THE AGE OF RETIREMENT.


Within the last few days the news
papers have been fun of comments on
the remarkable vitality of Russell
Sage. the New York financier. He was
81 years old last Tuesday, and he spent
the day at his Office attending to bust
ness.
No doubt there are many old men in
different parts of the country who are
attending to business pretty nearly. If
not quite as well, as they did when
they were 40 years of age-old men who
are now past 20, and in some instances
past 80. Army officers are retired at
81, and applicants for clerkships at the
departments of the government re-
ceive but little consideration If they
have passed 45. 1t seems that the ply
steal condition of man should be the
guide in determining whether he shall
be given employment or not, and not
the fact that he has reached the age
! of 60.
or course Russell Sage is a remark
able man physically as well as intel
lectually. In speaking of him intel
lectually we have reference of course
to his ability to make money. He has
been a hard worker all his life, seldom
taking a day for rest and recreation.
But there are other old men in various
parts of the country who are just as
remarkable as Mr.. Sage is. For in
stance Mr.. Charles Barhydt, who is
president of one of the minor lines of
the Vanderbilt system of railroads. is
SO years old and is as capable appar-
entity Of discharging the duties
which devolve upon him as If he were
younger by half a century. Gen.
Miles has been retired, and yet he rode
ninety miles in one day on horseback
over the rough country of the West
recently and did not seem to be great
] ly fatigued by the effort. 1t is doubt
full il an of the younger officers of the
army could have made such a journey
without being greatly shaken up by it
1t is probable that in every town in
the country there is one or more old
men-men who are beyond so years of
age who are still attending to their
business affairs. There is one In this
city who has passed his S6th year,
whose mind is as clear as a bell and
whose judgment is recognized as excep-
tionally sound on financial matters.
Therefore it is a mistake to deny a.
man employment simply because he
has reached three score years. Men of
that age are often better. oua1f6a5 ,,l.,
sically to render good service than
some Others who are less than forty
years of age.

BRYAN's HOSTILITY TO CLEVE;-
LAND.

Mr.. Bryan doesn't understand HUI
man nature very well or he would
! cease his attacks on Mr.. Cleveland. He
has an idea that Mr.. Cleveland wants
to be nominated for President next
year and that he is using all the
means in his power to bring about that
result It is his purpose to prevent
his nomination. and apparently he
thinks he is doing it by saying that
Mr.. Cleveland is worse than a bunco
steerer
By such abuse of Mr.. Cleveland Mr..
Bryan is wasting his own influence
and making Mr.. Cleveland stronger
with the people. Everybody knows
that the reason of Mr. Bryan's hostil-
ity to Mr.. Cleveland is that the latter
did not give him a hearty support in
his two campaigns. Mr.. Cleveland did
not like the platform on which Mr..
Bryan stood, and did not hesitate to
say so. 1t is probable that his att
tude caused Mr.. Bryan to lose a great
many votes.
One thing that Mr.. Bryan's course
in respect to Mr.. Cleveland is doing is
this: it is making it more difficult for
the two wings of the Democratic party
to get together, and if they do not get
together there is no chance for the
Democratic party TO win in the next
presidential election. Mr.. Bryan there
fore is doing what he can to make it
impossible for the Democrats to be
successful next year.
AS a matter of fact Mr.. Cleveland
has no chance of getting the nomina-
ton. 1t is doubtful if he expects to
get it. AS far as the public knows he
is making no effort to get it. Mr..
Bryan, therefore, is wasting his time
and talents in abusing Mr.. Cleveland
The people know that he isn't influ-
enced in his course towards Mr.. Cleve-
land by a desire to benefit his party
They understand that he is simply
gratifying his feeling of hatred of the
ex-President. Besides, it is not i'm
probable that the applause which Mr.
Cleveland receives whenever he APP
pears on a public occasion fills his
soul with bitterness. The fact that
Mr.. Cleveland is regarded as a bigger
man than he is has the effect of MAX
ing his hatred of him more intense
and fills him with a desire to say bit
ter things about him.
The speech which he delivered at
Urbana, o., on Wednesday, did not,
we venture to say, disturb Mr.. Cleve-
land in the least. AS a matter of fact
Mr.. Cleveland has never thought it
worth while to notice Mr.. Bryan's at
tacks upon him. The fact that he
doesn't apparently arouses Mr.. Bryan
to renewed and more violent efforts.
What a pity it is that Mr., Bryan can
not drop these personal matters and
devote himself to the work of har-
monizing the party!

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Ledger Und) says:
The story, if true, that the Rookie
fellers lost money in the Wall street
slump. forbodes i'll for those who use
kerosene"
The Birmingham Age-Herald (Dem.)
says: THE executive sessions of the
Senate lack the smoke act of TIC COL
lege of cardinals, besides several other
things not necessary to mention"
The Houston CTex) Post (Dem.)
says: "Of course, the present corner
on cotton cannot last forever. but as
long as it does last the consumer of
cotton goods, the employees of cotton
factories. and, for that matter, the pub
lie generally, will suffer in a greater
or lesser degree"
The Washington Post Qnd.) says:
THE Post has no inclination to play
the role of the Democratic Cassandra.
AS we see it, there is no occasion for
the Trojan clairvoyants passionate
complaint, 'Timeo Danaos at dona fe-
rentes.' Our Democratic fellow citi-
zens are not quite fools, and only
fools would be deluded by these poor,
transparent comedies. Indeed, unless
the defeats, the humiliations, and the
disasters of the past twelve years have
hopelessly emasculated the organization
and untitled it for every function of
command or rule or dignity, they will
know without any suggestion from
outside the ranks that an enemy's af-
fectionate anxiety is but call to vigil
lance. They will realize. much more
clearly than any unconcerned observer
can, that the man against whom Re-
publicans and Mugwumps unite in
warning them is the man their adver-
saries most desperately fear Whether
Mr.. German VIII be their best and
strongest candidate is q question they
will have to decide for themselves The
day of judgment is not yet, and many
things may happen IN the interim. But
II must be clear to every Intelligent
observer at this moment that Mr.. Cor
man is the object Of the enemy's most
carking apprehensiOns. And in our
opinion the Democracy will be at no
loss 10 put the proper construction
upon that circumstance"

A CHANCE FOR GEN. WOOD.

II may turn out that Gen Wood will
have an opportunity to show whether
or not he is a great soldier-whether he
Is entitled to the major generalship to
which it is the Presidents purpose to
nominate him. A dispatch from Vic
| toria, B. c., states on the authority of
w C. Deering, a Chicago merchant,
that there will be another insurrection
in the Philippines shortly. This Chi
cago merchant has just returned from
Manila.
The strange thing about 1t is that
our officials in the Philippines have
heard nothing of the proposed insur-
rection. 1t would seem that if there
were anything of that kind afoot Gov
Taft would have heard of it and have
promptly notified the President. Be
sides, there are many correspondents
in the Philippines on the lookout for
news and they would certainly cable
the first intimation of the probability
of an outbreak of the natives.
This Chicago merchant says that
many vessels are now engaged lin
running guns to the island" and that
the natives are being drilled by desert
ers from our army. These deserters
are mostly negroes. 1t seems also that
there are some Germans and other
broken-down officers from Europe who
are teaching the Filipinos how to use
arms to the best advantage.
This is all interesting, If true, but
the question is, is 1t true? 1t hasn't
been so very long since our govern
ment was sending rice and other food
products to the Filipinos to keep them
from starving. 1t would seem there
fore that they haven't much money
with which to buy arms and ammu-
milton.
But assuming there is truth in the
report, an insurrectlon would prove a
costly affair for this country. The in
surrection which we put down when
we took possession of the islands cost
many lives and a large amount of
treasure, and we have got practically
no return. The islands furnish us
very little commerce and the indica-
lions are that it will be many years
before they will be able to maintain the
civil and military establishments.
Just what benefit we are to
get through them in the way
of trade advantages in the
Far East is a matter concerning
which very little is known, but about
which there is a great deal of specula-
ton But, as we have already said,
perhaps if there is an instruction the
opportunity will be presented to Gen.
Wood to show whether or not he is the
great general the President thinks
he is.

How He Measured the Piano.

A sea captain belonging to Sunder-
land had made such an exceptionally
good voyage that his wife felt encour-
aged to ask him to purchase piano
with which to beautify their house and
exasperate their neighbors, says Tit
Bits. He told her he was going to
London. and while there would look at
some instruments, with a view to buy
ing one. This is his description of
the one he thought would suit her:
BLACK walnut hull, strong bulkheads
strengthened fore and aft with iron
frame, lined with white wood and
maple riggings, steel wire double on the
ratlines, and whipped wire on the
tower stays and heavier cordage; be-
laying pins of steel, and well driven
home; length of taffrail over all six
feet and one inch; breadth of beam,
thirty-eight inches; depth of hold,
fourteen inches; matches can be bat
tened down proof against 10-year-old-
boys and ten-ton spankers, or can be
clewed up on occasion, and sheeted
home for a first-class instrumental
