IS POLITICAL GAME CRUEL?

An exchange remarks that politics
is a cruel game. Not only is politics
cruel but business and nature herself
are cruel, unless indeed we say that
the relentless certainty with which
old age, disease and death claim hu-
mainly is the truest mercy. The
winds have no mercy on the aged
tree stricken with decay, and the
wolves do not pass by the aged and
helpless of the flock and attack the
fleet and strong Men in their deal
ings with one another are almost as
pitiless. In politics, in business, in
the labor market, wherever man buys
or sells or fights, the penalty of weak
ness is given to one whose physical
vgor is not declining, and the aged
preacher or teacher is crowded out to
make room for youth and inexperi-
ence. Even federal judges and army
and navy officers must retire while
yet vigorous to make room for
younger men. In the rare cases
where men hold Office to advanced
age it is always elective Office which
they hold, and nearly always it Is
the sort of elective Office which is the
gift not directly of the people, but
of some representative body like a
legislature. There are many old
senator's, but few old representatives
in the national congress. In view of
all this how ludierous it is to raise
the cry that the political game is in
any unusual degree cruel. The
man who asks that certain duties
should be entrusted to him must
expect to prove that he is capable
of performing them. The world
shows no mercy to men with wea-
pons in their hands. The aged are
venerated and honored when they
have laid their weapons down, but
can expect no favors as long as they
join in the fight. Right or wrong,
just or unjust, cruel or merciful, this
is the way of the world and no man
ception.

A dispatch informs us that a capt.
talist, formerly well known in this
city, has brought suit to recover $751;
500 on stock transaction, because
a concern in which he invested proved
failure. 1t appears that he went
into the enterprise on the under
standing that the stock would rise
to certain amount per share, and
now that it has failed to do so he
wants his money back. Evidently
the gentleman believes that specula-
tive business must be on a sure ba-
sis when he engages in it, but the
chances are that he is not greatly
concerned whether the other fellows
in the "spec" with him come out all
right.-San Francisco Chronicle

Money orders TO the enormous
amount of $4,000 700 were issued
by the New York postoffice last year.
Three millions of this amount went
abroad, mainly sent by immigrants to

pie enjoyed by means of the royalties
the bulk of the profits which had
been given the nation in its stores
of subterranean wealth, he was con-
demned as little short of an anarch-
ist!,. And yet, had this wise policy
been pursued years ago and the val
liable lands from which the Standard
has pumped its untold gallons of oil
remained the property of the govern
ment, the United States would today
have been $3.50, 100000 richer, while
$500, 100000 in taxes would have
been saved to the people from oil
profits alone, to say nothing of the
vast profits which could have been
made in the form of royalties from
the great coal fields, title to which
long since passed to the coal trust.

Queer of fortunes as good mine, but

Not a White Mans Country.

Conditions are not only reversed
in the black mans country, but there
is little disposition to give the I'M
der man chance. For instance, in
Liberia in Africa, no matter how
much a white man wants to own
property he is not allowed to do so;
only negroes can hold property and
become citizens. The color line" be-
ing so well defined, there is little
danger of social problems or disfran-
chisement. The negro on his native
heath is wise.-Our Country.

: ENGAGED TO WE'D; MISSING.
Finding Of Youths Clothing o
Wharf Terrifles Family,

PHILADELPHIA, August 26.-The fact
that the clothes he wore last have been
found an wharf at Elkert's lane, on the
Delaware river, has terrified the parents of
Burton H. Rath of 1911 North Sd street
as we'll as a young woman, whom the par
ents learned only yesterday he was to marry.
1t is feared that he has been drowned; !;
that he either committed suicide or was
drowned in the river while bathing alone.
His father, Charles Rath, felt the first
alarm Saturday last, when the son failed to
return home from the shoe factory which
the two conduct Headiey street east Of
Richmond street. He hurried to the factory
The fireman there led him to the locker in
which the young man kept his clothes and
pointed out the suit which he was >accus-
toned to wear to and from the factory. The
sons keys hung in the lock. That was
enough to cause concern to the father, who
knew his sons regular habits, but when, as
he stood wondering what 1t meant, police
man entered with the suit which had been
found on the wharf, and it was proved be-
yond question that they were the clothes
which had been worn from the factory
there was real alarm.
The family feels sure that young Rath
did not change his clothes and leave the
old ones in a spot which would indicate
that he had been drowned The only other
conclusion was that he had died in the
water

SEE THEIR CHILD KILLED.
Street Car Runs Over a Little Girl on
Her Way to Church.

NEW YORK, August 26.--Helen Metzger.
three years old, who lived with her parents
at 201 Franklin street, Williamsburg. was
instantly killed yesterday morning when
she was knocked down and run over by a
car Of the Greenpoint line at Franklin and
Freeman streets. The parents witnessed
the killing of the child and the father at
tackled the motorman, Michael Faulkner,
thirtyfour years old of Isl Norman ave-
nue.. who tried to run away. Policeman
Burke Of the Greenpoint avenue station
saved the motorman from further abuse by
threatening to club any one who interfered
with him. Faulker was taken to the Man
haitian avenue police court, where Magis-
trate Manner held him on a charge of tlomi-
eide to await the coroner's investigation.
After the child was dressed by her mother
she was told to go to the front door and
wait until the parents got ready to take her
to church. The child crossed the roadway
to speak to some of her little playmates
and when her parents came down she ran
back as car 1858 of the Greenpoint line
came along on its way to South Ferry
The car was of the vestibule style and to
protect himself from the dust Motorman
Faulker had closed the window. He told
the police after the fatality that the suns
rays against the glass blinded him and that
when the MetZger child ran in front of his
car he did not see her until it was too late.
