THE TALK OF THE DAY.

julius Stettenheim celebrated his eightietf
birthday in Berlin on November 2. The
current number OF "Ulk' contains a por'
trait OF the venerable writer by August
Hajduk and a poem by himself. In this
the survival of youthful spirit and humol
asserts itself. Anticipating the congratu-
lations of his friends he says:
And still I'll bet no one would change
with me.
No, bet | could not, for I know"
At eighty he tells how sweet it is to live
and, taking sides against Schiller, names
life as the greatest of the gifts of the gods
Cheerfully he looks toward the furnace
door, from behind which he will go up ir
smoke" possibly to a place where 1T Is
still more beautiful than here"
A SIMPLE DISTINCTION.
The egost pours forth his song
With ever placid mind:
''The difference 'twixt right and wrong
Is easily defined.
When suggestion i present
On topics great or slight
Regardless of all argument,
THAT'S RIGHT.
And when. upon the other hand.
Some rival sage butts In
With arts Of language at command
Your confidence TO win,
And contradicts what may claim.
With reasoning mild or strong,
The answer always is the same:
THAT'S WRONG"

After one century and nearly twoscore
years OF another this nation still has no
national holiday" writes James Lane Allen
in The Munsey" for November. 1T may
surprise one-half the nation TO encounter
such a statement, but the statement Is true
The nation has never instituted an Ameri-
can holiday. There is no federal statute
to authorize ard embody one in the re-
public's laws. Congress may sit on every
day OF the year; the government has never
legisated itself out OF the right TO do busi-
ness for the space OF any twenty-four
hours"

However much they may differ on other
subjects" says New York letter in the
Berlin Post" ''our friends and relations
who have taken up their homes in the
united states agree on al least one point,
and that is that II takes only short time
for the German TO become an American.
Stoutly as he may cling to language, GUS
toms and food and drink, his children
speak English, their ideas are American
and sauerkraut and kuchen give way 10
pork and beans and pie. And still there
must remain some love for the old home
and IT'S glories. when one sees that in one
day three monuments were unveiled which
have been erected by Germans TO the
memory OF great men Of their country-at
Cleveland one to Richard Wagner and at
Syracuse one composite. to Schiller and
Goethe"

THE MERIT SYSTEM ~ HUDSON
T0TF ATH

one Of the most agreeable features Of
the comin~ election in the State Of New
Jersey is the prospect that the merit
system in the civil service will be adopt
ed by a referendum Of the voters of Had
son County and Jersey City for applica-
ton In those two municipalities. Steps
to that end have been taken and the
outlook is said TO be pretty clear that
the referendum will he carried by an
overwhelming vote. We do not know
flat there are many places in that or in
any other state where there is more
need of it than there. At the present
time Investigations and suits In court
are showing up the affairs Of Hudson
County in way which must cause
shame to every citizen who has regard
for the good repute Of his community,
and there is only too much reason for
thinking that not nearly all Of the scan
dalous story Of misgovernment is vet
known.
Now, it may not be that the prevalence
OF the merit system would have pre-
vented all Of these abuses, for misgov-
ernment is unfortunately not unknown in
places where that system Is in force.
But there can he no question that IL
would have prevented many Of them, for
not few Of the worst have been Of
precisely the kind which most flourish
under the spoils system and are greatly
facilitated by it. The temper Of tile
citizens of Hudson County is being pretty
well shown in these days IN various
ways. and it indicates that they realize
the advantages of an enlightened civil
