at this time, when many engineers agree that the problem is one wnose solution may be expected in the near future AL most all engineers, however, further al gree that the solution will never come along the lines of the dlrigible balloon; that the many interesting experiments with so-called air-ships, which rely upon the gas bag to overcome the attraction of gravitation, while drawing popular in- terest to the subject of air navigation. do nothing toward advancing the time when real air-ships will become a possi- bility

At Chicago.

Chicago July 4.-Santon won the Sheri- dan stakes at Washington Park today by a neck from Flying Ship. Flo Carline was third The event, which Is virtual re- newal of the American derby, and has frequently been won by derby winners, did not draw an attractive field. Santon is owned by Middleton and Jungbluth, who captured the derby purse, and he was ridden by Helgersor, who won the riding honors of the blue ribbon event.
 In the fist race of the afternoon Peter Paul lowered the track record for five furlongs to :59 3-5. Then it rained before the Sheridan stakes was called, the track was sea of mud Fore and Aft was fav- orite for the Sheridan stakes, but he was lost in the going. Santon chased Flying Ship to the stretch and then came on gradually and won. As Santon ran re- cord breaking race In the mud today, his feat was considered unusual Three fav- orites won.
