For .c 'full twelvemonth hence,
Is planned to make you gay!"

OJiEAT WEALTH AND THE FUTURE.
It is hut natural and not alto
gether unprofitable that a good
degree of notice is given to the
life and character of the late
Cornelius Vanderbilt with a
thought of his future. It seems
he was a member of the church,
in good standing and manifested
a living faith by many .good
works.. The getting of immense
wealth is chiefly against him in
the . eyes of the world. "It is
easier for a camel to go through
the eye of a needle than for a
rich man to enter into the kins:
dom of heaven" was clearly in
tended to apply to those who
trusted in riches, those not in-
Poor in Spirit." There was
nothing in . the man's 'great
wealth to close the doors of para
dise against him but doubtless
he would have walked the road
leading thereto with' a quicker
and more sprightly step with a
less burden of wealth and wealth
getting weighing him down.
t His father, we believe; advised
that his children disperse more
of their wealth than he had done
and avoid 'immense accumula
tions. It leads us to fresh ad
miration of our own Vanderbilt,
who, instead of constant hoard-
mg ana gatnermg more, is
spreading much on the face of
the earth, making beauty and
productiveness where formerly
there was little to give joy or
comfort to man.
It is a great problem to solve
to get wealth; it is little less a
problem to learn how to use it
when gotten. t
FRANCE DEALING GENTLY.
DEMOCRATS GETTING READY.
A meeting of the national
Democratic executive committee
was held in Chicago, 111., on
last Monday, the 18th. - Prelimi
nary work was begun by making
Mr. G M Johnson, of Kansas,
the executive head and fixing
upon Chicago as the headquar
ters. The following address
was sent out:
' 'The national committee of the
Democratic party, in session at
Chicago, to consider the work
of party organization prepara
tory to the campaign of- 1900,
sends greeting to the Democracy
of the nation with the assurance
that the prospect of Democratic
success next year grows brighter
everyday, and we have every
reason for confidence as to the
outcomei The great need now is
party unity and thorough organ
ization. The committee appeals,
therefore, to our party friends in
all the States, and especially
States where elections are to be
held this year, to ! put aside all
local differences wherever they
exist, and support! the regular
party tickets . earnestly and en
thusiastically keeping, always in
view the great struggle of next
year, and remembering that in
unity there is strength and in
division weakness. Especially
do we appeal to the Kentucky
Democracy to give loyal support
,fco the regular ticket in that State,
headed5 : by Mr. Goebal, ; and
thereby makesure of a Demo
cratic victory in -the State and
the return of Senator Blackburn
to the Senate of the United
State's." : . v.;v
: The committee . resolved,
meet once every 60 days.
Court has opened in the French
Capitol for the trial of twenty
two citizens on the charge of
conspiracy 'against the" 'present
form of government. The utmost
gentleness and suavity is Ex
tended the accused. - Ever since
August 12 th.. M Guerin has refused-to
be arrested and is shut
up and barricaded in the headquarters-
of the Anti-Semite
League. ' The government has
not forced an entrance and arrest
evidently to soothe and heal the
distracted condition of the nation.
This seems very much in con
trast with the court-martial pro
ceedings arid indicaC 33 either
that that nation means reform or
that it realizes the danger of
further straining the national
compact. :
The Postoffice department at
Washington nas ruled that the
writer has a right to regain the
possession a letter providing he
can prove to the satisfaction of
the postmaster and the , officer
from which the letter was sent
that he was the writer of it.
Even if the letter has arrived at
its destination and before it has
been delivered to the person to
whom it was addressed, it maybe
recalled by telegram through the
mailing office. The reason as
signed is that the United'States is
is only the agent of the writer
while the letter is in transit. The
decision is important to business
men and to private individuals.

His Estimate of the Local Paper.
Senator Davis, ' of Illinois, is
reported as sa'ying: 4 'Each year
every W locals 'jhespaer I: gives
from $500 to $a, 000 in free lines
for the benefit. of the community
in which it is printed. No other
agency can nor will do this. The
editor in proportion to his means
does more for his town than any
other man, and in all fairness he
ought to-be supported) . .not; bo
cause you like or" admire his
writings, but because a local
newspaper is the best advertise
ment a community can have, tit
may, not be crowded with great
thoughts, : but financially ?it is
more of a benefit than a . teacher
or a preacher." - " :
