ACCOIJDINCJ " TO Theoaore Hurt, whose word, to any one who knows him, Is as good as a Bolil bond, Senator-elect Drury of Plttston. on the dny of his nomination, assured Mr. Hart, emphatically, that If elected ho would act with the regular Kopubllcans and not with tho Insurgents. County Chair man Frank Wheaton, County Conmls Hkmer John M. Jones and Recorder L. r. Holcotnb, of Luzerne county, are quoted by Jlr. Hart as having reeptved similar assurances. In the face of this Mr. Drury announces his intention to bolt the Republican legislative caucus. Instances of trickery are not uncom mon In politics. There are men who look upon a political pledge as having less value than an agreement made in other fields of human activity. Some regard it as an Indication of smartness to practice deception regarding their attitude in u political controversy un til the time arrives to unmask; they enjoy creating u sensation. Bur the longer a man lives and observes the less value he will put upon this con ception of political expediency. In the case of Mr. Drury, for example, here was a man successful In business and generally respected. An issue sharply dividing his party arose and lie aspired to ofllce. If we accept the version of Mr. Hart, a gentleman In whom we have Implicit confidence, Mr. Drury did what no honorable man would do to gain an oflice; he deceived some of his lifelong neighbors and friends and won their political help by f-ilse pre :ences. In emphasizing our point it is not material whether Quay or anti-Quay sentiment is uppeimost in Mr. Drury's district. Nor is It necessary to discuss the relative merits of the factional controversy. Tho struggle over the senatorship will come, go and in a few weeks ho forgotten. If the regulars win, Drury's day of opportunity will be few; If the insurgents win, they will have other fish to fry beside continuing attentions to a man against whose political character the accusation of political deceit lias been made by reputable witnesses. After It is all oer Drury will come horn a to where he formerly enjoyed general confidence and respect; and thsro will !- many of his neighbors who will look upon him as politically unfair; who will cease to place dependence upon his word when pledged; who will feel that the current rumor that during the campaign $1500 of insurgent money went ns a contri bution to his election expenses may have had a foundation of truth. There Is always one consolation for a defeated candidate. Ho can join the great army of the undismayed. Recipes for Success. OME TRUTHS which are old are nevertheless worth re peating. Marshall Field, the great merchant of Chicago, in a letter to Rev. Dr. Hillis, pastor o? Plymouth church, Brooklyn, written in response to a request for his views upon the methods by which a young man may be successful In business, re peats a number and his counsel has widespread interest nnd value. Mr, Field's first advice to a young man wishing to begin a business ca reer Is to find out what his natural bent is. That learned, then jump In and master every detail. The trouble with most young men, he finds, is that they are content simply to jog along in an Indifferent kind of way from pay day to pay day, making no effort to in crease their efficiency and with It their value. It is tho young man of Industry, thoroughness and mind alert to pick out wnys of improvement who attracts tha notice, confidence and fl "nnlly tho reward of his superiors. Ouhli) of business hours the candl rtate for success In life, according to Mr. Field, must not depart fiom tho ways laid down In tho familiar pre cepts, ,JJo Is loeointnended to choose roputnhA 'companions, cultivating men of lullupucQ- when possible); to Indulge temperately Ui clean amusoiuuntii; to read substantial books; nnd to strive to devoiop character and self-control, On this subject Mr. Field Is thoroughly old-fushloned, "The young mun," ho says, "possessing u cotisclenco that can lint' brook tho slightest suspicion of wrongdoing, and which Insists on steadfast and undovlating truthful ness, sturdy i honesty and strict devo tlrtn to duty under nil circumstances, has a fortune 'to begin with. Tho nbll Ity to restrain appetite, passions, tongue and temper, to be their muster and not their slave', in a word, absolute self-control, Is also of first importance; ono who cannot, gtrvern himself s un fit to govern othera." To tho fqregolng virtues must be added one ijther economy. A young man may ba all that Mr. Field has described anq yet If ho does not save out of His earnings he will not have ready money when good investments offer nor will he bo so likely to get credit. To save money In these mod ern days, when tho whole energy of our complex civilization seems to bo devoted to devising new Inducements to Its expenditure, is perhaps the most dimeult problem of nil, It Is especially dlfllcult In oilr cities nnd for that rea son the young man who proves his ability to solve It strongly fortifies his rlnlms Upon tho confidence of those about him. Not every young man who fulfils all these tests will succeed In reaching the height's. At tho best business Is full of uncertainties, and vhcro chnnco litis one good mnn up It Is Just ns liable to throw another good man down. Nor Is chance ritono nt fnnlt. Borne good men well lltted for subordinate positions lack the Iron In their blood to tnkc per sonnl command. In that ense success consists In knowing one's capacities. Yet upon the whole the bright and clean young mnn who Is not afraid to work, both with his hands and his brain, nnd who works Intelligently, to a definite purpose, hns today unbound ed opportunities of advancement. Kvery employer Is looking for him, and the demand far exceeds the supply. Contingent upon tho enactment of the ship subsidy bill now pending In congress, Alexnnder Brown & Sons of Baltimore are planning the organiza tion of n new transportation company, to Innludo a number of existing steam ship companies. The proposed capital of the new company Is $27,000,000; and. the plans contemplate the construc tion of eight new freight and passenger steamships for ocean transportation. To this of course the Democratic party will object. It is so stubbornly op posed to ocean 'subsidies that sooner than yield It would have all our ocean commerce transported in foreign ships. Duplicity. BY MEANS OF a discreditable! trick tho corporations com prehended within the pro visions of the Ford franchise tax law In New York state are now endeavoring to defeat that Just act of legislation. To understand the trick It Is necessary to recall the history of the bill's enactment. When Governor Roosevelt first an nounced his intention to favor such a measure, believing as he did that tho corporations owning public franchises were not bearing their fair share of the public tax burden, prominent poli ticians advised him to desist. They said that' to continue would array against him Influences so powerful that he would be crushed. He went ahead but he fought fnlily. He noti fied the corporations of his intentions and invited them to favor him with their arguments and views. They paid no attention to the Invitation, rs lylng on their ability to smother the bill in the legislature. Just before the session closed the goernor rallied his friends in the as sembly and, much to the consternation, of the corporations and politicians, the bill Imposing a tax on franchises was passed. Thi-n began a rush of men to Albany to se2 the governor and persuade him to veto it. Defect's were pointed out. Ono in particular was made much of. As originally passed the Ford law put the assessing of franchise values In the hands of local assessors. The big New York corporations complained bitterly that this feature of the-law laid them liable to gross extortion from Tammany and they emphasized this point so strong ly that Governor Reosovelt finally agreed to recall the legislature in extra session and recommend an amend ment to the law vesting the power to make assessments in a board of state assessors specially appointed for that purpose. He stipulated, however, thnti no other amendments, especially nona fatal to the bill's just intent, should be attempted; and to thwart all pos sibility of thimble rigging in this di rection he withheld his signature from the original bill until the extra ses sion had adjourned, Intending to ap prove it without amendment If tha amendments were objectionable. Now it develops that the corporate cry of fear of Tammany was nn arti fice designed to Impose on the gover nor to the extent of getting him to accept the state assessment board amendment, a provision alleged to be In conflict with the constitutional re quirement that assessments for taxa tion can be made only by elected as sessors. A lower court has held that thla provision vitiates the entire law, but the question is to go before the Court of Appeals. The laising of this question by the very interests In whosj behalf and on whose plea for justice the provision was Inserted Instantly suggests bad faith and supplies a broad hint as to why, Just prior to the Philadelphia convention, there wai such a frantic anxiety on the part of certain politicians noted for their af filiations with the New York corpora tions to (transfer Colonel Roosevelt from Albany to Washington. A great deal now depends on the kind of stuff in Governor-elect Ben Odell, If ho is tho right man In the right pluco hit will stand by his predecessor's actions and fight the battle for fulr play through to a finish. Tho sudden manner in which several shining lights hnvo dropped into ob livion slnco election suggests that home one has formed a trust of thu press agents, The Chinese Problem, ACCORDING TO the United States, China Is nn Inde pendent nation, with all the rights belonging under In ternational law to an Independent na tion. Included among those rights is the right to try thoso Chinese sub jects accused of grave crimes, and upon conviction to administer punish ment by processes which havo tho sanction of Chinese custom nnd law. If this right s abridged tho sovereignty of China is abrdged and there remains no well-established check upon foreign Intermeddling and aggression. But tho disposition of some of tho other powers, especially Germany, seems to be to deny to the Chinese government the right of exercising hoverelgn authority over the Chinese people, b'ut under ono pretext or an other to send European troops upon random errands of native punishment and loot and to exact humiliating and Impossible requirements of the Chinese Imperial authorities. Anyone who will take the trouble to read Chester Holcombe's latest book on the Chinese problem and particu larly thoso portions of It In which ho describes English, French nnd German past treatment of'Chlna treatment ab solutely destitute of respect for native rights or pride, nnd precisely on a par with that of the highwayman who holds up a body of defenceless travel ers and nt pistol's point relieves them of their money nnd valuables can readily nppreclatc why the decent and honorable attitude of our state depart ment In tho present emergency In China Is criticized In European papers for its want of energy and decision. Tho conventional European view of tho proper means of treating with China Is to pull a gun tho moment you want something. Mr. Holcombe shows that the Boxer uprisings are the natural and Inevitable response. His experience of twenty years' oinclal service In China corroborates and approves every step our government hns taken and It Is to be hoped that tho administration at Washington will continue to exert an effective restraining and humanzlng Influence In tho settling of the pending dlfllcultes. It Is easier 'to tnllc about than to effect a $15,000,000 reduction In war taxes. The patent medlclno men want the stamp tax on medicines removed. The brewers want the extra tax on beer removed. The general publlo wants the penny tax on express re ceipts and telegrams removed and numerous special Interests have other plans to urge. In the next session a job on tho ways and means committee will be no sinecure. In the opinion of Senator Harris, of Kan?as, "the Republican party haa clearly demonstrated that it stands for the corporation ns against the indi vidual citizen." Now that the sena tor's Republican constituents have turned him down, he should make haste to join- a corporation and. thus get in the swim. Last year, because of a lack of coal ing stations and the Increased demands made upon the naval establishment, coal for the navy cost Uncle Sam $2 more per ton on the average than ever before. Additional naval bases and depots of supply are fully as necessary as additional war ships. They can give Americans some points In Russia. From Moscow to Irkutsk, on the Siberian railroad, Is 3371 miles, yet a first-class ticket, one way, including the very finest sleeping accommodations, superior to any in the United States, costs only $43.30. It is announced that Mr. Comsto(ck has planned another raid of the gambling houses of New York. Mr. Comstock usually has the politeness to make known his plans long In advance of execution. Weekly Letter on Municipal Affairs XXIV. MUNICIPAL LODGING HOUSES. New Yoik, JCeiv. 17. Till; MODIIKN CUT, the umld over, is be cumincr moie and mote luiicciikmI about thu vvelfaie of its Inhabitant-! paitiuilaily of Its unfiiituiuUc ones. All Hirts of hchuncs for it'llevinr; the MllU'rlriKH of buch at aic "down on their luck" have been projected and successfully ciriieil forward. The municipal lodging house is uniong the latest venture's. The cities of Kuiopc nnd Cire.it Iintain have led the way, and the United States cities have followed in their wale-. In Boston the institution U known as the "wajfarerV lodge," and in in charge of the poor board. The plan was inaugurated by former Major Qulney, and, since its inception seven years ago, has accommodated some 23,000 lodgers and proviileel well on to 00,000 meals. The men aio regulaily icgisteicd, ns at a, hotel, and, in addition, infoimatlon Is obtained as to their deiire for woik. All comers are received whose circumstances arc Mich as to pie. vent them from paying for the necessities. Kv ery encouragement possible is given to the men and, in order that they may retain their self respect, they are required to labor in the ariotis city departments in payment for their lodging and rations. The principal employment, how ever, is in cutting wood, which is sold in the fall and winter, the proceeds of which are added to the support of the Institution. Tho lodging house costs the city of Hoston about $S,000 per year, and, it is claimed, raves the city indi rectly more than $20,000 per year, to bay nothing of the general good accomplished. for more than ten jears the city of Wash ington, 1). C, has fciiccissfully conducted a lodg. Ing house, congrcfs annually appropriating the sum necehsary for Its maintenance. Its capacity is limited to fifty inmates per night, whoso wants are looked after by (.even employes. All sorts and conditions of men'are received, but theru are no accommodations for women. Harli appli cant for admission is registered, asked where he worked last, and how long he has been out of work. Ho Is then given a ticket which entltliu hiin to three dajs subsistence. Two meals a day are provided, which consists of bread, cof fee, and a stew made ol bread, potatoes, beef and rice or barley. Meals are sencd at 7 a. m. and S p. m. In consideration for tills subsistence, the bene ficiary t-aws and splits twenty-one sticks of wood, which entitles him to a supper, n bath, a bed and breakfast; the samii work upon fourteen hticks of wood entitles him to n bath, a bed and bieakfast, lleiddes a ccmnnndioin bathroom the Institution has a room for the disinfection of clothing, A bmall library and reading room U also profiled for the usn nf micli us desire to read in the oeiilng. Other helpful inthiriices are thiown about the men, while they mo iceehliij the benefits of (his Institution. During the lust (ho years more Ihuu 25,(100 lodgers lute been accommodated, at an aicrnge epeni,e of about twenty-live cents per day, More tlun 12,000 meals hao been served, while about 1,000 ap. plicanU have been provided with permanent po sitioni,. Syracuse, X, V,, lias successfully conducted a similar inttitiitinii for a jear and rnoie, dous ing and caring for nearly 2,000 transients, After registering and answering the lunal questions, the applicant is shon a ticket which entitles him to a simple breakfast, supper and lodging. Ho Is then required to woik out his board and lodging dally, on the streets or elsewhere, as di rected by the department ol public works. Xo applicant will be given board and lodulng for a longer period than two weeks. New York city caics for this Indigent class by subsidising a number of charitable Institu tions carried on under private au.pices. In this way tens of thousands of dollars are wasted an nually, for fully JO per tent, of the amounts, appropriated for this work are spent In salaries. The work could bo performed more satisfactorily and at less cxpenso under a well manuged city department. Ualtlmore, Toledo, Louisville and other American citifs conduct similar institu tions. Municipal lodging houses were Introduced In Kngllsh cities ut about the same time as in America, but hey have nude mere notable pioj. reus in the smaller titles than on this side of the water. London, Mmpool, Glasgow mid many Ihiropean cities, however, were occupying this field of charity long before similar work was instituted in America. Some of the Kngllsh lodging houses tost an enormous amount to build and aio operated at a loss; while others arc woiked at a profit. The KnglUh authorities, howcter, assume that to make a lodging house pay Is not tho object in icw.

TAIL TWISTING DEAD. From the Toronto Globe. In the campaign which lias just closed In the United States the Democrats everywhere en deavored to make otes by accusing President McKinley of undue friendliness towards Orcit Britain. As in the foimer campaign, too, it was repicscntcd that the maintenance of the gold standard was un object spec! illy elrslred by the United Kingdom as the great eieditor nation. The refusal of the McKinley administration to Interfere on behalf of the Roers was also worked for all that It was worth. The president and his advisers were also charged with having pro moted the Hay-Pauncefote treaty respecting the Nlcaraguan canal, to the detriment of American Interests. The administration did not assume an apolo getic attitude towards any of these- matteis, but appear to have adopted the view that tha hostility to Britain is now a negligible quan tify. The result of the election appears to Justi fy their estimates in this respect. If these ap peals had any effect at all it was piohably to throw the votes of natiirallred Canadians and old countrymen into the Republican column. At all events the trade of the twisters of the lion's tall appears to lie dead, and the fact may be hailed with satisfaction, Its evil effect in the past ran hardly be over estimated. It virtually prevented any rational or easy international relations between the tvv: countries, a condition of affairs In which, of ceurse, Canada was implicated. Public men in the United Mates were always uneasy when called on to discuss any question alfeiting thu two countries, for fear of having the cliaige of truckling to Britain, no niatter how groundless Biich a charge- might be. urged against them. In fact, no tic.ity with Britain, however favor able it might be to United States interests, hud the ghost of a chance of passing the senata when any considerable election contest was in view, for fear of the use that might be made of it by tho opposite paity, llio friendliness of Rriluln dining the SpanUh-Aiiieili'an war appears to have changed all that, and it is u matter for blntere congratulation that such (is the case.
