LD., Writes the Third of the Series of LETTERS TO TODKG CIT1ZEKS. The Necessity of a Standard in Forming Judgments of lien. STATESMEN OP THE PRESENT CENTDET Tour political ideal you may find in a y' statesman, in a State, or in some feature or condition, real or imaginary, in a State, conceived as admirable and desirable. The. most attractive and therefore the most in spiring and controlling of all political ideals are those which are incarnate in men. Of these last alone let us here speak. Your choice of your ideal (whether in politics or elsewhere) will in part reflect your own present character and in part it will react powerfully to affect and conform your char acter. You will inevitably ever more and more like what you habitually contemplate and admire. Hence it is of the highest im portance to you that you choose your ideal wisely. Naturally, you will look first near yon to find your ideal. Your ideal will very likely be some political leader of your own country and time. It may even not improbably be some political leader whom you have heard speak perhaps one with whom you are personally acquainted. Iq such a case, you may hardly know that he is indeed your ideal; but your ideal he will be nevertheless, and all the more effectively tbathe is uncon sciously such. You cannot do better than to arouse Tourselt, bring yourself up short, with the question, the challenge, who is, without my knowing it, or with, my political ideal? Then the lurther question: Is he worthv? "Why worthy? Is he the worthiest? For no man is to be accounted worthy to occupy a place like that in your thoughts, your imaginations, unless he be the noblest type of political leader that exists. Only the worthiest is worthy. See to it that you shall have chosen the worthiest. Do Not Be Dazzled by Nearness. Now, of course, in order to make quite sure that you choose the worthiest, you need to have a wide range and variety of examples from which to choose. Enlarge therefore your horizon. Sweep round the farthest circuit that you can bring yourself to command. Bead history and biography. Co not suffer yourselt to be dazzled by near ness in the object yon contemplate. Ex plore other times, other countries, than your own. Say to yourself, I will prefer those statesmen as candidates for enthrone ment in the kingdom of my imagination who have finished their career and whose character and achievements have under gone the test of time. It will give brradtn and scope to your view, it will give tone and life to your faculty, if you willread Plutarch's "Lives." That book is a great nurture for generous ideals in the soul. Antique, old-fashioned, obsolete, do you say? Antique, yes; obso lete, never. The form and the conditions of life have changed since those lives were lived, since those lives were written. But the essence of things does not change so easily. Human nature abides the same. And the spirit, the power of that ancient hook ot Plutarch's will never be out of date. He bad a generous admiration of the cener ' ous, a sympathetic appreciation of that which was magnanimous and high, that will communicate itselt bvcontagion to you. The Necessity of a Stand. But you will not go amiss to read any celebrated statesman's life. To do this, and to do it in a great many instances, is one of the best ways you can take of reading his tory. Be careiul all the time to give your admiration only to what is truly admirable. Success will often tend to dazzle and be wilder you to bribe your judgment, to con fuse your conscience. You need a standard by wbich to form your estimates of men. This standard you must create lor yourself. It will at length become your ideal. You will form it by combination and composi tion from many models. It will be better, at least, I think, fairer, purer, higher, more nearly perfect, than an individual model' that tou find existing in the actual world of men living or dead. You live in a century, now drawing to its close, which has been rich in remarkable statesmen. There are the Italian (Sardin-' ian) Cavour, whose achievement was the unification and nationalization of Italy. His ik a career worth vour studying. There is Bismarck, whose work it was, more than any other one man's though several re markable men co-operated with him to the one great end to produce out of the polit ical disintegration that was Germany, the present colossal, overtopping German Em pire. A mighty practical Cscsarist, Bis marck, in striking contrast to the statesmen of England and America. The Career of Gladstone. By the way, it is of the happiest omen for young America and young England that such a career unparalleled for length and hardly paralleled for pure and beneficent renown, as that of Gladstone, is even yet rnnning, though necessarily now near to the finish, before their eyes. The brilliant contrast to him for many years subsisting side by side in Disraeli, affords the finest opportunity of studying Gladstone, with the advantage of a loil to set him off in his own peculiar character. The moral catas tropho that has apparently ended the great career in statesmanship that only a few months ago it looked as if Sir. Parnell was destined to achieve, teaches a pregnant les son in the value of personal as affecting public character. His ezample signally shows how unsafe it is to take for your ideal statesman a man whose career is still un finished. "Count no man happy till he. dies" was the wisdom of tbeancient proverb. Judge no man fit to stand for your ideal until death has put it beyond his power to prove himself unworthy; Most happily for the young American citizen, he may ask, after wanderings manv ana me in otner centuries and other countries than his own, in quest of high ex ample in patriotic statesmanship the young American citizen may well, I say, return horn j to find models from which to. mate up his ideal, as noble as any to he met with elsewhere in all the world. It is a great, an incalculably great and precious heritage of pure and inspiring fame, to trhich, as an American, he was born. To name only two, where in the history of mankind are there to be found better names of patriot and statesman than are our own American "Washington and Webster. A Voice We Cannot Disregard. But Abraham Lincoln, too, is a name that cries out in our ears with a voice wbich we cannot disregard. Bead the life of Washington, read the many eulogies in which his transcendent virtues have been set forth and idolized, read his ".Farewell Address" to his fellow-countrymen, and be proud, and glad, and thankful that you, too, are an American. Of the eulogies, too many to be named, I may mention the cele brated one of Edward .Everett's, which that accomplished orator delivered in numerous places all over the TJniou, devoting the proceeds of his disinterested toil to the re demption of Mount Vernon from threatened decay, and the consecration of it for a na tional Mecca to reverent pilgrims from every quarter of the globe. Bead the full two-volume life of Webster, by G. T. Curtis, and, above all, read the six "volumes of Webster's speeches or if not all these, then E. P. Whipple's selection from them, entitled "Webster's Great Speeches." Trnst no defamation that you mar meet 01 his memory, but know h"im himself, and his great works. Such a man is n treasure for you to help keep sacred. Suffer no one to rob you of it by false words spoken against his lame. Bead Abraham Lincoln's in augural address, his Gettysburg, oration comparable, and not inferior to the funeral oration of Pericles over the Athenian dead these utterances, at least, of the martyr President, and then as many more of bis speeches as you can. Choose your political ideal highly, wisely bravely, and may God make you yourself a political ideal to the future higher) wiser, braver, than any ideal you can choose! William C. Wilkinson. Tabrytown, N. Y. THE DISPATCH'S special correspondence from Europe brings a remarkable story of a Frenchman who claimed to be Kins of Patagonia and Anracanla. He granted many titles that American belles who" wish to marry noblemen must look out for. See to morrow's issue. HOW ONE-HALF LIVES. A Wretched Case of Destitution on Pike Street A Consumptive Woman and Half-Clothed Child IJve In a Filthy Boom The Husband's Efforts to Slake Ends Meet. A small room, filthy with accumulations of dirt; on a broken-down bedstead a wretched woman, scarcely clothed and in the last stages of consumption; playing on the floor, a little 8-year-old girl, and laughing, though her pinched cheeks showed the want of proper nourishment. This was the scene that Humane Society Agent O'Brien gazed upon yesterday, in a house in Pike street, between fifteenth and Sixteenth streets. It was a case of destitution, and one wbich is, unfortunately, only too common in the city. The bread-winner of the family is Peter By an. who is employed at the Black Diamond Steel Works at' the magnificent remuneration of $1 50 a day. From all ac counts Evan was a good worker and a steady man, nnd did all in- his power to keep his family respectable, but fate or lock proved too much for him. His wife fell ill, and out of his scanty earnings he had to buy medical attendance and medi cine. He did what he could to keep his room clean and bis children neat, bnt conld not always find time from bis work to do so. Added to his misery was an 11-year-old boy, who was incorrigible, and who -tried to make his father's life as unendurable as possible. The rent of the rood was SI 25 a week, and his wife's attendance cost Byan about $5 a week, so that when he had paid these amounts he had not much left over for food. The neighbors.testify to the truthfulness of Byan's statements. They say, however, that he might have cleaned out his room once in a while, or tried to dispose of the offensive odor which arose from it. Agent O'Brien will try to have the woman ad mitted to St. Francis' Hospital. The De partment ol Charities has been assisting the family for some time. It is believed thai there are .hundreds of such cases within sonnd of the City Hall bell which never find mention in print. A STIT FOE A FORTUNE. Two Oil Men Who Would Like to Get Pos session of 8100,000. James M. Guffey and Michael Murphy yesterday entered suit against Joseph Busu nell to recover $100,000. The money claimed is tbe value of oil alleged to have been obtained by Bushnell from wells on land to which Guffey and Murphy claim to possess the oil and gas rights. The land'in question is in Monongalia county, W. Va. The land was owned by David Wise. In 18S6 he leased it to William Hays, who, in turn, leased it to E. M. Hukill. In 1888 Wise leased the oil and eas richts of the land to B. Calvert, Tind it was leased by him to Guffey and Murphy. Hukill, however, claimed the oil and gas rights, and drilled wells. The oil obtained was sold, and the proceeds placed to the credit of Bushnell as trnstee. Guffey and Murphy last year brought suit in the Circuit Court of West "Virginia for their rights to the land, and judgment was given in their favor. They now seek to recover from Bushnell the money obtained for the oil, which, they assert, belongs to them. ' COL. FRANK A. BURR has been talking to one of Queen Victoria's Ladies in Waiting. In THE DISPATCH to-morrow he will tell all about the royal household. A BIT OF HF.WSPAFEB EHTEBPEISE. The Paper's Force Emigrate to Another Town When Burned Out. Mabquette, Mich., Jan. 23. A fire this evening completely destroyed the Jfin ing Journal Company's plant and the woodworking shops of Hager & Johnson. The fire is now under control.

The Mining Journal force has emigrated iu a body to Ishpeming, and will issue in the morning from the office of the Lake Superior Democrat. The force came on a special train from the South Shore Bailroad beiore tbe flames reached the publishing house. A WEEK'S DELAY AT LINCOLN. The Supremo Court Benders a Decision in the Nebraska Contest. Lincoln, Jan. 23. The joint convention of the Legislature to hear the election con test case met this morning, bnt at once took a recess until 2 p. &., when the decision of the Supreme Court on the legality of -the proceedings will be formally delivered. The court holds that the signatures of the Governor and Lieutenant Governor to the concurrent resolution are necessary to make the acts of tbe joint convention valid. This will necessitate the passage of a new con current resolution, which will delay the hearing of the contest at least one week. SHIRLEY D ABE has been asked to help an able-bodied college graduate into fame. In THE DISPATCH to-morrow she tells the young man to "Root, Hog, or Die." IOWA PEOHD3ITI0NISTB.

A YOUNG COUNTESS ABDUCTED. The Deed Was Done by a Woman for the Sake of Bevenge. New Yoek, Jan. 23. It is stated here that Count George Szirnoy, of Austro-Hun-gary, has been in this city three weeks hunting vainly for bis 17-year-old daughter, who was stolen from a convent abroad by a woman who thns sought revenge. Traces of the yonng Countess have been found in the law dens of Thompson street, where it is believed her abductor placed her, but the girl cannot be found. False Economy.

Judge Slagle yesterday banded down an opinion granting Deputy .Coroner Berry's petition for a writ of alternative mandamns on County Controller Grier to compel him to pay the deputy coroner his salary. In the opinion, Judge Slagle does not decide the questions raised on either side of the case, stating that there are questions that cannot well be properly determined except on the return of the writ, and which were not argued on the hearing of the applica tion for the rule. The Court desires to hear the counsel fully on tbe effect of article 11 of the Consti tution of March 31, 1876, relating to the salaries of officers and their deputys and clerks.

(a) There is hardly any time lost by this odd move unless, perhaps, white in reply should decide to interpose Q Kt Q 2. (b) Wbite did not advance P Q B i because black bad not advanced his Q P. and in sucb a situation black mlht bave answered B Kt 5 cb. and if white's Kt, then interposed be could bave captured the Kt and created a double pawn. Black, after this, might proceed accord ing toWinaver's tactics, refraining carefully from advancing P Q 4. and playing for an end ing in which the two Kts would have the ad vantage because of white's being saddled with tbat double pawn. . (c) Most of tbe European masters adopt this turn into tbe Fiancbetto di'Donna in this open ing but I have never looked upon It with favor. (d)iln my own opinion best, though most of the experts, including Zuckertort, usually played here P Q Kt 3. followed by B Kt 2. (e) Hardly advisable, and, under tbe circum stances. Q KtxQ 2, followed by RxK sq and Kt xKB sq was probably his best plan. (r) Preparing for his next offer of an ex change, and also preventing PxK4, and PxQ 5 eventually. (g) As white sees tbat the adversary enters on exchanging plan, be simply prepares an at tect on tbe Q sido and brings tbo rooks into communication. Obviously BxQ 3, which looks a good move, would only bave lost time. (hi Thhrwas now black's best plan undoubt edly, f or.lf Kt B 3 instead, white would bave opened a tremendous attack by BxQ 3, wbich he coma wen uaun uu uiuiui.tuy wita me aoumeu rooks. on the K 11 file, and those rooks could afterward be brought accordingly to the Kt's file or rook's file. (i)If 21. PxB 4; 22,QxKt 3.RxQ sq;PxP,PxP; 24, KtxB 4, and clearly black dare not fake tbe B on account of the rejoinder. KtxP, and both his center pawns will becomo weak and must fall in the end. (I) Better than 24 RxQ B.sq, on account of the continuation, 24, PxKt 4; 25 QxR6,BxP: with tbe advantage. (kVWhereas now. if 24, BxP. 25 PxB.

(n) Absolutely necessary. If 27. BxKt: 28 BxB, PxR: 29 QxKt 7,followed by RxKt 3 in re ply to QxKt 3 (the only move) and wins. (o) He had hardly anything better, and this opens to him some prospect of attack aeainst tbe K side.

(b) lf8QKt3, black intended to play 8; K Kt K 2: 9 PxP KtxP; 10 KtxKt QxKt; II BxP cb, KQ;with au excellent game, though tbe pawns are even. (c) Of course this prevents black from castling lor a little while, as in that case wbite would answer K BxQ Kt, thereby winning a pawn. (dl B Kt 3 was preferable. lej Thouirh black dare not take that pawn on account of tbe ultimate R K sq, it was far bet ter to retake tbe pawn at once and leave tho center pawns standing abreast, with the option oi auvancing eitner later on. (f ) Hardly a eood move. (e) W bite could havo won a pawn hero by 12 B Kt.B B (of course if 12 KtxB: 13 P Q 5 with a winning attack); 13 P Q 5 recovering tbe pawn with a good game. (h) li 15 BK. 2. white would probably have answered KtQ 2. () P K B 4 at once was superior. (k) A very She rejoinder, which gives white tne pull In a precarions lookine position. (I) If 18, PQB3;19BQ3,QtxsQ;20Ptxs Q, threatening B txs Kt as trell as P B 5 with an excellent game. i (m) Manouverlnz with the pawns on tbe Q side was not advisable. The next move weakens the Q B P, and altbongh there is apparently no danger at present, it is a source of trouble at a later stage. (n) Instead of this, blaok would have done better to -play Q K sq. (o) Black could again have improved his posi tion here by Q K sq. (p) White must bave looked far ahead before taking this pawn, lor in beveral ways bis game looked dangerons after this: but on examina tion it will be found that his position remains sound.

Look at tbe States, the Mountains, the Rivers and the Cities, and you wlllsee a great Object Le'son. You will see the great River of Cnnjumptinn, rising in the Spring of Colds, fluwing down to the Sea of De.it ti and dividing the Stale of Imprudence, the State of Neglect, the Dangerous State, and the Alarming State. You will see many rivers emptying into it as it flows, and you will see one Great Air Line Railroad parallel with its banks. This Bailroad is Dr. Acker's English Remedy. It differs from any other railroad known to the world, in tbat it carries passenjers iu only one direction, namely, back to tbe State of Good Health, where the climate is delightful, tbe air balmy, the scenery charming and the inhabitants happy. Thereis every reason why those who live in the State of Good Health should remain there, but for various causes many carelessly embark upon the dangerous river which rises in its upper part. Down the stream they drift on pleasure or business, careless of their destination and thoughtless of the results. On they go, past the City of Despond ency, still thoughtless. Now they round a dangerous bend, and, looking down the stream, they see the towers of tha Forlorn City. Careless traveler, why will you continue? Stop and take the first train on this Air Line Railroad back to the City of Health. An yet bow few stop. Here the current widens and other rivers pour iu their floods. What ii this land through which the river now runs? It is low, marshy and cold. How different from the scenery of tbe State of Good Health. Why journey farther? Look! directly ahead is tbe City of Woe. But the trains from this locality do not run so frequently as farther up the river,. and yet you can be taken speedily back. But harkl What is that noise that snllen roar? It sounds like falls, and tbe swift current shows too plainly that such is the case. "Can we not land now?" they ask in despair. No. The current is too swift, the falls too near, tbe power of resistance too feeble. Over the falls, down to the depths! Surely it must be death for all. But no, here are a fer, a very few, who have struggled to the shore, and with despairing efforts bave clambered upon its banks. How desolate they are,. and yet just below is tbe City of Last Hope. Few ever reach it to re turn, few who go over the falls survive, while the on-rusblng torrent, cruel and cold, foLU down to the dark. Sea of Death. DR.
