NOT OF THE IDLE RICH.
Sons of Wealthy Americans Who Meet
Responsibilities.

Not all scions of wealthy families
give themselves over to the frivolities
presumed to be the trade mark of the
400"
John Jacob Astor, for instance, spends
most of mis- spare time in studying and
experimenting in electrical science.
With a fortune approximating 100000.
900 he finds no time for idleness. He
has developed a system of marine tur-
bines which old engineers say are des-
tined to be of great practical value;
and while he has taken out patents on
these inventions, he has declared that
all the benefits of his discovery are to
be freely given to the world.
Cornelius Vanderbilt insisted upon
learning the trade of locomotive build
ing by working in the shops of the Van
derbiH railroads. He has invented
fire box which is said to have practical
~ revolutionized the freight locomotive,
and now this is being used on a number
OF the principal railroads of the cOun-
try.
]. Pierpont Morgan's only son. who
is named after him. worked for several
years as clerk in the different depart
ments of the great Morgan banking
house before he was taken into his
fathers office to learn the elements of
higher finance. He is a serious and
hard working business man, and is now
the practical head of the London house.
George Gould is looked upon as one
of the best business men in America.
He was given absolute control of the
Gould fortune upon his fathers death,
and has doubled 1T. He is in every
sense a man of affairs, and he takes no
more time for loafing than his father
did Howard Gould is, like his elder
brother. a serious business man not
given to frivolity.
Peter Cooper Hewitt inherited for
tune from his father, Abram s. Hewitt
but he has devoted himself to the
study of electrical science with mag
nificent results. His Cooper Hewitt
mercury vapor lamp is not only
practical but a commercial success. He
is devoting himself now to the prob
lens of electrical power transmission
and to wireless telegraphy.
John d. Rockefeller, jr.. Harry Payne
Whitney, John d. Spreckles, Clarence
Mackay. George Croker, Jonn r.
Drexel and James H. Hyde are cited as
other illustrations of the way the sons
of very rich Americans are fully meet
ing the responsibilities placed upon
them. Each in his particular sphere
has demonstrated that he is fully cap
able of holding his own place in the
lists of captains of industry
Such men are good citizens. Their
careers put to shame the many
feather-brained and pinheaded sons of
noveau richie fathers who seem to think
that idleness and frivoIity are synony-
nous with gentility.-American Consti-

snowbaIling Among Roses.

Although California is the land of
flowers to which spowballing, except
in the mountains, generally is forbid
den, exceptions to the rule may be
compelled Such an exception, dur
ing the past winter, or rainy season,
was witnessed in San Jose. One of
the stage drivers to and from Mount
Hamilton brought from there barrel
carefully packed with snow, and pre-
scented it to the pupils of the Grant
school in the garden city. Then the
not seen snow before except on the
distant mountain SUBMITS. They
wanted to SNOWFALL, but they didn't
know how, and they approached the
the browning absurdity of the situa-
ton-some of their teachers didn't
know how to teach them; although
they were adults, never before had
they come in contact with snow.
Some of the little chaps, after eau
tiOus investigation, declared that the
strange white stuff burned their fling
erS. it was so cold, and others, who
had read or been told about it, feared
that their hands would be frozen by
the first contact with it. The expert
mental stage was soon past, however,
and then the fun was fast and fu-
riouS. 1t was such ecstacy as eastern
children know, with the zest of nov
city added to it. For a brief time
school traditions and the proprietieS
were thrown to the Winds and there
was none so high or so low that a
SNOWFALL might not batter him when
least expected. The white missiles
whizzed through bushes laden with
roses or clipped the stately Gala lilies
from their stems as a knife might
have done. 1t was a touch of winter
introduced into a garden of bloom
and beauty, and, ah. but the boys,
big and little, enjoyed it. For all of
which some sort of reverence might
be done to the Mount Hamilton stage
driver-he has not forgotten that he
was once a boy.-The Sunset Maya

"At about s a. m. General Keller,
who was directing the fight around
Ikhavue, deemed 1T necessary to lend
assistance to General Kash Talinsky' S
column by bringing up from the gem
eral reserve three batta1ions to the
heights SurmOunted by the temple. In
order to maintain the position we had
already occupied, it was necessary
owing to the enemy's pressure, to re-
inforce Immediately the troops in the
fighting line. but these positions owing
to their situation were untenable.
General Keller found the strength
of the enemy so great compared
with ours that he decided not to con-
tinue the fight and not to bring up
either the special or general reserves
and artillery in view of the fact that
in case of his ultimately taking the
offensive it would be necessary to at
tack without support of the field ar
tillery.
Keller decided about 1890 to with
draw his troops to the position origin
ally occupied in the Yanze pass. The
troops retired slowly step by step and
in perfect order. covered by the fire OF
a field battery which had been brought
into action.

There Is to be State Conven- ton of Wood Clubs to meet in Little Rock on the Sth of March. Each Carroll D Wood Club in the State is requested to send at least five or six delegates to this Convention. It is expected that this will be one of the most i'm portant assemblies that ever met at the capital. The object Is to thoroughly organize the Wood forces for the coming Pri- mary of March 26th. Let the Drew County Club send a full quota of delegates to this meet ing, and show the people of the State that we are interested in the political welfare of Judge Wood.

In all primary elections where candidates seek the nomination of their party, there can be no such thing, in the proper sense, as par ty issees, as all candidates offering are presumed to be in line and ready to stand upon the platform of the party when made, hence all this elatter about issues among the respective candidates are at this time premature. No man is larger tha. his party, and when any man tries to make himself a campaign issue and in so doing force all the action of his party, and to force upon it, as q declaration of princi- ples, his own private views, in orr own opinion, he goes too far. All that should be demanded, seek ing nomination at the hands of his party, Is this: Is he honest is he capable; is he loyal to his party; is his reputation good and his character above reproach? With all these answered in tie affirma. tive what more can be desired or required; If he Is honest he can not be corrupted, if he is capable he will not bring reproach upon the party by his blundefs; if he is loyal he will be true to his party, let the issues be what they may. so long as they are regular and the re- suit of party action. In grand Old Arkansaw there Is no necessity for Democrats to select anything but first class material to fill the various offices from governor down, for the reason that the material is SO abundant that no mistake need be made, and when the party speaks at the coming election, 1t will give forth no uncertain sound on any living issue that looks to good gov ernment. Let Us therefore have no bickerings aud no strife among candidates for the important offices sought by them but let Us all work together for the common good of our grand old state and eounty.-- Perryvilie News.

And now comes the claim from MorriltoG, a town in tie county where Mccullough lives, stating chat the affidavit used by Davis iu his Eureka Springs speech, purportine to have been made by him, is a forgery. MT Van deventer made this startling dis closure in a speech before the Carroll D Wood Club q few days ago, in the town of MorriIton. This matter should be thorough Iy investigated and ifs true that the affidavit of Mccullough, in Davis speech is q base forgery, the people should be apprised of the fact. and somebody should be made to answer for the of fense.

DANGERS DE < THIRD TERM.

The dangers of a third term jn an executive office. such as Presi- dent of the United States. of Gov ernor of a State. ire apparent to q nan wha stops ta think. Long continuance in office makes Jhe of flee holder feel that instead of be- ing ssrraat of the people he is their master He feels that he owns the office. It tends to breed cor ruption in public morals, and one man power. For instance the Governor of State has the right to fill every office in the gift of the people by appointment, if the of flee becomes vacant by death or resignation. He appoints men who will do his bidding, who be- come his political servants. He has the power to pardon persons convicted of any crime in any court in the State The temptation to Use this power for political paf- poses CT for pay is very great. He has the power to veto any acts or laws made by tie legislature. The temptation to use this power for personal CT political gain is very great. t is not long since Coy ernor of Arkansas, for political and personal gain, used this power and set aside nearly the whole work of the legislature after it had adjourn ed He may, for personal and DO litical gain, put obstruetions in the way of the progress of the develop ment of the States resources. He may, for personal and political gain. use bis high position to ere ate feeling of dtstrust, among the people, of the courts and of the other officers whom they have elect. ed. All these matters have result ed in a law which is not written in any code ot laws of any State, nor in the code of the laws of the United States, but nevertheless law which stands nnchaIlenged in all the States--that no Governor shaIl be elected to third term and no President shall be elected to Il third term. IL is law made by a free people who are jealons of their liberties It Is wise law and one that has never been violat- ed by any party-Ft. Smith Eie- vator.
