The Gospel of Action.

There is a good deal of anxiety Just
now about the new gospel, which
seems TO be summed up in the gen
eral phrase of doing things" The
man who docs things" who can row
boat. run an automobile. conduct
a business, ride a horse, or do any
thing with unusual skill, who has
been something of a traveller, and
understands how to manage men as
well as things, is undoubtedly the
hero Of today.
OF course, there might be a higher
ideal. But there might also be a
lower. We have just emerged from
a period in which the popular wor-
ship was directed TO the man who
got things The man who delights in
action is at any rate a little ahead
Of the man who delights in accumula-
tiOn.
Those who doubt this assertion
about the Idol of the last quarter Of a
century need only look over some of
the literature Of that period. For
twenty-five years 1t has been prac-
tically impossible for a man to be a
successful politician in this country
unless he had money. For about that
period all kinds Of success have been
measured by the cash standard.
There are signs now that the COM
ing man will be considered success
full occasionally, even if he does not
own a town house and a country
house. and give a hundred thousand
dollars a year to charities and schools
not that these things are not all
right in their way, but there are a
good many men who are doing worthy
work, and work which will make the
world better. who will never be money
successes.
If the average man once gets II into
his head that it is his work and the
way he does it which is the important
thing, and not the reward for 1t, we
shall be a step nearer the millennium
and may not have so much scamped
work OF all kinds. On the whole, the
gospel of the man who does things
IS a good gospel

NEVER NEGRO GUEST

Story of the Dining of Black With Thomas Jefferson De-
MED Emphatically by Judge Duke, of Virginia.

AUSTIN. Texas, Aug. S.-Judge +. w.
Duke OF Charlottesville, Va. whose
family was intimately associated with
that Of Thomas Jefferson for genera
tions. has written a letter to a prom
inent Texas Democrat. giving positive
denial of the report that Jefferson had
entertained a negro at his table.
This report originated in biograph-
jeal sketch of a learned negro who had
visited jefferson at his home and was
reiterated last winter by the Hon. Rich
ard BarthoIdt OF Missouri in a dis
cussion OF the race question. Judge
Duke says in part:
THE poor, miserable lie about Mr..
Jefferson entertaining a negro at his
table with Chief Justice Marshall VII
liam Writ and others is so absolutely
absurd that I have hardly thought 1t
necessary 10 pay any attention 10 it,
although copies OF the extracts from
this book have been sent to me by two
or three persons.
II took the pains when the first article
was sent TO me TO confer with Mr.. JEFF
fersons oldest living descendant In this
city, DR. Wilson Carey Nicholas Ran
dciph, Jefferson's great-grandson. and
il you could have heard the burst OF
amused laughter when he read the arti-
Gle it would have settled the matter
with you. as il did with me.
"Dr. Randolph says he has often
heard his father. Mr.. Jefferson's grand
son and his intimate companion for the
last twenty years of his life, speak
about Mr. Jefferson and the negro ques-
don.

Twenty-four pounds Of iron were tied
to one of these preservers, and The
whole business went to the bottom
at once. Another preserver, which
weighed two pounds out of water, alb
sOrbed more than three times It's
weight in water after being immersed
five minutes. AS a result of the re-
inspection the carrying capacity OF
steamboat was reduced from 3.70O to
1850.
If any accident had occurred to this
steamboat while her lessees were ar
rogantly defying the United States
authority, and if her passengers had
relied upon these condemned life pre-
servers to save them from drowning
the loss of life would have been
frightful. Even gooG swimmers
would have been hard put to it tc
save themselves, had they been handi-
capped with a life belt that absorbed
over three times its weight in water
in five minutes.
1t is evident that not only should
the law be changed which permits
private individuals operating an un-
safe excursion steamer to DEFY Gov
ernmenJ authority with impunity, bul
the law should also be revised which
accepts as the proper equipment FOL
passenger vessels anything other thar
solid cork life preservers. -Granu
lated cork loses its buoyancy in pro
portion to the fineness with which il
is ground, cork ground to dust having
practically no buoyancy at all. Ever

the preserver lasts only a compare
lively short time, after which it be
comes water-lOgged and will suppor
very little more than it's own weight
Where the question is one of saw
ing human lives, the best is none too
good; and when it comes to such al
important matter as safeguarding thu
lives of its citizens. the Government
should not be balked by cOnsidera

New York GoVernorship.

1t is charming game of Alphonse
and CASTOR that is being played by
prominent New York Democrats in
connection with the governorship of
that state, which, it is said, Judge
Parker has handed over to Tammany
to bestow wherever it chooses.
Daniel S. Lamont, for instance,
whom Mr.. Cleveland says would make
splendid candidate, declares that
any good man, who should happen to
be the nominee on the Democratic
ticket, will be elected. Then with a
burst of enthusiastic confidence:
THE party is not poor in guber-
material material! 1t possesses dozens
of men big enough and broad enough
and strong enough to defeat any
nominee the Republicans may put
forward. 1 have two such men In
mind. One is Goodyear, another is
Jerome"
Regarding Goodyear. whom Mr.
Cleveland also says would make a
splendid candidate, Mr.. Lamont
speaks with especially inspiring
warmth:
He is the man every faction should
unite on. He is clean, he is able, and
he is popular. The party could not
find a better candidate. l mean that
he represents all that is Democratic
and sincerely trust the leaders will
close their still hunts and center on
him"
But does William Travers Jerome
feel jealous because Daniel S. La
mont praises so heartily the man
from Buffalo who refused to vote fOI
William Jennings Bryan in 1896 and
1900? Not a bit of it. Jerome, too
knows the proprieties, when it comes
to dealing with those who are not
professional gamblers, and one can
readily imagine the sweeping bow
with which he replied when told that
Colonel Lamont had mentioned the
district attorney for governor:
Lamont is a good man. l am fol
/ him because he is a strong and hon.
] est man. 1t would give me pleasur.
to support him. He must not get ou
of the way"
It requires only that Mr.. Goodyear
should come out in spontaneous ap
proval Of Mr. Jerome TO complet,
this Democratic trinity of mutual ad
miration- With Jerome supporting
Lamont. Lamont supporting Good
year. and Goodyear supporting Je
rome, the self-centered circle of Dem
ocratic harmony would be complete
and Tammany, unburdened by EN-
barrassing espionage, would be fre
and untrammeled to pick the maj
most likely to deliver the goods wher
they would most benefit the occu

to all diplomatic officers that they sub

Religious Concordat.
To this and to the support Of the
Tibetan mOnasteries the Manchurlan
dynasty reigning in China largely owes
its continued existence. Between the
Vatican Of Lassa and the Palace OF
Pekin there has existed a kind OF con-
cOrdat. stipulatiug that the clergy should
support the interests OF the dynasty.
while the Chinese Emperor in return
should guarantee TO the theocratic state
of Tibet its territorial integrity and
the maintenance of a monopoly from the
tea revenues. which form the principal
source of the income of the monasteries.
The concordat existed up TO 1880. when
Great Britain annexed Sikkhim, a Hfrna-
iaya state Inhabited by Tibetans-
Tibet considered this as an infringe
ment OF its integrity, and as China did
not effectually restore the former state
OF affairs, considered the secular aili-
ance between the Buddhist priesthood
and The Chinese dynasty as fallen into
allegiance.
From that time began the Dalai
