WAS People who knew a great man when he was nobody ami. who, therefore re fuse to acknowledge his greatness,' are thk-k as leaves In Vallambrosa. The reat man may be a little great jnart or a big great man; he may bej the great man of a village or of 'a nation that makes no difference to those Mho knew him when he was nobody. Other may think him great, but those iwh knew him when he was nobody remem ber,a classmate who never amountea to much, used to head the class , at school and was much brighter than the man who aierward became great. - Reasoning a priori, one would sup pose" tha.t the people who knew a man when he was nobody would be j the first and loudest to acclaim him when he became great. But human nature does -not respond always to ; the promptings of pure reason. En vy jealousy and other disturbing passions; darken the understanding and weaken the will, and when a man mounts In the world to some eminence he is very likely to find -those , who knew j him whdn he was nobody barking i and snapping at his heels like a pack of hyenas. , j So long as a man stays down an the level plain with the crowd he hai friends' and fellows willing. ? to njh f him or ward and cheer him on. But as soon as he rallies his head.' above thW cfowd he becomes a target for! the slings and arrows "of enVyri&fcrTjInd Jesilouiv And the' higher he mounts the moit: bitterly he Is assailed. It i one ut the. severetot jK-iml (.- of gcett- ness to see the people one loves j fall away, -one by one, through misunder standings and jealousies, and to know that the new friends, who flock to every rising man. are moved not' by love 'of him tut by s-lf Interest... What pi n In power is sure of the fidelity, of" his friends? It Is almost' inipossfhle to love disinterestedly a' great man -great In iower or riches for the thought of what he can do to help one will obtrude upon the sentiment of pure friendship, Perhaps this feeling of the hollo Wness and self-serving nat ure of the friendship that is offered hini is the cause of so many great men, who were generous and kindly enough In adolescence, becoming thor oughly selfish, cold-blooded, and cruelly calculating In their later life. j -' 'Napoleon Bonaparte, for example, say a w riter in the San Francisco Bul letin. In the height of his carreer was a selfish and wicked as an intelligent man could be. But In his youth he was a very decent sort of fellow.., He sym pathized keenly with the struggles of the Corsicans, under Paoli. to regain th-r liberties from the "French, a nd he censured his own-father for throw ing up Paoli's cause and going! over to France. At that era of htslife, says Watson, "he was human In his sympa thies, loyal fh his friendships self sacrificing toward bis family; and ap parently as pure as a' girl In his morals'-" An be rose his old friends,! who had known him when be was a nobody, turned against him; but the few w bo stood by him In the first years of his life be never forgot and he never tired of rewarding their fidelity. a Coughing I was Riven up to die with quick consumption.

ATEK CO., Lowell, Ma. M3i j 1 -iwswssaa a A WORD TO THE ASTORIAN. It is to be hoped the Astortan, la its anxiety to Justify a holt against the peoples caucus list June (though this Is not surprising, since it must justify the refusal" of certain men to go into a caucus two years " ago, by which means the man who was the choice of a majority of the Republican members was defeated), will not indulge in misrepresentation. That : paper says Ckvernor Cfeer "freely: acknowledges that he used the knife "in f Marion. This ; Is, " wanton misrepresentation. .There is not a man in. Oregon whorr. Governor Geer advised : to" vote rbr Chamberlain nor one ; he advised to vote for Furnish. ; The Governor au- tnorixes the Statesman ; to make this statement. All this talk about "knif ing" by men who would insist c upon committing '"- political ; hari-kari. . last spring, ia a blind effort to shift the I . ,.-.-;- . .... .. blame forf a mistake .which they now "freely acknowledge and fools no body. ':'.. ';';' Why were the Republicans of Clat op required to "make the; fighrt of their lives" to carry a strong Republi can county for the Republican candi date for Governor? Nobody was mak ing the fight. of his.llfe, toxarry that county for Governor Geer. yet he car ried it for Senator by 274 majority over Mr. Wood. . f' ' "But the Astorian adds that "Gr, in return for his treachery, receives: -the uipport of thousands iOf Democrats?' Play fair, Mr. Astorian. In j Clatsop county,v Mr. ,Blackman, Democratic canamate ror 7tate i reasurr,; receive t total vote or 633, Mr. Winn, for 3tate Superintendent,' 689; Attorney General, 637; Godfrey, for State Print- jr. 671; and Butcher, for Congress. 592. These were .all , Democratic state can lidates. - For Senator Mr. 'Wood re ceived in Clatsop county a' vote of 721. IF GOVERNOR GEER RECEIVED ANY DEMOCRATIC : " VOTES IN CLATSOP COUNTY FROM WHENCE CAME MRs . WOOD'S INCREASE OVER THE' BALANCE OF .THE OEMOCRATIC TICKET? O course, to sustain the revolutionary path it has marked out for itself, t no. one expects the Astorian to be fair. but will it be as fair as it can? Governor Geer had the courage to go before the people with his candidacy Mr. Fulton did riot. All this attempted jugglery to fix he blame for j the mis take In the State Convention, -which anybody could have foreseeni is the thinnest kind of cjiildih stupidity. vTheTpopuJar vote speaks fot- tt-lf.

Thsy "are not she-n, neither are they fools. j - - - - - . DID THE ALLIES MAKE A DISCOV ERY? An exchange thinks the allies blork- ading Venezuel-i n ports made a discov ery of some kind,' at some stage in the game. Here is the argument: The agreement of the "FresldErnt; of Venezuela to submit to arbitration the differences between Venezuela and the European nations that have blockaded Venezuelan wrts nlaccs the allies in ca n. w a u Jnitivii. - - iiixr votT - j-- purpose of the allies was to collects sum of money insignificant in amount; n n a-TLr u-. -t ruilUn TT V a MtAttaililA I when compared with the coat of the - collecting expedition. Venezuela s yearly Imports are, one year "with an other, about JS.000.000 in value. This small amount of goods comes mostly froiri the countries conducting the blockade. The receipts from the :-cus torn houses are the .principal sources of revenue , from, 'which payment oi debts could be secured. and the -blockade; closes the custom houses. - The oeonte l evn the portion of them who are of foreign birth, "are so Incensed by the action of the ( European Govern ments that. lt will be a . long time be fore old. trade relations will be re sumed..' The Inscrutable feature in the policy of the allies Is their assent to arbitration. When a nation, or aa alliance of nations, submits a dispute to arbitration. It admits that ruttkmal honor Is not an element In the diftpote. The controversy at once takes on toe character of a commercial affair. In the Venezuela case there was without doubt a purpose to punish the Vene zuelan Government , for . various acts complained of, but the allied Govern ments knew perfectly . Well that the only substantial asset of the offending Government could not be levied upon. What, then, was the real purpose ; the allied movement against Venezue la? Why did they submit their claim for moncj"; to .a court that, can only give a nominal verdict in their favor? Jf The Hague court finds' that Vene zuela owes all the allies claim as their just dues. It cannot enforce judgment. It is a reasonable assumption, one jus tified by known. facts of the case, that at some stage In the operations against Venezuela, the allies made a moment ous discovery. What may be. the nat ure of .that discovery is matter for speculation. ' If the allies had succeed ed tn persuading President Roosevelt to accept the 'posit ion of arbiter, there would have been more basis for spec ulatlon than there now Is. With the Hague court l: as arbiter, speculation has uncertain ground to stand upon. 1 NO LONGER THE "POOR INDIAN. Great changes have come - to pajs among- all nations and peoples the past few earsi tut none" iea than that noted In the condition ot thel American - Indian, particularly those tribes now Hvinsr in luxury within the! bounds of the Indian- Territory. - Time was when the, pet subject of abuzel against the Government waJ thej Lit- j ters treatment of the aborigines. The redskins everywhere had the sympathy of. the? tender-hearted city folks of the -i - i East, who imagined Uncle Sam !. was i systematiosilly abusing his wards iwith the object of their gradual extinction. cooping- them up in a comparatively small -district, despoiling them of kheir old fertile lands and allowing thera but a yearly stipend for sustenance. 1 was a truly dismal 'pictura that used o be drawn of the much abused.: Indians. Today all is changed-The nobW red man, instead of being classed a aa ab- jeet ward of the Government, kepi r-: ia durance vile and generally imposed upon, Us distinguished above all other peoples on earth in that as a' nation he possesses Ihe .greatest wealth per cap ita of any. No state of .Europe. Asia, Africa or Australian can show as much average wealth for the total population as can the Indian tribes of America. Venice and Genoa in their most pros perous years of maritime supremacy could not have done so,' nefther could Rome, Athens or other ancient gov ernments of whose riches history tells us so much. For instance, the allot ment of the Choctaw lands will eive! every, man, woman and child in . that nation a fortune: equivalent to 110,000 in addition 'to resmlar homesteads auarter and half sections of fertile . . pv,owln ' thft Chortawll mel the Osage. Who have over 18.000.000 to their credit in the hands of the Govr errunent.'or a per capita 'cash wealth "of over s 4.700. ; Resides this they own 1.- 700. 4Q,000 acres of land In the gross, or over 700 acres to every member of the tribe. Thus these wards "of the Gov ernment j even down to the children, have more riches than the average la borer could save in a dozen years. ' But, thjs is not all. The Indians have not fteep- their richest days yet by .a great deal, i The future promises more to: thera. than to any other class "of people, 'and almost Insures their per- manently claiming the , title of the wealthies't nation on the earth, if they maintain their racial distinction. The Government still makes t provision for the maintenance of schools without ex pense to the tribes, and has large sums of money In trust for the redskins. Thi; Is annually drawing interest and, in creasing, a More important than all. hoeven te the magnificent prospect . before the Indians in their realty hold-j ings In the Territory., the thousands and even millions of acres of land still controlled and owned' by the aborts-1 ines are amonar the most fertile in the West, being alike adaptable to ! t'hel growing of crops and the raising of ail forms of live stock. There is no reason j why In time these lands will not be asj aruable for agricultural purposes as j are the farms of Illinois tcnlay. Then in;' addition to the agricultural-ossi- J biCties of the Indian lands, there-rej other sources of ' future' great wealth, j such as extensive coal fields underiy- 1 ing the Country, numerous gas well...l oih wells, and beds of precious I and every day minerals of commerqfe.- The day for charitable sympathy to- wards tne inaians nas now passea. in- I ik-H tt Ivol n&r mirA lnvviTmrtT ft'ink ot;' - - ' - M. dependent upon the Nation for support, they are Individually wealthy and are loirs Fiitui C' 1 .1- : J'- -. . - ; 1 Something ftr Mothers V 4 to Think About.

Should a man wish to leave behind him a memory that will survive the ravages of time needed to administer on his estate, he needs must die poor. as the word is understood in these days. There ia Charles Broadwaw UKouss. the well-known millionaire mer chant of New Tork, w bo accanialaJted a fortune in business, despite his biindnes. It will be recalled that for some years before his death he had a stamding ofTer of what would be a for tune for the average man. to anyone who would cure his Infirmity and make him able to enjoy the blessed privilege of seeing. He 'died without having at tained that desire and the money that might have been some man's fortunate enough to have restored his eyesight was left to his family, primarily and secondarily for others to fight over. In Mfe Mr. Rouss was roted aa a man .of manyj benevolences, in all ris spects. a most exerplary citizen. Y-t he, hasn't been dead long enough for bis estate to be setled Tip before the.fam-i Uy cl6set is jthrown wide open and a whole bunch, of skeletons expoad to the public gaze. As usual In such cases,these skeletons take the shape of Women. : ' ''' : - -. .- '.-" ;,:'; v- I .According to, the statement 'of one j of these women, a matron of six and forty, she met the merchant , thirty say. a girl of IS.

He paid her marked atten- , - . tion, tf lling ler. he was a single nun. and finally Induced her to. go to Nl- -rr . ii i t . . ' ' - , as performed. They afterwals 1 ved together as. man and wife. When she discovered his duplicity; something like ten years ago she -say be oftered to would not bring suit and make the max. . ter" public -He paid about one-flftli or - ' the amount. Now she is suing the es ; tate lor the balance. Then there "is another and yourger woman who brings a slwiUr - claim against the estate, the 'difference be ing (that it is for a stated allowapce and not for a lump sum. It would sc m that; when the first woman had it-ached the age of 3S, Rouss craved charjge. He may; have ben blind, but e.'d ntly love wasn't, thereby giving the nega tive to the old and well-kaown Fayipg.

It s a.1 most enough to reconcile a man to dying poor. ... .The Republican party of Oregon- is approaching one of the most serious periods of Its' history. Two years ago the representatives of that party put into-the form of law the principle of the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people. It was acted upony nearly 7&.000 men of Ore gon at the polls last June. Now it is proposed to disregard this vote; in ef feet, to say the people of Oregon do not know what they want; to slap them in the face, because the man receiving the highest number of votes 43,000 votes is not pleasing to a few Republican bosses, ambitious themselves and self seeking. It is .not the political fortunes of Mn Geer at stake. IT IS A PRIN CIPAL, THAT, IS AT STAKE, and a principle dear to the hearts of the peo ple' as they .indicated by their votes. It is not a proposition solely .to slap in the face; 45.000. Republicans of Oregon,-who voted for Mr. Geer. : It is a proposition as well to slap in the face 33,000 Demo crats who cast their ballots for Mr. Wood. It is a dangerous-proposition and-far-reaching: Do not forget that., The ghosj of these-78.000 votes will not down. It will pursue the men making this proposition like a Nemesis, not this year and next only, buf for years to come. Better nave a care, gentlemen. The proposition to disregard the popular vote is not concerning persons. Ht concerns principles. It does matter about- Governor Geer, "excepting that his name was the one on the ticket re- ceiving the highest number of votes. It is a dangerous proposition, to slap 4S.000 -voters in the face In, fact. 78,000, for the vote for C K.. S. Wood was in round numbers 33,000.1 These 78.000 men in he state of Oregon voted for a i?riaciple- -.They, -clinched the oft-re pealed arguments and demands tor the; election of Senators by direct vote of ihe people. They knew what -they were doing. They will know , w hat , they are'doinijf in the 'future. And there will EureTy be "something doing in Oregon politics if they are turned down and virtually told they do not. know their wn business. 1 : The locomotive- eutput of the United SUiles is IS per day, and each day of the yearv twelve old locomotives are 1 onsigned to the scrap pile.
