SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Lack of Preparation.

Lack Of Preparation.
In history you'll often read
About a bright career
Whose owner did not feel the need
With toll to perSevere.
Caligula found no applause.
And Nero made us sob
At what he did; and all because
He never learned his job.
How often has the man Of might
In selfishnesS so gay,
Disdainful of all sense of right,
To shame pursued his way!
He did not undertake to find
The impulses that throb
In every fellow mortal's mind.
He never learned his job.

magnificent address, with apparently
the highest credentials, and with an
adroit and seemingly perfect answer to
every move made by MesSrs. Waterlow
to establish the bona f1deS of the trans
action. The crown of this man Ma
rang's achievements was when he sue
ceeded in the most natural manner pos
sible in providing his own courier fer
the letter very properly addressed by
MeSsrS. Waterlow to the governor Of the
Bank of Portugal The result was that
these bank notes were circulated on an
enormous scale and that MesSrs. Water
low are mulcted in heavy costs and in
damages running into hundreds of
thousands of pounds. 1t need scarcely
be added that not a breath of suspicion
falls on the honesty and probity of an
honored business name.

Depravity Must
Sooner or Later Meet Doom.
North-China Herald. Shanghai.-It is
evidently quite a mistake TO suppose
that the Chicago authorities are power
less in the face of gangsterS and their
deeds-one of the Capone contingent
has just been sentenced to three years
Imprisonment for avoiding the payment
OF income tax. That shows you that
depravity must sooner or later meet its
uoom-and 1t Is also a reminder OF how
man goes from bad to worse, as was
pointed out by De Quincy long ago in
a well known passage from Murder as
a Fine Art" 1t begins, you see, with
an innocent little assassination, a
"bumping-off" of some trivial, but in
convenient, person that was hardly
thought of at the time. But the
bumpers character had nevertheless
received a slight but permanent set
back; and, so far from being able to
dismiss 1t with the cheerful reflection,
And another little bump wouldn't do
Jus sany harm" the process was insidi-
ously continued with each successive
assassination. Little by little the rot.
once started, would emerge in other
ways; the gangSter would become care
less about his expense accounts, and
then not too punctilious in the payment
of his telephone bill or dog license.
Then, at last, it gets to avoiding the
payment of income taX--and, sadly but
Sternly. the outraged law must sit up
and take some notice 1t is all very
distressing-but 1t only shows how easy
1t is to get started on the downward
path.

Opinions are expressed on the Chicago
Board Of Trade that the Government
ought not to try to influence the market
prices OF grain by issuing edicts. After
all, those who compose the Government
are individually only human No mortal
wisdom has yet sufhced, after many
experiment, to produce methods OF
absolute certainty in controlling the
market.

A good laugh has its value in restoring
health. King George is said to have
been amused by the defeat OF Mayor
Thompson, who has been highly antag-
oniStic to the British Empire. Thomp-
son is not an ill-natured man and will
probably find no fault If his defeat has
done something toward assisting the
physicians now attending the King.

Poison Intended for Bride.

Galdo, Province OF Benevento, that a
woman who. in spite of all her efforts

her son to young lady against whom
she had formed prejudice resolved to
avenge herself for her failure and dis
appointment. She mixed some poison
with the wines served at the bridal
least, and as a result some 20 persons
were affected. The condition Of several

OF the deed has been arrested. It is
clear now, even to the most obtuse, that
this woman objected exceedingly to the
marriage. Strangely enough, the bride

Highligghts on the Wide World
Excerpts From Newspapers of Other Lands

I'll UNIVERSAL, Mexico City.-Re-
L ports from Guatemala indicate
that the government there Is
IL about to adopt the same policy
with reference to MsXicanS of
the laboring class as has been put in
force in the United States-that is, the
Guate4nalan authorities will require
them to return to Mexico. There are
rs. 600 to 80 900 Mexican families living
on the great coffee plantations in Los
Altos Province, all alarmed at the
prospect of deportation. Like other
countries. Guatemala is disposed be-
cause of economic conditions to expel
foreigners.
Unemployed Lose
Sympathy by Conduct.
The Evening Post, Wellington.-The
conduct of section of the unem-
ployed-we hope 1t is small section
is likely to forfeit public sympathy.
Noisy demonstrations, whether directed
against the prime minister, the hospital
board or representatives OF organized
labor prove nothing except that the
leadership of some of the voorhees, has
been seized by men who are mainly
bent on making trouble. The refusal TO
work in return for sustenance granted
by the hospital board must have sim
liar effect on public opinion. Public
sympathy for the voorhees, is based en-
the belief that the men are really
anxious to work-that they do not
want something for nothing. The ma
iority, we believe, are Of this way OF
thinking, and would have been per-
fectly willing to perform the work as
signed to them had they not been
coerced We can understand the views
4 Fnn II a
distress should be used as means OF
reducing wages, but we do not think
the arrangement between the hospital
board and the City Council Is open TO
attack on this account. The work done
by the unemployed Is net essential. The
council has no funds to pay for 1t, and
would not do it in the ordinary course.
II the quantity of work demanded is
too great, that is a different point
which should be easily settled. We can
not see. however that there is a great
principle at stake, especially when the
labor leaders who supported the unem-
ployed raised no protest against susie
nance being worked out on the hospital
board property. Wellington City Coun-
ell is the biggest contributor of hospital
board funds Except the government
and the city is not really getting some
thing for nothing out OF the arrange
refusal and protest will be the impress
sion widely created that some OF the
leaders Of the unemployed are keener
on finding grievances than finding So
buttons. This impression does an IN
Justice to many. Their cause is injured
by their leadership.

braska has taken sides with the South
ern Democrats against Mr.. RaSkob and
his recommendations. The Nebraska
Senator is, 1t seems, looking to the
Democratic party for his candidate for
President in 1892 since he apparently
expects the denomination of President
Hoover and has declared that a third
party is not feasible now. He is I'M
dertaking to head OF Mr.. Raskob's
plan to place a home rule" plank
in the Democratic national plat
form and also to prevent Mr.. RaSkob
from nominating Democrat who,
Senator Norris insists, stands with Mr..
Hoover on water power and other eco
nomic questions. Senator Norris does
not name this Democratic candidate,
but it is understood he has reference
to owen D. Young, whom Mr.. Raskob
is reported to be favoring for the presi-
Dental nomination. Mr.. Raskob in
sistS, however that he is not advancing
the interest Of any candidate at this
time.
The Democrats must make up their
minds whether they wish to 60 along
with the Progressive Republicans, like
Senator Norris, in the coming cam
paign. If they do, they will have to
keep away from Young, Gov. Richie OF
Maryland and other potential candi-
dates for the presidential nomination
whom the Progressives consider reac-
tionary. Again, the Democrats must de-
eide whether they prefer to cement a
union between the South and the West
or between the South and the North
and East. Senator Norris, by his state
ments, has clearly pointed that out. If
the Democrats are not willing to take
Gcv. Franklin d. Roosevelt of New York
for their candidate, who seems to fill
the bill so far as Senator Norris and
other Progressives are concerned. then
they might turn to Senator Norris him.
