Three Roads to Ruin.

Andrew Carnegie says: 'There are
three dangers in the path to success. The
first is the drinking of liquor, the second
is speculation, and the third is Endorsing.
When was telegraph operator in Pitts
burg, | knew all the men who specialized.
They were not our citizens of best repute !;
they were regarded with a suspicion. l
have lived to see all of them ruined, bank
rupt in money and bankrupt in character.
There is scarcely an instance of a man
who has made fortune in speculation and
kept it. The third danger is the perilous
habit OF indorsing notes. When man in
debt indorses for another, it is not his own
credit or his own capital that he risks; it
is the money of his own creditors. There
fore say that if you are ever called upon
to indorse, never do it unless you have
cash means not required for your own
debts, and never indorse beyond your

From Our State Exchanges

Baton Rouge State-Times: Neither
man nor community can expect to get
'something for nothing" whether it be
food, good roads, private residences or
public buildings.
St. Francisville True Democrat: In our
opinion, and as much as we denounce the
course of Mr.. Harris in the premises, it
would have set bad precedent for the
committee to call for the resignation of a
regular nominee. Occasion will arise
when it could be used as freely to cut the
other way, according to the factional ma
jority in the committee. Some other
means must be found to meet such cases
and punish treachery as it deserves to be
punished. The stability of the primary
law demands that it's nominees shall be
inviolate.
Lake Charles American Press: Maine
Democrats have sent an uninstructed dele
cation to the Democratic National Con-
vention at Baltimore. If the Democrats
of the various States are really DESTROYS c.
winning in next falls election, they will
select reliable men for delegates and leave
their hands united. On the other hand, il
they merely desire to voice their adherence
to certain "principles'' which are not

they will tie their delegates up so that
they will have no chance to take advantage
of the blunders of their opponents.
Mansfield Enterprise: Our present Rail-
road Commission, if not utterly incompe-
tent, is absolutely inefficient, and we want
to see change, realizing that any change
will be for the better. The commission
has degenerated into farce, as no two
railroads have the same rates, as no two
men can read the published tariff rates of
some of the roads doing business in this
State, and agree as to what will be the
freight on commodity to be shipped. In
fact, very frequently a road will have one
rate on commodity from one town to
another, and a different rate on the same
article, if shipped back to the same point
over the same line.
nodson Times: You will never find a
busy man meddling with other peoples
business, nor one who is we'll versed in
general science. A we'll stored mind has
not the room for Cabling, nor has the
mind of busy man space for the need of
tale bearing. Education and business
preoccupy and lift humanity above such
low and debasing depravity. It is the
idler WHO becomes the gossip peddler.
His brain is the veritable workshop of the
devil Backbiting, slandering, gossiping
and lying are not members of busy, INTEL
ligent minds. Take the street loafer and
the tough. the coarse and the vulgar, and
you will find where they dwell.

TWO-DOIlar Sn0bs.

Any cheap snob with So and no pride
may call and be received by Mrs. Corne-
Illus Vanderbilt at her Fifth avenue resi-
dence on Friday. 1t will be thrown open
to the public for 50 admission fee in the
name of charity, and besides sale of
laces the hostess herself personally will be
on exhibition in the act of pouring tea. A
cup of tea from her hand in her home will
alone be worth the price of admission to
many people Gncluding the sort who
swarm the church sidewalks and prompt
riot calls at ''swel'' weddings.)
No doubt the affair will be 'crush. -
There are no end of fawning snobs who
would give more than So to get into Van
derbit mansion and meet a Vanderbilt
under any conditions and on any pretext.
1t is the spectacle of these would be snobs
paying their money and self-respect in
order to be patronized that pains the lover
of free institutions. For it is the numer-
Gus class of under-snobs that supports the
un- American but universal institution OF
snobbery. Without them our American
Commonwealth would have less to apollo
gize for in asserting its distinction as a
real democracy.
Plutocratic freakishness that proceeds
on the dime museum principle sets new
high water mark to snobbery for the world
and it would be one of the finest tributes
ever paid to genuine American character
if the show would be ''frost.' Alas, il
will not be! Not in New York.-S. LOU,
