Johnson, who wants tho nomination for mayor of Cleveland on the straight-out democratic ticket, has retired from business and will devote his life to democracy, according to an intention be has bad in mind for some time. He opposes the extension of street railroad franchises and Is in fa vor of municipal ownership and 3-cent fares. Mrs. Nation has lectured ffie gov ernor of .'Kansas, smashed several yards of plate glass, assaulted a Bheriff, punched and been punched, been horse whipped, been hauled to a dungeon cell, has made several tons of speeches and a whole series of tableaux, scenes, living pictures and trouble. She must be dramatized. That form of greatness is hW due. The drama of the petticoat and hatchet should be made as famous as the drama of the cape and sword.— New York Sun. In the editorial comment on current affairs in the February lteview of He vie we, the death of Queen Victoria and the accession of King Edward, as the overshadowing events of the past mouth, demand first place. Ex cellent portraits of the lamented queen, tlie new king, Queen Alexandria, and o'htr members of the British royal family accompany the text. The editor analyzes the remarkable influence of Victoria as a sovereign, reviews her long splendi'f reign, and points out the elements of strength and stability in the qonarchy as it will be administer ed by IOdward VII, Tlie Wisdom of Napoleon. (From the New York Journal.) Napoleon gave this order to his se cretary: "During the night enter ray chamber as seldom at possible. Do not awake me when you have imy good news to communicate with that there Is no hurry. But when you bring bad news, rouse me instantly, for then there is not a moment to be lost." In this order of the great general, Hfresit schemer, great gambler, great ad venturer, great 'statesman, great law maker, to his secretary there is a valu able lesson for all the generals, schemers, gamblers, adventurers, states men and lawmakers of the world, and a lesson still more important for every little human being, for every man of business. The feeblest of us is rouBed to activity, to initiative, by good news. We are ready for it. We want to be waked up to bear it. But when bad news comes we don't want to be waked. We pull the bed-, clothes over our KeMsandlry to shut it out. Wo close our eyes and go to sleep again. And while we i'are asleep the bad news finishes the b-3d work which it bad begun. The famous old picture shows the eastern despot climbiDg on his couch, gazing out across the country. On the ground beside him lie beadless corpses of unfortunate creatures, "messenger) of evil tidings." These he. beheaded *B they reached him. And his day was qnickly ended. Had Napoleon occupied the place of that Eastern murdering potentate, you would have found him sitting on the edge of his Oriental bed, with his bare legs, disherited 'hair and animated face. The bearers of evil news would have been alive and in turn interrogat ed with passionate interest. With the quickness of human thought plans to counteract the bad news would have been formed, and the next shifting of the scenes would have shown Napoleon sound asleep, refus ing to be wakened, while the bearers of good tidings stood cooling their heels outside. Study Napoleon's order to his secre tary. Apply it to your own lives. Be cool in the face of good news. Don't waste your energies congratulating yourself on it. Save your Btrength and resources and vitality for bad news. Uo 0'it to meet it boldly and give orders that will admit it to you even when sleeping. In the series on "Great Religions of the World, Sir Lepel Griffin contri butes to the February number of the North American lteview an article on •'.Sikhism and the Sikhs." Sikhism, as a separate religlouB system, is the re sult of a revolt against Brabmanism, similar to that of protestantism againEt the church of ltome, and it is a note worthy coincident that Luther and Nunak, the leaders in these two move ments, were born and died within afew years of each other. Sir Lepel Grillln, iu a singularly lucid manner, ets forth the line of doctrine expounded by Nanak und his eight immediate suc cessors iu the office of Guru, the changes introduced by Govind Singh, and the practice of the Sikhs of to-day. who show a tendency to revert to Hindu ceremonial and modes of. thought. It is iu high terms that Sir Lopel writes of Nanak and bis teaching: "Nanak was a true prophet, and ac complished worthily an exalted mission. His system, like all systems, had many imperfections and chief of them were those which equally belonged to Calvin ism, in the substitution of one tyranny fur another, and the overshadowing of "11 human joy by a predestined lot which no faith or virtue could modify. But the good far outweighed the evil. Nanak taught the wisdom and omni potence of one Supreme God, and the equality of all men, of whatever race or creed, in His Bight purity of life, charity, humility and temperance. He enjoined kindness to animals, and for bade both female infanticide and tbe burning of widows. He condemned idolatry and asceticism, and preached the wholesome doctrine that tbe state of the worker and householder was the most'honorable condition, and that to find God and serve him, it was not nec essary to practice austerities or retire from active life. Hia object, in which he largely succeeded, was to purge Hinduism of the dross which bad gath ered about it to lift it from tbe slough 1 Insurance In ant class oomuaiilea written' and polio!#, luued by BBOHSOM OCABB. of polytheism and vain ceremonial In which it was chocked, aud to bring it back to the firm ground and the pore air ofVedaa.'1 The Boy. I wouldn't be a single thing on earth F.xcept a boy And it's just an accident of birth That I'm a boy: And, good gracious!—When I stop and think That 1 once trembled on the very brink Of making my appearance here a girl It fairly makes my ears and eyebrows curl— ButI'mabov Just think of the jolly fun there Is When you're a boy I tell you, you're just full of business When you're a boy: There's fires to build In all the vacant lots. Go swlmmln', tie foUers' olothes in knots, Tie tin cans on the tails of dogs—why, Reel .The dayi* ain't half as long as they should be— When you're a boy. There's lots of foolish things that make you tired When you're a boy There's lots of grouohy men that cai-'t be hlrod To like a boy There's wood to ohop'at home, and wood to bring And "Here, do this—do that—tbo other tiling!" And, worse than all, there's glrls-H)h, holy smoke! Are they a crime, or are they Just a joke Upon a boy. And then thore's always somebody to jaw To every boy: "Pick uo your coat: see where you've put your liat Don't stone the dog don't tease the poor old cat Don't race around the house"—^rfhy suffrln' Moses? The only time you have tc practice things like those Is Wbon you're a boy. And yet. I doa't believe I'd change a thing For a boy You'vo got to laugh, to cry, to work, to sing, To ba any boy. With all Ills thoughtless noise and ca-eless play. With ult his heartfelt trials day by days, With all his boyish hopes and all his fears, I'd like to live on earth a thousand years, And be a boy. The treasury department trusts few, a fact that has increased Uncle Sam's revenue a great deal, as tbe majority of the boarding officers know. Recently the holder of a pass boarded a White Star liner aud was approached by a passenger to whom he was a perfect, stranger. The latter said: "I understand you are connected with so and so. I have a small pack-, age here that I would like to take ashore. There is nothing dutiable in it, but you understand how the govern ment piles it on. I will meet you at the head of the gangway when I get my luggage released, and I will take the package from you." Not only did this pass holder not take the package, but the first thing he did upon landing was to point out the pas* senger to a member of the surveyor's staff, who very promptly demanded and received the package. It contained jewelry of all descriptions. That an unauthorized person may not get on board an Incoming craft in advance of the customs officials the following is attached to every pass that Is issued for the revenue cutter: "This permission is understood to be subjcct to the assent of the master of the steamship and of the health- officer as guardian of the public health, and boarding is strictly forbidden until aft er the customs officers are In charge, according to the following extract from the passenger act, 18S2: 'Section 9. That it shall not be law ful for the master of any (such) steam ship or other vessel not In distress aft er the. arrival of the vessel within aiiy collection district of the United States to allow any. person or persous except a pilot, officer of the customs or health officer, agents of the vessel and consuls to come on board of the vessel or to leave the vessel until the vessel has been taken iu charge by an officer of the customs nor after charge so taken without leave of such officer until all the passengers, with their baggage, have been duly landed from the ves sel.' When tie revenue cutter pass system was origiually introduced, nobody in the government employ seems to know. In the old days It was the custom to meet relatives and friends back from an ocean trip on the pier heads. The revenue cutter pass Is a simple piece of paper in itself, but Is the study of many years aud countless number of practical officials. The manner in which it Is obtalued, the demands made upon Its holder, the restrictions as to its use and its composition in every way are the result of Innumerable revisions of passes that have preceded It during the last 20 years, and it now omits nothing that will protept Uncle Sam, as it really should do. A few years ago It was possible for all sorts of idlers to gain admission to a pier while the passengers of a ship from foreign parts were lauding. This had been the practice for some years, and the steamship gatemau had the sole and exclusive right of deciding who should enter. It was supposed and frequently discovered in Individual cases'that dutiable goods were secretly passed to these friends who came down to welcome the homecomer. Sording -W. H,Pierce. MEETING A BIG LINER NOT EASY TO BOARD AN'INCOMING FVVESSEL IN NEW YORK BAY. Unci* Sam Grants Few Requests For Pa*»cs on tbe Revenue Cutter* Which Go Out to Meet tbe Steam ihipi From Europeun Porta. When it is generally understood, as It generally is not, that fully 300 persons make application daily in season for passes to board incoming ocean steam ers from revenue cutters and tli^t not more than 2 per cent of the requests are granted, it may be understood how valuable the treasury department con siders these privileges. The occurrence 1b rare, but is nevertheless legal for tbe master of the ship for -which a pass calls to refuse to permit the holder to board his ship. All revenue cntter passes areu Issued by the collector of the port and must be countersigned by the surveyor. The revenue of every country on dutiable personal effects depends for its volume on the ability of the customs authorities to have them duly listed and taxed on arrival. In the*event of a promiscuous granting of cutter passes it would be possible for a certain dishonest element that is to be found under every sun to meet in coming friends down the bay and sur reptitiously bring ashore at the pier valuables purchased abroad. As a consequence the Inability to get ttyrtnue cutter out did not niki MANCHESTEB, IOWA, WENDESDAY, FEBURARY 18, 1901 VOL. .XXVII—NO. 7. auch material difference, the dock af full scope for any desired work to a dishonest way. To protect the purposes of the cutter passes and to place a further barrier around Illegal practices the treasury department re cently made a new rule thai admission tp a pier during the docking of an In coming steamer could be. obtained by card only. This admission ticket, like the revenue cutter passes, is not' trans ferable and must bear the name of the holder, the signature of the steamship company and the Indorsement of the collector of the port. The perfection 01 the cutter pass system as to transfer may be appreciated when it Is stated that the beneficiary of the pass must affix his name to the pass on receiving it at the custom house and again when he boards the cutter at the Battery. This eliminates all chance of the pass being transferred. Transfers have been illegally made, but the holder, be ing unnble to furnish the same signa ture as that supplied at the custom house, was compelled to leave the cut ter, and the pass was taken up.—New York Mail and Express.
