M'CAULEY,
Resolved, That the platform adopted

Beware of Speculation.
It will, as the Chicago Record polnte
' out, ho most unfortunate for the
c6Untry If the too rapid return of
prosperity shall brine with It an era
of speculation, which In tlmo must be
followed Inevitably by another period
of panic and disastrous depression.
"Since the beginning of the civil war
nnd the tremendous Inflation of prices
to which It gave rise, speculation,"
rays tbe Record, "has been a curse
to ' the nation. The desire to
tret rich hastily has driven from
; ihe minds of a considerable pro
portion of the people ordinary consid
erations of prudence, and has tended
to: develop habits of extravagance nnd
reckless methods of doing business. It
lind been hoped that the panic of 1S93
would have a healthful Influence In
preventing a revival of tho old gambl
ing spirit. It was thought that when
the country begnn to emerge from the
depths of business depression It would
build upon secure foundations, and that
tho people would seek to accumulate
wealth not by sensational coups, but
by slow and steady efforts along legiti
mate lines. Only so can prosperity be
attained that will be permanent and
free from the shocks of terrifying
panic.
"Hut unfortunately the speculative
oulrit seems to be In the air again. One
reason for Its reappearance Is the sud
den manifestation of returning pros
perity In certain directions, especially
the rapid rise In the prices of wheat.
"Within the last few days fortunes have
been made by many speculators on the
boards of trade. The tendency of all
this Is to make some people discon
tented with the prospect of getting
ahead In the world by steady Industry
directed by business prudence, nnd In
duces them to cast about for some
rapid road to wealth. This leads not
only to speculation, but tends as well
to blunt the sense of honesty. He that
maketh haste to be rich shall not be
Innocent. Probably nothing has done
so much to foster municipal corrup
tion In this country as the spirit of
speculation which worships rapid suc
, cess In wealth-getting without making
any very careful Inquiry as to methods
employed In the process.
"Tho recent gold discoveries In Al
aska and tho Canadian northwest have
nlso served to stimulate the spirit of
speculation, ns such discoveries nlways
do. A few stories from the gold Holds
of fabulous wealth speedily acquired
do much to unsettle steady business
habits nnd make the people easy vls
tlms of pluuslblo adventurers. "What
tho country needs Is a steady growth
on solid foundations of Industry and
prudence. An era of speculation ns
an accompaniment of returning pros
perity must bo deprecated by sober
business men."
To the unprejudiced and disinterest
ed spectator It looks as If tho Hon.
William P. Hanlty had Impaled the
Hon. John M. Carman on a blade ns
keen and true that the victim must
soon surrender the ghost.
Naval Needs.
Mr. Cleveland's secretary of th'o navy,
Hon. Hilary A. Herbeit, who by the
way Is one of the best Informed au
thorities on naval subjects In this coun
try, contributes to the September
Forum a strong plea for naval enlarge
ment. It rests, of course, largely upon
the apprehension, traditional In army
and naval circles, that trouble with a
foreign power may occur at any time.
"A spnik," In Mr. Herbert's opinion,
"can kindle a conflagration among us
Rt any moment. Look at the unanimi
ty with which congress and tho people
Bustalned President Cleveland's Vene
zuela mestage; and at the utterances
Df tho people, the press, and tho United
States senate on the Cuban question.
The house, too, no doubt, would have
ndopted the resolution recognizing the
belligerent rights of the Cubans, if It
had been able to reach a vote. On the
Cuban question, administrations upon
which so much of responsibility rests
have so far been, and are likely here
after to be, more conservative than
congress. But who Is there to affirm
that presidents will always resist tho
demands made upon them for warlike
measures? President Madison natur
ally hesitated In 1812 to declare war
against Great Britain. Tho odds were
fearful; but tho war party compelled
him, just as It compelled Napoleon III
In 1870, King George of Greece In 18D7,
and ns It might compel Spain In the
near future, to a declaration of war."
For the sake of Illustrating1 the In
sufficiency of our present naval force
In the event of war tho ex-secretary
supposes what Is possible though' not
probable a conflict with Japan, arising
out of conditions In Hawaii. Wo havo
now In Pacific waters one battle-ship,
two monitors and ten cruisers and gun
boats, a fleet far Inferior to that which
lapan could easily concentrate, without
reference to the two fast new battle
ihlps which she has recently bought or
the two new cruisers now building for
her at K'swlck. AVo could not there,
fore hold our own against Japan with
jur present Pacific fleet; and to get any
r all of the ships In our Atlantic squad
ron to Honolulu would necessitate u
lourncy of nearly 1G.000 miles requiring
17 days, while only17 days at the most
' would be required 'to concentrato the
Japanese fleet In Pearl harbor. Thus
Japan would have the advantage of 80
lays during which time she could cap
ture Honoluluyind tear tho whole of
Hawaii Into shreds. Mr. Herbert's con
clusion Is: "If wo annex Hawaii, wo
must add largely to our Pacific ilect.
We cannot otherwise defend this out
post, 2,00" miles from our present boun
daries. Regardless, however, of any
question of territorial extension, It
seems to mo that we should add to tho
number of our battle-ships and build
many more torpedo-boats. Certainly
It would not be too much to add, say,
six mora battle-ships to our Atlantic
fleet nnd half as many to tho Pacific.
And seventy-five torpedo-boats would
not be an undue nddltlon to this class
of our vessels. These, It is believed,
should bo built during a programme of
some five years, two battle-ships and
about fifteen torpedo-boats to be laid
down each year."
From this view Home discount should
perhaps be made for th'o natural prone
ncss of a naal man to exaggerate our
naval needs; yet on tho whole tho
warning Is timely and valuable. The
theater of American activities has In
late years so widened and our points of
contact with other peoples have so mul
tiplied and are likely to so multiply In
tho future that It Is simply out of tho
question longer to maintain tho doc
trine cf Isolation and consequently of
indifference to defense which charac
terized tho statesmanship, because It
fitted tho conditions, of the forepart of
the present century. We aro becoming
a world-wide power world-wlde.not in
deed In extent of territory nor In alms
and dreams of conquest, but world
wide In Influence, commerce, the jour
ney'lngs and Intercourse of our citizens
and the dominance of many American
Ideas. All these reasons call for cor
responding naval development not to
make but to prevent trouble.
We wonder that some enterprising
Individual doesn't start a prize guess
ing contest as to what Issue Billy
Bryan will exploit next.
Hebrew Colonization.
It Is not pleasant to record that tho
plan of colonization of Slavic Jews In
Southern New Jersey has not been the
success for which Baron de Hirsch,
Baron Rothschild, and other philan
thropic Jews had held exalted hopes.
The pioneer eclony at Alliance, forty
three miles from Philadelphia, as
tabllshed for refugees from Russia In
18S2, Is not In a flourishing condition.
Many of tho farmers have gone to tho
great cities and have been absorbed
into the sweat shops. Tho same Is
true of th'e residents of Rosenhayn,
where abandoned houses and desolate
garden plots Illustrate the discourage
ments of the colonists at the start.
These results aro said to arise from
the Insufficient acreage of land appor
tioned among the settlers and the In
cubus of building associations which
devoured their possessions. Large and
Increasing families and Inability to
meet financial obligations soon wrought
woe to the colonists.
At Woodbine, the settlement under
the Immediate control of the trustees
of the Boron de Hirsch fund, a more
encouraging prospect is noted and It
proves that the colonization theory of
these noble representatives of tho He
brew race was really not visionary but
after some years of practical develop
ment shows prosperity, Industry and
sanitary conditions well worthy of
emulation In more favored localities.
The Philadelphia Record narrates an
Incident showing how little things often
count In trade. Some time ago tho
Baldwin Locomotive works were ship
ping engines to a South American
country where the ties are made of
mahogany, and where the most beauti
ful hard woods aro found in such
abundance that they are used for fuel.
Packing cases were being made to con
tain various parts of the locomotive out
of tho cheapest grades of hemlock and
pine. Some representatives of the
South American railroad happened to
visit the Baldwin works while tho
cases were being nailed together, and
they requested the manager to use
screws Instead of nails; for, they said,
"we value this wood so highly In our
country that we save every scrap and
use It for ornamental purposes. Our
workmen are Instructed to open the
cases with great care, but sometimes
they cannot withdraw nails without In
juring the wood." The difference be
tween screws and nails In packing
cases, In other words, measured tho
difference between pleased and dis
pleased customers. Many great suc
cesses in business date back to similar
trifles.
It is now definitely established that
the recent Interview In the New York
World with Secretary Sherman, in
which the latter was quoted as making
several Indiscreet and undiplomatic
remarks reflecting on Spain, England
and Japan, was In essential features a
deliberate falsehood. It was the talk
of two continents for a few days, but
now the odium of the deception prac
ticed Is beginning to settle upon the'
World, nnd It Is questionable If such
Journalism pays. Tho man who would
deliberately seek to embroil his country
In trouble by falsification In print de
serves to be treated little better than
the traitor or tho spy.
The general passenger agent of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company Is on
record with the assertion that that
company during tho years 1893 and 1896,
on Its lines west of Pittsburg, made
no profit whatever on Its passenger
business nnd had difficulty, Indeed, In
coming out even. The people had no
money with which to travel. But the
times are fast changing in this- respect.
Those roads now havo trouble In find
ing suitable accommodations for tho
crowds that wish to bo transported.
"McKinley prosperity" Is no Joke with
the Pennsylvania Railroad company.
A Methodist newspaper has ascertained)
that the average salary of preachers of
that denomination In tho south Is only
JJ73.33 per year. Washington Post.
The fact that bright men who In
other vocations could If they chose
earn Ave to ten times that Income de
liberately embrace tho mission of the
ministry nnd accept uncomplainingly
Its undeniable hardships Is proof that
there Is a good deal moro nobility of
character and unselfishness of Inspira
tion In this old world than many crltlca
give It credit for. Wealth is not the
only reward of life.
Mrs. Smith, a Boston reformer, In a
memorial petitioning the publlo not
to elect bachelors to ofTlce, says there
arc 47,000 girls of marriageable age In
Massachusetts alone who cannot find
husbands. But on the other hand
there are probably 50,000 bachelors
In certain western states who cannot
llr.d wives. It Is our system of distri
bution which Is at fault. Evidently
tho need of the times Is for n, govern
ment matrimonial agency.
Good news Is brought from Cuba by
the correspondent, Mr. Bryson, whom
Weyler lately expelled. He says the
Cubans are now stronger and the Span
lards weaker than ever before and that
even many of the Spanish residents of
Havana, tho merchants and thoso In
business, would prefer American an
nexation to continued rule by Spain.
Allowing for bias, this la still encour
aging. Something ought soon to drop
In Cuba.
Senator Wellington has received a
severe thump In tho loss of the Repub
lican stato executive committee In
Maryland; but It will take more than
one strong blow to put him out of the
field. Perhaps he will now havo tho
discretion to get In line with party sen
timent and desist from his Impossible
attempt to Impersonate the entire party
In Maryland.
It Is announced that Walter Well-
man contemplates another nttempt to
And tho North Pole. Mr. Wellman will
be more likely to convert a first rate
newspaper man Into a third-rate ex
plorer than to find either the Pole or
anything else worth finding. He Is too
good a man to be sacrificed to this ab
surd Arctic fad.
Mr. Dana's advice to young news
paper men Is embodied In tho epigram;
"Tell the truth and shame the devil."
It Is pretty good advice for all sorts
and conditions of men.
THE KLONDIKE GOLD BUQ.
Editorials nnd Nows.
Joaquin Miller Isn't hero nt all. Ho is
over at Juneau living on tho fut of tho
land. Ho will write his tetters at a swell
hotel (J17.W per day) with his feet In tho
oven of a dccltash range and his throat
dono up In red flannel. "Waukccn" Is
cultivating an extra crop of curls In view
of tho cold weather.
Tho "Bug" has a rival In the Klondiko
field of Journalism. Tho new paper has
been started solely for the purpose of
blackmailing hortst citizens of this vicin
ity. Tho editor of tho "Klondonlan," tho
paper referred to, la a dirty, mean sneak,
and as ho Is getting some of our adver
tising wo feel It our duty to warn tho
public against him.
Mr. Slatter, of tho pavlllion, has ful
filled tho "Bug's" predictions regarding
tho wretched entertainments at his so
called theater. Mile. Do Ville, tho much
heralded French "dansuese," Is about tho
biggest fako of tho season. Mile. De Ville,
who Is an elderberry brunette, Instead of
blondo as advertised. Is no more French
than wo aro. Tho "Bug" has ascertained
that her right name Is Betsy Scrogglns
and that her father was captain of a boat
on tho Brio canal. Wo dislike to speak
so plainly about a lady, but Betsy should
r.ever attempt to dance. There Is no
question that sho has bunions on both
feet. Betsy's n?urance In assuming that
a canal boat cook can metamorphose her
self into a ballet dancer by draw
ing on a pair of bluo tights and a few
other articles of clothing not worth men
tioning, Is simply appalling! We aro as
tonished that tho intelligent and refined
public will tolerate such an entertain

Do you want a government oftlco? Now
Is tho tlmo to hustle if you do. Tho

at tho national lntelllgt nee office for sev
eral days collecting fresh facts of In
terest and value to seekers after ofllces
Included under tho newly extended and
newly protected classified service.
o
The fall examinations in New Orleans
will bo held on Oct. 0 and Oct. 23. On Oct.
0 applicants will be examined for posi
tions as bookbinder, clerk (departmental
service), compositor, clectrotyper (all
kinds), elevator conductor, Janitor, mes
senger, pressman, railway mall clerk,
skilled laborer (male and female), steno
grapher, stcreotyper, stock examiner, tag

in tho Indian service. What more of a
variety of good positions from which to
select could you reasonably ask for?
o
If you wish to competo for one of these
offices, hero are somo timely hints which
will aid you greatly. In tho first place,
you want to get Immediately to work.
Those to be held on the dates mentioned
aro what are termed tho "ordinary" civil
servico examlratlons. They aro held
periodically in the spring and fall of each
year. You must mako an average of at
least 70 on your examination before you
can pass, but you will have little prospect
of appointment unless you rank some
where In tho nlrettes. To pass an ordinary
civil service examination In most cases
simply amounts to tho entrance of your
namo upon a large register of ellglbles
kept nt tho Civil Service commission's
headquarters In Washington. Registers of
ellglbles aro now kept for nearly every
position included In the classified service.
Examinations to fill vacancies for which
thero Is no provision are called as soon
as the vacancy oxlsts. If you wish to be
Informed when a particular ofllce In this
category becomes vacant you may be so
accommodated after you have applied to
tho commission for an " application for
Information," which you must till out nnd
return. There are few chances nowadays
for Inexperienced persons to reach high
departmental position Immediately
through the civil service examinations.
Tho practice of filling the higher grado
ofllce a, such as of chiefs of division, by
transferlng or promoting experienced men
already In gbvernmen employ U becoming
more and more the practice of the present
Administration. Two assistant secretar
ies have already been appointed In this
way. Your examination having been
pubted, your entrance Into tho classified
servico Will most likely be through the
lower grades. You will havo no choice
respecting salary. That of tho usual on
tranco grado is (MO,
o
Having decided upon tho nature of the
examination you desire to take this fall,
you must Immediately state your selec
tion to tho Civil Service commission, and
at tho same tlmo must wrlto to them for
on. application blank. This will be fur
nished you ptomptly. It must then be
filled out and returned to the commission
sufficiently early for it to bo received at
least ten days In advanco of tho time of
tho examination. It would bo wlso to send
In tho completed blank a considerable
tlmo In odvnrce of this ten-day llmlt.lt ts
very likely that It will bo returned to j ou
for completion or correction. A ticket ad
mitting you to tho examination will not
bo Issued unless the blank in absolutely
correct form Is received In the time speci
fied. You will bo notified of the address
where tho examination Is to bo held,
whither you murt repair on tlmo, taking
with you a typewriter and stand, It need
ed, and all necessary Instruments and sta
tionery. Undo Sam will furnish only pa
per. Whether you pass or fall you will not
be permitted to tako another examination
In tho samo subject before a year has
elapsed, or, nt least, until the next regu
lar examination occurring In a corres
ponding season of tho year. You need
not anticipate learning your marks soon
after your oxamtnattaon papers havo been
handed In, Thrro or lour monins are
likely to elapso beforo you will hear of
your averages. Bear in mind once more
that, unless vou make a very high mark,
your chances for appointment will bo
small, granting even tnnt you pass, in u
probability your namo will remain upon
tho list of ellglbles until erased by eter
nity. New rames will bo constantly
added to this, and many may go above
yours.
You must not labor under tho delusion
that tho Civil Service commission can glvo
you nn appointment. It cannot appoint.
It simply recommends. After all It Is It
tlo moro than an employment agency for
the government. When a vacancy occur
In a department the appointing olllcer ap
plies to tho Civil Servico commission for
the names of the three highest cllglbles,
and ho Is at liberty to select any one of
tho three he may prefer, regardless of
rank. That is tho wholo process tn a
nutshell. The gauntlet having been run,
lucky Indeed Is ho who bhall havo reach
ed tho coal.
roil linTTEK GOVERNMENT.
Mayor Bailey and tho members of tho
city councils havo received Invitations
to attend tho nntlonal convention of
mayors and councllmen to be held at
Columbus, Ohio. Sept. 28. to Oct. 1. Tho
arrangements for tho gathering aro In
the hands of a general committee com
posed of thlrty-slx mayors and twenty
four councllmen, representing all sec
tions of the country, and a circular let
ter Issued by this committee sets forth
tho objects of the convention as fol
lows: First The formation of a nation
al organization of the chief executives
and members of councils of cities In tho
United States. Second The hearing of
addresses on Important municipal topics
by distinguished speakers. Third Tho
general discussion of all questions per
taining to the administration of all
branches of municipal work by mayors
and councllmen from all parts of the
country. Fourth Tho Interchange of
Ideas and knowledgo on municipal prob
lems, such as will result from tho ex
perienced city officials coming In contact
with each other.
o
It will be observed that tho objects of
tho convention were designed with a. view
to securing a general discussion of all
questions pertaining to municipal ad
ministration by thoso who havo had tho
actual experience In the work tho of
ficials themselves. Such n discussion,
bringing out as it will an Interchange
of original Ideas and knowledgo among
men experienced in city government, can
not fall to result beneficially to tho tax
payers of tho cities which will be rep
resented by their officials at this con
vention. Tho convention will deal with
such Important topics as tho granting of
street railway, gas, electric and other
franchises and the control of and rev
enues deprived from corporations enjoy
ing such special franchises; tho collec
tion and disposition of garbage, which
Is a branch of municipal work still In the
experimental stage; the relative merits
of the various street-paving materials,
Including cedar block, brick, granlto,
Medina block, asphalt block and the dif
ferent kinds of sheet asphalt; the clean
ing of streets, which Is still a vexatious
problem in many cities; tho municipal
ownership of lighting plants and tho
cost of street lighting under tho con
tract system; tho municipal management
of public water supplies and tho neces
sity for water filtration; llro and police
protection, parks and playgrounds, mu
nicipal finances, taxation and special as
sessments, tho regulation of tho social
and saloon evil', etc. It Is not Intended
to mako this a municipal "reform" con
vention, but a meeting of experienced
city officials for tho dissemination of
facts rather than theories.
The local committees at Columbus are
making elaborato preparations for the
entertainment of visitors, and the gener
al committee Is desirous of having every
city of any importance In tho United
States send its mayor and as largo a
delegation as possible from Its councils
to tho convention. Tho expense of tho
trip will bo money spent In tho cause
of economical city government.
