A Neglected Example.

The days drift quietly along
At Pohick on the Crick.
There's time for work an time fol
song.
Events don't move so quick
That folks get nervous when they tr.
To step with the parade.
Each looks his neighbor in the eye
An smiles an amt afraid.
Our congressman has things to say
Concernin' ancient Rome,
An how it's prospects went astray.
An when he's bringin' home
Great truths he says we ought to learn
We know that purity soon
His grave reflections he will turn
To France an the commune.
The folks out our way fail to see
What business tbs of theirs,
II way-on people cannot be Z.
Discreet in their affairs.
'Mongst us the CRATER or the crook
In vain attempts his trick
Why don't they write a hist'ry book

Choosing Ones Work.

From the Omaha Bee.
This matter of choosing ones life work
is one Of the severest tasks person has
to meet. Many men do not find their
spheres of greatest usefulness until mid
die age. while others never find them.
Education ought to help one to find his
true sphere. The great difficulty with
so many young people is they show an
adaptability to too many things; they
become what their fellows or instructors
call versatile. The versatile man some
times is the worst handicapped man. He
can do a dozen things fairly well and he
spends his time between them. scattering
his fire, instead of concentrating on one
object single purpose and learning to
do that In the aggregate better than he
could do each of the eleven. The man
who. with a bent for music, can play half
dozen instruments IS not nearly SO
likely to play as well as the man who
becomes expert in the use OF but one.
The versatile man Is seldom more than
an amateur, being kept out Of the pro-
fessional class simply because he has
never learned to concentrate his full
powers on one thing. Young men and
women must look out for these pitfalls.
The only talent that ever accomplishes
anything worth while Is that trained
along a certain, definite, fixed line.

The Georgetown Collectorship.

II is not to be believed that there
is any serious intention on the part of
the President to impose upon the Dis
trict of Columbia another infraction
Of the home rule principle. to which
the republican party stands pledged in
it's platform adopted in national con-
vention by appointing to the position
of collector of the port Of Georgetown
a Georgia colored man. The report to
this effect cannot be credited. There
Is no precedent whatever for filling this
position in such a manner. The col
lectorship in Georgetown has been
held from the beginning by local men.

self In it's essence it is local position.
for this port is entered almost exclu-
sively by residents of the District. 1t
is in no sense national customs gate
way. to be administered by a political
appointee from one of the states.
The suggested appointment of
Georgia colored man is Objectionable
on two accounts first on account Of
the importation and second on account
of the color of the proposed appointee.
This is not to argue against the APP
pointment of colored men to public Of
ice 1neN nave DTONcu So"
pable in administrative positions. But
il is the unfortunate experience of
Washington that whenever an office
has been filled in this manner its sub
seuuent filing follows. as by tradi-
tion, the same course. Thus the re-
cordership of deeds is now, by an
automatic process. given to colored
resident Of one of the states. chosen on
partisan grounds without reference TO
the wishes or the sensibilities of the
local people.
According to the report printed in
yesterdays Star the Georgetown col
lectorship is to be given TO this
Georgian. not because he is particular
ly qualified. not because he is familiar
with the duties of such an office, not
because he knows the ground here, but
because he has just been displaced by
resignation process from federal posi-
ton which he has held for a number of
years, and another place is needed for
him. This emphasizes the Objectionable
character of the proposed appointment. 1t
tends to make the Georgetown collector
ship, mere pawn in the political game.
II reduces it frankly to the basis Of spells.
The Importation OF an outsider to NIL
this position. after an uninterrupted
record of years of local appointments.
suggests that in the executive mind
there is no qualified resident Of the
District worthy of selection for this
preferment. 1t is in the light Of such
a thought that the report of the Presi-
dents intention thus to offend his fell
low-townsmen of Washington is be-
yond belief Lacking precedent, lack
ing excuse and utterly lacking justin
cation. such an appointment is incon-
ceivable.

Mr.. Clark and the Stump.

1t IL announced that Mr. Clark Of Mis-
souri, will not appear on the chautauqua
circuit this year He is a favorite there,
commands a high figure for his addresses
and draws large audiences. But politics
has the call now, and he will devote the
time before the November elections to
asking for votes for democratic candI-
dates for seats in the next House. He
will canvass close districts where his
party is hopeful, and try to land them in
the democratic column.
This is a wise decision. both for Mr..
Clark and his party. His party should
profit, because he is it's most eminent
member of the present House. and should
1t control the next House he will be the
Speaker. Wherever voters may be waver-
ing, therefore, and DESTROYS OF an author
cratic victory this year will mean. Mr..
Clark will MI the bill. What he says
should go
1t is to be presumed that this veteran
will not conflne himself to mere criticism
of the other side. We may be sure that
he will do more than indulge in verbal
lunKes at "Cannonism," and complaining
about the Payne law. The public will
want to know, and be entitled to know.
what sort Of rules the House will operate
under if he becomes its presiding officer,
and what sort of tariff bill he will assist
in preparing to take the place OF the
Payne law Criticism may be made very
entertaining. but construction is the thing
that convinces and makes votes.
Mr.. Clark himself should profit, be-
cause. In q way, he will be his party 4

Humbug in Pugilism.
From the New York World.

The Governor of Nevada regards prize
fighting exactly as he does money. Both
are desirable. and his only inquiry in
regard to either Is: Is 1t genuine? II the
heavyweights now in his Jurisdiction can
convince him that they intend to fight in
earnest he will not interfere with them
This position is so sharply in conflict
with that held in most of the other
states that II may be worth q moments
consideration. Pretended imitation
prize fights can be held almost anywhere
Are they less Objectionable than the real
thing and X not, why are they tolerated :?
The state which insists upon having its
pugilism unadulterated is likely to be
near the total extinction OF that sport
as those commonwealths in which il is
kept alive under various fake disguises.

The futility OF attempting to use the
dirigible balloon as a practical "airship'
for passenger carrying or any other
scheduled service is perhaps unnecessarily
demonstrated anew by the mishap to the
Zeppelin machine in the course OF it's lat
est attempt to fly from Dusseldorf to
Dortmund. A high head wind prevailing
at the beginning Of the journey, which
was undertaken TO demonstrate the ca
pacity of the Deutschland to a number of
newspaper men. the great craft was at a
disadvantage from the outset. After ten
hours of struggling the balloon was
finally overcome and dashed into a forest
She was wrecked more completely than in
the case of any of the previous accidents
to the Zeppelin balloons. One of the ems
gines was disabled early in the struggle
against the wind. After this mishap the
dirigible was virtually at the mercy of
the sale. and it was with the greatest diff
ficulty that her pilot succeeded In pre-
Venting her from being dashed to pieces
at once. At one time she was carried
LOO feet into the air by a sudden gust of
wind, and death for all on board seemed
inevitable, but by fortunate chance the
Carthward fail was checked and a benef-
cent slant of air carried her into the for
est, where she was rendered helpless and
held fast
Save for fair weather sailing the gas
bag. however heavily motored, is an un.
trustworthy device. The necessity TO in
crease the area of wind resistance i'm pro-
portion TO the power renders such an ap-
paratus necessarily subject to the whims
of the atmosphere. There is ne conceiva.
bic way to overcome this danger and
thereby to make the dirigible successful

the airplane can do better remains to be
demonstrated, but enough has been shown

Criminal Immigrants.

Tho other day three men or foreign
birth committed a most daring murderous
highway robbery in the city of Lynn in
broad daylight. wealthy manufac-
turer and his guard. a policeman, were
shot to death for the money they were
carrying with which to pay the formers
employees. Policemen and citizens pur-
sued the robbers, surrounded them and
took one Of them alive. one dead and
one dying. They proved to be old Of

In years. The one who was unframed is
only twenty-one years of age. In Russia,
his native country. he was a smuggler
and a common thief. Probably If the
other men could have been questioned as
closely they would have disclosed similar
experiences in the old country.

wrong.
As a Louisianian. Mr. ,McEnery was
greatly interested in the cane sugar in
dustry. His constituents asked protection
for 1t. and he Endorsed their request. He
believed<in protection as a national pol
icy. He had seen the country developed
by it and under it. and as senator he
considered It his duty to support the
policy in its national application.
There were protection democrats before
this man. There were protection demo-
Gratis In ONCE at his side. Protection
democrats survive him. But his was a
conviction which carried him openly to
logical end. He conceded to others what
he asked of them for himself. He did
not ask New England to help sugar
through the tariff. and then cast his
vote to cripple the industries OF New
England. He thought that sauce for the
south should be sauce for north. east
and west, and he voted for the same
seasoning for all sections.
This brought Mr.. McEnery into notice,
and subjected him to much criticism HIS
democracy was questioned. His political
destruction was threatened. He was told
that he ought to give place to a man
who would support his party on every
roll call on every proposition. But on the
tariff question he would not retreat an
inch, and his constituents sustained him.
He had just entered upon his third term
He supported the Dinsley bill In his first
term, and was elected for the third term
with his constituents apDrised OF the fact
that he would again vote for protection
in the revision that the Sixty-frst Con-
gress was pledged to make.
The record is one of which McEnery
family and friends are. and should be,
proud. He kept faith with himself. his
and the country. Without
thunder or pyrotechnics, he lived up to
his convictions and showed a national
grasp OF a national policy. Few men en-
tering the national service so late in life
he was turned sixty when he first ap-
peared in the Senate-have made so deep
an impression for courage and consist
ency in the face o. warm opposition.
