We all know the man, the mere
grip of whose hand puts new life and
strength into us, and the woman
whose brave cherry smile—amidst
disappointment and trouble—makes
ue ashamed to dispair and to give
up. And should we not resemble
them? it .is, surely, better to be like
a bright, cheerful fire, at which our
friends can warm and\ evive their
drooping hearts, than like the pro
verbial wet blanket which can eff-
eclhally put out the flame of love
and hope.
It’s best to do the work given us
tc do, no matter how distasteful it
mar be, just as well rs it can be
done, not mechanically, but with
the whole heart. If it.is a round of

it pleasant by scattering gleams .of

America Far Americans.
The time has come, as suggested
by Senator Newlands, to have a na
. ioiial policy in respect to the negro.
It has come because of the need of a
nation al policy respecting all races,
that are not white. This is a ceun’
i.ry for the wbito race, and if races
of other colors are permitted to par.
ticipate in its goverement there is
bound to be trouble, sooner or later
A country to be great and strong
must be peopled and governed by
those who love it and have an abund
ance and patriotism. The "brown
and yellow and black races, not as
simiiating with the white, cannot
have much love of countiy if they
are not permitted to have an equal
partin its government, and the white
race isn’t going to consent tb that.
Therefore there is sure to, be . anta*
