Carlyle concealed with difficulty his

kept injuries fresh in Mary's mind.

'You mustn't!"
Unheeding, he moved off.

At this instant young man in white

Height MT which Meteor. Burn.

1t is supposed that meteors begin to
burn when they are within about 125
miles of the earth and that combustion
is completed and they disappear at
from thirty-five to fifty miles above the
earth. When we see falling star,
therefore, we may consider that we
have watched it through flight of
about 100 miles before it finally burns
out and disappears from view.

ership, IN IMMENSELY OF OUTPUT. The German
dwens upon the unapproachable QUALITY of his work.
The American is apt to boast that he produces, say, five locomotives a
day. The German would rather boast; that he produced one locomo-
tive a day, but the best locomotive in the world. So i is through the
whole range of industry.
l suppose that it is only natural that our attention should have
been concentrated almost entirely upon a great and quickly delivered
supply Of cheap products, because our national growth has been 90
great and so swift. There has been nothing seen like it before in hu-
man history. And it is only proper that the United States should have
credit for bringing the steel. industry to a point, both IS to supply and
price, which made possible the present movement for THE RECON-
STRUCTION OF THE WORLD ON A STEEL BASIS. The
have not developed an art or a science as great as that of Europe. But
each country must contribute to civilization in is own way and in its
own time; and America has certainly broadened the foundations of
the worlds industrial life and has in that way contributed to the COM
fort and betterment of humanity.
But, having mastered the problem of immense AND ECONOM-
1CAL production, we are now face to face with the question raised
by Germany, with her scientific spirit and technical schools. We have
the best supply of raw materials in the world. We have the most en-
ergetc and intelligent population in the world. There is no reason
why we should not now address ourselves to the question Of the
HIGHEST WORLD STANDARDS in everything.
We are apt to forget that the world is constantly seeking for the
best, that we cannot make anything TOO GOOD for the market.
WE CAN OVERCOME COMPETITION IN TWO WAYS; ONE 10
sY SELLING CHEAPER AND THE OTHER IS ~ MAKING BETTER.
THERE 70 NO REASON WHY WE SHOULD NOT LEAD THE WORLD
IN BOTH.

The ~Stanchness of
American Rectitude

~ GROVER CLEVELAND. ExPrMidsnt II he United sates
T o people can lose hope while their courts and jures remain
u~nbemiahed and administer justice feazlesely and unre1ent-
ingly. United States senator's and representatives who, re-
= lying on the loose ideas Of honesty pervading their environ
ment, have betrayed the trust of the people find that no perverted SEN
timent and no disguise or dazzle of high position avails to save them
from the fate of COMMON M~ALEFACTORS.
The easy going diuse of political privileges by honest citizens falls
far short of a willingness ON their part to overlook or tolerate a vile
traffic in votes o r an abominable bartering away of the peoples inter-
ess in places of trust.

1t is possible that the expression Claimed money" originated in .
somewhat fancful idea, but in American tcrminology it will always
suggest the moral constituencies and redemptive qualities of American
character.
1t may be that directors Of organizations who have invited tho

O1OUSLY betrayed their trust will not thereby lose caste among their
fellows in the guild of riches; but there are millions of their country
men who will persist in measuring their conduct by the plain, simple
standard Of moral rechtude.
The American character has received no DISABLING wounds
or hurts. 1t can be relied upon to save III institutions, if its moral
fiber is not further weakened by the creeping corrosion of greed or
wicked neglect.
AND THESE CANNOT OCCUR IF THE MASSES OF THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE WATcHFUL, FAITHFUL TO THEIR GREAT
