Recent Washington dispatches
brought a story from the Wash
ington Post to the* effect that the
Democratic National Committee
is soon to meet in Washington for
deliberation. The purpose of the
meeting, as the story goes, will be
to shelve Bryan as a possible can
didate for the presidential nomi
nation in 1904.
We don’t know whether tnere is
really anything in*the story or
not. Mr. Charles A. Walsh, of
Iowa, secretary of the Democrat
ic National Committee, has seen
fit and thought it proper to give
out a dehial as to the reported
purpose of the meeting.
For one, we regard him as the
ablest, purest and most consis
tent Democrat leader in the coun
try today, but it is. evident that
the people of the country are not
ready to make such a man presi
dent. Those of us who take
things political as we find them
rather than as we would like to
have them are therefore willing
to give up Bryan as a president
ial possibility. As a presidential
candidate he has had his day, and
practically Democrats who plan to
beat the Republicans in 1904 will
look for another candidate, re
gardless. of what their honest
ojnnion of Bryan may be.
But in this January meeting of
the National Democratic Commit
tee intended to launch a boom for
someboby else—Grover Cleveland,
for instance,? Mr. Cleveland has
recently loosed his tongue, after a
sullen silence extending through
two presidential campaigns, and
the gratuitous advice which he has
promulgated with great ostenta
tion leads to the suspicion that he
is yearning for another inning at
the fleshpots.
We are willing to give up Bry
an, the honest man and incorrup
tible, uncompromising tribune of
the common people, but it must
not be for the purpase of taking up
Cleveland, the egotistical, sordid,
unscrupulous worshiper of the
golden calf. There are those in
the party—but they are not
among the loyal “rank and file”-
who will want to bring out Cleve
land as the presidential candidate
in 1904, but they had as well talk
about changing the course of the
gulf channel or of eliminating the
natural prejudice that exists be
tween Anglo-Saxons and Etheopi-
ans.
Bryan has probably had his day
as a presidental candidate. He
will continue to be a factor in the
politics of the country while he
lives, however. Cleveland has had
his day not only as a presidential
candidate, but as a political fac
tor ; for the rank and file of the
party which honored him by
twice electing him to the highest
office in the country feel that he
betrayed them and wrecked their
it Girdles tlie Globe.

If you want knowledge you
must toil for it; if food, you must
toil for it c and if pleasure, you
must toil for it. Toil is the law.
Pleasure comes through toil and
not by self-indulgence and indo
lence. When a man gets to love
work his life is a happy one.
The merited reputatiop for cur
ing piles, sores and skin diseases
acqnired by DeWitt’s Witch Hazel
Salve has led to the making of
worthless counterfeits. Be sure to

Self-Respecting Farmers.
Southirn Farm Magazine.
It may be stated as an indispu
table truth that no man ever suc
ceeded at farmining who was
ashamed of his crops. A man
whose farm ia so poor or whose
tillige is so bacF that his crops are
worthless had better abandon his
calling and get at something else.
If his land is poor he should en
rich it. If he neglects to work his
crops well he is a failure already.
There is an intense pleasure to the
intelligent farmer to so direct the
operation on his farm as to pro
duce crops of which he will be
proud. He then rejoices in his
vocation. His mind is ever on the
alert for new improvements either
for fertilizing his soil or for culti
vating his crops.
Nor is this peculiar to farming
A man to succeed in any thing
must take a pride in it. It must
occupy his best thoughts and en>
e-rgies. His inquiries and reading
must be directed to the gathering
of fresh knowledge upon the sub
ject. He must feel that it is his
vo cation for life. Failures more
often come from a want of de
cision of character than from
a want of knowledge or en
ergy, and a want of decis
ion comes from a want of pride
A young man reads law, for in
stance, but when he comes to the
hard work of studying his cases
and preparing for trial he loses
the proud consciousness of diffi
culties surmounted and of the
crown of honor which awaits him,
and dwells only on the hardships
of his chosen profession. He grows
tired of it and takes no pride in
unraveling the intricacies of the
cases submitted to him. Such a
man cannot succeed at law.
A young farmer begins what at
the time he thinks his life-work
will be, but the hot suns of sum
mer or the low price of produce or
the effect of some devastatin storm
change his mind and he begins to
regret his choice. Such men can
not succeed in life. They lack
fixedness of purpose and resolu
tion to surmount difficulties. The
lawyer, to succeed, must glory
in the difficulty of his work, for
in overcoming difficulties he is
molding his character and mind
to a higher standard of work. A
farmer should take a deep pride
in succeeding in spite of all ad
verse influences and circumstan
ces.
A young man is reported that
last spring had his first planting
of corn eaten np by the cut-worms.
He planted again and a disas-
trons flood swept over his fields
and distroyed his crop. The third
time he planted late in June, and
he has macfe one of the largest
corn crops in the. country. This
young man’s character has deriv
ed great benefit from his misfor
tunes. It has been strengthened,’
and hereafter he will never strike
sail to a calamity.
The moral effect of success up
on character is as great as the ef
fect of failure, but in a contrary-
direction. Success strengthens
the will; failure weakens it. Suc
cess inspires confidence; failure
destroys it. Success elevates; fail
ure depresses. Success knows no
failure; failure knows Uo success.
Pride a in calling is the surest
guarantee of succes. We should
like to see all our farmers taking
a pride in their business. This
pride is exhibited in good bams
and good fences, in well kept
grounds, in the appearance of
stock and in the excellence of the
crops. In whatever a farmer takes
the greatest pride, in that he will
make the greatest success, wheth
er it; be his crops or his stock, his
fence or his hnnses. It is said
that pride goes before a fall, but
this is the pride of vanity and
not the pride of merit.

The Twentieth Century Woman.
“We are twentieth century wo
men at last, with the dower of
privilege and responsibility which
enriches women in this wonderful
era, and I have no hesitation in
declaring that we are more fortu
nate than any of our predeces
sors,” writes Margaret E. Sangs-
ter, in the January Ladies’ Home
Journal. ‘ ‘ Our grandmothers an d
great-grandmothers were handi
capped in their girlhood byathpu-
sand prejudices and cast-iron tra
ditional rules, from which we are
emancipated. They had neither
our wide field of activity nor our
immunity from nervous irritation.
The heroines of the past took cold
if exposed to a.shower; they could
not walk over a frosty meadow be
cause of their thin kid shoes, and
came into the house muddy and
bedraggled after a morning’s
tramp, which we would take with
out the slightest inconvenience in
our short skirts and thick boots.”
Foreigners Beware.
The case was one of assault, and
the magistrate, fearing that it might
be the. beginning of another out
break of Hooliganism, was inclined
to be severe, says London Answers.
‘‘For the second time,” he said,
addressing the prisoner, “you are
charged with assaulting your neigh
bor. The evidence shows that you
deliberately and without any appa
rent canse whatever struck the com
plainant with your clenched fist.”
“Faith, yer honor,” cried Pat, “if
Oi did he struck me back agin!”
“But he only did so in self-de
fense,” said the judge.
“An’ 1 what about me?” asked Pat.
“All about you,” answered the
judge, “is that you are found guilty
and must therefore keep the peace
toward all Her Majesty’s subjects
for twelve months.”
“Well, then,” roared Pat, as he
left the court, “Heaven help the
first forriner Oi meet.
