The falluro of tlio Democratic con
vention nt Ilurrlsburs to promote our
fellow townsman, lion. P- !' Smith,
Is a reflection upon Its Judgment; but
there la consolation In the prospect
that while ho can remain on tho bench
of the Superior court, giving this com
munity valuable representation there,
the way Is now cleared for a con
certed effort In behalf of Hon. R. W.
Archhald's candidacy before tho ap
proaching Republican convention for
tho Supremo court bench, the success
of which would mean local representa
tion on both of tho appellate benches.
Educating for Business.
in these graduation days It may not
s-eom nmlss to think for a minute upon
the question. Is a special education
for a business career necessary or ad
vantageous? I.iglu has recently been
Bhed upon tho ulllrmatlve side of this
question from two distinguished
sources. In tho North American Re
view this month Professor Rryco goes
over the whole ground, paying particu
lar attention to the argument, com
mon nmong business men, that
tho only way to prepare for a com
mercial career Is to pass" through the
mill."
This contention, or rather tho ob
jection to a special school training
which lies bark of It, rests largely,
Professor IJryce thinks, on two mis
understandings. "One," says he, "Is
the notion that the advocates of com
mercial education expect to turn every
boy into a competent business man.
This is what no education can or will
do In any trade or profession whatever,
llrtiiy yountr fellows of good ability,
who have had tho best Instruction
money can buy, do not succeed, wheth
er it be in business, or In law, or in
medicine, or in soldiering, because a
host of other things besides ability and
education are elements In success. In
dustry, sobriety, steadiness of applica
tion, pleasant manners, social tact and
knowledge of human nature, the power
of lnspltlng confidence, be It confidence
In your honesty, or confidence In your
tenacity of purpose, all these things
count for much In winning success In
any walk of life. A physician, or a
lawyer, or a soldier may fall for want
of some of these gifts, but that Is not
deemed a reason for omitting to give
him all the knowledge needed for his
profession. So with business. No
amount of teaching, or for the matter
of that, no amount of cleverness, will
ensure success In business. All that
special pieparatlon can possibly do Is
to make those who have the natural
gifts that lead to success somewhat
bettor, and to make thot-e .n whom
these natural gifts are deficient some
what less bad. And as tho majority
of young men aro neither so capable
as to be sure of success, however ill
trained, nor so Incapable as to be sure
of failure, however well-trained, the
difference which training may make
seems sufficient to determine us to
give it.".
So much for the theory of the sub
ject. But what kind of an education
for business should we give, apart
from tho instruction in book-keeping,
commercial law and business forms
which aro Justlv considered an essen
tial of every commercial education?
How far shall tho Instruction go? That,
of i-miitr, depends very largely upon
the i upabillty and objective career of
the Individual pupil; but in a broad
mi&e we may gain some enlighten
ment from a circular of information
recently issued by the University of
Pennsylvania in behalf of the Wharton
t-cbuol of finance and economy that
admirable department In 'ho Unlvcr
sUy college founded In 18S1 by Joseph
Wharton, to offer facilities for obtain
i'is. as he expressed It, "a: adequate
( ducuMon in the principles underlying
successful civil government;" (nnd "a
tiolnlng suitable for those who intend
to ongage in business nnd tc ui derlakc
th management of proper:."
The curriculum of the WhaitoYi school
embraces in the freshman year study
of nngllsh composition and tho English
language, German, mathematics or
chemistry, Roman history, accounting.
i)hsirnl and economical geography,
constitutional law and Journalism; In
tho fcophomore year, English literature
O 'i-nian, European history, pia'tlcal
finance nnd foreign exchange, business
law, theory and geography of com
merce, political economy, legislative
procedure, Journalism nnd practice In
public speaking; in tho Junior year,
logic and ethics, English literature,
economics, sociology, modern legislative
problems, American history, English
constitutional history, elementary com
mon law, Romun law, banking, statis
tics, Journalism, charities and correc
tion, race tralt3 nnd distribution; and
In tho senior year, European history,
finance, public administration, English
civilization, social reformers, Aineilcan
history, monetary history, transporta
tion, commetce nnd commercial rela
tions, principles of government, munici
pal government, International law.Eng
lish legal institutions, court decisions
on the Federal constitution and Jour
nalism, some of thesn studies being
optional.
Tho setting down of theso studies In
rntaloguo fashion gives but scant Idea
of their Importance and all depends
upon the spirit of Inquiry and the prac
tical interest developed in the school
work. Yet It Is easy to see that a blight
young man who goes through such a
course of instruction vIth mind alert
and enthusiasm high, Is bound to
emerge a broader, batter-Informed and
more useful man than a young man of
equal natural ability whoso range of
Information and mental power are nar
rower on account of thn lack of a
collegiate training. Tho schooling
will not creatn tho commercial- In
stinct, which Is Inborn; but when
tiiat natural iuutinut Is wsat
In tho pupil, a good, broad school
training will fertlllzo it nnd make It
capable of far moro beneficial achieve
ments than would otherwise bo pos
sible. In considering what constitutes
a successful commcrclnl career wo must
look not only at tho nblllty to accumu
late nnd hoard money tho acquisitive
talent. Somo very wealthy men tiro
failures so far as their general useful
noes to tho community are concerned,
We must measure success by the
equity, intelligence nnd public Bplrlt
displayed by tho man who strives for
It. Hero is where the educated man
takes the lead from the self-mado man,
natural abilities being equal. As tho
university circular savs;
"The conditions of success In busi
ness have greatly changed during tho
last fifty years. Markets have widened,
competition has Increased, nnd the
scale of operations has been enlarged.
Those changes have lalscd tho standard
of Intelligence for success In tho busi
ness world, and education has become
as necessary to the man of nffairs as
for tho lawyer, clergyman or physician.
The civic and political responsibilities
of the business man were never greater
than they arc today. He has become
an Important factor in publlo affairs.
Many of tho questions at Issue concern
him most closely, nnd his opinions have
weight. It Is a familiar fact that tho
complexion of legislatures and of con
gress Is steadily changing, voters mani
festing an Increasing Inclination to se
lect, their lawmakers from nmong men
of affairs. An adequate education for
business life must recognize those now
responsibilities of business men."
Tho business man who belittles edu
cation ns a factor contributory to busi
ness success belongs to a class of men
who will find It more dlfllcult during
the next genration than they have
found It In tho past to keep abreast of
the times and in the van of commer
cial progress.
In tho Judgment of the faithful,
James M. Guffey will continue to bo
a great and good man Just so long as
ho shall pay the freight.
Let Us Have tho Whole Truth.
Some time ago wo reprinted from tho
New York. Sun a dialogue which that
paper Eald took place on board tho r
cruiser Brooklyn during the naval
battle at Santiago. The dialogue pur
ported to bo between Admiral (then
Commodore) Schley and tho navigator
of the Brooklyn, Lieutenant Com
mander Hodgson. The Sun said it had
Lieutenant Hodgson's direct authority
for tho version given by It, which was
as follows;
"Schley Hard aport!
"Hodgson ou mean starboard.
"Schley No, I don't. Wo are near
enough to them (the Spaniards) already.
"Hodgson Hut we will cut down the
Texas.
"Schley Damn the Texas! Lot her look
out for herself."
The Washington Post on Tuesday
gave editorial prominence to the fol
lowing communication, which speaks
for Itself:
"U. S. S. Brooklyn,
"Navy Yard, N. Y., June 11, 1S.I0.
"Dear Admiral Schley;
"Tho colloquy published in tho New
York Sun and alleged to have taken placo
between you and mo on the day of tho
battlo off Santl.igo. July 3, 1S0S, never
occurred. Very respectfully,
"A. C. Hodgson.
"Lieutenant Commander, U. S. N."
The New York Sun of yesterday fol
lowed with the appended epistle;
Navy Yard, New York, Juno 14. 1SD9.
Paul Dani, Esq., Oillce of Tho Sun, New
York, N. Y.
Dear sir: I havo read the dispatch In
tho New York p.'tpcrs of this morning,
giving a letter printed In the Washing
ton Post, pui porting to bo from Lieuten
ant Commander Uodg&on to Rear Ad
miral Schley, denying the truth of tho
Intervlow said by the Sun to have oc
curred between Schley and Hodgson ic
latlng to tho Biookljn's loop at Santi
ago. I believe that tho letter as printed
cannot havo been written by Lieuten
ant Commander IIoilKSon, Inasmuch as
ho reported to mo the conversation ul
luded to In substance in connection, with
tho Investigation of tho Walnwrlght
board of navigators, using It to confirm
tho position claimed by him for tho
Brooklyn.
The letter attributed to him must havo
been garbled. Yours truly,
L. C. Hcllner.
Lieutenant Commander, U. S. N.
Lieutenant-Commander Hellner wis
the navigating ofllcer of the T;vas, the
ship which the Brooklyn's manoeuvre
caused to reverse her engines in the
midst of tho pursuit of the fc-pmlsh
fleet.
The Sun Itself says In common::
Tho Bun printed tho conversation re
ferred to uh true only after Its repre
sentative had received from Lieutenant
Hodgson himself his confirmation. Tlig
Sun refuses now to believe that Hodgson
has been guilty of tho denial which tho
Post's letter would convict him of. Thero
must bo soma quibble or trick In the case
as it has reached tho Post and has been
presented by It. To tho Sun's
knowledge, so far hs men of the high
est reputation are worthy of considera
tion, Lieutenant Hodgson has icpeated
tho Schley-Hodgsnn conveisatlon on sev
eral occasions. This is beyond tho de
nial which the Washington Post has been
prevailed upon to spread abroad. If
Hodgson actually means now to deny
tho Sun's original statement without
qualification, then we must advise him
that he has como to tho parting In tho
wnys of life where a gentleman wearing
tho uniform of tho United States had bet
ter think deeply before making an Irre
vocable choice.
This controversy Is becoming intej.
csting. Let us have the whole truth.
The state deportment at Washington
has received a queer repot t combin
ing International politics with busi
ness. United States Consul Heenan nt
Odessa, Russia, says that the French
government, through its ambassador at
St. Petersburg, recently asked to have
a contract for tho supply of a largo
quantity of iron water pipe taken from
an American llrm and given to a
French firm, using as an excuse that
the close relationship existing between
Russia and France entitled Frenchmen
to favors of this nature. The Russian
foreign office took tho matter up, and
the governor of Odessa was directed
to see what could be done. His answer,
after he had made an investigation,
was Just as would naturally bo ex
pected. Ho refused to change the ar
rangements, because ho was satisfied
with the American contract, and con
Bldered American water-pipe superior
and cheaper than any other. It was
also shown that the specifications called
for pipe of a certain quality and shape
which the French could not mako. Then
tho French ambassador requested that
1,-Uic specifications be altered to iult the
French plpoj this, too, was refuoed,
because the Russian authorities held
that tho American kind of pipe gave
the best service. Franco's political nl
liance with Russia cannot alter tho
hard facts of commerce. Those facts
aro all In tho Yankee manufacturer's
favor.
The war between Editor Kohlsaat
and Senator Forakor Is upproachlng a
crisis. Tho former accuses tho latter
of having nccepted a $125,000 fee from
a street railway syndicate at ColumbuB
and adds: "As a lawyer for an honest
client Joseph 13. Foinkcr's services
were not worth $125,000 In 123,000 days.
As senator-elect and lobbyist with tho
legislator who had Just elected him.
ho sold the Influence nnd services of his
position dirt cheap." Mr. Foraker's re
Joinder will bo awaited with Interest
By tho time tho presidential nominat
ing conventions meet, "anti-trust
planks" will scarcely be sufficient to
cope with tho situation. Battering
rams or projectiles will be about the
only things that will have any effect
on the trusts.
M. Polncnre Is not anxious to make
a cabinet for France. He probably be
lieves that a French statesman's time
can bo better employed digging u
cyclone cellar.
As Baby Clarke's attack of measles
did not prove serious, Bella Anderson
Is now due for symptoms of quinsy or
hay fever In the New York "yellows."
There was no trouble In selecting can
didates at Harrlsburg after the nomi
nation for Supreme Judge had been
made. Empty honors come easy.
"Oom Paul" Kruger's decision to
come down part way from his high
perch shows how effectlvo rifles are as
aids In diplomacy.
No comolalnts are heard from the
Harrlsburg boarding-house keepers,
Anyhow, the Phlladelphlans had a lot
of fun at Harrlsburg.

next
Irtual selection of Congress
man Henderson as the Rcpubli-
candldate for speaker of the
next house of representatives
means more than tho temporary trans
fer of one of the chief oilices in tho
nation to a state on the other sldo of
the Mississippi river. It means that
a new political power has arisen In tho
West and that a state which was con
sidered only a few years ago as on the
frontier of civilization Is to wield nn
influence In national affairs which will
ovei shadow that of some old and strong
states in the i:ast.
0 .
The rise of Iowa in nationnl power
nnd intluonce has been neither rapid
nor undeserved. It has been won by
persevering effort and by the high
average Intelligence of Its Inhabitants.
The stuidy character of its New Eng
land settlers has left traces all over Its
history. The state's political record
shows this intluence plainly. Tho first
presidential election in which Iowa took
part was the election of ISIS and Its
four electoral votes were given to
Lewis Cass, tho Democratic candidate.
It repeated this In 1S32 when Franklin
Pierce was elected president. But with
the bit th of the Republican party Iowa
deserted Democracy and Joined the par
ty of liberty, and fiom that time Its
electoral vote has gone to none but a
Republican presidential candidate. In
the eleven national elections from and
Including 183G, Iowa lias never once
faltered in its Republicanism. In tho
elections of 18S9 and 1S31, when state
Prohlbltlonlsm had alienated many Re
publicans, Democratic governors were
elected by small pluralities. But with
prohibition modified tho political bal
ance of the state was restored and Re
publicanism resumed Its ascendancy.
Tho character of tho state Is also
shown by tho high class of men It has
sent to congress and the length of time
It has kept them thero. Senator Alli
son is serving his fifth term in congress
and if he lives to March 4, 1003, will
havo completed thirty years' service in
that body. He had previously been
elected four times to the house of rep
lesentatlves. Senator Allison has had
for colleagues In the senate such men
as Harlan. Kirkwood, Wilson nnd
Gear. Of the eleven Republican mem
bers Iowa sends to the next house of
representatives two will begin their
third term with tho Fifty-sixth con
gress, three their fourth term, three
their fifth term, ono his sixth term,
one his seventh term, and probable
Speaker Hendeison will begin his ninth
term. Many of theso men also had
legislative experience before they en
tered congress. As a consequence of
sending trained men to congress and
keeping them In their seats for years,
Iowa members had In tho last congress
tho chairmanship of such Important
committees as Expenditures In tho
Treasury Department, Inter-State and
Foreign Commerce, Judiciary, Military
Affairs and Puuilo Lands, while Mr.
Henderson followed the speaker on tho
committees on Rules, Mr. Dolllver was
seventh on the Ways and Meuns Com
mutes, Mr. Cousins was fifth on the
Foreign Affairs Committee, and other
Iowa members held places on Impor
tant committees.
o
There can be no danger tu tho nation
In bringing to the front a state which
js represented In congress by such men,
Tho widening of Its Influence must bo
for the strength and safety of tho gov
ernment nnd the progress of tho country.
GENERAI. MILES.
From the Wllkes-Barro Record.
General Nelson A. Miles Is, ostensibly,
tho commanding ofllcer of tho United
States army, and it might bo assumed
that ho would bo consulted with refer
once to the movements of troops and at
least net In an advisoty capacity concern
ing military operations In Cuba, tho Phil
ippines and Porto Rico. It would seem,
however, that ho Is regarded by tho
authorities nt Washington ns a superflu
ous nonentity, nnd Is as entirely Ignored
as If ho had no existence. The presi
dent culls Adjutant General Col bin, As
sistant Secietary of War Melkeljohn and
other subordinates into consultation,
but never tho senior major gcncial com
manding tho army. There must bo some
thing seriously wrong in a military sys
tem under which tho highest ranking olll
cerof the urmy Is given no oico whatever
in mutters supposed to require military
skill nnd experience. If Ocneral Miles
U an Incompetent, or undeserving of tho
confidenco and respect of tho govern
ment, then ho ought to bo removed anJ
somo other put In his place.
Tho American peoplo havo not lost faith
in General Miles. Ho has not done any
thing to forfeit their confidence or ro
spect. The army, too, has faith In him,
however much he may be held In con
tempt by tho authorities nt Washington.
Tho time mny coma when public senti
ment will demand that the highest rank
ing ofllcer In the army shall bo accordad
decent treatment by tho military author
ities at Washington. The way In which
General Miles has been treated by tho
war department Is a dlsgraco to tha
country nnd a reflection on the army.
Miles will survive tho venom of his en
emies, but at least some of tho latter will
not outlive the public scorn they have
deserved.
KIPLING.
Sjracuso Post-Standard.
Rudyard Kipling has sailed from theso
shores, having, In tho course of a few
months, undergone In America a dan
gerous Illness, a terrlblo bereavement
and a most remarkablo cxperlcnco of tho
high regard of all Americans. A report
er who saw him Just before ho left says
that Jlr. Kipling has changed, that ho
now feels more kindly towards America
and Americans and that ho no longer
says harsh things about us. That is not
exactly what America and tho Americans
want. What is demanded and expected
of Mr. Kipling is that he shall continue
to paint the thing as ho sees it. Ho has
given us all somo slashing criticisms now
and then, but so ho has all tho other na
tions and races of this mortal earth, and
tho general opinion Is that the earth Is
better for It. Upon tho general topic of
freedom of opinion and expression, tho
United States wants Mr. Kipling to un
derstand that Its regard for him has
nothing to do with the caso.
