What a fine thing it will be when the party papers can see something besides narrow partisanship in a state paper written by a member of the opposing party. There are about 6,000 post offices in the United States managed by women. Yv'op't it be a pleasant task for the incoming administration to begin by cutting off their official heads? ____________ The candidacy of Mrs. Lease.for the Kansas senatorship seems to have outgrown the proportions of a joke since a number of the Populists are now supporting her and promise to go to Topeka’to forrh a ''lobby” for her support when the legislature meets. Extra sessions have not been a common occurrence in our history. There have been fifty-two Congresses and eleven extra sessions. These have all been called on occasions of great urgency, mostly on account of some foreign complication. Congressman Holman is giving considerable trouble to members who have public building bills in their pockets. It was supposed at the last session that the present session was to be very liberal in its grants for private bills, but Holman has begun again a plan which promises the same “economical” plan of last j^ear. A strong effort will be made at the present session for the admission Of Arizona, New Mexico and Utah, and possibly Oklahoma, to statehood. Congress cannot afford to act hastily in the matter, especially in the consideration of Utah’s claim. At present the territory is under the control of the federal government, and the Edmunds law has acted as a powerful agent in the suppression of polygamy. To admit Utah as a state would be to transfer this control from the general to the local government. Unless Congress can feel sure that polygamy will be put down by the new state if admitted, she can well afford to let Utah wait. Our government cannot afford to have a single member of the great sisterhood marred by so foul a blot as that which Mormonism has imposed upon the territory of U tab. No country has ever been so liberal as ours in pensioning its soldiers. Our pension bills now cost our country as ranch as the combined standing armies of England and Germany and af much as France and Italy spend on their armies. Wo constantly hear of the burdens of these armies in Europe interfering with her commercial and financial prosperity. Hut no serious interference is felt in our country. The reason is that the large majority of cur pensioners are tax-payers also. Very few are wholly dependent upon their pension for a living. They are not withdrawn from the active in-' dustrial ranks as are the European armies, but they belong to the producers, those who are actively engaged in adding to the nation's wealth. Our country has been liberal and can afford to be liberal in its treatment of those who upheld the Hag ia ianal ei pel'll.

We are peculiarly subject in our great ports tyi the spread of the infectious diseases by reason of the fact that unrestricted immigration brings to us out of European cities in the over-crowded steerage of great steamships a large number of persons whose surroundings make them the easy victim of the plague. This consideration, as well as those affecting the political, moral and industrial interests of our country lead me to renew the suggestion that admission to our country and to high privileges of its citizenship should be more restricted and more careful. We have, I think, a right and owe a duty to our own people, and especially to our working people, not only to keep out the vicious, the ignorant, the civil pauper, and the contract laborer, but to check the too groat flow of immigration now coming further by limitations. —Harrison’s Message. " The improvement of our navy during the present administration as shown in Secretary Tracy’s recent report is gratifying to every American who wishes to see his country placed in a position where she can adequately defend herself in case of foreign attack. At the opening of the administration our navy amounted to very little, though work in the right direction had been begun. Nineteen have been added and eighteen more are in process of construction and oertain to be completed in the next year if their armor is delivered. The improvement is»remarkable when we consider that we began a few years ago with almost nothing. But there is much still to be done. European nations are adding to their armaments and we must be prepared to cope with them should a contest arise. Our commerce in the is.thmus is battling hard for an existence. The old world is extending its power and influence by annexations and protectorates in the South Pacific. Subsidized lines of fast steamers are adding to the means of rapid communication. Under the circumstances it seems prudent that the construction of the navy so well begun be carried on in the future. The plan upon which Secretary Tracy has worked has been the construction of vessels of three principal types: First, the armored battle-ship of 10,000 or more tons; second, the armored cruiser of from 8,000 to 9,000 tons, and, third, the commerce-protecting and destroying cruiser of speed, of 7,500 tons. These, with the torpedo boats recommended and the smaller vessels for interior service, will afford a protection wdiich we have not had for years. George Gould promises to be a worthy successor to his father as a financier. Jay Gould has been training him with a view to having him as a successor to his vast fortune. He carefully instilled into his mind two principles, one that in business there must be no sentiment; “Let the man you are dealing with look out for himself; you look out for yourself.” To Mr. Gould this was the necessary principle of every business man. His second principle was that credit must bo maintained at any cost —not esteem, or faith in his word, but business credit, bankers’ credit, a credit that never repudiated obligations when caught in a corner. George Gould was carefully trained. Responsibilities were gradually placed upon him. Mr. 6-ould said that his never failed to meet every responsibility in exactly the right way. Smaller tests were followed by larger ones until the younger Gould became executive officer in many corporations. His ambition was kindled and he desired to become known as a financier. He wishes not to be known as Jay Gouldls son, but as George Gould. | If he succeeds in carrying out his j ambition he promises to become as 1 great a financier as was his father. Or, if Commodore Vanderbilt’s words to his son, “It is harder to keep a great fortune than it is to make one,” be true, and the younger Could succeeds iu keeping or in aiding to his

inherited fortune, he will rank as a greater giant than his father. In the life of every individual and of every nation there come times which arc turning points of lif*. Some decision with reference to education, some choice made when wo were young and inexperienced may have changed the whole tenor of the life. A marriage, a death, a change of scene'and occupation, a tide of prosperity or a reversal of fortune, a serious illness, a sudden accident, a change in modes of thought may have changed the world for us. But the influence of these events themselves is far less than the effect of our reception of them. Man is not the creature of circumstances wholly, but his will is given him that he may rise above conditions. He may not be able to control the waves, but ho can trim his sails so as to ride on the billows and not be engulfed by them. One crisis calls for caution, another for self-reliance, another for judgment. So one by one all the powers are called into action and these apparent times of testing may be made to result for our benefit. The preparation for such crises is in the formation of our daily habits. We cannot suddenly call to our aid in a severe test any powers which we have not cultivated. But let empowers bo trained by careful and assiduous daily exercise and in the time of testing they will not fail us. Headache is the direct result of indigestion and stomach disorders. Remedy these by using De Witt’s Little Early Risers, and your headache disappears. The favorite, little pills everywhere. S. Stapp & Son. ******** A CLUB!
