.The habit of measuring every t
thlng by the yardstick of wealth
or fame. has become ao fixed with
Americans aa to be considered
national trait, and it Is difficult
for the majority of us to think c
a man as successful who ignores
wealth or feels that there is some
thing worth struggling for of, in. J
finitely greater value than money
We all admit that there should
be something in & man's life
greater than his occupation or
achievement. But with most of
as this is but a pleasant theory,
for in the struggle tor position,
power, or wealth, we fail to actu
alize it in daily life. Andyet. no
matter how we may lull our con
sciences, the great truth, that
the supreme objept of life, what
ever the vocation, anouia oe to
raise the man to his highest pow
er, to develop bim along the line
of his noblest nature remains
undisputed.
It is one thing to succeed in
business accoi diug to the ordina
ry acception; it is anotheand a
totally different thing to. succeed
in life. Many .ajnan has failed
in business, and yet lived a truly
successful life, because he has
lived up to hU highest ideal. The
man who does the very best be
can under all circumstances, who
makes the most of his ability and
opportunities, who helps his fel
low man whenever : it -i s in his
power to do so, who gives the
best of himself to every occasion.
who is loyal and true In his friend
ships, kindly, charitable," and
magnanimous toward all, is a sue
cessful man, though he may no i
leave enough money to pay his
funeral expenses.
A noble character cannot be
developed under the shadow of a
low, sordid aim.;. The ideal must
be high; 'the purpose, strong,
worthy ani true; or the life will
be a failure.. The man who is
constantly scheming and plan
ning to get the better of his
neighbor, to drive a bargain in
which the advantage will be all
on his side, can never attain the
dignity and grandeur of true man
hood.
He is really the richest, the
most successful, who enriches
his country the most, who gives
himself with his money, who
opens wider the door of opportu
nity to those about him, whose
benefiuet.ee and kindness enrich
his neighbors. Such a man
makes every acre f grouod in
his community more vaju&ble,and
increases the wealth of every man
who lives near him. . On the oth
er band, many a milliopaire im
poverishes his whole neighbor
hood and lessens the value of eve
ry foot of land in his yiicnity,
He who regards manhood, and
character as the supreme objects
of life may not be rich in money,
but he is rich in a truer and bet
ter sense; for manhood is above
all riches and' overtops all titles,
and character is greater than any
career. ;.:' ; . ;- -V
Refreshing as an oasis or a
gushing fountain in a dreary des
ert, is the sight of a man iq this
money-mad age - for. whom the
glitter pi gold bus no attraction.
Snob it one is John Burroughs,
that great soul whq lives-near the
heart of nature, who draws sweet
cess and strength from commun
ion with her, whose daily fife is
rich beyond the wildest dream of
the millionaire. 1
Mr. Burroughs believes that a
man is a failure, even though be
have millions," whose mind has
been, trained in mere shrewdness
in alertnesa to take advantage ol
bis competitor's weakness,- to
get ahead of others,' to be sharp.
eagle eyed for the wk-ak place in
a rival's armor. f; He sees no sue-:
cess in using a stepping stone to
elevation those unfortunates wi6
have fallen 'behind in '.he raca
He thinks that the only success
worth striving for is that wbicb
comes from the consciousness of
growing higher and broader and
deeper in mental and moral pow
er every day. from the dally ex
panding and unfolding of the fC-
nines wnicn permit tueivavivi

many man dwarfs his manhood,
cramps his Intellect, crashes his
aspiration and blurs ' his finer
sensibilities la some narrow ocou
pation, because, perchance, they
m,ay be a fortune Id it :f He thinks
that - a ' hod -carrier may be Infi
nitely superior, to the millionaire
under whose bricks be staggers;
that it is a contemptible estimate
of a . vocation . to look on it as a
mere means of getting rich; that,
if 4 1 does not develop the higher
manhood and lead to a larger, no
bier life, it is unworthy of the
man.
This nature lover believes that
the beauty and the sweetness of
life are lost U the great majority
of people who are infatuated with
the glamour of money. He has
so trained his eye by close ob
servation of the processes of na
ture that it is a perpetual magni
fying glass, revealing beauties
invisible to the uncultivated eye.
His simple life of high thinking
plain living, and carefuf study,
opens to him a thousand new
avenues of enjoyment, undream
ed of by those who are engaged
in the pursuit of wealth.
Here is a man who sees beauty
and true riches everywhere, who
is not blinded by the glitter of
gold, who "worships the splendor
of God which he sees bursting
through every chink and cran
y."
Like Thoreau, Phillips Brooks,
Agassis and Beecher, he sees
beauty in the flower, glory in the
grass, "books in the running
brooks, sermons in stones, tnd
good in everything."
In the quiet forest beyond the
reach of the city's din or any ar
tificial noises except the distant
soreech of the locomotive, this
high priest of nature holds daily
heart to heart talks with the great
goddess at whose shrine he rev
ereotty worships. In ouccess,

A Scathing Arraingraent
Norfolk Landmark.
Sixto Ltpez, the represents
tive of the Filipinos in London,
has addressed to Col, O'Farrell
President of the Acti-Imperialis-tic
League of Washington, D. C.
a letter -which presents with re
markable strength the Filipino
case against the government of
the United States.
It makes no difference wheth
er Lopez wrote the letter himself
or not. We have no doubt that
he did write it; for it is well at
tested that the educated Pbilipi
nos are men who would make
their mark in any country, and it
is presumable tbat one of their
ablest men would have been s nt
to the English capital. We should
like to give the whole of Senor
Lopez's argument, but we shall
have to .content ourselves with
quoting wbat strikes us as the
most effective portion:
"What we say, not to the people of
America, but to the Administration,
is as follows: Do you want means
to 3ecure protection to life and prop
erty? Then take whatever means are
necessary. Do you want to secure
rights in lieu of services rendered to
na? You shall have all that you de
demand. Do you want to Bee a stablb
government established in the is
lands? So do we; come and help ns
or come and supervise while we es
tablish it for ourselves. Do you
want lepayment in whole or in part
of the $30,000,000 too hastily paid
to a defeated foe? Do you want trade
concessions? Do you require a basis
of operations in the Far East? Do
you want coaling stations, or any
conceivable thing which we are able
to give or find? Come and take all
these things. Do you want to hu
miliate us, and prove your own mili
tary strength? Impossible! there
could be no nobility,of character, no,
'prestige to arms,' no 'honor to the
Hag' in the strong humiliating the
weak, especially when it is remem
bered that 'the weak' once gave
whatever strength it had in support
of the arms of the strong.
"Then there is ouly one thing left
Do you want our country? We can
not believe you do. With all your
millions of miles of territory, with
all your illimitable wealth, with the
vastness of your commerce, with the
rights and concessions which we are
prepared to yield to you, we cannot
believe that you also want our coun
try. But if you do want it, why not
say so? Why talk of philonthropy,
and 'peace' and 'charity' and 'liber
ty of opportunity' and the task whioh
Providence has placed upon you.
Why speak of refusing to accede to
imaginary demands whioh we never
made at to the immediate withdraw
al of your forces.? If it was your
intention from the first to seize our
country. Why did you seek and ao
oept our aid in the conquest of our
native land? Why did you telegraph
to us, 'Come as soon as possibe'? Why
do you now seek to belittle our aid.
Why do you charge ns with having
been bribed- and then allow us to
spend the 'bribe' in warfare against i
your enemy? Why did you awake ns
from the delightful slfep into which,
you assert we had been lulled by
your 'bribery'? Why did you allow
us to cherish for mouths the belief
that wo were to lave national liberty
and independence? Why did you
not tell us at first that it was your
intention to annex the Philippines? !
Why did. you say that 'annexation
was not to be thought of,' and that
'by your oode of morality? it would
be criminal aggression'? Why did
yon not say boldly that yon intended
to take our country, and that you
would be satisfied with nothing else.
Why did you toot plead at onoe that
'might b right and 'hare-dons with
the- wretched mess of misoonstrac-rion,-'
as Colonel Denby elegantly ex
pressed it?'
Now,
that sarcasm is seaich-
tog. It goes straight tbrousjk the
sanctfned veneer with bich th"

and specific assurance from us
In addition to pointing to our
promise to Cuba, our leading mil
itary representative answered
embarrassingquestions by refer r
ing Qthe Filipinos to American
history. Geo, Tbos, M. Ander

it was impossible logiveadeci

The Negro and the Cam
paign.
Asheville Citizen.
There is a disposition in some
quarters to hoist the anti negro
flag in the coming presidential
campaign in North Carolina. The
Democrats of this state have but
recently fought a momentou.-
battle on this issue and won a
signal victory. Through all the
campaign, wbicb was one of the
hottest ever waged in this state.it
was declared that the ratification
of the amendment would settle
the negro question, at least for
many years. It is true that the
amendment does not become op
erative until 1902, and it is like
wise true that the negro is still
with us, as he was in the past
campaign, but we fail to see in
these facts sufficient justification
for pitching the November cam
paign on the negro plane. In the
first place, it is entirely too hot
to think of two anti negro cam
paigns in one year; iu the second
place, it was generally believed
that the negro question was to be
shelved when the amendment
was adopted; and, thirdly, the
people of North Carolina must
come to fight out their oh mpaigns
without the negro as a prominent
figure and there is no bettr r time
to begin than right now
Let the fall campaign be a fair
stand-up fight on the great issues
that confront the 'American peo
ple, and test the question wheth
er North Carolina is Democratic.
We have no doubt as to the re
sult. This state has emerged from
the da. k wood of negro domina
tion, and we see no good reason
for racking it with another anti
negro campaign. Besides, the
state might refuse to be racked.
If, however, the Republicans
show a disposition to make e.
great to do'over the negro and
thus force the question into the
campaign the Democratic party
will be found willing and able to
entertain tbem

cured," says Rev. A. A. Power, of
Emporia, Kan. 'My neighbor
across the street was sick for over a
week, had two or three bottles of
medicine from the doctor. He used
them for three or four days without
relief, then called in another doctor
who treated him for some days and
gave him no relief, so discharged
him. I went over to see him the
next morning. He said his bowels
were lu a terrible fix, that they had
been running off so long that it was
almost bloody flux. 1 asked him if
he had tried Chamberlain's Colic
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and
he said, 'No.' I went home and
brought him my bottle and gave him
one dose, told mm to taxe anoiner
dose In fifteen or twenty trinntea if
he did not find relief, but he took no
more and-was entirely cured,-: For
