How to Succeed in Life. Nor j oik Virginian. Hon. Garret A. Hobart, the Vice-President-elect, was sought the other day by a young man who wanted his advice as to "the best thing a young man could do in ordor to secceed in life," and here is what Mr. Hobert said to him: He honest and industrious oil through life in whatever you may be engaged, and you need not fail of success." This was good advice and if lollowed no young man need fear the result Both are necessary to succeed even in the smallest degree While it is true that there have been cases where young men have been both honest and in dustrious and yet have not suc ceeded in accumulating wealth ct it must be remembered that success in life is not eutirely measured by the dollars one may have. There are greater and higher aims in life than simply money-getting, though it is un fortunately true that such is the fixed aim of already too many men, both young and old, of this day. A full measure of success in this life is not, nor should it be, estimated by dollars, and yet how often it is that men in their mad haste to accumulate wealth forget everything else which goes toward making life success tul! If a young man is honest, industrious and frugal throughs out success, in all the term im plies, is sure to come to him. The Ordor Of Good Living. There is plenty to eat and good c"ieer with it in at least one part of the moral vineyard. The Abbeville (S. C.) Chronicle says: "Hog brains, fresh sausage, backbones, and spare ribs! Everybody knows that these things mean a 'regular hog-killing time and that is the sort of time our people have been hav ing for six weeks or more, except when interrupted by intervals of warm weather. More hogs have been slaughtered in this section than in any previous year, and nearly as many more remain to be killed. It is won dcrful where they all come from. Does this not look like good times? Of course some men will still cry 'hard times,' but does anyone remember a time when they didnot? There never was a year when the pathway to prosperity will be greased for everybody. But as a matter of fact the farmers generally are in a better condition to-day than they have been at any previous time for years. They are pract ically out of debt, all have some ready cash, and with well-filled smoke houses, barns and grauers ies, the proverbial wolf is not likely to prowl around their j doors for a twelve-month to come, j We are having good -times now and better times are com-, ing. Our farmers have but to keep their courage up, their ex penses down and all will be hap- py" It is said that one hundred and twenty Ohio editors are demand ing the appointment of Mark Hanna to succeed John Sherman. In a short time these same one hundred and twenty editors will be demanding their own appoint ments to post offices and other Federal jobs. There is little philosophy in growling about the weather. This old world take it first and last has about the best weather of any world that we were ever in. This paper for $1.00 a year. The Situation in Crete. Norjolk Virginian. There is no excuse whatever for the presence of the Turk in the Island of Crete, and the cause of the Christians there has aroused widespread sympathy in every civilized land, yet, outside of Greece, no hand is uplifted for their rescue from a thaldom worse than death. That Crete has been wretchedly governed tin miprloiihts. and t'.llL til? "Doz of a Christian," as the Turl; styles them when he refers to one of the Christian faith, has been the object of his butchery, is equally true, but when the people of the little island takes up arms to have their wrongs righted the Great Powers calls upon them to halt That this is so is a shame upon the Christian nations who have taken part in the outrage,and it is to England's everlasting disgrace that her guns were among the first which were fired at the Christians struggling for liberty, compell ing them to desist in an attack upon the Turks, the result of which might have led up to freedom for them. The cause of Cretans appeals to the highest grounds of humanity. The cres tan problem is complicated with religion, and the only cause that can be offered for the human butcheries in that unhappy island is that its Deoole are Christians and are regarded by the Turk as his legitimate prey The Powers know this full well and knowing it as they do, their conduct is all the more reprehen sible. The fact is, outside of diplo matic circles, the world has be gun to wonder what there is in this Turkish question that Tur key is permitted to murder so many of God's people, and no eliort is made bv the reat na tions of Europe to stay her hand. Surely there is a way to put an end to the wholesale murders practiced alike in Armenia and Crete. If any one of the great nations of Europe should demand the necessary reforms in the do main of the Turk, and compel their enforcement, even at the cost ot war, it would hot be long before others would fall into line, and then the solution of the troubles would be affected. But, unfortunately,there is none will ing to assume such a position. However, there must be an end to these astrocities,and yet whose hand will bring it about is a question. OBITUARY.
