coNcEIr AND WHINING IN OFFICE.

When the United States electors OF
the state of Virginia met not long ago
to cast their vote for the democrat cam
didates for president and vice presi-
dent, ono of the electors at large rose
to make confession and voice a deep
regret. He was sorry. so he said to
term between election day and the
meeting of the electors he had changed
his mind and now believed the repub-
lican candidates to be better and more
worthy men. He voted with the rest
OF the electors IS he had been elected
to vote, but could not resist the oppor-
tunity to make grandstand display
and a cheap bid for notoriety by dis
claiming the defeated candidates of his
party.
This is a cheap type of mankind. n
class crazy with self-conceit, and eaten
with vanity. Mr.. Barksdale was not
at the electoral meeting to cast a
personal vote, but simply as a trusted
messenger to deliver the will Of his
district. Rather his messenger service
was limited to the will of HIS party in
his district Without doubt he sought
the office and had Parker been elected
president would have swelletl with inn
\ akkSCf l,n
over more competent applicants. II
the job didn't suit him he had plenty
of time In which to resign. He chose
to hold to the position and take dis
honorable advantage of it.
This Mr.. Barksdale appears to hold
the same erroneous apprehension Of
his personality as a necessity to the
people that is more or less prevalent
among elective officials. Men beg
and entreat and intrigue for
office and Immediately after an
election in which they were sue
cessful by the skin of their teeth swell
nigh to bursting with sense of the
duty of the people toward themselves
and ask for better pay forgetting that
a better man stands ready to take their
places at the old price.
The personal equation o. an elected
official is always overestimated by
himself, too often overestimated by
the people. No man was ever an
absolute necessity to the world or
death would be unnatural. The great
est fallacy that an employer may fall
into is that any one man is neces-
sity to the success of his business.
Officials are simply the peoples hired
men and the puhlic will do we'll to
fire" such Els fall into the dangerous
fallacy that the public can not get
along without them.
To every representative of party
or people who feels that his person
atty overshadows his office, the outlet
of official resignation is always open.
Let him get out. And il he fails to
do so let the public put him out. The
wilmer has no place in public office.

Biology becomes thus. according to

ART OF TRUNK PACKING.
Some Examples Set Forth by MT
 Gumtree.

From the Washington Post.
 Every now and then,' said Mir. Gum tree. q read piece in the papers about the art of trunk packing; old, experienced men who have travelled much telling younger fellows how to avoid carrying un- necessary stuff and how to stow the things that they do carry to the best ad- vantage; all sound advice and useful, no doubt, to the immature. but improve on all these professors and have no trouble about packing at a1l-I suppose because I've got a wife
 My business takes me away occasional- ly on trips that last three, four, or Ave weeks at time! and when l am about to start on one of these trips Mrs. Gumtree packs my trunk.
 Mrs. Gumtree, without question, Is the greatest trunk packer that ever lived bar none, and don't doubt that she holds the same bslief, for when she has got all through packing she always tells me that she doesn't believe I will ever be able to get the stun back into the trunk again when I come home.
 But she is the star packer sure enough. She puts in not only everything I want, but everything I ought to have adding to both in quantity. certain per centaAe of emergency, so that nothing ever goes wrong or IdllS SIoTl. Anu WHci its all packed she goes over 1t all to me in detail and tells me where I'll find everything
 And I do find everything all right. II has never failed, and In due time when I have got through with my business and get ready to come home, do my own little stunt of packing for the homeward trip, getting into that trunk the stuff that Mrs Gumtree thought never could but which I never fail to do
 Cant ever get the stuff back into the trunk? Why, it's easy, Its cinch, and as I bounce on the lid for the last time and finally get the lock to connect and buckle the strap around it, smile at Mrs. Gum tree, at the other end of the line, and say to myself, as I survey the trunk: Yes yes, I guess we know a little something about trunk packing ourselves But:
 "When I come to get home and Mrs Gumtree lifts the lid of that trunk and looks at the solidifed chaos within:
 'Roderick Gumtree.' she always says trunk packed like this again I'll get 8 divorce
 But she never has yet, she still packs my trunk, outward bound, with 'ust the same comprehensiveness, order and trim ness, and as long as her kindness holds in this, and as long as I can remember how to do the grand consolidated compres. act for the return trip l shall feel that I have small need indeed to take any lessons whatever from any of those would be professors of the noble art of trunk packing rs
