HlssnnIAN PRIZE LETTER CON-

The Hibernian prize letter contest
which has been announced, is an open
10 all competition similar to The Bull
Jetin's Lincoln prize letter contest

II calls for little stories OF 800 words
about the achievements Of Irishmen'

is scope enough for all, since irish
citizens and their descendants have
DISTINGUISHED themselves for scholar

public until the present day.
II will be a good study for the pu-

part of the state, and cannot fail Of
reward in an increase Of knowledge,

The Bulletin hopes that wide In

THE NECESSITY FOR TWO GREAT
FLEETS.

The president has called the atten-
ton Of the country to the fact that this
is a two-coast country and that the
Pacific coast is 1000 miles greater in
length than the Atlantic and 1t goes
without decreeing It that powerful
naval feet is needed in the Pacific as
well as in the Atlantic and there is
no doubt that the future policy Of the
government is to keep an able fleet on
both seas.
Since the Pacific fleet sailed four
teen months ago there have been sew
eral battleships put into commission,
and there are others in the works
The Nebraska and Wisconsin took the
places Of the Illinois and Alabama in
the feet, and the New HAMPSHIRE
Idaho, Mississippi, Michigan and
South Carolina, which are S-gun
Dreadnaughts, will be ready for serv-
ice by October next; and in the next
two years the North Dakota and Del
aware and the Florida and Utah will
be put into commission.
There are constantly arising situa-
tons the world over that viii demand
the presence Of American ghips Of
war. Wherever American interests
are in peril or wherever the worlds
peace is threatened, there the Amer
lean fleets must go. Police duties
Will entail cruises to many waters.
The demands Of international comfy
also call for frequent despatching Of
ships to foreign ports. This win nota-
bly be the case when Japan invites
the nations Of the world to do her hon
or upon the occasion Of her great ex-
position.
This gives US two strong fleets Of
battleships, and the times are ripe for
Pacific coast guard as well as a
guard on the Atlantic coast.

AMERICA AGAIN LoUKs INVlT-
ING,

Il has been predicted that the year
1903 would be a high tide year for
immigration, and the present arrivals
indicate that the aliens have beheld
the sign Of coming prosperity for they
are coming in large numbers. OF a
recent day seventeen ships carrying
5000 immigrants, arrived in New
York showing that they are anticipat-
ing employment.
The Immigrants are well posted on
labor conditions throughout the world
and their coming to the United States
at this time is proof that they have
assurance Of employment In the va
rious Industries. The industrial army
moves only when It has work In sight
and has become so mobile in later
years that It responds promptly TO the
flrst demand for raw labor. The turn
OF the tide indicates that this country
is entering upon another cycle Of
prosperity.
From the time Of the panic 10 Jan
nary 1, 1903, nearly one million aliens
had left this country but the prospects
are that the close of the present year
VIII see them all back again.

THE LOBBY.

The announcement that there Is no
visible lobby at Hartford should not
be accepted as evidence that there is
no lobby there. The lobbyist is just
as natural to Legislature as a flea is
to a dog, and he Is classed with the
parasites and is often referred to by
impolite reformers and editors as YER
min.
The lobbyist appears to be popular
only with a single class Of legislators
and by everyone else he is suspected
and whacked and legisIated against,
but after twenty years of experiment
tation it is becoming recognized that
he cannot be eliminated by law, I'M
less the law carries with IL some de-
grading or Identifying provision.
Killing the lobby does not seem to
be much more successful than killing
time and 1t is quite as constant. The
Missouri legislature has a bill before
it which would compel lobbyists to
wear a uniform like a bell boy or a
Salvation Army worker, that he may
be known on sight and the legislators
be known by the company that they
keep.
A Texas legislator is reported to
have introduced a bill which provides
that all lobbyists shall carry whistles
which they must blow to announce
their presence in hotel corridors or
any places IN which the law makers
meet or loiter, as a means Of making
an end Of them; but you cannot make
a lobbyist whistle by law any more
than you can make man sing by law
or pray by law.
The lobbyist doesn't mind-the third
house is a power unto itself. It has
no speaker, no stated salary, no proud
leader but it somehow forces through
laws and unmakes unsusceptible mem
bers Of the regular house. 1t recog-
nizes the necessity for anti-lobby
laws and never expects itself to be
made a recognizable body

STRONG CONSTITUTIONS.

A Brockton man, rs years old. still
in active life. says that there IS no
reason under the sun why man of
so shouldn't be just as strong, active
and healthy as man of 40, providing
he has lived a clean life, with plenty
of fresh air and exercise" There are
saany men of clean life, who took
plenty OF fresh air and exercise, who
died long before they reached 80.
Good care of the machine is very i'm
portant, but sound machine in the
first place is an essential which this
strong old man overlooks. The one
who has such a perfect physical ma
chine is apt to be scornful of the 9TH
er whose breakdown he cannot ac-
count for.--Waterbury American.
The strong constitution Is always
subject to the most abuse, and those
who think there is no end to their en-
durance are the ones who usually do
not live out one-half their days. Men
Of no constitution in youth have lived
over 100 years. Captain Diamond of
Oakland Cal, who will be ia years
old in May. got marked signs of old
age at 65, and by attention to his diet
and habits overcame them and prom
ises yet to live for years. Louis Cor
naro, a Venetian of noble birth. had
completely wrecked his constitution
by riotous living and intemperance
when he was forty and was warned
that only the greatest care Of his
diet could prolong his days. He drop
ped meat, adopted simple diet, never
allowing himself over II opnces of
food a day and lived to be 104. A
large per cent. of the centenarians
were feeble in youth. and none Of them
practice excuses of any kind. Their
temperance in all things, their self
control and abstemiousness, have more
to do with long life than a strong con-
stitution. Persons who know their
weaknesses harbor their strength.
